Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!
balsoft@lemmy.ml 14 hours agoFairphones are probably not daily-able for now, sadly. E.g. on FP4 GPS doesn’t work at all and there are issues with charging/battery reporting AFAIR. OnePlus 6 is definitely more promising ATM, but there are camera issues and you need to do a weird reflashing dance to get GPS to work. Otherwise it’s… passable as a daily phone.

Battery fuel guage is almost ready for FP4 at least:

And there has been recent successes by the same guy (employed at Fairphone) on getting cameras working (main post of the thread linked above).
These are recent improvements, and I really hope they can solve the audio stability and GPS stuff so I can move. Thinking of trying out Ubuntu Touch before a mainline distro is ready.

Ooh, cool! Might be my new phone when the current one cacks or Android becomes completely unusable.
