Hi everyone,
I use FPOpenOS and just got the notification via the FP Updater that I can update my FP2 to Android 9 (21.03.0-rel.2).
Just to make sure because the release version number is identical: Is this the Android 9 update for FPOpen (maybe as part of the beta program) or will this update somehow switch my FP2 to the “googeled” version?
Yes.
As with every upgrade to a new major Android version (at least), be sure to have a backup of all your important data.
No, it’s out of beta now …
No.

I got the update yesterday night, first the ‘new’ updater and about half an hour later a notification about Android 9. Went fast and smoothly, the FP2 was working hard for the update, it heated up a little bit, but after an hour or so everything went back to normal.
Everything works, at a first glance, let’s see how it’s going on.

Same with me! My own FP2 (encrypted) updated quickly and smoothly, without heating. But the one of my wife forced us to do a complete reset, apparently due to the encryption. Fortunately we had copies of the most important data like contacts and calendar. And she ueses only a few app so it was newly setted up again in a little hour or so

Does that mean every FP2 should get offered an update to Android 9?
My Fairphone Updater (1.39.17) says:
Your current operating system version
Fairphone OS 19.11.2
Your operating system is up-to-date
Please check if the Play Store allows you to update your Fairphone Updater to version 1.50.2. Once that has been done, you should get offered the operating system upgrade to Android 9 (Fairphone OS 21.03.0-rel.2), too.

No. The Play Store doesn’t allow me to update Fairphone 2 Updater. It says:
This app isn’t compatible with your device anymore. Contact the developers for more info.
You can try to install version 1.50.1 manually and afterwards see if the Play Store then allows the Updater to be updated to version 1.50.2.

Thanks. It seems like the Play Store doesn’t allow updates for apps which are not installed from the Play Store but I found a way to download 1.50.2.

I received my update yesterday. Thank you!
One small bug though: It shows under apps and notifications that I have one app with notifications turned off. Unfortunately Android doesn’t show which one. But I scrolled through all of them and there is no app with muted notifications.
I guess it is a general bug?

Just had mine, too. How many of us got it right at the last moment, when FP declared the roll-out complete? 
anyway, there now, some exploring to do when it’s settled down!

Hi there!
Everything went smoothly with my update, thank you so much!!! Some apps seemed to be running slower than usual in the beginning, but now after some days it’s back to normal. A banking pin number was lost during the process, strangely, but I could reset it. So - no big issues.
FP2 running for 5 years now. Great.

Great, then the link to the Updater App APK could be updated to 1.50.2 here (it’s still 1.50.1 currently) …
… and the OS install file could be updated to Android 9 here (it’s still 19.11.2 currently) …

Does anyone have experience with a encrypted phone and the update to Android 9?
I only get my company emails and calendar via Microsoft “Unternehmensportal” which needs an encrypted phone. Do I have to decrypt the phone before?
