Hey everyone I was interesting to hear which phone you had before changing to FP4. Any upgrades or downgrades? Why did you need a new phone? Old phone: Google Pixel 2 It was a super fine phone and it could do, what I needed. But there where no more updates for Android or security. And I think tha…

Motorola Moto Z3 Play. It is still a really good device but I get no security-updates since more than one year. The battery is running low and there is no way to switch the battery. I tried to replace the batteries from my older Sony Z3 and Motorola E2, without look. Motorola also broke its promis…

Previously Samsung Alpha and S3 S3 died of power button and usb fatigue, broken screen etc. The alpha is still usable. Neither had wifi calling. So when a daughter mentioned she was thinking of getting the Fairphone i used her impetus to buy two FP3+ one for her one for me. She couldn’t cope w…

Hello I had a Xiaomi A1 I changed the camera, then the charging port, it was pretty easy. But then, the charging was bad again. The sound was bad … So yeah, a change for 5 year warranty, I think it would be cool no more aliexpress to find strange parts. I am just a bit disapointed with the bat…

How long do you have the FP4? It takes a few days for Android to learn the behavior of you and your apps. After that battery optimization will kick in.

[image] Gresom: And… the well known fact: The FP4 camera is disappointing. I’m not a photography enthousiast, but even for me - the point and click guy - it’s obviously lacking in image quality. [image] LibrePhoner: @Gresom Welcome to the forum! Do you already know the possibility to us…

@FairphoneHulk Nothing is easy, is it? :wink: Is it possible to install the stock camera app later on a custom rom? If not, i can at least use open camera as an alternative to the gcam port. Maybe over time you can share your experiences with us, when which app works best with which settings?

I had a Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. It taught me this: I’ll never go for anything but naked Android again. That UI skin they use is the most atrocious anti-design I’ve seen in years, with absolutely bonkers menu arrangements, hidden functionality everywhere, inconsistent design at all corners and a bizarre…

Same on FP3 > It’s a phone not a camera. I have the default, open, and a Gcam port to play with. It’s s bit of a game and 99% of the time it’s the Nikita G cam and i foget about it.
