      When receiving or making calls, the other person sometimes cannot hear me (even though I can hear them). Hanging up and re-calling sometimes fixes the problem, sometimes doesn't. I tried to figure out how to reproduce it, but it feels very random.
      I figured that some telephone numbers work better than others. However, I haven't figured out which work better.
      Has anyone experienced the same problem? How can I get more error output?

        @alexander_schoch I have the exact same problem ! Since my microphone was also stuttering hard I tried recording voice through an app, and it was also inaudible. So I opened the phone, cleaned the contacts, and the stuttering was gone - sadly a common maintenance task with the fp2. But the issue you described persisted ! The incoming call comes through, I'm able to take it, but the caller can't hear me. I also noticed that it's not the case with every phone number - noticeably my friend's phone on lineage never fails to hear me on the phone... it's pretty weird. I'm quite relieved I'm not the only one actually and would now tend to believe it's a software issue... Also sometimes I call a phone I know to be online, and the call doesn't get through - did you experience this too ? Something I know for sure is the calls I receive when I'm at home, inside, are the most likely to result in thecaller not hearing me, even though I have good coverage

          @emphrath I have experienced once that a person i tried to call resulted in "phone number not known", even though the number was correct.

            @alexander_schoch The only way to check if it's hardware-related is to revert back to android to see if the issue persists. If not, it should be reported as an issue on github. As for myself, I'm a bit tired of switching OS back and again, but I guess that's the only way ><
