Hello, thinking about buying FP5, though I wondered if it supports display output over USB-C, when I searched for it I only found that FP4 does have the support. Can anybody confirm that 5 has it too? Additionaly if androids default desktop mode also works?

Since today, the play/pause button on my JBL Club One suddenly stopped working with my Fairphone 4. Its working with other devices. Yesterday it was working fine.
I followed this Bluetooth troubleshooting guide, but the problem still persist in Safe Mode. Resetting storage and connection settings did not work.
Yesterday, two native apps updated: Google and SIM Manager. Both of those are also active in Safe Mode. Could either one of those be the issue? Nothing else has changed since I used the headphones yesterday.
Or does anyone else have an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have ideas for where could I get a really panzer, durable protective case for a Fairphone 5? I don't mean slightly bumped edges and slightly tougher plastic, I mean a full balls-to-the-wall kinda case like Juggernaut Case for Samsungs and iPhones or older iBlason cases fo Samsung Actives (recently they quality dropped at least for newer flagship Samsungs) with huge bumpers and built-in screen protector. I do a lot of urbex and I have side gigs on industrial sites, so it has to be really durable and protective.
