Funny how the blogs posted a article today saying the skype app was updated to include video calling on many phones including the incredible S. however, I didn't see the 2. I thought thye were nearly the same phones? does it make sense why they would release it on the S and not the dinc2?
From the app description in the market:
Some notes:
If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed in the What's New section, you should still be able to enable video calling in Skype settings. Please note that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.
On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera.
If the setting to enable video calling is not available in the Skype Settings on your device that means video calling is not yet supported on your phone.

I tested this on my own inc 2 and it worked with no real issues whatsoever.

i have 2.3.3 on my phone, GB OTA update. no root. my phone has skype 2.1.0.46 on it right now, and i'm not seeing anywhere for video. When you got it working, is it just mobile to mobile video, or can you do a mobile to desktop video?

I tested with mobile-to-desktop.
Make sure you're using the Skype from the market and not the pre-loaded one named Skype for Verizon. Go into the settings and the last section is labeled "Video calls." There should be an option that says "Enable video calling." I had to manually enable it.

well IMAGINE that... i just had to go to settings to enable the video call. it gave me some warnign message, but let me enable it. i did just try my dinc2 to my macbook, didn't work, but im going to try with another mobile. when chatting with the macbook, on the dinc2 it lets me click the video button, but it goes to a black screen for a second, then comes back to the menu, so its probably crashing the program on the phone... probably cause its chatting with a mac

My girlfriend has a Macbook Pro and the first time we tried it, it wouldn't let her enable video on her side but she could see me. The next time we tried it worked perfectly and has been ever since.
I am experiencing problem voice dialing from bluetooth headset on jellybean roms on the vzw gNexus.
On any non jellybean rom i can say... for example... "call mom on mobile" and it will, 95% of the time call mom. On jelly bean if i say the same phrase, it will 100% of the time return "calling tim, on mobile". In fact, it doesn't mater what contact name i say, it it ALWAYS suggests the wrong contact.
I thought, ok, lets try google now. If i open google not, tap the mic(voice input) option, and say, "call mom on mobile" it will fill in the search box with "call mom on mobile" so its understanding me correctly, then below that is says
"did you mean call tim on mobile"
and lists tim then mom in a list of numbers to call.
I spent over 3 hours trying to get this to work right, flashed every JB rom i could find, wiped and rewiped and reflashed. Finally went back to ICS and retested, sure enough it works awesome on ICS.
Can anyone atleast try to replicate this problem, or is anyone already experiencing it?
THanks!
Bump
Bump again.
Almost 50 views, if anyone using a bluetooth and Jellybean can at least try it and let me know if it happens to you or not. Thanks
Works fine for me.

what phone and rom are you using? Looks like GSM, and OTA.
I just checked it again and i got:
"Call mom on mobile"
**Did you mean -Mark**
Mark
Mom
Kathy
thats from google now.
If it activate the voice dialer directly from the bluetooth, it will call bob, mark, tim, or funniest a business name that starts with "borderview". Even after 20 tries it will not dial "mom" lol.
Alternatively, I tried dialing mark, tim, bob, and borderview directly, and after 10 tries each, they will not dial if i try to dial them, only if i try and dial mom. lol very frustrating.
Yes stock gsm JB with root. Does it only happen with your headset? If so, try a different BT headset.

It happens using a $150 bose headset, as well as a $20 plantronics.
If it don't use the bluetooth i still get terrible suggestions, such as..
"call mom on mobile"
Did you mean call tim?
Tim
Mom
Mark
wtf???
That's weird. Only thing I'd try now is flashing a different JB rom, but I can't really imagine that being the problem. Have you let someone else try it? Maybe it is you after all.
In have tried 3 different roms, and have been using the voice dialer since android 2.1 on over 10 devices. Also it works flawlessly on ISC using the same hardware. Is anyone able to successfully Bluetooth voice dial on jelly bean on a vzw gnexus?

I just flashed my Sprint Nexus to JB last night and have exactly the same problem. I hadn't tried any calling on ICS before I flashed, so I can't compare on the same phone.
I just came from an Epic 4G Touch that used Vlingo, and it was always about 95% accurate. I hate to step backwards, but I may have to switch back to that.
Why can't anyone mimic the old MS voice dial where it asked for confirmation before dialing? If I said, "Call mom on mobile", it would ask, "Call mom on mobile?" I said "Yes" and it would dial.
The way it is now goes against all safety concerns for hands-free driving. Now I have to look at the screen as it starts to dial and madly grab at the End Call button when it guesses the wrong name to call.

Im glad someone finally responded and said yes i have this problem, or no i use this feature and it works every time.
THis is a huge concern and i feel its only happening on the ported(CDMA) roms.
Can anyone else confirm this on a toro or toroplus, and confirm that this is not an issue on GSM gnexus's?
Thanks!

This makes me feel very strongly that the issue has been caused by something in the porting process. I will PM on of the devs. and see if he can reproduce it.
i am also having this problem on my CDMA nexus with JB. Everytime it's not even remotely close to properly detecting my call request.
I absolutely love the cyberon voice dialer because it works and it has verification.
Unfortunately, under JB when you press the dial button on the bluetooth headset the google now voice dialer overrides my cyberon voice dialer. The only way to make cyberon work is to completely disable google search. This completely disables all the new voice command support and google now as well.
Basically 3rd party voice dialers are no longer compatible!
No, the built in dialer is still unusable especially without verification.
For me, I've always had absolutely horrible results when using voice dial initiated from the Bluetooth earpiece (two different Jawbone Icons, three different Android phones, Eclair through Jelly Bean, official or custom ROM.)
Using voice search, Google Now, JB voice typing, or Dragon with Swype, it's perfect..

Can the long button press be changed from voice dial to voice search? (I think those are the right terms.) Voice search understands and dials much better. Plus, it sucks to be limited to just dialing from the headset.

Cyberon is awesome. I wouldn't use a voice dialer without confirmation. I don't want people calling me back because my dialer got it wrong. Sometimes this can cause serious problems. If google adds a confirmation option that's when I'll give them a serious try. I've been told even the iphone voice dialer has confirmation.

T-Mobile Note 3, all stock, not rooted, all the latest updates installed. My wife has an identical phone. Standing right next to her if I call her, her phone says HD voice and mine does not.
How can I get it? Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

Yeah I'm connected to LTE. Literally standing right next to the person I'm calling. Her phone is identical to mine as far as I can tell, except her HD voice works and mine doesn't.
The baseband version says N900TUVUDNF4 and the weird thing is my wife's phone shows the same exact thing.
But it says the device is up to date when I tap on software update.
Is there a way to force it to update to NF6? Weird that it works on hers but not mine.

So I noticed I'm getting HD voice intermittently now, so is my wife. Only 1 of us can get it though. If I call her or she calls me, either I will have it or she will have it, but never both of us at the same time.
We've duplicated this countless times. We can be right next to each other, or 30 miles away from each other. It doesn't matter. 1 of us will have HD voice, and the other won't. And which one of us has HD voice will change. If we hang up and call back 10 times, I will have HD voice several of those times (but she won't), and she will have HD voice the rest (but I won't). Even if neither of us move an inch, this is how it always works, whether right next to each other or 30 miles apart.
We're both still using the identical Note 3s, not rooted, with all the latest updates and with T-Mobile service, on the same account.
Has anyone ever confirmed both parties had HD voice on a call, with T-Mobile Note 3s?
I have noticed the data issue is resolved though. No more needing to activate and deactivate airplane mode to keep data flowing. The latest update did indeed seem to fix that issue.
I'm confused: Don't you need phones on both ends to be HD voice capable to be able to use HD voice? At least thats what I think I remember from reading about it. In other words when you call your wife and it says HD voice on your phone, isn't it HD voice call both ways, regardless if it says so on her as well or not? Maybe message comes up only on originating phone, or something like that.

Maybe, I don't know. I know it definitely only says it on 1 of our phones. Don't know if it's really HD voice or not on both of them.
Is there a way to check, other than it saying "HD Voice" on the phone app?

If your data icon change from LTE to 4G when you are in a call then your HD voice is not working, or you are in an area where LTE is not implemented yet. But if your icon stays on LTE your HD voice is for sure working.

So I just installed the latest T-Mobile update and this issue is resolved in that update.
Does anyone know how to enable video calling from withing the phone dialer. I read that the Verizon version has it. and T-Mobile allows it so if I could get it to appear I'd imagine it would work.
My understanding is to get it to show up as an option you have to enable it on your Verizon account. If it isn't enabled then the phone won't show it. I went through the dialer and enabled it but it still didn't show up in the calling app until I enabled it with Verizon. Code for dialer is **#*#4636#*#**

See I have the one from Google, on T-Mobile and it worked on my note 7. I called and they said it was enabled. I wonder of anyone with T-Mobile has it working and can share their steps.
In that dialer code menu there is a toggle to enable it, just with Verizon it didn't make any difference and actually toggled it back off.

Hmmmm. I'll call T-Mobile and see if there's an option like that for me. Did you call and do that or is it something you did manually.
For Verizon, you have to have the My Verizon app and then the option shows if to enable it off the call settings menu

You're correct even on DU it doesn't work. It looks like it works but when the person on the other end picks up the call video turns off.

In my experience the video calling only works when calling someone with a Android phone that also supports video calling on T-Mobile... For instance when I had my note 7 I could video chat my dad who had a s7 edge and my cousin with a V20 and even my cousin with a s7 edge on att.... But no iOS phones or Android phones without native support... This makes me wonder what in the code your ROM changed.

No, they said to contact TMobile. TMobile tried to assume me to expect it in the future but without any timeframe.
So I've been on att forever. Of course you know they don't allow volte and he voice on non att phones.
Well I had something kind of exciting happen the otherday. I have been running Omni rom 8.1 with Google dialer for few days now. I had a friend of mine who is on a att iPhone 7 call me and all of a sudden it showed a HD icon and the call was alot more clear. Now I still don't have a volte icon and I don't think I can make HD Calls yet . Like I tried calling my dad on a stock 3T and it didn't work but if I call my friends iPhone 7 I get HD calls all day . I'm wondering if it has something to do with google and att finally making it work with the pixel 2 if it has something to do with it. I haven't been able to test it with anyone else but wondering if anyone else has had HD call working with att?
