There are already more than 100 messages from the victims in the brand’s forum. As it is understood, a broken fingerprint is caused by a fingerprint browser. Android 15 has brought a tight equipment control when it is started, and if the sensor is damaged, the system cannot complete the load.
FairPhone recognized the problem and presented a temporary exit – a return without data loss in Android 14. The company also works on a patch that allows you to install Android 15, even with a defective sensor, although it does not have functionality.
Another option is to replace the sensor in the service.
The problem is aggravated on the basis of FairPhone’s criticism for slow updates and weak support. Instead of a long -updated update, users actually bought a “brick”.
