Skype voice problem - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Hi
I'm on froyo 2.2 orange Uk and facing problem with Skype audio. The issue is that I can't hear the other party's voice however if I switch on the speaker the issue goes away. Looks like the problem is with the proximity sensor which blocks out the incoming voice (no problem with the mic). Also, there is no problem if I use earphones. Orange has replaced one handset because of this but not willing to support anymore. They are saying Skype is third party application.
Can someone help me please in fixing this issue.

I would contact Skype Support if I were you, possibly you should update to Gingerbread, that may help.
Rumor has it that Photon users had that issue at one point, but we are working fine on Skype.
I am a Photon User, and the Atrix is the Photon's cousin basically.

Thanks deedscreen for your reply.
I can't update to gingerbread as it is not released yet on orange Uk. Will contact Skype support and see their response. I don't expect much support for Uk customers, though.

[Q] first post, looking for guidance

hey everyone, i usually dont post, observer is more like it. but i am having touble and i hope someone could shed some light. the first issue is with the dow kernel from tw. it wont recognize my headset as a microphone headset, only plays music, and second, ffc isn't my default camera when i use messenger, fring, or qik. it works fine, except for the low light/low banding issue, havent found anything for that yet, but i digress. those programs go automatically to my back cam, not sure what i'm doing wrong. thanks in advance for the help and just wanted to say thanks to all the devs. you guys are awesome, we would be running crappy slow phone and slaves to our networks. you guys (and gals) rock.
I recall reading some posts in the FFC thread in Development that discuss how to get programs such as fring to recognize the front camera. HTH

have you tested this? does it work?
The Tango update fixes the crashing issues. You can video chat now!
It works. If you read the changed in this version it added support for atrix zoom and streak.

that means somehow the developer was able to manage the atrix's quirks regarding voip and microphone use, so other apps like skype might do it too. I wonder who will cave first, skype or motorola?

Ohh yeah, it works very good. first app i m able to use both on iphone and android (atrix) without any problems
Have been waiting for this thanks for the info.
anyone have audio issues? I can hear the other person, but he can't hear me...
I tested it out with an iPhone 4 after the update and it does work.
i was unable to call out to an Evo but was able to recieve the Evo's call.. i was never able to see their picture or them see mine.. then it was disconnected due to poor reception but we both had full bars and was 1ft away
Thanks 4 alerting us that Tango us ready for the Atrix, I been wanting this since Feb. 22.
I've been able to chat with the wife on her iPhone using wifi and or 3g and whatever we get on the Atrix lol

Friend with iphone 4 called me and I was able to talk to him over 3G, though there was an occasional pause due to the slow network. After about 10 minutes it froze up and lost its connection, but was still better than nothing. I'll be using this feature quite often to speak to my best friend who lives 1,500 miles away,
I just tried to use Tango but when I try to call someone it says "initializing" then "calling" but it never calls or anything...
A-A-A-Atrix!
Tango works fine for me. Used it today with an iPhone user, both of us were on WiFi.
Just tried tango with my friend on her iPhone4. The video quality was OK but the voice was horrendous. We both had to mute our speakers as we couldn't even make out a word the other person was saying. There was so much static and distortion that we sounded like aliens submerged underwater. I have the Bell Atrix. Is anyone else experiencing this?
i used it to speak to people. it worked. However it doesnt actually make a RINGING sound. it just stays silent. Not perfect. Also Tango shows you asll contacts in your contacts that have Tango (dont know how they did this). you cant yet have a favorites list, like skype.
Has anyone else had the issue with the mic not working? I am able to view my friend's video feed and hear them and they can see me, but not hear me whatsoever. Any ideas? Is the mic just not activating when the app launches?
Also I can only receive calls but not make them? Any ideas?
Thanks..

[Q] Phone speaker not working

Dear all, my Dell Streak phone speaker is not working. But if i turn on the loud speaker or attach bluetooth/hands free device works well.
I already tried to replace the recovery & rom with stock 322, 345, DJ Steve 1.7.0, 1.9.0, but non of it solve the problem.
Is it due to software problem or hardware problem? How can i check it?
FYI, my DS is never fall to the ground and water.
Can anyone help this poor man?
Thanks before.
Hi Marketblack,
same problem with me, because of my loyalty to DELL STREAK,until now i'm still using DS eventhough every outgoing call or receive call use loadspeaker.
Sometimes my speaker back to normal but that conditions temporary only

