was the phone in fact shipped to me with a signed /e/os ?
No - all /e/ OS phones would have bootloader unlocked and /e/ OS not signed by our keys. Otherwise it will not boot. However it does have the original /e/ OS build.
Yes, please !
It would be soooooo awesome !
I just got my 2e with /e/ preinstalled today, and while I was prepared not to be able to charge with USB C to USB C, I cannot seem charge the phone at all, either with Samsung or Apple USB A chargers and a USB A to USB C cable, or by plugging that cable into a (plugged in) laptop USB A port. Am I missing something? Is there any difference between USB A to USB C cables that would affect charging (the one I have is new, but not the specific one from this post). Does anyone have the exact voltage/current values of the Teracube charger that they can share? Iād buy one, but theyāre all sold out.
I am currently using a Moto G4 Play that I rooted and installed /e/ on myself, and I am a big fan of the operating system and the partnership with Teracube. I think itās great that Teracube doesnāt automatically inlcude a charger, exceptā¦ this is like the one device Iāve gotten in the last decade that actually needed one, so Iām struck by the irony there.
Hey @ecs. Iām using a Samsung EP-TA200 adapter that originally came with my Galaxy S9! The output values on the adapter are 9.0v/1.67A or 5.0v/2.0A. A real Samsung adapter (not compatible) can be had for around $12 on Amazon. Good luck!

Thanks! So far, I have tried EP-TA12JWE and EP-TA50JWE Samsung chargers, and they do not work.
5V/2A works flawlessly iirc.
I use a Xiaomi charging brick and it works great
I can confirm.
Thanks @Gagan and mcmd - after some back and forth with Tech Support, we think I actually have a faulty USB-C port, so Iām going to exchage for a new phone. Turns out finding a good charger might not be as hard as I thought! It was a frustrating start to using the phone, but at least I hadnāt transferred everything over yet.
Iāll add your chargers to the list I started.
Installed /e/ 0.18 earlier this week, and just updated to 0.19. Really happy with the experience so far !
Only two things Iāve noticed are :
-
Tap To Wake seems stuck On, regardless of if I disable it in the settings. Thereās a thread about this on the /e/ forums : Can't disable tap to wake - #20 by CPacaud - Teracube - /e/ community
-
I donāt have the option of setting a maximum battery charge anymore (I used to set it to 80%).
Does anyone else have issues with the default browser being reset after restart? I have Brave installed and after every restart the default reverts back the stock browser.
Thatās an interesting phenomenon. Have you tried Bromite, which is what the default /e/ browser is based from? I use it regularly and have not experienced the issue you raise. May be worth a try. Good luck!
I have used stock Bromite and the DuckDuckGo browser, and with neither does the OS revert to the default browser after reboot. Iām waiting to see what happens when I install an update, though.
Recent versions of Brave seemed to fix this.
