The few advantages you mean, wouldn’t mind the FP if they’d use a processor that wasn’t years old and at least performed better than the Tensor G2 (A processor highly regarded as absolute crap)
The fp4 has an ok cpu with a Snapdragon 750, and fp5 is pretty good, has a QCM6490.
Not the best value for money though considering the price of similar spec phones 😅 (except that will be worth it if you end up needing to replace the screen)
I have experienced that the microphone is in a weird spot on the left border of the phone, frequently where my fingers are placed when calling. So maybe check if you’re covering it too!
I’ve taken the battery out a number of times and it’s not changed anything, I might try a full disassembly at some point anyway just for the fun of it though
Seriously, I’d also recommend to unscrew the screen and screw it back together. For me it made wonders. And if this also doesn’t bring you anything, you should text support - in the end you have a warranty for a reason, right
another advantage of the glorious fairphone

waiting for the framework phone
My fp4 has been very disappointing so far tbh, after a year or so of using it it’s slow unresponsive and the mic doesn’t work

That may well be it actually I’ll try keep that in mind
It’s not supposed to do that. My FP3 got unresponsive after a while as well. The trick was to open it up and gently tighten all screws.
I’ll give it a go I can’t see how that would help but maybe it’s a loose contact to the touchscreen or something
Im curious, why would that help?
Loose cooler contact?
Because in IT, the fix is always to power cycle. If that doesn’t work, you take it apart and put it back together and then magic happens.

I have no issues like that. Maybe your microphone is damaged. What has been bugging me is the top speaker sounds terrible.
Isn’t the point of the FP to be able to change parts easily?

It’s a fp4 so older and I got it second hand so unsure if the warranty still applies
Will definitely try with the screws though