Wow, I am almost afraid to root my Streak if this type of issue might occur.
so what should i do rico???
if i've return back to DS service centre at my country, it takes 14 days to repair
Same problem for me.Suddenly stopped working.Only external speaker and hands free works.i have 2.2.2 and the device is with factory settings since i am not familiar with root/flash techniques.If someone knows something about how to fix it it would be nice.In any case,i have already ordered a bluetooth set
I just got my second Dell Streak today. it was shipped to me as 2.2...i ve put my sim, battery and charger and it has asked me to update. now i got 2.2.2. I have tried to make a phone call but, as the same for you guys, my earpiece is not working. BT and speaker phone works well though...
The first streak i had wasnt great either. it always displayed "please send dsp.crash.img to RD" right after an FC on an app that uses sound...this only happens when sounds are used. apps that do not have sound, like browser and messaging, do not trigger the FC. im not sure if you have experienced this too, i hope not.
i think im just not lucky with streaks... im not sure if my warranty will cover a third replacement...
with the second streak problem, im thinking maybe its a hardware fault? like the contacts in the earpiece are loose from the circuit board... i would have done this already if i wasnt afraid of losing my warranty..
it would be great of someone at xda can come up with a solution.

[Q] Video Call not Working for Verizon Fascinate??

Well i have Yahoo Messenger and the Plug in installed, it's allowing me to make video calls, however it only shows black screen. wonder why..
is it bec. im using 2.2 only? should i update to 2.3? or should i root my phone?.. i really don't know what to do.
read something about verizon disabled the front camera or something but i dont know if thats even the issue, since even my back camera aint working, and i can't even see the other person as well who's using a laptop.
Hehehe.. hope someone can answer my question..
i will try to update to 2.3, and rooted it, even i'm not really sure the advantage of being rooted..
There is no front camera on the Fascinate. The two things on the front are a light and proximity sensor.
Don't know the answer to your question, but I wonder if the program is only set to use a front camera?

¿bad microphone?, what can be done? (new info, possible corrupted firmware?)

Hi guys,
Sorry if this post is repeated or shouldn't be here, I searched and didn't find anything related.
I think this is my first post, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Antonio from Chile, Southamerica and I always look this forum and it has helped me first with my SGSII, then with mi Atrix 4G and now with my MoPho.
I just got my "new" MoPho from eBay and it's incredible, but somehow the microphone it's not working or working with a very low volume on calls, but now is the strange part: if I record voice with any voice recorder (ie: Easy Voice Recorder Free) or video with the camcorder, the voice sounds clear and fine.
At first thought that somehow, the gsm signal here could be inducing this, but when I borrowed my brother in law's phone (also a MoPho) it worked well without any issues.
I don't know if the previous owner did something to the phone. Besides doing a factory reset, I haven't done anything else.
I think that maybe the noise reduction could be somehow doing this because it's triggered on calls and not on recordings (my guess)
Do you have any other clues?
Thanks for your time, have a nice day!
Antonio.
UPDATE:
I just tried to call with headphones attached (not handsfree) and the voice was clear as water. Unplugging the headphones in the same call returns to the same problem. Could be this related to something that the previous owner did to the software?
I would like to flash the phone to stock, but reading, there's no 2.3.5 SBF for Photon, just for Electrify. I don't need CDMA since I'm in a GSM carrier so flashing the Electrify SBF and the peetr rom would work?
Thanks!
New update.
After doing a fresh install involving the usc sbf and now its working. Perhaps the previous owner modified the phone or messed up.
Thanks!!

DONT FLASH ANYTHING FOR THE ELECTRIFY ON THE PHOTON THIS WILL LOCK YOUR PHONE UP AND REQUIRE ALOT OF WORK TO RECOVER..
Honestly, the mic is mounted directly to the board on the phone, it is NOT serviceable by anyone on a consumer level and Sprint for a FACT can not fix this in house and will constitue a complete replacement. If your not on sprint, you may want to re-lock and put on stock and call MOTOROLA direct and ask for a warrenty claim. The photon has 3 microphone recivers for noise cancelation and better quality but the bottom one is the one that pics up 99% of souns

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. About flashing something on 2.3.5, I don't mind having the bootloader locked since some P-Roms are enough. But the problems that arises is that the microphone is not bad. After updating to 2.3.5 (by mistake, didn't know all the problems that would bring me), all sounds on system lowered their volumes to, I don't know, 1/4 and that's what I am having right now, the microphone has a very low volume, that's why I thought that it was bad, the loudspeaker can be barely hear and the music sounds the same.
Looking at the web, there're a lot of similar cases after the 2.3.5 update.
There's any way to modify something (with sqlite, root explorer, etc) to fix this? Because besides the volume thing, this phone rocks
Thanks!
It is more merky waters when you have jumped into 2.3.5 with the lack of time for devs to gain access to this software. At this time we are still unable to gain unlocked status on the newest update.. you may want to attempt a factory reset to see if the issue was a bad install. You can also pull the update from xda and push a update to your phone you know is good.. not sure on the % effected with sound quality issues but if its a select set of devices that are having this problem attempt to re install the software would be your only choice until the update is unlocked and you have the ability to modify your complete system..
