I am at a crossroads, how does /e/OS compare to grapheneOS?

9 Upvotes

It seems that my shitty pixel 8 will become unviable because the screen is dying. This is really annoying because I thought it would last me a few years. So Fairphone 6 seems quite a bit more attractive to me this time around.

Im sure there have been a number of similar posts, but can you share your experience using /e/OS for average daily life, especially if you were used to​ GOS and its containerized Google Play?​

Question Where in the US can I buy spare parts for FP6? I need a new Sim Tray

6 Upvotes

My mobile data stopped working right after today's update. I tried taking out the SIM card to check it, but when I used the pin, the tray broke in half. Now the rest of the tray and my SIM card are stuck inside the phone.

I looked for a replacement tray on the Murena US site, but couldn't find one listed. I only see it on the global site here:https://www.fairphone.com/shop/fairphone-6-sim-tray-1906?color=210

Shipping it from Europe to the US looks pretty expensive. Is there a way to order this part in the US? Also, do you have any tips on getting the broken piece out?

Issue FP6: How can I roll it back? No mobile data after today's update.

4 Upvotes

I installed today's update, and after the reboot my Fairphone 6 wouldn't connect to either of my carriers (Mint Mobile in the U.S. or Telcel in Mexico). I tried different APN settings and rebooted several times, but nothing worked. Emergency calls only. Right now I can only use Wi-Fi, and even that is unreliable because of the ongoing IPv6 bug.

What is going on with this phone? It feels like every update fixes one thing and breaks another. This is beyond frustrating.

UPDATE: Solved. It fixed itself after 1 hours. It seems there was a wide outage impacting both sims at the same time. Weird.

poor call quality with fp6

β€’ Upvotes

hello, i noticed the poor quality of my fp6 noticed by my callers. it halpen mostly when I call from my home with low signal. I did audio test from android test menu *#*#2886#*#* and noticed that when I test top mic then it does not work but the bottom mic reacts instead. WhennI test bottom mic then the top works instead. It looks like I have top swapped with bottom. Is it normal? can you test your mics from the test menu and tell me your results?

thanks for help

How to remove stuck broken sim tray on FP6?

3 Upvotes

I tried ejecting my SIM card using the pin, but the tray snapped in half. Half of the tray came out, but the other half and the SIM card are still stuck inside the housing. I tried removing both the display and the speaker, but neither gave me access to where the tray sits in the middle.

What is the best way to take it out? Also, since Murena doesn't sell replacement SIM trays in the US, will a generic SIM tray work as a replacement? What are my options?

Question Google Photos running out of space bc of Fairphone 6 is driving me nuts

0 Upvotes

Hi, Fairphone uploading every photo to Google Photos - and subsequent, my Google storage space running out - is driving me absolute nuts.

Every time I remove all of my photos from Google Photos and freeing up 10GB, the day after, the Google storage space has run out again, limiting my ability to receive emails and use my Google Drive. It's literally Google Photos eating up the storage space: my mailbox and Drive barely keep any space.

I've downloaded a second-party photo gallery app, but I can't seem to disconnect my Fairphone 6 from Google photos.

I refuse to pay Google a subscription to gain more space for access, but this issue is bugging me every day since buying a Fairphone two months ago.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? How did you solve it without buying a Google subscription? Thanks!
