I tried to use the camera while on a phone call and the phone says I can't do it. Does anyone know a way around this or how to fix this?
anybody know?
Same if your battery is low. Not sure how to do a work-around, but I would imagine Cyanogens Rom would take care of it.

Maybe u r in a call asking for how to fix something and they tell you "move the lever" and you say which one, there are two, so he asks what model number is ur thing and u have no clue so u wanna send a pic but without losing the call? ??

thats what fring calling is for...
but yeah this is only the 2nd instance i have heard of this needed/wanted if there were more demand for this than it might come native... does the HTC/MOTO phones allow this? I have never tried before...
Oh yeah I was on a phone call the other day and wanted to show my friend something while still on the phone. I think this would be useful.
have you tried a 3rd party app out of the market? Its worth a shot...

Actually this came about because my buddies at work here all have Androids and we harass the pi$$ out of iphone users. Well one of the damn iphone guys found that their iphone can take pictures while connected on a call, and android can't.
I do actually see the usefulness of needing this though.

Haha, yes, we do need this function working!
I cant believe this was left out of Android I have been able to do this with every phone I have had for the last 3 years. Both my HD 2 and Moto Q9h bot can do this.

I have a Moto Cliq and I'm able to use my camera and record video while in a phone call, but I cant remeber if I was able to before I rooted my phone so it might be a SU or a ROM ability.

The Cliq allowed you to do it before rooting or anything.
That's one of the big issues I have with the Vibrant

Thanks for the tip.
I'm about to downgrade but I still want to use it as a mobile device around the house but want it to be a little faster.I'm rooted and running okay but want better doped maybe deleteing some of the stuff I wont use because it wont have service.

im not going to lie dude you should just sell it while you can still get good money for it i sold mine for 145 which is about what i paid for it after tax and everything so i was pretty happy with that
+1 sell it =)
Agreed, just sell it.
I'd keep it. use as an MP3 player, wifi internet device, video game, PDA, flash drive, .......
Unless you have a similar, all rolled into one device already, The Eris, sans phone & g3, is still a very useful device.
I'm going to be giving mine to my four year old who really likes listening to her MP3s and watching videos on YouTube that involve singing kitties... LOL. February 10th can't come fast enough...
Install google voice and use it as a house phone\multi media device.

It still needs voice service with Google Voice, right? GV isn't VOIP, it just manages calls to all of your phone numbers. And if you activate on VZW, it'll require a data plan as well.

You can download and use the new sipdroid (option for new PBX linked to my google voice) and google voice for true voip with google voice. all incoming gv calls ring to sipdroid, all outgoing gv go through sipdroid when attached to wifi. no need to activate with vzw.

I've been trying to video call a couple of people using the 'Video Call' button in the dialler/contacts on the Galaxy S II but haven't got it working yet. My boyfriend has a Dell Streak and kinda thought considering that has a front facing camera that it would work!
Anyone know what protocol the video calling is using? Will it work with other phones besides the SGS2? Has anyone got it to work?

Maybe it's a Samsung only thing. I dunno...
I think it's proper 3G video calling, but I no longer know anybody with a phone that supports this as everybody is on new-fangled smartphones that can't do normal video calling.
Wait, just tried it with my colleague, works fine.

Trouble with 3G video calling is the price, last I could remember it was like 50p a minute and never took off when 3 UK started promoting it initially. Mind you, the data plans have got up now (though 3's all-you-can-eat sounds good) I suppose.
Cheers,
I had to ring orange to activate it, now is working , wouldn't let me ring a video call until I did

Ooh, interesting! That just the standard 150?
Aye 150, then after explaining the issue to the first agent he sent me to the more specialist team (forget name) and even he had to put me on hold to he find the issue as he had never come across it before. Took 24 hours to activate.

dumbest thing ever but
Hello,
I am looking to get a new phone the SG2 has been a dream for the last month but everybody says go for the IPHONE.
I need video calling like skype or tango, skype would be awesome but no release for android yet.
I am a social networking freak, no gaming, tweeting and facebooking mostly and youtube. and skype
so what shall i go for SG2 where people tell me android is too buggy with its apps and there is no skype but there is tango or ooovooo and a 2 megapixel camera
or the damned iphone that trace ur ass and kill chinese staff. very complicated choice and i think id love somebody to tell me that get the SG2 becoz skype will release a video calling feature for android soon and that the apps are not so full of bugs as some say.
or somebody tell me get the heck out of this forum and go get a damn apple toy!
thank you

Skype are working on video calling and there have been a couple of leaks but it appears it'll be a Verizon exclusive for a few months much like the app was.
I'd go for the SGS 2 but that's because I love Android. It's so much more customisable and the range of apps is pretty much the same. Go into a store and play with both; see which one you like best.

i dont think so , and yes its quite steep, and the quality isnt great either, was very jerky when i called my girlfriend in the same room. we both got g2's.
qik video was much better through wifi, not tested it both on 3g / H yet
.. as for included minutes, it says this on the webpage
if you're on pay monthly
Your Plan 60, 120, 200 or 300
30 minutes per month for 3 months
Orange Premier – 600 or 900 minutes
60 minutes per month for 12 months
im on 1200 minutes a month so i might ring em and see if get a few minutes, but it doesnt use your regular minutes i know that much .
Guys are you saying the Video Call button in the dialer is only intended for British networks?
Can I "setup" that button to call using Skype, if I am not on Orange or some other network that supports the original Video Call functionality on SGS2?
Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.

No HDMI cable yet.
Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

and partially because in portrait the 3D is skinnier than the evo 4g

Everyone is entitled to their opinion just don't try to shove it down anyone's throat just because you believe its a 'bad' thing. Personally, I use Enhanced Email which allows to bypass the security PIN.

It tough to say if there is a decent app out that can do that. Usually those apps only work well if you have them on speaker phone because the phones hardware is set up to not be able to record the other party directly, just what is coming out of your microphone.
One way to test is use the built in sound recorder app in the middle of a call. It does the exact same stuff as the call recorders.
Only way is using mic to record. Otherwise you need kernel support to record a phone call directly in android.

Either you or the other party has Google Voice & they pressed #4 on the dialer.
It makes that announcement (awkwardly loud) for legal purposes, since in some states/cities it's either: illegal to record without consent, at all or simply illegal to not inform them of the recording taking place.
Check this video out...

Interesting......
Seen a kernal somewhere that supported call recording... Somewhere in cdma development. And if you allow the permissions to mess with phone calls that is you being informed and agree to it, as seen when you download almost any app, just keep an eye out for the ones that say anything to do with phone calls,
