Dear All

For reboots there are two topics

• in English, Reboots after A15 upgrade
• in German, 🇩🇪 FP4 selbstständige Neustarts nach Android15 Update

For some/many users, it helped to change the display settings. For details, workarounds and to share whether it has or has not worked for you, please post there.

Just a gentle reminder that posting does not mean reporting to FP support - please open the ticket if you experience any issues

For apps being killed in the background

• FP4 (Android 15): Background apps being killed more aggressively

Now it has been mentioned in a similar topic on Android 15 for FP5 that the issue has been diagnosed and is being analysed

FP5: Android 15 killing background apps more aggressively

@all this seems to be something Android (15) specific not only affecting Fairphone, so there is not much to be done by Fairphone in this case…So FP is aware and having an eye on it, however these are deep system-level changes that Google implemented in Android 15 This isn’t unique to Fairphones. Similar issues are being reported across the Android ecosystem, even on Google’s own devices (Pixel 9 Killing Apps in Background; Pixel killing background apps ).

Have a lovely Sunday, Your Mod. M
