I have worked quite extensively on the PinePhone, though only for my own purposes. Have been dogfooding my own system for months as a daily driver, and have implemented quite a lot of things, except for one thing: voice calling.

Even Google and Apple have problems getting that 1 thing working reliably (even though half of smartphone is supposed to be a phone) - I don't even try to take a stab at it. There is some serious bug every once in a while, which sounds so ridiculous... I just carry a dumb Nokia for calls, and for everything else, I can use my slab (assuming its battery is still not dead)

I think this particular issue has only been reported on Pixel phones. Since I searched for it throughout the internet (for a solution), I found a dozen of reports with similar issues as mine. I never experienced this on any other phone.
possibly a very dumb question: can you sue google in small claims court for the money you spent on a defective phone?
