Fairphone's next chapter starts now

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.
