Hi! Since the update to Android 15, the system is much more aggressive in killing background apps. For example, I’ve been using x-plore (highly recommended) for years to schedule backups. Since the update, these scheduled copy operations are no longer reliable, because the app apparently gets stopp…

[image] Software Update: FP5.VT2P.C.089.20260311 mobile_phone_with_arrow :hammer_and_wrench: Resolved issues: :hammer_and_wrench: Optimized background process management for smoother multitasking Check for the new update rolling out tonight

It’s only been out for a few days, and not even all beta testers have received the update yet. A little more patience (a virtue that every Fairphone enthusiast should possess) and the FP5 will become a pleasure to use. Hopefully.

Your voice in the ear of thy flying spaghetti monster. I would celebrate sooo much. Next phone for my wife should have been a fairphone 6, out of ideological reasons only. But I would get killed with the bare phone if she would experience what I are experiencing right now for what feels like a de…

Just a short update: The problem still doesn’t occur on /e/. I have flawlessly installed 3 OTA updates meanwhile. Even “minor” bugs have been fixed quickly. They are doing a great job. I did have my music app stop something like 3 times in those last months (before it was like every 10min during a …

I had the same problem. Since I started running SDMaid every day, my Fairphone is usable again. Just a tip.

I was cautious because in the past, a restart, a new update or a new settings helped very tomporaryly before the background killing starts again. But after installing the update this afternoon until now, everything works and there is no quitting of background processes anymore. Maybe the problem is …

So far works for me as well, hopefully it is indeed resolved.

Works good so far. When I continued an open App this morning and switched to the Homescreen, it needed two, three Seconds. But in daily use, it works good. Thanks!

It feels like I have a new phone. I can switch between 2 or 3 apps now, what a relief! Thank you to the devs and the team for the update. It’s been a rough year but at least now we’re good to go. And I can finally recommend the FP5 again :grin:
