How do we get native 3G video calling from our nexus s. My carrier is giving me (almost) free 3g video calling. And this is not like Fring/Tango. its over the UMTS network. My old nokia could do it. the Galaxy S can , So why cant the Nexus.
ROM Devs out there. PLEASE make this happen.
Thanks a Ton.

Didn't you read what the OP said? He has free/cheap 3G video calls. I do find it a real pity that you can't do 3G video calls with NS. I remember 3G video calls was one of the most hyped feature when 3G network was first introduced years ago. Many 3G phones with a FFC could make 3G video calls, it would be nice if you can make 3G video calls using NS to those 3G dumb (non-smart) phones.
True "3G video calling" isn't supported on Nexus S.... or any primarily US released phone.

i know it's not supported but as in Samsung galaxy S do, it must have a way to make it works, maybe changing ROM or something.
anyone?
BTW: the Google talk is very under quality, there are annoying "interference".

Man, people bringing old threads back.
Nexus S will do Fring/Tango just fine over '3G'.
The thread is specifically native 3G video calling. This feature is more popular/in use in Europe and Asian countries. That's why the real original Galaxy S supports this feature.
And No, the Nexus S does not. You will need to use an app like Fring/Tango/Qik/GoogleTalk to do Video Chat
my ns does 3g video calling through gtalk. tmobile disabled the 3g video calling feature so that only wifi video calling through gtalk only worked. but its really easy to re-enable the 3g video calling feature. and it works great(probably because of 6mbps+ data speeds over the tmo network in nyc).
hi all , the galaxy tab can make native 3g visio call to
i'm sady the NS can't for this time !!!
fring an other softwar are not compatible with all phone ....
So if we could active video on NS on native phone app !!! that's so nice

Hi, a sales guy from HTC told me that native 3G video call need to be supported through hardware chip, and hardware in Iphone4 and HTC phones is not support for that although they come with front camera. The guy even told me honestly that only Samsung phone with front camera is supported in hardware level.
Not sure why Nexus S which made by Samsung is not supported.

as someone pointed out, the nexus s supports video calling through the native gtalk app. also, tango and fring support the ns. additionally, skype free video calling now supports the nexus s too.
might get an answer
even i am looking for the same thing native video calling as in INDIA its new thing and cheap too....
In India there are hardly people using Skype,tango etc...
i was going through XDA forum and i got this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962&page=2
this might get the answer
I completely don't understand anything mentioned on this link but yes it clearly says activating SIP for ANdroid on SGS 2.
PS: I am noob if this is a solutions for samsung phone please update me about it as i have samsung Infuse 4G!
Native Video calling
Dear all,
I was trying to find the correct answer for the native video calling. I came across a really high tech thing for which we need a programmer and a 3G communication expert.
It goes like this.... There is a protocol which helps to communicate with the FFC and is based on the FRAMEWORK of the phone. In the framework you need to alot a space for 3G 324M protocol and the 3G expert will help the programmer to do so ........so that the voice call is integrated with the video in real time and with no lag!!
It's tough to do but do we have someone here who can do that in XDA DEVELOPER's?? or people are happy with the custom rom and Skype,oovoo etc??

It's not nonoheran fault..............google when launched gtalk app they mentioned it's a NATIVE VIDEO CALLING (through Gtalk).
he is confused.
but still not getting the answer ........ spoke to few people around the globe they say it's a tough job to do as they have to inegrate 3G 324M (video data calling)with H.263 (voice calling) in the framework.
for that we need java developer and 3G expert to work together.
hard to find above combination and even if you find they will not waste there time for us as every phone have different framework)
I am using samsung infuse 4g but thought would share my knowledge with you all so that if you people know someone like this (JAVA + 3G expert) you can get hold of him/her and get the things done!!
I searched everywhere and haven't seen any reports on this.
Does anyone else have serious call quality problems, only when using WIFI calling on T-Mobile? I get a terrible crackle/static fairly often.
I thought at first it was the built-in earpiece but I don't have this problem as soon as I switch off WIFI calling (and call over the 3G network).
What I also thought was interesting, is that when in WIFI calling... I can use my bluetooth headset or speakerphone and have zero interference/cracking sounds.
Let me know if you have any tricks, or if I should get this thing repaired by HTC! Thanks
WiFi Calling Crackling
I'm having the same issues with WiFi calling. I experienced a couple times and thought it might just be a bad connection, but apparently it's more than that. Hopefully the MR update (whenever that is) will address this
Yeah I don't think swapping the handset is going to help this one, hopefully an update comes out soon to address the WIFI calls. And hopefully Skype comes out with one too, because its static as all hell too.
I have the same issue. It was delayed as well. Odd.

