Just received my FP3! And look what I have found in the box: earplugs! Surprising! Ordered it with Sosh in France… Is it a law requirement? Even if the cable looks fairphonish (compared to the USB cable FP sells), they don’t really seem to be modular though… Oh, and sadly, no metallic piece to …

[image] BertG: SOSH’s website small print indicates that the phone comes with earphones (“Kit Oreillette Stéréo”) I can confirm that in France earphones are mandatory with every new mobile phone. The regulation was introduced in 2003 to help reduce brain exposure to the radiation emitted by m…

I confirm it too, and notice that the FP2 was delivered without earphones (it never struck me before, but it was my 1st phone delivered without earphones). Hence, we have plenty of useless cheap earphones in France, and they can be used to receive the radio. Thinking the opposite way, the FP2 was d…

[image] siltaar: Thinking the opposite way, the FP2 was delivered in such a condition that the radio was unusable… does that look logical ? Yes it does, as they - and obviously rightfully so - suspected (almost) everyone to have headphones at home already. And if one does not, it’s still bet…

Hi, I agree that the FP3 is a big step in the right direction, especially now the battery life is really OK. Regarding the flashlight, on my FP3 it works when HDR mode is switched off with the original photo app .

Not for me, even with HDR off and flash on…

Nice to heare about the battery life of FP3 and that is has been improved obviously. Maybe you can give your first findings in this new thread about battery life of FP3 ? Cheers, Robert

I hope my Fairphone 3 arrives soon. Ordered at Mobilcom Debitel on 6 September

I could finally make the flash work fine with the Google camera app, it seems it just remains on auto mode in classic Camera mode even if I want to force it… BTW any idea on how to force it in video recording? There is nothing except the settings wheel appearing on the screen to activate the flash…

Did not find how to do it. Tried quickly to first activate the flashlight and go in video mode but it does not work…

I agree with your experience, for you, and for others some things I changed/added/searched: [image] Antoine: Google is even more present, I don’t see how to remove it on the home screen (I hope there will be a Google-Free version coming), the left page is full of Google news/weather and time-co…
