Can't make or receive phonecalls pinephone

[KarolinaK]

My calls still works but when I'm in a conversation I can barely hear the other person even though I have the volume on the highest. Other people can hear me excellently though

@KarolinaK I am having the exact same issue. Call volume and the overall volume of the phone is not loud. I can't hear it ring when it's in my pocket when I'm out in public. I can hear other people in a call, but just barely. My volume is turned all the way up.

Allright got it working again.

Connection type:
2G/3G/4G

APN is set to:

Name: Vodafone
APN: web.vodafone.de

turns out every time I do a restart calls completely stop working, but I've found a method that seems to be working reliably:

When restarting always Power off instead of using the restart option.
Once everything is back on go to the Carrier & APN settings tick the little box next to your APN again
then manually select the carrier again.

@tricky 4G is only for internet, it doesn't support calls. When calling, the phone (regardless of OS, type or carrier) will change automaticly to 3G and after the call ends, it will turn back to 4G.

@C0n57an71n
4G Work for calls if carrier and phone support VoLTE, voice over LTE.

On the OP3 and other devices, you can select 2g/3G/4G and its fine, but on the pinephone it can have difficulties if you don't manually select 2G/3G.

I don't think people care to much about not being able to use 4G when they're in a phone call, but just that they cant get phone calls if 4G is selected as an option.

I'm on T-Mobile in the US with my Pinephone UBPorts Community Edition phone. I installed all updates from System Settings. But outgoing calls fail. Incoming calls seem to work.

@rvndpr
I was using att (USA),and found if,l left the 2/3/4g settings blank,made no entry, it would work and accept the other APN settings ,and let me check mark the little box

@Marathon2422

How do leave 2G/3G/4G blank with no entry? It appears a selection must be made to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@livanti21
When you enter your APN , then save it,---after you reboot ,and go back to check which APN is being used ,do you get a little box that you need to put a check mark or tick in ?
The 2/3/4g part , I just moved on to the next item, I did not select any of them ( I was using Consumer Cellular,(att).
