Support for calls via hardwired ethernet internet on Kompakt

This is fabulous, @urszula I am so happy.

Along with my questions about EMF and SAR while on flight mode - here: IS the Mudita Kompakt a smartphone? I best ask how much testing Kompakt had for USB-C insertion and removal without failure.

I know a lot of drop testing went on to assure of robustness for everyday impacts. Has testing occurred of how many times the USB-C port will tolerate insertion and removal of a cable? I will be doing this for both charging and ethernet connectivity.

I ask because my ethernet cable port on my computer eventually died and I am committed to low-emf, wired in technology use for well-being, so I am interested how long the USB-C port is likely to last. It’s a much bigger deal if it dies than if a cable dies! My computer was not unplugged and re-plugged nearly as often as a phone will be.

This is a test that ideally would be done until failure of the connection, to give an idea how long it’s likely to last. I am very unlikely to drop my phone as many times as your drop test, but this one is high use and I’ve no idea how durable USB-C ports are. or if there’s technique that will better preserve it. This is worthy of attention for the sake of preserving the hardware. @kirkmahoneyphd is the main contributor here who mentions regular use of phone via ethernet cable, but there must be others who’ve thought about this. My current phone worked well with cable adapter to the phone until recently when the internet drops in and out. Obviously this is a total disaster, ending usefulness. I guess I buy another adapter to see, but i don’t see any sign of damage and wasn’t moving the cord when the dropouts occurred. Overcome these kind of hardware challenges is crucial for wired in internet connectivity.
