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.

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.

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:

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?
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

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.

That don't work, I have tried all of them, none work without doing the speakerphone thing. I was just wondering if there is a way to record straight from the line and how stable it was on the infuse before I decide to root and go to a custom rom.

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.
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 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?

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

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

Hi All,
Have the same problem with my Sensation after ICS update, did you find any solution , what is the cause ?
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

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.
