My contract does includes 5G but I stay on 4G because 5G sucks: it’s either fast - but not much faster than 4G - or it suddenly becomes dog-slow (as in kB/s slow) for no good reason and without warning, and it won’t recover, so I have to disconnect and reconnect mobile data.
After 3 times waiting for an email that wasn’t coming through because the damn data link had gone full Stephen Hawking, I got tired of it and switched back to 4G. It’s a bit slower, but the speed is constant and reliable.
Yes, the issue it’s still there anyway.
For “mitigate a little bit” I mean that it takes more time to dim, probably because 4G generates less heat then 5G in the hardware module.
Unfortunately. The auto dimming of the screen has not been fixed. regardless of whether there is brightness in the machine or not. this disqualifies FP4 in sunny weather. the screen becomes hard to read, google maps in a car with an illegible FP4 screen is a big problem.
In the sun and even in the shadow I find the brightness of the screen too low, making it hard to read.
Settings are on auto and 100%.
Is there any way to increase the brightness?
pls. scroll up to get some info on this software bug which exists since the android 12 update. it probably affects all FP4 but maybe many people don’t recognize it as bug. I as well only understood why I sometimes have trouble seeing the screen after I stumbled upon the posts here.
I read everything. I have this error since the beginning of using FP. before installing the new update. I sent a request to FP. They apologize for the inconvenience and say they are working on it.
I don’t think it’s relevant, the fix is from March 2022 and we would had noticed if somebody had already fixed the problem 16 months ago… The Iodé team would had told Fairphone about it, wouldn’t they.
Most likely another, similar-sounding bug (didn’t have my FP4 yet at that time, so I don’t know what it could had been).
