Read form other users with Vodafone the same, so would advise to contact support about this.
Contacting Vodafone support is the way to go. A workaround is to disable âEnhanced 4G LTE Servicesâ, but please try Vodafone support firstâŚ
I will, thanks. I just donât really understand why it should be their âproblemâ, as everything worked fine before the update.

It seems that you did not use VoLTE before and it might have been enabled on your phone while the latest update was applied to it.

Iâm on Vodafone Germany as well and Iâm 100% sure I had VoLTE enabled before the update too. But the âunknown numberâ problem (re-)appeared only after the update.

Then please call Vodafone support first, maybe their central FP3(+) profile needs to be reconfigured/-initializedâŚ
In my experience talking to Vodafone about Fairphone issues has a 0% success rate. You basically never even find somebody who understands what youâre talking about. FP has to sort this out with them.
@formerFP.Com.Manager, would you be so kind and also notify the developers that at least for Vodafone Germany, this update re-introduces an old bug that causes all callers to be displayed as âunknown numberâ? Thanks.

I suggest to encourage other FP3(+) users with Vodafone Germany as their provider to report here first, because two reported cases so far might not be quite representative to Fairphone to start actionâŚ
@DeepSea, the same problem here: FP3+, VF Germany, âunknownâ since update.
I got the FP3+ a couple of weeks ago and didnât change anything in the regarding settings.

You can either try to switch the OS slot back to the OS version before the update, or you can use the manual install procedure with an older OS version from here.
If you can locate fairphoneangels in your vicinity on the communitymap, they might be able to assist you.

In my FP3+'s settings there is no option âEnhanced 4G LTE Servicesâ, but âPreferred Network typeâ. There I can choose
- 2G/3G/4G auto (default)
- 2G/3G auto
- 3G only
- 2G only
Deselecting the first would be a bad idea, as 3G is no longer available from VF GermanyâŚ

Both would require unlocking the bootloader, and Iâm not sure whatâs the best between resetting your phone and losing your data, and living with these issues.

Is it confirmed somewhere that switching the slots with fastboot requires an unlocked bootloader?
True, but the manual install instructions strongly advise to backup your data first in order to not lose your data.
Quite obviously they donât have enough (competent) people for QA (and probably development). Letâs hope they find someone capable for the open position of Android Quality Support Specialist (deadline to apply is today!)âŚ

One of the first tasks for this new employee will be to install a public FP3(+) bug trackerâŚ

That would be very helpful, but it would mean that everybody could see the long list of problems with the devices, confirmed by Fairphone. Which is something no other vendor does. It could really hurt their sales. So not a chance Iâm afraid. But I hope to be surprised.
