FP6 slows down from time to time

[WilcoBoode]

I got my FP6 yesterday, managed to get all apps and content transferred, and its doing great so far.

The only issue I noticed so far is that the device slows down a lot from time to time. This takes a minute after which its fully responsive again.
I already checked the screen FPS and it will remain consistent at 90hz, so that is not the issue. It almost feels as if some background process really hogs up all memory.
The issue appeared both on the previous and the latest version of the FP6 OS.

Is there anyone with the same issue? I planned to monitor the Memory and CPU usage as well, but it would be good to hear if anyone else has seen similar issues on their device.

This sounds like an issue related to this ongoing thread regarding the refresh rate:

FP6 Refresh rate dropping seemingly random

Same as title, i suspect the adaptive refresh rate dials down to 10hz (it feels very choppy that way) when it obviously shouldn’t, cannot reproduce the issue in a reliable manner, android, build fp6 qrel 15 91 0 Additional question, the long life cable seems to charge the phone for 5 seconds, then stops and begins charging again immediately, making the charging sound over and over again every 5 seconds, does not happen with another cable

A likely fix/optimization is planned for the upcoming update in early August.

The Fairphone (Gen. 6): Upcoming Update

Hi everyone, Just a quick check-in to keep you posted on what we’ve been working on since the last time we’ve touched base. First off, big thanks again to everyone for joining the conversation, and for sharing feedback. We’re reading it all - here on the forum, on our socials, and elsewhere, and it’s already helped shape the updates we’re rolling out. The team here is hard at work and we wanted to share some of the improvements that will already be available on August 11th: Display driver & …

Yeah, I did check the framerate, and it does report a solid 90 at all times, but it might be related indeed. Let’s see if the next update fixes the issue

I have heard that for a while after the first run and after certain updates, the phone continues to do background processes to complete the configuration, and that this can last several hours or even a couple of days, also consuming more battery. In my experience with a family member’s phone (not FP), this is true: after a couple of days, it stabilized and returned to normal. I hope this will be your case and soon it will work perfectly and 100 % .

Interesting, Ive had my previous phone for 5.5 years, so i kinda forgot how that one behaved the first couple of days.

Let’s see what happens, I’ll try to give an update at a later time, make sure this thread has a proper ending as well.

Thank you for the info.
