Android 15 is Now Rolling Out to Fairphone 4! 📲 (FP4.QREL.15.14.3.20250923)

If I have more than 3 apps open at the same time, basically everything I put to the background gets killed. Had to type in some form multiple times because I needed Google to get an address and my password manager for obvious reasons and that was already too much it seems.

It killed my local git three times already as I put it into the background and then git was stuck in an erroneous state until I deleted that repo and pulled it fresh.

Everything is kind of slower as with A14 too.

And to top it all off, sometimes with the three button navigation, the square does not work and I can’t completely close apps. Rebooting the phone fixes that temporarily, but that’s not a real solution.

I have the same issue.

It happens when the camera app is closed to quickly (independent whether the phone is locked or unlocked). Then images are not saved but only the empty file is created.

When opening the camera app again. It is often stuck and can’t access the camera hardware. Then I need to close and reopen the camera app.

This could also be a side-effect of the new problem with Android 15 killing background apps more aggressively.

=> When taking photos: keep the app open for a second.
