So either I completely misunderstood how the #Nitrokey 3 NFC chip should have worked with #Android (at least supports fido2 and apparently PGP), or the #Fairphone 4 does not play nicey with this... Real bummer, because this is basically a brick for me 50% of the time now

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

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?

A Screenshot from an App Overview on a mobile phone. It is postmarketOS with Phosh running on a Fairphone 6.

It is so cool!
I am by no means an expert in those things but I got a linux OS running on a new smartphone.
This is a Fairphone 6 running PostmarketOS with Phosh and I love it.
Thank you @postmarketOS @phosh for all the great work.

This post was sent from the fairphone with @Tuba 🥳
A really great software for the fediverse even on a small mobile screen.

Slightly improved my #PhoneCase with a very hungry caterpillar. Usually, I like to keep my devices clean from #stickers, but this one got to be one of my favourites! #FairPhone #EatTheRich

For some reason, upon reboot, #Android reset all apps' permissions. I am not getting any notifications, unless i grant permissions again, apps cannot access storagespace anymore, etc. Did this hapoen to anyone ever before? #Fairphone
