After some months of emails and manually checking a lot of the Fairphone 5, i managed to get the Fairphone 5 5G approved on Colombian networks!
So, if you are on Colombia, you'll be able to use it just fine!
(It is now time to do some dev stuff on it )

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

Hello Fairphone users!

We would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the photo quality of the Fairphone camera/

Is it good? Bad? Any examples?

¿Fairphone? ¿Qué es eso? ¿Se Come? XD

Chiste, sé lo que es.

Justamente estaba por preguntarte qué tal te ha parecido el dispositivo porque uno justamente anda buscando todas las alternativas posibles y al menos #Fairphone sonaba como algo interesante a revisar aunque deben valer lo suyo. Yo para adquirir uno seguramente debería desangrarme un año entero XD

Yo tengo un #xiaomi #pocophonef1 (es un modelo viejo que adquirí de... no sé cuántas manos) pero tiene su potencia así que siempre busco estirar su vida un poco más, al menos el hardware, lo que es sistema y demás hace rato que la obsolescencia programada me viene susurrando cual demonio al oído «Compra uno nuevo» y yo le respondo también en un grito susurrado «No puedo ¿Me lo pagas tu o qué?» XD

En Unilago (centro comercial de tecnología) no hay celular que no se pueda reparar. Hace unos días le arreglamos la huella digital a un iphone 5 por $30.000 cop, unos 8 euros.

@sturmsucht @abulling @jacobscharmberg Hi! Vielen Dank für Eure Antworten! Vielleicht habt ihr ja auch zu folgendem eine Meinung/Idee?! Ich habe die Möglichkeit ein gebrauchtes #fairphone 5 mit /e/ OS Murena "günstig" zu kaufen (zur Zeit Pixel 6). Zu dem OS habe ich gemischte Kritiken gelesen. Gäbe es da die Möglichkeit auf Graphene OS umzusteigen? Wäre das sinnvoll? Oder einfach nur Geldverschwendung (da Pixel noch gut läuft). Vielen Dank!

I didn't buy that Token2 model because of its NFC capability and USB-C connector, but because it's the cheapest #FIDO2 token supporting Ed25519-SK. I did try out using it with my #Fairphone 3 running /e/OS with #MicroG, and it worked fine.

The silicon case I ordered along with the #Token2 key is unfortunately a bit too thick and thereby prevents the key's USB-C connector from being inserted properly into the FP3 if it's wearing its rubber case as well, which makes NFC a bit tricky too.

The Token2 key wearing a white silicon case with caps that protect the USB-A and USB-C connectors and that are attached to the rest of the case with a silicon hinge. The case itself has a metal keyring.

Shout out. Anyone use or have used a Fairphone and if so, what are your thoughts? Pros and cons, beyond the obvious self-repair and long-term support? Boosts okay.

Out with the old battery, in with the new. Didn't even require a screwdriver. Love my Fairphone. I see no issue in using it for another 3 years.

Fairphone 4 on a wooden table. To the left there is a red leather flip case. To the right a replacement battery still in its card board wrap.

The backcover has been removed and the phone has been placed upside down in the case (to avoid screen scratches). The battery in its wrapper still to the right.

(The battery has been swapped.) The phone with the removed back cover looks the same (except it's equipped with a fresh battery now). To the right lies the old battery.

Den Kopfhörer-Klinkenanschluss habe ich bei meinem Fairphone 5 auch schmerzlichst vermisst. Nachdem ich mir den USBC-Klinkenadapter (2te Generation) gekauft habe, der auch mit Headset funktioniert, (und der wie auch das Ladekabel sehr robust/belastbar/langlebig wirkt) bin ich deutlich glücklicher. https://shop.fairphone.com/de/shop/usb-c-to-mini-audio-jack-adapter-3-5mm-1603

FairphoneAdapter USB-C-Audioklinke (3,5 mm) | FairphoneHier ist er, unser neuester USB-C-Audioklinken-Adapter. Passend für dein kabelgebundenes Android-Audio-Headset und EXTREM langlebig.
