Phone doesn't ring

I know what you are talking about, because on my E5 I do/did have this very rarely. It used to be more. Since OTA 6 it is gone together with another nasty bug (screen not unlocking on incoming calls and so on).
Did you/do you change your volume? In the German telegram group someone was describing the same problem (see: https://t.me/UBports_Deutsch/25623). There was the idea that it might be connected to the sound volume. With a volume of approx. 45%-55% it is more likely to have this bug.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my BQ E5 which is still under Ubuntu Touch for the moment. It seemed to me that restarting the phone from time to time avoids the problem but this is without guarantee.

Have a nice day

@pulsar33 I don't think that restarting helps to solve the problem. My phone is off during every night and gets started on the next day. So there's a reboot every day.

@danfro The description mentioned in the telegram group is exactly the behavior I have with my phone. And yes, the Volume is in my case normally around 40-50%.

@kristatos : OK, I was not sure ... Now I am
Anyway, it's an old bug

Looking in the ~/.cache/upstart/dbus.log I found sound goes to pause when I don't hear the sound ringing.

...

When the sound is normal I see in the logfile it is playing:

Have you opened a bug report and commited the log-files from above? I think the link to an old (canonical) bug report is nice to have but won't fix the issue.

@kristatos I just did, thanks

Hope this helps fixing the bug. In my opinion it seems that for me this issue isn't happening as often as in earlier days. But this also could be imagination.
