  I’ve been using a FP6 for over a month and I have no idea what you could be referring to

    Sometimes after using the camera, the taken photos will just disappear.

    Often my screen will freeze up and the ohone becomes entirely unresponsive until I turn the screen off and on again.

    Sometimes the screen won’t even turn on at all and will then suddenly unlock and register every single swipe and tap I made on the off screen registers at once.

    Then sometimes when idle the phone will just randomly crash and reboot.

    A genuinely awful experience I have to say.

      I think you should send it in for warranty, if you still have it.

        I don’t think it’s worth it. A lot of these issues are well known on the Fairphone forums so they’re clearly not specific to my phone. The second I find a suitable replacement I think I’m done. I like the idea of a Fairphone but they’re on their sixth device now and still can’t manage stable software.

      Weird. Which model and OS is this happening on?

        Fairphone 6, stock Android 15.

    Fairphone 5 for ~ 1 1/2 years. Not a single bug encountered…

    I keep reading comments like this though. Are people just expecting too much?

      I don’t think it’s expecting a phone to not crash constantly and actually save the photos I’m taking.

  You can install iode on a Fairphone. I was using iode for years without issues. I would be surprised if it had many bugs specific to Fairphone.

    That’s awesome to hear! I’m currently running iode on a OnePlus11 and the built-in firewall and metwork monitoring is awesome! I don’t even use the paid version. Maybe I’ll give fairphone a try next.

    I might have to give it a try. I used CalyxOS on my old Pixel 7 and loved it so I’m hoping that will be an option once they’re back up and running.
