Hi everyone, I just got my fairphone 5 with /e/OS and I love it only there is one small thing it’s not a big problem but I’m still curious. When I turn on smooth display it works well and smoothly but when I lock and unlock my phone then smooth display no longer works. Is this something that can be fixed in an update? Do any of you have this problem too? I’m curious

I also found this post talking about the same issue that i have Faiphone 5 90hz display settings not working as exspected

Sadly the issue was reintroduced in a later patch again. So I assume most if not all FP5 user have brocken 90hz settings.

In the linked post is my gitlab issue, please feel free to comment and make the report more visible. I just assume not enough people care.

I have had this issue since I bought an FP5 in september 2024, since e/OS 2.4 this issue has been present (again). There is no one looking into this issue it seems.

I got the same issue on eOS 2.7 (2.7-t-20250111460957-official-FP5) on my FP5.

The display overlay from developer options does not seem to reflect the real, buggy refresh rate and always just shows 60/90.

When toggling 90, it works until screen lock. After unlock it is way choppier than 60. So sadly, I’m sticking with 60 for now.

Same here, I tried creating a new account to vote on the gitlab issue. Unfortunately my email address was forbidden??? I used the same one as for this forum :wink:

Ah I see, they had spam issues. I need to request access??? And then they point to the forum “in general”. Not a great experience. Who can I “at” to ask for permission to create an account?

Very true indeed…
Contact @Manoj , he may as well sort out that questionable reference to the forum “in general”, a dedicated thread or the like would be more helpful…
