I've been trying to use Google+ hangout video with a few friends. I can't hear them at all. Even worse, the audio on their end, coming from me, sounds like a machine gun.
Anyone else have/had this problem? Is there a known solution?

I also have the same problem. Did you find a solution? From what I have read on the google help pages Nexus and Thunderbolt users have the same problem as well./.
No solution yet. Can't really find anything about this..
Happening to my 2 RAZRs as well. Tested with sprint evo and a t t infuse.... those didn't have the audio issue. Work around is to mute your end..... so you have silent video one way

Glad to see I'm not the only one running into the issue.
I can't get any answers on Google either. This sucks. I think hangout video is pretty sweet. Organizing events would be great if you can see and talk to multiple people at the same time.
Any solutions yet?

I am also having this problem. I did a hard reset and it had no effect.
Same here. So far 100% in this thread ...

same problem here
I'm on rogers network.
I tried a video chat on Skype and it's okay
The problem seem to be a compatibility between the RAZR and Google hangout.
This is how i fix the problem on my brothers razor . take all you contacts and save them you sd card then to computer. after that delete all of you contacts off phone. After that go to you gmail account and in-port the numbers you saves back your Google account you phone will sync and probem should be fixed will at least it was for me. he was also having problems setting individual ring tones this will fix that problem also.
Seems like the update fixed this on my phone. Works like a charm now.

Just as the title says. Wife and I try to video chat, can only see our own video showing in the corner. Have tried on 3g 4g and wifi with all the same result. No errors, just can't see the other persons video. Also tried this with multiple phones that support it with the same result. Any ideas?

my brother and I frequently do it; he has a droid 3 and i've got the rezound. thing is, the quality is utter **** and just never works well.....then again, maybe that's because he's out in wyoming, but who knows. skype was a little better for us, though
I have 2 Rezounds, video chat works on both with GTalk and Skype.

Hmm, skype video chat does work. Even does pretty good with the iPhone that a buddy has. This is just odd now....
Haven't tried skype but gtalk and tango are working fine.
I have tried Skype, Talk, and Google+ Hangout from my Rezound to a Rezound/Bionic/DInc2 and all of them work flawlessly. Not always best video quality, but they all work. Check your settings that you are actually sending video.
can you tell any us anymore information? was this over wifi? did you hear any audio? etc?
So I'm actually having this problem too.
I start google talk on the droid 3, click on the video icon next to somebody's name that supports vid chat. Screen goes black for a split second, then returns to the google talk contacts screen.
Interestingly, google hangout with google+ works great. As do tango and skype.
I'll post logcat output here in a bit.....

Did you happen to try skype video while on an ics rom? Or were you on GB?
attached are logs that (i think) show the crash
sorry for the gz, wanted to do pastebin, but apparently I can't post external links yet!!

GB, but I just noticed that this thread is for Rezound. I'm on hitting this on Droid3, so not only have I resurrected a dead thread, but I've accidentally hijacked a thread in the wrong forum too.
sorry.
(wonder if any info is usable from the logs?)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm having this same issue on my new Galaxy S4. Did anyone ever resolve this?
Hi I've been unable to find anything on google or another thread about this issue or even anything similar with other phones.
I got my xperia s yesterday and i love it (Altho i miss ICS, but thats for another thread) but i've got a software problem with gmail app which if i cant fix will result in me sending the phone back.
Here's a video i recorded, as its easier to watch than explain
[edit] of course , new user cant post youtube vid, the gmail flickers real bad, likes its trying to open. to the point were its un-usable. the video is stil easier to see the problem so "youtu.be/cKRchUVNyvE"
During at no point did i exit the app. even if it looks like that from the video.
What i've try to fix this.
1. Clear app data
2. Clear app cache
3. Restarted phone.
Theres no updates for either gmail app or the phone.
and if it helps on T-mobile UK
So i'm at a loss. Any suggestions?
I have exactly the same problem. Not solution yet. It's really annoying.
Apparently Gmail is having problems, there's a workaround posted on lifehacker.
Thanks riggsuk
Thats interesting i had assumed it was the phone as my desire ICS (old phone) was fine and none of my m8's with android phones has reported any problems.
It's a general gmail bug. Seems not to affect everyone. I have it on my xps and desire. Friends xps is fine, so is my girlfriends desire hd.
Google is aware of the issue. Should be fixed soon.

