Is anyone else having issues with video calling on the s3? I tried video calls through Skype, oovoo, tango etc... but all seem to react the same way. They would work for 10 seconds then it would disconnect. This issue only happens when using my front facing camera.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
Back camera works fine and doesn't disconnect
Tried another phone to see if it was a WiFi issue and it works fine.
Turned off WiFi power save mode
Note: I thought the phone might be defective so I traded it for a new one and still the same issue.
Any help would be great. Thanks

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Use the Options>About Messenger>Report A Problem menu to report this to yahoo if you want it to be fixed.
I was just using this today. Its pretty f'n awesome; Being able to video call to yahoo users really opens up the functionality. Lets hope they add support for the front facing cam soon...
you can always talk in a mirror
it is currently working fine with video chat, it just picks the back camera instead of the front
I tried it at home from my SGS to PC and it worked decently enough
however i tried from my SGS to my friend's iphone4 who is half the world away and it was pretty laggy :<
And the iphone app is still miles better than the android one when it comes to speed. Hope they optimize it soon!
also they released video calling for iphone but it doesnt work on the ipod touch 4 which has 2 cameras.
Has anybody tried voice calling sans the video? How do you rate that? Does it work with earphones? Can you use earphones with video calling and use back camera for that?
You cannot skip the video. Or, at least, I didn't realized how to do that.

I'm with ya on that one...it just sits there "calling".
Yup with ya. Installed Yahoo messenger and set up a second test account. Try calling from phone or PC and nothing happens on the other. Call is not notified and ends as unanswered.
May be there are only some lucky people who can Make Video Calls Right Now ... Looks like we will have to wait for the Official Yahoo Video Version for Us

I'm running SGS with 2.2 froyo here, and the answer is no it doesn't work with headset, and there is a big feedback between the phone speaker and its mic, you'll keep on hearing echo.
By the way it works when you call the computer with the phone but not vice versa. The voice quality was great, if you are hearing it from the computer but if you are using the phone you will keep on hearing echoes.
It only recognize the back 5mp camera, and even there is a switch camera option, still you couldn't choose the front camera when chatting.
But still this was one great app, at least somehow it is working... hope there will improvements when it comes to compatibility with SGS when the official version comes out.
So I recently had to have my phone sent back to samsung for warranty work (I turned it into a hard brick). They replaced the motherboard and sent it back to me. I've had it a month and a half now and started using the camera to take videos again. The weird thing is that there's this crackling, staticky noise throughout every video I take!!! It makes the video camera completely useless! I don't have any problems in calls or other apps that use the microphone, only the video camera, and the pictures still turn out perfectly! I'm completely stumped...any ideas?
Video taken before the phone was serviced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8NoXlaGXIc
Video taken after the phone was serviced: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10200461462722410
The only difference between these two videos is the motherboard swap and possibly jellybean update...one sounds great, the other one sounds awful!
*Bump*
Anyone have any ideas?
Just recently I have experienced a strange issue that whenever I record the video, afterward, I get no audio when I play it back.
The mic works flawlessly when I make or receive a call no there's no issue with the mic.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Flashing Stock ROM and the LineageOS 14.1 .
2. Changing many camera apps on playstore to record the video.
I have never used a Bluetooth headset with my phone so that also eliminates the possibility.
Can anyone figure this issue out as I am kinda confused whats wrong with this device...
Thanks!
Well so I have the issue where microphone would not work sometimes, yeah I know Pixels have the hardware microphone issues but I am not sure! For me suddenly the mic would stop working! No sound in videos, no sound picked up from audio recording apps, no google assistant response etc., but the good thing is phone call audio always works! So I let a sound decibel metre app run for half an hour to see whether the audio is breaking in middle, and no, there is no breakage in middle, so when it works it works, it doesn't stop in middle, but when I wake the phone up after say a one hour standby then it stops responding. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes it simply starts working after a while!
I am on stock ROM, rooted with SuperSU and using suhide etc., could this be a software issue?
My mic stopped working in Sept or Oct. Also connect a headset and audio still plays from the speaker. But phone somewhat knows a headset was connected, the music will stop playing from the speaker when I unplug the headset. After Oct update I a reset, issue persist.
Oh, and I can't use the phone as a phone. If I answer or call, the phone hangs and reboots.
No issues here, since it works sometimes, means that no hardware issue, try a factory reset.

