I can confirm the issue, but it existed in Android 15 as well. Please see "Failed to caputre photo. Please try again." Error · Issue #14652 · signalapp/Signal-Android · GitHub for more information.
That’s generally a pain in the … in many respects, not particularly with Fairphones.
Just updated to A16 - Vibration is no longer working at all. I even downloaded Hugh Jeffery’s iTest app to confirm its not just a setting I have missed.
AFAIK all the options to enable haptic/vibration is enabled. Even typing on the keyboard no longer has any feedback.
FIXED - Find the setting under System → Keyboard → Redirect vibration send vibration to game controller when connected. Ensure it’s turned Off.
No idea why this was enabled after the update!
Thanks @PhotoPhil , I continued debugging and resetting wifi + bt to factory default seem to have solved the connection issue. I hope it will stay like this 
Same here, weird! Thanks for finding the culprit
That’s how to address this kind of problems, resetting whatever may be part of the game, AA app storage, car’s infotainment, …
Sometimes it keeps connecting for quite a while! 
This can’t be done yet, Android 16 is not uploaded yet to this site.
@Fairphone_CM … this is very unfortunate.
As far as I know, the builds are published on the website only after the staged rollout has finished. I believe this is intentional by Fairphone.
Aside the aforementioned button swap issue, I’m also noticing a degraded quality in Bluetooth audio. aptX has always been noticeably problematic, with high latency and annoying gaps, which prompted me to always switch to AAC. the news is that, on A16, AAC is also showing poor performance, with eventual silence gaps during audio playthrough. The only somewhat working option I have now is SBC, which is very frustrating.
After the last update, the icon for battery charging my Fairphone 6 has been modified graphically along with other layout changes. The battery icon is not orientated vertically anymore, but horizontally. This alone would be no problem, but the number inside the battery icon indicating the pourcentage of battery charging is so small that I cannot read it anymore, even with extra strong glasses. Hope this will adapted in the next update…
Another consequence of the Signal issue that bothers me: it is no longer possible to relink the desktop app (Windows) using a QR code…since I have deinstalled then reinstalled Signal for t’shooting, I no longer can use the desktop app…hope a fix will come soon !
The Signal issue seems to have started right after a Fairphone update, not a Signal update, but this could be a coincidence
Ha ! after having stopped and re-launched the Signal app, I was lucky and could flash the QR code fast enough before the camera freeze. Signal Desktop now works again on my Windows laptop 
Waiting for a fix less anxiously now 
The Signal issue existed with Android 15 already. Actually, that’s why I updated to Android 16 – which didn’t help, as you know
Hi @rewa sorry to hear about your struggle. 
I think this updated look for the status bar icons comes directly from Android and not from Fairphone.
It looks like there is currently no way to move the battery percentage to the side of the icon.
Have you tried adjusting the text or display scales? On my Fairphone 5 (Android 15), the display adjustment make everything (including the battery icon) bigger. But, according to a previous post on this thread, it might not work very well yet.
If you still can’t see the percentage easily, there might be a way to communicate this issue/feature request with Android but I am not sure how.
Hello,
one wonders how something like this could come through quality control (with whomever it is). The percentage display of the battery is waaaay too small. How can you not notice something like that? Is this checked by the AI? It may be that the fault lies with Google, but does that make it better?
Fairphone knows this, it came up in beta testing. It will be replaced and wasn’t a blocker for releasing the update. I think this is very fair.
Yes, here you are right.
