OP3 echo on phone calls observation

[teostar]

Hi, I'm new here however I've read on a few rom threads about an echo on voice calls. Today I started experiencing the echo for the 1st time and I think I have and idea what's the cause.

I am running freedomos ce v1.10 but I've seen the issue as a known bug on other ROMs and it doesn't affect everyone.

I think it affects those of us who flash the pixel dialer, maybe other dialers as well but in my case it's the pixel dialer.

Why do I think so?
Today it started, i received a call and I noticed the call screen was the default phone app screen not the pixel screen. (I've disabled the stock app). but somehow its still activating when there's an incoming call.
Also after accepting the call I notice 2 phone icons in the status bar suggesting maybe that there's 2 phone calls active.

I've checked and the stock phone app is still disabled so there may be an OS level trigger still allowing it to accept incoming calls.

Wrong place to post this.

OK, maybe a mod can move it to the correct area. I didn't post in any specific rom thread since it occurs on various ROMs.

I'm not using pixels dialer and I have echo bug.

When it happens do you notice the double phone icons in the status bar?

Nope, one icon..

In which threads you have read about the echo issue? This issue is mainly present on the nougat roms and it's due to the audio hal, however workaround was found and now everything is fine(when you flash the fix ofc). I have never had this issue on MM roms and especially on stock(ye, freedom rom is stock based), so maybe the problem you have is really somewhere with the apps you use. And can you tell how did you find that you have the issue?

As I stated I noticed that incoming calls seemed to come in the stock phone app not the pixel dialer. But because the stock app is disabled think that may have been the issue.

Here's what happens for me.

Do you have root? If yes, just go to the system folder, find the app that you don't want to use and rename it(add .back at the end), so you can revert to it later if you want, then reboot

I'm not sure which is the stock phone app. Apart from "Google dialer" there's "OPincalui", "phonesky", "telecom" and "telephonyprovider"
I'm not sure which is the actual phone app.

I would eliminate Phonesky (Play Store), and TelephonyProvider from the list because those are not directly tied to the phone app.

I have the same problem. Freedom OS, stock kernel and google dialer and contacts....

Actually you should be able to see the app icon when you go to the folder, so try with some other file manager that support this function. I can bet that OPIncallUI is the dialer, but to be sure, try with other manager

OK, with solid explorer I see this. It gets even more confusing...

Rename the OPIncallUI, don't touch the other apps, that should do the job

OK, just rename the apk, not the actual folder?

Just the .apk, rename it to .apk.back and if you get problems just rename it back to .apk
