What's the difference between this and Skype? I've made alot of videocalls on Skype and at least I can call friends on PC. What's the benefit of having Fringe installed? It's something like Whatsapp but for video calls as I see.
I understood that OP wants to make a 3G Video call...not a video call through whatever data connection it's active on the phone(including 3G). From my understanding that is a video call service that's depending on the operator. Vodafone is offering that in RO, I belive it's available for other countries/operators as well. And that means you can video call someone by his phone number
The service is described better HERE

Exactly rapier......
I meant the video calls through mobile network..... Not through internet....... Evn many java phones does this...... Y cant our much much advanced smart phones do this....??

I find gtalk smooth.
Think you can install gtalk with videocalls for desire s if you're rooted

Other option is if you both have the viber app
Plus Skype and fring as others have mentioned

I am in the same situation... I want to use this service too, but I started to think that is impossible with android phone. I had three phones with Android so far, but none of them have this option.....

As I saw, phones with 3G video call have a dedicated buton for this. This is not the case with our Android phones.
I called my operator now (Vodafone) and I got the confirmation. Android phones are not compatible with this service. Only phones that have a dedicated video call buton and are listed on the operator's compatibility list can use this service

Can some1 develop sumthing like this?????

3G native calling is not supported by Android. Only Samsung and LG android phones support it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I was searching for this some time too. Unfortunately only apps like Skype or Fring are making this possible on my Desire S, but the client has to be installed on the other person phone too and this is a bit limiting. This is my only dissapointment of Android so far but I am finding it strange to have this service natively supported on my 2008' Nokia but not on my 2011' smartphone.
I truly hope that someday someone will suddenly share a nice way do make videocalls through the mobile network with Desire S

Tango is a very good video call app

olyloh6696, you just opened this thread. Could it be exactly what the OP here wanted? I just recall, when I was using Edymion ROM, that I had that video camera buton but never tried to use it. It could be the equivalent of the hardware "video call" buton on some phones for making 3G calls. Someone with sense rom could eventually try it

I have it on Virtuous too. But how can we add recipients there?

You shouldn't add recipients...sorry cause I don't have the ROM installed to try, but I suppose that button works identical with the normal "call" button, just that it is a video call instead. The person you are calling should support the video calling feature and have the service active from the operator in order for it to work. The way it should be used is by selecting a person from your contacts, then call using that video buton instead of the normal call button

Ah thanks! That clears it up! Cheers

I'm on Syn-r50 as well.. You're using a hard wire not bluetooth correct? (as they had some problems previously with bluetooth that should be fixed now)
Does your Headphone mic not pick up (aka using mic in phone) or is any mic not working when you plug them in?
Cheers.

its been a big issue I've seen everywhere, a lot of headphones with controltalk don't work for calls and all. I've been going through headphones trying to find some that do. I'm now using the iBeats by Dre that come with the HTC Rezound and can confirm they work 100%. I'm running Synergy 1.7

It's hard wire I believe it can pick up and it pauses music but the call go to the phone

Yeah may be a question for the more technical savvy ROM people, there could be some drivers that never got included needed for the whole headohone thing.

I have this issue with my stock rom and its annoying as hell. Don't want to dish out the $$ for a BT piece and I love my handsfree bose wired headphones w/mic. It worked fine on my other phones but not on the S3, which seems to be a common issue. I wonder if anyone has gone to Verizon about this? I might swing by their store tomorrow.

I am on stock non rooted (yet) and I can tell you that my Skull Candy 50/50 can't be used for calls. Music listening only. But the headphones provided with the GSIII work. So based on what I'm reading, only certain headphones are compatible for calls.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Please

Skype?

Ok some of us use it on our Android devices but who actually thinks they (Skype) are keeping up their end of the deal with Android as they do with say an iPhone, I for one on a HTC One S so not find that the app itself is very good mainly they audio and I've had no issues with it on my old iPhone and yes I know why use Skype on an iPhone when they have FaceTime but I did so anyway who actually likes it or do you think that Skype needs a few ANGRY Android users in their ears to give them some imput?

ok
You can use other app, don't bother your self with skype
you can use tango , viber & yahoo messenger...............ect
there bis so many alternatives to skype

And whats wrong with gtalk? lol.

Personally I feel like Skype just works really bad on the HOS for some reason.. cause when I use Skype on my Nexus7, the audio quality is a lot better even though I'm on the same network connection and everything..

I have exactly the same issue with my HOS. Skype doesnt work well on this phone. Audio quality is quite poor. I have used skype on my other devices (on same network), and didnt have any issue with audio quality. Only with this phone skype seem to have some issue.
I had galaxy ace 2 before this phone and skype worked well on that device. The audio quality was great.
Seem HOS has some software issue, hope it will be resolved in next software updates.
However Viber works very well on this phone, i tried it, audio quality was excellent (on wifi).

Have no issues with Skype for video.
Tango is a good alternative but the IOS application does not work too well with push notifications imho.

Unable to answer calls when paired with the HTC One.

There is no answer option for incoming calls. Just "silence" and "ignore".
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

is not possible, sadly, not even with call handler pro, something htc changed in their phones, doesn't work on my Butterfly S either

Well I am using HTC One SV and can easily answer calls with call handling pro. With the native call handling though, you can only answer calls with Xperia handsets.
Now I think answering calls from the watch itself is to me at least not that important. When the phone is in your pocket without a headset, answering calls with speaker ON is useless. To take the call you need to take the phone out of your pocket anyway.
Now when you have a wired or wireless headset, you can always answer the call with the button on the headset. That is the setup I am using anyway. I have a wired urbanears headset with the answer button on it, so when I am out walking around, when I get a call, I take a look at the watch. If I want to reject the call I do it on the watch. If I want to take it, I use the button on the headphone. Win-win to me at least.
Note: just for the ability to answer calls I purchased custom call handling pro. Used it a little while but I am back to Sony app.

I guess you guys have android 4.3 on your phone's. Unfortunately One SV only has 4.2.2. So I guess as you said, it maybe HTC or even Google who has done something so that you can not answer calls via the watch.
Does anyone know how does pebble fare when it comes to call handling?

Buy and try it from playstore? Don't you have 15min time to try and returned it back, if it's not working.
But why is it always HTC when somebody has some problem?

Strangely that Call Handling Pro can't answer call with my HTC One X (ViperX rom), but sony's Call handling smart extension showing answer button and it work.
May you try this.

[Q] Volume mods for bluetooth, etc

Hello everyone, forgive me if this has been asked before, I searched and found nothing similar so here goes.... Just got new Verizon HTC ONE M8 on Saturday and love the phone but would love to know how to increase volume for bluetooth specifically but all volumes would be handy to boost if possible. Anyone know what system file(s) dictate volume levels? Thanks!

I just hooked up my Bluetooth to my ear and its pretty loud.

Had an HTC evo 4g lte on Sprint before this phone and it was much louder when connected to an in car Bluetooth system. That's why I'm asking how to make it louder.

You may consider using the "HTC car" app if it is available with the M8. It worked for me with the One (M7). See M7 post:
