Mail on iOS stopped working properly months ago, touch on this particular device sometimes does not work. Photos app is ridiculous. Software quality is declining. Even very average user like me can notice it.
The Mail thing was weird. I thought it was maybe an update or even a network issue as I had recently changed my router. I eventually gave up and replaced Mail with another email client.
They mention the Pixel and I just got to say, I wish someone would bring back the fingerprint reader on the back of the phone. That was seriously the best solution. Fastest way to unlock your phone, because no matter how slow the fingerprint reader is you activate it while pulling it out of your pocket. I honestly don't get why people like Face ID more (what I currently use). Someone, please bring this back
Have you tried phones with it on the power button? That was the best for me by far.
phone wishlist: - user-replaceable battery - 7+ years of security updates - iPhone 13 mini size - iPhone 13 mini camera quality - plastic exterior - headphone jack - fairphone-style sustainability, repairability and part availability - GrapheneOS compatibility - fingerprint reader either on the back or on the power button I miss my Pyxel 4a :-(
How about both: do it like the LG G6 and put the power button on the back and make it the fingerprint reader :)
(unironically though it was probably my favorite fingerprint reader I've had so far)

Genuine Question: What problem did you encounter within the Mail App?

Fairphones consistently doesn't support a quarter of what graphene os requires. See their FAQ: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices Unless Fairphone becomes significantly better in their security and update policy and integrate a whole lot of new features it's not gonna happen.
This is the whole point, they should stop nitpicking and start to do it (GrapheneOS side), even if it is not going to be THE most secure phone, there is enough of features that are far more useful then just security (like privacy). I don't mind if they make it payable. With money they will get (I suspect there will be quite a bit less pixels sold) they can make a new phone that will have all the bells and whistles Gr…
This feels super entitled to me. GrapheneOS Devs have a mission and they get to make that. You get it for free and if you like it you can give them money. If they don't support the hardware you like you are free to fork it and get it to run yourself.
And if security isn't something you care about but privacy is and you feel like there's a difference here you can still install /e/os or lineageos and similar on the fairphone.

At the end all profit. While in current state, the culprit, Google profits.
And please keep fallacies like "do it yourself" for yourself, I am talking about collaboration, feel free to open another thread on top level about forks.
Same goes for /e/ ... they just dont compare.
GrapheneOS has two use-cases that are they excelling with, security and privacy.
While security is not really my threat model (some rubber-hose cryptography aka large wrench, solves this issue for any attacker), privacy violations are everyones issue. Even if they dont care.

Not the original commenter, but it regularly fails to update emails unless it is restarted. Last 2 major iOS versions have had the same problem for me. That’s a fundamental functionality failure in my book.
Or Force Google to not track things out of certain apps and giving customers choice to not use those apps at all e.g Gmail, Google Maps etc (or use w/o logging in like you can do on iOS. A good way would be to letting OEMs decide the "Android Account" in Android OS instead of the mandatory Google Account.
Not only opening up of the play store (I am not sure how helpful that would be) but another crucial criminal hurdle here is Play Integrity API [0] and apps using it. By this Google made it apps choose between the notions of "be secured" or "actively decide to remain unsecured".
[0]: Call the Integrity API at important moments in your app to check that user actions and requests are coming from your unmodified app binary, installed by Google Play, running on a genuine Android device

Yes, Apple does it too but they have proven to not yet started tracking and god as much as I hate Apple and it's walled garden they are still far less distracting and cluttered. Besides they don't just log me into everything and anything like mail etc.

And the size. Naah, if you are making yet another phablet then I am not even looking to switch. Good luck thank you bye-bye.
When unscrewed, users are likely to be greeted with an option to remove the battery as well as it isn’t attached to the device with the help of glue but rather with additional screws. What a horrible state of things that "not gluing the battery in place but screwing it in" is considered an improvement. IMHO smartphones have been on a horrible decline ever since ~2016. Before then, most Androids had [1] easily replace…
FairPhone used to be a manufacturer still doing the right things. My FP3 has all of that, including an official guide for unlocking the bootloader. At least they've kept their promises regarding updates, because I won't be buying their newer phones.
Your comment feel needlessly provocative with no information other than your negative opinion. You've implied Fairphone have turned crap, whilst mentioning a bunch of good stuff they've done, and then how you won't be buying their phones anymore.
Seriously, what was the point of this comment, what were you trying to achieve or communicate? Is that fairphone are rubbish? If so, you haven't said how or why, other than cryptic hints that promises might not have been kept.
This feels like an engagement bait comment, and I can't help but engage to say that.
