I have been trying to use qik and can only get it to work with when I am calling an Evo device. Any one got any tips or advice?
I did get it to work between mine and my wife's Epic we were both on 4g at the time audio worked on first connect then we got disconnected second attempt we couldn't hear each other. Video was perfect pretty high quality the audio was not perfect though. I will use it but not often. I want Adobe Air video calling app now that should work better only time will tell when we get it.

A friend of mine also has the epic and we figured out that the recipient needs to press a mic button underneath the video feed to be able to speak. We got it to work while we were both on 3g.
While we're talking about Qik, do both parties need to have the app open, front and center in order to receive a call? Without even starting the app, there's a Qik service which I would imagine lets people without it open know they're being called.
Download FRING it works 100% better as long as your 3g service is running...
fring and what?
since fring disabled the skype connection, what are you logged in under to video call? ive tryed everything i could find on here to call from epic to iphone, or at least to a pc, nothing works!
qik works great on evo n 3g but dies on epic in 3g due to epics having 1./3 the up speed of evo in 3g. so if you are in 3g don't bother til the epic 3g speed bug is fixed
Fring itself. You're not using skype to do the video... you need the other person's skype account

+1 for Fring
I think QIK is great app for video sharing, but absolutely awful for video chat.
For starters, why does it distort the video to fill the screen? It makes everything look horrible. When I do get it working, it works so poorly with tons of distortion, and the audio doesn't work for crud.
Now Fring on the other hand, it's not the best quality, but it works. If you're on 3G audio drops like crazy, so it's best to do it on 4g or Wifi.
My trouble with Qik? The fact that their icon is noticably larger than all other icons. Pisses me right off.
Is anyone else having this issue? I noticed it a while ago when I connected my Evo to my car radio, the left channel from youtube played through both channels in the car. Just downloaded the new youtube app and checked it, still the same problem. If you have a second, watch this video and tell me if you get the right channel.
Tested and all works fine for me.

No issue for me with Youtube...
This is the third Evo that I have had that has this issue, and two of my friends also have the same problem with their Evos.
Is anyone else having issues with Qik videos saying they are uploaded but actually never work once they are finished uploading?
I have about a 1 in 5 success rate...
I have recently flashed my old EVO 4g over to metro for my girlfriend and I am having one problem. My GPS doesnt work properly. Always searching for signal. I have followed every instruction down to the letter and search over this forum and others.
Also, can i upgrade the radio, , and other things on the phone with out messing up the config for metropcs
And what PRL should i be on to get the most out of my phone?
Can anyone be of any assistance. I am using the metrodroid from the tutorial i found here on this forum.
Thank you in advance, and if i have missed this anywhere else on the board, i am sorry
any help on this?
Hello,
I know there must be quite a number of topics on this but honestly I didn't know where to start. I googles and searched XDA for keywords like "galaxy nexus call quality" "fix call quality without root" "root to fix call quality" with no straight answer or direction on what to do.
So let's start with the issue:
Call quality is terrible. Calls drop occasionally and I rarely have 3g or 4g while on a call making calling and surfing the web impossible. Bluetooth and headset call quality are equally low and terrible. the voice sounds garbled up and I sound like I'm underwater according to my fiancee.
What I'm searching for:
A solution. I'm quite familiar with rooting (sorta) so I have no problem doing that if I need to. So i guess my question is this - If root is the best and most reliable option, where should I go on instructions to root this phone and which rom is most like stock but is stable and doesn't have any issues like MMS problems, lag, battery drainage. I hope this was clear enough.
I would appreciate any and all help.
You all are wonderful - I've read tons of other posts and I'm always so impressed by the solutions and answers (which is why I rarely have to even post anything)
Thanks in advance )

I don't know for sure but look around here:

And maybe you can do some build.prop tweaks. But I am also don't sure if that will help, luckily there is google

Try what mrgnex is suggesting, no need to be rooting just yet. Read efrants 101 and return to stock, both stickied on General. By the way, if you have been lurking here for a while, you should know by now that you need to post in the right section: this belongs in Q&A.

You should never have 3g data while on a call (Verizon), only when you are on LTE or WiFi; if you are on 3G and on a phone call, you will NOT have internet. No way around that, it is a limitation of the CDMA network.
First thing I would recommend is making sure your radios are up to date.
I almost never have dropped calls (on VZW). I'm in a very well covered LTE area so no issues with data here. I am on CM10.1 stable and find it to be a very nice ROM, I do use bluetooth allot and it always functions well for me. I'm not saying CM is right for you, but it works well for me.
