Hey @M_Dammer sorry to hear you are disappointed by the work of Fairphone so far. It might be good to remember we are actually a pretty small company working on three OS’s at the moment. For the Fairphone 2 it seems that 95% is currently not using the Fairphone Open OS.

So if we want to relieve stress from our support team and create more time to work on other stuff (Fairphone Open, Sailfish, Expansion Port, new modules) we first have to make sure that amount of issues that 95% of our users have decline.

In the end it is all about priorities: we can’t do everything now. Just as we ‘only’ have four value-chains mapped so far, just as we have ‘only’ created one worker welfare fund thus far, we are in a process of opening our soft- and hardware. Step-by-step we get closer to a fairer phone. Sorry if this does not go as fast as you want…

By the way, I do not think this is true. Fixes from GMS make it into Fairphone Open pretty quick. For instance; the proximity sensor calibration tool that was introduces in GMS in 1.6.2 in august is in the latest Open update. Also all latest Android fixes are in there.
