I bought my Tab 7.7 3 days ago. Its the 16GB 3G variant. Gtalk video just refuses to work. It will initiate the call and then just close the call window when the other party answers. The same thing occurs when I receive a Gtalk video chat request and answer the call. It usually shows a black screen where the other contact's video feed should be showing and occasionally shows my face and sometimes does not. But it always, always closes the chat window after I answer or the other person answers. I tried updating the firmware to the latest European version, LA3, but the problem persists.
I know that it's not a problem with my connection since my Galaxy Note is able to pull of Gtalk video chats without a hitch and Skype video works fine on both the Tab 7.7 and the Note.
I would really appreciate any feedback on your experiences with Gtalk video on the 7.7 since it is my second most frequently used app.
Anyone? Is Gtalk video chat working properly for all of you?

I just tried it from my tablet to my sister computer and it worked perfectly over wifi.
Unfortunatly i dont think it works over 3g though.
I think your "problem" is the other persons Internet speeds. I did just have a perfect conversation with my sister but whenever i try and call my mom in Malaysia it tends to be very hit and miss if it is going to work or not.

Worked fine for me - both Voice & Video chat. This was between 2 SG 7.7 6810 tabs over Wifi. One was LA2 & other KL5.

Use it daily for video chat with my girlfriend. Never had any problems.

Thanks for the responses guys!
I found out that maxing the image stabilization slider causes some problems with the camera drivers and may cause the Gtalk app to hang sporadically. It also results in a wonky picture. Turning the stabilization slider to minimum seems to have improved the stability of the Gtalk app and I tested it in a Gtalk video chat between the tab and a laptop over WiFi yesterday and found it to be working fine. Still having audio issues with my gf, so it's possible that her connection or my 3G data plan is the culprit. The funny thing is that I havent had the same issues over 3G with my Galaxy Note.

Yesterday, does seem to have a problem today. I had an issue with a facebook account not working, after deleting that everything was fine again.
As it does not work right now, no chance to try the Skype Voice service!
Sype chat working again. Was only a short problem.
But: I cannot do voice calling, screen is black....
the official skype app is only for verizon. it actually uses your phone service and your minutes for voice calls. its really horrible. fringe used to be able to work with skype and even allowed video chat with the front facing camera. and i have to side with fringe in that debate. maybe in the future skype will realize its best to sorta open up to other carriers.
i think skype is losing his own customer here. i have to tell all my friend switch to fring now after I got a streak...
Fully agree- I don't understand why Skype does not offer a native client..... Looking at the growth figures of Android, this looks like a big mistake to me. Anybody knows the background?

SEarch for skype android beta on google. There is a Skype Lite for Android, whether it'll work on your phone is an other matter!
as we all know, the AT&T Atrix has problem with most VOIP softare. Just wondering if the Canadian Bell version is also experiencing the same problem? If not, that means AT&T is doing more than just turning off HSUPA...
I bought a Bell Atrix two days ago and I am DEFINITELY having issue with Skype either thru. WiFi or 3G connection. I am unable to make clear calls and often encountered LOUD STATIC sound on the earpiece.
Please assist...

No can't do at this moment. Need to wait for Motorola to sort this VOIP issue.

Well, I really do hope Motorola will address this issue...
IM+ Talk Skype Calling
Just an update to using the newly purchased IM+ Talk, a web-based Skype calling service. Well, it took me a whopping two-hour to figure out how to make calls and it was super frustrating...I subsequently had to purchase another Skype subscription (unlimited world, in addition to my original unlimited calls to Hong Kong plan) because of the call-back feature IM+ Talk uses.
So how it works is that you enter the CALL BACK number of the device you are calling on, enter the number you want to call, press the CALL button, and then your device will ring. Answer the call and you will then hear your number connecting. I don't know how to clearly explain it but it works on my Atrix thru. 3G connection

