Hello, I’m from Antwerp and just received my FP2 yesterday. My previous phone was a iPhone 4 which I used since 2010. I was fed up with iOS taken decisions for me. So I tried Android, after playing a few hours with it I decided to install Open OS. It looks much better.
Soon to be a former user of the Fairphone, I’m dropping the ability to have internet all the time in your pocket for a while. But really like the idea of the Fairphone.
Hey everyone, I’m not usually posting on forums but I feel like I’ll love to talk to you guys.
I’m a (half swiss half dutch) software engineer in the making. I have no real plans for my career as of now and, to be honest, avoiding blood on my hands when doing my job would be a, somewhat, good thing. I think if I ever get the opportunity to get on a project like the FP, I’d jump on it right away.
Anyways, my current phone got a cracked screen and I’ve been following the news around FP since the announcement of the FP2… I’ll be taking the step real soon (I’ll need to put all the social and ethical costs in budget first ).
I’m looking forward to dig deeper on the software side of the FP.
Since I speak french, english and understand german, I’ll be reading all over the place during the time I’ll be saving money for my FP! (Just need to learn dutch someday to call myself a true dutch )
Anyway I’m really glad this project exists and I hope I’ll be able to add something to it.
Welcome to the forum, @ySiggen! I think, your work would be most valuable on one of the community ports. Are you the Lineage OS, Sailfish OS or Ubuntu Touch type?
Hello everyone,
I’m from Graz/Austria and I received my FP2 1.5 week agon.
I switched to FP Open 16.12.0 but I also installed Google Play Store. I know, not everybody thinks this make sense
I also installed Xposed, Xprivacy and AFWall+. It was a lot of work, but I managed it.
Now everything allmost works fine. There is only one issue with missed calls. I made a support request and I will do an forum-post.
The company I working for allowed that I chose the phone für me. So I decided for Fairphone, because it is very important for me to support the things Fairphone stands for.
Hi, all other fairphone users in Austria!
I’m Wolfgang and a FP2 owner since June 2016… and a proud one, too!
Just received my new ‘Slim Cases’ yesterday - totally happy about them.
Hi, I’m Peter from Berlin, got my Fairphone 2 a few days ago and I really like it!
Switched to FP2 from an old & slowly dying Nexus S which I was using for more than 5 years(!)
Immediately installed FP Open to get rid of google, also Xposed, PMP & microG (for those apps that cling to that Big G)…
