My two-year-old FP is exhibiting some strange behaviour: It reboots on its own, both while in use and while idle (I’ll take it out of my pocket and find it’s in the process of rebooting). This happens sometimes several times in quick succession, sometimes not at all for a few days. It sometimes do…

I posted about this same issue the other day. My reboots are generally very quick though. The unresponsiveness occasionally is only solved by removing the battery. It seems there are quite a few who are having this issue now.

For reference: [image] Black screen and shutting down Fairphone 1 Hi, increasingly in the past few weeks I’m struggling to get my phone working from the black screen. Sometimes it will light up first go, sometimes it takes a couple taps of the power button. Other times I …

So I’m still having problems, despite a new battery and a factory/hard reset. Battery life is much better now - thank you! But still getting random reboots. They appear to be linked to apps updating (all different apps) because when it happens there is a download of an update that comes once it is b…

A hard reset usually rules out any software related issues (OS is reverted to unmodified status). The power button can be repaired . If you don’t want to do this yourself, contact a #localrepairshop .

Fairly convinced it isn’t the power button. Or at least it isn’t JUST the power button. When I’m on my home screen, click on an app and it spontaneously reboots that is not the power button. But I’m at a loss to think of what would be causing it??

I had similar issues. I deleted the Facebook app and I have not noticed the reboots in a couple days. I have been accessing it through the browser. I can’t say that is definitely it and I don’t use other apps like snapchat to know if they are linked.

I took the phone apart and physically checked and dusted the hardware. No difference. I then did a full factory reset. No difference. After reading more widely, I concluded that this issue is a basic problem of new versions of apps not working on what is now a really old version of Android. As …

As written above I had the same issues as most people here. Random reboots, fast draining battery. I tried reseting the battery, no change. I checked the battery usage with the app Better Battery Stats and nothing unusual appeared to me. I only realised how often the phone rebooted when it was onl…

Hi there, I had the same problems: spontaneous rebooting and it got caught in the never ending blue screen. When I hold the power button longer than it could start but sometimes it tried to reboot after seconds on. I wrote to fairphone and they suggested a hard reset and so I did. Nothing changed. …

It is possible that your power button is broken. That would explain the spontaneous reboots and the blue screens (boot loop). You say yourself that you are also having some difficulties with your power button. Here is a way to find out, if you power button is stuck (you might want to read the posts…
