Terminabstimmung (bis Donnerstag) für den
Aachener Fairphone-Stammtisch im JUNI

https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-community-aachen/9703/308?u=urs_lesse

I really like my #Fairphone 5 - it's reasonably fast, everything i need works (mostly without GAFAM as far as i can get atm) and i intend to use it for a long time.

But there is one "downside" of using a niche phone:
I want to attach my phone to my bikes, but all the cool kids (#PeakDesign, #SPConnect, #QuadLock) don't have specific cases for the Fairphone. I could go with an universal adapter, but alas i'm not sure if they will work fine (and safe) with an ordinary TPU case.

Welp, #FairPhone are offering a discount on the FP5, which probably means the FP6 is due soon.

But my "I'll take that display model you're throwing away soon" Xiaomi PocoPhone F1 from 2018 is slowly dying, and I think 7 years is a reasonable duty cycle for a phone that was abused in the shop before it landed in my hands. My Fairphone 2 only lasted like 3 years, if I recall.

So I pulled the trigger on an FP5. I hope I can actually get 7 years out of it this time.

Sometimes it happens, that some pictures i did, are not saved on my Android device.
Pictures before and later have been saved, but some are missing. This happened today on my #fairphone 5, but i had this issue also before on other phones. No idea why.
The battery was really low (~7%} but pictures i took later, were still saved.
Does anyone know this problem?

Het #Fairphone naar /e/OS-experiment is helaas niet helemaal vlekkeloos verlopen. Grootste probleem: batterij gaat echt heel snel leeg. Nu terug naar Fairphone Android 14 en het lijkt weer normaal met de batterij. Helaas was dat een dealbreaker. Geen wallet-functie was nog tot daaraantoe, maar de batterij was echt heel ergerlijk dat je niet rustig op reis kunt zonder lader.
Edit: ik gebruikte 2 users ipv. 1, het kan dat dit voor dit probleem zorgde

So what #Phone should I get? /e/ seems to be out so the #Fairphone is out as well. So I guess it will be an older 2nd hand #Pixel and #grapheneos

If you’re curious about alternatives to #BigTech, this video review by @Techaltar is very insightful and mainly focuses on @tuxedocomputers laptops with their own fork of Linux / @kde, #Fairphone smartphones with the Android fork /e/OS, and the @nextcloud office suite.

Hello everyone,
Soon, I need to look into getting another phone, as Android updates for my phone have stopped, so it's just security updates.
Unsure what the cutoff is, but I assume it's in the next year or two.
I'm lookingat potentially getting a #fairphone
What do people think of it? Any particular issues?

As much as I dunk on #Fairphone for #downgrading every device since the #FP3plus, they at least live the "#SchematicsOrDie!" principle and actually deliver #Schematics, #BoardView and #ComponentList on their website in a publicly accessible #PDF...

• Now bring me back real #DualSIM & #HeadphoneJack and we'll be golden...

In all seriousness tho: they ain't perfect but the best there is in terms of "you csn buy this right now in stores" kinda brand that isn't some obsure crowdfunding thingy but has an actual track record!

• Also shoutout to #LouisRossmann for releasing an addendum on his own...

Finalmente un altro youtuber tra i miei preferiti prova seriamente delle alternative ai prodotti delle bigtech. Tra le scelte ci sono #Fairphone con #e_OS, #Nextcloud e ovviamente in notebook#Tuxedo con #Linux (#Tuxedoos) con #Plasma. Si menziona anche #Mastodon ma è chiaro che il nostro è ancora un po' acerbo del nostro mondo. Se solo avesse conosciuto i @devol qualcuno di noi, magari avremmo potuto guidarlo meglio. Commentate il suo video e fatelo sentire benvenuto

I like the idea of the fairphone. I also own a fairphone 4. but honestly the service sucks. When talking on the phone people don't understand me because the sound is muffled and there is a lot of echo.
This is a know issue since FP 3. Also the brand new FP5 has it. So basically a lot of users have a phone that does not work as a telephone and the only thing the customer support offers is "please reset to factory defaults".
