Tryed to install the app from this thred http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 .
The app seems working and alow me to do video call. The only problem is that from the phone I can see who is on the other side while not possible the other way round. Seems that the rear camera is disabled. Anyone else having this issue? olved Somehow?
PS. I know it's weird to use the rear camera, so please is useless to remember this.
Problem fixed. Needed to install googleservicesframwork.apk . Now everything is working better than expected.
Hey man, did you use the googleservicesframwork.apk from the very same thread?
I updated it using this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233682 and it sort of works fine, only thing is that my camera is still not transmitting to the other side, they see black screen. I see them fantastic, sound is great as well.
Can you point out what version of files you installed?
Thanks in advance
Update: It works when my girl video calls me from xperia mini, by "it works" I mean it works with known limitations, and that is 10s lag on my video, I see her real time. It didn't show video on pc, but it is not an issue for me, audio works great though, and that is what I need.
Desire Z video calls...SOLVED? (".)
I wonder is there any apps out there that are able to switch the hardware internally, and point it to external webcam.
What I'm trying to get at is using remote desktop on laptop at same time as phone being used as the webcam? Would this not solve the issue at hand.
So I would suggest the following steps...
Install remote web desktop app on dz > Launch browser on laptop/pc/Spare desire Z (hey they're discont'd after all!) > point phone and go !!
Let me know if this is solved for you (".) Smiley face (".)

Hi all, appreciate if anyone could help me on my issue. When I make video call to my friend, I can see his cam but he can't see mine. It seems like the front cam is not turned on as I myself also can't see my cam displayed on screen. I am not sure this is the hardware (front cam) issue or firmware. I am using HTC Hermes WM6.
Or is there any way for me to check the functionallity of the cam?
hello i have tha same problen since last days
so u mean previously ur cam is functioning? Any idea what is happening? Any expert or user who faces this before and know how to fix? Or at least anyone know how to test the functionality of the video cam (hardware).
your solution is:
the FLEX cable on the front cam is disconected, call a local lab or do it yourself.
I have uploaded a solution to the main hermes forum in the past 4 months.
i had this problem before. it's one of the buttons on the screen during a video call which you need to enable your own camera for the video call.
The connection of the camera to the main board is known to come loose from dropping the phone, etc. If your phone has taken a few tumbles it's highly likely this could be the case, if you've tried everything software side and you feel skilled enough, open it up (void your warranty) and plug it back in (it's quite straight forward, you just need to be very attentive and careful). Otherwise, send it some where to get fixed.
Ive looked all over the web and literally did not sleep last night trying to figure this out, not a wink. I got this phone as new as used gets from ebay. It was unlocked, i relocked it and have the stock rom back on it. No matter what Ive tried I cant get audio with the youtube app in HQ/full screen mode, but if i select the "fast download" quality i have audio and of course less then ideal video. Ive tried hard resetting, someone suggested pulling the battery out to reset the speaker (speaker works fine with everything else), and someone suggested a hard reset, and then changing all internet connections to media net. this supposedly worked for them, but not me. Anyone have any ideas? Either i hear nothing out of the speaker in full screen or i hear static. Codec issue? Driver issue?.. Theres other youtube apps around that are from roms or made by google.. they work fine but the video quality just isnt there for me like it is on the stock youtube app, im a perfectionist, this is annoying especially since youtube worked on my last tilt 2. Is anyone else having this problem? I literally have not slept because its driving me nuts. Im usually able to fix this stuff, and my last tilt 2 that i broke had youtube working fine. Ideas????? Thank you so much for helping me keep my sanity and not be an insomniac perfectionist. I really appreciate it.
So YouTube works great, just not with the quality you expect?
lol, it's YouTube dude. Don't expect high quality.
You don't mention anything about wifi or 3g tho. Have you tried on wifi?
Help me please. This shouldnt be happening.
No it doesnt work great at all. In High quality download mode the picture is absolutely great but no audio at all. I didnt have this problem with my last tilt 2.. no audio in full screen/hd download mode. The video quality is amazing but i have no freakin audio unless i select it to be downloaded as a crappier quality "fast download" option. So "fast download" works (audio and video) but sucks by nature, and HQ/full screen has amazing video but no audio at all. Havent tried wifi, will do that now. If i dont repost an update by 6:45 P.M. eastern time that didnt work.
ok... i put wifi on, and now when i try to play a video it just says "connecting" and sits there... odd.??
helllllppppp
ok, got it to connect with wifi. still no sound in high quality/full screen mode.

