Thanks for reporting all these issues. Overall please refrain from writing such issue summaries, to avoid duplication, kindly rather (as you also did) add your voice to existing topics.

Adaptive brightness switch is buried in settings

We addressed this in the beta group and have been informed that this in no AOSP feature. So they are looking into it, however its no bug actually, so might not be no. 1 priority.

@mellifluous

Location Accuracy causes reboots. A serious pain because some apps demand that it be turned on, making those apps somewhat useless. Not specifically in this release, obviously, but a massive on-going problem.

This issue related to north america only is discussed here and it seems after the released fix, the issue is not fixed completely but no longer as wide spread as before.

FP6 Restart the phone to load the corresponding configuration - 15.148.0 - US/Canada

And I just had it reboot twice. I was driving at the time so I didn’t see the screen when it happened, but I suspect it’s the same Location Accuracy issue we had before. In the latest Android 15 release, I had Location Accuracy turned on and it was stable, but considering we are seeing other regressions (the android auto one at least) I suspect we’re seeing another one with the location accuracy. (I have now turned off Location Accuracy again just to be safe)

@mellifluous

Swiftkey loses its ability to do auto prediction and auto capitalization once in a while. Killing the app, and restarting it (Signal in this case) fixes the problem (I did not file an issue for this because I’m getting a bit weary of filing issues… I’m not Fairphone QA… but I probably should

Thats for me a rather low priotiry one, as it affects 2 third party apps. I dont think I noticed this using Heliboard.

@mellifluous

AOD turns on overtop of apps that are running the screen – I have a clock that I put on at night, and when the screen locks, both the clock and the AOD are displayed and the brightness changes because of the AOD

That might be very specific with this third party app, thus rather not high priority.

@mellifluous

The AOD no longer shows the media being played.

Thats discussed here

Media player not showing on AOD after latest A16 update

When I have my screen turned off, it doesn’t show the media player, although the clock acts like it does, while no notifications are shown. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I’ve tried everything in terms of notifications, media and vibration and the display settings I have the Fairphone 6 with android 16

@mellifluous

Android Auto frame rate issues unless the screen is on

Thats discussed here

Android Auto: Low framerate when phone display is turned off

Yup. I’m seeing the same. I logged it here.

@mellifluous

Audiobooks have audio that drop out at seemingly random times. I’ve been dealing with this one for a year, assumed it was the app, but found that it actually happens in multiple audio book apps. It does not happen in spotify or rocket player.

Using headphones, speakerphone, Bluetooth and which app?

@mellifluous

Adaptive brightness continually pushes itself to the lowest brightness in dark situations, which is new behaviour and requires turning off the adaptive brightness, whereby it used to just be fixed by manually adjusting the brightness.

please see here for a tip to use an app to bring it back to quick settings
