Hi guys, anyone else having this problem?
Since installing update 1.2.8, my FP2 has randomly switched itself off three times in the past week. Every time I have had plenty of battery (the third time it still had the charger plugged in), and I managed to resolve it by removing and replacing the battery, then I could switch it back on everything seemed normal again.
It’s a shame as this is quite a big problem for me. Would it be advisable to reverse the update perhaps?
I’m not sure if this is a problem with 1.2.8? My FP2 has rebooted twice - once before I updated the OS and once after. Really annoying - and potentially dangerous, as I was using it as a satnav at the time. When it rebooted a message said “Unfortunately the Fairphone launcher has stopped”. Is this what yours did?
Mine didn’t reboot itself, it went dead and when I noticed it had died I had to take the battery out and put it back in, then I could switch it on again and there was still battery remaining. I didn’t get any error messages or anything about the launcher, it just started working again as if nothing had gone wrong. Also really annoying as I missed my alarm one morning, luckily not dangerous for me! A friend asked it could be related to the battery, but personally I didn’t have this problem before the update.
I have had the same problem. It become worse when I started to use the dual sim, and worse still when I took the second sim out.
