Hello, I cannot use Live View on my new FP6, the button is greyed out. I did some research and discovered that you need to have Google Play Services for AR installer, in order for Live View to work. And, sure enough, that app is not on my phone. But what’s worse, when I tried to look for it on t…

AR was touched here. Please ask Fairphone directly. [image] Fairphone (generation 6) launched 25 June The Industry ARCore support has been a discussion for all FPs so far and for the FP3…

Thanks, I saw that post, but that was FP3! Do you mean that even the brand new, just launched FP6 will never support AR?!? This is a serious problem for me.

Yes but see discussion above the post I linked. No FP had ARCore support so far, therefore better ask Fairphone when you rely on that.

I did ask. Their first answers were all about restarting the device, checking authorisations in Google Maps, and so on… Clearly, they had no idea about the real issue here… I’m not a technical person, I don’t know whether this problem can be solved with software updates (seems like the answer is n…

I dont know how live view works or if this needs ARCore enabled/supported. i’m 100% sure there will not be any new module to fix this. As said I dont know what live view is or how it works, however I walk through cities without that, so it might be rare use case and with this will maybe not get a l…

Indeed, quite shocking. One wonders who Fairphone designs their phones for. Seems to be an incredibly narrowly defined user group. If all the needed technology is present in the phone, what would it cost them to enable this?

I started my cool off return because of the usb 2.0 port which bugs me more than i expected, and now realized that the phone does not support arcore either. What started as a great phone experience ended in a terrible multi purpose device experience. Everything past basic phone use is leaving a sou…

I just tried to use the ToF sensor of the Fairphone 6 to build a point cloud app for it. But it was by the life of it not possible to access data from that sensor. I would be very happy if that changes with a firmware update. E.g. please include goolge play ar core.

Sounds like a request to the Fairphone support as this is a user forum where only from time to time some Fairphone staff looks into.
