Skype video update - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious if the new skype update with video calling would work if we changed the string to one of the supported phones? Anyone try this yet?

I just updated, signed in and tried to do a video chat both ways....tried calling someone and had someone call me and NOTHING....still same old thing for us! The UI looks a little bit better then their old one but I'm sure this will be a matter of time before someone disables the device check on this and cracks this sucker wide open for everyone!!

That's what I am hoping for...if we can fool the app into thinking we have a supported phone it could work...

I tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 and is a step in the right direction for us because I'm able to receive video calls as well as make them BUT the cameras don't seem to work because I can't see anyone and they can't see me...............NOW I know you're thinking that this is useless but before the video chat feature wouldn't even show up in the regular app so all we have to do is figure out this camera issue and we got ourselves video chat!!!...haha

[Q] Hulu Application

I don't know if anyone is working on that Hulu app but it kinda really sucks that it can't zoom automatically. So I made a Hulu application but with zoom functionality and a sort of lights out functionality.
any suggestions as to other things I can add to it?
EDIT: It is not finished, but some asked to see it so you can install it and try it out. It has some bugs atm but if you want to see where I am kind of going with it push it to your phone. Also note that this has the same limitations as the other Hulu application you need to have that custom edited flash install.
Start a video, then press the menu button and hit the Zoom button.
You'll probably notice that the background looks strange I was in the process of restyling it.
NOTE You need the modified flash file, you can get it from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752582

Contains a modified flash file. So uninstall your flash, and then install that one.
problem i'm getting with hulu and other flash stuff is the sound is slowed way down
There's a fix for that. Look in themes and apps for stagefright fix. I let it play like that to scare the **** out of my son with my demon phone lol.

This app does not seem to work as good as the other one floating around. The video seems to stutter and stop a lot and I get the "the video is not optimized for mobile" which I dont get any of that on the other version. Also the video, when zoomed to fit the screen, is jerky where with the other app, its is 100% smooth.... Also at one point, the video pixelated and then the program shut off and i was back at the sense screen.....
as far as Zoom, on the other APP, I just use the pinch zoom and get it to fit the EVO screen as best I can...

CM 6 users

I have some questions for all the cm 6 users out there. I tried this a while back and could not get the sprint visual voicemail to work and the camera seemed like it wasn't full resolution. I've done some searching but couldn't find a good answer to either of these so I need some help from all the users. All I want is visual voicemail and the camera to work properly. Thanks in advance.

Just get the Sprint Voicemail apk and the Camera works just fine. Just cuz it doesn't fill the screen doesn't mean its not full resolution. The pics are 8mp if you set it to that setting.
Yeah I would notice the camera didn't necessarily appear to be full res but final pictures looked just as good. As far as VM, I used GVoice so I'm not enitirely sure there.

What kind of battery life is everybody getting?
How do I set GV in my phone as the primary VM. My phone says that Sprint doesn't support it. Any tips?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
As noted the sprint_vvm.apk needs to be found and installed.
The camera app in CM6 doesn't have the widescreen resolution.
Early on I bought Camera360 to see if the photos would come out better. I'm using that now and it supports the widescreen resolution. Has some other nice features like IS.
your 'issues' are old and have been resolved.
battery life depends on how you use your device.
how you device is configured/setup
what kernel you are using
i have run cm6 with my standard usage for over 28hrs w/ the snap kernel. some can't make 14hrs. /shrug same issue as with the Sense ROMs.
kernels available to CM6 are
snap

Yea I had the same issue! So I uninstalled the youtube app then downloaded a older version I found here. The current version on the Market seems to be broken! Works great now. Here is the link!

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.
I just use the browser and maximize.

Record Calls

Hello,
Got a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx BR xt910, rooted.
Firmware: GAS_LA_SPYDERICSMAXRETBRLA_P002 version 4.0.4.
I need to record calls simply and with good quality. Already tested dozens of applications, but the most we got was record on handsfree the microphone, which is not acceptable for quality and because it is not always feasible chat by handsfree.
Does anyone have a solution? Do you know if this is hardware limitation? Or only limitation is the software version of Motorola?
I appreciate the attention and help.
Best Regards,
Marcio.
I believe you need to post here for your XT910 things ?
Because this is a XT905 and XT907 area which are different phones.
You share the same insides with a NON Maxx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1360
any idea of an app that would do this? I used to use RECOROID on my droid incredible back in the day, dunno if thats still around or compatible with my M
RECOROID is still around but i think it didn't pass the regulations.
Remember it is illegal to record ppl with out knowing. Or something like that.
That might be the reason it is not found easily in the app store if at all.
So your best bet is look into a modified RECOROID apk version that has that option back unlock for ICS or JB.
Or other custom apk that don't come through the app store ?
Germanese,
In many states like Arizona, it is legal, and admissible in many courts to record a phone conversation. If you are party to the conversation, totally legal.

That's true, but remember i said something like that.
It may be and not here and there. Hence probably the reason of it not being in the app store.
Because it is legal in some states and not in others. So they removed it in total.
But I am pretty sure modding the APK of the old program mentioned would give him the desired effect.
Wouldn't it be the responsibility of the user and not the app dev of whether or not the use of the device was used legally? To me that seems like holding Samuel Adams responsible for a drunk driver... But I'm no expert on the law.

The topic of recording phone calls was recently covered on a Lifehacker podcast. Here are the links to some of the apps they recommended. You have to scroll down, but there are 4 or 5 different apps listed for those interested. You can also take a listen to their podcast for the discussion.

omg.....finally an app that actually worked to record both sides for once (Sanity). After trying about 10 other apps, one actually works without any other tweaks.
Just remember though, free version only records 2-3min. Donate version removes the limits and turns on other options. Even though the app hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, so far its been worth it just to find a recording app that works and includes a good amount of other options.

After heavy usage Sanity works the best of the apps I've used thus far. Has the most input options and highest recording quality. Definitely was worth the couple bucks for the pro version.

There are two options for you at this point: rip it down and fix it yourself. Or switch to iOS. Oh wait, there is a third, stop complaining and be thankful for the things that you have the inability to produce.
</RANT>
Ha, you totally missed the point of the and took it as a "apple guy" post...
Billion dollar company = cant fix or launch a decent working messaging app.
No one is switching to IOS here, but IOS people aren't running to hangouts in droves either..
If google was serious about making hangouts a "standard" it wouldnt still be the abortion it currently is.

You missed the point. the Hangouts app in this thread, IS NOT FOR OUR PHONE! It works fine on the Nexus 5, the phone it was MADE FOR. We are using an app that was not designed to work for our phones yet. Hence why it has not been released to the play store and why it's not on our phones stock. So sit back, grab a latte and wait for the official so we don't have to see you complain.

Okay I got ya now. Weird though, because I didn't have any problems with the video hangouts or the app at all really. I did use it VERY limited though before the SMS version. Now with the SMS version, unofficial, I have NOT tried video. But MMS pictures do jack it up. However, I just send any MMS through stock app.
