#FairPhone

Hi all, I've had my FP5 for a few months now. I usually have my notifications on vibrate only, simply because I think even the lowest volume level for notifications is too loud.

So I'm wondering, is there a way to go below the lowest possible volume for notifications somehow, and preferably without rooting. Or should I try my luck making a feature request at Fairphone?

Has fairphone said anything about trying to get fairphone parity in the US?

With how big the smartphone market is and with how much reparibility is becoming a bigger focus.

I'd love to get fairphone 5

I just got an email from Fairphone that something new is coming on the 09.05 - a whole new category.

My hot take is on a tablet. What do you think?

Edit: so the whole new category is earbuds. Somewhat disappointing, but replaceable batteries for earbuds are nice, I guess.

So I got a crazy #idea for #Fairphone ... Would be fun if some one could proxy this idea to the official folks there. @gael, @WeAreFairphone, @fairphone ?

Fairphones has a replaceable battery. Sometimes I would like to have a spare battery with me, to replace on-the-fly. In some situations, that is more convenient than to have the extra "dongle" known as an external USB battery pack.

The challenge is: How do you charge them? Back in the old phone days, you could have desk chargers for spare batteries. Another challenge: How do you carry external batteries safely?

So I got this crazy idea. Combine those two challenges! With an additional twist!

What if there was a portable "box" which could carry up to two Fairphone batteries, with a USB-C port to charge them. But! Let it also function as a USB-C battery pack which can be used with Fairphones (via cable) or other USB devices.

That gives you a portable battery charger, battery carry case for 2 batteries and a 3905 or 7810mAh OTG battery pack (based on FP4 batteries, depending on if 1 or 2 batteries are present).

If these cases can be designed to support more FP battery generations, you get something which could even be quite sustainable.

Hello there!

I was wondering how you guys have experienced the Android 13 update on the Fairphone 4. I heard, it was somewhat buggy and haven't updated because of that. But I would like to update, so I thought I ask you about your experiences.

Thank you and merry Christmas to you all!

Hello everybody! I'm looking for a sturdy and robust case, but I can't seem to find anything. I know that there is the good ol' official Fairphone Soft case, but I absolutely hate it. My phone often slips out of it when laying on the screen, and it feels like it doesn't even protect the phone. I know that I could just replace the screen if it were broken, but in the long term, a case would be more effective.

Is there any case around that is like This or a little less extreme like this?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to get some confirmation on this.

It's being rolled out in stages so you, like me, may not have it yet.

less than 24 hours left

I'm aware that the camera won't be the best, but I'd guess they should atleast match?

I am looking for a new phone. Coming from the Sony midrangers, because they have a headphone jack. I love the FP philosophy. I don't see their devices having headphone jacks, though. Is there any talk of that being introduced?

Just noticed a funny bug, if I place my phone (FP4) on my work badge, it buzzes and then reboots to some "can't boot android, do you want to factory reset? y/n" screen. Anyone else seen this problem? Is it a feature maybe?

I just opened a map and it's off by >45° again. Doing a calibration makes it a good bit better but still quite jerky and rotating the device 90° (i.e. using a wall for reference) still does not result in a 90° turn in the compass.

Does anyone else experience this? Please include the ROM and version used.

Edit: Should have mentioned this is a FP4. Other FPs are entirely different hardware.
