I've used a number of other devices, listed below for Skype video calling so these are my benchmarks. I've noted how they performed for me. Does anyone know how the Prime compares to these devices?
iPhone 4 / iPad 2 - Excellent video quality and excellent performance in low light
Galaxy S II - Excellent video quality and good performance in low light
Atrix - Poor video quality and poor performance in low light

all of that is dependent on your data connection speed and the other parties connection speed also. Skype adjustsvthe quality n such based on the best/optimal speeds of both parties.

I want use my bluetooth headphones in doing this on the Prime but with wifi and bluetooth sucking when used together on this device, I know I'm going to get undesirable results.
I've used it to conduct some uh well you know with my chick from my tablet 2 her Dinc II.. works great
However video chat via Google Talk is a FAIL ironically
Can someone help me with this? When I skype, I can only see myself... I can hear the other person and they can see me but there is not a second window for me to see them... What am I doing wrong?
I'm unable to see video at all, any ideas? I think the skype APP either doesn't support ICS yet, or doesn't support the prime.
Anyone else?
I've got both the Prime and the Galaxy S2, the S2 seems to have better quality. The front cam of the Prime is not Prime, it's only 1.3 MP. Plus Skype implementation is not including Tegra 3 optimizations, as the NEOS instructions on them work a bit different I think. In direct comparison between the SGS2 and the Prime, video calls with a MacBook Pro on the same WiFi were better with the SGS2 in terms of lag and stability. Video quality may just have seemed better on the SGS2 thanks to the smaller screen, but the video received on the MBP from the SGS 2 was better. Seems there is too much processing/too little optimization on the Prime.
Ok so does that mean it works or doesnt on your prime with ICS? Because I can't get it to work.
No, it doesn't work reliably.

I've noticed that my streaming video quality on the touchpad leaves a lot to be desired. I've talked to my buddy and he told me he hasn't really noticed anything wrong with it on his. Without actually using his Touchpad, I don't know if it's just me being overly anal, or if there is something really wrong with mine.
Does anyone else get a lot of pixelation when watching online videos?
no issues here. quality looks good. with it overclocked the video is smooth and sweet.
I wish there was an hdmi port to stream when im away from home with no access to my ps3 or xbox
they need a netflix app
This is what my youtube quality looks like. This is full screen at 720p.

I think if you follow the tweak guide here:
http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Featu...-tuning-and-speeding-up-your-hp-touchpad.aspx
and install Preware . in there there is a HULU fix that was posted. I downloaded & installed it have fantastic streaming quality now. Cheers
Thanks, but that video I posted has all those tweeks done, and the hulu fix applied. I think I'm just going to unload this thing as the main reason I bought it was for videos and it just isn't up to the level I was expecting.

quality could be attributed to your connection and what is configured on the router you are connected to.
The new build of Skype has added video calling support for a number of new devices, including the Photon. It's about time!
Just did a video call between my Evo 3d and photon. Photon seems to have much better ffc video quality, even though I believe it's lower resolution?

My MoPho works better for Skype and Gtalk video than any other phone I've used.

My 3G calls were choppy and not so hot, but both 4G and WiFi looked a whole lot better for me. I'll test more this weekend.
My MoPho doesn't enter in the skype (as my O2X). Skype doesn't accept user name or password. User name and password is absolutely correct - I was checking it and entered on the computer and on the site repeatedly. Any ideas ?
I am on 3G in Minneapolis and just tried skype video chat with my girlfriend. She was on iPhone 4. The call was very smooth. Love it!
Tried it out with two photons in a sprint store on 4g and the quality was horrible my qik works way better.

I downloaded it and did some Skype Calls. Worked great and looked great. I really don't understand the complaints, unless they were in a bad coverage area.
I have had Skype crash (stopped working) several times. I just deleted it and downloaded it.
Not bad for a first draft with video. Did not take them that long to get it out.
I have the photon and the epic and the camera is way better on the photon when using skype,,,,
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Is anyone else experiencing problems with Skype video? When I made a call using version 2.5, which I believe is the first version that works with the cams on the Photon, the other person's video is rotated by 90 degrees to landscape mode when I'm viewing it in portrait mode. When I turn the phone to landscape mode, the other person's video rotates again to portrait mode. This means that the other person's video feed is always sideways and rotated 90 degrees from what it should be. The other person I spoke to on video said the same problem happened with them but it was on an EVO.
Am I alone in this or have any of you experienced the same problem?
I also have the same issue and it annoys the crap out of me. I thought i was the only one.

