[Q] Video Chat - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Galaxy s6 is an unlocked G920i.
When I open my contacts app and select a contact there is camera button between the call and text icon.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I tap the camera button it looks like its starting a video call.
then it fails.
and just says call ended
Anybody know how to make this work? Whats strange is that my wife also has a GS6 but hers is the AT&T Version and does not have the camera icon so I thought maybe it was just a unlocked feature but when I was at Best Buy they had AT&T and Verizon versions on display and they all had the button too except for 2 of them. So... does anyone know how to make it work or what app is needed to make it run? Also, does anyone know why some phones have it while others dont?

Bump... come on guys. I need help.

[requesting help] When the 3G icon inverts, cannot make/receive calls but can sms

Look at the screenshot below. The one on top is the norm and everything is nice and dandy. However, randomly at times, the 3G icon will invert to the logo below. When this happens, no one can call me and I cannot make any calls. I cannot find anything that triggers this and I don't know where to find support.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This thing can be "fixed" but turning off the phone and turning it on again in Comm Manager or a soft reset but there's no telling when it will happen again. It has caused me some headaches because urgent calls cannot get through to me.
My phone is a HTC Touch 3G (Jade) but the icon seems like a Windows Mobile icon so I've posted it here instead of the Jade forum.
Does anyone know anything about this? This is the stock ROM that came with the Jade.

[APP][2.1+][FREE] Flashback - Why is this person calling me?

My free Flashback app helps you figure out why somebody is calling you:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I find it really useful, and I hope you do too!
You can search Google Play for "uk.co.danieljarvis.android.flashback", or there is a link on flashbackapp.co.uk
just open settings page
Sorry if I'm beeing to nobish, but what I'm doing wrong?
Installed ML on my t2i 550D, working whell.
Installed ML Controller on my Motorola Defy CM9 rooted.
and the app always opens on the settings page. nothing else.
This is one of the best application in android Please make some changes in the application to show the time of when the caller last called/texts...Currently, its showing only how many minutes/hours/days ago..
The last call is not always shows the correct icon..instead it shows msg icon..Also if possible, display the msg content...

Anyone know what this is?

A new icon has started popping up in the status bar on my SGS 6 (UK) since the recent update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It only appears when I open Chrome, Flipboard or Facebook and is persistant for some time after the apps are closed (even if I kill the processes).
Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeap, WiFi calling.
I should have clarified that it happens when I am not on wifi as well. I also can't figure why it would be active in an app like Flipboard that is not in anyway a communication app.
Gonna clear and hard reset my device in case as this seems to me a little suspicious.
There is an option to turn it on or off in the notification center.
I dont have that option on my notification but it is the right icon so at least I know what it is.
Thanks for the advice guys 😀

Phone Dialer Sorting

So here is an issue so dumb, it shouldn't even be an issue, but here we are. The contact list in the stock dialer doesn't app doesn't sort correctly.
You can see here that in the settings screen, it it set to sort by first name:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And it works correctly in the standalone contacts app:
But in the dialer app is apparently like, "whatever, YOLO", and just does whatever the hell it wants:
So as a first time OnePlus user I'm a little out of the loop here. Is there a fix or a hidden setting for this I'm not seeing? Is it a known issue that might get fixed some day? Or is this a "feature", and how many other "features" can I look forward to?
Hey HeyMrDeadMan,
did you resolve the issue? In my case sorting is correct for some time (a few days) and then reverts to LastName, FirstName. Rebooting the phone corrects the sort. I am at my wits end.
Let me know.
Cheers!

Is there a way to replace the default Samsung phone app with a different version?

I bought the Galaxy S21 in the US and was very disappointed to find out that it had limited functionality than variants sold elsewhere (like dual sim and built-in call recording). Is there a way to replace the US version of the phone app with the non-US version so that I can have call recording functionality?

Right: Non-US Phone app

Welcome to XDA
An interesting question. Was thinking the same thing if it was possible on a stock Samsung.
Thinking about but no plans of doing... the stock apk is a little glitchy but overall works well and consumes little battery.
Switching to dark mode be an improvement for you. You can also easily change its appearance with free Galaxy Store themes.
What issues are you experiencing?
