Hi.
Can anyone help me how to make 3G video call using LG G3?. The call originating phone and the destination phone are logged into the 3G network and there is no network problem. Kindly help me as it is urgent.
Prety sure you will both need to use the same video calling app, as far as I'm aware there isn't a native video calling fature on the device, but haven't received mine yet to confirm

Why is the LG cheating its customers?. Now I regret a lot buying LG G3. My Samsung N7100 was far more better than this phone.

Not sure why you THINK you're getting cheated, because you're not, you bot simply need ot pick a video calling app, install, use, not that big a deal really, or do you really want MORE bloatware on your devices?

You know, if you took the time to properly write up a coherent diatribe detailing exactly what you need or what you think you have been wronged, it would go a long way getting some feedback. Simply starting a thread and not saying much of anything doesn't help. LG has cheated you in what way exactly?
Video calling requires some sort of video calling service on both ends, and in most cases a video calling app on both ends. You don't say what efforts you've tried (and or failed at). You don't even explain or detail what a Samsung N7100 has to do with the whole equation other than to simply state, "My Samsung N7100 was far more better than this phone". Better in what way? Better at making video calls, making iced lattes, grilling chicken, making custard flans?
So you don't want to use "Skype or similar apps", then what else do you want to video call with? What service provider are you on? What part of the world? Do they use/provide a proprietary video calling service/feature on their network? Which version G3 do you have?
For us to help you, we need more relevant info...

how about if the 8525 will be used in a different network in my country (philippines) that supports videocalling, would it work?

You should make sure that your network provider supports VIDEO CALLING
You don't need to destroy your device by trying to install a camera! You still can get VIDEO CALLS if it is enabled in your ROM. You can see the person who is calling you but nobody can see you!
You might concider the costs of a VIDEO CALL! For the money spent on a VIDEO CALL in 5 minutes you could talk the 'normal way' for hours!
It is possible to tweak the back cam for VIDEO CALLS but what would that help? You can't be watching the screen to see your calling partner and pointing the back cam at you at the same time!
Video calling on the 8525
Look I think the guy is asking a good question. When Video calling is setup on the AT&T network and it will be. it will be one way only and sooner or later they will prefect 2 way video calling. So what is wrong with turning your hand over when it is your turn to talk thus using the rear camera for your side of the video call. then turn your hand to see the video response. The camera in back is far better then the front facing camera. I think if your going to take the time to respond to a question then answer the question, yes or no. Please be helpful not judgmental.

Hmmm, not sure what your problem is! I was as helpful as possible and having an opinion shouldn't be wrong, should it?
at&t
at&t does support video calling, how do i know? i work for them. there are currently two phones that are capable of video calling (one way.) the only thing is that if our computers don't see your phone as one of those two capable video calling phones than the feature for video calling is not available. sorry if you cant really understand what im saying but to me it makes perfect sense.

Hmmm, I am not sure in what department of AT&T you're working in but up to now both large GSM providers within the US do not support VIDEO CALLING. All though T-Mobile has started tests in several areas such as New York city and Los Angeles but this is only available to a few selected TESTERS.
Also: what sense would 1-way VIDEO CALLING make in the way you describe it? Bunch of crap!
Hey if you guys actually took the link he posted, he is thinking about installing a TyTn camera and a black case... no need to turn phone...

I dont know, but this threads reminds me of one of the famous stories in the engineering classes about the situation during the space race where the Americans invested almost $1 million to create a pen that can be used in gravity-less place, where the Soviets solved it by using a pencil. You know that you can use a mirror pointing to yourself in the mirror and still watching the face of the person you called (if in fact you are using the back cam for video calling)

LOL, I better go shopping buying a mirror which matches my device then!
But get serious for a moment: I used VIDOE CALLING a couple of times overseas in Germany with my K800i. I was not very impressed - especially not after I got my phone bill!
That AT&T former Cingular did not really concider launching the VC feature in near future is already to see on the available handsets they provide! Also as only one network provider they downgraded the HTC Hermes hardware by taking off the front camera which really shows you 'how ready and willing' they are to launch this feature soon!
T-Mobile is not ready yet either but under lots of pressure from its sister networks in Europe ...
A sad thing is that new features / standards either hit the market in the US 2 years too late or America decides to go a different way! This always has been the situation in past and won't change soon! This tendency you also can see if you take a closer look at MOBILE TV which is launched already in Europe but here in the States it became almost an 'on demand' service' mainly featured by Verizon and TWC in my area ...
You said 2 years, but in my opinion it is at least 5 years behind Asian countries like Japan, Korea etc...
I think I first knew about video calling 5 years ago during the FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan, and it seems to be already established (correct me if I am wrong), and the technology is still about to be decided in US. Ever seen Tokyo Drift movie (where they do video conference about car racing in Japan)? I wonder when that can be done in US...

AT&T has had MobiTV for a while now... probably 2 years or so.
I agree with what you're saying though. Mobile service providers in the US are ages behind countries like Asia. The main problem though is the average American. The sheep here or perfectly content with paying $100 for a 4 year old cell phone (the Razr) while a $300 phone (The Tilt) gets brushed aside like an annoying fly.
Until attitudes change in the US regarding mobile technology (which they never will), we will never see the nice mobile stuff here.

