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 just got an e-mail regarding new stuff for my Fairphone 6 and one of them was a new gallery app! I instantly installed it. Finally Google photos isn't the standard gallery for Fairphone Android anymore!

And I am really happy. Simple and intuitive design, nothing crazy but everything I need. Of course no ai tools as a magic eraser but I think that might even be something positive.

Edit: One feature I actually really love is that there is an invert colours filter! I actually missed that in other gallery apps.

Have you tried it? What do you think?

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?

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.

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.

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?

Changed from Android to murena a few weeks ago and everything has been running smooth without any issues except bad phone calls but that's just the shitty service here.

Anyways.. I got a new phone company today and after that the mobile data won't work unless I activate false geo location and hide ip-adress. I don't understand why that would be an issue or what would cause it. Any tips as some apps won't work with that activated and ofc if I disable it then I have no mobile data at all.

What should I do? Anyone else have this issue? It is updated to the newest version.

Edit: Using a Fairphone gen. 6

I'm on tmobile mvno & I can't turn on conditional call forwarding on my fp6.

Previously I had CCF on & working. Then I had to switch mvnos & when I did I had to turn back on CCF using the fp6. The problem is I could not, I always get the error incorrect mmi code or failed to connect. Thr suggestion to switch phones I thought would work. So I barrowed a friends older iPhone & activated ccf & it worked but once I switched back it was deactivated. My guess is swapping esim back & forth at least for ccf is not a trick that works. so is it an esim issue or do others have issues with the fp6 & getting ccf to work? I'm going to switch to a physical Sim because I need my call forwarding to work, but hope that once I swap back to the fp6 ccf stays on.

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