Mine works perfectly after two years. The microphone placement is a little wonky as it is on the left side to the screen (why?). This results in me placing my finger over it frequently which fucks the audio.
It is pretty fast and I never have issues with running any apps or android. My battery is also good.
For your charging port, have you cleaned the inside with a toothpick? Usb c ports getting gunked up is inevitable.
That being said, there was a famous problem with ghost touches on the touchscreen. I had this too, but after an update it was "fixed" with software. So whenever the ghost touches occur, the phone discards the input. That does mean no more random inputs but sometimes an unresponsive screen. So not really a perfect solution.
This issue had thousands of requests on the fairphone forum. However the response from fairphone was slow and inadequate. For such a relatively expensive phone I expected more.
Which one do you have?
I've also noticed the ghost touches on the 4, I don't think it's fixed entirely. Quite often have to physically put down the phone on a table to be able to press a button on the screen because I think it's somehow picking up my palm even when it's not touching the glass at all
I tried taking the whole charging port out and going at it with a little brush, no improvement.
As I use my phone as my primary means of payment I've unfortunately just had to shell out £20 for a new one which I am not happy about (postage, VAT, other bullshit)
Try the toothpick or something stronger than a brush anyway. I have used a toothpick and a sewing needle to dig the compacted lint out.
That's why my friends have been telling me to throw away my new phone because they can't hear me‽ I've been essentially muting myself with my stupid thumb covering that stupid hole? Thank you so much; I was going to put the sim back in my previous phone.
