#fairphone3 — Public Fediverse posts

While it's still recommendable to not take it as a 100 % guarantee, this is the clearest indication yet that @murena still intends to bring their /e/OS ANDROID 16 to the 📱FAIRPHONE 3 👉 https://community.e.foundation/t/week-30-development-and-testing-updates/83335/4?u=urs_lesse /u

#Fairphone3 #Murena

Well, I've been working on an #eInk #cyberdeck recently, and it runs a #raspberrypi 3B+, which is (it turns out) way underpowered to run #logseq (something something #electron app).

Well! It turns out that someone has written a different version of #logseq which can work alongside logseq (on the same files) - it's called #Tine and it seems to have all the features I use on logseq (with the exception of sync, but that was always janky anyhow, and so I would probably use #syncthing instead either way), but actually runs on lower powered devices! (There's even an #android version which seems to run happily on my #Fairphone3 🎉)

https://tine.page/

And they were able to do this because #logseq is #OpenSource. This is delightful ❤️✨

(and yes I am subtooting #Obsidian, sorry not sorry)

Anyone having trouble with unexpectedly high mobile data? Using #Fairphone3 and android with #PhoneCoop in UK and about to switch to #FP6 and #Murena . I have very poor mobile signal at home and work so use very little data unless I'm away from home. Got a warning saying I'd used 15GB today ..which seems extremely unlikely with data turned off and no mobile signal. I suspect nasty Google added more snooping after the last update but 15GB seems impossibly high. Any thoughts masto folks? #MobileData #HighDataUsage #Google #Android

Especially for those of you with a #Fairphone3 thinking of upgrading .. you may be interested to see the new #Fairphone6 is now offered with standard Google stuff or fully degoogled with Murena e/OS. Can buy from #Fairphone direct or from #Murena with an offer of a free year of 1TB Europe based storage and Murena workspace. Phone coop currently have no plans to offer degoogled versions https://murena.com/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-6/

Auf sieben Jahre Fairphone 3! 🥂 🥲 mit ein paar Bildern aus diesen Jahren.

Got a weird tech question, and I'm not sure which forum to post it to, so I'll put it out into the fediverse ether!

I use #lineageOS on a #Fairphone3 and most of my apps are installed via f-droid. But some are installed via #AuroraStore, when there isn't an fdroid version.

I'm not signed into Google play on this phone.

Most apps just work, but there are 3 which do a weird thing, and are unusable as a result - when they start they just spin out to a Google Play sign on page.

What's going on? And is there anything I can do about it?

The apps are:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saf.aranetCube.android (I haven't tested this one recently)

@finnsend @oraculix Ich habe auch ein #Fairphone3 mit /e/OS und bin damit sehr zufrieden - bei mir funktioniert alles prima! Und ich nutze tatsächlich auch den Olauncher und kann den empfehlen - aber das ist natürlich Geschmackssache :)

Nachdem sich seit einer Woche das Display meines über sechs Jahre alten #fairphone3 nicht mehr zuverlässig einschaltet, hab ich mir zur Feier des #diday heute gleich mal das aktuelle #fairphone6 bestellt, natürlich in der #refurbished Edition, um Umwelt und Geldbeutel zu schonen.

Tonight in "nerdy shit"™ I'm switching my "phone which lives behind the cupboard which exists to keep my #WhatsApp account active" from a #Fairphone3 (with no camera and a smashed screen) to a #Nexus5 (with a smashed screen, released 2015?), sooooo that I can try installing #UbuntuTouch on the #Fairphone3! 🤓

A little appreciation message for my @fairphone! ❤️

Friday I spilled some liquid on it, and later plugged it in. No charging + a tiny puff of smoke/steam... NOT good.

So I ordered a new bottom module from Fairphone (£17), and accurate tracking updates told me it'd arrive Tues afternoon.

It did, I followed the simple install video (took 30 mins) and my 6-year old #Fairphone3 is now good as new.

AND I had use of it the whole time, since I just swapped in a spare battery.

Brief reminder of this ⬆️ testing option of Android 16 for the FP3 – I was able to install it on a spare FP3 (previously on /e/OS Android 15 community 3.7.1) myself today – while the same installation on another FP3 (coming from Fairphone's latest Android OS Android 13) would not boot. /u

Lilbits: Pebble Time 2 smartwatch adds touchscreen app support, entry-level Pixel 11 could have less RAM than Pixel 10

Before the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch, there was Pebble. The pioneering smartwatch brand disappeared for a while after it was acquired by Fitbit… which was later acquired by Google. But last year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky launched a new company called Core Devices and revived the brand.

For the most part, new Pebble-branded watches are a lot like the ones that shipped a decade […]

The Fairphone 3, which was released in 2019, gets its final security update in June, 2026. Official support ends in August, but /e/OS plans to offer 2 more years of support for users that install the alternate Google-free Android OS. https://murena.com/your-fairphone-3-isnt-obsolete-heres-what-to-do-when-android-support-ends/ #Murena #eOS #Fairphone #Fairphone3

@e_mydata thank you! Love my #fairphone3 and I'm greatfull that you keep it alive and de-Googled :Blobhaj_Ani_Hearts:

🔧 The company has now released the pending FAIRPHONE 6️⃣ REPAIR PRICE LIST for repairs out of warranty. The list is presented now in a support article combining it with the known repair price lists for FAIRPHONEs 3️⃣, 4️⃣ and 5️⃣. ➡️ https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/32507864478994-Fairphone-Phones-Repair-Price-List-and-FAQ

Interesting find: The price for FP6 mainboard repairs varies considerably now, suggesting partial repairs are attempted and possible to avoid a complete replacement. Other part repairs are priced at ranges as well, albeit smaller ones. /u

❗Only for the daring ones at their own risk. You might also want to WAIT until the actual❗Android security patch level is clarfified.

🆕 EDIT: The developer corrected the SPL – it is indeed September 2025.

I must admit that I'm fairly disappointed with #Fairphone for retiring the #Fairphone3 in summer after <7 years: no more software updates and no spare parts.

While unofficial operating systems (with continued updates) like /e/OS and iodéOS remain available for the #FP3, repairing its hardware will no longer be possible. This is especially frustrating for those who bought the FP3 later than 2019.

And the 50€ discount they offered is only valid for buying a new FP6 but not for FP3 spare parts. 🤡
