i've been looking for a video chat app for my nexus s and apparently, only Tango supports the front facing camera right now. BOOO Google for not having a stock app for this. however, when i do make a video call to someone else, it's super laggy and clitchy, to the point that it's practically unusable. it keeps telling me that the network speed is too low, but i made a few calls on wifi with at least 7 mb download and 4 mb upload. this can't be the case. Does anyone else have this problem. is there another app that would work with nexus s. Fring has good video quality with no lag, but it doesn't support the front camera yet.
I was amazed at how well tango worked for me. On 3G no less. Though I'm in an hspa+ city so I benefit and get outrageous 3G data speeds.
But for me Tango works better than expected.

Edit: Just checked from my Nexus S to my Galaxy S (i9000)...both on 3G. Was pretty smooth, actually. Front camera wouldn't work on the SGS, though. Back camera fine.
Same here...WiFi to WiFi and so laggy/choppy it was unusable.
I have to test it on my SGS to see if the lag was from the NS, or from the app in general. I suspect NS issue, since Tango gets a lot of positive talk about it.
This is one area Apple really hit a home run on: iPhone 4 on jailbroken 3G connection and FaceTime to another friend was like he was in the room with me. Awesome.
Moved to Q&A
this just pisses me off. i dropped $580 on this phone cause it was supposed to be the most advanced, but nothing f'n works on it. no new market, no video calls, no 4g, useless nfc, and half the apps don't work cause its 2.3.1. i know it will be fixed as soon as devs get up to date, but still. i love the phone, but it's just a let down a little by google itself.
i just made a call on 3g to another nexus s, and it was still laggy. can anyone verify that they are having these issues. i don't know if it's just the nexus s, or some other reason.

Did you see my edit to my previous post where I said that a call from my Nexus S to my Galaxy S i9000 worked just fine? Both phones on 3G (one T-Mo, the other AT&T).

yes, thank you. i did see it, but i just wanted to know if others had it. it seems that you are the only one that i know that does not have issues. my two friends, both with nexus s, have same issues.
Yeah, you are the only one who's gotten it to not suck. I guess you are lucky. I can't wait for voodoo to finish their app.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Sorry you guys are having issues, but the app has an average of 4 star ratings and lots of "works great" posts, so I'm hardly the only one who has gotten it working.
Really frustrating for you, I am sure.
Voodoo video app? What's that. I just wish Google would give us video that works across platforms in the gtalk app.
Yeah I'm sure it works fine on OTHER phones, hence a good rating. Anyway oovoo looks good, its in market and has a desktop client too, and has announced upcoming support for ns!
Edit: I said voodoo in the last post which is a donut shop here in Portland. Sigh. Its oovoo I'm talking about.

You mean there are other phones besides the NS...? Wow, I had no idea. LOL.
Seriously, of course I was have a senior moment.
very very surprised of how smooth it was on a data network, then i put it to the test on my wireless n router...ooooo its just unbelivable how great it was
The short answer for me is no.
Tried Tango on my Nexus S and my Galaxy S on 3G and wifi.
It's lagging all the time.
Tango lags for me too with a buddy who is on his wifi. He reports that tango works well for him to others (he has a G2). I'm starting to wonder if it is a latency consistency thing on my NS as bandwidth speeds are strong on my internet wifi.

Pretty sure Qik worked fine for me.
Qik wouldn't recognize my FFC... THAT blows.
Edit: Verified again just to be sure; neither the Qik stand-alone app nor the T-Mobile Qik Video Chat app recognize the FFC on the NS. Regular Qik won't allow the changing of the chosen camera, and T-Mobile's Qik app allows you to change the selection to the FFC, but the on-screen feed never changes from the rear-facing camera. BUMMER.
I know this is the wrong thread for the HTC Inspire 4G, but since we don't have a dedicated section for the handset yet, I thought this would be the best place to share these links.

Nice! Thanks a lot for the videos.
I was wondering the same thing - why no sub forum for Inspire yet? Anyways, I hear people are concerned over the battery life, as the specs are almost identical to the desire HD. What are your impressions on the battery life? With typical usage, will it last till night? Is 24 hours pushing it? I love everything else about this phone!
Itching for an upgrade!

Yes, this phone does have support for AT&T's HSPA+ network. Keep in mind that the 4G speeds may still change since AT&T is not officially launching is until March 1st.

Might just be that area, I get faster than that with my Hero here in Baltimore.
The Inspire IS a Desire HD. The only difference is that this version has support for AT&T's 3G bands.
Battery life has been OK, but not great. Under constant use, the HTC Inspire lasted about 9 hours yesterday. Keep in mind I was testing apps, running benchmarkes, and such. I'll hopfully get a much better result today as I'm back in the office and will use it for day-to-day pursposes.
I'll be doing some camera testing later on and i'll be sure to post a link once I have sample images and video to show off.
I was looking at getting the motorola atrix but off contract it's too expensive. This phone looks awesome with htc sense, blows my iphone 4 out of the water. Can't wait!!!

