Hello Everyone
It is this jolly time of the year to ask for a badge.
Here you can get one for your FP3 (if it’s still in use 
)
If your device is younger, but older than 3, you can look through the forum to find a relevant thread and claim your badge.
Enjoy 
Thanks for the reminder and topic, it is this time of year indeed.
Now 6 years, still daily driver, still /e/OS.
Happy birthday to my Fairphone 3! It turned 6 on November 6th 
.
A month ago, the screen went black… but nothing a screwdriver reinstalling the screen module couldn’t fix.
It still has its original battery (and all original modules), and it still responds smoothly enough for my day-to-day use 
Happy Birthday:)
now you need to change your profile description 
My FP3 turned 6 on 20th November. I installed a replacement battery a few months back but, apart from that, it’s the same as when I got it.
My FP3 was first used in November 2019 Happy Birthday!
It’s kinda on its last legs from a performance POV with regular lockups, especially after rebooting or when flipping between battery saver, normal and charging modes but it’s still plodding on. This helped a lot though: Fairphone 3 Poor performance, fixed!
On second battery and I’ve recently started having to charge it again in the evenings so I probably need a new one soon. (The previous one ballooned eventually!)
Hang in there little phone! 
also still on FP3 
now with Android15, and as happy as on day one.
updates: always went smoothly.
battery replacement: yes.
screen replacement: yes, once.
bottom module replacement: not yet (but have one in my “FP basket”, just in case).
camera: not that great, but… 
no plans to replace it anytime soon (unless FP comes up with a smaller phone in the future)
Apologies, but could you please specify the starting date of your FP3? As I can see, you have been on this forum much longer than (humbly) me, so I might be missing the data.
hi meaghan, no apologies, please
I got my FP3 at the end of 2019, but I did not keep record of the exact date. and yes, I had the FP1 and later FP2 earlier. actually I had 2 FP1, which I gave away to friends who wantes to test FairPhone - my incentive to buy a FP2. this oldie is still functional but the battery is poor and I didn’t check for security updates since, hm, 2021.
wish you a good - and longlasting - experience with your FP! cheers, christoph
