Tango also
With our sloooow upload speeds - there really isnt an app that works well enough to video call due to the slow upload - my gf has the HTC Thunderbolt and we've tried Tango, Fring, Qik.... Tango showed the best results, but the video was very very laggy and the audio was piss poor to say the least....
tango on wifi is fine.
So the version on the market goday is already the updated one?

something to bring to the table which is a huge factor for me is this...
my wifes iPhone 4 on AT&T is jailbroke and has the 3G hack to allow to facetime, etc over 3G and not just on WiFi. obviously we can use Tango or Fring on 3G. with this said, every time i connect to her using Tango, i get a Poor Connection error, i can see her and she sees me. i can hear her but she can not hear me.
is this connection related or what?
also, i tried Tango from my Atrix to a friends Xoom with the same results.
tried Tango from her iPhone to his Xoom and it was fine.
Tango on the Atrix zooms a lot. looking at myself in the box, i can see my whole face with a little room outside my face in the box, showing the backround. this is on my phone. from the other phone (Xoom or iPhone or Evo) it zooms almost to just my eyes and mouth.
any ideas?

It's the poor upload speed on the Atrix. Since we're capped at 300kbps that means, in effect, we're capped at around 37.5Kb/s. Normally you'll connect at 100-150kbps, which is much lower (think about 12Kb/s to 17Kb/s). None of those are acceptable for audio and video calls
I sideloaded the beta last night. Tried camera and voice with the fring test call. worked fine!

from Atrix to what?
As i said, from atrix to the fring test call bot. Using that you will hear the audio, do a small recording so you can hear your own voice transmitted and check video as well. Everything works

if you research this, the sirius xm app seems to have some type of disable over 3g function so that you cannot use it over 3g. but then people claimed that it started to work, but only for 10 minutes over 3g. some people even posted that they called sirius support, and they were told that this app is specifically blocked from streamign over 3g. so who knows. its a buggy app though.

Not my experience at all.
The Sirius app works perfectly on my Thunderbolt (Verizon), my Nexus S (TMobile) and iPhone 4 (AT&T) over 3G/4G connections. I'm listening to Srius's Dr Radio on the iPhone 4 over a 3G connection right now. I listened to it in the gym on the Thunderbolt for two hours on Tuesday. No noticeable bugs for me.
The app pops up a warning when you're not on WiFi about excessive data charges are possible over cellular data, but it doesn't prevent you from using it.
To the OP - impatience is understandable when you're frustrated, but the xda crowd isn't very tolerant of breaking etiquette...
Im on VirusRom and cannot connect to sirius. Im in a 3g only area with no available wifi anywhere nearby. The sirius app just keeps acting like its loading, and thats all it does, it never starts streaming for me.
I'm pretty sure its the Rom I switched to boltofphotons and the app works now
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yes, probably something in your ROM, or you're in a weak 3G signal and something streaming like this taxes it.
Stock phone, and Das BAMF the app works just fine on my Thunderbolt.
Does it stream fine on wifi? How about other streamers like Pandora or the like.
I've got a TB and an Evo. TB is running Liquid 1.0 with the new radios and it works fine for me on both 3G and 4G as of this morning. App is known to be buggy tho- it didn't play nice with the last Evo RUU (3.70) and broke streaming (but was fixable with a hack to proxy settings)- but whether that's Sprint's fault (as Sirius says) or Sirius's fault (as Sprint says), nobody really knows.
Ive seen posts about people on VirusRom not getting sirius to work, Ive seen posts about people on VirusRom that did get sirius to work. Anyone have any ideas about whats up? Any ideas about how to fix it besides switching Roms?
Signal strength is -70 dBm/ 3g only area and no wifi for hundreds of miles from me. I also use a dual band signal booster in my home. And apps like Pandora do work for me. I just cant stand Pandora.
Does anyone actually use GTalk video chat. My previous phone was an iPhone 4 and Facetime worked flawless on Wi-Fi and was quite useable over 3G. I have tried using GTalk video chat a couple times with different people and find it so bad it is unbearable. Video quality on the front facing camera seems horrible which doesn't bother me that much but for being such low quality I would think there would at least be no lag. But that isn't the case either. Audio and video are almost never synced and video is choppy as well. One other thing that bugs me, and I am not sure if this is Atrix only, it why on earth would it use the tiny little ambiance mic on the back of the phone instead of the microphone that is made for talking. I was trying to chat with a buddy of mine and once I took the battery cover off he said he could hear me ten times better.
This is more of a rant than a question, I guess I am just checking to see if I am the only one who thinks it's so horrible or did Facetime just ruin the GTalk experience for me.

Ive never used Talk, but Tango works fine for me and its cross-platform.
Just tried Tango. Audio cut out after about 30 seconds.

Oh well. I usually switch back and forth between an Android device and an iPhone every 6 months or so. I guess I'll get the iPhone 5 when it comes out and hope it works better with the devices that are out next spring.
The only reason I switched to the Atrix was because of the front facing camera and getting anything that worked well with it has been a debacle in my opinion.

