I need a recommendation for a good new phone. I prefer something with open source firmware and which does not take your right to repair. What's your opinion on the latest #Fairphone, because it looks interesting? Do you have other recommendations?

#Fairphone launched a new wall charger, and I'm actually considering buying it, I could use one more USB-C charger.
The other day, discussing with a friend, we compared our phones' compass(es?). All my N900, N9, #FairPhone 2 and Moto G7 had/have bad compasses, not even stably off. My friend said he always bought Google phones because of the good quality.
What phones do you have that you're sure the compass quality is good enough?
Mostly asking because of good data quality for mapping:
I have lost my #fairphone4 so I bought me a new #fairphone. The image quality is so much better in the new #fairphone
A nice picture of the #moon, was impossible with the old camera.
@_elena This is a great detailed list! And an inspiration when writing about tech.
I'm curious about #Fairphone. Have you considered this Dutch company and products for your next phone?
Nachdem CalyxOS zumindest für die nächsten Monate leider keine Option mehr ist, werde ich auf meinem Pixel erstmal zu GrapheneOS wechseln, um dessen Community aber einen großen Bogen machen. Was ich mit meinem Fairphone 4 mache habe ich noch nicht final entschieden, aktuell tendiere ich zu IodeOS...

Urgent Android help! SOLVED using @decibyte’s advice: I used Pixel 9a spoofing profile in Aurora Store. Thank you all!
I must install the Interrail Android app [play.google.com] in order to to activate my Interrail ticket, but Aurora Store tells me the app is not available for my device. How can I get it? I could maybe download the APK from Apkpure [m.apkpure.com], but I’d use it as the last resort, since I don’t know how trustworthy it is.
I’m using a Fairphone 5 running CalyxOS 6.8.21, and Aurora Store v4.7.2, downloaded from F-Droid all features are enabled in MicroG. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Aurora
@nix i mean, i went with a Pixel because it's recommended by @GrapheneOS and that's what i run. if you can get one, i would be envious, but i hear good things about #FairPhone. also maybe check out #PinePhone
#CalyxOS stellt die Entwicklung vorübergehend ein: https://calyxos.org/news/2025/08/01/a-letter-to-our-community/
Puh, das ist echt übel.
Fairphone should make their hardware compatible with @GrapheneOS please and thank you. It would be the ultra phone. #Fairphone
How did the headphone jack fail? Honestly curious.
Headphone jacks used to be more fragile when they were made with metal springs in the olden days (not helical springs, just cantilevered metal pieces), but the last generation of headphone jack just used small pieces that deformed just enough to allow the TRRS jack to fit in snugly.
I was watching the video where the #Fairphone guys were explaining why they dropped the headphone jack from the FP4, and then Rossman's video where he ripped their excuses to shreds.
I'm not saying a headphone jack can't fail, just curious what happened to yours.
Falls es etwas gewackelt hat, ihr seid gerade auf dieses #Murena #fairphone umgezogen.
Open question: is the Fairphone (with Murena’s /e/OS) as flawed security-wise as the GraphiteOS team imply? Or is it just not ideal but good enough?

"Fairphone’s progress on core impact strategies, page 21.
Under the header "Levels of circularity: 8 R’s" are 3 shaded areas pointing to "KPI 2", "KPI 3", then "KPI 3 + 4". A banded arrow along the left bridges these areas, pointing upward. Its label is "Order of Priority" from "Low" to "High".
These point to KPI 2.
Refuse: prevent raw materials use.
Rethink: redesign product in view of circularity.
These point to KPI 3.
Reduce: decrease raw materials use.
Repair: maintain and repair product.
Refurbish: revive product.
Remanufacture: make new product from second hand.
Repurpose: re-use product but with other function.
This points to KPI 3 + 4.
Recycle: salvage material streams with highest possible value.

If that's not great alt text, idk what is.
Men okei @pilum @fivrelden og alle andre norske brukere av #eOS evt annen ikke-googla Android på #fairphone
Jeg er *så* nær å kaste Android på dør nå, men vil først sjekke status på enkelte apper/tjenester:
* BankID - yay or nay?
* Vipps - yay or nay?
* DNB Mobilbank - yay or nay?
* Fungerende alternativer til Google Wallet?
* Funker Jottacloud-appen?
Andre hensyn å ta før man plopper over?
I'd volunteer as one if I had the energy https://forum.fairphone.com/t/the-fairphone-angels-program-and-map-local-support-by-community-members/33058
Jetzt auch noch das Scharnier im Gehäuse meiner #Fairbuds von #fairphone repariert. Nimm' das, Garantieangebot!
Ich bin immer wieder überwältigt vom Glücksgefühl, eigene Sachen #reparieren zu können :-)
#Anleitung gibt's noch keine. Leider müsste ich sie jetzt nochmal kaputt machen, um eine zu schreiben. Mal schauen, ob's mich die nächsten Tage nochmal packt.
Some users have run into the unfortunate experience of a soft-bricked FP5 trying to complete this upgrade. The company is now addressing this issue here https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp5-not-booting-after-update-to-android-15/121713/102?u=urs_lesse /u
@zanagb @f4grx @osnews meanwhile #fairphone is just publishing as much stuff as they can open source and actively encourage alt rom's
