Anyone else tried using Skype on their Nexus yet?
I've had a few issues with it so far. Firstly I can only see video, my video isn't working and secondly the volume is too quiet to hear despite coming out of the loudspeaker at the back.
I'm presuming this is because the Nexus isn't officially supported by the Skype app just yet? If that is not the case, then is there any known fix/workaround?

Hey everyone, I recently installed Skype on my phone and video calls work great however I can't send any audio through. Its like the app shuts off my mic when in a video call. Mic works fine for regular calling though. Are others having this problem? And does anyone know of a possible fix?
I'm on CM7 if that matters. Thanks in advance for any and all help, this community rocks!

Im having the same issue. Did you ever find a fix for this?
Hi,
Does anyone else experience interrupts while streaming audio (Google Music, Tunein, Spotify and other online radiostreamers) over WiFi on the Galaxy Nexus when the screen locks? Even tried to enable the stream lower quality in those apps but it still gives me interrupts / stops.
Also when downloading larger games they take forever to download while the screen is off, from the moment I turn screen on again the download goes fast again.
I have no problems while streaming over edge/3G (even with screen off) and over WiFi when i prevent the screen from locking. 'Wi Fi sleep policy' is set to never. Tried several wireless routers (Belkin, Apple Time Capsule, Linksys) all gave the same problem. My Samsung Galaxy S doesn't have all those problems.
Is this a bug that can be fixed?
Hope someone can help out.
Kind Regards
tijru
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Have the same issue. A update is definitely in the works. Wifi never sleeps...never works!

I haven't had that issue, but on a slightly related topic, I would love for Google Music to support gapless playback. Maybe cache one or two of the next songs in the playlist or something. Might not be that simple, but it sucks listening to albums that have continuous music between tracks.
Hope it gets fixed because it's something really annoying. Makes my phone a bit useless for music streaming and that is something I use it for 70% of the time. Had some similar issues with my nexus s and that never got fixed .
Hope there is news about this soon because when it not gets fixed I still can send it back to the store and get a refund.
Does anyone know where to report bugs for the galaxy nexus?
Posted one allready here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1bbb6dcd335d9525&hl=en
Thanks for the replies.
Yep, mine does it too. I haven't heard if 4.0.3 addresses it.
4.04 does not fix too.

I've found an app that fix it https://market.android.com/details?id=org.wahtod.wififixer&hl=en.
Let me know if it work for you

Doesn't work for me. Streaming via CIFS on PowerAmp works fine until the screen goes off - then repeated stuttering noises and pauses. With or without WifiFixer.
My little Samsung T679 Exhibit II on Peach Sunrise v1.2a works fine as is.
same deal bros, wish i knew
Has anyone been able to find a WORKING app which records audio from a Bluetooth headset on the Galaxy Nexus?
The ones I've tired force close or can't find the audio source...

when someone calls your google voice phone number. you can pickup the phone call and press 4 to record the call; this works even if you're speaking on a bluetooth headset.
I don't use Google voice, but rather was looking for something to record memos instead of phone calls.

Which ones have you tried? There are a LOT of voice recording apps out there!

I've tried the ones which explicitly say they record Bluetooth audio, but none of them work. Regular recording apps will always pick the mic off the phone, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Thats not actually true from my experiences. By connecting a bluetooth headset it should 'hijack' the speaker and microphone and use your bluetooth one by default.

With the app you posted, using a galaxy Nexus?
I'll give it a try.
EDIT: that didn't work at all. It records only from the built in mic.

this is true of the sg2 on various roms i think its pretty damning that a smart phone cant record phone calls really makes android look like a pile o rubbish. i have tried alot to get call recording on a bluetooth headset and nothing works. once after loading about 20 apps on an old ics rr rom it started working litrally by magic so i know it is possible to work but no one seems to care or managed to do it which is deffinetly very pathetic quite fankly. concidering i can watch two channels of live tv while down loading a film using my phone as router over 3g etc all at the same time its amazing but i cant record a phone call ffs.
Its now 2015, has anyone had any luck with this or found and app in the store that actually works. Cheers

I found one!!
There's an app called Boldbeast call recorder that has worked with Bluetooth on my Note 4: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boldbeast.recorder&hl=en
The good is that it works (on the note 4), the bad is that this app is $11 (free version without auto-record is available), but it works and it saves me from having to waste more time looking for a solution. :good:
I DO NOT KNOW if this works on the Galaxy Nexus, for whoever still owns that phone.

I can confirm that Boldbeast works on my Galaxy S4 (i9500) as well. I had to do a little bit of tweaking (give the app root access, change SELinux to permissive(there's an app on XDA for that)), but I was able to get it to record both ways with a bluetooth headset (Plantronics voyager edge) when I put the Record Mode to "Alsa Mode (Root)" However the volume is a little low, and when I tried to give it a 20% boost in volume in the app settings, the recorded conversation was really really distorted. Turned it back to 0% volume increase, and it's at least not distorting the sound.
I am using a custom ROM (n4/s6 by @alemtro) and kernel (can't remember but as it turns out it's not permissive), and of course it's rooted.
ACR has a far better UI, and does auto call in the free version, but they don't want to play around with SELinux etc because that is against the Play Store terms. So if you don't need BT recording, that's a better app, but like me if you really need BT recording, Boldbeast seems to be the only option (and a good one).

I may be mistaken but I believe the issue is consistent with apps that use WiFi to make use of their service, instead of Data. The audio lags over the wifi connection. So it's not the app itself, as the issue persists across many apps ie. skype, fongo/dell voice/magic jack.

I'm not entirely sure myself but its definitely not a Skype issue, its some sort of general audio issue and using Skype just seems to be the easiest way to reproduce it. Adam77 mentioned he thinks he knows whats up with it so hopefully we will see a code patch that can be applied to all affected ROMs soon.
yes its a genral audio problem as also the video camera can't record sound as well as the sound recorder. its a general bug in the sound.

No, the problem is when mic audio is routed to userspace, playback becomes distorted. You don't need Skype to reproduce it -- start music playing, then open Sound Recorder. Start recording. Music will stop. While still recording, resume playing via the notification bar. Ugly ugly noises come out.
Hi there
When recording videos with Snapchat, the sound is way too quiet. When using other apps like voice recorder or the camera app, it works fine. I also recently replaced the battery cover
I suspect the issue is something regarding which microphone Snapchat uses. Maybe the the mic doesn't function properly without the noice cancellation mic, which Snapchat may not utilise etc.
Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how to fix it?
heres some more info on the problem: snapchat only records audio with the top mic on this phone, which is probably supposed to be used for noise cancellation. this issue is not apparent in all non-sense roms, like cm10.2 and aosp based romps; the mouthpiece mic is used to record audio so the audio works fine. but then in custom roms the camera profile is different, so it is not possible to record 10 second videos in snapchat. it stop recording at about 6 seconds. heres more info on the 2nd issue: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-2343.
Thanks

Heey .. I've the same problem with my HTC ONE X ... this is what I dislike about Android in general, each phone has its own running kinda system, yet all android apps are the same in every device despite the differences.

Unless you own a Nexus, GPe, or soon a "Silver" certified device. Something maybe to consider when purchasing my next phone
