Video calling - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As nobody wants to repond on my request posted in Jelly Bean Leak official topic, I will try here...
(They prefer to talk about transparency bug which change there life !)
Thanks in advance for your help .
Since I have flashed my phone with Jelly Bean leaks, I can't make video calls. All work fine with Google+ for example, but my question is about the original android phone dialer.
This feature works well before the transition to Jelly Bean, in the same place, with the same network carrier and last, the same network settings.
Can anybody try video calling (if it's free/include in your plan and if you have friend to call with video). I don't know if it's an issue on JBleak or an issue with my phone carrier.

Nobody use it ? You bought SGS3 only to go on the internet ?

Is your 3g on? Is the person you're calling also on 3g?

First thank you for your anwser !
After that, yes my data is on. The phone indicates "H" on the top notification bar (corresponding to HSPA). But when I try to call anybody with video (I'm sure that she (my wife) receives video call and her coverage is ok), the phone say : "impossible to make a video call. Would you try a voice call".

No problem, I know what it's like to be ignored here.
Does she have a front facing camera? Are you on the same network? In my country you can't make cross network video calls.

:good: It is not the first time that we see here people without forum'users help. It's a pity.
She has front facing camera (an old Nokia N97mini) with another carrier (and network). I think it's an issue of my SGS3, because I have put my micro-SIM in another phone (my previous phone, a Nokia N900 running Maemo 5 ) and it works fine with the same apn settings.
But no luke with Jelly Bean. I will try downgrading to ICS.

I haven't really tried video calling people aside android users so I can't really say if it's an android issue. Since jb is not officially out maybe they haven't sorted out all the features

[Q]calls and sms with 3g version

HEY ALL YOU galaxy tab 10.1 owners...
was wondering is it possibile to insert sim and recieve sms...mms and make calls
thanks...
To be very short: nope. Not with the standard firmware.
Yes, you can send and receive sms and mms messages with stock firmware. It is not possible to make phone calls.
but is there a tweaked firmware that allows to make call

i really hope and i think it has the hardware.. as tab 8.9 has that call feature.
Is there any way to disable the SMS feature as well?
If I insert my sim into my tablet, I only want to use the data connection (incase my phone battery dies and I cant use wifi tethering anymore).
I want my SMS to stay with the provider and only be delivered to my mobile when I charge it and switch it back on.
Is this possible?
I think you can uninstall the message app, but i am not sure. But why dont you just get a simcard for data only, it will also saving you for swapping the sim

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 3G T-Mobile making VOICE CALLS
I just purchased >Groove IP from the Market for $5.99> went in to my gVoice settings and forwarded the calls to my mobile phone and gtalk> and I can make and receive calls. I have tried it over 3G and wifi and it works flawlessly and it is very clear. Good Luck and Good Calling!
Got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G here in Ireland and am wondering if this can send and receive SMS?

Why would someone want to use the 10.1" GT for voice - apart from being cumbersome and unwieldy even if there is bluetooth.... This is more personal entertainment and to an extent an excellent business tool alternative especially when you do not wish to lug the laptop but still need email and similar functionality.

[Q] Video Calling (Real video call, not skype or google talk)

Hello All.
I was hoping someone could advise me on how to make a normal carrier based video call. I've looked everywhere and am a little shocked to see that my atrix does not support video calls.
when calling my atrix from another phone on the same network that supports video calling (Telecom New Zealand XT network which is UMTS(WCDMA)) i get 'cannt call, other phone does not support video calling'. hmph!
can anyone help?
many thanks
Gavin.

Wow, for real? There is Qik, Skype, Gtalk, Tang, Yahoo Messenger, Fring... Just because there is not a carrier specific one (Hardly any carrier actually supports carrier specific video calls)...who cares?

Carrier based video calling is actually pretty common outside the US, even though it is almost completely unheard of here. I'm a little surprised the international versions of this phone don't support video calls, but not surprised at all to see that feature lacking on the US version.
Have there been any Android phones that do this? I know the international version of my old Fuze (Touch Pro) had an FFC and did it even though the AT&T version didn't.

Unfortunately android phones don't support standard video calling.
And yes, most of the world has a standard video call that works same on all carriers, even between carriers works. The usa is the only place that does not have video calling.
Does anyone know why this is though?
And does anyone know how video calling (direct, not third-party like google, skype, fring, etc.) works exactly, I get that a line is connected between the two phones, but what about information sharing? Are there any special permissions needed to use this direct data connection?
What about the video/sound compressors?
Why doesn't America feature this?
I hope i didn't go off topic, but I am rather interested in this......
Will google, and if any cares/helps me find me answer, i will post everything i'va gathered

it uses your data connection to stream video to each other. plain and simple. uses the same data network as your phone's internet.
Actually my friend has a galaxy s ii which does have carrier video calling.I wonder how I can enable it on my atrix with gingerbread loaded, fresh from motorola update...

i don't know what "HLR" is, but Qik, Tango and Google Talk Video (the apps that work on the Atrix) are not carrier dependent. i've gotten all three to work fine on a Galaxy Tab Wifi (no cellular carrier).

