My FP1: four years and counting!

Have you seen this yet:

not yet but thank you for sharing. As far as I can understand this could be a solution, right? Sorry for minor techie knowledge

Sorry no, I just checked and the DuckDuckGo browser needs Android 5.0 or higher. This is only 4.4.4.
Have you tried a different browser, like Fennec F-Droid?

I’ll definitely check this one. Thanks!

Likely that’s because TLS1.0 is deprecated, using Android 4.4 will solve that. And using another browser often helps as well, as suggested.

I’ve a FP1, 2nd batch, from August 2014. On the second battery and crack in screen near the top Rt but other than being rather slow, it still works fine.
Trying to source a battery for my wife’s FP1 bought at the same time (but used a lot less than mine). So that’s 4 years 4 months.

A post was merged into an existing topic: :gb: :de: Magnetic USB cable recommended to avoid socket probs

Oh no :cry:
My FP1U is starting to have problems with USB connector and charging… :frowning:

Don’t worry, your fellow Austrian Fairphoners have you covered! :wink:

My FP1 (second batch) is still running about 20 hours on a fully charged battery, and it’s the original battery. However, I did just buy a FP2 because of the huge discount of 24% while I always said I would use up my FP1. I found an excuse: I am going to install UbuntuPhone on my FP1… :wink:
Thanks FP for starting the movement, I’ve just jumped on the wagon number 2!

I want to see that! :smiley: You are surely talking about FP2, right? :smirk:

@anon83519835 Once you find the time, I would ask you to please create a “5 years of Fairphone 1” title for users to “wear” in their profile. The first FP1s arrived at their buyers from the end of christmas 2013, so an increasing number of us will qualify for it over the course of this year. :slight_smile:

Ahh you’re right, I was too hard trying to find an excuse to buy a FP2 before my FP1 was at its end of life…

Please make it also available as a title (that you can choose at https://forum.fairphone.com/u/username/preferences/account)

3 posts were split to a new topic: My FP2: 3 years and counting

it is available as title. I turned it on

OK, I take it from Paula’s comment here that the title can only be set once the badge is granted (I’m not due for another six months :angel: ). Will proudly set it once the day arrives (23 July :slight_smile: ).