Yeah, you're referring to the camera built into the front of the device. The European version has it installed, but the US versions had it removed. It's used for video calling and in the US, the cell networks are so bogged down by data usage, that it's really not possible. If you look at the front of your phone, top right, you might still be able to faintly see where the camera is supposed to be.

Don´t know exactly, but sure not here.
Something that is operator locked the front camera cause has forbidden in USA,
and if you unbranded the phone you can use it for video call.
It was removed by HTC for all US phones. It's not forbidden, it's just not practical on the networks in the US. There are way too many teens texting and watching videos of stupid musical artists (Lady Gaga) for the networks to have enough room for live video feeds (that have to be as dependable as their phone service itself).

hope that not true
Yes very true. I own the HTC Touch Pro 2 and mine does come with two cameras one in front for video calling and the other at the back.
the cameras are always removed on branded devices. no us carrier actually supports it for video calling. the camera is only accessible through the dialer so its useless to have it in america anyways. att does offer something called video sharing but it uses the back camera.
Hello everyone,
I am purchasing a Verizon Touch Pro 2 in the United States. Firstly, I have read many reviews on this product, and hear that battery life can be an issue. What battery options do I have for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I have combed google, but with no success, so I bring this question to the experts.
Secondly, I love this forum and have used it to find lots of skins and apps for my previous WinMo devices. However, I looked in the ROMs section for this device and I have no clue how to chose a rom. What are some of the best ROMs that will work with my Verizon Touch Pro 2 in the US. Also, would I lose any Verizon functionality by flashing a new ROM?
There doesnt seem to be much information about the Verizon TP2 on the internet (unless I just really suck at finding it), so I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you so much!
-Rick
As far as I know, as soon as you flash your device you also delete everything on it including original apps and functionalities.
For the battery life, it depends on roms and how much you use your device...
To choose a rom, it's up to you... Each ROM provides different features so read ROMS description and when you find one that you really like, download it and enjoy
Well, are there any restrictions because I use verizon? Will all roms be compatible with verizon regardless?
I have another question. I am considering using VOIP to save money rather than pay verizon for my minutes. Is there a good way to integrate skype or another VOIP solution into my phone's default interface? For example, I dont want to have to open up a special app every time I call. I just want to be able to receive and send calls with no extra effort.

No, you are on CDMA being verizon. Only CDMA roms will work, otherwise you will possibly brick your device. These are our forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
I have used google voice before for voip, I believe there is a dialer you can download idialer-gv or something which will call from your google voice number. I never set that up to use VOIP, but I did at one point use VOIP with gizmo and my google voice number, I had to jump through some hoops to make a call though.
K thanks i have figured out alot of other stuff too.
Yeah I dont really want to jump through hoops, its worth the money for integration of features. That is why I am paying for this phone in the first place. Im sick of toting around an ipod, phone, and pda separately.
Well... you cant!
I've checked with HTC. See below
==============================================
Thank you for contacting HTC!
Regarding your HTC One X issue, kindly be noted that HTC doesn't support direct video calling for the moment. We have already forwarded this request to our Technician Department for future products improvement.
Meanwhile, you can download and install Skype or Tango from Google Play Store to use video calling on your HTC One X.
Sorry for the inconvenience we caused and appreciate your understanding in advance!

It's 2012, who does 3g video calling anymore?
There's plenty of other much better, much cheaper options.
You can't do it on many android phones AFAIK.

Very true, people use other apps to video call each other via wifi or 3g.
Maybe its not such a surprise after all..
Samsung phones support this. But it is important to understand that native video calling uses generic 3G speeds only for video quality. Whereas Skype and other solutions make full use of an HSPA connection resulting in MUCH higher video quality. While it would be good to have 3G video calling for completeness, it is an outdated technology, bettered significantly by the likes of Skype.

It's an annoyance, especially considering video dall minutes are included in my voice minutes, wheras Skype etc would come out of my Data Allowance.
I understand all your points..
But its one thing to not use a facility but not to have it in a top smartphone raises a little concern right?
Why Sony is not incorporating native video calling in their xperia S is out of my understanding...
Nokia has it in their Symbians and even Windows phones...
Samsung has done in their few androids as well...
And few more...
why cant Sony...

