Multiple seconds of delay before audio works when answering voice or video call #11354
Comments
Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward? This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. |
this is still an issue. i'm using version 5.35.3 i can submit more logs if that would be helpful. if there's anything useful i could do to help track this down, i'd be happy to help. |
Hi @spagy, yes some updated logs would definitely help to find a cause for the issue. |
thanks for re-opening the issue. i'll provide some updates on the issue as well as a few debug logs. updates
this affects almost every call. although, today i answered a call and unexpectedly the audio was connected straight away (or at least it wasn't the normal 10-12 second delay). i have a debug log from just after this call. i cannot remember any other recent video call, regardless of who started it, that didn't start with a delay. debug logs

Could provide timestamps of when the delayed calls were made/received? The logs have multiple calls in them so it's hard to know exactly which ones are experiencing the problem. |
yep, will do. the last call in each log should be the relevant one. i've edited my comment above to include the timestamp (provided in the app UI) of the call next each debug log link. i think debug log links used to point to plain text files but now point to encrypted or compressed logs that i don't know how to view. are the logs only available to signal contributors or is there still some way for me to view them? |
Thanks! They are compressed gz files now to save data/space. You can extract them by downloading the file, adding .gz to the end and then using gzip to decompress them into raw text. |
fab, thanks! i got as far as running |
Bug description
Video call
When I receive a call, I press the green button to start the call.
The screen remains unchanged, still displaying the buttons to answer the call.
After multiple seconds I will hear a noise that indicates the start of a call.
The screen shown during the call then appears and video becomes visible.
At the point when the video becomes visible, the call duration is usually already about 12 seconds.
Voice call
When I receive a call, I press the green button to start the call.
The screen changes to the normal in-call screen, I can see the duration of the call at the top of the screen, the seconds start to count.
However, I cannot hear the other person and I don't think they can hear me.
After multiple seconds I will hear a noise that seems to indicate the start of a call.
Steps to reproduce
Actual result: The call will start, but there is no audio or video for multiple seconds. This causes confusion and results in lots of calls starting with "can you hear me"s.
Expected result: The call starts audio and video work almost instantaneously (within less than a second at least).
Device info
Device: Motorola Moto G6
Android version: 11
Signal version: 5.11.5

To my untrained eye it looks like the call is answered at 2021-06-01 18:29:00 and video becomes visible at 2021-06-01 18:29:12
