tango does a swell job on video chatting over 3g. as well as yahoo IM.
I meant to say notmal video calls just selectine a contact from phonebok and making a video call. Not through any IM.
I am currently on AXURA 2.2.7.
Even on network bar screen I cant see any 3G or H symbol at all. my subscription is 3G and am to make this call on other OS fones. Please help.
Tango or Yahoo IM both work very well you need to have the other party you are calling signed up to those accounts. So what happens is you have a separate contacts list in tango or yahoo.............. then you can call them.

currently there is no 1st party video calling for android phone. probably the only 3rd party app that is lightweight and only requires both users to have the app and a quick sign up is TANGO. its cross platform between iOS and android as well. other apps include qik,fringo, yahoo im, cracked skype , and oovoo
actually no one understood me correctly.
I am not asking about video calling through IM. I am asking about video calling to a mobile or landline no. through my network. If anyone of u hav used Symbian or WinMo u ll understand this. where we can directly make a video call to any no. through network.
Could you please also let me know where I can activate deactivate CELL INFO DISPLAY

and im telling you your options. android does not have a 1st party video chat option...only 3rd parties...and so far the best lightweight vid chat app is tango...when you call them,it'll be just like a voice call thru data and there's a button on the screen to activate video chat.
You have a inbuilt option for making a video call directly over the network instead of IM networks. Have used it on my Galaxy S. Again the service has to be enabled by the operator.
i did not know this. more info please.
I second that.

Need to clarify a couple of things before buyin this phone:
1. Does GS2 provide free turn by turn voice navigation in India (like Ovi Maps in Nokia devices) and does it work offline?
2. Is it possible to do video calling through the network (NOT through internet or wifi, but through the network operator like voice calls. Again like in Symbian OS)
3. Also does it have smiley support in messaging? Not the green android smileys but standard yellow ones
Thanx!
Sorry to post again. But someone can please answer this? I am new to android..
1. Does GS2 provide free turn by turn voice navigation in India (like Ovi Maps in Nokia devices) and does it work offline?
There is Google Maps Navigation, it's free but its not offline. You can use a certain Google Labs option to download a part of the map to your phone. But here's the catch. It's not available in India.
There is no other free GPS software out there. There are trials, but no free ones.
2. Is it possible to do video calling through the network (NOT through internet or wifi, but through the network operator like voice calls. Again like in Symbian OS)
No, you NEED wifi. Plus, it's impossible to transmit video without a data connection. The standard calling-protocol has such little bandwidth which makes it impossible to transmit video.
3. Also does it have smiley support in messaging? Not the green android smileys but standard yellow ones
Nope. There are custom SMS apps you can download from the android market that have their own smilies and plugins.
Other countries have standard video calling via the cellular network, nothing data or wifi related. Unfortunately the sgs2 does not support this standard for some reason like Nokia phones do.

Yeah over here the cellular comapnies provide the facility over 3G network. No need of fringe or other apps. Its not just Samsung, even over HTC you cannot video call over 3G network! So guess its an andoid limitation over its features.
EDIT:
So another Clarification regarding Voice Call
This is how it works is it:
1. Get connected to the Internet
2. Have an 3rd party app like Fringe or Skype
3. Call the another person.
So it looks like the other person MUST and should have this 3rd party app. So in other words i cannot do video call over android to another person if he will not be having the Fringe/Skype?
1: No there are no free offline navigation aps. Like ovi you have to pay for the navigation. There are a few good ones e.g. sygic, ndrive
2: yes you can do video calls as long as you are on 3g
3: I use handcent that supports full emoji emotes can't remember what the stick one does.

