Research direction

Reproduce the issue with two smartphones and a delayed laptop using the listed call durations and versions. Trace how phone-call duration and message send-time language are synchronized and displayed across clients. Done means every device reports the actual call duration consistently and the send-time language is consistent.

Expected behavior

  • All phone calls report the same duration
  • Language of message send time should be consistent (english and german Std. on NixOS desktop)

What did you try to achieve?

Actual behavior

Duration displayed on devices that are not used for phone calls is eigheter < 1 Min (both smartphones) or even "128 minutes" (NixOS Laptop).

Notes:

First two Phone calls were made on Huawei Mate 20.
Last (third) Phone call was made on Pixel7Pro.
NixOS Laptop was turned on after approx. 2 hours (matching the wrong call duration of 128 Minutes displayed on deltachat-desktop)

What happened instead?

Steps to reproduce the problem
  1. Connect three devices to the same deltachat account
  2. Start a phone Call from device1 of at least 1 minute duration
  3. Start a phone Call from device2 of at least 3 minutes duration (to differ from call 1)
  4. Turn on Laptop (two hours or some time later) and optionally start a third call
