Complete noob here so maybe I've missed something glaringly obvious, but how do you make a video call with the one s? I can't find any option for it and a google search only brings up ways to do it using an app or skype. My video call time comes out of my monthly calling minutes so when I'm travelling it makes sense to use it rather than skype as I have a capped data allowance and more minutes than I need.
Thanks
when you are calling someone, check options... is there any option for video call?

Nope, nothing there to initiate a video call. And then when in call I cannot find any option to turn on the camera for a video call. I've looked and looked (before and during a call) but I can't find any option to do so.
Ok I emailed HTC and asked and their response was:
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with making a video call.
I believe that the reason for this is because the phone does not make video calls via the normal phone function. It makes video calls using 3rd party software e.G. Skype etc. But as we do not support 3rd party software I would be unable to help you set this up. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Bit of a disappointment personally, but I suppose video calling isn't very popular so most people won't care. Still, was it really that difficult to add a video calling option/function?
But if your phone did support it, and not through a 3rd party app using internet, The receiver would also have to have the same set up right ?
And video calling isnt that popular.. Can you not speak with your provider and see if they can change the video call allowance into internet allowance instead ? Then you could use a 3rd party app like skype... Much more popular

Yes, but whilst I'm no expert, most phones I have come across with front facing cameras do support video calling and more importantly the people who I would be calling have this option on their phones.
Not to worry though, not a major issue. Just seemed a bit odd to me to put a front facing camera on there and not support it without a 3rd party app. I can manage and with all the free wifi hotspots I get access to through my package it shouldn't be a big issue.
i totally agree, It is a bit stupid to have the FFC, if they wernt gunna support video calls, they could have removed the camera and added something else instead.
like a external sd slot. or a laser beam what kills people... who knows ?
I dont use video calling, I hate people looking at me im the sort of dude that walks in the shadows with a hood covering my face lol
Setup a Google Voice account and then you can do video calls to other users over Google Talk.
I was able to initiate a video call to the wife's One S using Google Talk on my Samsung Note 2 with no problem but the front camera image quality of the HTC is so bad the feature is useless. I found this thread while searching to see if others had better results. The image on the HTC is dark and grainy on the phone's own screen and is so pixilated after being transmitted to mine it totally useless , the Samsung's is crystal clear.

Goggle+ works great and so does google voice which is a preinstalled app of android systems...

The front camera isn't actually that had. You just have to try to remove some dust from it. It's terrible design to hide the camera down there, it gets full of dust in no time

Using the stock povided kernel with the UCKI4 leak I have sucessfully recorded incoming and outgoing call with both voices. Most apps only worked with the speaker phone on but this seems to work internally. Have not checked to see if it is a battery hog yet either. I got it from one of the I1900 roms I was playing with and I think it is still on the market also?
I take no credit for the app or the rom. Just that I found that it does work. Testing has been limited so please also post your results if you do try it......
Thanks. Been waiting for Google Voice phone numbers to open up here in Alaska so I can record my calls. Sounds creepy when I write this but with my line of work I have to occasionally reference conversations. I'll let you know ow it works.

Nice to know I am not the only one from the great white north
thank you, ive been looking for something similar to this, i like how you can make it incognito and you dont have to see it running all the time.
I have a couple of companies that keep calling me after repeatedly asking to have me taken off of their call list so NOW i will record it and save a couple of them and if they dont stop i wil forward them to my lawyer! In the state of Texas only one person in the conversation has to know the call is being recorded to be legal. (obviously i know i am recording my own calls) now if someone uses my phone and they do not know about the app on there i would not legally be aloud to use the conversation in court. (as per my lawyers information)

OK so this modem does in fact work with call recording. Awesome! I tried for weeks to get an app to record the digital input from the other caller to no avail not realizing that the modem was the issue. However this app you posted does not (for me anyways) record anything but the audio coming over the speaker. What is working for me on the digital recording front is an app called total recall. It has an auto feature that finds the best recording setup. Option 3 or 4 worked best for me. But it does record both sides of the conversation without using the speaker.
EDIT **
Looks like only outgoing calls work properly. On any incoming call the caller cannot hear me until I go click speakerphone twice, and then recording uses the microphone, meaning is does not sound very good.
bad
who would want to record calls?

Any updates for call recording? I use the MIUI port 2.1.6
There is an icon for "record" in the dialer but it is greyed out.
I live in the state of Indiana where, as long as one party in a conversation is aware, either phone calls or personal conversations can be recorded. So it's 100% legal.

Hi. Came across this site and been going through it and love what I see. I enjoy this call recording. Works well on my Infuse 4g. Thanks
Are there any updates on this? Do I have to root and load a custom rom? I have tried the app and it seems that no matter what app I use, when it starts the call, the other party can't great me until I do the speakerphone on then off trick, but when I do that the quality of the recording is pretty much gone. Have to transfer it to computer and put the columns at like 500% to great anything.

I'm not sure about your phone. I see that you are on Roger's. I'm assuming that it is 2.3.3.
If you are still stock, I would suggest calling Roger's support.
I'm using modified unofficial firmware (MUF), rooted deodexed 2.3.6 UCLB3. Once I downloaded and install the apk, it runs in the background. Every time I made a call, it is recorded in a sound file. It sounded fine to me.
Anyway, sorry I can't help more.
If anyone wants a kinky recorded phone call, let me know. I'm selling them for $1 per download. It features Bigjoe using the Note, oldbbman using the SG3 and THE AMAZING JESSICA WABBIT on the Infuse, running AEON. Sorry folks..no videos available.
Also, does the front facing camera work as well?
It works great. I use it a lot and never had a problem. I've never used the camera though so I can't comment on that.

