📲 /e/OS extends the life of Fairphone 3 for 2 more years Even as Android support ends for Fairphone 3 after 7 years, we will keep it running securely with /e/OS for two more years—no need to replace your device.

@pixelcode @Natanox @e_mydata i'm guessing you're on the community build, not the official build?

[pixelcode@social.tchncs.de]

@petitmote @Natanox @e_mydata Yes, hasn't the official one been deprecated anyway?

[petitmote@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@pixelcode @Natanox @e_mydata it's still updated every month, and there is no information about that on the device page. That's why I'm asking this today.

[pixelcode@social.tchncs.de]

@petitmote @Natanox @e_mydata weird indeed

[petitmote@toot.aquilenet.fr]

@npettiaux @e_mydata @gael @murena c'est étrange, il y en a tous les mois. Je suggère de réinstaller, tu es peut-être sur un build non officiel.

[npettiaux@mamot.fr]

@petitmote @e_mydata @gael @murena j'ai acheté le telephone il y a des années sur le site officiel

@e_mydata
Ça, c'est monstre cool !
Il y a une année, j'ai offert un #Fairphone3 à mon fils. Content d'apprendre qu'il sera encore supporté deux ans.
Merci pour votre super travail !
Continuez comme-ça !

@jill @e_mydata @gael @murena mine requested 2 new batteries, a bottom module and is slowing down (even though there is plenty of space available).

[murena@mastodon.social]

@tichon @jill @e_mydata @gael For how long have you been using it?

[kkarhan@c.im]

@e_mydata @gael @murena now we only need 3rd party batteries...

TelH90 (@kkarhan@c.im)

Since #Fairphone is about to discontinue the #support for the #Fairphone3plus, I wounder if anyone is able and/or willing to build i.e. an adator backplate to chug like a 21700 or a pair of 18650s if not #LiFePO4 #batteries to it. - I kinda need a solution due to #DangerPillow syndrome…

@pixelcode @petitmote @Natanox @e_mydata well, #Fairphone did mail out that they #EoL #Firmware #Updates in August 2026.

[tichon@mastodon.social]

@murena @jill @e_mydata @gael 6 years and 5 months. Without #blisslauncher

[murena@mastodon.social]

@hook @sorenladegaard @e_mydata @gael We haven't set a specific date yet, but providing support beyond two years could pose a significant challenge both technically and in terms of the workload.

[hook@toot.si]

@murena, understood and understandable.

But in any case it would be (cca.) in 2028 or which year? It's hard to keep track of all EOL and their extensions for a normal user/consumer

@sorenladegaard @e_mydata @gael

[natanox@chaos.social]

@kkarhan @pixelcode @petitmote @e_mydata The EU should force all hardware manufacturers to open-source their firmwares upon abandonment… not a criticism of Fairphone, but in this case I guess of Qualcomm.

[murena@mastodon.social]

@hook @sorenladegaard @e_mydata @gael Exactly, in 2028, but we'll surely share the information before it happens. Just stay tuned or subscribe to our newsletter to not miss any important announcements: https://newsletter.murena.io

[hook@toot.si]

@murena, thank you. This helps a lot.

Again, whatever the extension would be, it is very welcome and appreciated. It is merely a question about how to plan buying new hardware vs spare parts for FP3(+).