I would be surprised if rooting and sideloading isnt't possible by the first day I wouldnt think it would much different than the DesireHD. Custom rom will be able to be ported from the Desire HD thread i would think.

Check out the Android Development section on the Inspire 4G.
I've made a thread link to a program so we can manually push market apps we have bought and others that are not available on the market.
Its worked for other phones, now all we have to do is test it and see if it works for the Inspire as well.
Nothing can replace root on a phone but this is just a temporary alternative until someone truly genius gets to work on the Inspire.

so im really debating on this.
Infuse or iPhone 4?
im kind of stuck in the middle...
my main issue with this is the GPS...
and IOS seems to be more composed...
what do you all think?
I got the infuse coming from 3GS, my plan was if the infuse did not work out go to the iphone 4.
But everything is looking good for me on the infuse. If the next iphone does have a bigger screen i will switch to it right away. iOS is just too smooth to compare.
I really really love android...
but iOS is more composed...
i just idk i got to 8 pm to decide.
android is more hackaable you know...
im right in the middle.
did you swap the infuse out yet? i can tell you some new gps settings to try as well. you need to get into lbs test mode though. you dont need root for this so it wont void anything.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
I have owned both, I prefer the infuse.
I had the iPhone 4 for almost a month...it was nice, but very limited unless jailbroken. I switched to Android and didn't look back! I got the Infuse today and I don't seem to have gps issues. It doesn't connect instantly but it's pretty damn close to my position even though I'm inside my house.
I am also an iphone convert...iphone is a great platform with its own perks. But i prefer android, there is alot more options for customizing and functionality, however my personal experience has been that android is a bit more buggy than ios. Of course with a few tweeks here and there android can be fixed right up....ios just works.
There is also the issue of software updates, not all android devices get software updates, when apple rolls out an update everyone gets it. Its really an issue of personal preference. To me the androids pros outweigh the cons

I've been playing around lbs test and some good settings would be very useful. Does anybody have a link to what's best, or one of the people who say they get a 10m lock in seconds want to share their settings?
I am also coming from a 3GS. There is definitely more tweaking to get stuff the way you want. I wouldn't downplay the customizability of the iPhone after you jailbreak though. I also still have found good substitutes for tlert and intelliscreen. Over all I like the phone, and I think the 4g is worth it, although if I wasn't on xda and competent with technology I wouldn't recommend it.

Did your fascinate have the capability to get 20 mpbs uh no. Its the best out of the 4g phones period. Lg phone sucks donkey balls. Tbolt is a dam nice phone love sense wife owns this phone. The battery life sucks azz though 2 /3 hrs tops. The only reason I did not buy that phone. Charge better display than any other lte phone, better battery life as well. Makes it a easy decision.
A very easy decision. Don't know why people talks down to this phone and in a few more weeks we will have so much ROM to make it even better, not that it's needs to be.
It has 550 ram but 220 is dedicated to functions you cant control. The other is for all your apps and system apps

I guess exercise your return policy?
SAMOLED+ > SAMOLED > Super LCD > TFT.
4.3" > 4" > 3.8" > 3.5".
4G/3G/1x > 3G/1x.
8MP Camera > 5MP Camera (and honestly, better than the 8MP on the DX2).
It has more than "300k" ram.
But, you know, some of the above is personal preference. It's perfectly fine if you don't like the phone.
I love it.
I love my Charge
great batt life and no lockups or anything like I was getting with the tbolt
Grammar and spelling are officially dead on the Internet
It has 512MB of RAM, with a portion of that being allocated to the GPU and some other things on the system, leaving you with ~330MB or so. The GPU needs some dedicated memory to get such good performance, and I'd rather not see it at all, than see it and not be able to use it.
Lets be honest. Out of the box this phone is a pos.
Ive returned mine once thinking i got a bunk phone. On my second droid charge now and im convinced this phone has some hardware issues and samsung built it as cheap as possible. I havent lost any pixils yet but im not sure any rom will make this a sold phone.
I don't understand why people start threads to complain about the phone they own. If you don't like it, fine. Either get rid of it or deal with it. Complaining makes you look:
A. Like a baby
And
B. Like someone who didn't do any research before buying.
Wah wah wahl... We all feel so bad for you.

