Apologies if this is an obvious question but could someone check on a site such as twitch.tv / justin.tv and tell me if this phone can run the streams ok on at least 480p. My current phone lags on lowest settings! So it would be nice to know if this phone handles streams ok. If it can I will definitely pick up the phone! Thank you

Yes it does...My internet is slow so even that makes a difference but I have tried streaming at other places where speed is 100 MBps and it works without a hitch!

Did Hulu change their mind or is skyfire somehow working around Hulu's block on their servers?
I dunno, hopefully it's the former.
EDIT: Unfortunately, as of now it appears that the audio goes out of sync after a short amount of time.

I used to use fring with skype but now that skype banned them from using it i dont have any other method of chatting with my family when i am away. Anyone have a solution to this?
No ways as of yet, unless Fring or Qik get desktop apps or Skype gets a native Android app.
you can do this with sipdroid...much better quality than fring...although, you need a gv number or sipgate number to pair with sipdroid (PLUS -there is a small monthly fee to add videocalling to pc via a pbxes account) ...just google sipdroid for videocalling and you can watch a video of how it is done on sipdroids homepage. this can be done over 3g,4g or wifi ...seems to be much better quality than video streaming of justintv, qik or than fring was
Yes,
Imovicha (Movicha) works very well from EVO to PC or EVO to another phone. I use this to communicate with a number of our PCs.
better quality?

I just tried out imovicha for the first time...is there any way to get the quality of the video seen on the computer to be good? mine is really blocky and wont show on cpu bigger than about 3 inches by 3 inches??!!! Video skype through fring (when it was available) was much better quality.
I found a Skype beta but have not yet tried it out. I will report back.

http://www.movicha.com/android.html <<< Forget Fring-FaceTime or even Qik.. Movicha has it all, I can video call (cont) http://tl.gd/2v7kkk I just twitted it to the WORLD!.. lol..
I think there was a skype app in one of the magnus cyan upgrades in the theme section. I tried one once and it wasn't for me so I flashed over it. I thought awhile ago that someone ripped out skype and another app or two out of a verizon droid. I don't remember if it worked but I remember that you had to have the o they apps with it or it wouldn't work.
When i tried the skype beta app, it didn't have video chat...
Has anyone tried Movicha for the Evo yet? It's got pretty bad reviews so far.

I don't know. Just checked out their site. It says there is a subscription fee, but makes no mention of how much it is! Guess you have to install the pp to find out.
Also, their FAQ says it does not support video from the phone on Android - you can see somebody on their PC, but they can't see you!!
If this is true what good is it???
"I tried to place a video call to a friend who was using an Android. How come he can see me, but I cannot see him?
Right now Android supports receive only video."
I have downloaded Movicha but haven't actually tried it yet. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a version specifically for the EVO. You have to search the market for "MovichaForEVO".
EDIT: Just tried it between my PC and phone... video from phone to PC kinda sucks on 3G but otherwise it does work (will try it over 4G when I'm at work Monday to see if video quality is any better)
It seems to make calls ok, video quality on the PC from my Evo was HORRIBLE though, the GUI is kinda meh, dont have sound or cam on pc (sitting at Sprint..cant really expect too much lol) to test that. All in all, its a step in the right direction, but certainly fails as a whole package. Ugly as hell basically....just wish I had gotten my evo before Fring issues to test skype with my gf on her laptop.
So, did you have to pay? If so, how much???
no, never once asked for anything but a name and an email. I sure as hell wouldnt be paying for something like this though

It wasn't any better, fring is crap as well
To start with im running a rooted evo (duh) and fresh evo 3.0.0.1
it was doing this prior to root..
It seems like no matter if i'm on wifi.. 4g.. or 3g.. the video constantly whether it be youtube or another video thats using the streaming media player.. it more than half the time will either give me a "sorry this video could not be played" error.. or the "sorry there was a problem playing this video"..
I've searched as much as i could bring myself to without going insane. So far i've read that stagefright settings could cause this. The cache not being cleared.. and that the youtube app just plain sucks..
So, what im trying to gather is first and foremost.. is this a known issue.. or is my phone messed?
thing i dont get if this is a known issue.. is this.. GOOGLE BUILT ANDROID.. and google flipping OWNS YOUTUBE.. why would is be an issue? lol
Any help would be great.. and if this is a known issue.. a sticky might be nice so others like myself dont go insane wondering why the iphone plays video flawlessly on youtube.. while the evo's youtube player simply sucks (so far from my experience.. )
please no flaming.. haha
79 views so far.. could someone at least post whether they're having the same issue or not? or someone they know? i assume i'm not the only one out there if theres that many people lookin at it in less than a day..
update though, i was running fresh evo 3.3.0.1... i am unrooting my phone now just to make sure its not something wonky with root.. i called sprint and talked to a rep, they said to just bring it in to see a tech.. honestly, side note.. the store where i got my phone from.. not the best customer service.. at all.. very short on the phone with every question.. etc.. blah. anyways.. ill keep updating as this moves forward.. hopefully this thread will help someone get some answers if i dont haha
Thanks..
The youtube app is crap. It has nothing to do with rooting. Until they offer an update you should use a browser to open the youtube videos. This will not trigger "a problem playing video" dialog crap.
I can't use the app for that same reason. Happens with certain videos, I think the ones that are "not optimized for mobile" or some such. I can watch them from my browser without issue.
I've been having the same issue for weeks now. I also have exclusively switched to watching videos in the browser. Never have a problem there. The YouTube app DEFINITELY needs an update. Especially with rewinding and fast forwarding videos.
ahhh good so its not just me. By using the browser do you mean loading it in desktop view? and playing via flash? im unrooted now and using dolphin HD.. much better browser imo.. however using the m.youtube.com site still crashes videos.. seems like any video i stream crashed out or can't play.. i'll try the desktop mode and see if i can get them to play in flash instead of the streaming media player..
Thanks
it must be the crappy roms you guys are using or you have poor coverage/reception/bandwidth.
The Youtube app works great for me. It plays everything in HD just fine. I used to have problems with it not playing videos on some older roms, but anything from the past couple months should be just fine.
I would die if I had to resort to using the browser to access Youtube.

The mobile youtube page isn't actually too bad - it's tons better then the regular youtube page, and is almost as usable as the app. But if you have stagefright set to false to fix pandora, then the mobile page won't work and you'll get that "could not be played" error.

I'm using the stock ROM, and have this problem.
Does anyone know why it's so slow to upload a 20mb < 1 minute video to youtube? it's been going for 10 minutes and only 60%... I'm on wifi and I have almost 512kbps upload on my connection!
512Kilobits or KiloBytes?

512Kbps - lowercase = bits... I don't have a 4Mbps upload speed
But this was my first time uploading anything to youtube... I tried again putting it on the computer first, and it took just as long! so I guess it's just youtube is stupidly slow! - glad it's not a problem with the phone

Damn, so many people on this forum are trolls...
With my connection speed a 20mb file uploads anywhere else in about 5 minutes... but to youtube, it took almost 20 mins.
The root of the problem is youtube... people don't need to imply that I don't know what I'm talking about, or that my ISP is crap.
Is kind weird I live in NYC usa with tmobile phone company my I tested download speed around 40 something upload like 15,but everytime when I watch YouTube video if on 720p it keep buffering I must set to 480p or 360p. Anyone know what happend?!?! Or anyone have same kind issue?!

T-Mobile does throttle its video streaming.
