Requests to Fairphone

This is what I will send to [MENTION=5382171]joemier[/MENTION] / Fairphone. Just a short sentence with a link to the origin message to get all the background.

If you see anything worth to mention (wrong link, forgotten some requests...), don't hesitate!

I'll collect the stuff and if it is not maybe solved by another XDA member - and please let me know that (PM or separate post) - , I'll send it on next Monday.

Current requests to Fairphone - still collecting... (forwarding on xx xxx 2014)

Recent requests to Fairphone

Requests to Fairphone #8 - (forwarded on Monday, 26 May 2014)

When can AOSP users expect our first update? What FP OS update will it be based on?

If the Fairphone was made 1mm thicker in order to have the glass of the display easily exchangeable, why is it glued on like on any other smartphone, thus forcing the users to exchange the entire display assembly? (asked twice)

Please allow for a considerable amount of time for users to give feedback, prior to a final release of your repartitioning solution. Also, please make this solution optional so users have the option not to modify the partition structure (for whatever reason) without being locked out from future OS updates.

Requests to Fairphone #7 - (forwarded on Monday, 21 Apr 2014, probably sending error, resent on Thursday, 24 Apr 2014)

Working kernel sources: The kernel sources that Fairphone has published do not work. The compiled kernel reboots with a blue screen. Please provide information how to build the kernel correctly or provide working sources. (very well known problem)

Requests to Fairphone #6 - (forwarded on Tuesday, 08 Apr 2014)

Tap triggers swipe (aka sensitive screen) "Hyper-sensitive-touchscreen"

Requests to Fairphone #5 - (forwarded on Tuesday, 18 Mar 2014)

...the issue is with numbers that have no country code (and could be only numbers starting with 0151). So a number stored like 0151 1234567 shows chinese signs on the right, a number like +49 151 1234567 shows "Deutschland". (confirmed)

Requests to Fairphone #4 - (forwarded on Tuesday, 11 Mar 2014)

Feature request: FP-OS Improvement: Integrate "Your Apps" to the "EdgeSwipe Menu" (including figure)

Information request about update policy: I would really like to know what the latest information is in regard of prolonged software support. (any news about Android updates?)

I can confirm that a lot of the stability issues go away if you deactivate the 'mood background'.

Requests to Fairphone #3 - (forwarded on Tue, 25 Feb 2014)

Has anyone seen an issue with the volume slider, which does not disappear on its own? I heard, that sometimes, if you change the volume with the volume rocker, the slider appears (not transparent) and does not disappear unless the display is switched off and on again. (confirmed 1, confirmed 2 and more, could be corresponding with the mood background, workaround confirmed)

Translation, German: IIRC, the resolution setting for the camera in German uses a mixture between "Megapixel" and "Millionen Pixel".

Translation, German: In German: Systemeinstellungen -> Speicher -> Telefonspeicher löschen: "Löscht sämtliche Daten... aus dem Telefonspeicher", not "von der Telefonspeicher"

Tap triggers swipe (aka sensitive screen) ...try to tap on a button (or link) and instead of triggering the button the fairphone starts scrolling. (confirmed 1, confirmed 2, also confirmed in Fairphone forum)

When on charger, Notification won't be shown. It shoul be possivle to start blinking or something else than.

Requests to Fairphone #2 - (forwarded on Monday, 10 Feb 2014)

MediaTek driver source code still incomplete / not open / not developer friendly

Power Measurement (related to the well known 14% battery bug)

Requests to Fairphone #1 - (forwarded on Monday, 03 Feb 2014)

It would be really nice though to have the option to start recording without having to press the menu button. Think it would be possible to include this function in an update? (prohibited generally by law in some countries, e. g. Germany STGB § 201)

How will the Fairphone users on AOSP get the updates?

Display problems with touch recognition (touch is like swipe) (confirmed)

Google Device Manager not working after update

Battery at 14%

Serial number bug prevents navigation app from working properly (confirmed)

Twitter and Facebook app forgetting login data after reboot (confirmed, still not working)

Device freezes sometimes (users would provide logfiles) (confirmed)
