I can confirm HDR mode doesn’t work. The app stops after the photo is taken.
Another problem: if I use phone memory as default for photos, it’s OK, but if I use my SD card, I get blank photos.
For me the f-droid OpenCamera (not the /e/-fork) works in all modes at least HDR. (It was a hint at the end in the testing channel
Just tried Open Camera from fDroid: HDR works but still have blank photos when saved to SD card
What’s the way firmware updates (modem/baseband/etc.) are being delivered with /e/ + Fairphone?
I got an update notification for e/OS 0.9-2020051454091…
Is it save to update it (on fp3 directly) and does it update the active slot or does it overwrite the inactive one? I have the stockrom at the incative slot for backup.
Good question. I guess you need to ask that in the /e/ forum (if you haven’t done so already).
no i did not, yet. i hoped someone had tested it allredy 
I ran the update today and have had no issues.

I was responding to libre’s question about firmware updates, not yours about the slots.
It took roughly 30min to download and apply the update and this is what I found: after using the update functionality on the phone I saw that the active slot has changed.
That’s what I suspected (the update is installed on the background and then it needs a simple reboot) but now I’m sure

I have also installed it today, no problems so far. I wonder if there are any release notes available? The “Show Changelog” Link in the Updater-dialog goes to nowhere.

I see that there is at least one way to enable root for /e/ on the Fairphone 3 with Magisk, great! (any opinions on if Magisk is the “best” way to enable root?)

I also see that in order to invoke the Fairphone 3 warranty in case of problems with the phone, I will need to re-flash the phone with the stock Fairphone OS.
If I do need to re-flash the stock Fairphone OS for warranty purposes, would it be difficult if my bootloader is unlocked and the phone is running a rooted /e/? What are the steps? Can anyone advise on this? Thanks.
1: I’m not aware of any. Chainfire still badly missed 
2: I flashed back to stock rom following this:
Should be even more simple if the bootloader is unlocked (I had to unlock again).

Got it, so it’s doable, great! Thank you!
This explanation of course requires (Debian) Linux.
For us (stupid) Windows users it seems to be a bit more compicated.

I haven’t tried root yet (stupidly locked the bootloader before realising that I could easily have rooted my phone at that point), but otherwise I’m really happy with /e/. Even the power consumption is visibly better. After the latest update, LiveDisplay also works, so I uninstalled Red Moon, which I had installed as a replacement.
Now my only issue is that I don’t have TTS installed, which is a bit weird when using the GPS. I tried Espeak from F-Droid but it crashes, so I tried Flite and it works. I can now at least use my GPS navigation voice in English. It doesn’t have Greek installed, which offers a lot of hilarious moments when driving in Greece. But that’s currently the least of my worries.

For reference when using OsmAnd for navigation …

Fastboot should work very similar on Windows.
