Hi all,
My 3+ years old FP1 (1st batch) started acting weirdly lately. I have been dealing with unwanted reboots, battery level drops and other occasional freezes, but these seem to be the “normal” behavior of the FP1. Now I’m experiencing a far more annoying problem:
every app I try to open closes immediately, I can’t access to anything but the home screen, no settings, no phone, no apps, no contacts… I noticed today that the thin blue line that usually appears when you press the home button (navigation bar at the bottom) was actually flashing as if I was spamming the home button. This even prevents me from rebooting the phone. It’s not all the time though, it just goes weird for a few hours then back to normal.
more info:
- storage update done, OS updates all done (4.2.2)
- using 2 sim cards + a 64 go memory card
- changed the battery for a new one about a year ago because the old one was swelling (still big drops in battery level)
- never dropped the phone or exposed it to intense heat/humidity, screen in good condition (a few scratches, but no crack)
Has anyone been experiencing the same thing? Could it have something to do with the hardware? Do you think I should try a hard reset?
Thanks
