A few weeks ago I finally received my FP3 and after a while of playing around with it I have a few findings/issues to share (none of which I could find already mentioned/discussed here in the forums). Maybe someone can confirm them and, if so, add them to the post that’s gathering all the hardware and software issues:
-
Most annoyingly, the phone doesn’t seem to turn itself on when there’s an alarm set. For me, the alarm only seems to ring when the phone is either turned on or off but charging.
-
There’s a nice “auto-activate WiFi when close to good-quality networks” in Android. With FP3, this doesn’t seem to work for 5 GHz networks. At home I have both a 2.4 and 5 GHz network. If I just save the 5 GHz network in my phone’s network profiles, the WiFi is >never< turned on automatically when I’m at home. If I replace the 5 GHz with the 2.4 one, it always works and connects to this network. Assuming I save both networks, it works but connects first to 2.4, then after a while switches to the 5 GHz network… Very strange behavior.

Why doesn’t FP3 support the “adaptive battery” feature of Android 9? Even when I go to the “Device Health Services” app in the Google Play store, which I think is used by “adaptive battery”, it says m device isn’t compatible with this version. Why?

When the battery saver is on, some apps (like the dialer) switch to dark mode. Assume you have a light theme by default, then battery saver turns on and at some point you switch off your phone and charge it. When you unplug it and switch it on again, then apps still are in dark mode. Even toggling the theme setting in the setting app doesn’t help. The only thing that helps is to turn battery saver on and off again.
