OK you got me I have got a different problem. But my experience WAS the opposite as it was not âfinally GPS works flawlessâ but âI canât rely on my phoneâs GPS any moreâ.
I will try with a data cable, as this sounds legit because of better shielding. But I still think itâs related to the Update as nothing else had been changed.
Any idea how is that so?
This is one of the customisations Fairphone made to Android 5. Android 6 is pretty much the stock Android.
They omitted those modifiactions as you can read here: Android 6.0 coming to the Fairphone 2 - Fairphone
By taking a more standardized approach, we can free up some of our limited time and resources to focus on other projectsâŚ
Time will show if some of the custom features will come back in near future. There are developers in the community willing to do this and publish things like the Edge Swipe Menu or the Widgets on Fdroid. But I guess modifications to the Shutdown Menu will need more than just a third party App âŚ
So after a couple of weeks of things running pretty smoothly, the phone started to reboot itself for no good reason again, like it did before the upgrade (not quite as often yet, but the trend is not goodâŚ)
Dear all,
After I did a factory reset (bootloop due to google app) I got an issue with battery drain. According to the battery monitor WiFi is the reason. I searched and found it was a common problem with marshmallow. I tried all solutions that were recommended (network reset, WiFi settings and location settings) without success. What would you recommend: factory reset or re-install with updater experienced mode?? Are all my data wiped with the updater solution?
Thanks for your help!!
Good things first: I found that while unwanted resets still happen every now and then freezes have become less - but thatâs just a first impressions from a few weeks of usage now.
What annoys me most is that my Network based location handling with Tasker is not to working anymore - I only get a Network location update on reboot. To fix it I had to switch to Network + GPS location which obviously will leech the battery more.
I found a similar claim regarding CM13 where it was narrowed down to a ROM issue - thus not sure if itâs a ROM issue on FP2 as well or if Tasker is not up-to-date with latest location handlingâŚ
Finally found some time this bright Sunday afternoon to update my FP2 to MM.
Since I had deactivated multiple system apps including Google App I made a backup first using TWRP without installation like described by @retsifp (using the signed TWRP image provided by @z3ntu).
Then I reactivated the Google App (as mentioned in post #2) to avoid the bootloop problem and updated it to the current release.
This, however, did only help partially: the FP2 wasnât caught in the bootloop but the update canceled with the same error message @fj40heinz mentioned in post #55. So I reactivated all deactivated system apps again and updated them to the current version, which didnât help either.
The solution was to reinstall FP OS version 1.13.0 again (OTA file via Updater) like suggested by @ChuckMorris and @anon12454812.
After that the update to 17.04.8 went smoothly. Next step will be to make another TWRP to be on the safe side.
So thanks to all of you (and - not to forget - to @paulakreuzer) for providing your insights and solutions for the issues related to MM update here in the forum. You all really saved my day!
Special thanks go to the guys at Fairphone for providing the Android 6 update in the first place.
WOW! After I updated it seems that the screen cannot rotate anymore. Anyone else having this problem? It is both when I turn on the automatic totate-thing as well as when I take photographs. And that means that now I cannnot take horizontal pictures
I canât rotate the screen when on the homescreen, but that wasnât possible with 5.1 either.
But itâs working flawlessly with the apps I tested (Open Camera, stock Contacts app, stock Telephone app).
I had no problem rotating my screen before the update to Android 6. Now I cannot rotate anywhere.
Maybe a stupid question, but anyway: are you sure you havenât accidentially switched of autorotate?
You can check in the swipe-down menu or under Settings - Display - When device is rotated (should be âRotate the contents of the screenâ).
Yes, I am very sure I have tried that - it makes no difference. Also this shouldnât have any effect when I try to take a horizontal photograph. The camera should always automatically register if the phone is put to horizontal and adjust the photo to that no matter what is turned on or off in the swipe-down menu.
Ok⌠now it suddenly works out from nowhere. Hope it will keep working
Same here. But all in all the Update worked Out pretty Well.
Only new issue I got, i cant Charge my Phone from my PC even if it Shows "USB Connection Charge only"
