I am having a strange issue with video call in Talk. When I use the front facing camera, the image position inside the rectangle is fixed and goes out of focus when the tablet is moved. Only way I can get the video to work is if i keep the tablet perfectly still, which defeats the purpose of the tablet. Is there a way to fix it?
The camera works fine otherwise.
i don't even know how to start video call? care to share how you're doing it now? did you download anything on the market?

Slide the hand above your image to the left. Should sort that out.
To the other poster, make sure the other person is on a computer or phone with compatible hardware + software.
ah that was easy...thanks m8

I browsed and couldn't find if these were already answered, but here I go. Using DVP.
1) Contacts pictures when they call, even when they are pinned to tile on home screen are blurry. Is this a WP7 issue? The pictures are not the issue, they were taken with Sony NEX5, and are good quality. I emailed an original pic for one, and then did a Zune sync with the other.
2) My browser bounces around. If I am reading an article, the browser pops down about 1/3 of a page, like it's scrolling, and then pops back into place. Any site, no rhyme or reason.
I think the blurry pictures thing is a known bug. Check the bugs thread.
As the browser thing, I've never heard of that one before. But you never know, sometimes my phone's camera button won't wake it up, and I've never seen that bug noted anywhere else either.

The picture issue is not a bug of the phone but a limitation of google (or windows live)
The pictures are scaled down considerably by google when the contacts are synced and these synced pictures hence look distorted..

That's because you're covering the proximity sensor with your other hand. That's a feature to sto pthe camera button activating the phone when it's in your pocket. Try using the camera button while keeping your mitts away from the sensor and it'll work every time.

Well lookee here. I'm apparently learning a lot in this thread.
Just tried that, and it worked fine, many thanks.

I was thinking that might be the issue. Is there anything I can do to fix that issue? Or it just is what it is when you sync the accounts? Obviously not a big deal, but a little annoying.
As for the browser jumping around, I'll get some video of it in action in the next cpl days.
Finally,
Its available now.
Update your skype and enable it from the settings.
By default the Video is "off". So you will need to go the skype settings and enable it from there.
The Quality of the video is not that great but well its a start
I tried it on my G2x running CM7 nightly 151 and couldn't get it to transmit any video -- wouldn't even display locally on my screen in the little window that comes up in the lower left corner. I tried front and back cameras and even disabled video and re-enabled it. Still nothing. It may work on stock and may even work on later nightlies, I dunno. Google Talk video chat works fine for me so maybe Skype requires some updated libs?
Just passing on my experience.
I see that the front camera orientation while video calling is upside down. Anyone to confirm my observation???

I have the same thing going on as you, except I'm on Weapon G2x (2.3.3 Rom), it said skype wasn't 'officially supported' on my phone though. Nice to see it's almost there though
yup....on tweaked stock now...but Camera is upside down...

True, but if you turn the phone in landscape mode the video will be in the correct position.

Not just landscape mode, you gotten disable rotation and zooming to make video work properly? Anyone receive a SMS through carrier while on video chat and and video get distorted? Mines did but MAYBE because I wasn't on wifi, my thought only..

realized that in a skype conversation. my Phone is now complete!
Just tried it on a Froyo rom and I saw my wife's video feed for like 3 seconds and then it made my phone reboot. So close ... yet so far.
I think one of the android blogs mentioned that it was only good for landscape.
I tested everything on Stock 2.3.3 and the only thing for video to show up correctly is in landscape mode. Leave the auto-rotate checked, it doesn't fix anything. Picture is so-so but at least FFC works which is better than nothing...
Interesting how they rolled it also out to the Nexus One (works and looks great) yet no FFC so what's the point? LOL
Nice! not great but something is better than nothing
Latest G+ update "FULLY" enables video hangout on mobile devices. Which means, now you can initiate a video conference over G+ using your phone
Now I remember sometime back on some ROM, I'd managed to see the video streaming up from my phone. But now I'm on vanilla DDKP2. It reboots as soon as the streaming starts. I mean.. FFC preview starts alright, but when we say "Join Hangout", it'll reboot.
Anybody here getting a different result? I'm sure there's a lot of people on lot many different ROMs. I really want to know which ROM could possible support this feature. This might be the first break-through for our phone !
Got it.. Start hangout with Rearview Cam preview, and later switch to FFC. Works We DO HAVE a break through