Would you be able to test the FFC?
Front facing camera works fine with Skype.
only thing about skype for android is it doesn't delete your chat/call history
I noticed that Skype causes high battery drain. It's good and video calling works perfectly, however it's adviseable to shut it down when not using.
Yes, it drains a lot if there are staying as background service, the quality is acceptable of course with iPhone 4

that just sounds weird to me, but Skype is bought by Microsoft now, so anything is possible .
I tried Tango, it works with the Front cam too on both Note and S2.
After installing Skype, my phone keeps switching to Edge and had a couple of random rebooting.
Made a Skype video call from my Note to an iPod touch, Macbook Pro, and iPhone4. All working fine but noticed that the Note switches to landscape view during video calls.
Tried to find an option to make it work on portrait view. Otherwise it works great.
^^ It used to work in the portrait mode as well prior to the latest update. Now it defaults to and stays stuck on landscape. I think the app reads the Note's resolution and assumes that it's a tablet or something.

Okay. Not a deal breaker really but would still be nice to have the portrait orientation option.
Skype video on US AT&T version
Can anybody confirm that Skype video works on the AT&T LTE version?
Specifically, does the front camera work fro making a video call like the Iphone?
The skype video call works fine between iphone 4s and Galaxy note no probs at al, the network management is good and the call clarity is appreciated.
It works, but one complaint though is that the video from the other side does not scale or occupy the whole screen. Such a waste of space. I hope Skype addresses this in the next update.
skype work !!
tango work !!
google talk video chat work !!
Hi, I have questions about google talk. So my brother and his girlfriend has a new Galaxy S II. So they can do a videocall with google talk.
My girlfriend and I, have a galaxy i5800 so we want to call us, but I don't see an option in google talk to call. Only in my brother's phone is the videocall, also, he can't call me, only send messages.
So, if only can to do videocalls, and not 'audio' calls, exist any way to emulate a cam to deceive google talk?
Thanks.
PD: I know Viber, but it consumes a lot of free RAM
the problem is: we don't have front cameras...
i don't use google talk so i can't help you with audio calls, but i suggest using skype. it improved a lot since the last update =)

This is why I ask to emule a cam.
Skype consume about 6-10mb per day without use. I have contracted 150mb per month, so I can't have skype installed on my phone. Also, consumes a lot of RAM

No..... What I know is, google talk can ONLY do videocalls or chat, not 'audio' calls. So in Galaxy 3 you can't do videocalls because don't have a front cam, this is what i am asking for, to googletalk mislead into believing that has front cam, and open the possibility to do a false videocall, but a call at the end
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.

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.

Hello XDA,
Just got off the phone with google, and found out that the issue with the popping noise in videos is not something they can fix via software . Google Engineers have recommended swapping out the whole device as there is no known fix via software for this issue...
What is even worse is that in order for you to receive a replacement they are asking for a pre-authorization charge on a card until they receive their defective device back.... Like we asked for a defective device....
i do understand the concern of them not getting their phone back but dang... that Sucks!!
Edit *
If anyone will the pixel 4 XL can reproduce the problem on their phones that would be great I want to know if this is happening to a lot of phones or simply to some..
record audio through an app and see if the popping noise happens or record a video using SnapChat Instagram Facebook and see if it happens if it does I feel that Google should acknowledge this and try to fix this as soon as possible
Popping noise in video?

According to them, yes . I was promised that I would not encounter the same issue with the next version that I got. I do recall the same thing happening with the blue hue on the 2 xl . it wasn't necessarily revision it was just one that was better than the other but the underlying issue was still there..
Hmm that's interesting. I was able to reproduce it with an Instagram story. I only record videos in the stock app but maybe I'll save getting a replacement for 1 year so that I can get a fresher battery. [emoji1]

I actually recorded just audio on Facebook messenger through the microphone recording option and it does it on there as well it's not just video whatever is recording is adding that sound.. at first I thought it was just audio but after hearing the recording I just did I realize that it might be something in the input driver that's messed up.. not necessarily having to do with video but probably with the neural core processing more important tasks like the Google Assistant's built in functionality.
crap i just checked my p4xl on snapchat and noticed the popping noise too. guess when i was using the past 2 weeks i always had a lot of background noise anyway to notice
Glad to see people are talking about this on here. I always assumed it as was going to be a software fix as I swapped my 4XL 2 days ago to "fix it" but it wasn't fixed, guess we have to wait for a new batch. argh
It doesn't happen on the stock camera recording app and it doesn't happen on some third party apps. It probably is a software issue that can be addressed with a patch in the future. I really would take what Google Support tells you with a grain of salt. I swapped out a device for another reason and they both had the popping noise on some third party apps and never on the stock camera app recording. You probably will get another one with the same issue as I highly doubt they made a hardware revision and the rep was probably just telling you what you wanted to hear to get you off the phone. I've heard it all before "Oh, we'll have someone in the warehouse check for it before we ship it out". Replacement comes and it has the same issue and you know it's all BS they tell you.
I could reproduce this error with an Instagram story. However this did not occur with WhatsApp voice messages. Maybe it is really a software issue?
Like the YouTube audio description says it happens on my playground mode while recording playground video.

Pixel 4 defect mic pop/click
I have the pixel 4, and it also makes the popping/clicking sound. I send it in for a replacement with google and the new one does it too. Now I have to return both, and stay with the pixel 3 for now. They almost didn’t let me return the replacement because I bought the original on release date from them and we are in November now.
Sounds happens, on Tiktok, Snap, Facebook and anything That recorded sound.
