Mobile video chat - XPERIA X1 General

So about a month ago i made a trip to Brazil. Though i was down there i still wanted to keep in contact with my girlfriend so i figured i'd look around for an app that would allow me to video chat. I came across ivisit. Ivisit worked however i experienced choppy video as well as the inability to use the front camera. I was wondering if any of you had any input or suggestion on other mobile video chat programs that you have had success with

This application even works on my metro PCS WM phone

my friend told me that there is this new cell phone player which has the capability to stream videos from
you tube,google,dailymotion and myspace when you search for one video but at first I thought he was kidding but later I found out that there is an cell phone application
can do this amazing stuff. This mobile application is called Avotmv and you can download this aaplication at http://www.avotmv.com it plays videos from you tube,google,dailymotion and myspace
the best news is that it's free and it will play on any phone windows mobile phone.My favorite part of about this application is that you don't have to have a specifc cell phone carrier.
Holy cow!!! this is the best thing that has happen to me after a long time. I love this application this is best video search application I have ever seen so far.
it works great on my windows WM phone. It plays videos without getting stuck and it's full screen what more can you ask for?
i'm connected via wifi. clicked on a video/thumbnail, but am stuck at the buffering page ..
how long does it take to stream a video?
i installed the app on storage card, could that be the reason?

YouTube PROBLEM

When i open HTC YouTube app it doesn't load the thumbnails of the videos, only the gray tv icons! Does anyone else have same issue?
How can i fix this?
Thanks!
yes i have the same problem! i've searched for some answers and no luck. the google youtube works fine but it's not the same quality.
Me too! The same problem with HTC's Youtube client.
I noticed that under the history tab, some old videos i had viewed about a week ago had their thumbnails displayed whereas the more recent videos had none (an active internet connection is required to load these 'history thumbnails').
Also, from a "fresh" list of videos,if you click on the description button (!), a thumbnail sometimes loads on the description screen.
This leads me to conclude it's not the software, but somehow Youtube has stopped sending/changed the preview pictures that accompany the video description.
Is this just a temporary glitch, or does Google want us all to switch to its own viewer?
guys
go for the offical youtube app from google
its work for me and its faster than the htc youtube
demo video

download last version
http://m.google.com/youtube/download/binaries/L1/2.0.9/youtube.CAB
yeah o dont reallu like the google youtube version its faster but less quality. anyway i was having the same problem now is working fine. maybe it was a problem on the youtube server or maybe upgrading my sprint rom to the latest htc version fixed it.

Poor Youtube Video Quality with Hero

Today at Sprint store I played the same YouTube video on the Hero and the Pre side by side. The Pre looked great, the Hero had a very low frame rate and poor resolution. I hope someone can tell me something was wrong with the Hero and it is not always like this.
I am seriously considering buying a Hero and have been spending a lot of time at my local Sprint story getting to know it. Today I was trying out flash video on many sites and they all looked bad like I described above. I just assumed the videos had a poor source until I tried a YouTube video on the Pre. It is hard to believe all the reviews I have been seeing of the Hero wouldn't have hammered it for this if it were a common problem.
maybe the reviews didn't hammer it since at the time the choice was 'average flash performance' vs 'no flash at all'... I always watch youtube vids in the You Tube app which plays them smooth as silk, even in HD (with the occasional flutter)
If the need for smooth Flash animations takes precedence over the 1001 other unbelievably high quality aspects of the HTC Hero, then you should probably just buy a Pre like all the other dorks...
The quality of the video on the actual YouTube app is way superior to that you will get going onto the main site via the browser and the HTC Flash player.

I'm not sure if the YouTube app chooses the video quality for you or not based on your connection. But, if the video starts off on low quality, just hit the menu button, choose "more" on the pop-up menu, and then select High Quality. It's crystal clear after that.
Thanks for the replies. I will try to get back to the Sprint store today and try out the video quality options.
How do I know if the video is playing in the YouTube app or not? The video I tried played full screen. Must I navigate there from a separate app than the browser?
Erik
it is true, i did not know that. I usually watched videos through the site. Tried the youtube app on my hero and it is indeed crystal clear. Cool

It is a physically separate app from which you can search/view Youtube videos. It came preloaded on my GSM Hero, so I assume it's still on the Sprint Hero.
If you go to Youtube via the browser, it launches the HTC Flash Player when you try to view a video, and this is quite poor! Thinking about it, I think on the G1 if you were on YouTube in a browser, it would launch any videos via the Youtube app (since it doesn't have a flash player).