Hey guys I've read some posts, reviews and watched some video samples of the Amaze and from what I can tell..it's true, the audio recording on this phone is horrible.
I wanted to ask if anyone from this forum could compare it to the MT4G?
That's the phone I am currently using now and want to know how does it measure up to the MT4G's audio recording when shooting video.
I ask because I record a lot of videos with my MT4G and it's important that the audio quality on the Amaze isn't less than my phone.
1080p would be awesome to have (mine has 720p) but I don't want to sacrifice audio quality.
So with that being said, could anyone tell me from personal experience whether it's worse or better when compared to MT4G?
Thanks a lot.
I would ask if you are so concerned for professional reasons and then I realized a pro would use a real camera...
Not trying to be a prick or anything. Just curious.
What is with the concern of how well the audio is recorded off your phones camera?

Because I don't own a point and shoot camera so I rely on my phone to do all the recording.

Cause if you have kids that young you should know the audio is the most important part!! They say some of the craziest things. Lol.
Anyway, thanks for asking though. I don't mind explaining. Do you have any thoughts here?

If you want good audio quality on a phone camcorder, you're not going to have any luck with HTC, put simply. The Amaze is a fantastic phone and video quality is among the best out there, but audio has never been HTCs strong point. If you're looking for great audio, I'd suggest looking into a Motorola device, though T-Mobile really doesnt support Moto anymore it seems. If you do go with Motorola, just know that video quality will not be the best on most, at least from what I've seen. The Razr looks solid on both fronts. Then there's the iPhone 4S, which undoubtedly has the best of both worlds. Either way, I'll stick with the Amaze. I love it in every way.

The audio quality is very good. But not stellar. Much depends on the source. If you use badly compressed mp3 files and cheap earbuds don't expect much. The phone can play .flac files if you install a 3rd party player like PowerAMP. That combined with a good set of headphones (I'm using Klipsch, which are also very good but not stellar) then the audio quality is more than adequate.

Why don't you take you're kids to a t-mobile and take some test videos too compare? Seems Luke that would be the easiest thing for you to do and you would not have to rely on any the opinion of someone else.

As far as recording, the audio is just as good as my vibrant...take that as you may--I am not a huge video guy. Plus, once you record, you can edit the audio on your pc.
PowerAmp is the single, most important app for me...in the car, at work, everywhere, the output is amazing.

Beats Audio
Do you know if Beats Audio will be in the Amaze anytime soon or in the dev posts?
audio seem ok to me...I had the SGS2 which only provides MONO audio, and audio quality seemed good . This phone provides mono and Stereo so I played around with it and when I put it on mono audio the sound quality is much better, but then again you get mono....So It might have something to do with the extra microphones trying to pick up extra sound and cutting out the background noise....Personally I feel the sound on the Amaze is much more clear with high treble, than the SGS2, is the only phone I can compare it to. sound on SGS2 was muffled a little. also the speakerphone on the back and front of the HTC device sound much less muffled than My SGS2, I have no experience with motrola or any other brank of phone.

I installed a app from the marketplace called Volume+, it was less than 2 dollars. But you can go to the dev website and download it for free. It boost up the volume from the audio playing from the loudspeaker and headset. I don't know if it will boost the recorded incoming audio. To me I had the MT4G rooted with a sense 3.0 Rom and I already love this amaze. As long as your hand doesn't block the microphones on the phone it is fine. Plus for 15 dollars you can buy the adapter to hook up to your tv and watch the glorious 1080p via HDMI. Also my Amaze is all stock. Plus the reception and call quality is very good.

This may seem odd but I found that, to me at least, it sounds better with the "stereo recording" off. That's how my MT4G videos sound.
Anyway, volume is not the problem here. It's sound quality.
I get the best recording with an app called rec forge, mono, wav and 22khz sample rate. The stereo recording does not improve the fidelity of the sound. I have yet to try an external Mic.

