Decent video chat app?

I'm curious if there's a decent video chat app for Android that supports the Galaxy S besides Fring?
Fring is garbage, and aside from the horrific layout and appearance shrinks the incoming/outgoing video feeds to cram as much of their buttons and borders in as possible.
The built in function isn't an option because if I want to video chat with someone in another country here in Europe, it still routes through the cell network, incurring international calling rates, which is bull****.
So any FaceTime like apps yet that function off email or some other ID?

I'm also looking for such an app, ideally supporting video calls to googletalk.
iMovicha works quite ok for me but unfortunately only uses the main cam on the back. I have not found a way to make it use the front cam.
Siproid is supposed to support video calls too but so far I have not managed to make video work.
Did anyone have success with this?

fRing is currently the best working on for SGS i9000
the skype one only does voiceIP

yes you right, but was very beautiful if fring prepare some fring-pc client because not all make videocal by phone, many just have pc for this
For moment I found only imovicha, but quality is not really good.. I hope that they prepare some upgrade for improve the video quality
ps. sorry for my bad english

The Qik app might do it.

qik is for EVO only (for front facing camera and 2 way video call)
Fring is the only option.
you need to be on firmware JM5 or JM6

Fring works on FW - JPC as well even over 3g
works well

Well that's disappointing. Fring is garbage. The actual video pane I want to see when video chatting is shrunken and bordered with their vomit colored background and buttons.
There should be absolutely nothing on the screen during that video call other than the incoming video, a small outgoing mirror, and small controls.
I hate Apple, but Facetime is where it's at. Fring is an abomination.

don't use it then, find alternative,

then you can program an App to do just as you wish, then you can sell it and make millions!

Hence the thread and why I made it clear I was looking for something other than Fring rather than engaging in a Fring circlejerk. Apparently there are no decent video chat apps, so the wait continues. Was simply curious if there were any good alternatives yet. Fring being the least crappy =/= good.

I blame verizon for hogging skype for themselves.

have you asked your carried how much the rates are for just the usual video call over 3g? you know, the one where you don't need to open an app, just open the contact and click the Video Call button?
coz it's usually charged the same amount as a regular voice call...

WP7 Annoying Call Menu

Hi guys
Who else thinks that planning of making calls in WP7,
is very annoying to click a button (marked in red picture) to open a menu specially Speaker
What do you think?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

For over 3 months this never annoyed me honestly.

Hasn't annoyed me yet either but i just got my phone this week. I was thinking of a better way they could have done it but all of my ideas have pluses and minus just the same so guess we got what we got.

No issues here... has worked fine for those time when I need to speaker phone it or use the keypad.

not annoying. it's a minimal design, so why have those options always display if you don't always need them?

Not happening here

I don't use speaker as much so it's no biggie, nor do I often use the keypad during a call, though I do sometimes. But overall it isn't THAT annoying, just a little.

I use the speaker about 50% if the time and I whole heartedly 100% agree with the OP. Its a pain to have to hit that little button every time
it doesn't ruin the whole experience for me, but it is pretty annoying.

<3 hTc
If I want something from the menu, it's not too much hassle to have to click, and what's even better is that thanks to hTc's Attentive Phone app if i want the speakerphone, i just put the phone face down on a surface and the speaker automatically activates. Simples.

what the hell do the poll options mean lol

Agree. I think that's actually a pretty good design, however I find it clunky. The buttons should be at the bottom, and I do think some obvious functionality like speaker phone should not require you to click twice. That's just my opinion.
TBQH, I much prefer the Galaxy S (Vibrant) dialer interface. It makes more sense.
But there isn't much wrong with this...
There is a point where you can take minimalist so far that it actually starts to impede on usability. This is one of those cases, IMO.

No problems for me either. I actually dig it because it allows you to tap the screen and perform tasks in the background. Alternatively, it allows you to look at whatever screen you were looking at before the call was made or received. e.g. you went into a specific profile under People, you're still able to see their contact info such as email if you were to email something to that person.
Even if those soft keys were available immediately when the call became active you'd still have to do some kind of multi-step process to accomplish some other task you wanted to do on your phone.
Frankly, I'd rather have the information I was looking at prior to when the call came or when I initiated the call, still immediately available to me. All in all seems pretty efficient to me for viewing information.

The dialer app multi tasks. There no excuse for hiding 4 options under a button - none whatsoever. You can simply home out of it and look at the entire page, or even use your data connection unless you're unfortunate and have a CDMA phone...

