Hi guys, as the title says I'm having problems with Facebook messenger video calling.
When holding the phone vertically the video is extremely stretched, in the settings messenger is set to be optimised for full screen,
which it obviously isn't. I don't have an option to disable the full screen for the app though. Has anyone else come across this issue or have
any idea how to fix it? I've tried re installing the app but it's made no difference
I had a video chat last night in the app with no issues

Gents,
Seeing as it seems all vid conf software is not working yet. The HTC EVO 4G comes with software pre-loaded from Qik. It supposedly will work Android to Android with the front camera. Can someone rip the .apk off the phone and try it with two tabs?
Like everyone else, I would love to get at least android to android video conf to work.
i find that fring is more useful than qik. fring can go from android to iphone. link for fring apk
I don't have a g-tab yet, but from my understanding fring doesn't work. The audio makes it unusable.
Seeing as I don't have a tab yet, can someone try this on their tab and let me know if it works properly? It is supposed to be the video version from the EVO.
Yahoo messenger works for video calls. Though you have to hold the tablet in portrait
Good to know, thanks. Seems like the best mobile/tablet/desktop option at the moment. How is the video quality over 3G? 4G?
Is it just me, or is there a screen/webcam orientation problem? When using yahoo messenger the other party sees me sideways, 90 degrees off, when I rotate the image is still off by 90 degrees. When in the camera app the image is inverted, in landscape mode the image is correct, when I rotate the gtab the image is inverted (I'm upside down).
It's obvious that most of these video chat apps were written assuming the end user would hold the device in portrait mode with the lens over the screen, however, viewsonic installed it over the screen in landscape, but should have converted the image somehow.
I'm considering cracking the gtab open and rotating it myself, hopefully this should take care of it.
Does anyone have this same issue?
I have the same issue. As I am not totally thrilled with yahoo messenger, I am waiting until Google talk or skype come out with a better product.
One thought...had you tried to turn off auto rotate prior to starting the chat? I was going to do this, but havent gotten around to it.
Hi everyone,
I am having an issue with my S3 receiving short videos via SMS/MMS. When I try to open the video via my messaging app (tried with both Go SMS Pro and stock), it just displays a still photo, but the audio plays. Also, the photo is very small and on the top of the screen. I'm aware of the stock messaging app giving people fits with a photo acting as a short, couple second video, but not in my case. It is the other way around, but the sound of the video plays, with a still shot photo.
I am on Clean Rom 5.5.1 with the latest version of LeanKernel.
Installed CleanRom 5.6 and the problem is gone. However, I doubt it was a problem with 5.5.1. Probably something I tinkered with and broke. All is well now.
Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....
I have the G955U version of the S8 Plus. Most apps that I use will occasionally refresh while I am using them clearing any progress that I may have had. These refreshes will normally happen in pairs as well, happening about 30sec to a minute apart. The most noticeable refreshes happen on Snapchat, Youtube, and Twitch apps.
So for example, in Snapchat if I take a picture and put a caption, etc. it will refresh and I will be taken back to the picture taking screen forcing me to retake a picture. On youtube, I will be watching a video and the video will reload and start where it left off and then it will do it again about 30 seconds later however this time, the video will be black and I can still hear audio. I normally fix this issue by going to the next video and then going back to the original video. Twitch will just reload the stream and chat. It seems as though this will happen on most apps, including games and messenger apps. But I haven't had it happen on browsers yet.
Any ideas?

In this thread they suggest it's a network issue. So far, with airplane mode on, i've had no screen refresh issues.
Hi so recently discovered that mms is terrible through one plus messaging app so downloaded Google messages app which I used to use on pixel and any other Android.
My issue is when accessing the camera to take a picture through the messages app everything looks stretched vertically. Once picture is take and sent it appears shorter and normal. I have disable on screen button not sure if that has something to do with it.
I had the same exact problem, so I went to Textra and everything is working fine.
