yeah what the heck is this about. maybe the app need a update for our phones

any update on this? I am having the same issues...can see other party but they cant see me.
update: searched the forums more and found this fix?
Its working now, you can change the build.prop file. (/system/build.prop)
Change the line ro.product.model=samsung SGH-i997 to
ro.product.model=SGH-T959V (no samsung in front) then reboot
not sure if this making this change impacts anything else though.

Tango works great.

i find skype still works best on our phones but people have reported crappy battery life. I personally like ooVoo PC software better so I tried their android app but the I appear upside down to the other parties. So I reported this to ooVoo and apparently they said they will have an update by next week. I was surprised how quickly they replied to me and told me when they *hope* to have a fix.

Thanks for the tip. Tried with my wife's iphone and it worked right out of the box! The app is pretty rough around the edges in terms of GUI but I will take it!

Tricking TB to think Front Cam is Main Cam

To me this would be a killer mod for TB. Someone (expert) creating a script to that changes front camera to main camera. If you want to use the back camera, simply select secondary camera. I would think we could start using a lot of the apps out there right now with this mod.
A link one of you experts might find interesting on the subject,

Most apps I have use already have a switch in them.... the only time I can see you wanting to use the front one is for video chat...

Try Tango in the market. I have used it for video chat and it works fine.
I could probably write a script this weekend for it

Thanks for the support guys! Wireless cam is the main reason I bought the TB. I'm a big e-cig guy and would like to broadcast shows and reviews from remote locations.

This could be done once we get a custom kernel in our hands. Don't know about sooner.
No one has completely confirm it. I was hoping this could be done outside the kernel level.

What would really be nice is a way to link the front cam to a dummy bluetooth, an have it setup to where you press the button on your bluetooth an it takes a picture like a spycam kinda thing. would be awesome at work or just messing with people for fun LOL

I know it's off topic but I had to ask. What model do you primarily use? My main is a Joye eGo with a Super T drip tip. I tried the Ego-T kits, but each atty died within a week of use (i ordered two).
My interest in this mod is not for video calls but for web cam use. Example Droidcam. Wireless web cam.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Hey PC,
Sorry to hear about the ego-t. Been vaping for over a year. Use Cisco low res atty on the Rio Grand bottom feed box mod. Never a problem. My atty is 2 months old.
Thunderbolt and vaping go together like girls on trampolines

Call quality.

Hey all! I was wondering how your call quality is? Everything seems great on my end. The people on the other end however say I sound muffled, too bassy, too quiet, or like I am in a tunnel. Is this normal for these? They all said I sound clear, just quiet. They can especially tell as I am coming from a BB Torch as my main phone. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The first few days I had my Atrix, I had that problem but once I turned the noise canceling to high and got the 1.5.7 update, everything is crystal.
Play around with the settings to see if you can't figure something out.
The Skype app on the Atrix has known problems with the audio so don't use that for now...
Sent from my Atrix 4G using the XDA App
I tried that and it didn't help much. This is really very disappointing, I had someone tell me today that it was so quiet that they actually had to concentrate on hearing me. I'm thinking I'll have to have it replaced or returned. I would think it wouldn't be a problem since it's Motorola. I hate the idea of returning or exchanging it because I do like it and I've got it all customized and loaded now.

It most likely is software but hey getting a new handset from them can't hurt.
I read on here that moto went above and beyond to fix someones phone with a audio tech approved handset!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried it with my Jawbone Icon and it works perfectly. By software do you mean something I may have put on, or Motorola's software? I guess if I do want help with this contacting Motorola direct would be best then? I really appreciate all of the input guys.
Edit: Also my other thought was that I could change it out for an HTC Inspire. Don't know as though I would like that as much though.

Find your local motorola service center and take it to them. They'll courier it back to you free of charge.
Before you do that wipe it and see if that helps.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Your holding it wrong....or at least I was. I was getting the same complaints, and realized I was holding my finger over the Mic on the back of the phone. May fix your problem, just a thought.
As far as wiping it, that has been done and did not seem to help at all. Covering the mic on the back could possibly be an issue however. You are referring to the one by the fingerprint sensor correct? If necessary I may just keep my Jawbone around all the time. I will attempt to find my local Motorola service center in the meantime.

Hey, just wanted to update everyone. The update to 1.83 seems to have helped significantly. People say I sound much more clear. Thanks for the help!

Facebook mobile site problems

Running ShoStock 2.2, was happening on 2.1 as well.
The facebook app sucks, so I decided to just use the mobile site. However, I get the old site, not the one that looks like the app does. Tried a different browser, same issue. Different user agent, same thing.
Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing.
I don't think it's you. I am on unnamed and this morning I got the same thing. I usually don't use the mobile site, but someone sent me a link in an email.
I agree with the above statements to use Chrome, I just can't yet since I have't made the jump to ICS. comfortable now on GB.
It has nothing to do with ICS its Facebook it self.I got the same thing on my iPhone,iPod HTC(which is on GB). I believe they are trying to get more people to download the application.

That would suck, as the facebook app is awful. If I don't shut it down after using it, it runs the processor non stop, makes the phone hot, and burns the battery down in no time.
My friend with an iphone 4s just tested it and when to the new website.
Yeah it went back to a bare bones text version about 2 weeks ago!?!?!
It used to look like the app on my Galaxy Nexus. It looks crap now.
However, if its FB attempt to force me onto the new app... I won't be going there.
Not impressed with the apps permissions requirements (read and write to SMS folder and also read phonecall history and contact detail)
Will put up with the bare mobile site for the time being.

Haven't tried it on the 4s only on the 3Gs. This isn't the first time they have done it. If they aren't trying to force user to switch to the app they are trying to approve the site.It should be back to normal soon.
Edit: is the login screen the same as it normally? If so it could just be they are trying to improve the new version. My thoughts is because soon everyone is going to be switched to timeline.

touch.facebook.com works.
However on chrome, when scrolling it always flips automattically to top again. Annoying.
touch.facebook.com throws an issue on my phone. It seems this all started happening after last build of 4.0.4 android. ah well...

T-Mobile TV

Is there anyway to get T-Mobile TV to work for the note? I downloaded the app from the play store however when I open it, it says not compatible with your device. I know their are a lot of T-Mobile users and was wondering do any of you guys have this working. Or is there any possible way to get this to work?
Thanks

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.

Is there any more news on this? I really want to do the same thing. Even if we flash a t-mo radio? really? It would truly be nice to watch.

Alternative to Skype

Can someone please recommend an alternative to Skype. I'm fed up with this POS app. Now you can't even use the speaker option during video calls. Or maybe there's some alternative being developed here?
Thanks.

Try Oovoo or Tango
I like Google hangouts personally.
Not the same as Skype but then again not owned by MS.
I stopped beta testing for Skype shortly before ms took it over. Not going back on principle fwiw.
I think others mentioned here might be open source which is good in a way but far less development I think.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not right now but soon we may finally get rid of Skype if www.tox.im will be ready.
Looks interesting. Would like to know more than the marketing though.
What's the protocol?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm really interested in Tox, distributed means reliability and security as well. I tried using Jitsi today and the server was down. Nice program but obvious issue there. If Tox truly gets distributed messaging working I'll get everyone I can on it.