im using an att atrix on Fido in canada and i can use skype just fine. i think its att network that is blocking this somehow not the atrix itself or maybe the combination of the two. so if a bell atrix allows voip on bell network it might still not work on att network.
I am using a Bell Atrix on Rogers and am having a hard time using the Skype for Android to work properly. I previously used Skype on my iPhone 4 (also on Rogers) and it worked like a charm...
I am surprised that it's working for you on Fido. There is a big thread from the Motorola support forum that discusses about this issue.
BELL Atrix ain't working on Fido. none of VOIP apps is, tried Tango, Skype from Market, Skype hacked for 3G, SIPDroid Csip, Fring........
Sux....
sorry I made a mistake. it doesn't work for me the sound is horrible. I only install and made a call and assume it was working.
If the problem with Skype is sound quality it may be that Skype needs updating to support the phone properly. In my experience with Galaxy S the sound quality was horrendous for the first while (that Skype was even functional) until updates sorted things out. Actually it took a while to even be able to login, when it could first be installed it wouldn't accept any login info. Picky program.
Atrix, Skype, IM+, ClickTalk, Tango vs Bad Audio
I've the same problem as all you and i've try the following apps like Skype, Skype(3G), IM+, ClickTalk, Tango and Yahoo....
All exept the Yahoo is work badly with the audio, it cutting off and here i'm talking about using WIFI connection ... with the 3G forget about-it.
Only Yahoo look to get a good result and not mentionning that only the Qvix, Yahoo and Tango as the Video working correctly
As winner the Yahoo Video and Audio work over WIFI.
I'm using also the SMSSpeak, Call Annoncer and EmailSpeak, the playback are for unknown reason playing back too fast. To fix Reboot the phone, i think the audio driver as something to do here too.
I've read also for our Bell Canadian friend that the Firmware is out of date... like far away ... AT&T as the patch to fix this problem of audio in the next release 1.57 and BELL CACA is still at the Beta 0.83 no fix planned!
After chatting with a tech at Motorola we can't dream for a new version until the new kernel will be availlable to get the Android 2.3 (What a great one i was using this on a real google G1 this is a real charm) ... So since we known that BELL, ATT and Motorola are not reading our note, it's useless to try the get them to move ... exept to get everyone who as a Atrix to Call/Email/Fax Motorola,Bell,ATT,Fido ....
and btw Moto is coming with a new phone... they act like this is just junk hardware like a batterie. Change phone to fix.
I've searched everywhere for a solution to this, tried both the official Skype app and the modded one that supposedly allows more devices to video call and I just can't seem to get it working.
I have an i9023, and whenever I start a video call, I'll see myself for a few seconds and then it'll just go back to voice calls.
A lot of people seem to have this issue, is there any kind of workaround or solution that I haven't found yet? I'm using WiFi so its not a carrier issue.
Thanks in advance.
Using 9023 with stock ICS. Tried skype video a few times and it's working fine.

Hi all,
I am about to buy Tab2 7", just wanted to confirm how is the voice feature of the tab, havent seen any review on the same. Can we make GSM calls in the tab also is there any other tab that has the same feature.
Regards

The P3100 version can make calls, send and receive sms just like normal phones.
The P3113 is a wifi only so you can use it to send txt and make calls as long as you're connected to wifi.

I have just unboxed mine and so far the first phone call was just normal,good sound quiality,so problems at all. I purchased the P3100 and as of now I am very,very happy with it,I think I am going to like a lot.
Something that I noticed with Gtalk is that I can make videocalls ,but when another Google user calls me I am not receiving the incoming call,so I can call but I can't receive. I am sure this is just a little issue that will be fixed or that I will be able to fix.
And like I said so far I am very happy with it.
-----UPDATE-----
Ok,so after playing with this toy I can see that the wifi signal is very weak,once I turn off or restart the device it does not reconnect to wifi,so I have to switch off the wifi feature and turn it back on.
Anybody has found a tweak or some sort of settings to improve that.

I face this issue (WiFi) only after updating to ICS 4.0.4
Great tablet worth every penny I have p3100 and it works great. some little problems (doesnt matter for me)
1. No usb charging
2. Overheating on 3G
3. Little bit less responsive touch
What do you do for the wifi signal? Samsung seems to be aware,but they are not of much help.
Hello All,
This is my first time to XDA and im hoping i am able to find a solution to a very frustrating problem!
I just recently bought a LG G2 (LG-D802) in the UAE. It is running the android 4.2.2
Now, everything on the phone works absolutely perfect, except, VIDEO CALLING through softwares! I tried connecting via skype - messaging works fine, however, when i try establishing a video call - the app either restarts, i get a message saying that call failed, or i get a notification showing that the person i was calling, is calling me which is NOT TRUE.
There is not problem with the app as i have tested this on the S4 to the Iphone 5 and works perfectly well. S4 to S4 too.
Secondly, i am unable to establish video calling on hangours as well
Everytime i try to connect - its connection timed out, please check your network.
I have tried this over wifi and 4G.
The phone is a beast but its sad that this does not work.
Anyone else facing the same problem? Solutions?
Thanks for all the help!
