What's wrong with my fairphone 2?

the screen doesn’t show up like every third time I want to access my phone. big big problem, beacuse it happens mostly when I call somebody. when he/she doesn’t pick up the phone and I want to end the call, I don’t have any chance to do so. voicemail comes up and I need to remove the battery if I want the voicemail to stop. and yes I tried everything from pressing all the buttons, one by one, together, hold them, put my earphones in and out (some phones have a reaction to this). Well, nothing works at all except removing the battery. bravo!

one time I listened to some music via earphones. a friend of mine calls in that moment. I think, well of course I can pick up his call with earphones plugged in. in fact worst decision ever! he said hello with a felt decibel of 120. I was putting down the volume to a minimum. still extremley loud. whats wrong there? no chance to get this to a reasonable volume.

OS updates. I figured out how to get the 1.3.6 running but to be honest isn’t that the job of others? I paid for this phone because I thought amongst other things basic thing will work for sure…never been so wrong…

I don’t understand that point. But please use the update, it may solve some of your problems.

Btw: In the top right corner there is a search function. Many problems have already been discussed, and for some there is a workaround or fix available.