Oh so it is possible to make a direct video to call! So is just HTC that does not support this? My friend tried it over HTC Desire S and he could not find the video call options to the number.

and finally all we are requesting to develop a app for native video calling over 3g(no data )
No offense, but did you really read all those links you just posted??
1) Android by itself doesn't have native video calling
2) Only Samsung added native video calling to THEIR version of Android
3) Even if you had native video calling your carrier has to support it and give you access to that service, it isn't just an automagical thing
4) According to what I've read (but I may be wrong), video calls over data network are much better and cheaper than 3g video calls
So, there's no way to make a "native video call apk", because it's a much deeper issue, you would need to modify the phone framework and add A LOT of things (which is no easy task).
Even if you had that, that won't work for squat if your carrier doesn't support video calling, I know for a fact that no carrier in the U.S. (and probably no carrier in America, the continent, not the self-absorved country does).
You can read more from a technical standpoint here (there's a whitepaper and all).

Agree 100%,here native 3g calls are lot cheaper than data charges. Besides how am I supposed to give a video call to someone who own a phone like SE C510 ? non-smartphones don't have apps like skype to video call via data :/
I really hope SE will add native 3g calls in ICS,cos without this front cam is useless for me :/
paying 290$'s for phone with front cam and there is no way to give a 3g call to my gf and family is kinda pointless

I have gone through all the links out of interest. Surely many are not aware of 3G video calling (non data).
Google is purposely not using native 3G video(non-data) calling because it wants to promote Gtalk, third party companies apps, and use of internet plans. Same with Sony etc. Extra revenue is their main aim.
But what's the use ? All other chat-apps offer video calling via data. People will slowly notice this cheating business.
So google should introduce it by themselves in their new and old versions by default, or people will move on to other phones.
I also request the XDA friends to create a customised app/Rom which can be easily modded and inserted in any rooted android phone.
We dont want cheap or costly simply we are askinh about can we make a video call like a audio call through service provider without any help of wifi or internet.
We want call like nokia n73 or samsung grand prime u can make a video call trough dailer and its cost like audio call per socond.
If I root it, can I somehow find a way to make a phone call? Thanks.
You can send and receive phone calls with Groove IP. You don't have to have root, but you have to have a data connection (3g/wifi).
Or you can use talkatone...
I know there are apps like that. But is there a way to use a normal phone call without a data plan?
Is it hardware problem? Or just the tab didn't come with phone app?
groove IP and talkatone only needs wifi... im using both now on my tablet s... all you need is a google voice number and wifi connection... talkatone seems to have a better sound quality but both have about 1/2 second lag on voice...

It's not possible. There are all kinds of problems with this.
For one, there's no hardware. Phones need all kinds of things; special antennae, special modems, basebands, and radios. Although the 3G version of the Tablet would have some of these things, I doubt they are set up for telephony.
Biggest one, however, is the complete lack of software support. Honeycomb (and ICS in tablet-mode), do not feature any of the phone support included in handset releases of Android. There's no phone.apk or any of the other system files required to make phone calls.
So barring any kind of radical upgrade from Sony, or a complete fluke with hardware and better custom ROM support, Voice over IP is your only real option.
OK that's clear now. I read the specification at http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_tablet_s_3g-4138.php it told you that this tablet has no GPRS and EDGE.
Is it means that you can't use internet connection if your place is out of 3G coverage?
thats not true...the 3g version has 2g too...so gprs and edge...i dont know why sony in not fixing the technical details...

