eOS on Redmi 3s: Audio missing on call & app compatibility isssues

[Brahmatplay]

Turns out eOS has inherited LineageOS’ issues.

Device: Redmi 3s
eOS version: e3.0.1.

1. Missing audio in calls. People have historically fixed this by setting persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall to false in build.prop.

This has been reported on E before

Fix no sound in calls with LeEco S2

I changed from Lineage 17 to /e/ lastest version (1.5) and noticed the same problem that I faced long time ago with Lineage 15 or 16: There is no sound in calls. So I cannot hear the partners voice and the partner cannot hear my voice. With Lineage 15 and 16, I fixed this issue by changing system/build.prop entry “persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall=true” to “persist.vendor.audio.fluence.voicecall=false” (see for more details: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/anhdp7/fix_the_no_so…

2. MicroG is not letting me use Mobiqwik. When this first happened on Lineage 22, I reported on GitHub

com.mobikwik_new: app crashes because of WebView initialization conflict with microG

On Lineage, Mobiquik detects issues. The scanner doesn’t work, but payments go through. With MicroG enabled, it fails to initialize, as indicated in the GitHub report. To circumvent this, I used Shelter to clone Mobiquik. But on eOS, this does not work.

Mobiquik is working on Volla OS, which also implements MicroG

3. Payment app PhonePe is also not working. It tries to auto capture OTP verify but fails. Phonepe works on Lineage OS both with and without Micro G.

Do you have a question?

No NO NO NO NO
I had to type no 4 times because the form wouldn’t let limit me respond in less than 20 characters. This needs improvements too.

they’d need to clone the device repo and do that build.prop fix you suggest. But probably more effective to get this done in the lineage repo?

you can take it up with lineage or e/OS on why it is enabled - android_device_leeco_s2/system.prop at f54cd7f286290e235d43f1bf29f0ff5e3f4c30dd · LineageOS/android_device_leeco_s2 · GitHub and advocate for flipping the boolean last change is going back to 2018 with a larger refactor. Could be anything - if fluence is proprietary and the library got removed or is not included in the flashed vendor but thought to be present or copied over from device local partition… many reasons, I don’t know the…

I can live with 20 characters, helps reduce spam.

So what is your question so far all I have seen is complaining, do you have a question for eOS users?

[Brahmatplay]

Why didn’t i think of this? For now i hope some from E sees this and fixes near term builds.

Meanwhile, i will engage with Lineage to get this cleaned up from the source.

i hope some from E sees this

you need to file an /e/ gitlab ticket if you want that, but a hard sell for a one-off line fix

if you engage with Lineage, go through gerrit

Mobiquik is working on Volla OS, which also implements MicroG

are they ahead in microG version? there was a fix in microG 0.3.8+ for the error type mobiquik put out. /e/OS public versions not yet on 0.3.8+

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can’t set data directory suffix: WebView already initialized

@Brahmatplay

Payment app PhonePe is also not working. It tries to auto capture OTP verify but fails.

can you get a logcat for this failure to attribute it?

[Brahmatplay]

Volla OS is on 0.3.7

I no longer use phonepe
