Fairphone 5
Android 15
Bulld #: FP5.VT2D.C.054.20250814

I’d like to get straight to the point. Every time Bluetooth peripherals such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, Fairbuds XL, and more are connected to my Android 15 Fairphone 5, they remain connected until I disconnect them. I’ve noticed that my back button disappears, and the on-screen controls often malfunction, causing songs to repeat indefinitely, shuffle off, and play/pause to disappear altogether. Other apps also seem to be affected. Every Media Player I Use is busted at the moment.

I’ve also experienced issues with the icons disappearing. Regardless of the app I’m playing, the main system buttons remain unless I force shut down the phone. This is the only solution that works for me, and I’ve had no luck with other methods.

I’ve included some screenshots as proof. Unfortunately, I’m not able to access online streaming platforms or connect them to my phone without causing issues. In fact, I’ve had to disable remote streaming to avoid being banned from Xbox Series X, which is a frustrating experience. Just being Worried of being disconnected from an online match is the reason to avoid it for the time being.

Still having issues with my daily Driver. My phone has to be forced shut down every time I try to do anything. In order to give more information. I had to do it many times to get everything.

Don’t mind the device temperatures - any program as labor-intensive as AI, video editing, screen casting, and just playing video games can skew the numbers. Pocket Pal AI is always loaded in the background System tray. I use it a lot to correct mistakes in emails, letters, etc. A very useful tool.

Besides, I know bug reports go on this website. Buried in other articles until no replies can be posted in the report in question.
