[Q] video call quality streak iphone ipad - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i compared video call between the dell streak 5 (with streakdroid 2.1 , android 2.3.3) and the new ipad using TANGO
and
video call between the iphone 4S and the new ipad using FACETIME
I found that video call between iphone/ipad was much better than video call streak/ipad: the call was very clear
What can be the reason ?
I know FACETIME has been developed expressly for iphone/ipad, so that can be a reason
Another reason is perhaps that iphone has better hardware quality than the dell streak....
What do you think?
Anyone knows some ROM (newer than streakdroid) to be tried to improve video call quality, or if exists any version of TANGO, SKYPE, OOVOO, FRING that can improve video call quality on dell streak 5?
THANKS!

I think you are right but i still have a doubt:
the following is a completely different case, but:
my friend has galaxy s3 (it has ICS and good hardware, i think...), i asked him to call my pc (using SKYPE):
the call quality was very very poor;
then i asked him to call me with his pc (always using SKYPE): the call quality has improved
i thought galaxy s3 was a powerful device, why call quality was so bad?
could be that video chat applications for android like TANGO, SKYPE, OOVOO, etc can not provide a good quality on android smartphones because they are necessarily general, not expressly designed for a specific device...
in this way , they cant take advantage of the specific harware, that could provide higher performances...
instead, FACETIME, expressly designed for ipad/iphone can take advantage of its features....
but this is only a doubt, i am not a technician....

[Q] Sound quality in video (in a noisy environment)

I need to know guys how I could get a better sound quality while recording video in a concert. Usually, while we're performing there's a guy filming with a professional camera but sometimes we don't get a copy of it. I want to have a personal video of us taken by my X10, so I ask a friend to record and I let him to use my phone.
The results of the video vary depending of the ilumination of the place. But sound results are terrible. Loud amplifiers, distortion in guitars etc. plus people cheering make only noise in the video and what I sing isn't understandable sometimes. So please, Im asking if there's any way to get better sound in an environment like this.
Thanks in advance.
Are you using eclair? Or froyo? Well the original Sony firmware has better camera drivers plus it also supports HD recording. I would suggest you to use that. The sound quality is pretty good.

Im using Eclair .435 Generic Global ROM, wich I think is still from SE, Im not using any custom ROM.
Ahem... Im talking about the sound quality. The video is just great, but the sound is horrible when recording with a lot of noise around.
Thanks.

The Samsung based cameras are much better, with Potatoman modifying sound quality.

Use this camera apk, watch the video and see the difference in sound quality! Alot alot better than iPhone 4S and Old Samsung Camera.

[Q] Can we take pictures while recording video???

I've read that the original Galaxy S & Galaxy Tab have received "Value Update", to their firmware. This means that they aren't going to receive ICS, but gained ICS features. Both can now take pictures while recording video, so my questions is why can't we yet. Or am I not doing the correct thing by pressing the screen while recording video??? I don't think it is good practice on Samsung's part to allow this feature on older hardware, but not their more powerful dual-core devices....unless it's just not possible due to our camera hardware.
Anyone have any insight on this?
no not in sgs2, yup the value added pack for sgs1 has it...
I knew that already......my question is why???

(Q) low end android phone 4 Skype suggestion

Hi,
I am looking for a low end android smartphone for Skype.
Required:
- Front and rear face cam
- 3G connection
- possible to root
- maybe custom rom option.
Thanks 4 you help.
One more thing, low end phone in general just means cheap ....
Any suggestions?
low end phones usually dont have front cam, you can look at some midrange phones like sony live and mini/mini pro
Thank you. Any other suggestions?
Its a birthday gift for my mum (60+)
Just like to call, message, and Skype with cam.
No need to be very new fashion phone or a very popular brand.
Midrange also ok but for sure she don't need a one x or a sgsIII...
Thanks...!

[Q] Phones that play well with call recording?

Hi, I do a lot of work by my phone and would love to be able to record my conversations (the law where I am is murky about this and people getting in trouble for this is unheard of) which would be awesome for my work because my memory is not wonderful so would be able to refer back to all my conversations etc. Problem is I’ve tried various software on my Sgs2 and it frequently crashes the very few recoding apps that I could get to work on it at all, after reading the SGS2 forums it just seems that call recording on that phone is a bit of a lost cause.
So my question is, are there any phones out there that have a particularly good track record of working well with call recording apps? Or and/or Also, are there ROMS or something else I should be looking out for regarding compatibility? Any help on this would really help (a lot less humbling than calling back and asking “do ya remember that conversation we had…” and more convenient than fumbling around for a pen/paper)
If you are not a brand freak then try the Gionee S5.5. It's a great phone with great specs plus it has an in built recording option with very good results.The recording quality is Crystal clear with very good results.
