Blurry frontal camera in less than ideal lightning situation.

Has someone faced the same thing? Is there a fix? Maybe gcam mod or something.

Fairphone 6 hotspot and touchscreen issues (report summary)

I’ve been testing this for a couple of weeks trying to rule out all obvious causes and support-script explanations. This is a summary of persistent issues I can reliably reproduce.

Device:

  • Fairphone 6 (Spain)
  • Android 16 (FP6.QREL.16.48.0)
  • Factory reset done
  • Network settings reset multiple times

Touchscreen freezing

  • Random system-wide touch freeze (whole screen or active UI stops responding)
  • Not app-specific
  • Some gestures may still work (e.g. Home button gesture)
  • Happens every few hours during normal use
  • Lock/unlock temporarily fixes it
  • Still happens in Safe Mode → likely not app-related

Hotspot / tethering issues

  • 5 GHz / 6 GHz hotspot often not visible unless 2.4 GHz compatibility mode is enabled
  • Steam Deck + Windows devices often get stuck on “Obtaining IP address”
  • Connections drop or become unusable under normal usage
  • Other phones (Pixel / Samsung / Motorola) work fine with the same setup

Tried:

  • Factory reset
  • Safe Mode
  • APN verified
  • VPN disabled
  • Power saving / hotspot timeout disabled
  • Multiple SIMs (Vodafone / Orange)
  • Network resets multiple times

Impact: Device is unreliable both as a daily driver and hotspot device. I currently need a second phone just for tethering.
