I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.
Do you like the default launcher? Is there a way to clean up the screen? From youtube videos, I see that the launcher is similar to iOS where all your apps are laid out. I prefer the minimal approach: a few favorite apps, some widgets and an app draw
What is their plan to provide long-term support? How long do they say they will support it? I had the FP1 and after a few years there were no more firmware updates from I think Qualcomm. Google eventually stopped supporting the chip for newer android versions, and fairphone didn't have the resources to do it on their own. Then there was a major security vulnerability. I don't remember which one, but basically remote code execution was possible just by visiting a website. With no updates for the FP1, it was unusable from then on for everything remotely private.
The hardware worked fine until the end, but this mess made it unusable. In comparison, my recently bought Pixel 9 gets updates until 2032.
FP1 and 2 were really bad compared to what the new models offer. They now use LTS chips designed for IoT devices and promise new Android versions and Updates for at least 8 years. Ive used a FP3 for many years before I sold it (it still recieves updates) and now happily use the FP5.
How’s the battery life?
Not sure yet but it seems decent so far. Will report as I get more usage.
Was the downgrade to USB-C 2.0 noticeable to you so far? As in, with the slower data transfer speed or lack of Display output?
It's the main reason why I ended up going with a Pixel 9 pro instead of Fairphone 6 when getting a new phone a few months ago
Wait wtf. This kills transfer speeds to portable SSDs.
Lame-ass decision, welp, never considering a fairphone untill they start making better decisions.
What is the use-case for fast USB transfer to/from a smart phone?
Are you using your phone as a computing platform / data transfer device? Just honestly curious why this is a showstopper for you.
I use my phone as my main computer.
In fact, most people don't really have a desktop/laptop computer anymore, its just their one smartphone
Does the LTPO display work and save battery by dialing down the refresh rate to 1hz when idle for 24/30hz when playing videos?
Also, do casual games support 120fps like pocket rogues, quest of wizard, etc.
Last question, is the animation experince good with 3rd party launchers like Niagara, Smart launcher 6, Lawnchair?
No idea on the LTPO and refresh rates. Don't play games. I set it to 60Hz, it defaults to 90Hz.
I use Lawnchair. The animations are okay. The same imperfect animations as on my Pixel.
E: Actually I think the back animation is a bit more broken for some apps.
Should I get one?
Hows the new minimal UI?
Meh. Just a limited launcher. I remapped the button to the flashlight.
Can you map it to anything you want? Like, say, make the button turn on constant phone vibration. Asking for a friend.
Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?
Is it noticeably slow?
I bought the FP4 a year or so ago, and I couldn't tolerate how slow everything was on it
Also, does it work with US cell networks?
I don't have any problems with the FP4.
Having a FP4 myself, I do suspect it's significantly slower than alternatives at similar prices - not a problem for most uses, only things that would actually stress the CPU, but it could bother some people.
my reporting process generates about 170'000 csv files, totalling 4.5GB. it takes about 10min to write them; which 9min 58 secondes longer than I need to compute them. Any suggestions ?
Are you gonna play the 'That's fair' game? Meaning the first bad thing to happen to the phone you say that's fair and leave it where it is forever just to buy a new phone to start over?
Will you marry me?
