Caller echo on FP5 in WhatsApp on Waydroid (may affect more devices)
-
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm not quite certain if this is the correct category for this post, so I'd really appreciate some guidance on where to move it if necessary. I'll also provide version numbers bellow, feel free to ask me about any useful info that I may have left out.
I've been daily driving Ubuntu Touch on my Fairphone 5 for almost 6 months now and I'm really happy with it. However, there is an issue that I've been unable to solve by tinkering around on my own.
While running Whatsapp inside the Waydroid container installed via Waydroid Helper, the caller can hear themself through my mic with a big delay, which makes it incredibly frustrating to maintain a conversation.
I did some research and found out that this was a "device specific" issue on the Oneplus 3/3T:

I lack the experience and knowledge to figure out how to fix this on my device so I would really appreciate some help.Let me know if there is any specific steps I could take to help resolve this audio issue for everyone, as that really is my goal here. Thank you so much for your attention to this matter!
Version numbers and useful info:
Device: Fairphone 5
OS: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3
Waydroid OS: LineageOS 20-20260403-VANILLA-waydroid_arm64
Waydroid Helper version: 3.3.0 -
@Perrete The post location is fine but I've made your topic a bit easier to find by adding tags and adjusting the title. 'Calls' will usually refer to telephony, so it's relevant that you are actually using voicechat in WhatsApp; furthermore it's good to let people know that you are doing this in Waydroid, not natively.
Best of luck and I hope you find a good solution!By the way, have you tried this?

@Moem Thank you for such a rapid response and for adding tags to my post. I honestly forgot you could add those
.
The truth is I actually didn't know about Whatsnew's ability to make calls, so thank you for bringing that to my attention. However, I usually make video calls and those are not currently supported by the app. It's such a shame since its really the only good reason to have me using Waydroid much if at all. I really hope they can get them working soon.
I'm going to try and figure something out but I really don't want to break my daily's audio in the process so I don't know how much further I'll personally go into this. I'll keep you posted. -
@Perrete You're welcome! There's another app that may in time offer what you are looking for, and will probably become available soon:
