when i call family the calls usually fuck up alot. either they hear me and i don’y hear them or vice versa… or calls just entirely drop.

this is irregardless of it being over phonelines or a VoIP like Signal.

we both use stock android so far but i really intend to move us both to atleast an open source fork of android, leaving a secondary device with stock android to comply with demands of having a digital ID for citizenship stuff like banks online payments and logging into government sites.

but to reiterate: why do stock android fuck up calls so much? is it just intended to fuck with people’s mental health, like an agent programmed to do this or is it ineptitude on the behalf of billion dollar corporations?
