Yes - you should upgrade. U are also not getting any security updates anymore on lineage 17.x.

I know, but I have to take time to backup and play with adb.
I didn’t know if the 18.1 was stable on FP2, but now, I guess yes (you don’t seem the only one to have this version on your phone ^^ )… So, I will come back on few days to give a feedback…
Even if he was the only one at some point … he’s the LineageOS maintainer for the Fairphone 2, so his recommendations should carry some weight, if in doubt 
.

Ah ah!!! It seems the occasion to thank you @chrmhoffmann and all LineageOS contributors! Really thank you to give me an Android OS without Google during the (about) 5 last years (the FP2 1 year ago only), and that on your free time! <3
So, I promise, I will upgrade my FP2 
! … and stop to talk, I spoil the thread :-/
I don’t know if that can help…
- I just have the issue, and the http(s) connections (firefox, nextcloud) failed, but XMPP worked (conversations) and I don’t have mail warnings (smtp/imap).
- After playing with airplane mode off/on, mobile data off/on, and wifi off/on, that works. In next cases, I will try one by one actions and see what is the good one…
Well, there will be no fix for 17.1 anymore, so if you need some help in the future, there’s only one way forward.

I’m following with interest as the same thing has been happening to me; I have to reboot to regain access to 4G. Also at present my FP2 cannot connect to my home or office WiFi; it says ‘Failed to Connect’ and even ‘Failed to Save Network’ (even though it has previously been saved. Finally, and I do not know if this is related, I find when using phone as a hotspot, often the connection drops even though the phone may show 4G is still available. Hopefully the next upgrade can fix it…
My phone has recently started performing better. Gabriel on the bugtracker suggested the problem related to the mobile operator which made me think of the Google app ‘Carrier Services’ which I believe relates to the mobile operator service. I checked my phone and ‘Carrier Services’ update 3 days ago which may explain the improvement.
Hi Ingolf,
yes, it is very similar. To be clear: I didn’t had system crashes, only data-connection crashes.
Reading the other experiences, I can’t hope for a better performance after upgrade to LOS 18.1.
Best Regards,
peace
