PSA: Samsung - disabling com.sec.sve breaks WiFi calls
Your phone: SM-G960F
Describe the issue With WiFi calls enabled and supported by the carrier (French carrier SFR for me), when making a call to a capable or non-capable recipient, the call instantly drops as soon as the recipient picks up.
You have a solution?
Enable com.sec.sve again.
Just wanted to let know anybody having a hard time with this. I initially noticed this by doing a bissection of all my manually disabled packages before I stumbled upon UAD. I see that UAD recommends disabling this package, which in some case could prevent an interesting feature from working.
Cheers, and thanks for making this cool tool.
Are you sure it's com.sec.sve that causes the issues? Documentation calls that package "SecVideoEngineService", which should have nothing to do with Wi-Fi/VOIP calls.
Wi-Fi/VOIP calls usually have to do with .ims packages. Have you disabled any of those?
Hello! No I'm pretty sure: I can reproduce the problem by disabling it, rebooting, initiating a WiFi call: it stops as soon as my recipient picks up. Simply fixed by re-enabling it and rebooting (the reboot seems required though). I really don't know why, and I 100% agree with you regarding the description. Might aswell be an interaction specific on my device... Even though I really don't have much installed.
What I didn't do: reproduce the bug with logcat open. Could help understanding what happens! I'll try to provide that in a few days.

Do you have some time for this? :slightly_smiling_face:
Hey! I finally could have a look at this today
Here is the logcat dump.
I don't understand much here, not an Android developer at all.
But... You can see those SecVideoEngineManager: SVE service is not ready!.
As for why it's such a critical issue... :shrug:
Hi, bumping this thread because I have the same issue. I found a thread here and using the text file from the last comment thread as a reference. Lastly leaving com.sec.sve package alone makes WiFi calling working again. Phone must be rebooted with com.sec.sve installed to ensure the WiFi calling function working.
Please remove com.sec.sve from Recommended list because WiFi calling is quite an important function for daily use.
Hi, I can also confirm on a S21 FE. Disabling the com.sec.sve app, breaks the VoWifi.
Thanks you for your feedback!
com.sec.sve app is already in the Expert list. I've added a note stating it will break wifi-calling (instead of may break)
