Software Update: Android 11 for Fairphone 3 and 3+

It’s an in-place upgrade to a new major OS version. It’s nice to see it working out well for users, but nobody can guarantee this.
If it was me, i would (in the following order until something succeeds, hopefully) …

  • Turn off the phone (not just a reboot, real shutdown), then turn it on again
  • Reseat the SIM card while the phone is turned off (can’t hurt)
  • Network reset (search the Settings for “reset” and go with “Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth” or similar)
  • Factory reset (search the Settings for “reset”, will delete user data as well as Apps installed by the user and their data)
  • OS install from scratch
