D'autres utilisateurs de /e/OS ont des problèmes récurrents de GPS? J'ai toujours eu des soucis avec MagicEarth qui subitement ne détectait plus mon GPS, ou d'autres applications qui me plaçaient à Lille (je vis dans les alpes..)
J'avais trouvé des parades et contournais ce bug.. Sauf que cela empire de puis la dernière màj.. À deux doigts de jeter l'éponge et changer d'OS

J'utilise OnePlus3T avec Prixtel sur le réseau orange

I haven't bought a brand new phone since the #OnePlus3, which was ... 2016 I guess, when it came out. Still, only four years, so a bit allergic to the idea of buying a brand new phone. While a mobile device has become one of the most critical things in many peoples life (mine certainly!), they're hugely damaging to the #environment. Not just because of the metals that go into them, but due to the way they're designed to be discarded and replaced by the big manufacturers. They are not designed to be home repairable and often not even shop repairable. Often you either stop getting software updates (leaving you potentially exposed to security issues) or you get completely renewed software, which is heavier than at the time you bought your device, thus giving a worsening experience.

This is why I've been hesitant into buying a brand new phone. Except if that phone was something that was designed around different principles. Designed to be yours - repairable, flashable and built to last.

There have been some options, like the #Fairphone, which gets a lot of extra credit for their model of fairly sourced parts. #PinePhone is another good example. Unfortunately both those are more on the budget side in terms of hardware, which has stopped me from getting one. Then came up #Fxtec with their Pro 1 and now Pro 1 X. When I first saw their device earlier in the year I instantly fell in love due to the fact that it's basically a #Nokia N900 but with #Android. Downside: no scandinavian keyboard layout, so it was a pretty big no no for getting one.

With the Pro 1 X they've thankfully added not only a scandinavian layout, but also more RAM to make it last longer. While the hardware is not open like on Fairphone/PinePhone, the software very much is. It ships flashable by design and with a choice of #LineageOS or #UbuntuTouch (with dual-boot coming!). For repairabiilty, they don't use glue like the big manufactuers, making things easy to tear down and put back together, like a laptop. The battery is home replacable. All in all, hopefully this could make a phone for a long time.

So I jumped on the IndieGoGo campaign and managed to get myself on the "pre-early bird" 8GB/256GB model tracks. Hopefully it wont be too much later than promised as the phone is already production ready and it's not their first phone. Interesting detail from the campaign - the phone will only be sold during the next 46 days. Those who buy it get their phone and that's it. This feels like a fair promise considering the amount of people that seem to have bought the original Pro 1 but have had to wait a long time to get it. Being a small producer I would imagine it's probably easier to ship an X amount of phones and then just close shop for that model instead of taking in a constant trickle of orders.

Great interview with the team in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw4B1H4h39I

(yeah, haven't been this excited about hardware since the Ubuntu Touch days 😅)

So my #OnePlus3 broke. I thought it was just power or battery, but the repair shop man noticed the whole screen is coming off and apparently it's a no go for repairing, and probably explains the instability. I have another One Plus 3 I've now used as backup, but that has a broken camera, which apparently can't be repaired (some kind of common fault in the model).

So, I found a new second hand #phone, a #Nokia 7 plus. Need to keep a "plus" in the name, right? :)

I now realize I dislike the stock #Android a lot and I miss the #OxygenOS of the One Plus phones. Any recommendations for the best ROM to install on the Nokia 7 plus?

Also the fingerprint reader being at the back is going to take some time getting used to. Otherwise feels quite ok as a phone and hopefully will last me for a while.

Bets place to get a phone repaired in #Helsinki?

My #OnePlus3 stopped charging and is completely dead, probably power/battery issue, so might be repairable. Had a look at what current phones are on offer and to be honest, there isn't much of anything out there I'd be willing to spend money or resources on. A PinePhone would be nice, but it's kinda lacking in the hardware side :/ The OP3 has still been serving me well even after all these years and does all I need.

@Torque
Spricht ja nicht gegen das #Oneplus3 - da wird ja noch aktiv dran gewerkelt und man kann auch noch vorerst LOS15 nutzen. Wenn man sich gezielt für ein #LineageOS-Device entscheiden will, muss man immer schauen, wie aktiv in dem jeweiligem Repo daran gearbeitet wird. Dann wird die Liste an geeigneten Geräten auch sehr kurz...
