Yesterday I just got my brand new FP3. After installing /e/, I begin to try it but, it seems I have a problem with the ear speaker. It doesn’t work. Instead, sound is coming from the rear speaker. Even if I use the checkup tools
I can’t tell if it’s a hardware problem or a software problem.
You could install Fairphone OS to see whether it works then …
If it works, you could install /e/ again.
If it doesn’t work with Fairphone OS either, you could disassemble the top module, clean the contacts with cleaning alcohol and reassemble the module … please see section “Replace the Top Module” here …
If you don’t feel confident doing this, perhaps #fairphoneangels (<- see link for info) in your vicinity could be able to help, it’s worth asking.
It’s hard to say with certainty, but this might also be related to an ongoing audio issue with the FP3 that Fairphone has been working on to fix for quite a while. You might want to test if a reboot of your FP3 makes a difference (unfortunately, if it does, it will probably not last as a fix forever, so we still need the fix from Fairphone).