Then there's something wrong with your phone. Why did you relock and flash stock?
ok... the genius somehow got it working! Just a matter of fooling around with settings that you wouldnt think of... thats why its called a bug. I have andvanced config.... so i turned off "fixed landscape mode" and for the HTC audio booster settings i made sure they were all set to default... now its beautiful as it gets. crazy. once again, thats why they call it a bug. I need to get hired as an IT guy dammit.
Oh, and since re-locking the phone it has not froze on bootup at the orange windows mobile startup graphic. Not even once. It was doing it ridiculously frequently before.
Ha. Glad you got it fixed.
Silly WinMo.
thanks, and yeah it sure is.
HTC Touch Pro 2 CAB
Hello,
Does anyone have a working HTC Youtube app (perhaps cab) for the HTC Touch Pro 2? I had a problem with my original app not playing sound when viewing HD/HQ videos; however it played sound when watching in Fast Download, but the video quality was horrible. I downloaded the latest Google app which seems to play sound OK, but I not like the design of the app as the video playback did not fill the screen. Unfortunately, when I downloaded Google it overwrote the original HTC app and I cannot get it back without doing a hard reset, which I prefer not to do. I found HTC Youtube version 2.6 (Build 1922.4122) while surfing this board, but it does not play sound too. I think me original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maybe try this version?

RE: HTC Touch Pro 2 YouTube CAB
Thanks mr.horndoctor,
Unfortunately, this is HTC YouTube CAB - LEO YouTube_2_6_19224122.cab, which is the CAB that I am currently using and does not play sound in most HD/HQ modes. I am hoping to find my original version was 2.6 (Build 2011.1727), or greater that will work on the Touch Pro 2. What's interesting is I have seen this problem reported for quite some time, but I have not seen a final closure or resolution to the problem.
Thanks again for your effort.
hardcoresmylife, Could you tell me more details about this? I am also suffering from this issue.
Hi all,
I'd like to know if somebody could help us with this problem in hangouts app. At chat context, evething works ok, but, when I start a video call, app makes a FC and gives the option of send notification, as usual.
When I tried to delete cache on hangsout app, the video call works until I make any slight change, for instance put the phone on horizontal way or change to rear camera, even when I hang off. And starts working bad.
I tried to delete the app and reinstall it, even I installed 4.3 from stock with adb tool, with to any good relults from I was using 4.2.2
Please any ace on android who could ask me for any test to reach any solution.
Thanks all
Hello,
Yesterday I purchased the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for Virgin Mobile (SP-D710VMUB). I am incredibly happy with the phone so far, however when I downloaded Instagram, I discovered that recording video caused the phone to freeze, and eventually restart on its own.
After searching for the problem, I saw that some LG users had a problem where only the front facing camera would record. I thought I'd give it a shot, and the front facing camera works perfectly. No freezing or crashes. I also so the post about the Epic 4G Touch where users had to disable 'Use Instagram's Advanced Camera'. After disabling the option, I am unable to select video, and am only able to take photos.
Nothing else seems to cause freezing or crashing in Instagram, only taking video with my rear camera.
I am running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I am not rooted, and the phone is completely stock as of right now.
If anyone has any information, or any idea as to what may be causing this problem; any advice would be much appreciated.
@Auze
Here is a link to an Instagram apk. I would try it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332178
Just delete the instagram app you have installed...download the instagram apk. from the link and install with a file manager..( es xplorer/astro )..to just list a couple...any file manager/browser will work. No need to be rooted..so don't worry about that.
That being said..I do not use Instagram..So this is just a guess on my part...Read through the whole thread..( I just skimmed )..Could be other users having this issue as well and might have a fix..But from what I saw..it looked to be working.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the apk you linked (v4.1.0). Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. However, I did discover that it isn't freezing and crashing immediately when pressing the record button anymore, but instead when I finish recording a video.
If you are using the 4G Epic Touch, could you please install Instagram and attempt to record video to see if you have the same problem? I'm not sure as to whether this might be a problem with my phone or with the Instagram app.
Thanks again for your reply.
EDIT: I noticed that the phone's buttons remained responsive for a short time after Instagram froze. I was able to hit the home button after it locked up following the recording of a video. After making it to the home screen, I was able to go back into Instagram only to find a still frame of the video I just took, and black bars in place of the Instagram UI. Android soon reported that Instagram wasn't responding and allowed me to force close it via the prompt.
I don't know if this information is relevant or helpful to anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
@Auze
ill try it later..as of now im downloading 4.3 gapps for a new rom on my gtab 10.1...
But to me it sounds like an app problem...
Thanks, if you don't get around to it, it's no big deal. I appreciate your help. I agree that it sounds like an app problem, although I am curious if it happens to all 4G Epic Touches.
For anyone that has this problem, I worked around it by filming a video with the stock Camera app, and then going into Instagram and uploading that video from the Gallery. It will go right into the Instagram video editor, and you can proceed as normal.
I am having an issue with videos recorded on my LGG4. During playback on the phone or uploaded to Facebook, there is a constant clicking noise that can be heard over any recorded sound on every video. I have tested several different recordings and all are the same. Here is a short sample that you can listen too...