Ah yes they will work because they just use any old internet connection.the service I am looking for runs over the carrier. Hlr is home location register. Or your subscriber profile.

yeah even in canada rogers had this service but it didn't take off as the cameras sucked and there wasn't much use for it when you add in the screen size of the phones that had it. I had it on my HTC TyTn and Touch Pro. I think one carrier was looking to roll it out in the US. AT&T was against it so all those winmo devices that came out on their network had the front camera taken out. I could be wrong, but the Iphone 4 was the first device where they allowed it.

I confirm that some Android phones have a carrier video calling feature.
I own an Atrix 4G (2.3.4), and my wife owns a Samsung Galaxy S II (2.3.3)
And yes, there is a video call option in her phone's dialer.
We live in Moscow and have different carriers. 2 days ago i bricked my Atrix 4G trying to unlock its bootloader, so i had to stick back to my rubbish Samsung Z510. As soon as i put my sim-card into it and powered on the phone i could see a "3g" icon in status bar. And yes there was a video call option in my z510's dialer. It worked like a charm. Carriers video calls in Moscow cost the same as regular voice calls, so i'm quite interested in finding a way to mod my atrix as soon as i get a new one instead of bricked one. From today the source code of Atrix 4G is opened and i just hope that xda developers will pay attention to adding carrier video call in their future custom roms.
You can also try Oovoo. It works for both computer to phone and phone to phone calls.

Dowload "Qik for Atrix". The app was designed for the Atrix but works on other phones. Its best to tell the other user to download Qik on their phone as well.

android dialers doesnt support yet, just with apps we can do that...
I use Tango. worked better than fring for me.
but I live in California.
so then... I guess my input is useless...
sorry. :\
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
please note this thread is just for network provider provided video calling.native to the network. So apps like skype etc are not related to this thread. Android does do video call on the galaxy so it must be a mater of time before someone makes this work on atrix.
Many thanks.

I am not sure I follow you. I have a t-mobile version of the phone running cm7. If connected to wifi, I can make a call without the simcard installed(using sipdroid). And I receive incoming calls and make outbound call through the native dialer. I then have the option to use google voice or not, and if I choose not to use google voice, I then choose "internet call" and the native dialer places the call. I have done it on both wifi and 3g. If on 3g it uses my data, if on wifi it uses neither my data nor my minutes.

Galaxy S III not able to get text pictures

everytime someone sends me a text pic I click download and nothing happens. It used to work perfectly but now its not. Do I have enable something in the options because im really confused.
You should be able to long press the image and select "save attachments" after that put a check in the box of the attachment(s) you want to save them click save or download. This is about as far as my advice goes. But it works for me every time.
Stock everything.
I had this problem on another phone recently and it was due to the apn settings. Do a search for your carriers apn settings and make sure they're there. Sometimes there's a specific mms apn setting you need to add

I had this same problem but it was caused by my micro cell network booster. Does the problem occur in and out of wi fi or everywhere?

[Q] SGP321 (LTE) Incoming GSM calls...

Hi All
From what I understand, the Xperia Tablet Z 4G isn't meant to be able to make and/or receive GSM calls. I came from a Samsung P6800 that was able to make and receive GSM calls so I have a SIM that is attached to a voice and data plan. I'm now using that same SIM in the XZT.
Earlier this afternoon, I turned on my tablet and saw what looked like a missed call screen that flashed by and disappeared. There was no notification of a missed call. I remember the screen had light colours - like light green and blue and yellow (if my memory serves me right).
Tonight I actually received a GSM call. I didnt get to answer it in time (well, let's say that when I got to the tablet, I stood there looking at it and wondering what was going on and the call stopped!).The screen that came up is what I described above. It had an icon of a phone with a circle around it in the middle of the screen. I'm guessing that to answer the call, I would've had to have put my finger on the icon and drag it out to a side.
I tried calling my tablet again with my normal phone to replicate it and maybe try get a screenshot, but I can't seem to get through on the number.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there software on the phone that can make and receive phone calls?
Edit: I should add that I'm on 4.2.2... and Build number is 10.3.1.A.0.244.
I had hoped I could use it as a huge phone, but nope.
I was told the hardware wasn't there.
But if you truly have had an incoming call, then there might be hope.
Right now I'm using Skype and the tablet redirect calls to my Skype-number.
There is..
I use viber a lot and everytime i recieve a call there is a phone with a circle and a wave on it and i just drag the phone to the right to answer it.

Yeh, I thought that it could be Skype or Viber or one of them chat apps, but I wasn't signed into any of those at the time. I'd only had the tab for a couple of days and was still in the process of installing apps.
It hasn't happened since then.. but i'll keep a lookout for it and see if it happens again.
How about Google Voice? If you have it set up on your account you might be getting a call to that number. Try calling it.
