Tango not working :( - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm on DasBAMF, and tango video calls worked fine before I was on this. I can see other people, but it seems to not be getting access to my camera. There's a little black screen in the bottom of the corner where my picture should be.
I'd post this in the thread for the rom but I don't have the permission yet.

I found that it doesn't work well with 3G - either voice and/or video go in and out. Hopeing it gets better soon

It worked fine on 3G before I switched to DasBAMF though, and my friend who's using her iPhone has it working fine over AT&T 3G.

Video was choppy over 3G but worked between my wife's iphone4 and my phone the other night. Both of us on VZW 3G.

That choppiness is horrible with mine - but I only had 2 bars in 3G only area (could be my problem)

Tried tango over 4G and and iphone on wifi. Worked fine, quality was great.
Unfortunately, Tango drains my battery in the background even when its not running. Had to uninstall it.

3g cutting in and out

My fiance listens to xm and pandora all day while working and he has noticed his 3g cutting in and out for the past couple of days.
It happens randomly sometimes for a few seconds to a few mins. The phone stays in the same spot and earlier in the week it had no problems. To temporally fix it he either unlocks the phone or has to reopen xm or pandora. He does have it connected to a charger while listening.
We both run kaos v39 with the newest radio and open gls. The only thing i remember doing was i downloaded a program called green battery but uninstalled it after a min.
I also switched from gsm to cdma prl on both phones
My phone seems to be fine but then again i dont listen to pandora and xm a lot.
Is there a different setting i can change or something. Thank u for any help.

Try this: Install a market app called "APN OnOff". Launch it. Choose "Show APN list". Press Menu and then "Reset to default". Reboot the phone and see if that helps.
He said even with that it still does it. Is there anything else i can try?

I've been experiencing something similar the last few days. It will start on 3G, then for a few seconds it will switch to 1X, and then switch back. It hasn't really affected my daily activities, but I definitely notice it.
EDIT: In addition to 3G abnormally going in and out, my signal has been unusually low as well.
I occasionally get the 3G to 1X. I just end up rebooting my phone and all is well but I don't think just doing that is a permanent fix.
Btw running CELB 4.3 if that helps

Add me to that list. I was previously (up until about a week ago) Tethering to my Netbook and streaming Netflix with No Problems, No choppiness, Full screen. Now I am lucky to be able to watch Netflix at all, small screen, or for that matter Load webpages in a reasonable amount of Time. Anyone Think they are Throttling the connections now that Iphones are coming Online to the Network and are trying to keep a handle on Traffic and perhaps avoid the same Issues ATT had with the Iphones, Dragging the Network to a screeching Halt. Anyway Contract is up in March and decided I will defect to Sprint or Tmobile. Never had issues with Tmobile in my area and may return to them on the G2 or the Mytouch 4G. Just my 2 Cents for what it is Worth.

Makes sense to me. It wouldn't surprise me if it's true. OTOH, several months ago I noticed severely decreased tethering experience and then out of the blue a month or so ago it started working much better for about a week. Now, though, it's back to the same old stuff. This was all with the same ROM and always with occasional reboots except when tethering never once gave out.
I'm basically always leaning slightly one way or another as to believing conspiracy theories or just chalking it up to things beyond anyone's control.

Video calls over 4G

Can anyone comment on the quality when video calling on 4G (Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt)?
(and state what app you used, Tango, Fringe, etc)
Ive only been able to try it with people on other carriers like sprint, which didnt work super well because (i think) they didnt have a good signal...
thanx
Danny
I use Tango with friends and family on Verizon, Sprint and AT&T with a variety of phones (Evo 4Gs, Samsung Captivates, Droid X, etc) and it has worked exceptionally well even on 3G, so I imagine over 4G it would be even higher quality.
I've tried out the skype video several times and the video/audio quality was fine. could receive everything all clear and was sending just the same. this was over 4g, not 3g.
If you are using skype then I assume you are rooted?
thanx for the response

[Q] Streaming Video - Lagging

Hello Forum,
Not sure if this is a Amaze issue or just a Tmobile 4G issue.
It seems that whenever I want to stream a video one it lags to open up and when it does open up it always gets interupted and seems to have to load again and I get that clock symbol that it is clocking.
I check and even when I have full bars and 4G running full it still seems to happen. I live in the Miami area and supposedly it has good 4G coverage.
I even tested it next to my friend's phone who has Iphone (not even the 4s) on AT&T and we both streamed a video and his started automatically while mine took like 7-8 seconds to open and play.
If anyone has any input or advice, please let me know.
Cuz according to Tmobile commercials especially the ones run during Xmas with elves it should be lightning fast....
Thanks
Sounds like you're throttled..lol

No, not at all. I have the 5GB Plan and I never go over... Not even close...
I cant believe the little response..
Is anyone else having this problem??
Could people please comment either if your is super fast or having same problem I am having....
Thanks
I have the 5G plan also..I go over it once in awhile. And I have experienced throttle...from what you're describing sounds like a throttle (to me). Which APN are you using? Have you upgraded your SIM card?
You can also check how much data was used with that T-Mo app. MyAccount. I need to use that because I stream and download tons of crap a month..

try getting speedtest app from the market and run a few tests check your ping and speed, wireless net speeds vary greatly.
whats site are you streaming from and what is the quality

Youtube on 3G: Connection to server lost. Tap to retry

All of a sudden I started getting this error the other day.. no idea what the issue is. Videos worked fine before on this phone and all my others before it. It stopped working on my one EVO LTE and then it just didnt work at all on my replacement. I don't buy that its a tower issue as other gingerbread phones in the household work.. any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this?
Sprint is starting to piss me off

I started to have the same issue since last week. I havent called sprint yet (as they are no help). The youtube app works fine when on a wifi connection, but as soon i get on 3G ...nothing. I also dont have 4G coverage in my area either (next spring).
I also got the same issue after I did the OTA update on EVO LTE.
YouTube app works fine over wifi connection but when using 3G it gives this error.

[Q] Best Video Call App to iPhone 5?

Basically i own the One X+ on ATT here in the states and my wife owns the new iPhone 5. We have both never done video calling before so new to this. Just want your guys' input in what app is best for our two phones to video call each other over both 4g/3g network and wifi. We only have wifi at home so on the go would be using mainly 4g as we luckily live in an area where 4g is everywhere.
I've tried Tango but even with 4 bars on 4g network the video quality was kind of crappy and choppy. We were even just 10ft away from one another to try it out and still choppy, not very clear video calling.
Basically what's the best app for quality in the video call over 4g and wifi? I would assume all apps would work great over a good wifi connection but we are on the go a lot so will depend more on 4g connectivity over the ATT network.
Haven't tried the famous Skype app yet as the best reviews doing research all point to Tango. Just not impressed at all with the Tango video quality over Skype.
If it helps my device is rooted and running Elegancia custom rom. My wife is stock iPhone software.
Skype,tango,gtalk,Google plus

same situation
my fiancee has the iphone 5 and i have the hox+. we use skype, and it does just fine. it seems to work a little better on my end than the iphone end.
OoVoO
I use OoVoO
It's free app and also works great with 3G or 4G also
And it has desktop software too
so you can call on computer also (Just like Skype) .... isn't it great.....
