Tango and Fring both die if I try to video chat with them.
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-review
This review of the Atrix mentions video chatting. What are they talking about? How did they do it?
And is there something that will let me video chat with iPhone 4s?
for now QIK seems to work between my girlfriend's atrix and my evo.
TANGO was the only way to video call an iphone, but I'd expect a software fix too.
Isn't there a Qik on the iPhone?
i am pretty upset about this too. went out and bought the wife an iPhone 4 lastnight and 2 weeks ago got myself an atrix. come to find out this isnt possible.
i wish there was a simple hack to allow facetime on the Atrix or something.. this serious sucks.
This is a lil annoying I've been carrying around my iphone 4 with me as well to fill my non video chat void.
Qik now supports iphone (see qik.com/video/100699 and qik.com/phones). Let us know if you can video chat Atrix to iphone with it. I'd be curious to know that it works okay. (Also, Skype bought Qik recently.)

Qik seems to be the best option right now and it did have an Iphone client at one point.
Until Skype opens up video calls on the android platform, not much can be done.
This purely sux. My wife has iphone 4 and I sold my iphone 4 to get atrix. Now I cannot do video at all.

nvm i didnt read
yeah.. i'm waiting for something to happen to this too. I heard the Tango owners are workign on .. :T
ohnoez! muh fays timzes is borked!!!11!1!!111juan!!
>insert threads to say people are returning the atrix cause it cant video chat yet<
but seriously, people this phone isnt even a month old yet. do you think apps just magically work? Developers have to take time to bugfix per device. I am sure Tango is diligently working on a fix. As for now I qik'd with a buddy on an evo and plan on testing it with an iphone tmw.
Yahoo
Yahoo Messenger supports video chat (with iPhones).
The problem with the android client is lack of support for front facing camera.. which sorta defeats the purpose, I suppose.
That is, unless I am missing something, of course.
Edit:
Apparently if you open the camera app and change it to front facing, you can do front facing video calls.
i was thinking of getting the atrix because of the front cam. i would be disappointed to find out that yahoo im video didnt work. i hope yahoo im gets updated for the atrix.
So Qik Plus was released for iPhone. It's $2.99 on app store.
Articles around the net say the Qik for Atrix should work with Qik Plus for iPhone. But when I dial my fiancees iPhone it says we have incompatible versions. Both are most recent version.
Her phone is on iOS 4.2.1 not 4.3, wondering if that could be the issue. Otherwise I'm not sure what's up.

Personally, I'm using Tango on my Atrix to my girlfriend on an iPhone. Mostly, it works. Occasional audio dropouts, but usually pretty good.
Not sure why everyone's saying Tango doesn't work?
Because apple does facetime and there really is no standard for video chat, we will probably get to deal with these problems for a while.

I read the "requirements" for the app on iTunes and said it was compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPad. So that probably means there isn't going to be cross-platform support

Sorry for long link I just did a quick search, this is what I was referencing. Saw it a couple other places too.

Is there anyone who can confirm this works? My fiancée has an iPhone 4 and I would gift her the app so we can actually video chat.
Maybe they will update to add compatibility with atrix because qik for atrix is still fairly new.
I downloaded Tango and it seems to be working ok. Sometimes one persons audio won't come through, but not bad for a free app.

Is this just a problem with YouTube? I can hardly go through any videos without it having to buffer every 30 seconds( Atty which point i have to put the tablet down so i don't smash it)... Its very annoying.
Yes, same here. It takes forever to open a video

Works just fine here
I have the same problem
Mine loads up pretty quick, no problems here.
No problem here, try cleaning the cache and app data

Same issues here, I'm not surprised. It is basically the same on my desktop, constant buffering even with a 18Mbps connection.

I seem to have that problem with about the same speed connection, intrigued to know why
Sounds like a router problem for some people.

I do not think this is the case one bit, but I'd love to hear your explanation.

Maybe try clearing youtube app data.
See if that helps.
It works great for me. No problems at all even being a couple rooms away from router.

youtube has always performed poorly for me, in two different physical locations with various different hardware and two different ISPs. my guess is that it's my location and there's just not a good connection to youtube. i generally have to either download the clips or pause it and let it preload for a while.
May be a router issue? YouTube constantly buffers for me when on 2.4ghz. The only part of our house that has 5ghz is around my room area, and when I got there and connected to 5ghz, the YouTube app never buffered at all (except for the start of course) anymore.
Same here on my laptop as well as my tablet....
I have been using the rolle tube apk, which is the old YouTube and it works good for me on 3g speeds, tethering with my s3.

