is 5G already supported on Fairphone 4?
-
@gumowy According to the settings on my Fairphone 4 with Ubuntu Touch, only 2G, 3G and 4G are available:
-
@jilly Are you in stable channel? On the Fairphone 5 devel, 5G already works so maybe it'll just be a matter of enabling it unless there's more complicated things to do.
-
@kugiigi Is that on 24.04 though?

@kugiigi
The thread is about FP4, not sure it has same features working as FP5 ^^ -
@Lakotaubp I had to put back my extra sim to it and yeah, it has 5G
@Keneda I'm just saying that since the FP5 has it then the FP4 might get it too since from what I gathered from previous discussions about this is that 5G is much simpler to implement compared to VoLTE. I don't know the technicalities so I may be wrong too

@kugiigi My Fairphone 4 runs on 20.04 stable channel.

@jilly You could ask the question for our q&a here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10790/ubuntu-touch-q-a-159-call-for-questions

I've just installed, no 5G option. I'm also waiting for it as I don't have the old cell types available near me, only 5G.

I missed the date, was the question asked? I have skimmed through the YT recording, but I believe it was ignored.
What is the way to submit a bug against the device documentation as it falsely advertise that data is working on FP4? I can't use Telegram (mainly because I really don't want to, if you have to ask).

@fair The question has been answered by Marius yesterday night during Q&A 159.
5G on FP4 should land on Noble first release.

@stanwood Thanks will check out the q&a tomorrow. Any mention of it arriving in 20.04.

woohoo, that's a really great news
by the way, they said porting code to openssl 3.x holds them down. Interestingly there's a nice feature to use new openssl lib with old client code by specifying the api level
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/ba90c491254fd3cee8a2f791fc191dcff27036c1/Configure#L70-L74
but obviously updating the old apps is a better choice long term.
-
@fair That's interesting. 5G is very new and usually, only 3G/2G is shutdown. Even 4G is gone in your place?

It depends on the operator. Sure there is one having solid coverage of any signal anywhere around, but it costs 4 times more. I don't miss the slow pre-5G access anyway.
