The headline says it all - the FP4 isn´t the perfect phone. In fact, it has some minor to major issues one comes across over the years… and either overcomes them or is content to just live with it.
The major flaws are (to me)
- the ghost touch issue, which i fixed by reseating the screen and heightening the pressure on the connector.
- the weird behaviour when using dual-sim. sometimes, it takes ages to find a new network connection when changing countries or after just driving through a tunnel… sometimes it just works fine. can´t figure out why it behaves like that.
Minor flaws:
- camera sub-par, compared to even a pixel 4a… but it does the job.
I really was thinking about buying the fp5 to get rid of these issues… but then I remembered what I wanted to achieve in the first place when buying the fp4: keep a phone for YEARS. It´s two years old now, and will surely get me through another 3, if not more. one just has to learn to be contend.
Fp4 stops functioning in cold weather. It says “critical condition” and shuts down. You need to get somewhere warm for a while to get it to start up. 93%battery when the error popped up, and it had 58%battery when I got it running again. I love this phone and company but…
Yeah to me that sounds more like your battery is malfunctioning. Maybe buy a new one and see if the problem persists? I mean you are going to need a new one anyway sooner or later.
