I received back my old Fairphone 2 + spare parts that a friend have been using until a couple years ago.
It seems from browsing around that now there is no updated OS available for it?
When powered it up, I noticed he had never updated it since he got it from me, still running Murena 0.2 something… Updater said 1.8 was available, but when trying i learned all Murena FP2 software have been pulled. Browsing around it seems that was the last option?
Anyway, if anyone is interested, i have:
One FP2 with upgraded camera - OK except it is missing front half of case (that rim around edge of screen.) Battery seems very good: my USB charger meter said it received 2800mAh 5V when charging, phone off, so Call capacity should be slightly more than 3 Ah, guessing some current gain in phone switching converter minus battery losses.
Spare parts: Screen, unused screen protector, one old type camera, one new type camera, battery (capacity about 2/3 of the other one), and defective main unit (I believe only problem is it do not drive the display (display works when mounted on the other main unit, but some hours after i booted it it let me hear the wake up alarm, so it runs)
No scratch on any screen, no bulging on any battery. Impressing that both battery had voltage despite the long time without use nor charging, even the one that was in the phone. What quality!
Do someone have good use of something?
If so i need some help about how to clear all user data, also from the half broken one of one wants it (via USB port and Linux?)
Else I ponder converting my head lamp from 3xAA to FP2 battery - I obviously have two good batteries and two … advanced… chargers… (and i have cell protector cirquits and know electronics)
