Today I wanted to use skype (the newest version) on my flyer with videochat, I recently upgraded my flyer (BB version) to honeycomb and didnt use skype since then.
Well i know that skype was working completely on Gingerbread, but when i tried videochat today, the camera lighted up (the small green led besides it) and voice and everything worked, however i was not able to get a picture of my camera.
Does anybody have skype working with the flyer and the release version of honeycomb?
Or does anyone know whats causing the problem?
Best regards
Marius

I have the BB Wifi Flyer and Skype works perfectly including both cameras, for me on HC offical release, rooted.
What version HC are you using?
The standard stock release version that globatron posted in his thread. So its the official HTC release with root.
Ill try wiping the skype data and see if it works then. Its really weird, can't use either of the cameras it just gives me a black screen nothing else
Ok I got it fixed, I just wiped the data reinstalled skype and now it works ... weird.
Has anybody managed to get Skype to work with a bluetooth headset and mic?
I can pair and use my BT headset for listening to media files and can make a Skype test call but the audio bounces back to the speakers after the first word..?
Skype has some weirdness with Bluetooth on many devices and since the phone functions for Flyers are not yet working in HC, the Bluetooth profiles may not be fully functional as well.

I've found another problem with Skype on the Flyer.
Audio during a call is only mono.
This is true for both a wired headset and the speakers....
Any ideas?

The Audio from the other called? Isn't it coming through a single mic? How could it be stereo?

What I should have said was that audio only comes thru on one channel. The left side only when using the speakers, earphones or a headset w/Mic.
When I use Skype on my android phone it comes through on both channels, same with the pc too.
The audio routing and libraries are a god awful mess in linux and therefore android. Who knows if its a Skype problem or a htc or a HC problem. At least it works, even this is a miracle in Android audio
I think it must be an HTC problem. I called tech support and they gave the standard answer that it might be resolved in a future update...
i have a lag on my front camera anyone else experience this with the hc upgrade? i tried wiping skype and reinstalling but its not helping...any fix for this??
I am experiencing the same lag on my View (running stock HC). The lag appears on both front and back cameras. I've tested the front cam video with Google Video Chat and it works much better.
Can someone else please let us know how SKype video is working on their View/Flyer, on official HC, GB or other ROM?
Thanks
I use stock GB and all appears to be fine - other than the sound only coming through on one channel (left side).
Are any of you guys getting sound on left and right channels during a call?
Stock HC , rooted, it just works. Just installed and both front and back cameras work fine.

Is anyone successfully using Fring on a Vibrant? I have a rev 2 ffc installed, Bi-Winning V2 and Fring used to work pretty well. I can't say exactly when, but sometime in the last month or so it started having problems with mic volume. I make a test call, and I can hear myself, but just barely. People I call complain about being barely able to hear me. The camera works fine.
I see that some people are saying that Fring is working with CM7. I was wondering if there are any other roms that Fring might be working well with? Or if anyone has any idea how to adjust the mic input? Thanks!
Funny you should ask that I was starting to think I was going crazy. My mic volume was fine before but I flash new roms a lot and don't really check if the mic volume is working properly. But for some reason I am having the same issues... camera works fine but mic volume is really low. I don't remember which rom I had that had the mic sound working properly and can't seem to find one that does.
Strangely enough, using the voice recorder records my voice at the expected volume. I started to think my phone got busted somehow. I tried increasing mic sensitivity on the voodoo sound app but that doesn't work either.
Maybe it's a fring issue. I'll try another video chat app and report back if I find something else.
Currently I am running Bi-Winning v3.
Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether I should update to Bi-Winning v 3.0 to solve the problem.
I beleive this is a Fring thing. I've gone so far as to pull and older version of Fring out of an old Titanium backup and installed that apk. (v 2.4.4.2). The older version seems to work better, although the mic volume is still not great. I think that I would have viewed it as OK in the past, though.
If you'd like to try the older apk, let me know and I'll post it somewhere.
I have searched the past threads and did not see any about bluetooth audio issue. I have 2 plantronics headsets that both Paired properly paired 2XXPlantronics and a 220Plantronics. I am on stock GB. Is there an app or setting that I am missing to push all audio through the bluetooth? I tried super Mono but that just stopped audiop playback on my X2 and did not give me any audio through my headset. I have tried with both headsets. Thanks in advance. I think after some review this is a gingerbread issue but with all the developers hear I am hoping there is a fix or some can come up with a fix.
The headsets must support media audio in addition to phone audio. This has been the case since day one. If your headset only supports phone audio, it won't for example pay music. Don't know if anyone has tried tweaking the bluetooth stack to get around this, but the limitation has existed since before smartphones came around.

Anyone got the (stock) fm radio to go over BT?
I use a Plantronics 3XX. On my old HTC Touch Pro II, I could play music thru it with a particular setting in WM 6.5 and I think even WM 6.1 had it too. My thoughts are that it's more an Android issue regarding routing.
[EDIT] - I found on Market an app called Bluetooth Switcher for $2.99 that might work. There is also a FREE trial version for you to try out before making a purchase to see if it works on your hardware.
Bluetooth Switcher trial
Just tried it. Opens and has on/off buttons. It does nothing.
I use a Plantronics pro+.
Yes my headsets have worked with an HTC Imagio (Windows modile 6.5) and on my Dell laptop. I am thinking it is an android issue as well. I tried a friends out whos earpiece had A2DP and it worked fine but I already have a bluetooth headset and do not want to spend any more money. Thanks for all of your responses thus far.

