Update went well
Update available but failed to download or install
Update was pretty smooth. I managed to update the Google Play system as well (the phone asked for the restart but still the date has not changed - 1/11/2025) and afterwards was a bit laggy for a few seconds.
Noticed a small issue. Where the top bar displays the date, now instead of “Jan” it says “M01”. Personally I find this pretty funny but I’d love to know if anyone else has noticed. I’m in the UK.
Sad to see that still happening, I have reported this with another bug (network operator name not hideable, solved) because I thought it was related (same position)
Also it’s difficult to reproduce in a controlled way
I’m not sure if it related to the update or coincidence: For a few days now, often when trying to unlock via unlock button, I accidently open the camera (like with a long-press double-press). It feels like the amount of time that is long enough the sensitivity for a double-tab to open the camera instead of waking up the phone got a lot shorter snappier. Anyone else with the same observation? Or rather my phone falling apart?
Happens at least 3, 4 times a day now while it barely ever did so before last week
Edited to correct from long-press to double-press, thanks @mde
I have no specific FP5 experience, but in all cases I encountered so far, it is a double-press rather than a long-press that opens the camera. Is it possible that you double-press by accident when touching the sensor?
True that! My bad. Then the phone must recognize a double-press instead of a regular press for a week now when trying to click it only once. I don’t think I click it any different than the 1,5 years before where I did not encounter it
Sill not available in France on the Bouygues Telecom network, and the previous update is still not available at all, while the previous ones were offered very quickly.
Is there any simple way to bypass the provider block?
As I just said on the December update thread, I finally was offered the February update yesterday evening, right after I switched my launcher back to Quickstep (it may be unrelated, I don’t know).