Hi Guys,
I know that a lot of people hate verizon's skype. I like it because it has the BT working and is using a phone not data.
Minutes are not considered toward monthly cap and it is very reliable as far as a connection goes .
Unfortunately it says not supported by this device. Use the other.
The normal skype app is not that good, resource consuming BT does not work, and it eat up a lot of data.
Esp bad when moving or insinde some buildings where signal is poorer.
My questions is if it could be modded to work on note 2.
On my GN works fine.
Many thanks
Abe

It could also b that vzw does not support it in jb. I cant find the app with my nexus on the market but installed and it worked on a custom rom.
I am hoping once custom rom will b released I can try.
I have an OG droid. I can extract the app from there.
I did install several apps 1.6.0.0 and the latest. None of them work.
One tells me that this app works only on verizon the others that there is a better version of skype.
My gripe is with the main skype app. Poor. Heavy on resources, a lot of data, battery, cpu, does not have BT working.
I cannot use when moving it sounds horrible and I am in a very good LTE area. That app works fine while still in a spot with good LTE connection or WiFi.
I love the original skype because is a simple verizon "phone call". No, it does not uses minutes since is a in network call, and the BT works. It always did. Also there is not data used almost at all
I use skype a lot with people abroad and is as good as any phone call but free and I can get the reliability of VZW network.
Now I have my GN with me and the Note 2 as well. Not a pleasant solution
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Abe
Wow, I totally forgot about this.
Yeah, that would be cool as hell to use minutes and bluetooth.
Wonder if there are any existing XDA modded versions.
Some google searching is turning up repeated mentions of such a mod .apk.
So infuriating that newest skype doesn't support bluetooth.
GRRR
Some people point to mono audio app in market as a way to force routing audio to bluetooth. This may be a partial solution fwiw.
I have RAZR Maxx HD and when I was on ICS there was a way to do it... when I tried to send an IM using Skype, it was automatically loading "Verizon's version" of Skype and then I could call anybody and anyone could call me using verizon's cellular network (not data)... not anymore... JB plugged the hole and many other. Courtesy of Verizon wireless, where customer comes last and primary goal is to milk us and generate hefty profits and bonuses... darn it.
JB vs ICS
I might be JB vs ICS. I have a Gnexus ( toro) with custom JB on it and it works fine.
I am hoping that some aosp rom would make this app work again.
I have tried in a store all the motorola and the S3 not of them would run this light Skype.
I think it has to do with the model number.
Ok. I found a way to do it. Uninstall new Skype and install "Verizon's" skype.
Next click on People and choose IM and person's nick you wanna call (it has to be assigned as skype contact) it will take you to "Verizon" skype and no need to use data.
Guys
I need you help please. The much maligned skype mobile is one of my fav apps. It does not work. I wonder if it is a device ( specific Note 2 ) or is a ROM issue, AOSP vs official.
Can someone try to install it and see if they get same error? See attachment. I have tried on beans version 2 ( I am running it) , no avail. I have also tried the app on a stock S3. My question is can you get to the log in screen. The app needs verizon data connection won't work on WIFI or other networks.
Much appreciated,
Abe

This is the wrong skype.
I am talking about the skype mobile on Verizon.
The one you are talking about works indeed. But lets say it has it limitations.
Can you please try this one. See attached.
Thanks for you help.

You are right about the video. The adv of the other one is that it works with Bluetooth and it uses a Verizon phone number.
Very useful on the go. I can get the thing to work without a hitch. The other skype not so much. Too bloated. Nice if I use it with video on wifi or
somewhere where the LTE is good. On top of that the video app uses 10Meg/min. A lot.
Thanks for trying.

Why don't you want to use the one from the play store.?

This one is from their store too. It used to work. Works fine on my nexus ( 4.1.2 Slim Bean)
Like I've said this one I highly recommend it when on the go why:
Does not uses data- but in network verizon minutes ( zero) - due to this calls rarely drops
Has Bluetooth support.- cannot get it (BT) to work on the other on any of my 5 android devices.
I use the other app with great pains when I am in my car for example. For voice only the BW requirement for skype is to high. When moving this leads to chipmunk sound and breaking voice. I am in a very good LTE area but skype it is what it is.
Skype is my fav app because it bundles ppl from desktop to mobile platforms and that everywhere in the world and I can do that while on the go.
I am at times in metal buildings where the signal is poor. The verizon skype always works the other never.
Thanks,
Abe
So Skype got updated to v4 lately. Everything about it looks and works great...
...except for video call.
It uses the "phone-calling" speakers instead of the "external" speakers for audio out, making it extremely small when you're holding it away from you as you're using it for video calls.
what the hell.
am i the only one with this issue?
unrooted stock Rogers RAZR XT910.
thanks.
edit: nvm. saw Skype's community board. lotsa devices having the same issue.

Nope, I'm seeing (uh, I mean hearing) the same thing with Skype. It's forced me to switch to Google Hangouts until the problem is resolved...
yeah hangouts has evolved, still buggy but better than skype
