FP3 Software update: 8901-4.A.0021.0

Hi. Thanks a lot for your replies! So as I expected it is not worth it to change the module.

Regards

Michel

I updated yesterday evening.

At the moment nothing seems to have been broken which is quite a good result to me. :slight_smile:

One thing that always scares me is when I reboot the phone to complete the update and it doesn’t connect to the internet. I usually have to reboot twice or to play a bit with flight mode (enable it and then disable it) to have data connection working again.

This is a funny behavior that started some 3-4 updates ago and it’s till there.

Before updating I got a picture with my OpenCamera and then again the same picture after the update but didn’t notice any difference. I know this is not the right way to test a new feature but I didn’t feel like inventing a better test bench.

Ciao,
Max

Hi everyone,

I have not installed/bought the"new" camera modules for the FP3 and was wondering if the quality improved with the last update. Comparison pictures before did not convince me to make the purchase.

Does anyone have an update on this?

See above. Nobody so far has seen a difference, and even if there is one the image quality with the stock camera app is still very bad compared with the Google Camera based apps. Use one of these if you want better image quality, don’t bother with the new module.

Edit: Back in 2020 I posted a few pictures taken with the old module and a Google Camera based app here. IMHO it’s a far cry from the stock software, and almost hard to believe it’s the same hardware.

Both issues bother me, too. Sadly, I didn’t find any way to restore root again…

After installing the latest system update last night, the same “no mobile data for EE UK network” problem has returned.

As this refers to version 19.1 not 21 and has been solved [Solution] please delete the post here and add it to the current update topic, though I imagine the issue may be the same.

See you there :slight_smile:

Could you solved it by adding a new APN as before?

Moved your post to the current update topic.

A possible problem.

In response to a topic I can confirm the Fingerprint Test via the Service tests > Test Single does not work.

Apart from the text on the screenshot below there was a brief message the bottom of the screen that states Not installed

Screenshot_20230226-152420_1_1

Can someone check this please ?

Thanks

The fingerprint reader does work, it’s just the test that seems a problem

It seems to have resolved itself without adding a new APN this time :+1:

Anyone using Termux (or identical apps) for letting scripts run on the phone? Seems to be broken after the update.

By the way, with this new update the selfie camera of my FP3 (standard camera module) works again in applications like Nikita’s GCam mod :smile:

Can you describe the problems in more detail?
I am using termux (and tasker) for quite a bunch of things, and cannot confirm any problems with that update.

I am using Tasker without root and this work-around to start adb-wifi on (re)boot of my device:

It worked marvelous before the update, but not thereafter. I thought there might be an issue with termux, but I tested somewhat and find, there is an issue with adb-debugging over wifi. The phone simply does not pair with the wifi. If you have any suggestions, I’d be thankful for sharing.

I just have seen, you’re from Germany like me, we could switch to German, if you like.

This is specifically a Tasker issue is it, not a general can’t connect ADB via Wi-Fi ?

I tend to agree this more belongs in the Tasker/Termux section.

But to try helping a bit:

I am using about the same. Fun fact: I came across that one only after (!) the february update, and then mangled it into my T&T environment.

And it does work nicely - or at least seems so, telling from the few reboots since The enabling part is now embedded inside other stuff here, and thus modified for the purpose. But the pairing part I use is still as originally given.

For the versions I am using: Basically it’s all “current stock” Termux & Tasker here (i.e. NOT currently running any betas), only augmented with the latest Tasker Settings (v1.5.0.)

I solved it. The termux-packages got out-dated around the same point in time the update came. After changing the termux-repository and after updating the packages in termux, I re-installed the package “android-tools”, and that’s that.

Thanks for help.

Nope. Not a specific tasker issue. I could not connect to ADB via WiFi, because of an issue with termux.

I always manually update my FP3 using fastboot without any problems, but the time between an update being available through my provider (doesn’t work on rooted) and the download links being posted anywhere on the Fairphone website is getting longer and longer… any chance that this could be accelerated a bit? :wink: It’s not a huge bother but the notification is kind of annoying…
