Video Chat - HTC Rezound

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.

Google talk is what I use the most.

No problem lol. I've never used Gtalk before.

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.

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Try using "Qik for atrix "
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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.

I have no idea if potatoman's custom camera mod has any flaws,
but I do know for a fact that the stock camera in our SGS2 phones
do achieve the full 30fps in all video recording modes except in the
very highest HD video mode where it only achieves approx 25fps
which is really excellent too.
Check it out yourselves using a windows app called MediaInfo, it's a
free download: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MediaInfo
It adds an option in explorer so when you right click on a video file it will
add an option called "mediainfo" and all you do is click that and a box will
popup with useful information about the video including exact frame rates.

When you do make these new fps tests, be sure to make two of them.
One at the highest video settings which is HD 1080p it's at the top of the
list which normally is the default setting.
Then go down one step to the second choice in the list which is HD 720p.
You will find that the HD 720p setting will achieve the full 30fps while
the the highest settings HD 1080p in the list achieves at least 25fps.
(which is very good too)
Okay I am aware of this the mod I spoke of guess you 30fps on highest setting 1080p which is what I was wondering if anyone has tested it seems I might be the first also will back up current files

Camera on that particular rom seems snappier and higher clarity.
Haven't tried any videos yet I know pic quality is awesome but need to do a video for it I did read audio is better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Did anyone ever try this out for the I777? I noticed on Potatoman's old thread that he now recommends the lgcamera app from the market. Is this hack baked into any of the roms here, or was that just something that the OGS2 devs added?
I use to use that camera in my rom but it had issue with 1080p focusing and also had audio/video sync issues. I believe that was due to the fps hack.
So I modded mine to up the audio only for both 720p/1080p.

Moblynx has taken the ICS camera app, tweaked it with some added features, and added support for 2.2/2.3 phones. There is a free version with ads or $.99 for the non-ad version. IThere's a short review over on Android Central, and it's called "Camera ICS" on the market. I'd post links but I can't do that yet.

(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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

Does anyone know how to disable it from showing up on the Widget Locker lockscreen? I'm trying to have it so that I have to unlock the phone to see the pop up, but it's not working for me. I put com.ninja.sms in the disable popups thing but it still pops up.
Bought it. It force closes after minimal use on our device. Stock sense 4.

Very odd. I've given it a good 2 hours of total texting use since yesterday on a Sense 5 ROM with no force closing at all. Try re-installing it?

Bought it and it works super fast. New update today with pop up color changes. Dev is very responsive and hopes to make a full sms ap soon. Worth the try!

Trying out this app one thing I don't get is how do I send messages? And is there away to see all my messages using ninja app? Or is this app only a quick text reply app.
Edit: so I guess it's just a quick reply app.

Why pay for this when it does the same thing as facebook messenger . .? Or does it do anything that the chat heads doesn't do bc I can watch YouTube or be on xda and when someone txt me I can't reply quickly to that person or multiple people

This was available before chat heads was so that's part of it.
Also chat heads has seemed laggy to me when typing multiple messages where I don't have that issue with this.

This is a pretty neat app. I think it's pretty useful I like the pop ups. Works with Verizon messaging app and obviously stock. They really should come out with a full message app.

The latest update fixed the stability issues I was having. I'm on my phone 24/7 so the 'chat heads style' icons rock.

Best SMS app I've tried.
I'm very picky with sms apps as I don't like the idea of sharing my my sweet nothings with someone else's server (paranoia alert!) but, this app does what I want without that fear. I like the idea of picking who it alerts to and that I can keep my chats minimised while doing other things. I use sms flash and this app works really well with it as I use that app to alert me for pin codes and everyone else (because I don't use the reply feature) and Ninja for the important peeps. Cheers Dev!

It doesn't popup on lockscreen though. I find that a must have feature that gosms has. I would also like to initiate a conversation on it and you can't.
Stay thirsty, my friends
