Hello,
I recently updated my fairphone 5 to android 14, and since then I was unable to receive many calls as the phone would not ring and not vibrate. It only shows a silent notifications saying “missed call, silent mode”.
Even though the volume is set, vibration is active and DnD is off.
Now yesterday I updated to android 15, and my alarm does not work anymore. Woke up this morning an hour late with a notification saying “missed alarm, your alarm volume was too low 14%”. I did not change the volume whatsoever but it apparently did.
Searching on the internet, it seems to be common bugs with these updates, also affecting pixel owners.
I am furious. I cannot use my phone for its two main purposes: calls and alarms.
I hoped the first bug was resolved by the update, but it now seems worse.
Anybody got any workaround, fix or way to downgrade to android 13?
What I find insane is that FairPhone pushed those updates without testing them properly. These bugs may not be exclusive to their phones, but it affects their users as well.
Absolutely but I’m glad its this bug and not something more annoying. It only triggers occasionally and in a very apparent way for the user, and there is a workaround which is simple, fast and reliable. Things could be much worse.
