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

Same issues with my FP4 (FP4.QREL.15.14.3). An app switch kills immediately the previous app. 2fa apps are mostly not usable anymore. Pictures with 0 bytes und audio apps are randomly killed after a few minutes. The issue is there for months, but no real communication from the fairphone company. Android 13 was also smoother than android 15. The FP4 hardware is ok in 2026, but the software keep going worse.

FP is working on a patch should your issue not be resolved afterwards best is to contact support.

Photo's not saving

This is being discussed in the main FP4 Android 15 announcement. Just don’t lock the phone or leave the photo app right after taking the picture. Give it a few seconds to save the image before doing something else. Of course, this is a workaround, not a solution.
