👼 The Fairphone Angels Program (Local support by community members) - Offers and questions

[urs_lesse]

As widely known, this cannot be done in seven days, yes!

Hi there,

I’d like to propose myself as an Angel for the city of Freiburg, Germany. We are a very green city and the density of Fairphone users is surprisingly high

As for my personal experience, I’m a pretty heavy user of the Fairphone, so I think I know most of the little quirks. I don’t spend massive amounts of time in the Forum, but whenever my friends and colleagues have trouble with the phone, I’m the first person they ask

Thanks and cheers
Max

Great, thanks for proposing yourself! I’ll ask around, who will be your Guardian Angel and will guide you through the setup process.

Hallo @hnms
I can help you to set up the Angels in Freiburg. I’m the Angel from Stuttgart. (Baden-Württemberger vereint euch!!!)

[hnms]

Nice. Let’s do that over PN/e-mail?

Hi,

I’m living now in middle west of France, in Deux-Sèvre department. I’m active in the local Linux User Group (http://gebull.org) where I advocate Fairphone and managed to convince some people to switch to it, helping them with FP OpenSource OS and recently LineageOS. I propose myself for this program as it looks I’m already doing the job

Gebull association hold public meetings every thursdays evening (20h-22h) in Bressuire city.

That’s great! It’s time to connect with awesome people like yourself!

I’ll add you to the Fairphone Angels!

Hi, I would be happy for would-be users in Denmark to contact me (English / Danish / French) for help or information. I have been a FP2 user for over 2 years now and, after some problems earlier on, my phone is now quite stable. The battery life could be better - it seems that WiFi really drains the battery while it lasts somewhat longer if WiFi is off.

I have already repaired my phone (under guarantee with free replacement parts - microphone module - being received within very few days after registering a complaint.

Travelling in Africa at the moment, I’m very happy that the phone can handle dual SIM cards!

Hi @mjhdavies, thank you for offering yourself! I asked around, who will assist you and guide you through the setup process.

In the meanwhile: I’d like to have a city name from you, instead of the generic “Denmark”. Please have in mind that Fairphone Angels give local support.

Hey guys,

please unangel me. I sold my fairphone and I’m back on a friends Samsung Galaxy S2 (2011). It does everything I want from a smart phone. The fp is simply overpowered for me, I . As long as I get lineage os updates for the S2 and it does everything I need, I think it is the best using it until it dies, hopefully not in the near future ;-].

It was a pleasure

This is a pity! I hope you stay connected to the community!

Edit: I removed you from the @Angels group, but I saw that members can remove themselves, too. The Mailman subscription needs to be removed by you yourself or by your co-angels in Rhein-Ruhr (@amber, @duke1102).

Hey,
I’d like to join the FP Angels program I’m living in the Rhein/Main Region in Germany, located between Frankfurt and Darmstadt.
I am able to help with software problems (including installing LinageOS) or small hardware issues. Since I am a heavy Android user since Android 1.6 (HTC Tattoo ) I can solve most of the typical issues.
Best

[urs_lesse]

Great! The Rhein-Main area is one of the biggest “white spots” on the Fairphone Community Map so far. Now if only Berlin would get active, too …

[Stefan]

Great @manchot, I’ll add you to the Fairphone Angels immediately.

@mjhdavies As soon as you give us a location, I’ll be happy to install the first Denmark heaven.

[ModularKing]

I like to patisipate as the first Viking Angel from Denmark.

Don’t see any dot on the map, so I would love to make that mark.

Kindly, Aske.

[Stefan]

Great! As we are providing local community support, I’d need a more specific location (region or, better, city).

[ModularKing]

Oh yeah, I am located in Copenhagen, so it is actually a quite good location.

[Stefan]

Wohoo, that’s perfect!

Hi,
I’m interested in supporting people nearby, if they have questions about Fairphone. I’m located in Gotha, middle Germany. It seems there are no retailers in this area. So if someone is interested in get hands on a Fairphone before buying, I have one.

I have as well some experience in repairing broken mobile phones.

Hi, I’m from Montpellier, South of France, here!

Although my Fairphone is currently in repair, I’d very much like to help other local Fairphoners, in French or English! I already know how to open it and change the modules, explain a lot of the good things in Fairphone, but that’s about it for now… And I’m a fresh member of the Repair Café of Montpellier!

Is it enough to be a Fairphone Angel?