I am also having that experience with Skype calls and really bad with video calls and GTA 3. Could it be beats integration?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
Don't think the beats affect calls since its coming through the earpiece. Guess we're going to need some software updates. T-Mobile mentioned there will be an update to address Wifi Calling battery life, maybe they'll sneak a fix in. I've reported it to T-Mo and HTC... You guys should too.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the phone, minus the pain in the butt power button! Its so flush with the case, it is difficult to press.
yea i also heard about a update rolling out looking forward to it
+1
Getting a slight / medium crackle during conversations on wifi. Crystal clear on GSM.
I get the crackle too, any word on a fix?
Just a reply to say I have the same issue on two One S phones from tmobile. I had to set wifi calling to use cell when available, as opposed to using wifi when available. The crackle was so "sharp" and pronounced that I was about to return my phones because it really sounds like a hardware issue/loose speaker parts in the earpiece! Thankfully, it works great with GSM, so it seems to be software only. And, if I need wifi calling in a pinch, I'm willing to put up with the crackles. If I had to rely on it (due to low signal in my house), it would be very frustrating.
Also on wifi calling sometimes callers could not hear me, or I them. That only happened a couple of times to me, but was a major reason I demoted wifi calling.
By the way, this phone is absolutely amazing! Fast, fast, fast, great screen, great battery, great metal shell... would love to remove Sense because it buries all the Google App integration and favors everything else, but that's a personal opinion.
Skeeboe
Yeah the feel and speed of this phone are just incredible. It just seems like there is some software kinks that need to be worked out.
Another one I've run into recently is YouTube links directing me to the mobile site rather than the native app (which is another problem with the 3 dot menu lol).
I hope they don't rush the first update and work to address some of these quirks.
Yea, I had the crackle issue on my first handset (kept having it randomly reboot) but haven't tried on the new handset since it seems they now have to enable the wifi calling feature on the account and my account is to old to enable it...or so they claim.
Wait so is the wifi calling crackle you t-mobile guys in the States get the same as the crackle I get when using Skype on my One S in the UK?
US t-mobile here. skype's crackle is much worse, impossible to deal with. wi-fi crackle is sporadic and annoying.
I'm completely confused about the whole crackle thing now. I've seen and read about your US T-mobile wifi calling which I now understand and skype crackles a heck of a lot for me. So I assumed that it was a VOIP calling problem but I used Viber to call someone over wifi last night and there was no crackle at all on a 30 minute call. Oh well I won't complain about that, would be nice if skype was working for video calls though
I am experiencing the same issue with WiFi calling too, which is a pain because I primarily make my calls over WiFi. It was so bad on a conference call today I had to switch phones. Anyone know if this is a known issue for T-Mo yet, don't want to call into care if they are already aware of it. Also, out of curiosity does anyone know if this was an issue before the most recent firmware update?
Thanks!
it's hard to say if T-Mo knows about it but they didn't acknowledge anything regarding this issue, only the battery drain related to wi-fi calling. all T-Mo US HTC One's suffer from it.
I have reported it twice to TMO, first time I was told they didn't know about it. The second time a few days later, they were aware of the issue but couldn't tell me if/when they were going to push an update out for the crackle issue. If I were u guys I would report it so they may push something quicker rather than having horrible comments about their flagship ICS device!

