Hi, I've got an issue with Skype since I installed ICS, everybody I vodeo-call is reporting seeing me green, apparently the video-stream is corrupted somehow, is this a known issue and is there a way to fix this, it is REALLY annoying, the video is also quite slow, "lagged" (Not sure there, I don't really trust Google Translate on this one...) the video is "offset" by a second (tell me if you don't understand this last sentence, I didn't knew how to tell it so I used Google Translate ;-) )
Thanks in advance
Try different kernel .

Its a known issue with ICS. Skype needs to upgrade their software.
Use Yahoo for video calling for now. Its more clearer and louder sound!
skype green screen sucks
Yeah, i got the same problem here and having read here and there, it's been a known issue (to us users and to them, skype developers) for a while now, so they really need to speed up things, otherwise they'll be witnesses of the greatest migration ever of users from skype to other (better supported) video-calling apps!

Hi,
This is a known issue with the ICS Sensation ROMS.
Not all ICS ROMS are affected.
It works absolutely fine on my Transformer Prime.

Just picked up a 32gb version and noticed that the Voice Search function is not that accurate. Anyone have same experience? fix?
Voice recognition is horrible for me. Usually I get nothing even close. Often I just get a string of lol lol lol regardless of what I say. It feels like it is mocking me. On the other hand the voice recognition on my dinc is outstanding and never ceases to amaze me. I assume the mic on the Transformer is as bad or worse than the lousy speakers. I've given up on voice recognition on the Transformer. Overall my htc dinc out-performs the transformer as far as delivering a good user experience goes.
I appreciate your post as it is good to know it is not just a problem on my tablet. Anyone else?
Post script- That said, I still love the damn thing
This continues to really bother me as I am using the feature much more often on my phone. Of course it is most useful on the phone while driving, but it works so well on my phone that it would be great to have in my TF. I tried every version of English in the settings. I have made recordings and they sound is fine. I just cannot get any voice recognition. Often i get only one word from a sentence and that is incorrect.
Is anyone else having this problem?
no, just try to speak w/ wide mouth like people in India (try to smile while you speak, it will work, I guess you have something common speak problem)
I don't know what's up with you guys but it works fine for me. Actually it works great. It recognizes almost everything I say and even when I say some really oddball things that I wouldn't expect it to know it does. Really amazing algorithm they're employing on it.
Maybe your mics are defective? Have you guys tested to make sure sound recorder can even playback your voice? I remember a guy was on here a couple of weeks ago and he said the voice recorder didn't play anything back and it turned out the mic was broken.
That or maybe you're not pronouncing words correctly, may have an excessive accent or you're not following proper syntax.
I just tried this for the first time because of this thread...mine worked amazingly well.
I could only get it to get less than 100% when I tried to trip it up with:
Northeastern Pugs of the Himalayas.
It got "Northeaster bugs of the Himalayas" or something...just missed one word.
But things that I'd use for a real search....100% accuracy.

That's how it is on my phone, truly amazing. My phone also has an option for Google to collect voice samples and improve it more. Don't see that on TF.
Since my mic seems to work fine it must be some other problem on my tablet. Maybe if I ropt and flash another rom it will improve. I really don't want to have to rma.

Don't understand that last part but I'll give it a try!
voice recognition
I am having exactly the same problem, it works amazingly well on my phone, but it is worthless on the transformer. Did anyone ever figure out a solution?
All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.

try viber.
I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.
Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.
This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).

i wish you had right about that but as i learn from developers it's about kernel and if anyone will fix this then it's have to be a developer. if i found a solution then i let you know.