When the SGS2 came out the majority wanted to know how to remove the 3G video calling option from the dialer. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Even where handsets do have Video over 3g enabled (like some Nokia's) there are still limitations between carriers…. some carriers wont accept video calls from other carriers , and others wont allow outgoing calls to other carriers. Think their maybe some compatibility issues between handsets too.
So, even though your dependant on both caller and receiver having Skype etc on their handsets and having a good data plan (or wifi), these limitations are only as prohibitive of the native 3g calling
Steve
Geez I never that I couldnt make video calling seems a waste though to say teh least, then again havnt made one since it was first introduced
video call have lesser rates compared to 3g data. And here in India 3g is much costlier
i dont see why those who are against 3G calls are against it !
In some parts of the world, VOIP (or any video calls that uses internet) is prohibited unless licensed by the telecommunications regulatory bodies and telecos. This is practiced to ensure a monopolistic dominance over the teleco market, which draws a massive amount of its profits from expatriates making very expensive calls (voice calls or even using the internet) to their home countries.
In the united arab emirates where i live for example, even skype runs with alot of hiccups due to this, not to mention that the website itself is blocked. So yes it may be 2012 to you guys, but over here is no later than the late 90s when it comes to this regard.
That being said, HTC should've done like samsung, they equipped their phones with 3G calls capability anyways, and thats it. And btw, 3G calls are so popular here because 3G data plans are in contrast more expensive than those calls themselves. Its their house and their rules...HTC are so deluded !
If samsung included it in their phones then HTC (or any other phone maker) should. Weather its used by the end user or not is a personal matter between the phone and the user.
And did anyone find any reasonable video call APP? Skype does not support HOX yet, and max possible resolution is 320x240. This kinda sucks. Gtalk is not any better to be honest. Best quality i was able to achieve was Google+ Hangout but still it was far from what HOX has to offer (1280x720).
Does anyone know if the S7 will support the ability to use Voice and LTE data at the same time?
I am saving up for an S6 but if the S7 will support this with Sprint, than I will continue to save and purchase the S7. I currently have the S5 and can live with it for awhile longer if the S7 will have LTE and Voice.
PS: Couldn't find a "next gen devices" thread.
Regardless I would wait for the S7 if I were you man. Comes out in like 2-3 months.

Well, the thing is I could get an S6 for half the price of the S7. And if it doesn't have the LTE while on voice feature, I would rather pay for the S6 (I'm broke lol) But by the time the S7 comes out I could have enough money. I also would prefer the S6 cause there is much more support and development available for it. Then again I could always compile my own S7 kernel and start the modding myself.
Is the S7 really going to be all that great? I read rumors that its going to have the best camera of all the devices and such. Which I would definitely love. Plus the 4K screen. Meh, I guess I should just save up for the S7. Still would like to know if it will support the data while on voice. I really hope Sprint realizes this is a much missed feature. Albeit, I can live without it but having it would be awesome.
Thanks for the reply!
Only Rumors For Now
There are a number of articles with rumors and speculation, but none that I have seen address your question about simultaneous LTE and voice.
Here is my round-up based only on sites that I like:
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...samsung-galaxy-s7-what-we-want-to-see-1293401
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-s7-news/
Maybe bigger, maybe better screen, faster processor and better audio. Liquid cooling seems far fetched, but okay.
They use the same sources and, as I said, don't answer your question.
If voice and data at the same time is the key feature for you, I'd look at alternative devices.

Well apparently from my extensive research, the voice and LTE on Sprint is not a Samsung/HTC/LG issue, its a Sprint issue. The new Spark they rolled out broke the feature, and would require more hardware tweaking my Sprint to Samsung for it to work. So another device I don't think would help. The last phone to support this feature was the S3 but doesn't use Sprint Spark.
You know, right after I wrote this I recalled reading that it was Sprint.
The issue seems to be Sprint's delayed roll out of VoLTE (Voice over LTE)
See if you can learn when it is due to hit your area.

So the VoLTE is more so tower dependent than it is device dependent? Does the S6 support VoLTE if the tower supports it? I'm reading things that say in 2016 VoLTE will be a thing for sprint is most areas. I would prefer to get the S6 cause I just can't fathom paying ~700 bucks for a cell phone. I usually get mine on eBay/Swappa for like 350 to 400 depending on condition. The S6 would surely suffice for me. My brother has it and I really like it.
Contradictory Information All Over
I found lots of contradictory information. Either we'll have this capability...or we won't. Two years ago they were going to start the roll out or maybe it won't happen.
This was the latest that i found that could be considered official: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/216897
"If at such time we enable Voice over LTE on our devices, you will be able to do it simultaneously without Wi-Fi." (That addresses your specific question about the S6 and seemed hopeful.)
"We do not have any information pertaining that at this time. Sprint Spark devices are not Simultaneous Voice and Data capable unless connected via Wi-Fi. " (And that answer right below that is not so hopeful.)
Sorry, man, don't know what to tell you.

Thanks man. I think I may talk to my local store manager about it. He's a nerd like us and knows a lot about whats going on and tells me. If I get any info, i'll be sure to post back.
Also, would the Snapdragon processor rumored to be in the S7 better than an Exynos? I always thought Exynos processors were better performance wise. I also read that having a Snapdragon processor would mean more/better development here on XDA.
This is truly a tough choice haha.
On a side: What is up with everyone complaining about the lack of SD card in the S6 and S7? Yeah it sucks, but that is what OTG is for. I have the S5 and hardly use my SD card. Its mainly used for storing backups on. So I just plug in my USB flash drive and store them on there instead if I didn't have an SD slot.
Also, whats up with a "Pressure sensitive display"? I have one question, why? Lol. I guess instead of "Long pressing" something, its quicker/easier to press harder? I just feel like myself and others are going to get annoyed by it due to accidental hard presses when in a hurry/not paying attention. I really don't see it being "that cool" that is makes me want to buy it.
