[Q] Video Calling - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello guyes, i was searching all over the internet to find an app for my htc desire to enable video-calling. i found many apps but they are all skype similar, they need internet connection. is there any app or mod that can enable simple video calling through 3g network (not data plan)? i have greek carrier with free minutes of calling and video-calling. thnx in advance

You do know that the Desire does not have the front-facing camera for video calling, right?
Would video calling work without the front camera needed for it? Do you intend to use the 5MP camera on the Desire for a video call and keep switching the phone to see your partner?!

yes i am aware it has only one 5mp cam, i can solve this issue simply with a mirror. i used to have sony erricsson k800 and used videocalling a lot thats. i am very pleased with my htc desire but im a bit dissapointed from this asspect with android phones not supporting video call. but i suppose someone can develop an app or mod to enable videocall

Two options
Qik and Tango both claim to do video calls on 3G. I haven't tried either but if you do post a reply with whatever works...

i tried tango, it requires data plan if on 3g which means internet connection, i will try qik and post a reply

qik is the same thing

Anyone elses youtube not working on the TP2

It will load the photo pic/vid in browsing for vids and searching but when you go take watch it just gives you the continuous loading (spin wheel) but no percent loading
Hi,
Just tried this for you and its working fine on mine
Jas
Are you on T-Mobile? Have you disabled HTTP proxy? I ran the youtube app on my Hermes a few months ago, and I seem to recall it would only work if you bypassed T-Mobiles proxy.
Thats a very good point, thats caused me problems in the past with exchange and Slingplayer etc.
YouTube not working
Hi Guys,
I can't get youtube to work either, I have already disabled the proxy as that screwed up my exchange connection but I'm not even getting a list of videos, it just says that there is no connection available at this time - I am connected via GPRS.
I'll try it again tonight when connected through HSDPA and also via WIFI to see if T-Mobile is blocking me or it's just crap.
Youtube
Has anyone tried m.youtube.com?
it connects through your streaming media program, it works perfectly that way.
no issues wid youtube here! i will say that over GPRS it will not load as connection will time out! over HSPDA it works and with WIFI also. just palyed a 10 min video over HSPDA and didn't even stop to buffer once!
Yes tried to disable proxy but they were already disabled. On at&t running edge and wifi no worky Besides this issue awesome phone

No issues with YouTube (T-Mobile Germany)

I am having the same problem with a TP2 on the ATT network. What I have noticed is that Youtube will work using the wi-fi but as soon as I use it on the EDGE network it renders the wi-fi inoperable. I can still view videos over the EDGE network but I can no longer view through the wi-fi connection. I have tried a soft reset but the only way it will work again is through a hard reset. I have also experienced it not working on both wi-fi and EDGE using a different ROM. I am currently using the Energy ROM 20090917 Standard and it was working fine over the Wi-Fi until I tried to view a video through the EDGE network.
The ROM I found that would work on both Wi-Fi and EDGE is the UDK TiRv1.1_0409, however the MMS didn't work because of Manila 2.5 so I switched to the above ROM with Manila 2.1.
Is there a way to clear the Youtube cache or reset its settings?
no issues here, you tube works flawlessly
Has anyone noticed certain vidoes that are inaccessible via Mobile? For example, I can't access Lonely Island's "I'm on a boat" video via youtube mobile on my tp2 but I have no problem seeing other more non-popular clips.
my youtube wont work
i keep getting a microsoft error message
anyone have any idea how 2 fix that

[Q] internet calling (SIP) Quality for Gingerbread Desire HD?

I got a Telus Desire HD running CyanogenMod 7 Rom (final version).
I heard some people having sound quality problems during calls, however it's supposed to have been fixed with this rom (my calls sound good).
My internet calling sounds pretty mediocre though - (SIP).
I'm using voip.ms I do get better call quality on my Nokia n95 native SIP client.
I'm wondering if there's an issue with SIP call quality on the desire HD with modded roms? Perhaps the old issue that was causing GSm call quality wasn't fixed for SIP calls?
Any input is appreciated.

[Q] How is your quality when you call from skype when it connected to cell unternet

So i tried to make a several calls from my skype when I was connected to the cellular internet and the quality was very poor
I wanted to know is it my provider disease or it is something global?
I think it is your provider.
Personally I use skype only when I'm connected to Wifi and the quality is very good.
On my 3G data connection, VOIP is not allowed.
@++
On WiFi i have a grate quality but the problem is with the 3G i have a delay and sometimes the other side cant hear me
Depends what speed you are on.
You need at least 3.5g for it to work well.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
You should have least 5 MB synchronous for it to work good..
IP telephone need a lot of bandwidth in both directions
My provider is horrible, so its not very good, however, for some reason viper works better for me

[Q] Video calls

Is there a way to make a normal carrier video call (not one using 3G data or WiFi) ? A friend of mine has the option with his GS1...
If he's making a video call, he's definitely using 3G data.
The only thing I can think might be happening is that his carrier doesn't count the data that's used for carrier video calls and charges him some other way?

nope, his 3g data connection is turned off. The thing is that he has the simple option to make a voice OR video call without using 3rd party application...here the carrier based video calls are free(costs the same as a regular voice call) but seems like the Gnex doeant have such option.

AOSP does not support video calling through carrier, and it will never do. Samsung have made this available on their own handsets. The reason...probably because the US doesn't support it, or that Google wants people to use Google voice instead?

[Q] Video Call issues over 3g but not over wifi or tethering to my laptop

Good morning XDA
I am a n00b to posting on here, apologies I have tried a search on Google and Xda.
My problem is that I cannot make any form of VOIP call over my 3g/H+ network be it Skype, G+ or other video/voice chat client.
However interestingly I can tether my 3g to my laptop and it works.
My video chats on my phone work when using a wifi - so i know there is no issue with the phones ability. (Correct me if i am wrong)
I am using Vodafone UK. on a contract.
The other interesting thing is that it worked for a few days when I first got the phone. But stopped after a week.
Any Ideas how to get it to work?
I am rooted.
Thanks!
