Fairphone 5 lags if camera not opened first

/e/OS is newly installed. Latest version, 2.8.

I’m having this weird issue where the phone is very slow, laggy and unresponsive except if I open the camera app first. This goes for ever screen lock, and I tried rebooting.

When it was first installed, I wondered why everything was so laggy and slow on this smooth 90hz screen. It was only by chance that I learned that opening the camera made it buttery smooth, like if the phone became 10 years younger.

I did a command line install via Fedora Linux. Hopefully this can be resolved.

Thanks for this awesome project btw, I plan on donating soon

Is it A13 oder A14?
If you don’t find a proper solution, it would help the /e/OS team if you would open an issue at Gitlab, so that they can test and work on a fix.

I have similar trouble on my Fairphone 4. Fairphone 4 laggy, reboots

The trick with starting the Camera first after reboot is helping, so it seems. I have used SD Maid SE, too - perhaps the combination will better the situation.

This is android 14. I can open a issue soon if it doesn’t get solved.

BTW. I’m also on 2.8 / A14 with FP5 and I don’t have a issue with lock screen and slow UI. It’s maybe an issue with an app that you’ve installed. I don’t have many apps installed. Unfortunately I don’t have any ideas how to fix this, except that you uninstall apps that you suspect causing this issue. Apps which have to do with video or camera. I know that sounds vague, but I don’t know more. Maybe someone else has an idea.