I cannot get video to work on Skype on my S3. Video is enabled in Skype Settings but still no joy. Has anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it? I can't find any thread about this. This is a deal breaker for me. If Skype doesn't work I will reluctantly return the S3 during my 14-day trial period.
Thanks
Works fine here. Just tested video calling 3G and WiFi with no problems.
Finger trouble or firmware version?
Skype v2.8.0.920
Edit:
The other party (Recipient) must also have video enabled.
You could also lower the video quality and test.

works fine here as well.
Thanks for the replies. Still a mystery. I have the latest firmware and the other party definitely has video enabled. I switched to other devices and it worked fine. The front camera does work but there's no option to select when I make a Skype call (over WiFi). If the other party calls me I can see the options but it still doesn't work and returns to a black screen. Lower-res test done as well but no luck.
I just can't see what's preventing a video call. I can do this quite successfully from my tablet, old phone and desktop but not the S3. I have uninstalled and downloaded the software again but it still doesn't work. Grrrrr!
Try a video call on Gtalk to test. Obviously check video is enabled in its settings for both parties.
If working, try wipe data/cache in settings/applications/downloaded or all/Skype. You well need to setup Skype settings, login etc again.
If still no good, reinstall Skype
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I did clear the cache. And one other thing: I can't close Skype. I have to use a Force Stop to quit the application. I've tried this several times and it always remains running unlike any other program I close (eg, swiping to the left from the running programs list). It doesn't show up in the task manager as a running program but the icon is still there on the top left of the phone. I wonder if some other process/application is interfering with it.
It's reassuring that Skype is working for others. I'm on O2 - could they have set up something to prevent Skype working? That's not my experience with other phones from O2 and I doubt that is the problem.
So did you try Gtalk (to confirm the problem is just with the Skype app) and also reinstall fresh from Google Play?..........

I haven't been able to find anyone to use gTalk with - everyone I seem to know has an iPhone/iPad!
Still no luck with Skype. I'm new to Android so not entirely confident about flashing Rom. I'll try to find out from Skype if there is an S3 issue.
Thanks everyone for suggestions so far

Here are a few compatible apps for video calling between iPhone and Android

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem with Skype, so I thought I'd post here because Skype users are likely to read it ! :
Outgoing voice-only calls seem to work OK, but when I answer an incoming call, the GS3 screen goes completely black (regardless as to whether the phone was by my face or not).
I tried pressing buttons etc, didn't seem to be able to get it back until the caller hung up.
On a plus note, the call quality was great, but I really do need to be able to hang up the call!
Am I missing something obvious?
According to my tests, Skype video works when I'm connected to WiFi but I was never able to do the same under 3G.
I'm on a high bandwidth connection..but the person on the other side keeps saying that the video quality is ****ty. I have the Video Qualty setting on 'High'. The recieving quality is just great. Its only the video sent from my end. Is it the same for everyone? or just me?

Maybe you're upload speed has something to do with it, also tinge of day and network congestion (mobile towers overloaded).
Check your upload speed with speed test app

Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.
Either way we as consumers suffer

Does any one use custom notifcations for their phone and notice that it cuts short? I have the "Cloud" sound from the Galaxy S 2 but I notice it doesn't play the sound completely. I also have the "Gamma" sound from sense and the phone doesn't completely play that either. When I play either of the sounds from the Sound Player app it plays completely but when I receive a new text it cuts the sound short.
i'm having this same issue
Has anyone else at least noticed this? This is very annoying :\
Same issue, my custom notification ringtone would cut off. I posted it on another thread. The only fix is using zedge for now which was recommended by another user.
***The zedge experiment didnt work. Notification ringtones started to cut off. :/
Ok now it's working again. Extremely confused!

Hey! I think you're on to something. I sent myself a text from my Google voice number and it played the full sound clip. I had my friend text me (I have 200 messages in that thread) and it cut the sound short when I got the text. I wonder what would cause that though...
Same problem here.