I have the same issue too. seems like the app refuses to stream faster than 2 to 3 mbps. I have a 150mbps down connection (get around 30 on wifi) and it always buffers when Im watching vids in HD.
Tablet app has no options for buffering or even the "pre-load watch later" option that my phone does...?
Have buffering problems, BUT also I get hangs when ever I change orientation and/or click on the sharing button.
Okay I am not sure if this the right place to start this thread, moderators please feel free to move it.
But more importantly the app I am looking for is a app which can control the bandwidth each app uses in the phone.
Why am I looking for this app.
I use a 1 gb 3g Internet package and I use Tango to video chat with my gf. Due to this tango sucks like 500 kbps and I run out of Internet juice very early. Now the thing is tango works fine with 50 kbps too. But how do I control how much bandwidth tango takes.
Please note I am not looking for the app to tell me or warn me of my usage but to limit it as in if my 3g gives me 5mbps I want to cap it at 1mbps.
So any one knows a app that can do this please reply.
Also I have exhausted my Google and xda search skills for 2 days looking for something like this but seem to have no luck. Hence this thread.
Thanks

I have spent a almost 12 hrs now looking for a app that does this and still getting nowhere. The closest I cam was a app that let's u decide which app uses 3g and which uses wifi. That is nothing regarding limiting my Internet speed.

Droidstats pro can do it. But you have to pay $$.

Thanks but Droidstats premium doesn't have any features to set the cap on bandwidth.

So, for me, I can only play a partial song before it cuts out. Everything else seems to work fine.
I've called LG, and Verizon - they've never heard of the problem (big surprise ) . I'll get a hold of Google too but for now, let's try to figure this out.
My guess is a flaky Wifi connection. What is everyone else's opinion based on experience with the LG G2 and Chromecast, and what should we do?
Possible fix in post 23 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49363241
Edit-It didn't really work.

Both work great. As well as hulu.

Google's problem then. Netflix would use way more bandwidth streaming music. Chromecast in my opinion is still pretty beta, and new updates cone about once a month, so maybe they'll fix it.

I see your point, and you're not wrong but...
It works flawlessly on every other device I've used(sgs3, og incredible, iphone 4s, iphone 5,pc...etc.). This leads me to believe that something is screwy with the g2. Just looking for a meantime solution until this is worked out.
Edit-
Also, according to Verizon and LG this isn't a problem. So, maybe not even on their radar. Going to get to Google tonight but I'm guessing I'll get the same song and dance - "not our problem, call lg" or/ "not our problem, call Verizon".

Surround or HDMI? I don't have my G2 yet because my first one was a lemon, so I can't check for you...
Have you tried streaming from your PC? There is an extension for chrome that will cast a tab from your browser to chromecast, you could try that.

Of course I did. I didn't post a new thread without extensive googly searching for a solution.
I do however appreciate your input.
Now, g2 Chromecast users, what say you?

I also have this stupid issue. My nexus 4 and even my two galaxy nexuses don't have this problem. It will finish a song and then just not play anything. If u don't do anything.. Randomly it will just start another song

Have you tried Pandora. It plays a song then loses connection after and won't control it anymore. Didn't do this with my gnex either. HBO go seems to work fine tho

HBO Go, Netflix and others work fine. The only thing that doesn't work right it Google Music which sucks because I am trialing the pay GM with Spotify to see which I want. May have to just keep Spotify on ipad and stream thru Apple TV instead.
I have two G2s in the house. I hardly have songs or videos drop out mid track, but I do have a continuity issues. Sometimes it will play the next track, other times I have to manually forward to the next track. Not sure if G2 issue or CC issue.

I have had that issue with any music app. Pandora slacker spotify and play music. I think it's a g2 issue. Ironically I haven't had any issues when playing on the chromecast.
Maybe the g2 cuts playback thinking your no longer using the app and it needs to conserve battery?

I tried another app from the play store that keeps Wifi awake while the screen is off and I got 4 songs to play in a row before it disconnected. This is a record for me, but not a fix. My Galaxy s3 will play for hours on end with no interruption.

G2 issue. LG customer service blames it on Google. Verizon blames it on LG. Google doesn't say ****.

Maybe if we can get a logcat or two together of the Chromecast disconnect issue, it could help zero in on the cause. I don't think I'll have time until probably Sunday...
The next step would be to find someone to interpret said logcat.

I use google music and songza with my g2 and chromecast with no problems.
What is your wifi (g, n, ac) and 2.4 or 5 ghz?
2.4 ghz wireless N. You know, I have a ton of networks in range of my home network. Maybe the router is nuking the connection looking for an open channel.

no problems streaming with chromecast (or bluetooth) here either.

Hi All
Ive recently swapped over to an Xperia Z2 after using iPhones since the iPhone 3 was released, always jailbroken, so I am a complete android noob. (and enjoying the change)
My wife recently sent me a video from her iphone and the video is completely unwatchable. Extremely poor quality. Z2 is rooted and the bootloader is locked.
I have never had this problem when the wife sent video from her iphone 5S to my old iphone5.
Is there something I can do to improve the quality of video I receive via MMS?
Thanks
Matty05
MMS quality is always poor, apple services however alow for better quality from iphone to iphone
I havent seen a solution for this problem yet aside using messaging apps like viber or skype
