I will document this here, and it seems to be different to the other problems, as it is not restarting, it just turns off. Not shuting down properly, just — zapp — off. Roughly every 20 days (I will document that from now on).
I have my Fairphone 6 since 2 months and 15 days. It has shutdown three times. I had to manually turn it on again. Maybe the second time it turned itself on without interaction … I am not sure.
The three situations:
-
2025-10-16 I was trying to take a photo, using the camera app, changed from one camera to the other, fiddled around with some adjustments and then zapp, off.
-
???-??-?? I don’t remember, but I know that I was doing something completely different.
-
2025-12-01 Without any interaction, I had just woken up and had turned the flashlight on, walking around with the screen off but the flashlight on. Suddenly — zapp — phone was off.
A day later I started noticing, that after that turning off and my manual restart the battery lasts again much much longer. I hadn’t even noticed. But now I notice how super slow the battery goes down, even when I use it. It was more normal before. So maybe there was a process running all the time and finally crashing the phone somehow. Perhaps I am just imagining the reduced battery consumption; I have not measured or documented anything in this regard.
I think this is a different problem than those two, as my phone is not rebooting (just turning off) and especially not several times a day:
