Just wondering if anyone had tried hangout video chat or Skype video and experienced any problems.
I know it can be affected by many things such as the strength of the connection as well as the hardware on both sides, but compared to m my previous Lg G2, video conferencing is rather bad.
For one, the video is choppy, as if the phone is having a problem proceeding all the video feed.
For two, an unexpected problem is the counter part hears their voice echo way louder than mine. This seems happen because the bottom jbl speaker is tip string and close to the Mic on the bottom, causing the sound feed to echo loudly. Was kinda dumbfounded by this.
Just wanted to ask you guys to see if this happens to everyone, or I just me ...
Otherwise, the phone is quote awesome!
Thanks!
Did a hangouts video chat yesterday. The person I was talking too was slightly grainy on an iPhone 6 and her voice was breaking up pretty consistently. With that said, she could hear and see me clearly so it might have just been a bad connection on her end. She was connected to Wi-Fi and it is pretty spotty at her place.

It seems like the same audio routing problem seen in other Samsung Android phones also affects the Epic 4G:
code.google.com/p/sipdroid/issues/detail?id=366 (I can't post links)
This is shows up on SIPDroid and Fring. I've contacted Fring support about this issue. It looks like some people have fixed with a patch to the audio routing code in other Samsung Android phones:
forum.samdroid.net/f9/sipdroid-voip-i5700-problems-983
forum.sdx-developers.com/android-2-1-development/fixing-the-moment%27s-audio-routing-%28so-we-can-use-sipetc!%29
A cursory search shows this issue hasn't been reported here yet so I think I might take a look this weekend to see if the patches can be ported over to this phone. I'll admit I'm a bit out of my element here so I could use any advice and help from the seasoned devs on the forum. Thanks.
I was seeing the same thing on SipDroid, but then I tried Fring last week, and it worked fine. My biggest issue was the SIP call quality (with both apps) connecting directly to gizmo. It was really bad both over wifi and 3g. Almost unusable. Not sure what the cause was.
I agree that Fring call quality on SIP leaves much to be desired. I found SipDroid to be much better but still somewhat unusable. I have an Asterisk box at home so I can tweak things with codecs as soon as the audio routing issue is addressed.
As far as Fring fixing the bug... yes, Fring only fixed part of the bug in the latest version (2.1.1.24 I believe). Right now the initial call comes through the ear piece correctly. However, if you switch to the speaker phone during the call then the audio will never go back to the ear piece no matter how many times you click the button on the screen. The button on the screen will change but the audio is still piped through the speaker phone. I've reported this bug to Fring but haven't heard back from them yet.
Once they fixed it (if they can fix it), then I may ask them how they did it. At best they can tell us how they squashed the bug and then I can share the info with the SipDroid developers. At worst, they say no and we're not worse off than before. I still believe porting over the fixes in the other Samsung phone is an easier-to-implement solution than asking every VoIP developer to add a special case for Samsung Android phones (if that's in fact how they solved the issue).
Sipdroid still routing to speakerphone for me...
do you have to be on wifi or something for this app to work with video chat? i tried it yesterday with my gf and the video is extremely laggy and i can barely even tell who's on the other end of the chat bc it constantly freezes... maybe its me but it seems to not work AT ALL like a video chat should.
Generally, the faster your internet connection the better the video quality is.
Sounds like you might've been in an EDGE only area.
Hey guys! New to XDA. To keep this post short and simple, i bought the new Nexus 5 and so far its been great. However, i do have a slight problem that irks me in a bad way. At times google now will pick up my voice no problem. Google search, send a text, open a app you, call someone you name it, it works fine. Recently, however, google now tends to not pick up my voice, and the only way to remedy this is by restarting the phone. I remember reading about people have microphone issues and that phone calls sound muddy and video recording at times with bad units barely picks up ones voice. I, on the other hand, do not experience these problems. Only google now seems to show this problem. If anyone could help that'd be great . Im thinking since my video recording and phone calls are fine, its not a hardware issue. Do you think it might be software? I unfortunately cant post a video link in here so...ill try to rack 10 posts somewhere quick.
so it turns out XDA makes it pretty hard to post 10 posts. Just to get the quickest results, if you guys are up for it you can find the video on youtube. Just search "Nexus 5 Google Now glitch". the videos under the name john doe...lmao:good:
I have the same issue myself. 'OK Google' will work fine, then for some reason a while later it'll stop working. Sorry to say I don't know how to remedy it without a restart, but don't worry too much because it is a bug that is affecting other people too.
i see. im just wondering because if its a hardware issue i would wanna return it before im out of time.
Something is strangw with my OP6.
If I try to use Google Voice search the app doesn't "hear" my voice.
But also when Im having a call I need to be in a silient place in order for the people who speak with me are going to hear me well, If Im walking outside near a road with cars or sitting with people around me who speak the phone's microphone seems to take in all those sounds so it is very hard for the person who speak with me to "just hear me". It seems to be very sensitive to other sounds around me.
Almost like the phone is using the mirchone for the speaker calls.
I have reset the phone(stock firmware), but the problem remains.
Anyone knows what it might be?
Sounds like the noise cancellation mic (top of the phone) is not working. Could be a hw, sw or just dirt in the mic issue.
Hello guys! I have EML-L29.
I have strange problem with one of the mics - the one which is closer to the earpiece, top of the phone. So the problem is that the mic is very quiet - i think its responsible for when you change to loudspeaker, when you have phone call or viber, whatsup etc call, video call on loudspeaker. So i have to speak very close and quite loudly so that the person can hear me.
The strange thing is that it works normally when i say OK Google and Hey google. If I say this things, no matter how loud, i can tell them very quetly and the mic still pick up the voice, then i can ask Assistant what i want and again the mic picks everything how it should. But when i try manully to voice search, or manully to ask Assistant something, againt the mic brokes and can't pick up my voice normally, i have to be very close to it and speak very loudly.
I had this problem with EMUI9, updated to EMUI10, stil got it, fully factory reseted it, still no change.
For what i searched on the net i saw that the top mic is part of the motherboard, so its pretty much no point of changing it.. the bottom mic is on its own board, so its easy job.
Still i dont know if its hardware or software issue. Its very strange, normally it dont work, but when voice call the Google Assistant it starts working as it should.
I will be very grateful if someone knows anything about this or some tips on how i can deal with it
Thank you!
