    @Charly There was an app before but I don't think it's available on focal. Also, it might only work on select devices like the bq device.

    Update doesn't start on Volla Phone (the original one). I'm on OTA-10 (stable). I selected "Upgrade" from the screen as seen in the screenshot from domubpkm above. It downloaded the update. When I tap on "Install" it shows the known blue colored "Restart & Install" button. When I tap on it, it disappears and just nothing happens. Tried several times, even with reboots in between. So what am I supposed to do?

    Hello, on my FP4, on 24.04-1.0 once I have disabled internet connection (or battery saver app did) I must reboot to get back an internet connection. Indeed, when toggling data on after having it off, I get the LTE sign on notification menu opened, but on the upper notification bar it is still the wifi empty icon, but most important : internet is unreachable. Thanks !!

    I tried to upgrade to Noble this week when the option was presented in the 'Updates' menu. The whole process took about 30 minutes and it did boot, however unlocking the phone would result into immediate restart of lomiri presenting me the lock screen again. Unlocking would result into the same restart of lomiri. I was able to open the top drawer and noticed new items like Display and Ayatana-bluetooth-indicator. But none of the buttons would respond. I rebooted which took about 10 minutes, than interface seemed to respond properly. But due to missing mobile communications (no indicator in the top bar), I rebooted again. After third boot interface looked ok, but when opening Cinny, I got a message that disk was full. If I recall correctly I started the upgrade with around 10GB free space. Subsequent reboots took around 30 minutes again. But basically same status as during the first boot after upgrade as described above. I was able to ssh into the phone and noticed that no free space in /dev/mmcblk0p72 mounted on /userdata was available. I tried reinstalling noble, by using the installer without success. Same performance as with the subsequent reboots. Than I downgraded to Focal and the phone responded properly again. I was only missing Dekko2, which was solved by reinstalling. But I also got a message of 3% disk space remaining. I found a 7 and 8 GB backup file in /userdata/backups (user-config-backup-20251003T161729Z.tar.gz and user-config-backup-20251003T164623Z.tar.gz) So I deleted the oldest. This experience leads me to a couple of questions: What is the purpose of user-config-backup files? Is it safe to delete them all? How do I upgrade properly to Noble

    @ma Glad it worked so far. But might be worth giving information about that behaviour and the error message to the porter(s) of your device. Sometjing may need fixing.

    @shano said in Why is Wayland compositor and Lomiri so far in terms of functionality compared to Compiz and Unity7 released some 20 years ago?: rather excluding large parts of it. well, that's a reproach that has been aimed at Microsoft (Windows and Apple (Liquid interface). When you go from a keyboard/mouse interface to something that can only be driven by fingers, you are most likely having to lose some functionality. The hand is a marvelous tool, but to manage a computer it's not always the most efficient. It's not for nothing that voice control has been added more often to phones than traditional computers. Yet clearly for the newer generations the classic computers are almost a curiosity from older times, the phone has won, warts and all.

    @Alain Oh wait, so you haven't unlocked the bootloader yet earlier? I assume only the toggle in Android?

    @Keneda https://forum.fairphone.com/t/is-fairphone-b-v-struggling/117307/41 They made a big loss in 2023, a small profit in 2024 and are projecting a loss again for 2025. The thread also has some other details and a lot of speculation. I am not saying that they will go bust tomorrow, but I think they need to reevaluate their strategy. Personally I think they could learn a bit from how Framework does it and lean into repairability and upgradability.
