I’ve really enjoyed mine and no complaints about /e/os either. Switched from a flagship Samsung as part of an effort to de-google, and the transition has been pretty smooth.
FP seemingly abandoned Australia with the FP5 and the 3g cutoff.
Not quite sure how I feel about them now.
Both my wife and I have FP6s with e/os (I’m technical and love tinkering, she just wants something that works)
We both absolutely love our phones! It just works. Had an issue with one app, for a virtual museum card in our country, only so far that required google services and did not work with mircrog. Everything else from banking to government apps works flawlessly.
Do you know if Android Auto works with /e/os?
I’m using regular android on my fp6, but given everything google does–
I wish there was an easier way to try it out without the need to wipe/move everything.
You have to install a few google apps to make it work. There’s a guide on how to do it.
I haven’t tried it myself as I find it counterintuitive to regoogle a degoogled phone, but people in the murena forum report it works.
You can buy a Linux phone from FairPhone?
Still on my fp4, still have ghost touches, still upset about their painfully slow update cycle and their abysmal customer service
I have come to dislike mine. Stock Android bc I couldn’t get it with /e/ and my old phone was blowing up. Didn’t dare to lose the Google backup.
Weekly freezes requiring hard resets, Bluetooth issues, internet issues, graphical stuttering. I got it for the replaceable battery, but damn, now I don’t want it at all.
I’ve been using iodeOS since release and have had zero issues
I hear good things about /e/OS, too, but the switch is a risky time investment and I don’t know if my banking apps will continue to work. I think I’ll have to switch an even older phone first, seeing as my Pixel has outgrown its shell.
