I have a Fairphone 3+, bought about 6 weeks ago. I might have waited if I'd know this was on the horizon. I flashed mine with /e/ OS (WTF's with that name?) and it has been fantastic. My only complaint is the fingerprint sensor is a little clunky.
- tannhaeuser 5y agoThat's what I'm about to do when my iPhone will pass away eventually (but probably from eSolutions directly). Though I really want my phone to be small, and rather don't want the Predator-like optical aiming device; just a basic up-to-date camera would be fine with me.
- keraf 5y agoHave the FP3+ for about 6 months with /e/OS as well, very happy with it until the USB-C port stopped working. I can either ship the entire phone back for repair (ordered from fairphone.com) or buy the bottom module and replace it myself. I prefer the latter as it's one of the reasons I bought the phone for. Unfortunately that part is currently out of stock... Looking at forums, it seems to be a common issue.
- Elte 5y agoTip: Scotch tape. I was immensely frustrated with the fingerprint sensor on my FP3, which would only register in perfect conditions, so I had to type my password half the time. Somewhere online I read the tip to put a piece of scotch tape over it, which sounded utterly ridiculous, but at the same time so straightforward and harmless that I tried. I have no idea why it works, but I'm only typing my password whenever the "extra security" counter kicks in now.
- johnchristopher 5y agoFWIW, the sensor works flawlessly on mine. Maybe how the fingerprint is recorded matters ? I moved my finger slightly between each take in the calibration process.
