/e/OS Smartphone Operating System Development Updates

There have been reports of slow download speed for v3.2 builds. The team is aware of this and looking into it. We are experiencing a large number of downloads across builds which is leading to these sluggish downloads.

Thank U for replying that fast..

The download connections are not only sluggish, it also shuts down with an network error after a couple of minutes. I tested this with two seperate providers..

Ok, thank U 4 looking into this.. :slight_smile:

3 November has come and gone, so I believe all the 3.2 builds should be out by now.

For Fairphone 5, it seems thereā€™s no 3.2-a14 (or -a13), only 3.2-a15 (in both official and community releases).

That means I donā€™t get the latest security updates this month if Iā€™m not yet ready to also move from Android 14 to A15. Is this a one-off for 3.2, or do I need to move my FP5 to A15 to get any more security updates? (Iā€™m running the official build.)

Checking with the team. Will update

Update: The FP5 will only have A15 builds moving forward. Suggest you start planning to upgrade your device after taking a backup.

Are there any release notes for it?

3.2 download ota took 1 - 2 hours ( normaly under 5 min. ) and stopped 2 or 3 times , but Installation worked well .

@ Manoj : Will get a Pixel 9 official ?

( found ā€œ no device maintainer for tokay ā€œ 3 weeks ago )

yep, I experienced the same, had to pause and restart the download a couple of times too.

31

That is the key point which decides which device gets an official build.

@Manoj: following builds are still not released:

  • OnePlus 7pro A13 V3.2 (latest: V3.04)
  • OnePlus 9 A15 not released

Any updates? Thanks!

34

Thanks for the update. Will check with the build team and get back with the response.

Update:

  • OnePlus 7pro A13 V3.2 (latest: V3.04)
    • v3.2 onwards OnePlus 7 pro will have only the A14 and A15 builds.
  • OnePlus 9 A15 not released
    • A15 released for the OnePlus 9 lemonade - it would require a manual install after taking a backup.
35

Thanks for the feedback @Manoj, although you informed before that /e/OS will support 3 builds (so OnePlus 7pro only 2, A14 and A15 are being maintained). Thatā€™s too bad.

36

Personally , I would prefer the komodo ( Pixel 9 pro XL ) or the caiman ( Pixel 9 pro ) for official .

37

One of the key factors which impacts our continued support is the availability of security updates for an OS. As a rule, when you are 2 OS levels behind you should start planning on an OS upgrade. Else you stand the risk of not getting security or vendor patches.

Thank you for confirming.

Can you/developers confirm that 3.2-a15 for FP5 will not suffer from the FP5 fingerprint sensor issue? That has been my main reason for avoiding A15 so far.

(I know that 3.2-a15 incorporates firmware FP5.VT2E.C.059.20250908, which was the upstream release in which that issue was reported as fixed. And I might speculate that the reason 3.1.1-a15 and 3.1.4-a15 for FP5 were pulled after release was due to the risk of bricking from the fingerprint sensor issue. But I havenā€™t seen anyone confirm whether /e/OS ever suffered this issue, and if so, whether incorporating FP5.VT2E.C.059.20250908 is expected to have fixed it.)
