Great, missed another hospital call because Android *again* spontaneously failed to make any noise when I got a call, even though the phone was literally right next to me the entire time

How the fuck do you develop a phone OS and make the *primary functionality* of a phone not work reliably

So I just caught my Android in the process of breaking; it went off, made no noise, "getting called" animation was showing on the screen, but swiping up did nothing, it just bounced back down and didn't pick up the call. Didn't matter how often I tried.

So yeah, it's definitely just the phone app that's fucked.

I am clearly not the only one with this problem: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/144103327/unable-to-answer-calls-when-phone-rings?hl=en
