Hi. I started using my FP6 a few days ago from a Oneplus phone so I’m new to FP products. I got a notification about the firmware update, mentioning the June security patch among other things and let the device do its things to update. However, after rebooting, I’m still on the older firmware, May security patch. The update section in settings does NOT show any update available now. I’m wondering what is going on here and if there’s any issue with my device. Thanks

Can you define awful and in which usecase and with which soundrecorder? I use the Fossify recorder and it seem to use the mic at the top instead of at the bottom.

Sounds recorder uses the mic at the bottom, I tested that. The sound is just very muffled and you can’t understand everything. It sounds a bit like the sound has gone through a barrel.

Worked fine here. You can change the quality in the preferences. But the default seemed reasonable good to me. FYI I used the default shipped sound recorder from FP.

Which recorder the stock one? So yes this uses the bottom mic as expected and I didnt find it very awful and rather normal. However at least some third party do not use the bottom mic, which makes the sound vol very low.

Hi there,
Thanks for the update, the Bluetooth not disconnecting bug seems resolved for me.

However, If I’m correct, I noticed that one of the photo mode is not showing anymore in the default photo app. I can’t recall the exact name but the mode was to take photos (not videos) for fast moving scenes. I’m pretty sure I used it once to try with my dog before the update, but can’t find it anymore now. Don’t know if it’s related to the update.

Can anyone confirm ?

yes the stock one
Interestingly enough, if I turn on custom settings (but don’t change anything) it sounds ok

Weeeelllll, it seems Vodafone DE did not only have a problem with the over-the-air rollout of software updates for the FP3. Now that I have an FP6, I have the same problem.

I invested too much time into the FP3 rollout already. Does anyone have an internal connection to Vodafone, DE or otherwise? I would appreciate if I did not have to spend another dozen or so hours of my diminishing lifetime in the Vodafone waiting line listening to their inane muzak.

Thanks a lot!

Hello,
My FP6 is having trouble playing videos smoothly. Is it a known problem?

Can you share the video and how you play it?
