[Q] Video chat is sideways - HTC Desire S

I've searched the forums, google etc and can't see an answer to this. I've updated my ROM to the latest from Virtuous Unity running sense 3.0 and android 2.3.4 but when i try and do a video call, either with google chat, or Skype, my image always comes out sideways to me, and to the other person, no matter which way i turn my phone.
Any ideas why? Is there a solution? Tried a couple of other ROMs but same issue.
Any help would be appreciated

As far as I know this is a 'known bug' don't think there is a work around for it yet

Is your mirror app unsidedown when you turn your phone to landscape?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

also for me, i can video call with skype without a problem

Yeh so can I. But test your mirror app. What kernel are you on

using 'My Mirror' from the market, no problems in landscape mode.
Kernel is v9.

I'm a bit of a noob with all this flashing lark, i rooted the phone and installed the 2.39 virtuous rom, so no idea if that changed the kernel to the one that the phone came with. How do I know?
Installed latest Skype and you are right video is now correct, but still sideways on google talk which i use more and prefer. So guess it's a google thing?

Ummm.....yeah...never would have found that on my own.
Bigger question: How do I video chat with my wife's ipad2. We have tried fring, qik,tango, etc... because she doesn't have an iphone there are no contacts in her ipad and when I try to invite her she doesn't recieve the invited because they are email vs. phone number.
If this is off topic, please disregard it but we are about to have a baby and when I am gone I would love to video chat. We can do skype, but phone to tablet would be awesome. Easy solution: buy her an EVO..
Awesome! It works! Man, people are going to be suprised when I show them that!
Great Job!

She could try going to igoogle.com or gmail.com and try the built in chat but other than that I'm not sure.
Just buy her an evo or a Nexus S 4g lol

this rom isnt all vanilla just some vanilla stuff and still a lil sense in it. i dont know any dev stuff im just trying to be a lil helpful if i can thats the only thing i have came across that dont work right. its a great rom fast smooth and dev is helpful as he can be
but on the other hand my swype auto spaces now with vanilla sms were it didnt with the stock sms

Here it is. My room mate actually sent this to me via email. He was using it on his Captivate, and it works flawless on my Inspire. ENJOY!

EDIT: This is hit and miss. It DOES work on my phone (GingerBeast ROM), I am having reports that it does not work for most though. Many are stating they get audio and no video.
EDIT2: Please read post #10.
Just tried it and I'm able to log into my account and even select a movie but, when it plays, there is only sound and I don't get video. Running ace 1.01 if that makes a difference

Yup, same on CM7 b73 and RCMix 6.1.0.1. Worth a shot, though.
Awesome...I clicked multiquote and nothing happened.
I'm on GingerBeast, and works for me. Not sure what's up, as this was being used on a different phone. I'll update the OP to reflect this. :-( I'm sorry guys.
Sound no video on coredroid 6.3

As dumb as this may sound, I have to rely on someone else to try this method and report back. I'm "uptime" testing a Rom, and can't reboot. :-(
And also, 6 minutes and 23 seconds into Top Gear, and it just crashed on my phone...So it's officially not stable on my Rom either. :-(
**Mods, because this is not stable, can this thread please be merged with the one posted by gunnyman in General?
Well no luck running RCKingdom v0.2 and doesn't play at all but lets you browse. Sill early, I'm sure some dev will get it working in no time.
Here's to wishful thinking!
Inspire 4g on CoreDroid 6.3 with latest LeeDroid Kernal. Sound but no video. Even though it's half functional, I'm just happy the app is finally out instead of them ***** footing around release dates. Soon enough we'll be golden.
I'm running leedroid 3.0.3 and I'm still getting the white screen of Doom
I just tried it in gingerbeast and it doesn't work. I shows a black screen for 13 seconds and then it does back to the movie list.

Is there such a thing as a resource monitor for Android? I ask this, because my room mate has the Captivate, and it works fine. Always. Maybe witha monitor of some sort, we could see what resources are being used on the Captivate -vs- the Inspire and kinda compare from there?
Obviously these are two different phones, but the general concept of functionality should not be too far off.

Top gear is by far the best show on TV. Btw I'm running aosp rc1 and video and audio worked for about 15 seconds and now nothing
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
The room mate and I are gonna try to crack this case tonight! The plan is very stupid, but whatever. haha.
The basic principle of functionality should be equal clean across the board. It has to be the lack of a file or files that is preventing this. The hardware itself is VERY capable of working. This leads use to our conclusion...
I already had drmprovider.apk in my system folder, but did not have drmua.apk.
Tried adding this file and no dice.
Basically, if I already have the file, it will remain untouched. Anything else will be merged in, until it either works, or crashes the phone. I DO NOT SUGGEST OTHERS TRY THIS. I personally don't care, because I have insurance, under warranty, etc.
If we make any progress I will keep you all informed. And well...If I brick my phone, then I'll see you all in a few days. haha

[Q] 2-Way Recording for HTC One S?

Alright, so i was sifting through other threads on other phones and saw that the One X has 2-way recording enabled through a kernel mod and what not. In short, Id like to see if any of the kernels we have, have the feature enabled and if not if a developer would like to make it for us. I realize the legality issues of recording calls, I would just like the feature cause I record my calls with my loved ones.
Heres the link to the thread I found here for the One X
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567580
Thank you in advance! I love XDA, I finally switched to Cricket to T-Mobile and am loving my HTC One S
Kernel development pretty much just got started on the One S since the source code was just recently released. At some point in the future it will probably be an option, just keep an eye on the kernel threads in the android development section of this forum. When it's in a changelog you'll know you've got it.
Thanks a bunch Kinda figured that would be the answer, maybe soon. Id like to have that option. Gotta keep posting around and learn more about this forum. Ive been on prepaid for awhile, its kinda a big shift to come here, especially with HTC and their Sense modifications. All my previous phones have been Huawei. I definitely like the One S though, its a beast and all my phones previous to this suuucked in comparison.

I don't know about Viper personally but the previous post suggests it works. I also use call recorder and it works...although i recently ran into a separate problem involving call recording in conjunction w/ wifi calling.
But you just take that file and replace the same file in /system/lib/ (and of course make a backup of the original)

Hello. There is a solution to the problem?
2-Way Recording for HTC One S
I have HTC One S US version from T-mobile, sure rooted, Android 4.0.4 and of course no application (I tried a lot of them) doesn't record opponent's voice on my phone.
So replacing libalsa-intf.so under \system\lib\ didn't resolve the problem.
But solution for HTC One X fixed this problem on my phone. I just installed Sound_Phone_Original_REC.zip from recovery mode and now it records both voices well, no noise. Only one weird thing after installing that phone rebooted two or three times and it took about 3 to 5 mins but now everything looks good. All others appl work without falling.
I use Auto Call Recorder application which is probably 2nd on search android market (red circle logo with green handset inside). Others probable also will work but I already tired testing them. As I get all of them use the same recording algorithm.
Does any AOSP ROM allow 2-way call recording?
On Sense Rom like Venom ot Trickdroid I can record a call hearing 2 voices.
Last time when I checked CM or AOKP ROMs I could only hear my voice.
So, has this option been implemented in new AOSP ROMs, or Kernels?

if your phone is still new and stock i would take it back if its having those kinds of problems
but if you want a custom rom, then try CM7. you will need the baseband fix from the Domination thread and there is an issue with bluetooth not working with headsets
if you want to go with an ICS rom, wait a few more days and Genesis and Hellfire will be coming out with updated versions
