I just noticed, that incoming calls do not show the “phone app”, you that overlay where you can accept and decline calls. I just then get a notification. So, in order to accept a call, I have to pull the notifications, look for the “incoming call” notification accept the call there.
This happens only when the screen is already on. When the screen is off, the overlay appears. I think that is very strange behaviour and I’ve never seen that on any other phone/os.
How do I fix that?
This seems to be a general issue and not Fairphone or FP6 specific. At least I’m suffering from that too (see here) and we are definitely not the only ones (see here). Might be worth opening a ticket in GitLab.
@norm I’m having the same issue. This is very frustrating … To open a ticket on Gitlab, you have to have an account, and all of my email addresses are rejected when trying to create an account …
My work around was to install the Fossify Phone app and making it the default phone app.
Ok, I’ve just filed an issue on gitlab.
The solution to the rejected email addresses on gitlab is to first register a “@murena.io” address by registering a workspace account and then register with that address on gitlab.
I do not experience such an issue with my Murena FP6 /e/OS/ 3.7.3 for phone or Signal calls.
I tried the screen on without interaction and with interaction (keyboard when creating an SMS and browsing in Vivaldi).
Same thing happens on my wife’s FP6. My FP4 works as expected, but there is no way for her to answer a call that comes when the screen is already on without pulling down the notifications.
My current workaround is an alternative phone app. However, all except one alternatives had the same problem. The one that actually works is called “koler”. You’ll find it in App Lounge under the " open source" tab. I looks decent and does it’s job, so you may give it a try.
