contents Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be linear forms of real-valued independent random variables. By Heyde's theorem, if the conditional distribution of $L_2$ given $L_1$ is symmetric, then the random variables are Gaussian. A number of papers are devoted to generalisation of Heyde's theorem to the case, where independent random variables take values in a locally compact Abelian group $X$. The article continues these studies. We consider the case, where $X$ is either a totally disconnected group or is of the form $\mathbb{R}^n\times G$, where $G$ is a totally disconnected group consisting of compact elements. The proof is based on the study of solutions of the Heyde functional equation on the character group of the original group. In so doing, we use methods of abstract harmonic analysis.
