After android 13 upgrade FP4 freezes

Help Fairphone 4
69

I found another workaround without even disabling the autorotation:

If the screen does not come up again, turn the FP4 into landscape-orientation and the screen goes on again…

Useful thread here, thank you. I’ve had the freeze twice in the last month, so came here to check for similar; the hardware seems to respond (I can hear the fingerprint sensor) but the screen is black. I had to take out the battery each time - I was long pressing to force a restart but not that long! I’ll try 15s next time. I’ve disabled auto-rotate in the meantime to try to avoid it recurring at all - good tip.
(I’m getting an alert that “this topic has been solved” as I type this - is the issue supposedly fixed?)

As far as I know, the only ‘fix’ is the workaround of turning off autorotate. The workaround mentioned above of just turning the screen to landscape orientation doesn’t work for me.

If it still doesn’t work then try pressing power + vol-down (for 15s).

Hello everybody,

I am not sure if it stays that way, but since the new update I haven’t had any screen freezes with auto-rotate turned on.

Any other experiences?

UPDATE: No more screen freezing issues since the update. The problem seems to be fixed.

UPDATE2: After a good week without issues, my screen froze today. It was a combination of Chrome, screen rotation and the screen turning off and on. The solution to rotate the phone to landscape to unfreeze the screen worked once, but after the screen went off again and the freezing reoccurred only shutting the phone down helped.

No, the problem is not solved for me.
I still have problems with it, even if it feels a bit rarer.

Same here. The update stops the freeze happening every hour or so, but it still happens once or twice a day if auto-rotate is on.

I have also the same problem on my FP4.
