Fairphone 3 (FP3) Port

Homer

@homer Hello guys,
I installed Ubuntu Touch on the FP3 using ubports installer. Everything went smoothly with installation.

My only issues with the FP3:

Very(!) very slow charging: In 2 hours it adds ~5% to the battery charge. Not even overnight is enough to fully charge. Tested several different charges with the same result.
Fast discharge, even in standby:
Before with android 10 the standby runtime on a single charge was 4 days, now it discharges fully in ca. 30hrs.

Regarding 1) I read in several places that an upgrade in Android 10 caused this slow charging for other FP3 users running stock Android. Could this be connected?

@homer hi,

I only encountered charging issues, when I did some tests with waydroid. But after a reboot this was solved in most cases.
Did you install waydroid or Anbox?

Here is a screenshot of my battery-usage, actually it is charging very fast...

Hi,

I tried 4 different chargers, same result. After some x timed of unplugging and plugging back in, at some point fast charging works.
Strangely, when I take the cable feom the charger and plug the phone with the cable intu my linux laptop, it always works right away.

@homer and did you use anbox/waydroid or not?

Homer

@luksus no, just plain ubports installer.

@fp2andfp3-user oh, sound is working meanwhile? Also in browser? For me, every app that wanted to use audio did freeze... but calling with MS Teams did work though.

@Homer just had the same charging issue.
On the PC it did not charge, even if the indicator said it was charging... then I used a power-adapter and now it is charging again.
Seems like in some cases there is too few power delivered...

@luksus yes sound is also working in Browser!

@luksus in my case the laptop provides less current then mains outlet but is the only reliable. On mains outlet I have to try 5-6 times unplugging and pkugging till it charges...
