My phone tends to suffer from two problems - which may or may not be
related. [Moto g(6)plus, Android 9, Build: PPW29-116-20-28]

Firstly, it sometimes refuses to answer an incoming call. I can tap
Accept, or swipe up - depending on what it was doing at the time - but
it just goes on ringing until it goes to voicemail.

Secondly, I frequently lose incoming sound in the middle of a call. The
person the other end can apparently hear me, but I can't hear them. [The
call starts ok with 2-way speech, but this typically happens a minute or
so into the call.

Any clues on what to look for?

I'm not experiencing any problems with calls...

The only problem I notice is that the warning sounds, like an incoming
message in Whatsapp, is not reliable, sometimes I don't hear it. But
other people had the same problem with other phones.

I suspect your phone is just "too busy" or "too loaded". Either a
bloated app, or too many apps.

Roger, please fix your newsreader. Your Newsgroups line has (illegal)
quote characters (") and one too many commas (,).

Fixed broken Newsgroups line:

> Newsgroups: comp.mobile.android,",uk.telecom.mobile"

That - no audible notification for a new message - is probably a
WhatsApp issue. We get the same on our two phones, for example even when
the phone is lying on the table next to us, so there's no way we didn't
hear the notification sound. Somewhat annoying, but we can live with it.

$DRIFT OFF

Resending with group name corrected.

Sorry - that's because I was trying to post to more than one newsgroup
and couldn't find any info on what separator to use in Thunderbird.
Anyone know?

You don't add any separator. Thunderbird adds them internally. Once it
recognizes one newsgroup, it is highlighted and edit is "blocked" (edit
again with f2).
