And there’s no way to fix it short of flashing a new rom,as I understand. Just have to deal with the extra step now.
I was not impressed with this phone and they just keep making it less-user friendly.
I mean how the fuck are they justifying not letting you see which devices are connected to your hotspot?
Ri-diks.
I already run Calyx so that part is fine enough but the fairphone stupidly removed their headphone jack so that’s why it’s not on my list for a replacement anytime soon.
Thank you for the suggestion though.
I’m on the opposite side here, I haven’t used wired headphones in a decade.
Is it the increased fidelity of wired headphones that has you for jack advocacy?
I could plug into any headphones or stereo without a dongle, they never have to be charged, and I’m never forced to choose whether to listen to music or charge the phone itself.
BT is fine. But there’s zero good reason to omit the jack. All the companies just followed apples lead so they could make money on BT headphones. That’s it.
You don’t need a dongle to use bt headphones, do you?
Charging my headphones once every couple of days for 30 minutes vs the inconvenience of constantly dealing with a physical cord(tangles, caught on anything, putting it away, the phone port/headphone cord/jack fraying or breaking) is a no-contest bt win for me. Listening is so much more convenient for me without the wire.
That said, I’m almost always listening to something on the go, so maybe our use cases are different.
“I’m never forced to choose whether to listen to music or charge the phone itself.” - You can’t use bt headphones while charging your phone?
I would omit the port for extra space to organize what I would consider more critical components. Waterproofing is probably a consideration.
Interesting to hear from the other side, thanks
