Fairphone 6 - random shutdown

Hello, I installed iode 7.1 (iode-7.1-20260116-FP6-fastboot.zip) on my new Fairphone 6.

Installation went well.

Setup of the system went well.

But I have 1-2 random shutdowns of the system per day. The last days I did not use the phone and when I picked it up, it was down and I had to start it new. Today it executed a shutdown during usage.

I received the new phone last week (directly from Fairphone), did an update to the newest android version and installed than iode.

Some one else with the the issue? How can I analyse the issue?

iodé have the (security) feature of automatic reboot after a configurable period without any user activity. This puts the phone in a more secure state where user data is not decrypted (BFU before unlock).

It should be off by default, but maybe there is a schedule chosen?

Check via Settings → Security & Privacy → More security & Privacy

I checked the setting:

Auto reboot = NEVER

The FP6 is not executing a reboot, it power off/shutdown randomly.

Hello, you confirm it is a new device. Before you had installed iode OS this issue didn’t exist ?

It is a new device.

I booted it with the original stock android system, checked it and did an update. I did not run it long enough (for days) to confirm, that the issue exists or not exists with the original stock android. I went than directly to the iode installation process.

FP6 is running completely fine by user users?

For me it is, no random shutdowns. To rule out a hardware defect, maybe switching back to FairphoneOS and letting it run for some days would be a good idea.

Last Saturday 3 power offs in one hour. Since than nothing - no further random shutdown. Really strang behaviour. I will observe it further. And otherwise follow your advise. I was not aware, that Fairphone offers the Android ROMs. That’s greate.

And until now, no answer from Fairphone support…