Just purchased an HTC One S today.
I talked with T-mobile earlier today and showed them the link to the t-mobile support forum thread created for the Wifi calling quality issues (crackling/delay) on the HTC One S.
They told me that they are aware of the problem and it's a known issue. I didn't press them for a timetable to fix it or anything.
Everyone who's experiencing wifi calling issues should at least take a moment to call in to tech support or chat with a t-mobile tech rep.
We need to make sure they address this quickly. I know a lot of people rely on wifi calling on t-mobile in spotty/bad signal areas. I sure do.
Hello, I purchased this phone.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S2HGSDQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have it activated on my MetroPCS line and I can only get Edge(2G). I would like to have it on 3g at least.
I can make phone calls just fine, and I can get on the internet. It's just so darn slow I can't even stream youtube..
I have rooted the phone. I cannot get on the correct frequency to make it 3g..
I have searched everywhere until the point of getting confused by so many failing methods.
Please let me know if there is a way.
I'm not sure what information you need, so please let me know what you need.
I live in North America and I live in a 4GLTE coverage area.
Here are a few screenshots

I can see the 3g network from Att. But I cannot connect. I get an error.
Thank you to anyone who can help ahead of time.
I'm having the same problem, have you figured out how to fix it?
No, it turns out that there is a hardware limit. The phone itself is only picking up 2g because of the frequency. China is on a different frequency than America.. But if you have att service . Or cricket. You can get 3g at the max in some areas.
I've given up and just use WiFi when I can. The YouTube app let's you change the quality to 144p an the videos stream great. Just less quality. Oh well. Lol
Try cricket wireless and let me know if it works. I'm on metro PCs.
Got in a new Verizon Galaxy S6 and the second you make a call it goes from a strong 4G signal to a 1X with little to no signal at all.
Anyone else have this problem.
Is there a fix besides returning the phone?
Mine does that too. I imagine it is due to it not being possible to use data while on a non-VoLTE call. There are many threads about that aspect.

What's the fix?
Turn on HD calling and you loose your caller ID / Name / Number
I just went to settings, clicked advanced calling and hit activate then HD voice and video calling, wait a while then restart. Works just fine for me. Tested it before posting this just to be sure.
Mine was doing this but is has stopped. Enable Advanced Calling on the phone, then go to the Verizon website and make sure the feature is shown as active.
Reboot the phone. Wait 24-36 hours. Reboot again and the issue should be gone.
There seems to be a lag between when Advanced Calling is activated on the device and when Verizon actually begins using it. Not sure of the duration. It was about a full day for me. Since doing that, I have not had the warning message appear again.

Just be minded that in order for VoLTE to work, you need to be connected to a tower that supports it. If you're not, you'll drop off LTE since you're making the call over CDMA and new VZW phones have only 1 radio. Not possible for SVDO on any new Verizon phone now that they're moving to VoLTE.
Is the only benefit of Advanced Calling when you are talking to someone that also has Advanced calling activated on their phone?
Otherwise, what are the benefits of Advanced Calling?
Is there anyway to loose the video camera icon on the dial pad screen after you activate advanced calling? That thing would drive me nuts.

It lets you use data while on a call, since the call goes out over VoIP.

So does that mean all calls (coverage permitting) are being routed over VoLTE? even calls to non-Verizon HD capable phones?
Verizon implies that HD Advanced calling is only if both parties are using capable phones (VZW only) and are in VoLTE coverage area (and of course have enabled HD AC).
Is there any change to the way calls are handled for the majority of the time, when the above mentioned conditions aren't met?

I'm pretty sure what they mean is if you call someone else who isn't using advanced calling, the quality will be the same as they aren't on VoLTE, but you are. The quality is determined by the lowest quality of the two.

I'm not asking about the quality, I'm asking if regular calls to non VZW HDAC enabled phones are also placed over VoLTE and not over traditional CDMA

That depends on whether all the carriers can agree on what version of the RCS protocol to use.
AT&T is still using a pre-universal profile version of the RCS protocol.
AT&T is backing the newer universal profile version of RCS, but hasn't implemented it yet.
It would explain why they restrict their current version (Advanced Messaging and Video Call) to only work within their own network.
Does the quality of AT&T video call match that of Google duo, hangouts, Facebook, or skype?

Never been able to use it, so I can't say.
Requires two AT&T customers with video capable phones (iPhones don't work as they don't support RCS at all).
My wife and daughter have iPhones, so we use Duo, which works great.
Not a fan of Skype and Facebook (which uses Skype on the back end). Crappy video compression when using cellular data.

Thing is I'm in Ghana atm. I'm on a plan where I can get free calls to other users over normal calls and same with video call without internet. Saves me data. Tried duo but horrible internet network doesn't help. Video calling Works fine with my note 3 but note 8 doesn't work. That's why I'm wondering if there's a way around this and if not can rooting solve the video calling feature?
Being Ghanian myself, i would say use What'sApp.