hi all,
just got m new suberb one s, but using skype is a nightmare..
it makes crackling noise even during dialling
anyone noticed the same fault?
navigon also gave me the same error.
but..games, videos, movies are ok (sygic too)
thnks
ric
Yup, have the same issue. Skype sound quality is terrible.
I think Skype has to fix their app to properly work with the phone.
Black One S, bought in Germany w/o branding
Yup same problem here, same issue on gta3.
..
"good" to know
tanks guys..
so its not just me...
Ric
I have the same issues, Skype and GTA have a crackling sound. HTC suggested a factoryrest , didn't help though ....
I guess this is ICS unsupported feature
Nope. Had Skype on my sgs with ICS, no problems whatsoever. Or any of the games. Beats audio issue maybe?
is it possible to disable?

stil lcrackling with new skype.....
lovely
horrible here too
It is way bad on my phone too.
Perhaps Beats Audio, are there any ROMs out there without Beats? Maybe it works on the CM9 port.
wow
Bad, bad call quality on skype T-mobile USA. Didn't the quality control engineers test all features. This is very popular app. All of this support phone #s for t-mo and HTC are not helpful. I called T-mo for another issue and told them it's not just me people reporting such and such problems on web sites. Their response: "that does not mean this problem exist, I have tested 3 devices here and they are problem free" ...wtf
The sane Gere in Italy you can't use Skype on WiFi or 3g the phone start cawing

I also have the crackaling sound on Skype, but when I use my Bluetooth headset the crackling is gone...
I think it's probably feedback related. I heard humming and crackling. Both stopped after I started using my headphones.
Had the same problem with Skype. I only use Google talk now, video is clearer, sound is better
Any news
any news about skype on htc one s?
Video lag, sound problem ...

Same problems on One S.
Also have Incredible S - skype work's fine on it.

Hi All,
Have the same problem with my Sensation after ICS update, did you find any solution , what is the cause ?
Hi all.
As the title says, I have tryed to make skype calls but the image that the oter person gets from me is very greeny. On my Sensation's display it looks like it should be but at the recepient I see my self like I am being watched thru night vision devices.
Could this be a skype problem or a phone problem? outside the skype both front and back cameras are working just fine.
I don't know if it has any importance but I am on ARHD 6.6.3.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
For some reason it is a problem on the Sensation running ICS.
On my Transformer Prime,running ICS,it works absolutely fine.

It is an ICS problem with the Sensation. Just wait for skype to fix it
Does skype for you guys sound crap as well? I just got my friend a ATT One X and she is P.O ed that skype sounds so bad. Tried it for myself and there really is terrible cracking when calling. Any fixes or such?
I have this issue too, it's more obvious while Skype is ringing when you are trying to make a call.

Yep, sounds like Sh*t. Seems like multi core studdering.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Yup, same here. Sounds kind of like the artifacts you hear when you turn up a set of crappy speakers up too much - a static/crackling type sound. Seems to be isolated to skype too - sound in my other applications and normal phone calls are fine. I also have a friend with this phone who has the same skype issues.
Kind of surprised there hasn't been more posted about this issue actually. Hopefully it will be fixed with the next skype software update.
It actually crashed on me when i tried a video chat with my mom!
I think the reason is that One X is still not certified with Skype to run smoothly.
The same thing happens with my Xoom running Team EOS' ICS.
Just give it time. Skype will do an update pretty soon
I actually didn't have any issues like this. I video Skyped the first day that I got the phone and the only issue either of us had (me and the person I talked to) was that on her end the video and audio wasn't synced.
More to it, the video looks like **** too, after a while shows pink artifacts, and they grow in size, soon the whole picture become pink...On the other end they see me perfectly fine. Oh and their connection is 10mb/sec both ways...
Also one time the phone started ringing (skype) but nothing showed on the screen, not even in the notification bar. If skype used the same ringtone as the phone I would never guessed what's going on...
Skype as used be one of the buggies/resources hog/bloatware, as it is now, as it will ever be, it's not gonna change I guess. And yet, I'm using it...go figure.

Yep, I've got that problem too! I've tried a couple of different builds of Skype and still the audio is clipping, clicking, crackling all the time. To add salt to the wound, Skype sounds fine on my older SGS2.
Did you find a fix yet?
Thanks!
I can confirm the issue as well.
I would try using Tango.