If you're using Advanced Calling feature, please share your experience. Like, dislike, what affect it has on other things (if any), etc.
Thank you.
If you are talking about the phone call over WiFi, I had it on for a few calls and thought the quality was not very good so I turned it off.
No, Advanced Calling (AC) is voice over LTE tech. The LG V10 can't do simultaneous voice and data (i.e. using a web search while on a call) unless AC is turned on.
Here's info from Verizon:
Advanced Calling 1.0 for Android Devices FAQs
What is Advanced Calling?
For Apple devices, check out our Advanced Calling 1.0 for Apple devices FAQs.
Advanced Calling 1.0 is a first generation suite of services enabled by VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology. VoLTE is a new technology platform that delivers voice calls over the 4G LTE network instead of the traditional voice network.
The benefits of Advanced Calling 1.0 include:
HD Voice
1-way or 2-way video calls* (including support for video calls over Wi-Fi)
6-way conference calls
Simultaneous voice and 4G LTE data**
*Note: Not all Advanced Calling 1.0-capable devices support Video Calling.
**Note: Most 4G LTE Android smartphones today already support simultaneous voice and LTE data without Advanced Calling 1.0. However, some newer Advanced Calling 1.0-capable devices such as the Droid Turbo by Motorola do not support simultaneous voice and LTE data unless Advanced Calling 1.0 is activated.
What is HD Voice?
HD Voice delivers clearer, natural-sounding audio when both parties are using HD Voice-enabled phones that are connected to our 4G LTE network.
HD Voice is included in your existing voice plan at no additional charge, but must be added to your account in My Verizon. HD Voice calls are billed as standard voice minutes, according to your plan.
What is Video Calling?
Video Calling is a feature that lets you make an HD Voice call combined with real-time video.
Making video calls is as simple and easy as making traditional voice calls. If the person you're calling can accept a video call, you'll see a Camera icon. You can then select that icon to upgrade to a video call. There's no need to download an app or set up a new user ID to place a video call.
Notes:
Video Calling requires a Video Calling-enabled phone.
When connected to Verizon's 4G LTE network and known Wi-Fi access points, video calls will automatically hand off to Wi-Fi.
What is simultaneous voice and LTE data?
Simultaneous voice and 4G LTE data allows customers connected to Verizon's 4G LTE network to surf the web, continue a download, use an application, or use a feature like Mobile Hotspot while talking on a call.
Who's eligible for Advanced Calling 1.0?
To be eligible for Advanced Calling 1.0, you need to meet all of the following requirements:
Be on a standard monthly plan*
Have an HD Voice-capable phone
Note: If you have any features that are incompatible with Advanced Calling 1.0, you'll need to remove them when you add the HD Voice feature to your account.
* Prepaid accounts aren't eligible for Advanced Calling 1.0 at this time.
Which devices support Advanced Calling 1.0?
You can view our current list of phones compatible with Advanced Calling 1.0 online. This list will grow over time.
How much does Advanced Calling 1.0 cost?
Advanced Calling 1.0 is available at no additional charge, and HD Voice is included in existing plans.
HD Voice calls are billed as standard voice calls according to your plan. No data charges apply.
Mobile-to-Mobile calls that happen to be HD Voice calls are charged just like traditional Mobile-to-Mobile calls and are billed against your monthly minute allowance according to your plan.
A video call is an HD Voice call combined with real-time video. The voice portion is billed as a standard voice call, according to your plan. The video portion is billed as data, according to your data plan. No data charges apply to video calls transmitted over Wi-Fi.
Note: An average 1-minute video call uses about 6 - 8 MB of data. The actual data consumption of your video call may vary. You can estimate your data usage using our online Data Usage Calculator.
I use it all the time. I would not get a phone that I could not talk on and use the internet simultaneously. I don't have any issues with voice quality.

