System hangs on receiving calls from apps using /e/OS

Since several weeks I have a very annoying problem: whenever someone calls me through an app (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Signal etc.), after I pick up, my phone hangs and I have to restart it. No problems receiving calls through the traditional way, (i.e. the Phone app) however.

My Fairphone 3 runs /e/OS Android 10, and is rooted.

Any suggestions for solving this?

  • you might check also on the /e/ Forum if someone has an idea or the same problem
  • you might use ADB shell top to check if you see a blocking process on an incoming call (in case the adb connection then still works)

Here’s a shot in the dark: are you using an SD card? And if you are, could you try removing it and then receiving an Internet call while it’s not inserted?