Iirc you must have a regular 3.5 mm jack in to listen to the radio.

You have to have a headset plugged into it because it uses the cord as an antenna. No internal antenna. My Sansa MP3 player's FM radio works the same way.
Now, you can use the speaker on the phone for the radio once you have a headset plugged in. So maybe there's a way to route it thru BT if you have a headset for an antenna.
There is an apk called media switch (pro). It may work but mkt says incompatable w/ dx2. I tried the email purchase but it failed. Mkt does not know what works on MY dx2 as it also said spb shell 3d was incomp. But it works *****great-****. I had to do the email buy.
i can't connect my blue tooth headset with my htc flyer...
it keep showing "paired but not connected"!
im using s.e vh300 headset.
i've tried the htc web site, but still nothing helpful...
could anyone tell me what i should do.....
What are you running (stock, custom rom, rooted)? By default, hands free profile is not enabled.
Once rooted in Gingerbread, there are two lines that need to be edited in build.prop
In Honeycomb, I haven't seen a working hands free profile for my headset yet.

Works on HC and I think also in GB.
1. Download Root Explorer.
2. Launch it and go to /System/build.prop.
3a. Open build.prop in a text editor and edit the following lines:
ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=0
ro.phone.function=1
3b. And edit the following lines to change bluetooth headset profile:
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag_supported = 1
4. Save all the changes made and reboot your device.
My bluetooth headset works perfectly!.
could i do it without rooted???
You will need root access to edit that file. In the above build.prop example, the top part enables telephony. The lower part enables bluetooth hands free profile. On my wifi only Flyer, my bluetooth headset works great with the edit on GB. The same edit does not work for my headset on HC. YMMV, and I'm still working on getting mine working in HC.

Nope. It doesn't. Curious: what headset are you using? My old Plantronics HS was picky even on GB. It won't connect at all on HC using all the same edits. Glad to hear that some headsets work. But debating about whether my headset should work under HC or not won't help the OP, who is on stock GB. The OP can s-off, root, and edit the two lines for HFP and be good to go.
My work fine using the FlyHoney V1 ROM and it also worked in stock GB. My headphones are Lubix model UBHS-NC1.

Cool, but to clarify, we aren't discussing BT stereo audio headphones. Those work out of the box in stock GB. My Rocketfish BT headphones work great also for audio, but we're discussing hands free headsets for making calls, etc.
I am using Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS970, it is a bit old but works perfectly.

Just checking, as I am troubleshooting why my basic Plantronics earpiece won't work under Honeycomb with these edits. I've scoured the internet only to find that most others on Honeycomb tablets haven't been able to get basic HFP headsets to fully work yet.
Do you use your headset for handsfree calls or chat in applications like GrooveIP, or are you just using it to listen to audio? I notice that your Bluetooth headset supports AD2P for stereo audio, which is supported out of the box on the Flyer. Can you confirm that you are also able to use your mic?

I've paired 2 headsets to my Flyer
1. Jabra 325s - pairs but will not attempt to connect whatsoever.
2. Samsung HM3700 - pairs and connects but can only be used to listen to media playback. Skype calls can be made with BT enabled and the sound bounces back to speakers after one word from the test call.
Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:
Hello,
I didn't find other references about this one.
I noticed a really poor and crappy performance when Bluetooth is connected to my audio car system.
I experience subsequent and short connection drops/re-connections, also during phone calls.
In addition:
- audio volume is very low, also when all pumped up.
- I don't get recent inbound and outbound calls and contacts lists sharing.
It's a pity. Other devices work flawlessly, even some old (non smartphone) GSM devices.
Is anyone experiencing something similar?
Thanks for any info.

That's strange, I have BT constantly on as I have the phone paired with a Sony Smartwatch 3, plus I exclusively use my Jabra BT headset during my long commute for music, videos and calls and never had a single problem with the volume level, connection and sound quality.
I had the same problems you have with a damn expensive HTC M9.....
Yeah, that's strange, I suspect the audio system it's just choosy... It's likely that the phone will work OK if I try some other BT device.
I'll do it when possible.
This was just to check if someone else had the same issue.
Thanks!
Yes, I did notice the relatively low volume when I connected the phone to my Vw stereo in my car.
1. Low volume for both music and voice calls compared to my previous phone (ip5c)
2. Also the phone has a problem with avrcp profile, so it cannot display the song name/metadata on the stereo screen !
Connects to car ok but doesnt load the contacts.
ive just discovered this problem also it connects to my sony car system fine but will not load the contacts unlike my sony z1 compact.

I have the same problems in my Skoda Octavia 2015 (no ID3 tags, not possible to change track by the steering wheel buttons, sometimes stuttering, quite poor audio quality when calling). The Honor 7 works perfect with the Skoda, the iPhone from my girlfriend as well.
But I connected the OPX to a Renault and there it worked faultless.
So I don't know where's the problem... maybe the OPX doesn't support all AVRCP versions?
In my Kia AVRCP works with PowerAmp and Deezer. But I still have the same problem with contacts and calls list.
