@pureosuser, Maybe we can identify the problem with more info. Who is your cellular carrier?
When you make a phone call, does the 2G/3G/4G indicator at the top of the screen change?
Is it different when using cellular data?
What Linux kernel are you using? What cellular modem?
I’ve been using SIMple, which is not functioning at the moment. The 4G indicator stays persistent. I rarely use cellular data. Using the latest PureOS. I’ll be able to try again once the new network provider is activated.
I don’t know if it helps, but this also happens to me. I’m using Tello/T-Mobile and 4G. The kernel is 6.0.0-1-librem5. The modem is BM818-A1.
Was there a fix for this? My phone had the constant ringing problem with the 44 update. Not the “No ringing on my end” problem. That was working fine. I reverted back to 43 to help with the constant ringing problem. That’s when this problem started. I wasn’t too concerned because It was just annoying, the calls still went through. I thought the new update would fix whatever I did when reverting back to 43. It didn’t. Just looking for some suggestions.
Thanks
Bump,
Anything new on this? I still have this problem.
For the record, many phones have been shipped with VoLTE enabled by default, and I’m pretty sure that includes all phones shipped with AweSIM/SIMple.
The issue of no calling tone on outgoing calls has nothing to do with Calls and its version. It’s between the network and the modem. If your network does not provide calling tone in VoLTE, you may still hear it in cases where the phone drops to 3G or 2G.
No.
How can you tell. VolTE Is enabled
Be glad that VoLTE is working for you, which is what sounds like is happening because the call setup seems to be happening immediately which means it’s probably a VoLTE call. The ringback tone though probably sounds like something with the carrier.
You can tell by the speed of call setup. If it’s very fast to set up it’s most likely a VoLTE call.
Also, “4G” should drop to something lower during a call if VoLTE is not enabled/working.
Ooh ok thanks
I experience this behaviour too. No signals heard at my and then suddenly, the call is connected and I hear the person at the other end going “Hello, hello…?”. It is like I miss the first greeting phrase from the receiving party. I get the same experience with or without VoLTE enabled.
I’m facing the same issue after flashing the modem for receiving calls while the L5 is in suspend (which works fine now).
I turned VoLTE off on my phone, and now I hear ringtones when placing outgoing calls. So it seems related to VoLTE, but the more annoying thing than lack of ringtones is that I seem to not here the answering phrase of the receiving party when I have VoLTE turned on.
It also seems VoLTE on the L5 have the effect that calls to some numbers get disconnected directly then the receiving party answers. That has been a recurring problem for quite some time now when I was calling my spouse. You could have thought that maybe she had put me on a block list, but no, without VoLTE she can answer without the call being terminated.
I have the no-ringing problem too. I think it started after I flashed the latest firmware to the modem in order to enable wake-up-from-suspend and VoLTE.
Can’t do without them.
I think that after today’s updates this problem is fixed for me🤞
Well, not for me. I haven’t heard a ring on the other side for any calls over the last week or so.
You can’t expect people to make calls this way.
same issue with AweSIM, with no ringing when placing calls using the T-Mobile network. You just wait and someone picks up, might be great to create a fake ringing tone on the client side as a workaround, and just cancel it once connection is established?
I think the ringing tone is really just an indicator that call has been placed and waiting to be established by the recipient picking up. Start ringing when outbound call is made, stop ringing when call is established, the below would be an example of a stop signal - stop ringing when ‘MO CONNECTED’, that all seems to be manageable with AT modem commands, independent of what the network operator is doing? VoLTE wouldn’t it send equivalent signals to GSM that a modem can understand?:
AT+CLCC=1
AT+MORING=<mode>
<mode> 0 - Not show call state of mobile originated call 1 - Show call state of mobile originated call. After the call number is dialed, the URC strings of MO RING will be sent if another call is alerted and the URC strings of MO CONNECTED will be sent if the call is established.
`AT+MORING=1`
will enable a family of URCs in case of Mobile Originated call, in the form MO RING - the call is alerted.
MO CONNECTED - the call is established
depending on modem, the above is a SIM900 GSM module.

I’ve noticed when I call a land line, I hear the ringing like it’s supposed to do.
