[Q] Lumia 950XL - NO Video on Skype? - Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL

Help plz!
The Skype app doesn't start the video at all. The receiver sees a blank screen! On the latest build and latest Skype App!
Both the cameras are working fine independently.
But on Skype, it just won't work.
Here's what I have done so far to make it work:
1. Check the App permissions
2. (Within Skype app) Default Camera under Audio/Video settings
3. Camera Settings - Check which app will use this service
Am I missing something?
Thanks a ton!

Yahoo Messenger with Video Chat

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.

[Q] call recording

Hello,
I am moving from MI, so i have some question:
1. Which call recording app is working perfectly with our phone as i have tried few but they failed.
2. Up/down link data notification in status bar.?
1. I've tried most of the apps from play store but no luck. I've heard BoldBeast recorder works but haven't tried that.
2. No way to get that in stock ROM as far as I know. You could try GravityBox (if you're rooted and have Xposed installed)
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using Tapatalk
1. Not possible without root. Boldbeast will work after root.
2. Use Internet Speed Meter Pro. Search in google for apk
Well I use automatic call recorder which works perfectly fine for me....only problem is the voice of the connected person is very low and our voice is recorded through out microphone.
Though i haven't experimented other option in the app.
Let me know your views if you get successfully in getting the recording from the line with this or any other app.
With root the best in my opinion is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643

Functional Skype on Nougat Stock ROM?

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)?

Redmi Note 7 - Microphone issues (PIE 10 rom)

Hello to everyone!
After installing the latest available official version of PIE 10 rom on Redmi note 7 i discovered that in messaging application s such as Telegram, Facebook messenger, Viber - main microphone is not working. Person cannot hear me but in normal calls everything is working fine.
On 4PDA was found a temporary solution which is useful but it doesn't help me to fix the issue.
Workaround is - turn off the access to microphone for Google application and reboot device.
Maybe anyone already facing the same issue and know another solution how to fix microphone issue ?
Thanks!
I got the same problem with the headphones mic but when i talk without headphones it works fine , but if turning off access to Google application fix it then good untill the next update
It is a beta ROM so expect more bugs in the future..
Solution founded.
I tried to play with Google application setting but before changing settings I remove (disable) application from Google play store, clean cache, reboot. Install application with last updates, turn on Google assistant and voice matching. (Google app - Settings - Google assistant - Assistant - My device (on the bottom of screen), Voice match - on.

Question ALTERNATE DAILER FOR NOTHING PHONE 1

I am sick of google dialer call recording feature.
1- announcement of call recording.
2- unable to record all call.(you have to specify contacts manually)
please help--
1- uninstall google dialer.
2- somehow import other OEM dialer like SAMSUNG , ONEPLUS , OPPO , VIVO , REALME .
any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I want a better dialer in case stops the loud, high-pitched beep it plays if you get a notification while in a call. Whoever came up with that "feature" deserves to be taken out back
Remove Call Recording Announcement from Google Dialer
Install the TTSLexx App (Play Store Link)
Open Settings and search for "Text-to-speech output"
Change the Preferred engine to the newly installed app (TTSLexx)
Long press on Google Dialer app icon and clear app data.
Video Tutorial (YouTube Link)
Note: The first time recording call after this process, there's a chance that you will have the announcement. So, test it by calling to customer care or someone you know.

If you are rooted, just install Magisk module Pixelify: https://github.com/Kingsman44/Pixelify
It at least solves one of your issues.
Changelog from v1.9
Removed intro voice for call recording for more devices
If you want to solve both issues, just install SKVALEX Call recorder. Root and Magisk is also required. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/callrecorder-skvalex
Readme is not updated but it works with A12 without any issue.
Try the following;
True Phone Dialer & Contacts - Apps on Google Play
Powerful T9 phone and contact manager with dual SIM support and call recorder
