Hello everybody.
Most of you will know Fring, the voip and recently video calling app on android
I installed the latest version but when it first starts there is a warning that due to hardware limitations video calling is disabled.
Makes sense i thought as our phone has no front facing camera but i installed it to my brother's Desire (no front facing camera too) and it works normally (via the back camera of course)..
Any ideas why this happens or any idea how to overpass it? If it works on desire it should work on hero too!
Cheers,
Lefsp

Its an hardware problem, the Hero doesn not have the capacity for Frings video call, but you can overpass it anyway..
I was using it for video calls on Skype a while ago with Wifi but it was laggy and it worked just for a few min (althought at that time I didn't have Froyo.... maybe now...)
Ok, here what I did... I f I recall correctly,after the warning, start Frings normally and just go to the setting, enable video calls manually, and is simple as that it should work! but use it only on wifi... I don't think will work with 3G..

Hi everybody,
Well i have got my htc HD2 for a while now , got sick of windows mobile so i went and put Cyanogenmod on it.
All worked well , but after a week or 2 people can't hear me when i call them , nor when they call me. I can hear them just fine.
Messaging also worked fine on android , no problems.
So i went to install windows phone 7 when it came out for the HD2 ,same story ; everything works fine except for the outgoing sound in a call.
I tried the latest version of the radio , and several others , tried to reinstall the OS mutltiple times .
I even checked my sim card in an other phone , in that phone , it does work fine.
What can i do ? it's really annoying not to be able to call properly.
thanks
does sound work when you record voice recorder? or video? could the mic hole be full of pocket goo?
This happens to me also. No sound until maybe 5 seconds into the call it starts to work again.

The mic works fine , it does record sound in video mode ,etc.
It only happens in a call.
small kick , any ideas ?
I tried to video calling my friend using using Fring & Tango, but the video of myself is showing upside down. Can anyone know how to fix this Thanks.
gtalk works perfectly here - perhaps the other apps are messed up..
Oh...U know what. The back camera works fine but only the front camera is messed up and back camera won't be too useful during video calling.
fix: flip the tablet around
That doesn't work either because the video of your friend will be turning upside down. =.="

The flip works, its a two way road there. Start flipping them!
Hi all,
I have installed the 'hacked' version of Skype which allows video calling on the SGSII. However the problems also apply to the official one on the market. The problems I am having are namely:
1) In call volume is too low - I can barely hear the person on the other end of the line. I am apparently fine. When I switch to video mode, I can barely hear them on the external speaker. I have set the call volume to max which improved things a touch (via the main SGSII settings). Is there any way round this?
2) Proximity sensor does not appear to work. This is generally ok as the screen timeout eventually kicks in, however when I then need to go back into the app I have to get past the lockscreen. Is there any way to get the proximity sensor to work and thus when I need to access the app during or post call, I don't have to go through the lockscreen every time?
Thanks in advance.
Farvesh.
*Bump*
Don't like to normally do this but it has been almost a week and no response....
Does anyone have these issues or is it just me?
Sorry, but it works fine here.
I am pretty deaf and I could hear it fine via speaker.
And the proximity sensor worked well.
(using 2.0.0.47 hacked skype on VR2.0)
I have camera issues sometime (turn upside down). But not always.
I reverted back to the official but didn't notice any of your issues.
Not 100% sure if Skype was the cause but was cached in the background and battery depleted a lot quicker til i froze it with Titanium...
Would it not of been better to post your concerns over at the forum that is running the hacked program?
You'll get better results from there.

As I said in the first post the same applies to the normal version in the market. I guess it is only me then - that being said I am using LR 1.5. Proximity sensor definitely does not work (screen timeout eventually turns the screen off).
Sound is definitely low as well - I compare it to my wife's 3GS and there is a very clear difference. Have the same problem with Tango as well... It's either the rom or a setting somewhere. Thanks for your responses anyway - appreciate it.

Like I said you'll get better feedback from the forums dealing with the hacked skype version.
Go in there and post your issues along with rom details mobile to mobile or mobile to PC skype chats..
theos0o may ask for your skype log file... Hope this helps

previously i was on stock rom and Video calling was working just fine but when i enabled camera api2 then the other person wasn't getting my video but i could see his fine.
Yesterday i flashed RR 6.0 in hope for that my video call will work fine from now but in any of custom roms video call is just not connecting.
Anyone else facing the same or is it just me who messed up with something that i am not aware of?
P.S- I am taking about Videocall by dialer not over any third party apps(on which video calls are working fine)
I am facing the exact same problem I guess before i enabled the camera2api without root method by using the tool the video calling was working fine but after enabling camera2api it shows a black screen to the person i called but i can see their video. I also thought it might be a stock rom bug then i switched to RR still the problem is there.
Mine video calls are getting connected but not showing video.
I think the problem is with camera2api if we disable it we can make video calls without any problem.
If you can try disabling it and give me the results it would be great or if i could do it i will inform the results.
issue in native video call please help
same problem is with me too
Any solution please let me know