Sorry but it doesn't true. hangouts works if you put the phone in landscape to the left, and work both cameras, but appears a problem sending your image rotation, rotation issue again.... And if you put the device in portrait mode (vertical), phone reboots. At the moment, hangouts doesn't work.
100 % tested
Can any one report this issue to google+ team ?

Hi y'all, hope you're having a great day.
On S22 Ultra when I record a video inside Instagram stories or Snapchat, the recorded video starts with a loud tapping sound. It doesn't happen on the camera app. Why is this happening ? Is it a software or hardware problem ? Can someone please check if it's only happening on me by shooting a video on Instagram stories ? — I'm using the Snapdragon version.
I really don't want this to be a hardware issue I bought the phone yesterday and I don't know what to do if it's a hardware issue, I don't want to send it for a repair since it's a brand new phone and this phone costed even more in my country. Can someone try please ?
Video example:

Maybe someone who has Instagram or Snapchat (unfortunately I don't) will chime in. Does the audio record normally after the initial pop with no other distortions? Have you tried other social media sites/ apps to try to replicate this? If you have and haven't heard it then it might be just the apps themselves and hopefully updates might address this bug in the future.

It records normally after that first second pop, and it only happens on Instagram and Snapchat from what I see. It happens on both front and back camera. It doesn't happen on the camera app. I really hope someone tries it, and it's not a hardware issue.

Not hardware issue, more of a IG issue. I guess that's IG turning on the microphone. Just tested with the same result, and noticeable louder if you have headphones on prior recording.

By same result do you mean it did the same noise as mine ?
Yes, there was a tap at the beginning
have you tried to uninstall and reinstall instagram?
it sounds like IG is turning on the Mic when you attempt to record a video

Yeah, nothing changed. Did it happen to you too like on my video ? This shouldn't happen normally. I don't think the problem is on Instagram since Snapchat does the same.
still not a hardware issue per se, more of a program issue, other programs do not have this issue so it might be apps that will need to develop a fix or samsung needing to software fix this. and since the camera app is fine, it points to apps needind to make adjustments
Does anyone know where I can report this to Samsung ?

Samsung Members app.
but then again this happens only on 3rd party apps so not sure what Samsung can do there as it would be the app developers who need to fix this.

So I finally got an s22 ultra after the whole fiesta was Samsung locking my previous phone because the person I bought it off of scammed me. Only to find out I can't take a video of anything at all unless I restart my phone.
If I open my camera on my phone and I hit the record button it'll act like it's recording but if you look up at the top the timer has not started and then if you click stop to go and verify if it threw something in the gallery as if you actually recorded something nothing is there. So I know it's not actually recording.
Here's a link to a YouTube video that kind of shows exactly what I'm talking about pay attention to the top where the timer is when you click the record button the timer doesn't start and it's not recording.

May be dumb to ask, but are you on the latest firmware? which version/firmware are you on?

Yep this was an issue last update as well as this one. Current version: S908U1UEU2AVDC. I guess I worded my question wrong I know I'm not the only one with this issue I just more or less want to know if anybody has insight on if they fixed it or not. Because if you do a quick Google search of s22 ultra camera issues there's a whole slew of articles and post on samsung.com forums of people griping about this very issue except none of the articles seem to give a resolution that works and samsung.com forum mods are completely unhelpful
Can't replicate that issue. If you clear app cache and or system cache does the issue return?

Just tried mine. Counter is working.
Just an FYI so Samsung did confirm it was an issue select individuals are facing. They will be addressing it in the next update according to several Samsung news websites including this one pictured below
New firmware today. Thought I heard it had something with the camera. AVE4 for T-Mo
