Hello everyone,
I've been having these issues with the latest version of Skype for quite a while and I'm not sure what appears to be causing them. Whenever I have a video conversation on Skype, the video stream tends to stop after a certain period of time and the only solution I've found so far is to close Skype and relaunch it. Also, sometimes Skype rings for a couple of minutes until I'm able to successfully establish a connection with the person I'm trying to call. I don't know if it's because Skype hasn't been very well optimized for KitKat version 4.4.2, but I suspect the camera mod that I have might be causing this. Do you think this is possible? Or do you have any other ideas?

So I have an issue about something that I have been unable to find anywhere else regarding. I have a B70 TF101 with either 8.6.5.12-20110925 or 9.2.1.24-20120503 (really any version of ICS it affects). My girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 running the latest version of HC released for it (not sure). When we video chat (both using our own WiFi), she hears what sounds like feedback on her end which increases in volume over a period of a few seconds. The only way for it to cease if for me to introduce a loud, sharp noise (like flicking my microphone). Then it stops for about a minute or two before it starts again. It repeats this process throughout all of our chats. This happens both on Skype and Google Talk. I downgrade to HC and the problem doesnt appear.
I have tried video chatting with her with my dads TF101 (same everything, but on ICS) and no issues arise. I try web chatting with my dad on mine to his TF101, and again, no issues. I have tried several factory resets, to the point where I would do a fresh ICS install, then install no apps and try it. Still the problem persists (so it eliminates any possible conflicting apps).
Has anyone else ran into or heard of anything like this? This happens both with the mic on the tablet and the mic on an apple earbud set.
I have a rooted stock HTC One S running 4.04.
I recently discovered an interesting problem. I've been using the Call Recorder app for a while now and it works great, but the other day I discovered that if i'm using wifi calling to make calls, my phone crashes and reboots. I disabled the Call Recorder app and it solved the problem. The other interesting part is enabling speaker solves the problem...so as soon as I place the call, if I hit the speaker button, the phone doesn't crash.
I haven't had the chance to try any other apps yet. And it's not really a big deal as i rarely use wifi calling. But I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to why this could be happening or if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks!

Hey I have searched the forum and so far I have yet to find a solution to my problem. I have the Droid RAZR Maxx HD running on Jellybean. I am not sure if the problem was present before I upgraded to Jellybean.
I don't use video chat very often, but sometimes it comes in handy. Especially handy when you're troubleshooting something remotely. Ok I have tried Tango, Skype, Fring, ooVoo, Google Talk video, and Facebook video. Each one of them seem to do something different. Tango will dial the other person up and start my camera, but it will never let us connect. When I attempt to hang up a Tango call all it does is turn the green light off under the video camera icon, and the video camera stays on. I have to press the home button and force close the app. Skype will just force close if I attempt a video call as will Google+. The ooVoo app allows the video to work fine on both ends but we have zero audio and I've been unsuccessful finding anything in settings to change that. The Fring app let's the other person see me (they were on a Samsung Galaxy Note II), and we can hear each other. I can only see my own camera on my screen, though. So far ooVoo and Fring seem to be the closest to being working apps for me, but they still are not functional enough to be of any use. I contacted Verizon about this on the phone twice and visited the store once. The guy on the phone this morning said that it was likely something with the jellybean upgrade. The guy at the store last night said his works fine with the same kind of phone, but I'm not sure about that personally because I never saw him get it to work. The only phone he tried to initiate a video call with was mine. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get around this. By the way, I also tried clearing the cache and the data for Tango and uninstalling, installed an older version of Tango from Google, but that only force closed. Please let me know if you need more information to help solve this issue, and thanks in advance.
Anyone ? ? ?

[Q] Installing Android L Causes Facebook Messenger, Skype & Video Streaming Crashes
Hello Dears,
I have Nexus 5 and just today I've installed the official update for Android Lollipop, After doing the update, Facebook Calls, Skype Calls, Viber Calls, and Streaming any video through the browser causes crashes to these apps and the device freezes for around a minute before it comes back to work normally,
I guess the issue is that there is something stopping those apps to function, some of the things I've done hoping the issue would be fixed are
Restart the device
Remove apps and reinstall them
Try different internet connections, 2 wifi's, 1 3G connection
And nothing fixed my issue of having those apps crash before they run. would really love your support on this
Hello!
I have a major issue during videocalls using google duo, skype where if there are any background noise around me, i can't hear the person i am talking to. The audio cuts off. It has to be silent around me in order for me to hear the person i am talking to. Is there any fix to this problem? I have already reset the phone but the problem is still there.
mic (over) sensitivity? perhaps some will stop by and know the file and file entry to edit.
any of this type setting elsewhere (Settings, the app itself, and sound modification yo have installed, eg Viper, etc... that you can check/get to?
I have no sound modification installed. I checked the settings but there seems to be no part adressing this issue. The same problem happens when i use different apps like skype, google duo and signal. Could it be a hardware problem? The microphone works fine when i record a video or recording audio.
Maybe.
Rooted? If so, and you've done a full, clean install, and sure that the install is working ok, maybe try another custom ROM.
Normal calls work, as I get you it's (just) video calls? Another possibility, I'd consider looking up mic sensitivity and ways to decrease it. On the OnePlus One I am aware there was a configuration file folks could mess with to try and resolve that phone's mics over sampling. That was a common issue for many.
Have you tried turning the volume down and see if that has any effect?
Wish I could offer more ideas, I have used video calls maybe 3 times in 8 years.
The phone is not rooted. This problem occurs only when i use internet based videocalls (skype, google duo). The volyme is not usually high when i call. Thank you for your time, hopefully i will find a solution soon.
Frustrating. Good luck.