The only thing I can gather, is that folks like you don't care about 4G and didn't start with a Thunderbolt. This phone is far superior to the Tbolt... making it the best Verizon 4G phone available.
I had a fascinate and stepped up the the charge... I really like the charge. I like the feel and the look of the charge. The only thing that's going to top this phone is going to be the galaxy s2, that is supposed to be released sometime in the third quarter for verizon.

Ok,Here me out I know this has been asked but I have a different situation and reall y need input as of right now I've read so many reviews and heard so many diff opinions I just want some help on here.
Ok so I bought the shift 11 days ago and realized while I have no problems with it I do want the most out of my upgrade, that being said I turned my attention towards the nexus S, also by the way I only wanted to spend 100 dollars no more than that or I would've gotten the Evo 3d or some other dual core awesome phone. Anyways, I know I would give up the hardware keyboard but feel this is inevitable and something I will eventually do. However the NS has a faster processor, better screen, bigger screen, no crap sprint apps you cant get rid of and a forward facing camera which is a big positive for me.
Heres the deal though I never go against reviews and all the stats say that the Shift wins by like a whole start on every review site. That being said a sprint tech said they have more returns on shifts than the NS and that he loves his NS. So I go in considering the trade and the salesman comforted me saying he wouldn't make the trade. I took his advice then got home and thought well of course the salesman said that it'd be cheaper and they'd have to refund me about 50 bucks and a hundred in the long run. Also I read it has bad wifi problems is that true? I'm sorry for the disorder of this post, I'm just extremely frustrated and don't have much time.
SO I know this has been long, but in eveyones opinion what would you do? i know the NS feels cheaper but I mean does that matter? With a nice case, a zag full body cover and insurance should that matter? Also, the 16gb no sd card thing doesn't bother me I don't think I'll ever and never have exceeded 4gb.
I only have 2 days to decide.
Thanks everyone in advance
Idk about the wifi or reception issues since I have the GSM version but the nexus s is much better than the shift in every way unless u like hardware keyboards. Its not as flimsy as everyone makes it seem, its a really solid and well built phone. easy decision.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
HAve you rooted it? I really don't want to but heard that the reception was fixed with last upgrade BUT they also got rid of the free hotspot which sucks. Do you use the forward facing camera??

Yeah I rooted it since its so simple to do. Im running stock with a different kernel. Yeah I've used the front facer for Skype and gtalk, works well. I can't comment on the update for sprint because the update for GSM phones didn't stop the hotspot feature. But flashing a different rom will fix that for you and its really easy to do on this phone so you won't run into any difficulties.

Geez thanks so much seriously. I'm a noob at the concept of rooting my last phone was a shift and I couldn't stand it. I read the shift rooting info and was like no theres no way I can do this. Thanks!
OH and one last question it seems you can't push emails to it other than gmail is this true? I can't imagine this being true and the sprint tech said you could, just want to confirm with someone other than a sprint tech.

No wifi issues, or any other for that matter.

No reception or wifi issues I promise you. Return ur phone to Sprint and go to Best Buy you'll get the Nexus for free. Honestly would rather have this phone over the 3d or the photon. You won't be disappointed.
Edit, Best Buy is also selling the photon for 99 with the upgrade as well.

wow man thanks so much, unfortunately the best buy thing is only for NEW two year plans not upgrades womp womp still they'll have to give me 50$ back for what everyone seems to think is a better phone thanks so much to everyone any other comments are much welcomed I'd really like to hear anyones experience with the forward facing camera
WOw thanks all so much, and all other comments much welcomed, I'd love to hear any other experiences with the forward cam thanks!
You could always just sell the Shift on eBay and buy a Nexus. I paid $225 for mine last week and I'm sure the price will drop even more in the very near future.

Front camera takes great pictures and looks good on chat, I use Skype, oovoo, n tango. All works really well.

yea I think it will have ics after a month or two after the nexus prime comes out, but it will be the first single core to get ics. im pretty sure most of the single core phone wont even get ics but i could be wrong. lol
Do you think it will be able to properly run ICS? everything I've read says yes and that most likely hardware acceleration will actually make the NS faster and better, do you all agree with that?
I was in ths same boat as you. I came over from a hero read all ths reviews yada yada yada. I had no idea about root or anything. After doing a little but of reading I was able to root and Get the wireless hotspot back without any problems. Reception isn't bad at all on my phone, and I'm on wifi allll the time ABC it gets the sans signal strengths as my viao. As you said no bloatware to is great, along with knowing besides prime nexus a will get ICS before other phones. I had an eco for 3 days in a trial before the ns4g and am happy I switched. I am on the sprint network, and live in CO and even with where I work in the mountains hardly ever drop calls same with my widest nexus service reception is still great and fast enough to video chat which we do often and love on our phones using the front camera. Hope that helps!
