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…

The reasons why I switched from the FP2 to the FP3+ have I already told in the forum: [image] uk de Why I switched from FP2 to FP3+ The Products uk I switched from the Fairphone 2 to the Fairphone 3+. That was already on the 30th of December 2020. Why that? Performance-wi…

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. The battery draining issue doesn’t happen ALWAYS, but just SOMETIMES. I suppose switching…

Dear fellow sufferers, I’m very glad this topic was started, as I was considering doing so myself. My issues with my FP2 are, in order of most annoying: Alarm freezes: I use the default alarm app to remind me of my commitments, but if I don’t switch off an alarm within 5 seconds of it starting, …

[image] Constantinopolitana: shutdowns obviously occur several times per day … In 50 % of the cases, the touch screen doesn’t react to touches when the FP2 is called back to life. Oh my gosh, you’ve reminded me of a problem I used to have and completely forgot about because of all the new pro…

That’s something I regularly do!