Hi guys
I have a problem with streaming TV's over the internet. If their quality is mid to high level, I see only "slideshow" but more often i see only one frame and the picture freezes. I tried to open streams with vplayer and daroon player and both of them got this problem. With software decoder or HW decoder noting changes. It's always impossible to watch any high quality tv's. Not HD tv's. Just a normal high quality streams - 600-700Kb/s... Where might be the problem and the solution of this, or this is normal for our beloved ace's?
I've got two friends with Galaxy 5 and Xperia X8, and they both watch those streams without any single lag... and their phones are much more weaker than our Ace (imo)...
Could it be from the rom i'm currently using (in my signature)? Or its always like that? Could it be from the processor can't handle the high speed streams? My processor is oc at 825Mhz.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks
P.S: Of course I downloaded any proper codecs for those players and anything needed to stream, but... I could give you a stream link to try, but i'm not sure if it's visible outside my country...
Hello my friend...wht connection u used? I think the problem is from server streaming...in my case i never got lag or freeze but the picture is not good but its ok....i use wifi with 1 mbps adsl...

Well it doesn't really matter what connection i use, since i tried high quality streams with 50Mb/s wi-fi (my home network) and with 3G mobile data (my provider's data plan ~500-600kbps). The result is always the same - lag. But I'm not talking about the lag like when internet is slow, but lag like when the processor isnt powerful enough to handle the frames per second or something like that. Hope u understand what I mean... It's really specific lag, like when your pc or laptop is not that powerful and lags into huge video files... I do not know the exact technical terms to say them here...
Note that if the stream is low quality i dont have problem at all, well, except the worst video quality which is normal when the stream is about 200-300kbps...
Note also that I tried a bunch of high quality streams and they all react the same...
I'm starting to think that this came from my current ROM... or may be the processor is really sucks about that kind of operations... damned x8 can stream without single drop-frame high quality streams, and all I can do is... turn off my phone and watch tv on my friend sony ericsson phone))

Hi guys,
I went to Best Buy yesterday and got to try your Asus Prime. Wow! I was impress by the speed and the Ics. I was gonna buy it but they freshed out.
However, I did some reading on your Q&A add I see that the little ***** is giving you some trouble. Is it that bad, is it happening to everybody? I currently own a gtb 7510. Is not bad. I have a custom rom Task14 and oc'd to 1.4 with petshoots kernel. Still, the Asus is pretty impressive with its speed is very responsive and the display is beautifull.
Gtap is ok but its still not @ par with the ipad2. I think the asus prime (the one I tried) does size up to the ipad3.
So, is everyone here having issues with the ATP?
Thank you.
Edit- I'm asking all this because I'm still on time to return my gtab.

welll for me my Asus TF Prime been good do far. Had it for about 3 weeks.
I'm in the UK btw.
Everything is working and running smoothly on this tablet. No crashes whatsoever.
I guess it depends are lucky you are. For me I am lucky i have a 100% perfect Tablet.
But then every product I have brought by far has been good to me apart from the dell streak 5 which lasting for 2 monthes the screen suddenly broke!
I say go ahead buy this tablet, You won't regret it. Did I mention that this tablet looks sexy too!
It does look sexy!
It sure runs everything you throw at it.
I got 1080p .mkv files to play which I couldn't on my first Transformer.
It runs my playstation games great too (emu)
Wireless gamepad (BT) on the go. I am using the ps3 pad.
I do use onlive on my tablet and it is amazing.
Free splashscreen software which I stream my pc desktop to my Prime at times. Can play CS:S on it lol
web surfing is fine by far. No hipcups.
Incredible super IPS+. Makes this look comparable to the new ipad with the brightness full & IPS+
I would use my Prime to type on here but I am currently using it to watch the Engadget podcast lol
Using the keyboard dock is nice. typing won't be as good as what you get on your keyboard but will pass. the batt is amazing. Surfing the net, checking my email, movie watching (1-2) will last me a whole day. when I am playing games and watching movies (2-3), listening to music it will last about 5-6 hours for me. ALL THESE NOT DOCKING THE TABLET INTO THE KEYBOARD DOCK.

I got mine 1 week ago in Germany, got a C20 serial, and it works perfectly, the GPS is not the best one i have used but does works. Locks relative fast to 10 sat's with no wifi.
Wifi is fast, i get all my 32mb internet speed while testing with Speedtest.net, Bluetooth works wonders.
While using BT a2dp and wifi my internet does get slow but the connection never drops.
Screen quality is amazing and using EZOverclock increased the Performance speed to 1.6ghz making video and gaming experience really good.
I'm very happy with my transformer, I'd buy it again without even thinking.
Edit: video and gaming was perfect even before OC, i just wanted the extra power ^^
It has been a great experience for me. I have no problems with my device. It has nice feel about it and your hands will seldom get tired of holding it with extended use. The battery just keeps going and going.
Mine has also been great and is an early one. Everything works fine and even got gps locks the one time I tested it, haven't needed it since so it has been off for months. Wifi is fine on it so have absolutely no complaints, I really enjoy it.
get it! lol. had my prime since 12/22 and hasn't let me down yet. been using it nonstop. I came fro IOS/Ipad to the prime. The difference in speed, power, and everything is night n day better than my Ipad. if you get one now, chances very slim to get one with issues some experienced. its more than worth it. I'm still amazed at how well mines work and how thin and light this tablet is. plus the battery lasts long as a mofo.
Get it, its a great device I'm really pleased with mine. No issues with it although this is number 3. First 2 had bright spots on the screen when using a white background so make sure u check the screen very closely right away

