We found an critical bug in the Fairphone Open 16.08 / 16.09
Ambient light sensor bug was solved, but now the phone is prevented to go to the deep sleep.

@Douwe & @anon36364121: 3 weeks ago I’ve sent an e-mail (actually 2 already) to beta [at] fairphone.com that I want to participate in the beta testing of FP open OS. Unfortunately, I haven’t received an answer yet.

Could you please initiate the activation?

[explit]

1+ for me too. @explit I also wrote many emails for opt-in.
Please opt-in us manually. Thanks!

Hey @Douwe! Sorry to bother you again. I saw here that you activated @explit, but I think, my account hasn’t been activated yet. It’d be really nice, if you could manually add me as well.

[Douwe]

Hey @tphysm, I asked @anon12454812 to have a look at your email and allow you based on that.
Let’s hope this poke helps him. Otherwise I’ll look into it tomorrow.

Best,
Douwe

[tphysm]

Cool, thanks!

Btw how will I recognize the access? Will it pop up or will additional topics in the #software:dev category arise?

[tphysm]

Hey @Douwe, still no change - sorry to bother you again…

[tphysm]

Now it works - thanks for giving me access!

The irony. Entering my info in a Google form to beta test FP open…
Can’t wait for the sources to start trying to get an NL dictionary in the keyboard.
