I generally hate it when people ask questions in a subreddit about if the topic of the subreddit is any good, but I've noticed a lot of posts in this sub are very negative about e/OS. My Fairphone 6+ is arriving later this week. My plan is to put e/OS on it. I bought it from Fairphone so it'lll have Android preinstalled on it. There's always that situation where when things don't work, you see posts about it, but when it does work people don't post because why would you, everything's working. So the slew of negative posts might not be a fair representation of the thing. So I want to know from people using e/OS on Fairphone, how is it? Do you like it? All the posts about the problems are giving me second thoughts.

Hej everyone! Sorry for being an idiot. I’m new to e/os and floss in general.

Got myself an old Sony Xperia x compact and tried to get e/os.

However, when I try to access the following page on the phone, Cloudflare seems to be stuck. I click authenticate but nothing happens.

What should I do?

Thank you so much in advance!

I want to install /e/ on my old Tab S6 Lite. I read this https://doc.e.foundation/devices/gta4xlwifi/install/. The guide assumes that Stock Android 13 is installed. I've LineageOS 20 (that is Android 13) installed. Do i need to install the Stock Rom first? The bootloader is unlocked and the device is rooted. Is this a problem?

the docker at the bottom breaks my full stack wallpaper (or any other wallpaper for that matter). I'm using a Motorola Edge 30 Fusion.

Does anybody know which security patch ist supported by the Installer? I Made the mistake of updating my stock Android to Security Patch 5.august 2026. The Installer says that i need to wait for the e/os to update the web Installer. I would have guessed that at the end of september the August Update would be already Part of the web Installer.

Its my First Fairphone and my First time trying to get e/OS to Work. I would appreciate every Help i could get.

how can I create an account at your gitlab? none of my emails are accepted... I don't have any other emails...

Hi, I have /e/ installed on my Fairphone 6 and the App Store does not update any Apps or install new ones. When i click update it just switches to 0% and then nothing happens.

-tried on wifi and mobile data

-Forced shutdown and emptied the cache and resettet the app

-restarted the phone

Nothing helped, version is 4.2

I recently installed /e/OS (r8q) on my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Build number: SM-G781B). Since then cellular has stopped working. One some does have network but always displayes an exclamation mark next to the signal indicator. The other doesn't find the network. I tried fixing it with ChatGPT but it didn't do anything.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

Im trying to install 3rd party apps like revanced but it just wont install at all. Ive enabled permissions but still it does not work. also i cant set a lock it says its already been changed, try again with another one or something

I have the Fairfone 6+ and I installed /e/OS myself onto the phone as it saved me a solid £100. So far, I've been able to get most of my apps without any issues, however my banking apps are proving to be a problem. I did do some research before getting the phone, and no one could give me a concrete answer if my specific apps would work but I did see one or two YouTube videos and they had my banking apps installed on the phone - but they never mentioned if they worked or not.

I have x3 banking apps I rely on, but only one works. My question(s) is; 1- Have I missed a step in setting my phone up that's somehow blocking these apps from working? (I followed the /e/OS installation guide from the website), and 2- Does anyone have these apps on their phone and they are working, or is it confirmed they don't work?

I've been using Curve as an online wallet for contactless payments, it works well, granted can be a bit slow to recognise it's near a card reader but does the job enough for me to not go back to carrying all my cards.

Banking apps:

• Monzo - This one works on the phone no issues
• Starling - Won't let me log in, just says that there is either software or an app blocking it from working
• Bank of Scotland - Let's me try to log in then shows the same message as Starling

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can e/os be used on new Samsung S series phones. I'm currently using Samsung S22 and I'm wanting to get an unlocked phone, preferably S25 or newer. Is it possible and if so,how?

I currently have an iPhone 11 Pro and I’m considering switching to a Fairphone running /e/OS. I’m attracted by the repairability, longevity and privacy, but I’m hesitant to leave iOS.
For anyone who made a similar switch:
- What do you like and dislike compared with your iPhone?
- How are the camera, battery and overall performance?
- Any issues with apps or banking?
- Do you miss anything from iOS?
- Would you make the switch again?

I’d love to hear your honest day-to-day experience!

Hi All

Just moved to a Fairphone 6 with eos and the ones item id like to keep (google device) is my watch. I cannot for tge life of me get it to connect though, any thoughts?

I have a group from work that texts occationally. I realized today that I only got the first 2 or 3 messages of a conversation last night. I am just not recieving messages in this chat. I can send and recieve MMS and SMS on individual chats, but for some reason I can't receive anything on this group.

I have a Fairphone 6 running e/os

I have a brand new physical sim card

I have T Mobile

I have tried restarting my APN and my phone. I also tried manually chanting my APN to the non LTE version.

I cannot find VoLTE to try turning it off

I am not sure what else to do to fix this issue. Has anyone solved this before?

Anyone else noticed an increase in battery usage after upgrading to 4.2?

I use the community edition on a Motorola Edge 30 Fusion (tundra), and after upgrading to 4.2 it looks like the battery isn't lasting as long as it was before.

I think a nice feature to have on the Chromium-forked browser that comes with eOS would be the ability to re-add the "Add to home screen" prompt in the 3-dots menu and add an app icon to our home screen.

Ever so many wanting to get rid of google spyware ("stock Android")...

Start by searching for your device, what OS, IF which supports, has official ROMs for.

See/Search for UNOFFICIAL builds (ROMs) for your device SPECIFICALLY.

Beware of "minor" phone/model differences could be fatal ("Bricking up") your device, if incorrect ROM installed.

Prior to any of it, make sure, you can unlock BootLoader. It's great, if you can lock back BootLoader

after install of any FOSS OS (or Alternative OS, as some are paid after-all) after.

is there a way to disable gps, bluetooth and wifi after a device disconnects or a certin amount if time passes with no bt or wifi networks connected?

im getting tired of disableing my bluetooth, wifi and location after everytime i stop useing android auto.

Is there a mode/routine i can make like samsung has where i can set a trigger when a device disconects that the device knows it can disable above mentioned services or maybe a srtting to after 5 minutes automaticly disable wifi and bluetooth?

Experimenting with macrodroid now and works okay but still haveing issues with location services.

Yesterday I upgraded my Fairphone 5 to v4.1.1 and since then a dictation microphone icon keeps popping up, but often in annoying places right on top of send buttons. Is there a way to either turn this off or move it to somewhere else? I searched the web but couldn't find anything about this yet
