Before that they could start communicating what in the world is taking so long for the bugs to be fixed.
I’ve had my FP4 for three years now and I went from “This is the best phone I’ve ever had and I’m happy for leaving Google and Apple” to “This is the worst phone I’ve ever had and I won’t be buying another Fairphone ever again” very quickly. I live in Sweden and I read a lot on Swedish forums, and let’s just say that Fairphone won’t be winning this country over anytime soon.
I can live with the security updates being behind schedule. What I can’t live with are the frustrating bugs and poorly thought out decisions.
Is AOD causing an unexpected battery drain? Just remove a feature that was advertised with no way of getting it back.
Are users tired of the bugs? Change the logo.
A delay in Android 14 for FP4? Announce it in a FP5 thread and don’t change the actual support page for it for several months. Also, don’t inform us beta testers at all in any way.