For me, I felt the call audio was a little soft/tinny (not sure how to describe it) and thought it odd that the call audio on a phone like this wasn't better so I thought I'd give it a try and activated it late last week. At first, I wasn't sure I could tell a difference but then noticed that the clarity of the audio on phone calls seems to be improved - i.e. instead of the call sounding distant/tinny, it seemed to "feel" closer, with better audio clarity.
Maybe it's a placebo affect but I can say I'm happier with the call quality after activating it. Plus, what can it hurt...it's a feature Verizon is offering for free!
When I use advance calling for some reason on BT the names aren't displayed on my vehicle screen, only the phone number shows up. If I turn it off it will display the name of the call coming in or going out. Anyone else have this happen?
My family won't talk to me with it on. They sound great to me but I sound like I am in a tunnel.
But with it off no data while in a call.
This is might be a deal killer with this phone...
I rarely had dropped calls until using AC. Coupled with weird sound quality, I call it At&t Calling. ?
Couple observations
-I maybe incorrect on this, but I believe that in order for voLTE to actually work, BOTH parties in a call need to have it - service availability and a compatible phone. So I'm not sure whether most people weighing in actually know for certain if they've actually had a VOLTE call or not.
- In a post elsewhere another user blamed voLTE for increasing battery drain rate. Certainly seems plausible, but if true, that would be truly unfortunate because apparently disabling it prevents simultaneous data and voice - an issue I've never had to deal with before.
- this might not be relevant to many, but I was pulling my hair out trying to determine why my location-based profile app (Llama) as well as similar apps that use cell tower polling to determine location at low battery cost, were not able to read any cell tower IDs - until I disabled Advanced Calling and then low and behold they worked again.
I'm dubious of AC at this point, and curious to hear more people's experience.

I came from the G3 which allowed simultaneous voice and data but never really used it. What I think is that we should AT MINIMUM be able to use Maps and be on a call without losing out directions as now Maps directions stop if you get a call. I really don't think GPS directions should be using data anyway. I will not be enabling AC until it works with Ring Back Tones or it is something that I can't avoid.

I use it, but so far the only person I've been able to talk to using HD voice is my girlfriend and that's only because I activated it on her phone. It sounds a lot different, but it's hard to explain what it's like. It's almost like you're talking to someone right next to you, but your in a glass box. There's this weird difference that I can't put my finger on what it is exactly but it seems the sound of emptiness is clearer in the background.
Quick update, it's awful if you don't have a decent data connection. We were talking while she was in the gym and it sounded so bad. She would cut out randomly, or sound way softer than normal and I couldn't understand anything. It's OK at best, but I think I prefer traditional calling.
I am suspicious of it causing my voice to echo. It doesn't always happen but since I've left it on for a while, I've heard my own voice very frequently. The other party, who probably isn't using AC has never commented on an echo and I assume they're not hearing it.
I have it activated on my phone as well as my wife's; i've only talked to her using AC. It sounds very much like talking to someone over Skype, Hangouts, etc. Sometimes it seems very clear and easier to hear the other person, then other times it will "pixelate" the sound, which is also something that most people that have used Skype, etc have experiences. I've never had any voice echoing though. I would never pay for this feature, but it is the only way we can use data and voice simultaneously.
It was also needlessly difficult to enable this feature on my wifes G4. I was able to activate it on my V10 no prob, but could not do it on the G4. Finally called VZW and after 10 minutes with an L2 support guy it was enabled. Something was messed up on their end.
I'm unable to activate it on my phone. My 'Advanced Calling' screen just says "upgrade service to..." but I activated it online in my Verizon account 8 hours and about 3 reboots ago. Any ideas?
I can't believe a device in 2015 is incapable of simultaneous voice and data. Verizon forcing this single antenna path on us is pretty ridiculous. I use tethering a lot and I also look things up for my parents while talking to them. Are these use cases really that rare that no one complains?

Honestly, no they are not that rare. I've used data while talking on my note 3 and LG G3. This makes me want to sell the lg v10. That's excluding the fact I can't get txts after root working and no I don't want to use HD calling and it's not on my plan.
Ok guys I got a question!! I rooted my v10 on 5.1.1 and had my A/C calling on when I flashed the upgrade root package. phone started to get a bit buggie after awhile so I did a factory reset lost my A/C so I unrooted and try to reactivate it was a no go. I disabled it from my line then tried again and again and again. Did this for about 3 hours finally call Verizon they tried to help but there useless considering there reading from a script. So now I'm back to root with no A/C. I really like my A/C and they want me to update to 6.0 and I'm not giving up root no way in hell am I doing that does anyone know of a work around. I got a new SIM card coming in from Verizon hoping that may fix it. Any and all help is very much appreciated!!
