Hi Jerry,

With “experienced user” we mean that the user should understand how to install the update manually, and doesn’t mind to play around with the phone, give us feedback and install new beta builds. ADB skills are not a requirement, though knowledge of ADB doesn’t hurt of course.

Cheers,

Rick

Nice approach to include users in testing.

I have a question: Is the following bug fixed already? If not, is there any hope that it will get fixed in 1.8?

@romain @rattini: You need to send an email to beta@fairphone.com including your forum name, if you want to take part in the program.

I guess quite some people are already beta-testers by now.

Some questions to all of you:
Did you have to sign a NDA?
Are your sharing information with each other?
If not, wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a sub-forum for you guys?

I’d also be interested to read about your experiences, both with the processes and results in beta-testing FPOS. Not possible if there is a NDA, of course.

no I didn’t sign one.

there is one, but only beta testers can see it.

I guess you could apply to the beta testing program and then don’t download and install the os update but just read the posts in the sub-forum. just send an email including your forum username to beta@fairphone.com and mention that you just want to access the forum without actually participating, just in case they have concerns about such desires.

Same for me, I quote 100% what @paulakreuzer wrote :smile:

I’d only suggest to the moderators (if possible) to let all the other users to have read-only access to the beta-testing section, if they want simply read posts, without participate to the program (and if they’re interested in getting some information about current beta state).

Naah, I deliberately try not to get involved at the current moment, trying to work here. Spending far to much time on the forum already. (Damn, what am I doing here? It just feels too friendly and rewarding to drop by at least every other day… should… resist… work… to… do… :wink: )

Interesting idea. Could be worth a shot. @anon12454812, what do you think?

As mentioned before, there is no NDA.
So far there have been two beta releases. I skipped the initial release because I read about a lot of people having problems installing the Google apps. Installing the second release was completely hassle free for me. But to be honest, so far every FP update has been without any problems for me.

Just received my FP1 back from support. Since I would have to set up all system parts and then restore all apps anyway - and so put some time and effort in getting everyting as I want it to be - I feel like I can as well join the beta test. Yay. \o/

Just wrote the mail - I’ll probably be joining you guys soon…
