Please report any (new) issues through the public bugtracker and upvote existing issues if you are affected. As usual, please specify the steps to reproduce, and provide as many details as possible.
To be honest, Fairphone Open without sources isn’t really Open… I really hope that you will publish them soon - especially with not publishing the sources for the kernel, it’s a clear violation of the GPL license the Linux kernel is under.
Thanks not no thanks, missed opportunity again bugtracker #55 was not resolved with this update. While this Dual SIM disabling feature is a very important feature for the users of FP2 there continue to be a large amount of unhappy customers that are forced to use a non supported Android 6 version.
Many thanks to the team for their ongoing massive efforts.
@pyb
I believe this was by far the hardest nut to crack. Good that they succeeded.
@z3ntu
Yes, yes and of course yes - you are right and I agree. But the team had to crack a few quite solid nuts in the past few months. The team needs some cooling down and maybe a bit more time 4 cleaning up the code before publishing.
But I am most sure it will provide the code just as is if one put pressure on it.
@pettet
Yes I agree. Another missing feature holding me back from updating. Anyway the hardest nut seems to be cracked, a proper shutdown process without workaround. No luck this time for the dual-sim switches, maybe next time. But hey - a higher security level after all, that’s more than other phone owners can ask for.
QKSms stopped working after the update. Opening the app causes a very short flashing up of QKSms but it’s shutting down right away. Worked fine some minutes before the update. Any ideas?
Updating (upgrading) may generally be possible although some installed apps may not be compatible to the new OS.
But as I see it there is no proper pre-check done prior to an OS upgrade to sort out incompatible apps installed .
So the new OS begins it’s job not bothering any further about app compatibility. One may be lucky nearly having no troubles with incompatible apps while another may suffer from crashing, freezing apps or an unstable device.
Rebooting generally after any update could help and/or clearing the main cache (somewhere in settings->storage->cache).
If not, a more detailed investigation, maybe app related, should be done if there is one or more specific troublesome app known. Read about the compatibility level which may be provided in the store. Perhaps an alternative has to be found.
Also experienced battery drain after updating to 19.02.1 from 18.10.0.
Additionally the Play Store App wouldn’t open.
And (somewhat annoying actually) TWRP was downgraded to 3.1.1.
Manually restoring Google Play Store/Services apps via Titanium Backup did not work.
–> Play Store is working again.
–> Battery usage seems to be back to normal.
–> Phone doesn’t get hot anymore.
Downside is that I had to fix permissions for most apps manually.
I’m a lucky one as this update through the updater went smoothly yet again.
I have the original FP2 with original cam modules and never experienced the shutdown issue.
As for the battery I have the feeling it now last longer actually.
Isn’t possible I now know to go back to the previous version.
The phone need to be charged a minimum of 50% and mine won’t charge further then 40% since the update I did yesterday.
So what now?
Buy a different phone? I had almost none problems with my FP1. After I and my wife both have a FP2 the problems start.
I think after this update I quit the FP2. It is not a reliable phone I know now. To bad because I like the idea
I updated to the latest version of the Open OS yesterday (19.02.1).
Since then, my FP2 runs really hot at the back and the battery only lasts
about an hour so. What´s more, text messages are not sent out.
I have a big exhibition this weekend and need the phone to work realiably,
like before. Please help.
Thank you very much FP Team for the effort though!
