I have a fairphone 3 and from yesterday I suddently have no network… I have no data and I can’t place phone calls.
I did not do an update nor have droped the phone
I have tried the sim card in a different phone and it’s working. I have tried a different sim in the phone and it wasn’t working.
I have tried manually switching network but there’s no network available.
I have tried switching beetween available APN but no luck
I have tried reseting the networks, wifi and bluetooth, no change
I was guessing there’s something wrong with the part of the phone that does the reception but I’m no expert. I have seen there’s a reception element in the top module, maybe it’s worth switching with a new one then?
"maybe it’s worth switching to a new one then? " maybe. Have you got a replacement module from the farephone website? I’ve known they have stopped making parts for the device. Maybe they still might have a replacement part. Otherwise a donor phone might be needed to get the part. That’s my suggestion. You can also see if anyone has a phone they are selling in one of the fourms here. You can also sell yours for parts.
They havent officially stopped making/having parts for the FP3. Still this moght not be a self repairable module its the core module containing the SIM Slots which costs almost the same as a new phone.
Thanks for your reply, I’ve tried switching to sim slot 2 but no luck.
I’ve checked the parts and the core module doesn’t seem to be available to buy as part. Top and bottom moduls are still available but I haven’t identified yet which module is concerned in my case.
Do you knwow where is the antenna located on the fairphone 3? For some reason I can’t find this information online.
Otherwise I’ll have to ask an angel ^^
Thanks
Nico
