Thank you very much :blush: :folded_hands: got it right at 18:00 :six_o_clock:
@community is it the first time we have a security level few days before Google publishes it? :astonished_face: I am astonished! :star_struck: continue this way FP! :rocket:

This is the second time I was able to get an update directly on release day, thanks for that. All went well here.

Update found yesterday and installed this morning. No obvious problems so far, thank you,.

For some reason my FP4 didn’t auto-restart. I let it lie for a few minutes, then just pushed the button myself. Hadn’t experienced that particular phenomenon before.

But other than that, no issues. Are we actually back to a monthly cadence? Not too shabby, if so.

I’m 100% sure we had this maybe a handful of times over the last 10 years and all models except the FP1 (back then IIRC there was no monthly update cadence by Google at all).

I second that! :+1:

Let’s hope it’s the new normal… :smiley:

Yesterday I could manually start the update on my Fairphone 4 Youfone/KPN in the Netherlands.
It went smoothly.

solved issue here :confused:

similar to what @u_karpatow wrote, I tapped the “restart” button, but the phone only turned off and didn’t turn on again.

After some waiting, i pushed the power button → nothing.

repeat a few times. phone doesn’t turn on, regardless of how long i wait or how long i hold the power button.

i then tried connecting to a charger, wait, with charger still connected push power → stays off

remove charger and push power → stays off.

open phone remove battery, wait a bit, re-install battery, push power → phone finally turns on.

however, even on that boot, the bootup animations didn’t show. there was the usual bright-green on dark-green fairphone text, then a static vertical bright green line (like an upper case I from the fairphone logo), still no animation for uncomfortably long. and eventually the standard lock-screen unlock-sim screen appeared.

phone behaves normal since then, but i take it as reminder to check my backup status.

For me, after a day or so uptime:

  1. reboot “hangs”, must press start button long for several times to start the phone
  2. USB-connectivity drops, the phone ist not recognized by my Computer and no USB-options are shown.

After starting the phone, it works normally for a time.

I have this behavior since the buggy firmware version which bricked some phones.
