At & T Video sharing

Is there any way to do international live video sharing or video calling ( I know video calling never going be happen ) Using AT& T 3G

it seem to work many places though
apart from the build in network support there dont seem to be any
other options apart from ms portrait which dont seem to work with any front cams
it's been working where i live for a few years now though very very few people really use it

I have an 8502 which supports video calling and when ever im in a 3g area, it will allow me to start a video call but the other party must have the option and also be in a 3g area to work I guess..? Problem is, I dont know anyone that owns a phone with video calling in the US. ow, its at&t too.

I have tytn II which supports video calling but, Even thought I have tytn I cant do video calling because at & t only offer live video sharing (One way video calling). Actually somebody having a phone which supports video calling in the US is useless. I don't know why USA is so behind 3g on GSM they are talking about 4G but still they haven't completed 3g yet.
So, Raspster it is not about the phone it is all about network. What I mean is according my knowledge somebody who has a phone which enables video calling that phone still can't do video calling in us because they don't offer the service( plz correct me am I wrong)

[Q] NATIVE 3G Video Call (Like Galaxy S)

How do we get native 3G video calling from our nexus s. My carrier is giving me (almost) free 3g video calling. And this is not like Fring/Tango. its over the UMTS network. My old nokia could do it. the Galaxy S can , So why cant the Nexus.
ROM Devs out there. PLEASE make this happen.
Thanks a Ton.

Didn't you read what the OP said? He has free/cheap 3G video calls. I do find it a real pity that you can't do 3G video calls with NS. I remember 3G video calls was one of the most hyped feature when 3G network was first introduced years ago. Many 3G phones with a FFC could make 3G video calls, it would be nice if you can make 3G video calls using NS to those 3G dumb (non-smart) phones.

True "3G video calling" isn't supported on Nexus S.... or any primarily US released phone.

i know it's not supported but as in Samsung galaxy S do, it must have a way to make it works, maybe changing ROM or something.
anyone?
BTW: the Google talk is very under quality, there are annoying "interference".

Man, people bringing old threads back.
Nexus S will do Fring/Tango just fine over '3G'.
The thread is specifically native 3G video calling. This feature is more popular/in use in Europe and Asian countries. That's why the real original Galaxy S supports this feature.
And No, the Nexus S does not. You will need to use an app like Fring/Tango/Qik/GoogleTalk to do Video Chat

my ns does 3g video calling through gtalk. tmobile disabled the 3g video calling feature so that only wifi video calling through gtalk only worked. but its really easy to re-enable the 3g video calling feature. and it works great(probably because of 6mbps+ data speeds over the tmo network in nyc).

hi all , the galaxy tab can make native 3g visio call to
i'm sady the NS can't for this time !!!
fring an other softwar are not compatible with all phone ....
So if we could active video on NS on native phone app !!! that's so nice

Hi, a sales guy from HTC told me that native 3G video call need to be supported through hardware chip, and hardware in Iphone4 and HTC phones is not support for that although they come with front camera. The guy even told me honestly that only Samsung phone with front camera is supported in hardware level.
Not sure why Nexus S which made by Samsung is not supported.

as someone pointed out, the nexus s supports video calling through the native gtalk app. also, tango and fring support the ns. additionally, skype free video calling now supports the nexus s too.

might get an answer
even i am looking for the same thing native video calling as in INDIA its new thing and cheap too....
In India there are hardly people using Skype,tango etc...
i was going through XDA forum and i got this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962&page=2
this might get the answer
I completely don't understand anything mentioned on this link but yes it clearly says activating SIP for ANdroid on SGS 2.
PS: I am noob if this is a solutions for samsung phone please update me about it as i have samsung Infuse 4G!

Native Video calling
Dear all,
I was trying to find the correct answer for the native video calling. I came across a really high tech thing for which we need a programmer and a 3G communication expert.
It goes like this.... There is a protocol which helps to communicate with the FFC and is based on the FRAMEWORK of the phone. In the framework you need to alot a space for 3G 324M protocol and the 3G expert will help the programmer to do so ........so that the voice call is integrated with the video in real time and with no lag!!
It's tough to do but do we have someone here who can do that in XDA DEVELOPER's?? or people are happy with the custom rom and Skype,oovoo etc??

It's not nonoheran fault..............google when launched gtalk app they mentioned it's a NATIVE VIDEO CALLING (through Gtalk).
he is confused.
but still not getting the answer ........ spoke to few people around the globe they say it's a tough job to do as they have to inegrate 3G 324M (video data calling)with H.263 (voice calling) in the framework.
for that we need java developer and 3G expert to work together.
hard to find above combination and even if you find they will not waste there time for us as every phone have different framework)
I am using samsung infuse 4g but thought would share my knowledge with you all so that if you people know someone like this (JAVA + 3G expert) you can get hold of him/her and get the things done!!

Google Video Chat on 3g i9020a?

I updated to 2.3.4 on my i9020a Nexus S. My buddy tried to gtalk video chat with me and it says:
'tried to start a video chat with you while you weren't connected to WI-FI.'
Do I HAVE to be connected to WI-FI for video chat to work? I thought Video chat works over 3g?

By default your carrier has to allow it. However, there is a simple workaround for that if you are rooted.

Well I'm on AT&T using the Nexus S. To my knowledge, AT&T doesn't officially support this phone so I'm not sure what they do.

I'm guessing it's a default deny unless authorized by the carrier. If you can't connect via 3G just edit the gservices.db as described above and it should work fine.

seems like it. I edited the file and it works now. Thanks!

