FP6 Called complain about bad call quality

Fairphone 6, German D2 net via Freenet (no 5G usage).

I got full bars and can hear everybody perfectly clear but those I have called complain it sounds like I had very bad connection.

Any ideas?

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

what version are you on? this was a recent fp6 call audio thread (and in there another audio thread linked) that said things seemed to have improved with v3.2

3.2 A15-20251022 and too many numbers.

I could rule out that it was related to my bumper (that’s another story tho)

Problem seems to be especially big with landline connections

In case other /e/ users might be able to help (official or community) [HOWTO] Give complete /e/OS version info easily for support, answers, comparison etc copy is available rather than recall from memory.

Nobody got an idea? Today I had a chance to hear it myself. Sounds like very bad reception.

Then I switched to external speaker and the problem was gone.

Should I switch my preferred network to “Global”? Right now it’s NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA.

Germany by the way

I previously linked into the FP6 repo audio/ where you could see if somebody noticed your issue.

If nothing is happening it commits are months in the past, there’s no other fix coming.

File this as bug and link the threads in the forum.

Imo it’s obviously about the audio plumbing itself if the audio instantly improves if it audio takes another path

I’ve been having the exact same issue myself since I bought my FP6 with /e/os in September, I’m also running version 3.2-a15-20251022539003-official-FP6 but the problem was there before. From what I can see here it seems like they might be releasing a bugfix in the upcoming version 3.3, although the thread is mainly about bad quality of the audio while recording videos they also mention phone calls and I think the issues are related. I’m waiting for the new release to check if it’s solved.

Is there a timeframe when 3.3 will be released? It’s weird to start every call with “do you understand me?”
