Fairphone 4 no battery options in the U.S

Help Fairphone 4
1

I was worried about this when I originally purchased. I have two fairphones 4s one with Android and the other with Ubuntu Touch.

One of the batteries became swollen which is now a unsafe hazard.

I can’t find anyway to purchase a battery in the U.S. what should I do?

Kind of defeats sustainability and repair ability if the parts aren’t sold.

Hello, Murena has it but now it is out of stock.

Please consider the following:

  • checking some other resellers as well,
  • asking at the US topics - perhaps some one has an old battery lying around,
  • registering at murena to be notified once it’s back

Please dispose of a swollen battery as soon as possible.

Is that the recommended place to shop for Fairphone products in the U.S.? Though I think they only ship with /e/OS. Can you unlock bootloader and change OS on a Murena Fairphone?

Murena is an official FP partner in the US.

However I seem to recall that if you purchase from Murena and (re)flash FPOS, it affects your warranty. Please double check warranty conditions offered by Murena.

I guess with the new tolls its incredible difficult to get things to US from companies.

Yes, you can. Don’t lock the bootloader in the process.
First you have to check
`fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability_’
If the outcome is 0 then never lock the phone, because it will brick the phone.
