[Q] Skype 2.0 with Video calling

skype recently released a new version of skype for video calling on android phones (Nexus S, Desire S, Xperia Neo and Xperia Pro). is there any way we could make the video feature work on our xperia arc's back cam? i installed it but currently theres no option to do video.

no replies yet.
anyway : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708
download skype from here. install on xperia arc. and start with an audio call and then enable video. never start with a video call or the fone will be stuck in landscape.
p.s the video call quality is very goood

Arc does not have a secondary cam maybe Skype software might look for it. That's why it doesn't load the video.

it works. after the video call starts, click the camera button and select back cam.

Please Help: APP to "PAUSE" while RECORDING a Video.

Hi,
Could anyone pleeeez tell me how to "PAUSE" a video while I am recording it from cam coder and continue recording right from where I paused?
I couldn't find a 'pause' button in the cam-coder of android. I have a HTC Wildfire S (unlocked boot loader) and have tried many custom roms but couldn't find the pausing option while recording.
Could anyone help me with this ??? or suggest me an app from play store??
It will be really helpful for me..
PS: :
i) I already know that video can be recorded as different clips and then can be joined using some video editing s/w .
ii) Its related to pausing while RECORDING and NOT while Playing!!!
Thank You in advance.

in the built in app there isn't one on any rom for our devices . as for apps from play store, not sure would have to search around.

Thank you. Please notify me.

[Q] Audio quality on video recording?

To those of you who have the Note 2 in your hands already, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the mic quality. When recording video, how is the audio? Specifically, imagine recording vid of a live band in a club room.... Is it as bad as previous Samsung mics? Does the Note 2 happen to have built in mic sensitivity settings? Or does it look like it'll require another root/voodoo type setup.
Thanks

Nobody recorded video this weekend?

Bump.

I haven't been anywhere with live/loud music to record (and I imagine others haven't either, hence the lack of responses) but in general usage it seems a little loud so I'm not sure how well it will do with loud music.
For example here's a video I took recently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDb9mE5cpNY (friend gets a bit loud at 1:50)
However I'm not sure if this is a result of the volume mod in this thread or not as I haven't recorded any videos without it.

Ok thanks,
Seems like a very sensitive mic in this video. I was hoping stock would offer more settings for mic control by now. A little surprised this thread isn't getting much traffic.
Voodoo sound is the perfect fix for my current dev. I guess I'll see if that is or will be an option for note2

Here's another video playing music on my really old, ****ty speakers at max volume: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXGOhIz_7eQ
It did a lot better than I expected, coming from my sgs2 (that mic would distort if you looked at it funny)

audio quality when record a vid or a voice notes
Please if u can fix this thing that it will be so amazing .. i need that cuz i love to go clubbing and recoed vid .. also the mic when i record any song on whatsapp (voice note( is awful... im trying to search for a kernel or a mod to fix this ...

Google Hangouts "Camera Error"

Running Imperium Initiative. Has anybody tried using the new Hangouts app for video chat, and if so, have you been able to send outgoing video? Incoming video is fine, but outgoing just displays my G+ picture and a toast notification "Camera Error."

Same problem here on Nexus 4 - seems to be a specific problem with LG branded phones. On my other Galaxy S2 it is working ok. After trying a video chat and a camera error I must reboot the phone to get camera work again,
BTW, if you open Google+ and initiate a video hangouts there - video should work.

Awesome. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.
I noticed the same thing with requiring a reboot to get the camera working again. Thanks for pointing out the G+ workaround.

Worked perfect for me. Running Lifeless 14. No camera error and tested video with multi-person hangout this morning. I've also installed the .xml file from _Epic's camera mod, if that's relevant.

I am on stock+root/unlock. I have the camera XML installed and have used it 5 times for vid calls and no problems. Front and back camera's FYI and works great on 4G

Can 2nd that Lifeless 14 runs this flawlessly, I used it for about 20 minutes last night to give my bro a tour of our new house.

I wonder if there's a problem with Imperium Initiative then. I believe Epic's mods are included. I'll probably jump to an AOSP rom soon anyway.

I have the same problem on Optimus G e971 running the carbon Rom from Paulicat. I tried using the XML mod from epic but still the camera error in hangouts. I'll probably try a different Rom soon.

Switched to Venum (which is based off of Lifeless, goo.im has been slow so I needed a rom with faster hosting), and no more camera error. I found a forum post with a few people saying that Beats audio was causing the hangouts video issue, so that's why I switched to a rom with no Beats.
Any of you guys with camera errors use Beats or have some other DSP manager installed?

i have a problem with the video calls under Jedi ROM. I can see ppl they can't. Rom does have BEAT preloaded. How is this related?

I have no idea, and I can't give you a technical explanation. All I know is that while searching around for a solution I encountered a few others who had made the connection that Beats caused problems, and when I switched to a ROM without Beats my Hangouts worked perfectly. I do know that in the past Beats caused various problems for people on the Evo 4g. If you try removing Beats or switch Roms altogether, let me know what happens.

[Q] LINE App Video Call

I was wondering if there is any other persons have similar problem with LINE App Video Call on our Galaxy ACE II - GT-I8160. According to the App, it says this is not supported on our devices.
I'm on CM 10.1 or even KYRILLOSv8 .
Thanks in advance.
Best regards from Bangkok!

LINE App Video Call
I have the same problem. I have a I8160L and I can't make video calls using LINE App. I think It is something about the App. Maybe, Our device is register to them like a devices with No Jelly Beam and It is in a not compatibility list. I hope They upgrade the App and We will be able to use this function I Heard It's really good.
