ERROR on calls with hotspot

[Xamyrz]

I was hoping that this app would work with a hotspot turned-ON on one of the phones. the call is incoming, but then it errors out. I've ran a debugger and it displays

reportStateChange() state=ERROR_COMMUNICATION
onStateChange() state=ERROR_COMMUNICATION

Is there a possibility for a fix? I'd really like to get it to work for rides on a motorbike without much extra gear other than a phone :)

Hi, this is a known issue. I suspect the problem with WebRTC. But it is hard to debug. I would need to compile WebRTC myself. But this is far from trivial (there is https://github.com/threema-ch/webrtc-build-docker).

I tried to compile WebRTC myself to debug this, but then the App crashes. :/

I hope there is a fix. Maybe an alternative to WebRTC could be added?

[mwarning]

I look at this issue once in a while. Compiling WebRTC is not trivial. @ElonSatoshi something other compared to WebRTC would be a major rewrite.

The thethering code from the webrtc ML works. :-) But now I wonder how to bring this into WebRTC..

[mwarning]

Please try Meshenger 4.3.1. It is intended to fix the issue.

I've just tried it there. Google pixel 8 as tether and Samsung S21 connecting. After picking up it still errors out on incoming device and outgoing states 'connected' and closes the call few seconds later. No access to pc to debug the errors

[mwarning]

hm, this is unfortunate. Then more debugging needs to be done. It is working for me. :/

[mwarning]

It may very well dependent on the device.

@Xamyrz did you use a usb dongle with your phone or did your phone create a hotspot?

[Xamyrz]

No dongles were used

The attached apk seems to be the wrong version. @Xamyrz can you check if it says 4.3.1 on the "About" page? I have attached a new apk to https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android/releases/tag/v4.3.1

[Xamyrz]

Yes, you're right on this! It works flawlessly right now! Thank you :)

[mwarning]

@Xamyrz can you also try the 4.3.2 pre (first link) release?

• https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android/releases/download/v4.3.1/meshenger_4.3.2-pre.apk
• https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android/releases/download/v4.3.1/meshenger-4.3.1.apk
• https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android/releases/download/v4.3.0/meshenger-4.3.0.apk

Meshenger cannot be released to F-Droid with the current approach (webrtc lib in the repository). So I thought of a different solution. It works for me. But I would like to have another confirmation.

[Xamyrz]

@mwarning 4.3.2 Pre works :)

[mwarning]

@Xamyrz awesome, then enjoy the 4.3.2 release. :)

[Xamyrz]

Thank you for pushing this out! Will give it a go on a motorbike with my partner in couple days. No more loosing signal on whatsapp/cellular calls between us

[mwarning]

@Xamyrz cool, let me know how it works for you.