I'm really pleased with my Prime. I do get the occasional browser stutter but, apart from that, performance has been fine. I would say that it seemed more reliable once I took Chrome off and re-installed Flash (but this may just be coincidence!). GPS performance is the same as for other people i.e. iffy at best!
Only complaints from me are stock browser stutter, WiFi performance drops off considerably if I use my PS3 controller via BT at the same time, and screen glare (this thing is shiny)!
So I just use another browser besides stock, and use the controller with games that don't need WiFi, or if they do, I switch to my Logitech usb controller.
I've had mine for about 3 weeks, and just had a random reboot last night. I'm completely fine with that, my iPad 2 had a few random reboots in it's time as well.
I installed an anti-glare screen, which works fine.
The keyboard dock is great..!
The only issues I've had with my tablet were caused from unstable custom ROMs like CM9 KANG and AOKP Milestone 4. I'm currently running stock and haven't had any issues. I'll be waiting until an official build of AOKP or CM9 comes to the Prime before switching back away from stock.

Hi guys,
I went to Best Buy yesterday and got to try your Asus Prime. Wow! I was impress by the speed and the Ics. I was gonna buy it but they freshed out.
However, I did some reading on your Q&A add I see that the little ***** is giving you some trouble. Is it that bad, is it happening to everybody? I currently own a gtb 7510. Is not bad. I have a custom rom Task14 and oc'd to 1.4 with petshoots kernel. Still, the Asus is pretty impressive with its speed is very responsive and the display is beautifull.
Gtap is ok but its still not @ par with the ipad2. I think the asus prime (the one I tried) does size up to the ipad3.
So, is everyone here having issues with the ATP?
Thank you.
Edit- I'm asking all this because I'm still on time to return my gtab.

The issues with the Prime are fairly overblown.
Most people don't have a single complaint with regards to their Prime. The vast majority of people who come to XDA looking to talk about the Prime are people who are having some kind of issue they want to resolve and aren't really representative of the overall community or Prime owners.
My experience is that WiFi is just fine. Nearly as good as my Windows laptop and better than my Galaxy S2 phone. It even works well when I am streaming music to a set of Bluetooth headphones.
I have a very slight light bleed in one corner that is only noticeable on the boot screen. However compared to my Dell laptop the light bleed would probably be considered non-existent. Viewing angles, color, saturation etc are all very good.
GPS doesn't work for Navigation which is why Asus removed it from the feature list, however it works perfectly fine for location-based services like Search.
In general there is nothing to complain about. The Prime is very good product and it has basically replaced my laptop as my go-to device for web browsing, email and light office work. If you combine it with the keyboard dock it is an even more useful device and battery life is stellar when compared to any similar laptop/tablet.
I honestly believe that the Prime is one of the best and most useful tablet devices available right now. The only reason that I might want to wait on purchasing it is to see what the TF Infinity will be like. The TF Infinity should be nearly identical to the Prime, but will have a better screen and possible better GPS. It will also cost $100 more.

lol..
You have to remember that the people complaining are a small fraction of the total userbase.
The problem with internet ratings is that when you have a problem, you'll be dam sure to look it up and post in the appropriate forum, blog, website.. whatever.
If you have no issue, why would you bother to look for the websites?
My prime is awesome, no issues whatsoever.
I'm only here because I happen to develop some minor stuff for another device on Android and now own a prime. but I'm the small percentage saying this thing rocks.

No matter which XDA Device thread you read, you will be scared to hell. I mean if I would have a problem with my TFP I would post here, because there are tons of competent people around here.
Never fix your buy-decision on the xda threads of the device. I was happy with the last 3-4 phones I've had, but when I check the xda forums for them it seems like I'm the only one who was happy at all
