Going to ask FairPhone for a cleaning kit for their phones too - or at least some best practices and advice on how to keep phones sanitized. Part of the longevity of using electronics is an easy way to keep them clean. The ear speaker grill of the FairPhone3 collects gunk a little too easily and it's hard to get it out.

I upgraded the camera hardware in my @fairphone

1 min read

Pretty proud that I was able to replace the camera modules in my 3 with the latest camera upgrades.

It is really awesome how Fairphone made a truly up-gradable phone possible and they made it really easy to take apart the phone.

The process does require steady hands and some nerve to execute. Detaching the screen from the frame was exciting. You need to get everything to "click" and not "break".

Everything came apart as planned and taking out the old modules and putting in the new was no issue. I did forget to take away one of the blueish protective covers of the front-facing camera module, after I had put the phone back together. So I had the exercise of taking apart the phone twice.

Followed the instructions from Fairphone themselves

The old modules are on their way to IFixit in Stuttgart Germany for refurbishment or recycling.

If Fairphone can support a 5-year-old handset, the other vendors could too. Right?

Comment Fairphone is a tiny player in the smartphone space. Unusually, it competes on the basis of its environmental credentials, touting an ethical supply chain and modular components designed to be easily replaced by end users.

A green new deal for electronics? - Fairphone

" the consumer. You’re the one resisting the toxic culture of buying the latest version of every gadget. You’re the one petitioning, campaigning and voting for legislation that improves the lot of the many, rather than the few. You’re the one who demands fairer production and improved working conditions. You’re the one putting your money where your mouth is by buying longer-lasting products to reduce CO2 emissions from manufacturing. You are a powerful force for good – and we’re honored to have your support."

Wouldn't it be cool to organize an Urban Mining Workshop in Düsseldorf some day soon?

LineageOS – LineageOS Android Distribution

Interesting to test some day if this OS can work on my Fairphone 3

Just a quick note to share that I ditched the Nokia 8110 4g and got myself a @Fairphone 3. The Nokia was too limited for what I usually need a smart phone for. And I really support what stands for. Going to test the Nokia as a portable wifi Hotspot for the car.

@Fairphone In light of the recycling program: Can I send you a phone with a totally cracked display, but can still be switched on and still participate to the recycling cash-back program? https://www.fairphone.com/en/recycle-your-phone/