FYI: I did it over Sprint's 3G the other day and the quality was good enough.

mine works out of the box, tried it yesterday from car for half an hour video chating with my wife, quality was pretty good A/V.

HD Voice on the Nexus 5 (AMR-WB)

Is there a way to enable HD Voice (WB-AMR) on the Nexus 5? For some weird reason, the Galaxy Nexus is supported by Rogers for HD Voice but not the Nexus 5.
Some people here have figured out how to enable it on the Galaxy S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2287992
But I can't figure out how to access the service menu on the Nexus 5 on 4.4.2... Or maybe it is already enabled but I can't check it?
Anyone who can figure this out will be the star of XDA's Nexus 5 forum!

it works fine on tmobile. its obvious when its connected, and sounds wonderful. theres no service menu, its just enabled.

It works out of the box on Tmobile. As the previous guy said, it's really obvious if it works.

I'm surprised on T-Mobile's End I had a full size sim from my Nexus s cut it into a micro sim and i was surprised to see LTE on an OLD sim card also HD voice does sound amazing its like landline quality but sounds better! but when it drops to EDGE or GPRS it sounds like [email protected] but oh well i got HSPA everywhere.

HD-Voice is bounds better than landline...i've only had it work between my mom's windows phone and my N5 on tmobile...at&t sounds like crap, all the other phones sound like crap too. I hope at&t enables it soon so I can actually understand my girlfriend better.

Works out of box here on Bell. You have to be talking to other people with HD voice enabled phones. Whenever I phone my brother on his HTC One it sounds amazing..it puts land lines to shame.

I think it needs to be support also via your carrier... but I think most of the carriers have them enabled...

But there must be a service menu to figure out if AMR-WB is activated or not? For example, the S4 has HD Voice capability but people have figured out how to activate it in the service menu.

Does AMR-WB only work when LTE is activated? I get frequent call drops on my Nexus 5 and some people have gotten relief when they disable LTE and switch to 3G.

Rogers/Fido offers HD Voice but I think that they have to add support on a individual device basis. It supports the Galaxy Nexus, but not the Nexus 4 or 5!
This is why I believe that there has got to be a way to access the Service menu on the Nexus 5 and activate AMR-WB support. People can do it on the S4!

That's weird. Clearly it does work on this phone on other carriers. Then again it is Rogers we're talking about, so I'm not surprised.

I want to know how to access the service menu to check if AMR-WB is on or not. Some test calls I've made (EE - UK) don't sound like it's working properly.

All solutions involving *#0011# and *#197328640# don't work. No idea what to do now :/

I was making some calls today, where I had LTE. The expected behaviour would be that the device switches to 3G for voice calls, but it seems to me like my N5 is using 2G. So it seems that despite being on a network which i know has working HD Voice, the Nexus 5 doesn't work. Bummer.

A lot of people claimed that HD voice is working for nexus 5. In my it did not (and my carrier supports this feature). Now, when android 5.1 released, there is an item in change log - provide support for HD voice. So no idea how this worked before, but will check it on 5.1 and hope it will work.

For me it is not working (despite carrier says it should). I am on 5.1 - same result.
I have OnePlus phone and HD Voice is working perfect - seems that it is phone or carrier issue.

Verizon Galaxy S6 jumps from 4G to 1X when making a call.

Got in a new Verizon Galaxy S6 and the second you make a call it goes from a strong 4G signal to a 1X with little to no signal at all.
Anyone else have this problem.
Is there a fix besides returning the phone?

Mine does that too. I imagine it is due to it not being possible to use data while on a non-VoLTE call. There are many threads about that aspect.

What's the fix?
Turn on HD calling and you loose your caller ID / Name / Number

I just went to settings, clicked advanced calling and hit activate then HD voice and video calling, wait a while then restart. Works just fine for me. Tested it before posting this just to be sure.

Mine was doing this but is has stopped. Enable Advanced Calling on the phone, then go to the Verizon website and make sure the feature is shown as active.
Reboot the phone. Wait 24-36 hours. Reboot again and the issue should be gone.
There seems to be a lag between when Advanced Calling is activated on the device and when Verizon actually begins using it. Not sure of the duration. It was about a full day for me. Since doing that, I have not had the warning message appear again.

Just be minded that in order for VoLTE to work, you need to be connected to a tower that supports it. If you're not, you'll drop off LTE since you're making the call over CDMA and new VZW phones have only 1 radio. Not possible for SVDO on any new Verizon phone now that they're moving to VoLTE.

Is the only benefit of Advanced Calling when you are talking to someone that also has Advanced calling activated on their phone?
Otherwise, what are the benefits of Advanced Calling?
Is there anyway to loose the video camera icon on the dial pad screen after you activate advanced calling? That thing would drive me nuts.

So does that mean all calls (coverage permitting) are being routed over VoLTE? even calls to non-Verizon HD capable phones?
Verizon implies that HD Advanced calling is only if both parties are using capable phones (VZW only) and are in VoLTE coverage area (and of course have enabled HD AC).
Is there any change to the way calls are handled for the majority of the time, when the above mentioned conditions aren't met?

I'm pretty sure what they mean is if you call someone else who isn't using advanced calling, the quality will be the same as they aren't on VoLTE, but you are. The quality is determined by the lowest quality of the two.

I'm not asking about the quality, I'm asking if regular calls to non VZW HDAC enabled phones are also placed over VoLTE and not over traditional CDMA
