Hi there,
I bough a htc eris to have a nice skype phone while traveling. The problem is that skype is choppy.
I am using skype from the market.
I tried : using stock, using froyo, ginger bread and few roms, I tried skype installed on the sd card, off the sdcard, tried to overclock the phone, underclock it, played around in the audio setting, tried without the proximity sensor, with headphones etc... but the problem is so similar from one version to another that I doubt it's the actual os.
I tried the audio to listen to music and that was flawless...
The problem is that skype is really choppy - the person I call hears me ok, but I loose little bit of conversation ... when it's a recorded message it's even worst for some reason.
Does anyone uses the Eris HTC with wifi only and have a good skype connectivity ? (It would help to find that out first). If so what version are you using? Anyone else have trouble with skype wifi on the eris ?
Thanks

Hi, I seem to be having a problem with my phone and I can't seem to resolve it. Back speaker works perfectly while playing music, playing game and watching youtube videos. Also works fine when I set a ringtone and it plays a sample. But when I receive a call instead of the back speaker ringing it is the front one that ring, yes the earpiece. I was wondering if anyone has an idea how to fix this?
I'm currently using a default android ringtone.
Using the stock JK6 Rom with the JL1 Baseband and the Stock JK6 Kernel injected with Voodoo 5.X
I can't say for sure which of these flashing caused the problem since I flashed them all one after another unable to test and detect such problem.
Thanks.
Resolved! It's a behavior of the WiFi Calling App, guess I'll have to install another one.
Hello all! I searched around a bunch and couldnt find anyone else with this same problem (I checked the threads suggested by the forum before I posted this). If there is another thread out there, please someone link it.
I am having big issues with Youtube (Ive tried the latest ap 2.4.4 too). When I use the Youtube Ap I can sometimes watch part of a video, and sometimes watch a video and a half, before the video freezes, the sound turns into a very loud "errrrrrrrr" noise (I dont know how to describe it, its a loud tone similar to the tone the old Nintendo NES would make if it messed up), and then the phone restarts after another few seconds of the tone. I tried using Opera and viewing the video that way and it just froze once it got to the video and restarted the phone, no tone.
So far I have tried Omega ROM and Elegencia ROM and am getting the same issue with both. I tried 3 or 4 different radios with the same problem.
If it is needed, I am using the data connection to do this, not Wifi.
Has anyone else had this issue or are there any solutions?
Thanks for the help!

try it on android just for testing if there difference
Hello.. My wife has a samsung galaxy s vibrant, with a front facing camera, when she opens the dialer, she has the option to click on video call for video. I just bought a motorola atrix and it does not have the same, and they tell me to use tango or another third party app. I am confused, does the atrix not support video calling through the cell phone network ? Whe she tried to video call me it fails...
Can someone clarify please.
You would need to be over wifi on the atrix. T-mobile is the only company that let's you do video calls with out wifi. Also, she uses what's called qik. If you don't have qik on the atrixs then you would need to use a 3rd party app such as tango. I believe through that specific app you both would need to be on wifi. Hope that helps.

Use Tango, QIK is just not as stable and it doesn't work well on the Vibrant FFC
You both should have a tango account (free) then you can open Tango and just call, It will take about 15-30 secs to make video connection after it hooks up in the call (Faster if both of you are on Wi-fi). Then talk away and oogle at your wife, girlfriend, pet Aardvark...etc. (assuming the Aardvark has a tango account too).
I use it quite a bit with my wife it is kinda cool. And, I solely use it over 3G and it works in my area pretty well without lag.
Hope that helped.
Thanks guys, But what does her phone use when she clicks video call instead of call when normally dialing a number in the default dialer? thats what I am trying to use with her, video over 3g, I pay 5$/month for video calling, but i dont think my motorola supports it. im trying to avoid 3rd party so i can use it without wifi, and without running up data..
I returned my atrix already and waiting for another galaxy S, not just because of video, I did not like motoblur, and also, for some odd reason, when i try to voice dial over bluetooth, I have to unlock the phone first.. which i find very stupid, i dont want to touch my phone when im using my headset.
Just to add, I did try tango, and I think its not supported on the atrix because it all worked, but the voice was so choppy it sounded like slow motion, video did work.
I also tried qik, but for some reason, It wont call my wife, says she doesnt have it, and she cant call me, for the same reason, altho we are both signed on..
Thanks guys.

you MAY want to try and check out/ talk in the Atrix section of this forum... We vibrant users may not know as much about the phone as the people who actually have it.
Ask them if there's a rom/app that would let you do video chats.
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.
From today, Skype is out of beta. But I still can't activate video chat on my Mozart. Just wanted to know if it is only me or anyone else is also facing this issue.
Video chat is working with my.Mozart. but I'm using the back camera.

Thanks kkcheong.
I tried video chatting at a higher speed WiFi (256kbps) and it worked without any problem. Earlier I was using 30kbps. Lesson- Video chat on Skype on WP7 doesn't work well at low speed.
Mods please close this thread if they see it fit.
It works great, we use the back camera !!!!
on this topic has anyone been able to use the earpiece to listen to other people though skype? because whenever i try and even press the speaker button on skype it just plays through the main speaker
