Fairphone5 /e/os 3.04 serious issues with instability and gpu driver problems

Hi, so i seem to be having some serious issues since updating to Community 3.04 Android 14.

There seems to be an issue with loading gpu drivers, either that or my phones gpu is faulty.

Previously on version 2.8 and 2.9 i had no problems all apps worked okay, after updating to 3.01 and then 3.04 it seems that the open gl drivers are not loading properly, i went looking for the issue after an app that worked previously, now always crashed on startup.

After some troubleshooting i downloaded this app OpenGLESInfo to find out my phone only detects OpenGLES 1.x but not 2.x and 3.x on several restart it would sometimes load drivers properly and would show my phone supports all three versions.

To ensure this isn’t an issue with magisk root or my way of updating through OTA while having root installed, i went and did a clean install of 3.04 but went ahead with android15 community version this time.

With all previous data wiped and a clean install/flash, no root and developer mode not enabled, the issue persists.
image of the app i used, one shows when the drivers don’t seem to load correctly and when they do.


I’m thinking of reverting back to 2.8 or 2.9 just to check if the drivers do really load correctly there or if this is actually a hardware problem :confused:

EDIT:

Went ahead and just downgraded to 2.9 community A14.

OpenGLES drivers load properly with every restart, clean install again. While on 3.04 they didn’t load at all on the 6 reboots i attempted.

Is there anywhere i can report this issue?

Can confirm this bug, liuke like a upstream problem regearding LineageOS 22.2 on a Fairphone 5.

On a Fairphone 5 device with plain LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15) there is no OpenGL ES 2.x or OpenGL ES 3.x available, which results in troubles like OSMAND~ use the slow GL1.x rendering and other apps like games which mostly requires at least OpenGL ES 2.x dont work too.

I open a ticket in the issue tracker regarding this bug related only to FP5 device and LineageOS.

FYI, Bug tracker link: [FP5][22.2] OpenGL ES 2.x and OpenGL ES 3.x dont work (#9338) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab
