Dear Community, Tonight, June 1, we will start rolling out a new software update for the Fairphone 4. This will be a staged rollout, so you may not receive it right away. Software Version Information: Model: Fairphone 4/ FP4 OS Version: Android 15 Software Version: FP4.QREL.15.17.2.20260…

Woohoo :tada: “Optimized background process management for smoother multitasking” Could someone confirm (or not) that this issue is now fixed? Thanks in advance :smiling_face::folded_hands: edit: as this update is a staged rollout, my phone do not propose it by now… just a matter of time! …

Please check and confirm in the topic [image] FP4 (Android 15): Background apps being killed more aggressively Fairphone 4 Its fixed with this update

Check again at :clock6: 18:00. Probably no one will get it earlier.

Installed smoothly and with no issues.

Installed without issues, but too early to tell if it really fixed the background task issues. Amazingly, this update was available right away. :partying_face: Before this I was still on the Jan security update like many Proximus users.

Apparently background process management has been fixed for me. Amazing that Fairphone did a release basically just to fix this issue (apart from the security patch and the couple of minor things). Many many thanks, appreciate the effort. :folded_hands:

Got notified by support of this update. It was available and update process worked fine. Unfortunately it didn’t fix the issue of the previous update 15.16.1 killing the phone’s USB-Data capabilities.