Bad phone or is there a easy fix?
Hi. I have the same playback issue on my G4. I tried recording with Google Camera and I had no problem, no weird sounds or whatever. I guess this happens only when using the stock camera app. Mine is updated to MM v20a.
Hi, same problem here. That's the second exchange with amazon, the first one had display issues (random white noise on the right half of the display) this one has the clicking noise during video recording on the left channel. Seems like it's related with the wifi module: disabling it the clickning noise disappears, but the audio recording is still bad compared to the previous g4 i returned to amazon.

I have the same issue. Strange that everything is fine when using different app. Looks like firmware problem ? Did you sort it out ? I have just updated my phone to Android 6.0 v20c .
guys, can you try turn off wifi then record video , do you still have clicking sound ?
if u use a case, try record without the case.
Hi. I have switched my wifi off and I did not notice any changes. Still I can hear clicking noise. I do not use any cases. Strange that everything is fine when I using google camera open app... I found out that lots of people noticed the same issue. It cannot be hardware problem...
I have the same problem, but ONLY and ONLY if wifi is on, i get clicking sound in stock camera WITH wifi on, in other apps i dont have it, but when i turn it OFF , clicking sound is gone... even when i record video and during recording i turn of wifi, sound instantly dissapears, for me it's the wifi problem, i can upload video if you dont belive me
I have the same clicking noise with or without wifi on. I did not notice any issues when using open google camera app. Looks like it is stock camera app fault ?

clicking sound comes near earpiece.what default camera does is that it records audio from secondary mic which is near earpiece.whereas 3rd party camera womt use secondary mic.that too clicking sound will come more when wifi/bluetooth is ON.
Same here, and clicking goes away with WiFi off.
Wanted to ask, did anybody return and got a replacement device based on this? Or even had it fixed by service?
I mean, are there devices that don't have this problem? Cause if there are, then it's a valid warranty/service request.
I have got my mother board replaced.

Was that the only problem it had? And is the problem gone now?
We purchased one of these in December and there was no issue with the phone. We had to return the phone for another reason and when we got it back it was updated to the latest version of Android Marshmellow (It was on Lollipop when it left) and the clicking was there. We also noticed a minor reduction in photo quality, not something I can put a finger on it, but when we first got it the photos were awesome, now they are not so clear, colourful, sharp.
Edit:
We sent it back for repair again due to the clicking and when we got it back (last night) nothing changed, it still makes the same noise.
I can stop the clicking but I have to turn off Wifi, Data and bluetooth and then it seems to go away.
As I'm new to Android I'm hesitant to see if I can take it back to Lollipop and see if it stops the problem.
What version of software are you on?
Does turning off Wifi, Data, Bluetooth help? Or does it just reduce the sound?
Do the pictures seem less then what a camera with these specs should have?
Marshmallow v20d. Yes turning off things makes the clicking go totally away. Can't comment on picture quality change, as I updated to marshmallow as soon as I got it.
Had mine sent two times in less than a month, on its way to the third this week.
First time was sent with this audio problem and battery swelling. They replaced the battery and the charging connectors, but said they could not reproduce the earpiece clicking noise during their tests, despite the fact that I had included in the phone a video example showing the problem, clear instructions on how to replicate the problem and the shop lady confirming - in writing - that she had tested and confirmed that there was a clicking noise problem. Problem was, when I received the phone from the first repair I was unable to test whether the audio problem was gone or not because they changed the last account associated to the phone, completely blocking me from accessing it and verify if the audio problem as still present.
Sent back a second time on the same day, with even more clear details on how to reproduce the audio problem - since they failed to reproduce the first time, I assumed it was still there - returned after a simple software upgrade and I was able to finally enter the phone. Came home, tested with WiFi (store's wifi was down) and the audio problem was still there, completely unchanged.
Tested without SIM (in case LTE/GSM etc. could be causing interference with WiFi), tested without SDCARD (at this point I was just trying to see what they did to NOT replicate the problem) and tested with 5GHz wifi, in case the problem was only with 2.4GHz bands. No change, the audio problem was always there.
After reading this thread, and other threads in different forums, I am certain that this is a hardware problem and I will demand that the store tech writes in the warranty sheet that he confirmed the problem, along with a very detailed step-by-step instruction guide to replicate the problem, video example included inside the phone and a link to video example hosted only for them to hear clearly what the problem is, just in case they fail to understand the obvious (https://youtu.be/oZOb8tIl5lw). Finally, I'm going to contact LG directly to report this situation and to take action if the incompetent brand techs fail to replicate and fix the problem yet again.
The only good part about all this is that they have been really fast, no more than week and a half (weekends included) for both "repairs".
NFC was the issue on my android Nokia 3
I have a brand new Nokia 3 running android 7.1.1
It also has the problem of audio clicks on video recordings. THE PROBLEM IS NFC. When NFC is disabled the clicks go away. Not impressed with a 2017 smartphone model having thus issue. Though Nokia probably have the Microsoft bug curse
I have the same problem with my 2016 LG G4. I sent my phone to LG Service and they replaced my speaker obviously not resolving the problem... now I'm sending it back again.
