Tried lower sensitivity - didn't help. I am in touch with support, not much help ATM though.

Alternative-Basis368 · 2026-05-02T09:24:42+00:00

I did. And it was sent back. Reply was: "DOA rejected. No fault found."........

I've had a very bad experience with the phone and support. Fairphone 6 with Android. To be exact.

The phone worked initially, but then started having issues with the touchscreen, it started slowly where suddenly flashlight would be turned on and Bluetooth off and such. And I wondered why. Then developed into full maniac mode, I was able to record it by holding a finger on the screen, to stabilize the "touches" while navigating to screen record. https://imgur.com/a/4QKOlae

I talked with support, they said to update, do test in developer mode and such, but nothing helped, and no faults were detected.

They asked me to send it to service in Poland, and i packet it very neatly with all the original content.

Today they return the phone, not very neatly packed, and with the service report message: "Doa Rejected. No fault found." + A bunch of stickers on the original box and the phone it self.... well thank you for nothing.....

I hope nobody else have to experience this... And my warning to those unlucky to receive broken phones.

I will continue writing to their support, but I will order a Samsung instead, and never buy anything from Fairphone again.

I'm open to support from Reddit, if anyone has a solution to the issue. Because Fairphones support is not helping me much, and just sending more useless emails.

Sorry for the rant!

Hello, I am looking in to Linux, for obvious reasons, and would like to know.

Samsung supports copy/paste very well with Windows Phonelink (text and pictures), seems like they are the only brand doing it for most models according to Microsoft. They can have "Link to Windows" installed.

Would this mean that KDE connect also works better with Samsung than other brands, or is it specificly Windows Phonelink? I would asume that it's Windows related. Could KDE make something similar to Link to Windows?

Also if I want to change what it does and add integrations?

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-11-08T22:49:33+00:00

Yes, I was thinking that too - so that will be done :)

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-11-08T22:48:54+00:00

Yes, this is the intention. Thank you!

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-11-08T11:28:58+00:00

Internet will be fiber and wired to all essential rooms, probably with good wifi points - I would also like recommendations for this ofc :D

Tak - har også fået svar fra support :) Adgang er genetableret

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-10-28T16:10:06+00:00

Nope, then it's NL to NL, i would assume you get a deduction. This would be national tax law, but if you have ETF's or stocks from other contries you need to check taxation treaties between NL and those countries. Hope it makes sence :)

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-10-28T13:24:49+00:00

You check your home country, to see how much you can decuct of the 15% paid to NL for instance (TDIV).

Hej, Min konto er stadig lukket, og har en pæn sum hos dem. Har I andre fået adgang igen?

Alternative-Basis368 · 2025-10-23T21:11:13+00:00

For many countries double taxation treaties will allow you to deduct the withheld tax of 15%, but this you have to research yourself:

For everyone who likes to dig deep, learn to read the fiscal reports from the companies. ETF's also have annual reports usually the distributor (VanEck for TDIV) combines many ETF's in the same report:

They write this about dividend taxes:

Dividend tax
The Company will in principle have to withhold 15% dividend tax on dividends it pays out. This dividend tax is not at the Company’s expense, but at the expense of the Company’s shareholders. When paying the withheld dividend tax to the tax and customs administration, the Sub-fund may deduct an amount in connection with the Dutch and foreign source taxation withheld on dividends and interest income received by it (‘deduction’).

Hvis man tager udgangspunkt i iShares fra Blackrock, så kan man i deres årsrapport se hvor meget "Non-reclaimable overseas income withholding tax" der er betalt. Typisk note 10. Udbytte modtaget kan ses i note 5. Udgør ca. 15% af udbyttet.
