Dear fellow sufferers, what would be, for you, criteria to abandon your FP2? Mine becomes slower and slower (no SD card, I emptied my storage and deleted a lot of apps), reboots frequently, the screen freezes after reboots and sometimes also without reboot (manipulating the proximity sensor does n…

Dear Amoun, Chopino, Alex, Spooky Cat and TW8Punk, thanks again for your detailed and friendly responses. Very much appreciated. I think there is some part of stubbornness in this insistence (mine, yours, ours) to continue using an old, increasingly unreliable appliance, instead of giving up and t…

and TW8punk: Yes, the FP2 has a headphone socket!

[image] Constantinopolitana: I purchased my screen and replaced it myself. But coping with its various backfalls and breakdowns is somehow trying. Yes that is a bind. Luckily I’m only 18 months into an FP3+ lets see how I fare in another 4 years with it.

Thanks! I just read the reasons for switching from FP2 to FP3+. Concerning the videoconference issue - I won’t unmount my new camera and install the old one; I threw that away because it didn’t work any more.

Hi Ant0kneeguy, THAT was a response. Left me flabbergasted and open-mouthed :slight_smile: But when reading through your list of complaints, I find that at least 50 % of them are also applicable for my phone. And then I could add some 10 other, which are not identical with those you list. Isn’t th…
