Out of pure curiousity: Does this only mean that you cannot transfer data both ways simultaneously, or does it mean that it only ever works in one direction, i.e. always just from phone to computer or always just from computer to phone?

No, it means the connector has to be in one orientation for any data transfer to work, but then it of course works both ways.

Hey Leo, I can only second the post of Lordofmist: If there will be the slight chance in the future, to purchase one of your bottom modules, I would be super excited to get one. Thank you for your tremendous work and effort.

I am also still interested in any leftovers. I noticed this thread/forum too late

I got my module and case now. It works wonderfully!!! And the feel is good, comfortable, wonderful grunge look. The UBS-C is really an improvement. I absolutely love my “FP2 2.0”

These 20 packages (with 27 modules) get shipped out today. And with that all packages to german customers are out. I still have a lot left, I will keep you updated.
The user schuetzin also did a small instruction how she transfered the speaker and vibration motor, somewhat barbaric but she was able to do it without torx screwdrivers.

I would like to sign up for any bottom modules you’ll sell in the future.
Thanks for all your effort!

Hello Leo, the module arrived today and everything fits and works. Thank you very much for all the work. You saved the life of my FP2.
Now you just have to tell me how I can compensate you for the effort and where the compensation should go

Hi Leo,
I’m interested in a module as well as a case, whenever you are making them.
Best regards and thanks for the work =)

Hi mxw and welcome to the community
I hope you are aware that’s a bit presumptuous and maybe a big ask. 
What is wrong with the bottom module, have you considered a repair?

Hi, thank you amoun.
I am indeed new to the community. I have been going through two used bottom modules quite quickly, so I thought I’d give these a shot. What kind of people is this thread for?
If my order is presumptous, I am of course willing to take it back.
What kind of repair would you suggest instead? Use Fairphone’s service to send in my device? Or try repairing the bottom module myself?

This is for people who want to get a hold of a replacement part, even though FP ran out of them and are willing to put in some work (You need to assemble parts yourself, but it is doable).
Repair is always much better than recycling, so I suggest repairing your module or possibly waiting till the end and maybe getting a module that is left over from the preorders.

There’s nothing to take back, i was saying it’s presumptuous to think Leo will want to make another batch.

Same for me. My microfone now works again, that has been really annoying the last weeks and made me think about buying a new phone. Putting in the loudspeaker and vibrator was a bit of a challenge as there are different layers of gum or foil of which I was not sure what to leave and what to take with. In the end I have taken all layers.
With the replacement in place for an hour or so I can say that charging the phone works. Data transfer only if the plug is in one direction. As I had read about this in the thread that is no problem and the same situation as with the standard module. With the grey backcasing the phone look like a maker thing which is in a way quite nice.
I’m happy that the repair was possible and I’m astonished about this quality work from the community. Thank you!

Hey
Are there any available? If so, i’d like 1 bottom module and 1 case please
Thanks
Yes, I know it was barbaric, but I wanted a phone! 
Some issues developed with the case: the phone dropped a few times and the case got brittle. That wsa in te context, that the loudspeaker was very low in volume and sometimes made scratchy sounds. I glued the case, and while letting it dry I also resorted to the old case. Just carved out the slot for the USB-C with a cutter, which was quite easy to do. So the old case presses the loudspeaker better into its bed, and now the sound is as good as it used to be. But I do admire the good fit of the new cases.

29 shipments going out tomorrow, it took me a while but now I am so far. If you have ordered one and have no or just one case and are in the EU, check your mailbox, it may arrive this week (but not everyone is served with this batch)

Just received one in France. Thanks!
I’ve installed it, and sound, vibrator, and microphone all work, but not power charging. Is there a way I can test the module to see where the issue is?

Try flipping the connector, due to a PCB defect that wasn’t my fault, charging only works in one orientation.
