Duo 2 Android 12L breaks calling

Anonymous

Since the Android 12L update, I have not been able to make or receive calls. Incoming goes straight to voicemail and outgoing immediately ends calls. Carrier is T-Mobile. I suspect the issue is the same at what happened with the AUS phones as listed here Android 12 Breaks Calls — ZenTalk (asus.com)

This required an update to get the calls working again. Is there such as update in the works as right now my due 2 is just a tablet that cannot make calls.

Everything else works btw even calls with WhatsApp and teams

Appreciate that you're trying to "raise visibility for now", but is Microsoft working on fixing this problem? I mean...we all trusted MS enough to buy their phone, and install the update that they provided and said was actually an update, not a downgrade to inoperability.

Can we expect an update to the update, so that we can once again use our phones as...you know...PHONES?

I did the same thing just yesterday (11/14), and my phone worked fine the rest of the day, but again today at around 2pm, it stopped working again, and I had to switch the SIM, power on, power off, switch SIM again, etc., to get my phone working AGAIN.

I'm desperately hoping this isn't going to be a daily requirement...

Since the 12L upgrade, the phone breaks up during phone calls and will eventually kill the call. Sometimes it doesn't complete the outgoing call or doesn't ring for incoming calls and goes straight to VM. My SIM is ATT and I find that the problem is particularly bad when on 5G. Can I roll back to 11?

Did you try a different carrier sim card?
