Interesting. I actually *just* heard about this after writing that. Funny, since the release last month I've been trying to figure out why it was crashing (as well as most of the G-tablet forums), and no one really had an answer. Not sure how we all missed that, thanks for pointing it out.

Meanwhile, this post gives me hope for the future:

run's ok on my captivate running jvq ROM the only issue i have is i have to turn off the video first then choose the back camera to make it work when i dont do that its just black screen. I think it would be better if the option before the only one camera stayed so that it will default the back camera.

Fascinate / CM7 bugs

Hi all,

I'm running this on Verizon Fascinate with CM7 Beta (jt1134).

It only recognizes the rear camera for video calling. That camera works fine, but as you all know, SGS has a front-facing camera as well.

Any suggestions? Happy to edit files, do whatever.

Ok I'm lost now and my question is if skype working on Acer Iconia Tab Running 3.1 skype ver 2.1.0.46 and not having video anything to enable etc.
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Did you try the rotation functions in the advanced settings? Possible the front cam settings are for the rear cam and the rear cam settings might be for the front cam. Did you try both?
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Some comments about this v07 beta.

- Apparently on some devices that SHOULD technically be able to videocam (and where v06 and older worked), there is no enable videocalling option. I read that a few pages back from someone with a Desire HD (which is even on the official list of supported devices!), so I think the force enable-video calling option needs to come back. Maybe it should only be visible if there is no "enable videocalling option" in the normal skype settings, otherwise it might be confusing with two similar options in different menus...

- Sometimes for whatever reason I get a popup that says I need to reinstall skype... haven't figured out yet what the purpose of that is or what triggers it. *Seems* only to happen when my settings are not correct for a working videocall, in my case when "avoid setfps" is disabled.

- Things work well for me, only "avoid setfps" is required to get working videocalling on my hd2. Only small issue is that my own preview window of the rear cam is mirrored (wasn't like that in previous skype mod versions), and i have to mirror the FRONT cam (even though i don't have a frontcam) to get it to be fixed. Anything that can be done about this?

- Mirroring of the incoming video would be nice, because indeed it is mirrored compared to what the desktop skype is sending. But not a biggie...
[Android Apps and Games] Dishe:
I think the Iconia is also running the Tegra chipset. Apparently none of the Nvidia Tegra based devices work due to hardware decoding that isn't present. Really disappointing.
[Android Apps and Games] ChoctawT:

All Skype versions do not work on my phone.

I have tried most of the versions, even the new official one that supports i9000. I am on F1 rom and speedmod kernel. I enable video calling in settings and when I try to attempt to video call...it shows the video, but when the other person answers it disappears to the portrait view. I hit the video button, it goes to landscape mode and back. I checked the settings and it recognizes both cameras. Is there something that I have misread?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] emreng:
thx for the upload. I will try!
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
no you haven't misread, but have you tried to play with the advanced features; in particular "avoid setfps", and the video resolution ("let skype decide", "force 320*240")
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
I have installed v07 but can not get the video option to work. There are no video options showing up under the skype settings. I tried both "let skype decide" and forced resolution settings using theseo0o advanced settings menu.

[Android Apps and Games] ticksp:
theos0o In first word thank you very much for your release! Very good work. V7 work fine on my M7++ (Clone of Dropad) tablet PC, but have only one problem. This device have only one rear camera, but this camera is detected like back camera that why I can see me own on big screen and my opponent on small sreen. In previos version V6 I can switch between camera and so no problem, but in this version it's impossible because only one camera is shown (in previos version two camera shown). Can you fix this? Or may be just not automatically select camera, like in previos version, or make this like option?

Thank you in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Double tap on the small video-window and they will swap. ;)

Edit:

Today or tomorrow I will release v08 beta.

Will have "Force-enable video-calling" toggle and hopefully some more details.

[Android Apps and Games] eddyther:
Hi, the v7 doesn't have the enable video option. I saw that the new Skype version detects eon and android 2.3 and allows video by default, but your modded version doesn't allow it on my desire with android 2.3.

V.6 was working just fine.

I have played with the avoidfps but not the video resolution. Will give that a try.
[Android Apps and Games] lilagusmao:
I know you said that your build only work with gingerbread but....

I have froyo and it installed on my tablet!!! When I try to click on advanced settings it FC, if I try to make a videocall it FC too... but if I make a non video call, and add video on the computer I can receive video on the tablet. If in the tablet I try to add video (here it says it is a rear cam, but I actually have a front facing camera, it only shows a black screen on the tablet, on the computer it shows like is trying to connect to the camera.

