I had been very satisfied with my FP3+ for the first couple of weeks, but since then it has become a source of enormous frustration.
First, the standard camera app failed and lost several days worth of photos and video.
So I installed Open Camera, and that seemed to work much better for about a week, and now that has also failed. Curiously, most of the photos I took using that app are still available through the Google Photos app.
I removed Open Camera and tried to reinstall it, but I get a message that there is “insufficient storage” to download the app.
When I try to use File Manager to find the image files, I cannot even see the SD card, and when I try to take screenshots I also get “Can’t save screenshot due to limited storage space”…
This makes me think that the FP3+ has, for some unidentified reason, decided to no longer read from or write to the SD card.
I’m very annoyed and frustrated at spending almost €500 on this device for it to be so unfinished. If this problem cannot be fixed, I’ll be sending it back for a refund.
I might as well spend €500 on an unethical phone from a big-name manufacturer and offset the financing of armed conflict in Central Africa by sending a €50 donation to a humanitarian group.
