hey guys
I have an incredible with the skyraider3 Van RC2, everything runs perfectly and i really like it, except im having problems with getting my location when using google maps. I use it alot for work, and not being able to get closer than 2100meters on the map is a problem. Normally i would just say that its a location setting but everything is turned on, gps, standalone, and google location all on... even rebooting, or turning the signal off and back on still does nothing...
could this have anything to do with the raider rom? or is there something im missing??...
next problem is recording 720p video... every time i hit the record button it records for 2 seconds then crashes the phone. I have tried to record in various other formats and they all work besides recording in mpeg 720p. I thought it might be a lack of space on the phone, but regardless of recording to phone or SD it still locks and immediately reboots.
Im going to flash to the RC3 rom this afternoon, hopefully that will fix it, but do you guys have any ideas of why these functions arent working?
Thanks
There's a update to ooVoo in the market place and video chat finally works now. I was able to video chat a friend from phone to pc and from phone to phone. There's only one problem. My ffc (front facing camera) is sideways. The rear camera works fine. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? BTW i'm running CM 7.1 RC1 with Trinity15 G2x CM7 trcu
I think is is designed to be used in landscape.
I tend to use ooVoo when I am on the road... has worked well for Phone-to-PC videochat.
Hello forum,
For some reason I video on skype doesn't work at all. I can verify that everything is turned on to allow video. but when I make a call, it starts the camera, and when the call is answered the video shuts off on both ends.

this is a known problem, something on skype's end is borked.. Afaik all phone's on 2.2 FroYo can't take advantage of the front camera due to app/software restrictions, but is reported to work fine on GB. tango works for me however
Yeah I know about the front camera, but the back cam is what shuts down. I don't know if it is my Dad's mac that has an out of date OS on it, my pc will work perfectly with him though, and he does have the latest skype
Someone is having problems with lag on youtube version 2.3.4? Slowdowns of every 5 seconds, in several different roms gives the same problem, now if I install an older version of youtube, the problem goes away, back to normal.
Someone is having this problem?
I tested it on two sensations, which is on my 710E and my friend who is 4G.
do the test with you, pay close attention to the video if it will not slow down, then come back normal, is 5 sec slows down again, back to normal there.
dont have any problems with mine. are you using wifi connection or 3g connection?
It happens to mine as well, except that the default YouTube App version is lagging the video playback ONLY when Timeline bar is brought up and keeps lagging unless it disappears.
I am trying to find out wether this is Software ( ROM or w/e ) issue or Hardware.
I did take my phone to warranty service and they were unable to help. Jerks.
I am seriously willing to void warranty and flash preinstalled ROM with CM or just a stock one, ONLY IF I know for sure that his is Software issue.
Note:
I did test for this issue on multiple WiFi's and 3G ... to no avail. I think it started after 2nd factory data reset I did, and nothing changes when I do the reset ...
This problem DOES NOT occure when you play the video via Internet Browser on youtube.com or m.youtube.com
I am concered about Hardware issue since phone feel sluggish overall ( slideshow scrolling when there are not that many elements on UI ... ) and it lags a bit 1080p video (picky,ye ...)
Edit :
My thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444808
the problem is that if you install the old version of youtube everything back to normal, it is clear that the problem is in software
Well, I guess I am going to live with laggy phone/youtube app for now. Should get ICS update and see if it fixed the issue, if not...
I am going ROOT that mofo and take that *@#$ ROM down with my own bare hands.
actually, after installing the latest version of the ICS ARHD 6.1.1, which also comes with youtube 3.3.0 the problem is over.
Glad you fixed it. ICS Is the best
For now.
Hi guys,
I am not certainly an expert in this field but it seems like because we don't have the driver for the graphical card, the phone does not have video camera function when ICS is installed.
My question is I've realized that from watching YouTube and other streaming videos, the quality of video is really bad. Is that have anything with video support?
I'm pretty sure with the stock the quality of the video was just fine.
Thanks in advance for your comments!

The biggest issue currently is the lack of hardware video acceleration which can easily be solved my using MXplayer and having the video decoded through the software instead.
Camcorder
Camcorder force closes. Driver issues.

I'm not sure if it really matters, but what ROM are you using? I've used several ICS ROMs and never really noticed any issues with video quality on Youtube or other sites. It does seem to be slow to load at times, which may be because of the video driver issue. But quality-wise, it looks fine to me.

I must say the picture looks saturated I mean dither gradation of the colors seems not be read correctly? It definitely has nothing to do with how much time it'd take to load.the bids its the picture.that degrades its quality..
BTW I was using eagleblood latest
These are what I notice to be funky and a bother, the reasons for why they don't work might not be correct but here is what I notice...
No proper video drivers = camera is funky sometimes NO VIDEO unless you use video cam illusion only mediocre quality, some video playback to alot are not proper or functioning fully at the least. Takes longer to load things (I think, ill be surfing xda or Facebook and it loads like DSL used to load in sections, half the screen and other times by quarters, really weird.)
No REAL Hardware Acceleration, it is just a hack with missing libs or Hals or binaries a bunch of little things, this causes a mess of issues if I'm not mistaken which is a possibility (a likely one)
Other things I've noticed are that battery is usually terrible if you use the phone, not super fast at all again proper drivers are the cause of that one. Incoming calls are a pain on most roms. Wifi calling is a no go for a whole lot of people, including me. More things that are just annoyances but also make it not a daily driver for some including me, I've tested them all and always revert... just mainly the annoyances and the lack of wifi calling.

I agree with all that is said above. I had all of these problems and I always had this funky problem in which when ever I was browsing the web it would randomly decide to start flickering the screen black on the page and then not letting me see anything until I started to actively scroll and then the problem would come back. This happened to me over and over until I reverted back to GB. That and the new baseband that is a much needed improvement and is only compatible with GB right now.
I don't know how unique my problem is, but I can't use my phone for development anymore for some reason or some of the advanced Bluetooth features. Pre-ICS, all the G2x drivers installed normally from Windows Update and I could do all the various Bluetooth things, such as Bluetooth file browsing. Post-ICS, my G2x shows up as an unknown device in Bluetooth, so no more Bluetooth file browsing. Also, when I connected my phone for the first time and turned on debugging, Windows couldn't install the drivers to make it work, adb doesn't recognize it, and eclipse won't push to it. Keep in mind, this was on a computer I connected to just fine a few hours ago.
Now, at this point I was a little pissed because I can't use my phone for development, so I try another laptop that my G2x had never connected to. Plug it in, nothing. Install LG drivers, nothing. So I think that ICS somehow messed up my ability to use debugging mode, because when I disable debugging mode I don't have any "Other Devices" in Device Manager.
I've been running arcee's CM9-SK3 since he released it, the hardware acceleration is a nuisance, but my biggest complaint is the maps problem. When I'm using maps or navigating, the map will randomly blank out and maps will require a complete restart. It's quite annoying while navigating, and absolutely infuriating while searching the map for something. I can live with the battery (I have two), I can get over the lack of video (youtube HD works fine), but the maps thing is what drives me the most crazy, especially since I just moved across the country right after installing SK3.
