Android MediaCodec realtime h264 encoding/decoding latency

I'm working with Android MediaCodec and use it for a realtime H264 encoding and decoding frames from camera. I use MediaCodec in synchronous manner and render the output to the Surface of decoder and everething works fine except that I have a long latency from a realtime, it takes 1.5-2 seconds and I'm very confused why is it so. I measured a total time of encoding and decoding processes and it keeps around 50-65 milliseconds so I think the problem isn't in them. I tried to change the configuration of the encoder but it didn't help and currently it configured like this:

val formatEncoder = MediaFormat.createVideoFormat("video/avc", 1920, 1080)
formatEncoder.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_FRAME_RATE, 30)
formatEncoder.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL, 5)
formatEncoder.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE, 1920 * 1080)
formatEncoder.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_COLOR_FORMAT, MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.COLOR_FormatSurface)
val encoder = MediaCodec.createEncoderByType("video/avc")
encoder.configure(formatEncoder, null, null, MediaCodec.CONFIGURE_FLAG_ENCODE)
val inputSurface = encoder.createInputSurface() // I use it to send frames from camera to encoder
encoder.start()

Changing the configuration of the decoder also didn't help me at all and currently I configured it like this:

val formatDecoder = MediaFormat.createVideoFormat("video/avc", 1920, 1080)
val decoder = MediaCodec.createDecoderByType("video/avc")
decoder.configure(formatDecoder , outputSurface, null, 0) // I use outputSurface to render decoded frames into it
decoder.start()

I use the following timeouts for waiting for available encoder/decoder buffers I tried to reduce their values but it didn't help me and I left them like this:

var TIMEOUT_IN_BUFFER = 10000L // microseconds
var TIMEOUT_OUT_BUFFER = 10000L // microseconds

Also I measured the time of consuming the inputSurface a frame and this time takes 0.03-0.05 milliseconds so it isn't a bottleneck. Actually I measured all the places where a bottleneck could be, but I wasn't found anything and I think the problem is in the encoder or decoder itself or in their configurations, or maybe I should use some special routine for sending frames to encoding/decoding..

I also tried to use HW accelerated codec and it's the only thing that helped me, when I use it the latency reduces to ~ 500-800 milliseconds but it still doesn't fit me for a realtime streaming.

It seems to me that the encoder or decoder buffers several frames before start displaying them on the surface and eventually it leads to the latency and if it really so then how can I disable bufferization or reduce the time of it?

Please help me I'm stucking on this problem for about half a year and have no idea how to reduce the latency, I'm sure that it's possible because popular apps like Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp etc. work fine and without latency so what's the secret here?

I still haven't found a solution to get rid of the latency. I've tried to change h264 profiles, increase and decrease I-frame inteval, bitrate, framerate, but result the same, the only thing that hepls a little to reduce the latency - downgrade the resolution from 1920x1080 to e.g. 640x480, but this "solution" doesn't suit me because I want to encode/decode a realtime video with 1920x1080 resolution.
