Frankly, having a bug like this not being addressed with the highest priority possible is embarrassing. I would accept this type of bug from an open source project, not from a company selling quite an expensive phone that’s marketed as lasting longer than competitors thanks to its modularity. Modularity is a nice feature, but people also rely on their phones to work. Everyone has mentioned online payments and Spotify being killed while a song is playing, but I’ve also had issues with photos or videos not being saved, which is infuriating.
I work in software development and we’d never just say “yeah we’re working on it” without even a deadline in sight for something that is clearly affecting a lot of people who paid money for the product. What I’m reading about software being outsourced, if true, is terrible too.
Like others, I have made a decision to switch to a different vendor and I will warn everyone I know to be very careful about buying anything from this company.
I’ve also had a lot of problems with photos not being saved, I suppose it may also be related to this although I’d not necessarily characterised it as such. A significant portion of photos appear to be corrupt, not sure how much space they’re taking on the device. Have a feeling it may tend to happen when I switch screen off while they’re saving but I haven’t attempted to test more carefully.
Two days after the upgrade, I can report that it seems to improve, as firefox is not kill in the background.
Still after using video confrensing as google meet/ whatsup call , I still get break-ups in the audio I hear, as well as the remote partner after about ten minutes in to the call.
