(Question) Skype not receiving audio from the microphone?

I've recently got this phone after selling my mytouch 3g slide to use as a backup phone, and yesterday, I noticed when I was using skype, the phone can't hear me, I tried the skype test call and calling people on skype. I'm running sensei's sense

There is one version that is actually working on SK4G. Found it somewhere here, on XDA, but can't remember original thread. Hope it's OK to post external URL here: http://xdjh.info/ftp/share/apk/skype_for_SK4G.apk
You need to set 'Use MODE_ON_CALL' in 'Tweaks', audio works fine with that. Both cameras works too. I've tested this software on RAGE firmware - everything works.

Good post. May include this in the next version of my ROM, I'll give you credit for finding this and setting instructions.

Sweet skupe at last :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Is there any JellyBean based ROM that Video chat apps (like Tango) work?

I've tried 3 Jellybean based ROMs so far, and in all of them, when trying to make a video call with either Tango, Oovoo, GTalk, Skype, and Google+, they all crash the moment the connection is made. I've been asking this same question in every Development thread, read through the entire thread, and no one has answered it previously, nor has anyone even recognizes it as a problem. Hopefully someones using a JB rom where its working, or someone can definitively let me know that it is a problem, and it hasn't been solved.

Im running Unofficial Liquid RC2. skype and oovoo works perfectly.

I'm on liquid rc2 also... but Skype has a call failed error as soon as the other person answers the video call. So you're not alone

Some Roms have it built in. I know Sky ICS had it and it worked well. Just remember that recording calls without consent can lead to problems..

Total recall claims that their recorder works on jellybean with root privileges. I'm currently in an email back and forth with the developer trying to get it to work on e skyrocket since it is a variant of the s2. I defiantly need the ability to record calls but I really don't want to downgrade. I'm currently running cm10 and it's soooo super smooth and fast.

Ihave been trying to get call recording to work on this damn phone for a while now and I'm getting a little tired. So far I have flashed like 6 ROMS in 3 days. I am currently running embryo 5.4 based on this thread but the recordings just comes out as a buzzing noise. There is nowhere in the rom settings that I can play with the recording settings,... Does this have anything to do with the modem I am using? When I do a complete wipe and fresh install through cwm does it change the modem? Does the lack of call recording ability even have to do with the modem?
Lol, please help me, I need this feature haha.

Mine works fine on embryo with the lf6 radio. No cwm does not touch the radio when flashing roms or wiping. They have to be manually installed.

Tasker can do it, there is a downloadable project for it, I tried it briefly and it worked fine, but not for calls on speakerphone.

Ok, so I am running embryo 5.4 and after I flashed the old modem from gingerbread, the recording works flawlessly.the recording quality is awesome and I love the fact that you must press record in the call screen built right into the app but I find the Rom itself very overwhelming. There are sooo many settings and so many different options and apps pre installed. When I go into the manage apps, under downloads there are like 15 different font packs alone. Also the media scanner seems to run for like 20 min after the phone boots, even after multiple starts. And they battery drain is pretty bad. Also Amgen I change the dpi to 200 where I like to Run, everything goes to hell. it I have found the best Rom battery wise is c9.1 is there any way to integrate the phone app from embryo into cm 9.1? They are both 4.0.4.......

Little update on the call recording on the skyrocket. Seems that the base kernel for jb supports call recording right form stock. the problem that I have been having and probably most people like me wanting this feature is simply lack of knowledge on the programming side. After a few emails from the developer of "CallRecorder" it was just getting the settings right. Using that recording app with source set to record from kernel, and recording in wav format all is well. I did lots of searching and flashing to get this right, so hopefully anyone else trying to get this working will find this thread and it will help them.
Cheers
Oh and on a side note,I am simply running cm10 stable with the stock Rogers uclf6 radio, cause I know someone will ask

Update
It seems that only incoming calls record. I'll update again amen I fight this out.

One word of caution - before recording any phone conversation, make sure you're aware of your state's laws. In many jurisdictions, recording a phone conversation without the explicit consent of both parties is a felony.

Ty, I'm in Canada, you simply have to inform the other party and it is their decision of they wish to speak to you or not
Update.
Re-flashed uclb6 and everything is working great on incoming and outgoing calls, bought a LTE Sim card, not that I think that has anything to do with it but I have LTE on my data plan, might as well use it lol.

[Q] CM 10 stability

I'm thinking of purchasing this phone for my mom as a gift. How does this phone run with CyanogenMod 10? I understand the International galaxy s2 have some issues with hardware composer. I'm under the impression that this phone has a different processor. Can anybody shed some light on if there any quirks with cyanagenmod 10 and the phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't run CM10, so I can't answer your question. But I'll ask you another one:
Why do you want to install CM10 on this phone? If you're looking for speed and stability, you can just use the "factory leak" soon-to-be-official JellyBean.

I prefer AOSP, but I could look into that as well if it fits her usage scenario.
Sent from my SCH-I815 using xda premium

CM10 works fine. I've been using it as my daily driver for months now. The only real issue is the occasional random reboot. Doesn't happen too often though. Another one is tap to focus in the camera doesn't work. Other than that though, nothing else that I can think of that I encounter on a day to day basis. Everything else is smooth.

[Q] Google Hangout Problems.

Has anyone else tried using google hangouts video chat with their phone? Mind you I am running the sense 5 rom. Every time I start a video chat with my girl on the phone, over wifi or data, it automatically freezes and resets my phone. Any ideas?

I'm also on Sense 5, I'll test when my lady gets home in a couple of hours.

I can confirm video call is not working for me either on Sense 5.

Thank you. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail. I'm not sure if it is the Rom or the app itself. I've read other forums talking about video problems with the app and I know ATT restricted video chat over their network but I am on wifi and it still does not work. If I don't get any other help here, I'll post the problem in the rom thread itself see if I can get a bigger audience.

I'm on the Telstra network here in Australia, so you can rule out the ATT problem, especially seeing as you're using Wi-Fi. Try recording a logcat and posting it for Imagio to look at.

I have been following this thread. I'd test on viper but I have nobody to test with

Haha alright I'll try a go at it again this weekend if I have time and get a logcat of it.

Video calling in hangouts isn't working for me either. Not sure when it will be fixed but we are working on it. Got a lot to do at the on this rom right now.

Same issue on my galaxy nexus

Was gonna say i know a few of you were on sense 5 but when that guy posted about his gnex with the problem i ruled the ROM out. I'll test later when on WiFi.
I could have sworn mine worked but maybe not. Is it force closing on you guys? If so when?
