My phone keeps turning itself off

Today my FP2 has started turning itself off all the time, even when I’m not using it, just noticing when I pick it up I have to sign with my pin code again. I’ve had the phone for three weeks. My surftime has ran out, but I have Wifi where I am, and that shouldn’t have anything to with phone turning off.

Have a look at this:

FP2 random reboots - see #rebootsguide for help

The Troubleshooting tips moved here. Original Post: Mine has started rebooting on a regular basis as well. I’ve tried a factory reset and it doesn’t seem to help. Its rebooted about 15 times today so far. Last night the touch stopped working so I couldn’t enter my pin after a reboot, it took a lot of attempts before it would respond. Bit dissapointed. Quick question, does anyone have the Peace of Mind thing on theirs? Mine doesn’t apart from once today when it randomly rebooted I could see it…

Have you installed the latest software updates already?

Also I’d like to know is there another way to save photos, have an album in the phone instead of Google? Do I need to have internet access just to see and work with my photos? Btw I think the camera is really bad quality…

When you make pictures with the default camera, the images are stored locally, on your device (in /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera). If you don’t like the Google app you can install a third party gallery to see them.

Picture viewer app: what's your choice?

Hey guys, I owned the Fairphone 1. To finance the Fairphone 2 I sold my first edition and ordered the FP2. In the meantime I borrowed a iPhone from a friend. I really liked the picture viewer app where all pictures are in a row and without different folders for every app etc. Is there an iOS-like app for android available? any suggestions?

Some people also use a third party app for making pictures and are more satisfied with the results than with making pictures with the default camera app.

Which camera apps do you use?

I’m trying to find the best solution for my photographic needs and tried some of the available options. None of them is satisfying me completely, so I thought some of you could share their experience. The options: Preinstalled Google Camera Comes preinstalled on the FPOS and provides a limited amount of settings. Pros very stable nice UI Cons closed source can’t use volume buttons for zooming Available on F-Droid FreeDcam Libre Camera Open Camera In this forum it’s often discussed as a go…

Also note that some software updates improved the image quality.
