I soft-rebooted, as XPrivacy said I should
(probably due to the movement of apps).
I now have plenty of space on all partitions. However, gapps still refuses to DL and install.
My next step would be to try to unify the partitions using the FP updater. However, if anyone could provide a different angle to tackle this useless error message, I would be delighted.
you need to reflash the 1.6 update (you can use the software app) to get rid of the 1004 error. That’s how I got rid of my problem of not being able to download gapps with this exact error message… Stupid, but it works.
I also upgraded from 1.3 with the Fairphone Uploader and now I’d like to upgrade to the unified storage partition as described here, because for some reasons I can’t update my apps anymore (“There is insufficient space on the device”), even there are 269MB of internal storage and around 12GB of phone storage free. I can’t even update an app with less than 10MB, so where the phone needs some space?
So when trying the storage updater, I’m stuck at step 3. I can neither press “Fairphone OS” nor “Stock Android”, there just doesn’t happen anything. Only “More info” can be pressed, which shows me the Android version of 4.2.2. Does anybody else have this problem?
@Robert_P Keep tapping on the install-button. i quit the app, opened it again, rebooted the phone, put it on held, set the phone to sleep to wake it up again to get it to understand and finally it did.
Hey there. I am just now dicovering problems with my update, as app-updates are lining up, because of insufficient space. I tried to work my way through the forum and discovered the unified partition thing, but there I got into trouble, for it is not working as decribed. I get as far as step 2, and step 3 is not working on my device. I can push the FairphoneOS-button as much as I like, there is simply no reaction.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!
Well 1.6 so far: I haven’t noticed anything different except battery life is now a complete mess.
Previously I could get close to 3 days, with the weird 1 day of 14%, but now it drops to 1% within about 30 hours. Interestingly it’s been on 1% now for about 11 hours, so it seems like the 14% issue is now a 1%. Unfortunately that’s even more annoying as I won’t have a 13% buffer when I finally see the plateau finish, it will just die. I’ll have to start charging it in about 4 or 5 hours if it doesn’t run out.
I pressed “install new version”, nothing happened as others have mentioned, also reboot didn’t help. Then I pressed the button like ten times in a row, now the download starts!
Hi, I finally downloaded the update and it starts normally until it reaches the end of the download, then a short message appears “file downloaded invalid”. After that I’m back at the fair phone updater home screen. I did not read anyone else mentioning this issue. Do you have a solution? I use a Fairphone 2nd generation with the 1.5 currently working. I have tried at least 5 times to install it. I tried to turn it off then on before the download.
Thank you for your help.
After searching for a month or so, tried some repair Apps, visited numerous forums, but I still haven’t found a working solution. Now more and more Apps require updating, which needs GPlayStore, which doesn’t work. So I’m getting more and more unhappy. Google support points to the manufacturer of the device, so I’m turning back to Fairphone support: any suggestions left?
After Update to Cherry
Google Play Store App:
At first there was a malfunction stating connection problems.
By now the Icon on desktop screen, when pushed, states: App isn’t installed.
I tried to reinstall Play Store over browser. I didn’t manage. What Tod do??? Please advise.
Hi Joe
Will there be a feedback re. my issues from Fairphone tec-department? That’s kind of why I posted my worries on this blog or is there a direct channel I should use?
Best regards.
@Sevin_Keiler - I’ve moved your comments into a different topic about the cherry update. You will probably find your answers in here about reinstalling the app store, but you should also check out this article here and here
Hi there! So finally I researched into the FP and need to update for the unified memory… and it turns out that I never properly fetched an update! I’m at 1.1 and the Fairphone updater says 1.6 is available, but when I click on “Install new Version” it doesn’t do anything. I get another notification that there is an update avaiable, and then it leads me to the same update info screen.
Is the 1.1 updater working properly? How can I update my FP? Thanks
Hi Rick!
I still have this problem. I have 279 megabytes free internal memory, a really fast Wi-Fi, and battery loaded. I have followed the instructions but nothing helps. Installation will not start, whatever I do. JusSi
Hey Gregariousf,
did you try to press the “Download/Instal” button very often and fast?
Just try to tap as fast and often you can, until anything starts to download …
It is a known bug of this updater, that this soft-button is very in-responsive.
In Version 1.6 there is a updated updater-App.
Please report back, if it is working now! Cheers, Robert
