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
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
It may well be, it’s possible I got a drop of water in it after washing my hands or something which might’ve done it but I’d be pretty disappointed if that’s enough to break it
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)
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

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

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.

Isn’t the point of the FP to be able to change parts easily?
You can’t change the CPU or memory afaik.
I could replace the mic but if it’s breaking every year I’d be better off just buying a new second hand phone of better quality every few years
I have no issues like that. Maybe your microphone is damaged. What has been bugging me is the top speaker sounds terrible.
