Installed it today. Didn’t notice anything different (except for the security date), so is working just fine

Updated with no problems so far.

Since the update I have frequent random reboots… I use my phone with a Test DPC to separate work and personal data.
Seems to be a non correlated coincidence with my battery having failed. I switched to the one of my other fp3 and had no reboots since 24 h.

I am in Belgium, and we are still on version 6.A.031.2 with security update from October 5, 2024.
Can you push the latest update to us as well?
Thanks
It has been established here that mobile network providers play a role in this process as they reserve the right to check updates themselves for compatibility before they allow them to be rolled out onto devices on their networks. Belgian provider Proximus for instance got some attention in this regard lately … Search results for 'proximus order:latest' - Fairphone Community Forum
What’s your provider?

thank you! My provider is indeed Proximus.
Is there any workaround to force downloading the updates?
You can try to use a different SIM card of a provider not blocking the update. But that might lead to problems if your provider is not just lazy but holding back the update on purpose, because it has issues.

My provider is KPN-NL and my FP3+ is also stuck on version 6.A.031.2 from October 2024.
So the issue is not on Proximus alone…