So you'd rather have the dial pad hidden instead? Or is everything going to be placed out in the forefront? There's only so much screen space, though I guess it could work. I'm looking at the Galaxy S and it looks ugly as ****. Screw that mess, I'd rather have the stuff I was looking at available for viewing in the background then a damn num pad.

It's not shown by default for the same reason battery and signal aren't shown on the start screen. Much cleaner look without the buttons showing. No need to always have them showing.

Q

Everyone in the S3 section is awesome and helpful, I found that out last night!
I have another question, hopefully it is an easy one. I just don't know exactly how to go about doing this.
Basically I use a program on the S3, that records everything except call recording. The Rom that is on the phone has a built in call recorder. When the program logs a call for XX minutes or however long whenever I try and listen its all just static. I assume I just need to figure out what I need to delete in the Rom for my program to be able to use it.
I use "Mspy". It has a dashboard via web that records everything on the target phone, except when the Rom interferes with it.
Phone is rooted with stock rom 4.1.2, twrp.
Any help is much appreciated. I'll give a thanks.

The S3 has that problem call recording apps don't work. There is one app but it costs money, there was also a modded hack which allowed for call recording to work. There is information on this in the OP of The People's ROM and there's a thread here somewhere on the modded hack. I am at work so I can't really search to link you right now. Hopefully someone else can help you a little further.

Here's the link to the call recording mod. It works great except for having to manually press the record button on the phone pad to record outgoing calls. Incoming calls can be set to record automatically in the phone app settings.

Well dang that sucks! I'm paying $50/Mo for Myspy. It picks up installed apps, texts, calls, locations, FB, record surroundings whenever I set a command to do so. My program I use does automatically record the calls even though its just static, when I listen to them you can actually hear the phones ringer and the surroundings like a Tv or the radio until they hit answer then it goes all static. I don't care if I have to pay money to record calls, even if there was a app that ran in the background that would put the records in a folder via the internal memory then I could export to my SD card. It's just crazy!

I appreciate the link but I don't think it's going to do me any good with my problem I'm having. I guess I'm just screwed! That is the only thing that I cannot get. Oh and I wish there way a way to tell what websites have been gone too from incognito, or a keylogger (which is against XDA rules) I know.

Have you solved this issue? I was looking into Mspy for an international S3, when you thread came up and made me think twice...

I have the same situation, paying for mspy app (mspy.com) works great in one phone, but in the Galaxy S3 - works everything (Keylogger, record sourroundings, msgs, call logs) -
But when a call goes in or out (I can hear the sourrroundings) but when the call is answered I can only hear a loud and nasty static..
HOW CAN WE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE??

Thank you for bringing this back to my attention. I have since then moved her phone from the S3 to the Note 2 and it is still an issue. Assuming it would be the same problem on my Note 3. Obviously it is "Mspy" the program itself. I mean, don't get me wrong the program is amazing and does what it says it is supposed to do un other than the fact it is missing one huge implementation which was one of the major factors I purchased this program.

"Mspy" is NOT in the Playstore. Very expensive program you get from the website. Have tried getting in contact with them, I always get a, "we're currently trying to solve this issue" key word "trying". After this length of time, wouldn't they have fixed it by now if they cared?
So, basically unless someone can find a fix, then we're screwed! Thanks for the input guys, I've laid Mspy to rest.

Note 4 is stuttering and laggy

Got my note 4 and it seems to be stuttery and laggy mostly when scrolling through menus and Internet pages and while typing it is very stuttery . Anyone getting the same thing ?

Nope. But the first thing I did was go through and disable/uninstall every bit of bloatware that was possible. Phone is smooth as butter...

nah mine is nice and smooth. only typing lag I get is with swiftkey on hangouts bc hangouts is a horribly coded lagfest.

I had the very same issue. I discovered my fingerprint scanner didn't work and no one could hear me during phone calls. I also had what i thought was high battery usage (probably a bad fingerprint module). I exchanged mine for a new one, and that one works perfectly. Hope this helps.

I had that problem when I went to art runtime but switched back to dalvik and perfectly fine. Even on art my phone would turn on the screen for odd reasons and find myself calling someone but not even an issue on dalvik.

yea sorry to tell you but you def got a defective device... this phone is the smoothest and fastest device I have ever experienced... go get a new one before it is too late!

