Got it back with Android 12. No real problems with the startup the second time round - the first time there was no onscreen keyboard displayed anywhere, and I don’t want to talk to my phone - had to do a factory reset… Apart from the fact that I think it highly unusual that no operating manual is available. I don’t need a printed manual, a PDF download would be fine. I cannot and don’t want to watch hours of video tutorials while not being sure that an answer to my question can be found anywhere (e.g.: what is the purpose of the two small circular and square buttons at the lower end of the screen?).
If you mean on the screen, as there are no buttons on the face, Fairphone probably consider that as it’s a part of the default Android this would be common knowledge or at least not specific to the phone.
… and of course, since this is common knowledge anyway, there is no need to answer my question? Or don’t you know the answer yourself? Then why bother answering at all?
I don’t know a better question than ‘what is the purpose of the two small circular and square buttons at the lower end of the screen?’ -
On the other hand I don’t know what you mean by ‘launcher’? I just did a factory reset and proceeded according to the messages on the screen.
I might have been a little rude, apologies for that. But it is not the first time that I encounter people in forums who do not read what I wrote (or fail to understand what I mean) but give an answer anyway that doesn’t help at all. In such a case it is easy for me to to lose my patience.
And I think this is such a basic question that ‘cannot operate’ is not too far off topic.
There are three symbols, not two, a triangle, a circle and a square. If you are using the standard Fairphone software, what I assume after your postings, they are standard in Android, if you don‘t activate gesture navigation and described for example here:
Thanks! That was the answer I was looking for. I had found out by myself what the little triangle is used for, therefor I only asked about the circle and square.
