    I don’t have MicroG I’m just using the stock ROM with Play Services. I too replaced most the default apps with foss options with Fossify being a big chunk of them. It’s not the apps that are the issue, it’s the Fairphone software.

    Since my original comment I’ve already bought a second hand Galaxy S25 Edge as I haven’t tried Samsung since the Galaxy S3. Not exactly the privacy focused experience I’d ideally like but the Fairphone is becoming unusable after only 3 months. There’s no way I’d be using it in 7 years.

      I have had mine 3 months. Never going back. Samsung has a partnership with Google. They take all your data and.call home a lot. Start monitoring through NextDNS and start blocking the domains and you’ll see. I’d just reset.or reinstall and try again. Something sounds off.

        I’ve already tried a reset and the issues persist. I’ve just lost faith with Fairphone. I took a photo yesterday, the preview in the camera app shows a photo has been taken. If i click the preview I get a “failed to load media” warning and if I open the gallery app or file manager the photo is nowhere to be seen. This simply isn’t good enough. They’ve been well known for buggy software all over the internet so I’m not entirely surprised.
