Front facing camera - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can we make video calls or does it only work with google talk video chat?

I tried tango to another atrix user and it worked but we couldn't hear each other. I think qik is rumored to work but I haven't tried it.

Try using "Qik for atrix "

Tango, fring, and qik all work for video chatting on the atrix. I use them all the time.

Sometimes, you have to disconnect calls and call again to get working properly. Most of time its issues with peoples data connection being slow. Like if I'm using wifi and other person is on 3g, itll through up bad connection since other person data is slower than mines. They all work good for most part.

((Q)) att wifi calling on vibrant

So I just trued to download the tmobile wifi calling app
And duhhhhh. I forgot she's on att.
App opened but says there's a sim error.
What can she do?

The WiFi calling app routes all calls and messaging to T-Mobile's servers, so naturally it won't work on ATT. Uninstall the app, restart, and it should work. Without WiFi calling, I mean.

Lol I figured that much manee
Im asking how to make it work.
3rd party app or something.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It won't work unless you use T-Mobile, simple as that. Unless ATT has some WiFi calling app I'm not aware of.

Video Chat

Who knows how to do it. I have yet to find it. Having came from a Mytouch 4G that had a couple of specific video chat apps for it. Thanks in advance !!

You can try Qik, Skype, Tango or Oovoo. I've heard good things about all 4 of them.

G+ Messenger has Hangouts built in now. You don't have to join one you can create one.
Just within the last week or so, Skype updated their Android app. Video chat now works on my Rezound. Before the recent update, the video would cause an almost instant Force Close on this device. I tested with someone and it works. Both LQ and HQ video modes. Although when I had it in portrait mode, the display was a bit squished. Sized improperly. Hopefully Skype fixes this soon. The audio quality I had in Skype was outstanding. Sure beats crappy compressed 8khz phone call audio...
Skype all the way, not sure what others case is, but my experience is excellent. Screen looks right, doesn't crash, audio is great.

Gtalk

(Q) Why can't I open camera during call?

Is this typical on all of the roms? I was on a call and went to send my wife a picture of what I was looking at in messaging and got a popup saying can't open camera during call. Never really noticed it before but was wondering if it was the stock camera app or the phone. I'm on Saurom VI with Att fix.

Yes this is normal. Every android phone I have had works this way
Yes mine does the same thing.
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
stock camera does that but some of the cam aps from the market work just fine during a call
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Cool, thanks to know. Seems kind of silly that I can't take a picture while I'm on the phone. I don't think the camera makes the earpiece work......lol

Not all of them work this way. The GSII did not and neither did the GSII SR. At least on the official ROMs I played with the camera worked during a call. I have not tried that on the Note.
What would be the logic of disabling the camera while on a call.?

That's what I thought. It's not like it needs the phone radio to open.

Its more about the resources that the phone uses while on a call and the camera. The are both huge ram hogs. And we know what happens when the system gets taxed too much.

No issues here. Are you using it on WiFi? If not have you tester it on WiFi? Have you checked the settings to make sure there isn't something about the forward facing camera in there that might be causing your issue?

Im trying it on 4g at work. It does seem to work much better at home on wifi. Im using the modded version.
