Hi, I was wondering, does /e/os, like Ubuntu Touch and Samsung Android, support usb-c from monitor directly into the phone, and then use it with desktop display, just like a laptop? :)

I live in the US and just bought a pair of Fairbuds XL which I like so far but I'm a bit annoyed they don't have a 3.5mm jack and don't come with the USB-C to 3.5mm cord either. They don't seem to stock it on their Amazon store and since I'm in the US I can't order from their website either.

What other options do I have? Can I used a generic USB-C to 3.5mm dongle to use them wired? Or do I need Apple's $40 USB-C to 3.5mm cable?

Wow, deze post van collega Tim van Neerbos (https://lnkd.in/e6wE3u8f) is viral gegaan en heeft meer dan 4000 'likes' gekregen! Digitale Autonomie is echt een onderwerp dat leeft :-)

En het zaadje werd geplant hier, gewoon bij de servicebalie van ITS in het educatorium, toen collega Mohamed Lemjahdi de e-sim activeerde in mijn pilot-telefoon... 🤩

😢 Habe heute Post bekommen.

"Hallo Jill, im August diesen Jahres schicken wir das Fairphone 3(+) offiziell in den Ruhestand."

Ich finde diese Entscheidung von Fairphone ein wenig enttäuschend, werde mein FP3+ aber natürlich weiter nutzen! Es funktioniert einwandfrei und vor allem hat es noch einen echten Klinkenstecker für meine Lieblingskopfhörer. :rosahaj_headphones:

Werde mich also in nächster Zeit mit alternativen Betriebssystemen beschäftigen.🥳

🔎 Habt ihr Tipps oder Erfahrungen für mich (bevorzugt open source)?

Hey all, I've recently bought a Fairphone 6 and deciding what OS to use. I installed e/ OS and found every apps works fine except a step tracking app StepUp - which I use for work. The wheel just spins when I open this app. Does anyone know how I might fix this issue? Otherwise which OS would you recommend which also has some of the same privacy as e/ OS? Is there anything you can add to the stock OS to improve privacy? Cheers!

Someone forked Fairphone Moments and put it on F-droid. On devices without a switch it doesn't really make sense, but for people using eg Iodé OS on the FP6 this might come in handy

Hi @fairphone@lemmy.ml @Fairphone@social.weho.st

I'm trying to buy a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS using a referral code from your website, but it returns an error at checkout.

I opened a support ticket about 11 days ago and haven't heard back yet. Are referral codes currently working?

I'd really like to buy the phone. ^^

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a question. I currently own a Galaxy Z Fold 7 and am considering switching to a Fairphone 6 running Murena. My main priorities are using Proton Mail, my banking apps, and Android Auto. What should I know before making the switch?

Thanks!

Finally! I have received my new #Fairphone 6, today, and I will start a new journey with /e/OS, leaving Google for good.

I am so excited to be able to try it and support this amazing project, and doing my part for a more sustainable world.

Any advice for a good photo app? I love taking pictures with my Huawei and would love to keep going with my Fairphone as well.

I'm considering replacing my smartphone with a Fairphone 6, and I saw that they only work with the T-Mobile network in the US. Does anyone know if it will work with Mint Mobile, which uses the T-Mobile network?

@Doune, @Bristow_69 les adeptes de #eos sont-ils impactés ? Si tel n'est pas le cas, plutôt que de supplier l'ogre #gafam de ne pas nous manger, chose qu'il fera à plus ou moins long terme, incitons les gens à changer !
@murena @fairphone et @commownfr offrent de jolies opportunités.

USA user here with an aging Galaxy S9+. I'm thinking about getting a Fairphone 6 for its repairability and long-term support but I'm apprehensive about the OS.

While I'm grossed out by Google's tracking I'm not grossed out enough to sacrifice convenience. I want my GMail and Google Maps, and I don't want to worry about my bank apps not working. Can I turn an e/OS install into a more traditional Google-powered experience?

Thanks all!

Some fixes plus the Dec 2025 security patch.

@fairphone is there any plan to add phone call recording by default to the fairphone 6 dialer in /e/OS ?
I can achieve it with third party apps but once it already supports recording calls, it would be a nice addition.

You should also now be able to install iodeos on a Fairphone 6

So I'm loving the FP6 so far but it has an annoying bug where the adaptive brightness is set too low for certain low light conditions. The settings say you can set your brightness manually and it will remember your preferences but so far this doesn't work for me. I keep having to set it manually but it slowly ticks down to to being too dim again in a few minutes or when I turn the screen back on if it's been off for a while.

In Settings -> Display there is a toggle to make the screen Extra Dim with another brightness slider and a couple of additional settings. Turning this toggle on and moving the slider to max brightness hasn't made the screen any brighter but the phone now seems to remember my preferences and I haven't had to manually change the brightness since yesterday.

The last update was supposed to fix this but it didn't for me so hopefully this post might save someone from some minor frustration.

Hey everyone! I think its been about a year since I got my FP5 from murena, with the blue case. I noticed early on that from normal use it got stained and a bit dirty. Keep in mind I live in a really hot country (summers reach around 45°C) so sweating is unavoidable, especially if Im helping a relative with their garden/general house maintenance, or similar activities that equal unclean hands + sweat.

Ive tried wiping it with a wet wipe, but the stains remain.

Any ideas for what I can use to clean it without damaging the material? Im thinking of trying rubbing alcohol but Id like some advice before I try anything new, to avoid damaging it since its a non-standard recycled material.

Id also like to keep this colour of case since I really like the blue :)

Do you have a Touch sensitivity setting under Display on your FP6? The manual calls for one but I don't see it on my FP6.
