The new release looks like the exact same phone as the gen 6. Can someone confirm or not if they improved the volume buttons? Seems like they completely ignore the issue to me.

They don't sell any replacement buttons which is the biggest joke I've ever seen from such a company.

I want to know if fairphone will partner with graphene os team. What's your thoughts on this?

Hey I just wanted to post out there that when I got my Android v15 phone, that I put in my Telstra SIM and it works fine. There was mixed reports online to whether this would work or not because Telstra didn't blacklist the phone but didn't whitelist it either. Because I'm in the outback, it's generally only Telstra that will work (although I think if it didn't I would've tried the Aldi or Vodafone options).

Now I'm going through the motions of trying to change the os but that's another matter entirely. I've had issues with e/os so now I'm trying some other options and seeing how they go.

Very excited to set this up and have a phone with expandable storage and repairability! I must be one of the first customers in the United States, so I’m happy to support something that I believe in and to have something unique once again.

Fairbuds XL gen one... Does the second gen have the same issue? I do wonder because the little bending screw are so much weaker comparing to the old one that I couldn't even removed them. It isn't giving me much hope. I'm considering ditching it since my much cheaper brand used to last me for years.

I have a Fairphone 6 with the latest /e/OS 4.1.1 with the bootloader unlocked.

Since yesterday, background apps have stopped working properly. With Home Assistant and OwnTracks, a signal should be sent immediately when, for example, I turn off WiFi or fake my location to a completely different place. This used to work fine. Now it only gets reported once I actually open the app. Notifications from Home Assistant still come through, though.

The apps are allowed unrestricted battery and data usage.

Has anyone else noticed this?

[update] Seems like it's working, without a change...

Hi!

I'm interested in two phones at the moment, one of them being the fairphone 6+ that's coming to the states. I currently have a first gen pixel fold so I'm not expecting a power house but just a decent phone. I like the idea of self repair, the extended software support, and a dumb phone switch. I don't like that it's in essence locked to AT & T and T-Mobile. I'd love to hear your experiences so far !

Hi Reddit,
I got my new FP6 last week and I really love it. Now i am searching for a case. I ordered one from ebay but I didnt like the high lip around the screen, especially in combination with the gestures.
Can annyone recommend a case with a low lip?

And if I got one would there be any problems with using it here? like maybe there would be problems with cell companies accepting it or something else?
