I know - I have linked the official Fairphone statement on this further up this thread.
Another funny thing happened tomeyesterday : I restarted my FP3 after doing some stuff with the micro sd card and it automatically started to download all the Orange apps, which I of course immediately uninstalled.
It really does look like Orangeās servers are configured to consider all FP3s as purchased through them and to try to push all their bloatware on them. I never had that with my FP2, even though they also sold it on their online shop. Maybe because I had Lineage since the first portā¦
Makes me kind of impatient for a Lineage port on FP3. I hate it when third parties go nosing around in my stuff!
Even if you have an Orange SIM, there is no reason why an FP3 should contact Orangeās servers unless it has been preprogrammed to do so. The Google Play Store does not change if you change operators.
Itās not the Google Play Store that installs the Orange apps:
When an Orange France SIM card is inserted into the device, the App Center automatically installs for the main user*
[ā¦]
App Center will install the āOrange et Moiā app on the device automatically. This is a feature of the app itself and Fairphone is not responsible for the behavior and content of Orange applications.
So it means that itās the same with all Orange plans and itās not related to the update issue if I understand correctly.
I didnāt have that problem with my FP2, but again, I was running Lineage when I switched to that mobile operator which probably prevented Orange from pushing apps on my smartphone.
Hi,
Got a reply from support saying they were glad I could update my phone after all and that they would forward the issue internally.
In my answer I did raise the fact that, as Orange has about 40% of the french mobile operating market, a very significant amount of the FP3s sold on their website to french customers were probably not updatedā¦
And I wouldnāt count on the owners to feel concerned with the issueā¦ When I talk to my colleagues/friends/family about security updates, Lineage, privacyā¦etc, most of look look at me as if Iām from another planet!
Hi,
I have the same issue. I bought my FP3 from Sosh ( Orange).
I am pretty sure I updated my phone at least once. My Update is from the 5th of october.
Updating with no sim did not work. As I bought my from from an operator I is surely sim lockedā¦
It is a shameā¦
Hope that your info to the support will bring some movement and solve this issue.
Updated my company phone (Samsung) with orange as operator, no problem to get the latest update ( Nov 2019)
Fairphones are not simlocked.
hiiiijiisdfszfzsfzsedf !!!

perfectly right !
i have double sim

i switch data do free mobile
and here is the UPDATE !!!
youuuuuuhouuuuuuu
shame on orange
Hi,
The same for me. Inserted a sim card from Bouygues and the updating workedā¦
Hope orange will modify this. Might be a dreamer writing thisā¦
Same here, updating too!
The update has appeared for me too
Updating here, too. No staged rollout this time?
Hi,
I received too. Looks like it works now with Sosh ( orange) also/again!
Oh, it is staged. Aināt there for me yet.
Surprisingly, for me it worked on the second check for an update.
Anyone grabbed the URL for the OTA update?
