Need objective informations about everyday life with a fairphone2

[JeroenH]

I use Bluetooth (AAC) daily with Spotify during commute, and at work. It works well though it depends per headset. In general I got good connectivity. It even keeps working when I go grab a coffee so I don’t have to talk to co-workers. though my previous Bluetooth speakers were terrible. I kept losing connection whilst at Amsterdam Central Station.

LTE connectivity gets slightly worse over time due to silver being used. Gotta clean the contacts every once in a while to remove the corrosion.

If you use XPosed, you can’t disable it with the key combination while the phone boots. The solution is to put the disabler on the SD card ahead of time and just flashing that with the recovery when you have a bootloop. I installed 14 mods, most of them not even made for this Android version, and only had one bootloop so far. If you just install the standard stuff like GravityBox or Scoop, you should have no problems like that.

Are you using Xposed on Android 9? If so, where did you install it from? The version in F-Droid seems to be updated 1 year ago.

I installed Magisk from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
And then I selected XPosed as one of the modules. It was last updated in May.
Another one is “Blobmoji”, in case you don’t like the new emoji.
