Hi, since the September OTA for the FP3 came out about a month ago , I was just curious if there have been any sightings of an OS update containing Googles Android security patches for October? Best wishes, Thomas

Hi, When I had an email exchange with Support on the subject in January, they didn’t seem to realise there was a problem. They obviously thought the problem was on my side and, despite me telling them the contrary, assumed I’d bought my FP2 through Orange (France) and that I should contact them fo…

I got to know that it does not have anything to do with the Vodafone network as previously said by people, but it has to do with the capabilities stated by Fairphone and the OS as delivered by them: The Fairphone OS does not ship the VoLTE and VoWiFi capabilities as stated in the Fairphone shop (see…

This explanation does not make sense to me, since updates are being delivered OTA instantaneously (including VoLTE and VoWiFi AFAIK) once you insert a non-Vodafone SIM card and Vodafone does by no means block them after re-inserting theirs.

I don’t see a problem for carrier-specific updates even when stored on Google or delivered via OTA or using another SIM than Vodafone for update. The problem is: Does the result work for the functions in question on the vendor-specific network? Please refer again to the before linked article from Fa…

Thanks for letting us know! As I need to change my SIM to get the update, it’s useful to know when I need to do that :slight_smile: Just installing now… (and hooray for the notification LED!)

Not “Vodafone decided”, but there seem to have happened a “misconception” in the process between Fairphone and Vodafone. Maybe due to Corona? I don’t know. Something didn’t work out in the agreed concept between the two companies. Will become better in the future, as both work hard for.

Just installed A.0118 and cheering about the notification LED finally being back again, yeah! How did I get it so quickly despite my Vodafone SIM card? Well, my old expired SIM from Lao Telecom helped out again, with it the update installed immediately. My trick is that I have now permanently insta…

Has anybody received the latest security update yet?