I'm having the same problem with mine. I have to reboot and let it settle for a few min after then it seems to work fine for a while until it happens again.

Are you using the call recorder app ? I find that to be the culprit.
Next time, it stops working, just ls -l /dev/snd, and see whether one file is with permission 600. ( I could not recall the detailed filename now ).
After changing the permission to 660 of that file, everything will work once again.

Problem persisted factory reset and updated factory image install. Warranty replacement and replacement is working fine.
Hi.
I have been using this forum for years but this is the first time I started a thread so I hope it hasn't been answered before. I did a search but didn't see anything that matches my query.
I have a Sony bravia XF9005 running android 7 and I haven't updated android since I bought it.
I was trying to get a video conferencing app to work on the TV because I had been using screen mirroring from apps on my phone but the quality was hit and miss and it wasn't as convenient as doing it directly on the TV.
I have managed to get Skype Lite, Zoom and Jami onto the TV and used TV App Repo to create shortcuts for them in the launcher.
I have connected a logitech C270 webcam to the TV and got it to work for video. I got this working by switching the TV to pro mode and running Skype which then connected to the camera. When I switch back to normal TV mode Skype, Zoom and Jami all work fine with the camera but the audio mic built-in to the camera is not working.
I got around this problem by connecting a USB mic to another USB port on the TV and it works well when I can get the apps to connect to it. The mic I am using is a Blue Yeti.
In Skype lite if I make a video call to another Skype account everything seems fine until both devices are connected but then I have no audio from the Yeti. I have found a quick way around this is to make an audio call to the other device, the yeti is recognised and the audio works perfectly, then I just switch on the video and both work fine. It is the same for receiving a Skype call, if I answer with video the Yeti doesn't work but if I answer as audio only it works fine, then I can just switch the video on and it's all good again. I'm not too bothered about this as the workaround is easy enough.
In Zoom I have been able to get it to work well with both the camera and the mic but there are problems with it too. When I first installed the latest Zoom app and started a meeting it asks me for permission to use my video and my audio. When I give permission both work perfectly and I have had 4 devices in a meeting with no problems at all. As long as I don't close the app I can go from meeting to meeting with no problem but when I close the app and open it again I have no audio from the Yeti. I found a workaround on this as well but it is not as easy as the Skype one. Before I open Zoom I go to the app settings and permissions and disable the microphone permission for Zoom. Then when I create a meeting the app asks me for the mic permission and everything works perfectly again.
I have gone into the developer options and changed the Select USB Configuration to Audio Source. I have also allowed zoom to automatically switch on the sound in one of its settings but neither has made any difference. It seems like after the app is closed it doesn't recognise the mic on the next use.
Is there a way of automatically disabling a permission for an app after the app is closed or does anyone know of another workaround. I know that the apps aren't designed to work on the Android TV version of Android but bar these little problems they do work well.
I haven't really played around with Jami as much as the others so I haven't looked to see if I can get the audio working with it but the video works fine. I also tried the normal Skype app but it tends to turn itself into portrait mode when you are making calls or changing settings whereas the Skype Lite app runs perfectly in landscape all the time and it is much quicker too.
I was going to try Tellybean but I haven't got around to it yet plus most people already know Skype and now Zoom whereas I'm not sure how wide Tellybean is known.
Thanks for any help.
Hmm, a difficult situation. Have you solved this problem yet? A friend of mine works with conferences on https://brightvisionevents.co.uk/conferences / and he often gives me advice about my work because I often use conferences. I had a similar situation. Most likely, this is an incorrect operation of the microphone drivers. I think either reinstalling Windows or removing the microphone drivers and installing them from the official website of your Blue Yeti microphone can help you. I hope my advice helped you and you will solve your problem. Write if you have succeeded in everything, maybe it will help someone. Good luck!
