Back camera Skype not working - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey guys, my wife has a S4 and everything is working great! However, yesterday she tried to do video calling on Skype. The front camera works no problem, but the back camera is not displaying anything... Is this a Skype issue? The back camera works fine in the camera app.

Skype doesnt support all android devices. May be its because its Microsoft child.
I never made it work on my s3 too. Havent tried on s4 though.

It's plain fring-to-fring video chat. No special protocol like ICQ or MSN is used.
Oh disappointing.i was going to video call my brother in japan

You can receive video calls using unlocked Skype 2.0.47 version from xda but as far as I know you can't send video from your own phone. I have black image from my camera (G2 with 02/07/11 CM nightlie) when video calling with other person using Windows version of Skype. Really good receiving video quality over wi-fi, though.

yah same here i tried the unlocked version from xda and i can see the other person from a pc and from an iphone but video isnt working on my side (black screen)
It won't work since Skype wants its video stream from a front camera. Which we ain't got. If it can be done on an N1 and it doesn't work on ours, maybe its calling in a weird way.
New build for Desire HD works well on G2/Desire Z with CM nightlies.
Here's the link to working version:

Nor working with every rom. I suppose it depends of the base used.
i downloaded the official skype from the market, and i made a successful 2 way video call from lebanon to canada... it was awesome, no lag, no problem
Try qik
Works but uses rear cam

Worked fine when I was on stock OTA gingerbread, I skyped my girlfriend for about an hour but it was pretty silly with no front facing camera , haven't tested it with CM 7.1 yet.
I didnt get problems in the past using CM 7.1 with that

Give Skype a try. Tango video was always choppy at best for me.

Why are you uninstalling and reinstalling if the problem seems to be on their end? You say everything works fine for you so maybe it's their phone. Like, maybe they don't have their speaker on.
Really, you need to contact the dev by email from the Play store and be sure to tell him what kind of phone you have, what kind the other person has, etc.

Yes, Skype is working on new N7. Don't know about other video apps working on N7 or not.
OK thanks for the info.

Hangouts works fine here too.

Tested Skype with a friend last night on both our new Nexus 7's, and the camera was super zoomed in for both of us. Did you guys notice this? Even holding the tablet at full arms length, just our faces filled up the entire screen.
Also had issues with echo, we had to turn down our volumes really low so there wouldn't be mic feedback.
Hangouts is gut only video chat app I've tried on my N7 FHD. Works great! I use it on my other tablet and my phones as well. Love having just 1 app that can handle sooooo much!! It's awesome!!

Yep! I have the same problem. I had the video set on high quality. Going to try it on low quality to see if that makes any difference.

Tried Low Quality. Didn't make any difference. This problem makes Skype almost unuseable on the N7. Anyone else able to use Skype at 24 inch viewing distance and able to send a head and shoulders video?
Google hangouts? Ive used it with my wife on her nexus and me on my LG

Supertube and pvstar are not working do they work for you?

Hello. I recently purchased my note 3 coming from a HTC sensation one thing I noticed it that one of my favorite apps supertube would no longer work with my new note 3. When I play a video in it and press the home button the video should keep playing in the background but it isint.
So I then tried pvstar and the same issue happened when I leave the app the audio stops even tho its supposed to keep playing. I have used these apps for a while with my sensation so is it that they just don't work with the note 3?
Would you mind testing them out on your phone and see if they will still play?
Thanks

I have same issue on my s3.
On my old Galaxy Trend supertube was working fine but now i face same issue as you i hope someone knows a fix.
One easy solution is multiwindow. Then make the YouTube window really small.
i already found the solution:
use viral its much better and does the same thing.

Was just about to reccomend viral. Since supertube was taken down from the playstore and viral works perfectly with the Note 3.
