Phone freezes after latest update

[Stef1]

Hi, since the update my phone does a ‘tunnel vision’ blurred screen and freezes. It then takes a reboot to get it back.
Anyone else?

Take a look at the following thread. Do those symptoms match yours? Could you post some screenshots of your ‘blurred screen’?

After android 13 upgrade FP4 freezes

Hello. I downloaded and installed the Android 13 upgrade to my Fairphone 4 yesterday, and since then the phone has frozen several times. After repeatedly pressing the power button, I have managed to restart the phone, but at one point I thought I was going to have to remove the battery. Is this a common problem, and does anyone know if it’s being addressed?

Maybe try disabling 5G and see if it still happens. (Just an educated guess, since 5G has caused a bunch of issues on FPs recently.)

I have more or less same issue. I don’t have a blurred screen. But my FP4 freezes multiple times a day. Sometimes waiting a couple of hours fixes it. But usually I take the battery out to restart.

Did you already try this?

Hello,

I have a problem with calls in the car after the update for a FP4. The phone put it on ‘‘silence mode’’ but thats not what i want. I would like to make calls in the car.

Do you have suggestions? Calling with whatsapp in de car is possible…

Greetings

Do you use auto-rotate? Some got rid of freezes with turning auto-rotate off.
