Hello everyone! I am using Huawei P8. After I updated Messenger app to its latest version I have serious problems. The camera in the app works really bad. It's laggy with awful quality of the picture. In the previous version I didnt have this problen. I reinstalled it twice but the problem remained. Ill be very thankful if you know how I can fix it. Thank you!
Did it work well in earlier versions? If so uninstall the messenger you currently have, download an earlier version (Google it, I can't post links sadly), then install it.
It worked well but is there a way to fix the new version coz i wont be able to use it functions..

messenger was never optimized for p8´s camera, for me it always took way worse photos than original camera app, so when i wanted to send photo via messenger, i took it with camera and then share it via messenger, image is much sharper with better lighting , otherwise its up to facebook to fix it and i can take some time, if ever (and i doubt)...
You can download old version of APKs at apkmirror (dot) com. I personally use this site and trust this site a lot when downloading old versions of apps (like ES File or QuickPic) and also for getting APKs for my dad's Blackberry and on my old G3 without Gapps.

I know there have been a few threads on video chat and I apologize for making a new one; however I thought my post may get lost if I tried to post in older threads. Below are the APKs for both yahoo messenger and the video add on. I've tested this on my 101 and it works well. I did find out that if you have not updated to the latest firmware it does not work well. Enjoy!

Video Add On

If I find that an update is needed I will add the links as needed.
Does not work for me. Neither these files nor the files from the market. Video /Audio addon crashes always on the A 70.
Are u on the new firmware?

2.0.71 of course. Driver seemed to suck all CPU power...
Seems to work just fine, but is one heavy app. Between the chat and the plugin it is over 20mbs of space. Not sure how it affects battery life...
You can also download these from the market if you have it installed. I tested this today and it is the best so far. Fring and Tango still have a lot of bugs. The new Skype with Video is going to be Verizon only.. at least for this year. There is one more that just came out that might be better than Yahoo and that is ooVoo. It is in beta, but you can download it now from the market. I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds promising.
So if you have Archos.. best video chat so far I think is Yahoo and ooVoo.
Hi friends

I personally preferr FriendCaster For Facebook.
It have a Default interface, Tablet Interface, widgets and it keeps getting updated all the time
hi krage...
also this app is really nice...
many thanks

Seesmic is the best! And it integrates Twitter too!
I use Friend Me as well, but I installed FB 1.6 without issue.
Download the APK from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142676
Email to your Gmail account. Open your Gmail app on your tab and you'll be presented with the option to install it from the App. No root necessary.
damn i was using friend caster and didnt really like the UI but i took bbeelzebub's advice and tried friend me and i prefer it much better than friend caster. thanks!
I was also using friendme and noticed that if you have friends that block 3rd party apps, you will not get thier status updates in your feed. This is not the case with the official FB (1.6) app
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 I9505 to replace my S3 that is near destroyed.
So everything goes well until much recently when I updated it to the latest firmware i can get 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNJ5
The Messaging app crashes when I open the settings to edit some stuff.
It did not happen with the previous firmware and I dont know why.
I tried a couple solutions like clear data and cahce but no results.
Anyone please kindly help me by giving some solutions.
Better yet you guys can give me the apk file for the stock messaging app from the system dump that does not crash when opening the settings.
Thanks.
Or you can use a different messaging app.
I use hello at the moment. It's very simple and clean. Not much customization.
Or, another favorite of mine, YAATA. It's currently still in beta. But it works with no problems and has lots of customization. Also offers chatheads options (like facebook messenger)
Hi everyone,
Has anyone of you succeeded to get Skype properly working on Nougat, with the stock ROM?
So far I managed to install it, either via the AptoideTV application (itself downloaded via the browser in EZ file explorer) or by downloading the APK file. The version from Aptoide TV is functional but doesn't show any video call button, only voice call, in both directions (in and out calls).
It can however access a webcam to take a new picture (I've installed Open Camera for that purpose).
I'll keep you updated if I have any update on that purpose.
Go to settings > app , look for Skype app, click on it and post the whole package name.
I don't have stock Nougat but full Android and Skype work well, I also use the following app to route calls and video calls audio output to HDMI port. Is a must have:

Version 6.15.0.1162 / com.skype.raider
Similar situation with Version 7.32.99.490 / com.skype.polaris and 7.24.0.255 / com.skype.raider
This issue with Stock is probably due to the fact that it uses the Leanback verison of the App, and thus deactivite the camera-related features.

I'm also having some issues with Skype on Nougat full Android (ROM by @zulu99 on http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1646 ), which version of Skype are you using?

Up.
Is Skype really fully functional in your case on Full Android? If so, could you share your setup?
Thanks

I search recently for a working Video call App on my shield. After the Nougat / android 7 update, I try Skype Lite and WhatsApp.
The current beta of WhatsApp was working great. But the video crashed after a period of time.
In the Skype Lite apk, I was able to upload Feedback to Microsoft. If more people would do this ms could think about to be the first, full and stable video messenger for the living room.
Just sideload the newest apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/...ite-1-0-0-27544-release-android-apk-download/ and tab on the Feedback area.

I don't have experience with Skype Lite, but Microsoft voluntary stopped to support Skype on (smart) TV last year.
Thus, they will not be first, they were already there, and alternatives exist.

Did you think they mean not just only smart TVs. In the last year Android TV was not really on the market. Perhaps they mean just smart TVs with own build os's like Samsung and All the other did before they use Android. Create an Android OS App is much easyer than do it for many many different os's from the different TV companys.
Can you tell me the working alternatives? I try many different Video call messengers without success.

My alternative was to move to Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM from @zulu99, check this post for more details on the comparison.
This ROM is not available on XDA anymore, but Google will help you find your way.
I'm now using a full Android Nougat ROM, from @zulu99 too, but Skype video calls aren't working (yet) and I cannot downgrade to Marshmallow. Thus, for the moment, if Skype is a must I'd recommend to use the Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM (and to check my ROMs comparison post). Also, note that Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM can only be installed on 2015 models, not on 2017 ones!
I hope that help.

Did you try Skype-lite: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/skype-lite/
Greetings by Idijt
Hello,
Skype-Lite wasn't working.
I moved back to Marshmallow StockRestyle, where Skype 6.15 was working, but now it's also unsupported (Skype now requires a Windows account).
Thus, my updated question: has anyone been successful with the new version of Skype release this summer (version 8.xx)?
I've just upgraded my Chinese Axon 7 to MiFavore5.0. And it has some bugs associating with google apps especially google play games, it doesn't sync and it is stuck on this page(see screenshot) . Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues.(I have reset factory both before and after the update, and I have also enabled auto run for all google apps in MiAssitant as I always do)
These are the screenshots.

Update to new Google apps from APKMirror
I Updated google play games from apk mirror, still doesn't work
This update(MiFavor5.0) was suppose to be more optimized with google apps but it is more messed up now. Damn it!
not higher more better, sometimes a low version can run fine

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

I've already reset factory twice and installed them again , the issue still resists. This update according to its release note was supposed to be more and better optimize with google apps but it just messed the hell out of them
