The postman is clearly a cretin and you should try and find out who delivered this. It should be DHL, not your local postman, so easier to track down. This could have easily been 525€ out the window in a jiffy! As for the migration of my phone I use a nifty little free app called Super Backup. It will back up and redeploy your apps, contacts, SMS, call logs and bookmarks. Not the app data but it’s always a bad idea to migrate app data snyway, even with Titanium…

Why? I’ll try to migrate my apps + data as soon as I get my FP2, so I’m a bit curious now 
I have never tried it myself but I have read in various forums that some apps’ data migration can mess up the stability of the whole system. Not to blame on Titanium, it is just that a phone with a different hardware than the one on which the data was created will not always take it well. Sorry that I can’t be more technical than that. For my part I am grateful that I can migrate pretty much everything else easily with the right tools.

Best solution for me… clean install apks (not from Titanium) and migrate data once this is done using Titanium.

I don’t think that it’s an app (maybe rather part of the lock screen widget), but you’ll find it by tapping on whatever is displayed on your lock screen (may be clock, battery prediction or “Your fairphone for”).
…
Where has the Peace of Mind app gone??
It actually is an app. But it needs root and most of it all Android forbids to get Airplane Mode" activated by any other app since (if I remember correctly) Version 4.4.
So, what you need to do to have it on FP2 is rooting, installing xposed modules and installing the “Airplane Mode Helper” module.
Activate it, reboot and install:
I tried and it works.
@Paulkreuzer: maybe you can move this to where this fits better?

Fantastic USB-2, thanks for the little guide. I don’t want to DIY root my FP2, waiting for the official ROM so it won’t happen any time soon I guess.
Not 100% correct, (if you refer also to rooted phones.)
I use PowerToggles and it is allowed to switch Airplane mode ON/OFF by a homescreen toggle at my rooted FP2.
In comparison to the 2G/3G and mobile date ON/OFF toggles which does not work.
@fgaine: Maybe you should consider to root it by yourself, as it is no big deal if you are clear about what to do, I can confirm amongst a lot of others in this thread…
Well, I’ve had my fp2 for a month now, and I’m very happy with it. A couple of minor gripes (jumpy touch screen, no option to modify the voice sound quality, lack of swipe keyboard).
I’ve had none of the othet problems people have reported. Did I get lucky? Or am I easily pleased?
I love the see through back!
Got pulled over by security leaving Paris last week … The security guy wanted to look at my phone! He was quite excited by it and wanted to know if he could get one in France.
Really, even if it weren’t for the “fair” credentials … I’d still be happy to have the fp2. Yes it’s expensive. But things like this SHOULD be expensive.

Here’s my ANTUTU benchmark for an FP2 straight out of the box, while charging :
GLOBAL 35442
3D 3437
UX 13836
CPU 13457
RAM 4712
HTML5 (default browser) 18561
What do you think about it ? It seems lower than I expected
Indeed, that seems low to me, i have my fairphone since 2 weeks 
GLOBAL 48111
3D 4834
UX 18634
CPU 19866
RAM 4777
I made some (Root) modifications to have this score, but i don’t recall mine being so low, except i messed with my CPU governors, can you download “Droid Info” and tell me your CPU governor ?
Maybe your phone didn’t fully started ( some “behavioral enhancements”, like pre-fetching can take some hours at very first startup), better wait a few days.
Also, while charging, your phone take advantage of the unlimited power supply to run tons of syncing and optimizing process that are a bit power hungry, try to test it again unplugged !
In order to achieve best conditions :
-Battery fully charged
-Unplugged
-Cold phone
-Not connected to internet ( Wifi/3G/4G,etc)
-Freshly rebooted, but at least 10 minutes of uptime
This way, all your phone capacities should be at best.
Based on all that “process”, keep in mind that benchmarks never truly reflects day-to-day behaviour, and if your phone never freeze, never lags, stay smooth…just enjoy it like this, the benchmarks are to easly influenced !
Yes no problem its incredibly smooth, like a magnitude away from my previous phone !
I didn’t root yet, but as soon as i will do, I will definitely play with governor settings, to try both ends, best performance and best battery life.
Thanks for the tip, i always thought that it would be faster while on external power.
My major gripe with my last phone was the battery life. Six to eight hours and back to a plug was not sufficient when I am out and about. The Samsung version of Android contained a number of apps that were using power, completely useless and not removable. I got my Fairphone 2 on Friday, charged it up and it only needed to be recharged on Monday morning. When it sleeps it uses very little power and this in itself means that I am very pleased with it. My original intention while buying one was to eventually replace Android with SailfishOS. Having used Fairphones slightly tweaked version of Android I am now not so sure. Also the phone has something of a personal touch. I like the little quirks such as telling you when the last time you unlocked the screen. As for the promise of a phone that will last for five years, well, time will tell on that one. I do like the idea of being able to shop parts in and out as needed. The ethical factor is of course a massive boost and a talking point if anyone asks about the phone. I was attracted to the phone for technical reasons (modular design, Linux compatibility, longevity etc) but I have now become more interested in the fair trade movement and will endeavour to make more ethical purchases in other areas of my life.

Hello, how did you add the French keyboard? Many thanks!
Now with root and CPU governor set to “performance” 2265 MHz, I/O “deadline”, charged and not charging, flight mode :
global 48932
3D 4039
UX 19756
CPU 20028
RAM 4569
It looks better

Other than the already much discussed sound and camera-issues, I am quite happy with my phone.
There is however one thing that bugs me a lot. I am not sure if It could be a separate entry in the feature request topic or that I am simply missing something that can easily be solved.
I don’t understand why there is not more integration between the contacts, telephone, and messaging apps. When I call somebody and this person doesn’t pick up the phone, I will want to write this person a message (Telegram, SMS). This can only be done when I close the telephone app, use the quicklauncher, open the messaging app, search for the appropriate person and write him/her a message.
A much more obvious (and especially much quicker) option would be to pick the messaging-button from the screen that is presented to me when I hang up the phone.
ince it happens regularly that I cannot reach somebody, it is a a regular source of annoyment that I remember having no problems with with my old Andriod 4.2.1 Samsung phone. Does anybody have a solution?
You can also choose to send a text message right from the telephone app.
I have by default the view with quick dialing. On each contact shown there are three points in the top right corner, if you click that, you can also send emails or text messages.
Also in the telephone app you can choose the contact list from where you also can access other option to communicate with your contacts, such as emails or text messages.
