Skype and Samsung Galaxy S2

I just finished a video call from Colorado to Belarus, talking with a friend there. It worked great, a little lag once in awhile, but I think that was on her end, they have poor internet service, my Tmobile has faster download speeds. I thought if any one was looking for a working video call from your phone to someone that does not have a awesome phone like us, this works, Yahoo sucks, because front camera does not work with it.

Wow, that's awesome! Glad to hear it!
Samsung hercules! !

How exactly do you do video in skype, I have yet to see an option for it, on either the SGS2 or my Tablet that is supposedly supported.

You need to goto settings in Skype and activate video calling. It will say you device is not optimized yet for Skype, but for me it works fine.

I'll install it again, but I didn't see anything in settings last time.

Sweet, I saw it this time, but I only have one friend on and he's at work. :sadface:

I did an hour long Skype video chat with a friend in Mongolia yesterday with my sgs2. It was over wifi and worked very well. The call dropped once but I think it was her crappy mongolian internet at fault.
Since i didnt already own a webcam I can add one more thing to the list of excuses for the wife of why it was OK to spend almost $300 on this beast of a phone

No go for video so far. It's enabled in settings , tried with both 4G and WiFi, nothing. Voice call forks fine. Any suggestions?

Can you describe the problem more clearly? Was the video icon not there? Did the video calls fail to connect? Did the video only work on one side?
Did you try rebooting or restarting Skype?

The video icon was there. If I choose video call option, it connects bu voice call only, the video won't even start.
Same if someone tries to call me.

I ran into that problem, but a restart of Skype or a reboot of the phone fixed it.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I do not have "chat heads" option under notifications where sound, vibe rate, etc. So there for I can't enable it because it is not there to enable.

You need to update the messenger app in order for it to work.

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options

Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o
Long press options with modded apps

This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.

Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me

If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

It is a Wifi Calling bug in the Note 3. There's a workaround that I'm using and works well. Download Prefixer from the market and create a rule for ";63" and it will delete the ";63", this will allow to get the contact info from the Address Book as its supposed.

Exactly how am I suppose to do that once I have the app?

This screenshot can help. In the main screen touch upper left corner and then Add Rule -> Manual -> Incoming. Then follow the screenshot.

Thank you for this tip. The prefixer method worked great thanks

Messaging Preview

Is there any way with the Note 4 to turn on messaging preview? Right now it is coming up when I get a text message, but it just says New Message. Before with the Note 2, it would actually preview the message. Any help?

I figured it out. You can delete this please.

How'd you do it? I been trying to find it then gave up lol

In Messages go to Settings -> Notifications -> Then check Lockscreen under Preview Message

Oh wow thanks!don't know how I missed that... could've sworn I checked there... maybe I just thought it was a yes or no button and skipped it

Wow thanks!

Glad you got it figured out. If you want try downloading Textra. I'm sure once you use it you will never go back. It's pretty awesome and has a couple customizing options. I just loathe the stock messaging app and figured I'd share with you.

Well like the messages... my calls are also showing just "missed call" without contact info on the lock screen.. tried searching in settings but no luck.. its probably something really obvious I skipped or just looking in the wrong section lol

Settings》Applications》Messages》Notification (on) in there you can ad preview or not.

Thanks but that one was answered a few posts ago but any idea how to make the call notification show up in lock screen? Like show who called? Mine just says "1 missed call"

is it normal to have ads on voicemail apps?

i have samsung galaxy note 4 and the voicemail app is full of random trash ads.
i was expecting this to be samsung/android officially supported apps with no ads but this looks like some trash bloatware

Yes it is. Pretty stupid. You can try and disable them in the preferences in the voicemail app settings.

If you go to your sprint profile and opt out of the ads, they will never show up again.

You can login to the Sprint site and kind of change it. Didn't exactly say it'll turn them off. Going into the voicemail app settings worked for me.

Disabling ads means you can't have features like forward to email. That sucks.

True, but I personally don't need the fowarding. But I'd rather pay for the premium than get the ads anyway
