Continuing the discussion from A (incomplete) list of bugs and issues with Fairbuds:
To mention that this is without current firmware v5.6
about the firmware: I would love to update the firmware, but there is no app available on iOS to update and prior updates of the firmware bricked the Fairbuds, so maybe it is understandable that this is on the firmware that came with the fairbuds upon launch.
Yes I know and I guess you also know why, as its discussed in the respective topic here in the forum in detail and you linked this in your list.
Added this remark, as it might be that the withdrawn update will fix many issues when its available also for iOS again.

The IOS App was approved by Apple and will soon be available for download. This was posted 1 hour ago by a Fairphone Product Team member in another thread. So, the wait will soon be over

I wrote a lengthy post about how the connection doesn’t work and then it turns out, the app only can see the fairbuds if they are out of the case. which I would not have expected, given that most devices want to be cradled as much as possible when they’re updating their firmware. It also doesn’t say it in the text up front, just that i should put them in pairing mode (which only works when they are in the case).
Firmware update is in progress with the fairbuds laying raw on the table. Let’s hope for the best.
EDIT: It took a could of tries of reconnecting them to the app, but now they seem to not be bricked and on the most recent software version. The audio is still out of sync with the video.
I’m having this issue as well. My commute with an e-bike takes approx. 30mins. Especially on higher speeds (20-25 km/h). My left bud irregularly (but quite often) disconnects and syncs again after few seconds. Sometimes the bud turns off completely and I have to turn it on again manually.
Is there a solution for that issue or is it at least known? Is this problem related to the relative short connection distance for bluetooth (for me its way less then 10m, especially with walls inbetween).
Is there any news on this? I’ve had my fairbuds since valentines and still in the DOA period, if fairphone are aware and are/are still working on a firmware update, I would like to know
You better ask them directly and def via online chat, else the answer will come too late
Yeah I have been, Im in the process of RMA’ing my Fairbuds XL, and they don’t seem to want to do both at the same time
Edit: Im attempting to RMA the fairbuds earbuds for a different reason anyway, but if this issue is unit wide, then I’ll try to get money back over recieving a new pair
