green/black video on skype - HTC Sensation

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.

video chatting

hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?
Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:

Hey all,
Yea, I think I'm having the same issue.
Tango doesn't work, yahoo mess doesn't work. Fring DOES work!
Thanks for the help.

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.
Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?

Recording Calls..?

If you have a Senation already....
Just wondering if a Call Recorder app will work with the Sensation..?? I currently use the SPB Recorder on my Winmo TP2 to record and play back calls and it is a lifesaver with client calls (my memory is bad!)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-recorder-total-recall-dem/com.killermobile.totalrecall.trial)
(http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-publishandroidapps-vrecorder-jjDB.aspx)
Really would like to know before getting a Sensation as this is a very useful feature to me. Sorry if this has been covered, but would appreciate any specific info for call recording (not off the speaker). Appreciate it if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.
I tried out "2-way Call Recorder Free" and it did record both sides of the conversation. Speakerphone was off too, so it's apparently working correctly.
Many thx lezouave
That is really good to know...!
Appreciated

How did you get it to work? Whenever I hit the 'rec' button on the little popup, it turned on the speakerphone to record.

Actually, really want the auto record function. To have to press an additional button seems redundant when/if ALL calls can be recorded...

I know.. I still wouldn't mind it if it actually worked though!
Still on this...
Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?
Still really (really) want this function.
Cheers
I use total recall newest version...it works great

Thx for that.
Curious though, does it record well and 'without' the loudspeaker on?
In other words, does it record both sides of the call without an issue - there are other reports saying it needs to turn the loadspeaker on to work.
Please be kind enough to give some more details for all who are interested.
Cheers
both apps do not work for me...
the total recall made my phone go crazy..wouldnt record anything, couldnt hang up, then once I hung up the phone still thought I was on a call and the screen kept going on/off everytime I moved it...not good.
The other one (2 way call recorder) worked, but forced speaker phone. also, not good.
Any other options? I have a feeling Sense and the HTC dialer is part of the issue here..

I think this is what u may want
Androrec call recorder
It records both sides of the conversation, without having to put it on speaker, AND it starts recordings automatically.
All I have to do is periodically go into my SD card and wipe off non-essentials to save space.
And, before I get asked, I have no idea if I have S-off phone or not. I have no idea how to check, but guess have no need to, because my sensation does everything I want it to...
Thank you, I will try it.
AndroRec didn't work for me on the Sensation... could barely hear the other side.
Looks like Sensation is one of those phones that doesn't work well with the recording apps.
Yeah...it works without loudspkr turned on...and for both way...

Thx to all for the info.
Seems we have a mixed bag of success - can't figure why something will work on one and not the other..?
I am yet to dive into a Sensation, but this function is something that is vital to me.

I've actually had similar issues with the numerous Skype APKs floating around out there. For some reason, it only works on some connections and I can't confidently say that there's a clear pattern.
When I try to establish a videocall to my girlfriend's iPhone, it works just fine on WiFi or 4G. However, it gives the same error that you describe when I try to call from my phone to her MacBook.
Oddly enough, when I tested out a videocall between my account and a dummy account on any of my computers, it works just fine on WiFi or 4G.
It's pretty strange.
For those in this thread who have no problems videocalling, would you mind sharing what sorts of use cases have worked for you (i.e. Phone to phone on WiFi, on 4G, phone to computer on WiFi, on 4G)?

I actually had this happen to me before to. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how I fixed it because it just started working. It might have something to do with flashing to the latest Virtuous Rom though. Give that a try.

[Q] Skype corrupted video (green)

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.
