FP3+: Issues with Android 13 update

To be clear: It is not about the ring tone, but the tones you usually hear when you call somebody. After the update there is (sometimes) nothing but dead air when starting a call.

This is a bit irritating, because you don’t know if you started the call correctly and you don’t realize when the phone is picked up on the other side, until the person speaks.

Interestingly this happens not all the time; sometimes the ring tones are there.
Anybody else realized that and found a workaround?
(I use Vodafone Germany.)

Same here! Acutally I found a workaround that’s working for me.

Open Settings → Network → Sim Card → switch off “4g Calls”

(I’m translating this from a device that uses the german language - I hope, I’ve used the correct english phrases. See also Screenshot.)

If I switch off the “4g Calls” setting, it is possible for me to hear the “dialing tone” when I call somebody instead of hearing “scilence” untill the person that I’ve called says something.

Hope, it helpes as a temporary workaround. Hopefully this minor issue get’s fixed in further updates.

Thanks a lot to the whole fairphone team and the comunity to keep our phones alive!!

Edit: This workaround is inspired by this thread (same issue on an samsung device after an update).
