Instability maintaining bluetooth connection when device is vertical in a busy area

Hi,
I feel like I’m going insane…

whenever i am in a busy area, aka a train station or street, my fp6 has trouble maintaining a connection (audio fully cuts out and does not get through at all)with my sony xm6s if it is in my trouser pocket vertically/ or i am holding it vertically while walking, but if I hold it horizontally (screen facing up) it maintains the connection fine.
I did not have this issue with my previous phone (redmi note 13 pro5g) in the same locations and the same pair of headphones, so i am lead to believe it is the fairphone having issues

Has anyone else had this issue? thanks

I have the same issue and already regret switching back to fairphone (switched to Xiaomi after i lost all my data on FP3).

No problem with the same headphones on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro.

With my new FP6 the audio is even chopped when i have it have it vertically in my pockets in not very busy areas most of the time. Also have the same problems if i take a run and have it in my side pocket on my running shorts. Never had this issue once with my old phone.

@philipwilk May I ask if you have found a solution for this?

I tried resetting my Bluetooth and WLAN settings to no avail. (After I tried removing the headphones and pairing them again, changing every single Bluetooth option in the developer settings individually, restarting the phone etc. etc.)

walking faster to get out of the areas where the phone can’t handle it lol
