[Q] Incoming call picture - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to all!
nice to write from Italy to all of you!
I just bought a Dell Streak 5 and I've upgraded to 2.2 version that I found more better and complete compared to the 2.1
I switched from HTC because lately, I was bored because of the lees of the ront facing camera (I use to work a lot on Skype)
the thing thatI noticed that when I receive call, the profile picture is small and very low defined.
Is there a trick to make the definition of that image as the original?
Thanks advanced
Best regards

Try the Full Screen Caller ID app in the market. It will give you a high res big picture. I cant get it to work on my crappy 1.6 os. Good luck

I use it with 1.6.1 and works fine

Works good on 2.2 as well!
Make sure you get the correct one as one is very hit and miss - Fullscreencallerpro is very stable and works very well.
Excellent picture quality.

Dearest Guys,
I've followed your suggestions and both of your program work with the 2.2
I have to say that they show excellent pictures quality.
Thank you very much for your help
Best regards
Ciao

How about GIF?
How come the GIF does not work in the incoming call?
Many thanks.

Nobody uses GIF as the contact icon?

Video Call?

Ok, we know that Fring and Qik are the two that we can use the front facing camera for any video call per say, but that is only between two phones. How about phone to computer or vice versa? Fring used to offer the skype video call add-on but it is blocked now.
Thanks in advance
Sorry to highjack thread, but I can't get Qik to even recognize the front camera on my 1.6 Streak.. will Fring?

Yes, Fring uses the front facing camera but sadly QIK doesn not recognize the front camera.
Google voice has skype-like functionality, doesn't it? I haven't really tried it myself yet (waiting for my data plan to upgrade the beginning of next month), but considering how ubiquitous gmail is becoming it might be a possibility.
I'm pretty new here but have been a google voice user for a while now amd it is not like skype basically it just gives you a new number and makes you have to go through them to make calls and send texts.

Same on 2.1, the option to switch camera in settings is greyed out. Gonna email qik tomorrow and see if they plan an update to support our devices.

Let us know if you hear back. Thanks.
Finally got a reply from qik, heres what the email says:
Hi,
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We are expanding on the range of phones that Qik will support. There are already some Dell Streak users who have written to us, and we are developing the features now. It would be helpful if you could offer us your feedback on how to make Qik work better for you on the Dell Streak.
Thank you for writing to us, have a great day

Gonna reply and tell them that the option to use front camera needs to be enabled and also maybe to adjust the front camera's brightness?
I noticed when i video call using fring with my friend that has an iPhone 4, his is much brighter than mine which is almost black in a dark room...

Suggestions for future Steve builds

I really am pleased with the work you have done so far Steve and have donated already. I wanted to make a request for yahoo messenger video chat to get the front facing camera option like you did for oovoo if its an easy fix. Also if Skype can recognize video chat. 1.7 Runs very smooth and I had to do a factory reset whithin 1.7 to get it working fully. I kept getting stuck in wifi or 3g and could not go to the other. In case someone is experiencing the same issue. always willing to support and will donate again in the future.

I Also am having difficulty pulling up my work contacts when sending a e-mail with the new keyboard. It just freezes when trying to retrieve the contact from the server.

I would be eternally grateful if Master Steve could provide us with a dialer (Gingerbread/GalaxyTab/dontknowwhatelse...) that supports native video calls.
I do not know if this is possible without Dell's help, but i would really really love this feature that even 50 euro cellphones have nowadays.
I think it would be awesome to get a rip of the new "Facebook phone" apk and build it in. Or hell, just the rip would be fine!

Thank you for this.
Sounds great, many and many thanks.
BUT, as I am a complete noob in this kind on "technology", could you either tell me how to make it work (with Wifi ?) or direct me towards the correct thread(s).
Actually, I'd like to be able to phone without using my paid package (10 min withoud data)...
Thx, i'll try it.
@FrancisB1
there is an option at the begining of the instalation to use active-sync/wifi/mobile internet connections.
@ raving_nanza
OK, I'll give this a try and tell you wether if it works fine (or not but not hope so)...
Thx.

its real simple,
Just install and select Wifi/Active Sync/3G Network,
then turn ur wifi on and sign into a hot-spot or ur local wifi,
then log into Skype and it would work, although i use my 3G data plan, as its unlimited xD

It really can work? I'm a nood,too.I have never saw the kind of apps,It must be 3G?My phone is 2G.

Thanks for the upload
I was wondering if it supports video calls too?
I own Sony Ericsson Xperia X2, was wondering if i can use the front Cam as a webcam in any way possible?
Wanna chat with my girlfriend, and long distance calling is damn expensive in terms of video calls.
My girlfriend uses skype from Ifone and works flawless for a video call.
if not skype any cheap way possible to use the front cam as a webcam for msn, yahoo etc?
any help will be great

I must thank the person for uploading this version!!

Once again a HUGE thanks for this!!

[Q] can anyone get this super fast gallery3d to work?

hi guys, i came across this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13954588 this gallery seems to be from the galaxy's 2.3.3 and it reportedly to be much faster the stock ones. i can't seem to get this working on my streak running SD 1.9.1 thus would anyone care to get this working? P.S i have tried installing via recovery and adb.
Try QuickPic from the market. Default for me.
thank for the suggestion but i still fancy the effects of the gallery3d. Cheers.
nothing better then quickpic

let me tell u a secret.
I have SGSII and I still think gallery has nearly the same speed as streak.
Edit : I also use quick pic and its a must have on any device
Agreed on quickpic, although I find PerfectViewer has better quality.
I use QuickPic for a very good, quick overview, and PerfectViewer when detail is required
