At first glance I almost could not believe my eyes: After more than 15 months, this major issue has finally been solved. Personally I had lost hope, but - hey! - this is amazing.
I can definitely confirm that for me, this fix has significantly improved the battery consumption of the display. Thatās in particular because I use the app LED Blinker due to the undesired loss of AoD. Now I can actually live with charging only to 80% and still have enough battery life left in the evening, which did not work for me before the latest update.
So as you have successfully solved the display issue - please bring AoD back so that we can use the native Android feature instead of all kinds of workarounds.
And in case you didnāt notice it before: The green tint when holding the phone at an angle has also disappeared. And I would like to refer to a video on youtube, where a fairphone employee wanted to destroy this error, which a ātesterā published in a fairphone test, with the words āI donāt know how āyouā normally hold a cell phoneā¦ā and ended with uncomprehending smile. Comedy Gold like Appleās ā You hold it wrong-Meme!
After barely getting through the day with my FP2 in the past I was happy to find that the FP5 went longer with one charge but it still wasnāt amazing compared to other smartphones. With this change you seem to have made a huge step forward in that aspect, im writing this on my phone that was charged to 100% the day before yesterday (finished charging at 11:30 AM) and it currently still has 31% left. So thatās more than two days with my usage. Thanks, keep that spirit up, fix more issues and make the FP5 an even better phone
Fairphoneās firmware with this fix will also appear in the next update of LineageOS 22 for FP5 (probably on 11 Feb, since current update was yesterday on Feb 4)