It seems the phone should be smart enough to know you are loading YouTube videos and load the YouTube player instead of the HTC Flash Player.

I think the "idea" is that if you have flash, you don't need the YouTube app. Sadly, it's a bad idea!

exactly what I do and the quality is awesome, suck that the app wont allow you to choose HD for all videos.
Good advice in this thread and I would like too add I do not miss it Pre one bit. That device has some serious flaws not likely to be addressed for another year. Namely its weak SDK, lack of deep system / hardware access and lack of GPU support. The Pre can't use its own hardware properly much less the lack of options in all of the OS.

Wait, are you saying you have to do tell it to play high quality every time? That would suck indeed, and would be a serious oversight in functionality.

Yes you do unless on WiFi. Then I think it automatically goes into high quality mode
Pre vs and youtube
I stoped by a Bell to try a Pre and compared it to my HTC touch on same Bell network, yes picture was great on Pre but it was slow, in fact I gave up waiting for it to load some video as my touch was playing them in half the time. Today at work we had my touch on bell a Touch 2 Pro on Telus and a iPhone on rogers, all playing the same video from You Tube and nothing compared to the touch pro 2 for quality video was HD looking and played without jumping, the IPhone 3gs crashed tohe sound quit working we had to restart it, and it then worked but picture of video was not full screen as the other two had. Big differance was the way they handled buffering the IPhone buffered all at first then played non-stop the other two would play a few seconds then buffer for up to 2 minutes play a few seconds then again buffer. I then played my IPod Touch same video but wifi, again video did not fit all the screen but no buffering and no digitaizing. So all in all a big disapointment with all three networks and their ability to play streaming HD video!
I was at the Sprint store again today and tried to enable high quality, but could never find the setting. I pressed the menu button over and over again while the video was playing, but it never did anything. Also, I intentionally loaded a video via the YouTube App and the quality was still bad. Furthermore I rebooted the device to be sure it wasn't just loaded down with running programs.
Weird
With the video on you press menu > more > watch high quality.
That's what I did. I pushed the menu button next to the trackball and nothing happened. No menu appeared. I also pushed every other button and the touched the screen.

Video Teleconferencing Apps?

Does Qik app work on the Adam?
What other video teleconferencing apps you guys use or plan on using on your Adam?
Yahoo, Tango, Skype, Fring...
I guess I will start a user contact/screen name thread soon for testing and keep'in in touch.
-CC
currently skype is no longer supporting video calling from android (fring used to offer skype video chat, but then skype got mad at them and pulled the plug after the Evo launched. well that is the short of it...) I have not gotten to test fring video chatting on my Evo, as no one else I know has a phone capable of video chat (requires a front facing camera), wait, scratch that, one of my friends just bought the Evo, but we have not tested it yet.
Yahoo Video Calling works on Adam
I can confirm that Yahoo messenger works with the Adam. I did experience some strange issue with video being rotated no matter what position I held the Adam or rotated the camera to.
Sipdroid apparently supports video chat, but have not been able to test it as I don't have a front facing camera device (yet).

troubles with screenshots

hi fellow note users.
I found a small bug in the os/touchwiz/s-pen setup.. I bought my note as it actually lets.me create content. And it works for really great so far. I screenshoot, crop and paste away. I took some screenshots of a video playing in Mobo player. Worked great. Was going to take a screenshot of a flash video playing on youtube. No go. Html5 video is a no go for me as well. I tried both im several browsers for youtube and the youtube app. I just get a black screenshot. That is in my book a BIG hole in the hole s-pen feature.
Is there a way to fix this?
Is it just on my note?
Should i tip off samsung about it if its not just on my device?
My guess is that it's more about rights management and licensing than a software bug
I think this is pretty standard behaviour with flash in any OS.
