@Boldos said in Thinnking of getting myself into Fairphone 5...:
Are there any caveats for using UT on FP5 as a daily driver?
Using UBPort on Fairphone5 as my main smartphone since several months now, and before, I had Fairphone 3+.
I think it's mostly usable as a phone, but:
Camera: No, even if the camera is properly handled, pictures are saved with very poor quality, making them mostly unusable.
GPS: once or twice I could get a position after 2h waiting outdoor. Mostly unusable.
Bluetooth: It works most of the time to connect to audio devices, and I had a working phone call with my car free-hands, but you may need to restart your phone once or twice to get it working.
Login after boot is sometimes broken: both keyboards overlaps and yo can't set the pin, this happens to me once every 10 reboot or so. Just need to reboot again to get it back.
Phone app consume too much energy, you probably want to close it all the time (you still receive phones calls).
During calls, the screen does not detect that you are making a call, so your hear is opening apps and changing everything. Just use the power-on button to lock the screen.
When you reproduce music through bluetooth, receiving a call always goes to the audio system, so you just need to change the output to receive the call.
Otherwise, it works fine for me: sharing connection, 3G, 4G, 5G, navigating, listening music, Telegram, notifications, fingerprint, updates, calls, sms, contacts, etc, etc, etc..
