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

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.

My kids will be staying with the grandparents for a week and I wanted to know the best video chat solution with an iphone 4. G-chat had the best video quality but no sound. Yahoo had the best sound but I couldn't use my front facing camera. Skype didn't work but the only thing that worked was tango but it was extremely poor quality. Any suggestions?

Tango

GTalk doesn't have sound? If you use the new one it should.
I believe Tango works between Android and iPhone too. Can't remember though because everyone I know I've pretty much switched to Android LOL
Fring is pretty good

I forgot about fringe, but I am on the new G-talk so maybe it's an iphone thing. I'll try fringe tonight

Tango is pretty good however search this forum for the ymessenger ffc working thread it works on mine.
i used Qik
Tango works good for my atrix to wife's iphone 3gs.

well since 80% of the people who replied didn't read the OP when they said that Tango was bad quality (and thus NOT what they were looking for...)
I suggest Qik. I always felt it was more stable and the interface was better. However you will have to install the non-Atrix version ("Qik Video Connect" rather than "Qik for Atrix") if you want to use it between Android and iOS, and to do that you must be running Gingerbread (2.3.4) otherwise the front camera won't work.
If that doesn't work, try Fring. Otherwise, there aren't many other options.
Hey everyone, I currently have a S4 and I'm about 85% sure that I'm going to exchange it today for a HTC One. My question to you all is do any of you know of an app that utilizes both the front and back cam like you can with the S4?
That's one of the main features I like of the S4...
HTC 3D has an mirror app, but that S4 app sounds better
s4 has a better app desigh for this function
No. I wish it had the multitasking feature where you can run two apps at the same time. But it is what it is. I actually am leaning towards getting the Google Edition of the GS4 so I don't have to deal with all the bloat and bs. Waiting half a year for my carrier to push my updates and bug fixes out.

Considering both the s4 and the HTC one have the same cpu it should not be impossible for a third party app. Think of the ability to have a video callwith both cameras enabled, it would be a battery juicer, but nice none the less

What would be the use to having both cameras operating at the same time? Just wondering.. i cant think of anything.. even video calls dont make much sense to me, how would both cams benefit a video call? You want the person on the other end to see you and what is in front of you? Not trolling, just inquiring..
It's actually a nice feature..it's on the S4 and I used it a lot ...especially with my kids.

Hi,
I'm getting my Nexus 10 today and my primary reason for it is so I can Skype with my wife while I am deployed over seas.
I have used Skype in the past but I see there are several apps for video conferencing.
I am usually in a location that has limited bandwidth. Given that limitation, can anyone give recommendations for the best one on one video client?
Thanks
When I was out of the country my wife and I used both Skype and Google hangouts. Sometimes one would work better than the other, depending upon lousy hotel WiFi.

Either one. Are you going to baf? Skype over dialup speeds usually isnt bad, sometimes audio only.bring a good headset with mic as privacy is is paramount over there. Be safe.

Hi all,
I just got the Z2 for my fiancé as she wanted the best camera in a phone. All is going well except for call quality.
She hears everybody just fine but people complain that they can't hear her well. I've been reading online and some people are having the same issue even after replacing the phone.
Is it something to do with positioning the mic or could be a faulty hardware? She has an average (small) female face/head size. Could it be because the mic is just too far away from the mouth? Or something to do with noise-canceling mic?
EDIT: updated the phone to 402 and still she still has the same issue
I have the same issue, have to raise my voice slightly for people to be able to hear me properly

It could be caused by faulty SIM card
I one had this issue with another device and I was using a normal sized SIM cut to fit micro sim slot, one I got it replaced at my operator then all went marvelous
It's a proper so card so not sure it's that but I will test another just in case

Same issue for me too. Thought it might have been my case. Both happy and sad it's not. Shame it's not fixed in the latest firmware. Hopefully a future one can fix it.
Same here
But it do happen for most calls

Same here. Had to buy a handsfree, because i can't use the speakers when at work. NON disclosure stuff. I'm a bit disappointed at Sony actually. But with the handsfree everything is great.
My friends Z2 doesn't have these issues though, latest firmware.

Here too... Call quality on other end is not good enough till u speak.
Have had complaints about my voice quality being poor as well...
Is this an isolated case? So far I haven't heard anyone complaining about my voice. What does the voice sounds like on the other end? Choppy, muffled, too soft?

Same problem
I have complaints with almost every phone call about my sound quality. Have to speak louder or take phone off my ear and put microphone closer to my mouth.
Got this problem as well. Thought my was an isolate case but seemly it isn't so. Hope Sony do something abt it in the next firmware update

Wow, seems that everybody is having the same issue! How do you guys manage to live with it? I'd go nuts.

I am waiting for replacement at Monday , arriving a new bach , will report after it , but mine alwso has gaps and uncentered camera , i cant believe sony make so much deffekt devices and thats the flagship for 2014 ..imagine in 2015 sony will sell a phones that ruin themselfs in your hand
