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 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.
Im curious, why would that help?
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'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
Loose cooler contact?
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
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!
That may well be it actually I'll try keep that in mind
I have no issues like that. Maybe your microphone is damaged. What has been bugging me is the top speaker sounds terrible.
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
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
Isn't the point of the FP to be able to change parts easily?
