Battery saver weirdness
Hej everyone,
I've noticed that even if battery-saver is running-state/with the app closed my battery drain and aprox charging time are very off.
So i dont close the app and my phone keeps better charge.
And when attempting to charge i close battery-saver and reopen it so my charge time goes down to 50mins instead of 13hours. (i noticed this because my phone charged just about 50% over night.I havnt tried reinstalling or any other troubleshoot since its fixed as long as i keep the battery-saver app open.

RE: Concerning the 5G situation
@Mario-CH hehe nice of course an evil mastermind would cover the whole spectrum!
I just tried to use this little story to make my point clearer. I just wanted to know, if someone wanted to completely render the 5g capabilities of the device useless if that would be possible.
I mean we are now living in a time where we are able to have alternative operating-systems running on our phones. Through that also different usage and possibillties. So it would make sense to be able to tweak certain sensors, services, cameras.I know I must sound mad!
While everyone wants things to work properly like gps, 5g, volte and what else there might be.
I'm perfectly fine without them working!Till today i have not switched on gps on my fairphone 4 . For the gps (I'm happy that there is a work-around for people to make gps work)
I've never tried it haha, so at least i have never made knowingly a gps connection. Not sure if my fp4 and the satellite went on a date behind my back or not but who knowsThe easiest fix would be to get an old phone i know...

RE: FP4 - Ear phones not working, GPS not working
@Julien-0 well i just tried it myself for the first time.
Headphones + cable +jack to usb-c into FP4
and it didnt work. Dont know if it 's a problem from your/our instalation or something that hasnt been fixed yet.
I found a post on the forum https://forums.ubports.com/post/77107 with a suggestion on how to manually adjust it. But not sure if that works in your/our case, or if one should play around with things that might affect your daily usage. Bluetooth connection to headphones seams fine, well sometimes I need to reconnect them to have all buttons recognized
but that a small issue. -
RE: Concerning the 5G situation
@stanwood haha alright lets talk sci-fi...
Lets imagine an evil scientist called Professor Ruffleberg has developed a death-ray and can target every device that responds to a 5g signal.So by me taking my fairphone with ut,
I go to settings/mobile and just stick to 2g,3g,4g...
Will i be safe from the Professor's mad mashine?
Or will he still be able to target me because my device would (even if 5g is not aktivated) ping back?Hope you had as much fun reading as i had comming up with it
-
RE: Concerning the 5G situation
@stanwood i know! Like to see an option to just keep it 5g free by permanent deaktivating.
-
RE: Concerning the 5G situation
@stanwood Thanks for your message and the insides given. My point was, to be able to have the choice to not have 5g working.
I know a lot of people want/need it...
Well i dont, and I'd love to have an option to just fully deactivate it -
Concerning the 5G situation
Hej everyone, at the moment 5G seames to be not working for most if not all. I've notice that many people do want the 5G option available, so the future progress if possible will incorporate that option.
For my self personally, I'm fine without it and would love an option to disable or purge the 5g from my device. I'm already quite happy that gps on fp4 is lets call it optional (havn't aktivated it yet, so no connection has been made)
I use this phone for privacy and health reasons.
So it be great to be able to block certain signals by just having the hardware/software disabled. -
RE: How do you use UT?
@Nymexx a game changer is an app called webber! Which allows you to create webapps (shortcuts) to webpages. Those webapps will appear together with all the other apps in the menu. They are really great to fill the gap for apps that I'm missing from android. Well as long as there is a web page available.
Example:
Bandcamp
My banking service
We transfer
A web forum
Bitchute
...
...
And many more
There is also an app called "home"
which allows you to kinda create a home screen
With a clock, calender, search bar and other little widgets. Just available on the open store accessed by browser. Because its a version for the previos UT Xenial but it works perfect.
Make sure to also install the "home weather widget“ for a weather indicator on the "home-screen"
I'd love to upload a picture to show you a possible layout...but i just dont know how -
RE: How do you use UT?
Hej great question, well i use UT on a fairphone 4 as my daily driver to browse, research download music an videos, as media device for music and video playback on my tv, as my organizer for work and my gardening hobby plant diaries and so.
So ye I'm quite happy with UT, even if the getting used to period was a bit challenging but my conversion from android and the feeling of independence are priceless.

RE: File Manager hick-ups involving music(player) and gallery
@lduboeuf hej thanks again for your input
I did indeed do a fesh install with the same outcome. Next weekend I'll do a complete fresh install + wipe user data .
There are too many iddy biddy things that dont work as they maybe should.Like...
-The shut down button needs to be held, if just
touched or let go of...the phone reboots-the media-player does not play any video files,
movies or recordings from the device camera-the media-scanner that just works and displays
thumbnails properly if i only stick to either wifi or
mobile data-when shutting down the phone it takes up to 1min
before i can turn it on againand other little hick-ups...
So far i just did fresh installs without wiping user data, do you think the above problems will be solved by doing a sort of day1 fresh install?

RE: File Manager hick-ups involving music(player) and gallery
I've noticed that when I'm connected to wifi and mobile data!
My gallery app shows the black loading squares
and my music app displays black squares too.So if i stick to just wifi or just mobile data, the gallery app displays my pictures properly and the music player the available album covers.
If I'm to switch on both data connections again
the problem repeats...So ye for now i just make sure to be either connected to only mobile data or only wifi.
I made a video,
posted in the fairphone-telegram-group
for anyone that is interessted to see me switching between connections and its effects on the music-app. -

Hej @BarryT
No idea if this will help you but I've noticed that when I'm connected to wifi and mobile data!

but i think I've solved it for my Fairphone 4 -

Media player stopped working
Hej everyone,
As of yesterday i'm not able to play any video file on the media player, and i'm also not able to capture videoes with the camera...The log says:
"[17/02/2024 16:38] library "eglSubDriverAndroid.so" not found
[17/02/2024 16:38] Creating a QMirClientScreen now
[17/02/2024 16:38] qrc:/MainPage.qml: QML Item: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling.

[17/02/2024 16:38] qrc:/MainPage.qml: QML Item: Cannot anchor to an item that isn't a parent or sibling.checked the log of the camera which is unable to record video so somehow this eglSubDriverAndroid.so has gone missing
Any help?
Thanks -
RE: Gallery app showing black squares not preview thumbnails
@Luksus thanks i tried your command and it worked for the gallery-app.
Sadly still no lasting change on the music-app
no thumbnails there... or if they a appear one scroll or changes within the file manger an back to black squares.
But thanks for another small fix.Sorry @BarryT for hijacking/joining your post again. It continues to be problem for me, even after a fresh install. I wonder what the reason is for that goldfish like memory the mediascanner shows

RE: Gallery app showing black squares not preview thumbnails
hej Barry your post reminded me of my own poat
a problem that persisted from the beginning and some how solved it self.https://forums.ubports.com/post/78300
Btw a reboot does not work the same as a shut down. Like when your wi-fi or bluetooth has trouble... A reboot wont solve it but a shut down and proper re-start will...for me anyways
Dont know if any of this helps,
But i've noticed improvements on my device
over time. So no worries -
RE: Raven-downloader help.

All in all its gotten more smoothe for sure.
So thank you for reminding me to try mitubo again