Everything has been pretty smooth for me. Only thing is the delay when using the recent apps button.

Wipe first then post..
Wipe first and then post. Being a new phone I really didn't think a wipe would help. After resetting it appears to work correctly the typing lag is gone and scrolling seems to transition fluidly. I'll play the rest of the day and see if it reverts or stays like this.
So to the developers. . What on a fresh , new phone would cause it to act laggy ? And how would a data reset correct it? We are not flashing roms, and the os is untouched during a factory reset.. it's not like I Odined the system over to replace a corrupt system file. Any thoughts ?

Mine works fine. Disabled a bunch of apps and slapped apex launcher on it. So far I'm happy just wishing for root still.

Is it laggy with battery saving mode on or even with normal mode?? I found my laggy and froze with battery saving mode on. I have tried to factory reset and do a rom recovery, disabled all the bloat but no help. so I request for a new one. If suggest if anything is not normal, just get a new one while you're under 14 days warranty period.

Yeah I just might.

Yep, mine has froze and reboot issue, I called VZ and they you should get it in 2 days. They will put the charge on your account (no need for credit card), once received the new device, just ship back the old one and they will credit back 312$ to your account. You must call VZ technical support, not customer service. Tech support has the power to do anything with your phone. Good luck!

The only time I've come across stuttering/lag is playing Sky Force 2014. This game will just not play smoothly on the Note 4. It's very fluid on the S5 however. Maybe it's the upgrade in resolution. I don't know.

Getting ridiculous lag in Hangouts and there is a bit of delay on the recent apps.
I chalk it up to Hangouts being crappy and Samsung being lazy with the recent apps impelentation.. everything else is butter.

Well here is the weird part about mine, it was lag free until i tried flashing a rom. N910w8 model. Then went to tri finger scanner and the app dont launch i get an error, just my luck

Xperia XA1 videos in apps (Facebook/YouTube) sharp and pixely

I've just got my xperia yesterday and have now noticed in Facebook when I'm scrolling down my feed when I see a video it's very sharp and pixely. It's driving me mental.. In the YouTube app all the videos I watch are very sharp/pixelated, lower the quality the worse it gets but in full HD 720p 1080p it still looks bad but it's not pixely it's just very sharp.. Dont know how to post pics to show you. I've went through the phones screen setting and tried everything but it's still pixely and sharp it's driving me insane.. Anyone else have the same problem?

It it just me having this problem? Is anyone else having this problem?

I know what you mean. It's a big screen, but I think the PPI is not that high. I also took out an Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom with the Xperia so I could compare both, and the Asus' screen is miles ahead in video and graphics quality. That being said, the Xperia's shine is in it's .5 inch larger screen.

I think you overreacting. On smaller TV everything looks better too. On YouTube HQ videos looks normally. I don't speak about 360p, cause it looks horrible even on my XZ.

I'm not. I was just so excited for the phone to come out to only find that what ever format of video being played looks horrid. I've tried every setting but still any video I watch looks like something from 2004. I've replaced this phone 3 times now and same issue.

This is how it looks without image enhancement and smallest screen size,

and this is in super-vivid mode and (also) smallest screen size

so maybe try some settings one more time (take three deep breath). I fully understand your excitement

I feel like an idiot haha. I turned off image inchancement and tried watching videos and they look way better. Tried super vivid and they looked horrid. Turned off image inchancement and everything looks beautiful thanks ..

Sometimes the simplest solutions lead to the best results I'm glad i can help.

The issue we're experiencing on this phone with video playback is flash in browser.
Tried with Chrome, Opera, lightning browser, same issue. In-app video playback is decent. Maybe not as good as other Android phones, but still good enough to enjoy.
Flash just doesn't deliver a good experience on this phone. The XA1 Ultra is otherwise nice and good value, just too bad it doesn't deliver good video playback in flash. Probably not a big deal, as flash will hopefully soon be a thing of the past. Haven't tested HTML5 in browser yet.
I see this phone can be rooted, so a custom ROM would probably fix this, but no idea what the camera compatibility would be with custom ROM's on this handset.
On a side note, didn't like the UI of the stock Album app, so installed ported Moto G4 gallery via APK.

Same here. Any fix? Ridicolous happening in Facebook Instagram ecc

It's an easy fix guys. Just turn off image enchancement in display settings

It's off for me. No vivid no enhancement
