- Making notification sounds quieter on a non-rooted FP5
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?
- Fairphone in the US
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
- Fairphone presenting a tablet on 09.04? (no, actually earbuds)
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.

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.
- How's the state of Android 13 for FP4?
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!

- Best protective case for FP4
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!
- Would you consider an fp4 worth the money
I'm considering getting an fp4 as an upgrade for my s21. Although I was wondering if its worth the money or not. should I just wait for fp5 to go down in price. Should I not go for a fp entirely and instead seek some better value alternatives I am after all on a very tight budget.

- What OS to run on fp4
I am looking at getting a fp4. (Pretty seriously, I am typing this on an older phone because I listed my newer phone on eBay to switch) I want a good, privacy focused operating system to run on it and was wondering what you all run and what your experiences have been. My main concerns are:
-
Support - I don’t want my operating system maintained by just 1 or 2 random people on github.
-
Features - I want the basic stuff to work but am concerned about the fingerprint sensor and cameras.
-
Privacy - I want something ideally completely degoogled.
-
Stability - I don’t know much about android but I use Debian lts if that tells you anything about the kind of update schedule I want.
I know this is a lot to ask of an os but do you have any recommendations?

- Headphone Jack ever coming back?
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?

- Reboot by nfc card
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?
- Is your compass accurate?
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.
