Had a panic this morning as my #Fairphone 4 was dead. Wouldn't respond to the power button no screen nothing. Had to remove the battery for a few seconds and put it back in. Booted up fine then, I wonder if this is a sign for me to source a replacement ? Although I'm not decided on getting a Fairphone 5 that can run #Linux or #IodeOS or whether to get a pixel pro 9 and go with #GrapheneOS ? I'll probably end up procrastinating until my FP4 dies properly knowing me. 🙃
