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. =.="

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!

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 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

Hey,
I've been messing about with my phone today and have been trying out some of its features, but I can't seem to get Smart Pause to work.
This is the steps I've been following:
Ticking Smart Pause option in settings
Going to gallery
Tapping on a video then selecting Video to view it
Stare at screen
Turn head
Still playing!!
I can get the other eye features to work, but not this? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks.
Me too. I was trying to show it off.... failed miserably LOL. But that's what I get for trusting stock software without testing it first.
It is a gimmick. It failed terribly for me as well.

Me also, i can use every single feature perfectly but smart pause not even once i could use it! And yes everything is turned on, smart pause won't work with the phone vertically or landscape mode :/
I don't have the device but I was playing with one at the AT&T store yesterday, I filmed a quick video on it and played it back. I tested the smart pause feature about 6 times throughout the video and it worked every time. Not sure if the store phones are set up any differently.
You have to be in a well lit location for it to actually work.

Just tried it again and worked like a charm... Funny thing is this would be useful for YouTube videos, your watching a video and then someone talks to you, the video auto pauses and resumes when you look at the display again.

After some testing i got to the conclusion that it onky works in places with very good lighting!

Did you rooted your phones?

Worked fine with Smart Stay off. Was only in my kitchen--
Disable smart stay and enable smart pause ! this will work like a charm.
will not work with both features enabled! Hope Samsung will fix this soon

Hi!
So everytime I try to record a video it doesn't stop to focus. When I hold it still and it did focus it stays like that. But as soon as I move the phone everything starts to focus new and you can see that later too when you watch the video again. I tried everything and I'm not able to record a good video without the phone focussing alot of times. When I take a picture it works perfectly fine so I really don't know what's the problem. Thank you very much for your help!
I have just the same problem. Any ideas?
I somehow cannot use my mic during calls even on Messenger. They cannot hear me. But I can record on a recorder whether it is Video or just Audio.
Anyone knows how to troubleshoot?
Thanks

I would suggest you to downgrade to android 9! Otherwise you can try to change settings in Google assistant and turn on microphone...
i installed android 10 beta on ze620kl but i can't unlock bootloader with application

Same here. I will downgrade as soon as possible.
Also, camera integration doesn't work well with some apps, some settings crash and gesture navegation of AOSP it's not good as ZenUI.
In the bright side, LEVEL_3 Cam2API is finally avaliable in this version and GCam is working much better.

I searched through web and found some people saying you can make it work by turning speakers on and then off, after the beginning of the call.
Others said it works by putting headphones and taking them off, after the call starts too.
Didn't tested anyone, but hope it works!
