Dear Community, Tonight, March 30, 2026, we will start to roll out a software update for the Fairphone 4. This will be a staged rollout, so you may not receive it right away. No matter what software version your FP4 is on at the moment, this update should be available for everyone, including Oran…

[image] Tom_Gilson: Now getting in to find a person at Proximus who is in charge of this…. That’s the difficult part Mission impossible I’d guess… :laughing: But what would be easier to do is to borrow a SIM (different provider!) from some family member/friend/colleague. If your SIM is an e…

Hello, Thx. I tried with the sim card (Orange) from my wife. And the update works. I’m going tomorrow to Proximus for a new sim card

It has nothing to do with your SIM card, it is Proximus as your provider blocking the update for whatever reason. When you used the Orange card of your wife, the phone dropped configuration from Proximus and since Orange has no block, you were able to get the update.

Ok thx. So maybe i have to change to Orange

I talked to ja mobil / congstar and they say they don’t block any updates. They also say that I should try removing the SIM card and check for updates via wifi only.

Android 14 is here. Here's what's changed - FP5.UT20.B.041.20240624 Together with our partners, we test the software before its release, and in some instances where a software update might result in some problems for users on a specific network or in a specific country, we prefer to delay the so…

Do the providers even tell them? I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that they don’t (maybe they can find out by chasing each provider up individually, but that isn’t something I’d expect them, or anyone, to do routinely for every provider.)

Good question. I wonder if Fairphone is able to check this by themselves by simply querying the devices and comparing software versions against mobile network providers. This should produce reliable statistics. However I’m not sure if this kind of data is exposed.

I understand your approach. Yet I need to say that based on the previous discussion I do not expect this to happen. [image] F_Airlex: Otherwise users will get worried Just mentioning in order to align expectations.
