Video chat app crashes on video chat 😢 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am writing this in reference to the problem I am having with video chat apps on the N7 grouper. Whenever I try to start a video chat session the tablet either re starts the app or crashes entirely. Has any body seen this? Is there a fix? I have been on 3 separate Roms, Harmony 4.4 build, smoothrom 4.3 build, and cm 11.
All of the Roms have had this problem. I am currently on Harmony 4.4 build running m-kernel, with no mods. I did a complete wipe and install of the ROM this past weekend to see if that was the issue but still same results. The apps I use are we chat and tango. We chat restarts, tango will start the session than crash the tablet. Another note, wechat and Facebook will allow me to send pictures, so that is where it baffles me, they can use the camera for a picture but mess up on a video.
Thanks in advance for any help here, I use the video chat almost daily too chat with my daughter, it stinks to not be able to chat with her. Thanks again!!!

Just a bump. It has been a couple days and this question has been pushed way down the thread now.
I am still fighting the same issue, I did a data and cache wipe last night and that did not help either.
Thanks in advance.

Also, Skype video calls, no one can hear me unless I plug some headphones in or don't use video.

ok. i've bought a new camera and replaced it and still same problem. So it's definitely NOT a hardware problem. going to try to go back to stock rom to see if that fixes it.
Went back to Stock, and still same issue. front camera just not working. This sucks..gonna try returning it to see if warranty still available

it's a known issue with Samsung devices
go to google support site and search it (i'm a new user so i can't post links)
open hangouts and go to the last issue
Hangouts crash on some Samsung devices
click on report, as many reports possible maybe google will take time to address this issue.

[Q] Stable version of Flash

Hello guys I am looking for stable version of Flash for my nexus 4 running 4.2. Is there a stable version that will work with out flickering black screen when I use Firefox. Do I have to root my phone to get it
Any help would be great.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Im using this.... got no problems...
Currently watching the West Ham Chelsea game
Hmm. I downloaded and installed that on my first N4 and it worked flawlessly; I had no problems watching videos on cnn.com with Firefox. However, since then I have replaced that N4 with another -- the camera LED was non-functional on the first one -- and also received the update for 4.2.1. Now when I play cnn.com videos, I get sound but no video. I'm not sure what's responsible for that change -- cnn.com, the hardware, or the new version of Android. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm trying to install flash on 4.2.1. I can't get it to install. Maybe Google blocked it with some changes?

Right. CNN is the only site I visit regularly that uses Flash, but I tracked down another site and tried it and it worked. The funny thing is that CNN worked for me last week, and it was a bit too coincidental that it worked on my first N4 but not on my second for me to think it was something that CNN changed on their site. I guess maybe it was, though. Thanks for the reply.

App require Flash Player and S4 not compatible?

Is there any way to use apps like Justin.tv in Galaxy s4?
Won't let me play the tv channel cuz the flash player doesn't work for S4 devices
Plz help!!

You must install flash player then use a browser with it enabled. Dolphin is okay but fire fox is more stable when it comes to flash.
You can find the adobe flash player apk in themes and apps

Boat Browser also supports flash
I have yet to find a browser besides Boat that works. And many sites require flash 11.5 or higher. Its just a bust. Not sure what's up with the mobile world these days.

Justin.tv doesn't have the android app out yet- at least according to their site.
BUT, justin.tv does in fact work from firefox vers 24 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox) with flash 11.1.115.81 (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk).
I have mine set up that I click to activate the plug in...I press it, wait a few seconds then the video loads. You need to kill firefox if it's running in the background when you install flash. After you restart firefox, you should be golden.

Well, in the nicest way possible- I'm not gonna d/l the one you posted and install it...(and I won't ask anything about the version or if it's legitimate or not). But I can say I'll install the one from the market I found by looking up the app by the filename of what you posted in the app store there's a free version for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bantamstudio.streamiefree&hl=en and it does seem to have some playback issues.
By further looking at some of the user comments of that app, I would think that it's a general issue occurring with it and you may want to either spring for the paid version (for real) or contact the developer of the app. It would seem to be that they know best what's occurring with it and can make the adjustments for things to work as expected. Also, by the comments on the reviews, it sounds like the developer broke something when they did their last update.
EDIT: Pretty much says it all in the description of the app in the play store, buddy:
"FLASH IS REQUIRED. Streamie will help you install flash if you don't have it already.
Please rate Streamie 4 or 5 stars if you feel we deserve it. If not, please contact us and tell us how we can do better.
If you have any bugs please contact us directly so that we can quickly support you.
Currently only Justin.tv and Twitch.tv streams are available. We are working hard to add other video services to Streamie.
KNOWN ISSUES:
* The flash player will stop playing if you touch the playing video. This is a problem with the player that Justin.tv provides. We are working on a solution to this.
* Sometimes Justin.tv or Twitch.tv will take a long time to respond to a request. Try refreshing.
* If you have an ad blocker on your phone, it can take a long time to load the stream. This is because the ad request needs to time out."

Yeah, that's what everyone else told them too...and the links were already provided....it's not necessarily flash that's the issue, as indicated my previous post and by the OP uploading the apk they're using... So, that's a pretty good indicator it has to do with the app they're using- that - coupled with the information on the app in the playstore reviews/comments and known issues in the app description - as also indicated in my previous post...oh and it's also outlined how the installer for flash you mention (that was mentioned earlier in this thread) ends up also working in firefox as indicated in my post prior to my last one as well...so I think that's a fairly good indicator that flash or installing flash isn't the crux of the problem...
call me silly, but if I could take the liberty to take a wild guess here, I think it's the app....okay maybe not such a wild guess, but it's the streaming app they're using- as indicated in my previous post...

Wonder if it could be because of the os version too - 4.2.2 on the S4. I think the S3 & note are still on 4.2.1.
I know it was like that with the Crackle app & honeycomb on some devices there was issue playing for a bit.
Anyhow, glad folks got something figured out and/or alternatives.

Nexus Root Toolkit .tgz v .zip

Hi guys i have spent hours scouring the web on how to flash nexus 4 with [ROM][5.0.2][MAKO OFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix LP v5.3.4 [10/02/15] and I cant seem to be able to do it in a pure way if you know what I mean. Whenever I try to select the factory image for it manually the one I downloaded it is not the right format. My problem is that no one makes their roms in tgz so I cant use the software to flash it.
Edit: If anyone would be kind enough to come on skype with me or teamviewer to walk me through it I would really appreciate it im desperate
Hey I can help you.. Please give the link of the ROM thread and the issue you are facing.. Please be elaborate

Hi I have managed to do it in the end I commend you for responding, but I am facing new issue, I have installed this evil app and I dont know if I need to flash it again or not
Its called the wifikill 2.2 or something like that I cant post the link for the report but I have uploaded it ill pm you the details.
I have decided to run some checks after I realised that the app is not functional, those blogs on google are clever I am hoping im not part of anyone's botnet and also I adblock crashes and on WOMIC my voice keeps appearing static after 5 minutes of chatting so something really is up
