#FP4 4 hashtags

Anyone else with this ridiculous issue on the #FairPhone 4 #FP4? Struggling with this for MONTHS now. Relatively low usage today (ca. 1h screen time). Cellular data is pushing through my battery life like nothing else. I barely get a day out of it, even on idle. #Android

Also, if #ubports people are reading this: what's the status of the project? Apparently, the #FP4 is a prime device regarding support there...

From the releases, I can see that OTAs are still appearing relatively regularly, albeit the current version is still based on #Ubuntu Focal (20.04) from five years ago...

My #Fairphone 4 is draining battery like crazy over the past few months. Surely, I should buy a new battery for it soon (software says, a full charge is around 3350 mAh instead of 3900 mAh it had back in 2021 when I bought it), but this cannot be the only issue here...

Not using it at all drains around 2-3%/h and simply web browsing or a short YouTube video sometimes drains 30%/h (extrapolating). Sometimes, the device is warm even when I haven't used it for hours. The Energy-consumption settings page lists cellular connection as the top consumer next to display (when using the phone). That is, even when the device sits motionless at a spot with perfect 4G or 5G connectivity. It is only bearable in energy-saving mode (1%/h).

I've been researching online, and it looks like a bunch of people have that issue. People are speculating it is a non-functional deep-sleep in some circumstances. I wonder if a factory reset (or switch to #LineageOS?) could help.

Did anyone have similar experience with #FP4 or even other #Android devices?

My #FP4 got updated to Android 12. Not sure I like the look of it. Also, I truly miss #phosh... Though I did hear that GNU/Linux is coming for the FP4, so we'll see ;)
