Thank you for bringing this update to the FP4!

The update installation went smooth. However, I have problems using the Voice Input (Google Assistant) when connected to Android Auto. Android crashes and the phone reboots.

Kernel version will always be a problem, as long as there is no regulation. Maybe the EU will understand it some day.

I really hope, they updated at least the config for the mobile network device driver, tooā€¦

Update ran smoothly.
You mention:
ā€¦
Option to remove search bar from home screen
ā€¦
Where do I find this Option?

It should be (my phone is in German):

Settingsā†’Screenā†’Searchbar

But beware, this needs a reboot!

I just tested and I have all my BT devices and could connect without issues to 2 of 3 so I guess the reason I could not connected to the third one is rather with the BT device and not the FP4

@peci1 @Fairphone_CM so it might have a different route cause than the bug that was fixed, unless we get many reports about this

Not entirely surprised. However, I did spot ā€œCIPā€ in the version name, which is Civil Infrastructure Platform. This seems to be a consortium back-porting stuff to ancient kernels. Pretty fascinating to see the FP team pulled off a rebase to a CIP-maintained kernel. And their kernel tree does actually contain tons of fixes and optimisations for core elements of the kernel. No idea about the modem stuff though, thatā€™s an out-of-tree driver(/firmware) from Qualcomm.

I just did the update and had this happen to me as well, my connected devices list became empty. Not a big issue as I can just re-pair what I need but noting it does seem to be a bug.

Could you also check, if someone can provide the boot image and/or install package for his update ASAP?

@Lars_Hennig they are on their way! we are aiming to provide them as quickly as possible once the roll out starts, but itā€™s not always possible to be published at the same time

Everything worked out for me, no issues with Bluetooth devices. It needed to restart twice, which surprised me.

The upgrade went smoothly :slightly_smiling_face:.
But I miss the control to disable the camera in Quick Settings. Also the option 'Camera accessā€™ is missing in Settings > Security & privacy > Privacy controls. Does anyone else have this problem and perhaps a solution?

Best regards,
Robert

Update went smoothly for me, thanks.
