Element-android: Element Fdroid cant do calls

Created on 29 Jul 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: vector-im/element-android

Hi,

I installed Element (1.0.0) from Fdroid. Everything seems to work except proper calling. I can engage the call button, and it starts some calling window but the other side never rings, and I do not get any ringing at all. It seem like this is some kind of bogus call, although this creates some activity with my Coturn (only when I drop the call by pressing the red phone button on the screen) which I setup in Synapse (Debian) setting file.

It feels like it never engages with the server or the other side fully.

I also have Riot (Fdroid) on the phone and this one has no problem calling my users, in fact I have been using it for couple years for callling.

Synapse/1.17.0
Debian Testing
Coturn 4.5.1.3-1
Element 1.0.0
Android 9

I use the matrix.org servers and I have the same behavior with Element (can't call but can receive a call) and the old Riot.im (everything is ok).
I have also shake my phone to send a log to the maintainers ;-)

Element 1.0.0 (fdroid)
Riot.Im 0.9.12 (fdroid, please don't delete this app from fdroid repos before solving this problem! ;-) )
Lineageos 14.1
Android 7.1.2

I have the same annoying bug after updating Element to 1.0.5 (Fdroid) and my OS to LineageOS Android 10 (without Gapps).

This is still an issue :( I had couple dev versions that kid of worked (with some echo issue) but most of the time this fails, I just tried the latest dev version. I wish someone had a clue why this is the case.

For me, the bug seems to be gone with Element 1.0.9.
I can call now.