Sounds like the best version yet! (of course, each version is improving), but it just feels complete now with the flip incoming video option! Everything is possible now!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yep ;)

Rotating camera + rotating incoming video = portrait? ;) :p
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
you've got some point there, still i have no clue as i'm not a developer :P

that would make it even more complete, like going to 110%
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Just to confirm, the flip incoming video option works just as expected, great :)

I can imagine there are some specific devices/roms which don't work 100% yet, but for me, everything works amazingly. Just the portrait video would make this out of this world. I don't even need it, but it would make this an ultimate mod :P

Oh, and any indication the front cam and back cam might be switched for more devices than just mine? If that is the case maybe better to rename it to camera #1 and camera #2, because if the naming is not correct, then what's the point of referring to them as back cam or front cam. I don't really care though, just thinking of things to make this mod more perfect :)
[Android Apps and Games] zerozoneice:
am i seeing right that the latest v8 version is based on the previous 2.1.0.46 Skype instead of newer .47?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
@barty22

Your ROM is buggy mate, the "front"/"rear" labels are correct, detected using GB camera API. :p

The latest is 2.1.0.46, not 2.0.0.47 ;)
[Android Apps and Games] uzi2:
2.0.0.47 is older than 2.1.0.46
[Android Apps and Games] uzi2:
Fast updates and quick on the draw too :)
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
There is no real 2.1.0.47: "The release build number for this release is 2.1.0.46, if you download it from Android Market, 2.1.0.47 in case downloaded from Getjar." Source. I don't even know what Getjar is lol, anyway some developers are known for changing the version number a little bit for the same software downloaded from different markets or whatever.
[Android Apps and Games] zerozoneice:
i missed the "1" in the build :)

anyway, the front camera is showing a jagged image, kind of interference.

tried both v7 and v8

Is it possible to enable vibration on incoming call/im but disable it on login?

Skype drops connection a few times a day for me and when it does, it vibrates and is a few annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] tobeman:
Very serious thread there mate, thanks and all,

but I had a look at that source code but I really didn't figure out where I could modify refresh and keep alive intervals.

If you take a look at your network usage you will notice that skype is trying to keep a live like mad which is not really necessary...

is there anything we can do about that?
[Android Apps and Games] Goodm7sn:
oh , i never had it vibrating on login,weird.

but dunno if this can be possible , when u r logged in on both skype on PC and yr android phone , whatever comes to the PC (text chat) will get to the phone too with notifications (sound and vibrate). so , if the notifications on the phone can stop automatically while logged at same time on PC, and resume back to normal once u r off the PC, it would be just perfect :)

is that even possible ?

forgive me for my ignorance but i am a noob in developing.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] realspido:
Hi, may I please request a feature?

I love the idea of having LED light while using back camera, but it coyld be even better if there was another button on the calling screen allowing to switch it on or off whenever required. Is it doable?
[Android Apps and Games] Iluminatus23:
V8 works great! Thank you very much!!!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Double tap the small video-window and they will swap.

Maybe, will check it out.

That source code I give out is my mod's source code, not skype's source code :p

But what exactly are you referring to? I mean, what's the exact problem?

I don't think so.

That's how I was going to do it, but I was a bit bored :D

It is possible, but can anyone confirm it's working now, so I can move it?
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
For me the flash works, it turns on as soon as the video call connection is established, and turns off as soon as the call is ended. An in-call option to switch it on/off is indeed a lot better, but hey, I won't ask for anything as you've already given us so much.

Just one worry, not sure which brightness level it is. The higher brightness levels are said to be able to damage the led after longer periods of use, while the lower brightness levels are deemed safe for use over a longer time. Don't really feel comfy using it for a long time while it might be the highest brightness level and my led will overheat and die :P
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Oh, there are brightness levels for the LED flash?

Sounds cool.. :p

edit: If someone has a phone with a LED flash and can configure its brightness level, I'd like to check his camera.apk :D
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
My camera app (the default one included in CM7) doesn't allow changing the flash brightness. But 3rd party "torch" apps do, and they indeed allow the flash to go from bright to super bright :)
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Come on barty!

You should know by now, name the apps :D
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
The app i use right now if i want a torch is, as mentioned, the default one in CM7. It allows for a normal brightness, and a "high brightness" mode. Before turning on the high brightness it gives a warning about the possible effects though :p

I don't really need different brightness levels for skype, it's just that IF i use it sometime, i wanna be sure it's not on high brightness mode during a 1 hour videocall :)

Anyway, attached the torch app I use. Not sure if there are better apps that allow for more brightness levels :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You're right, that's too much (bored again :D).

I'll just move the toggle into in-call menu!
[Android Apps and Games] nazbel:
Lol ! You're The best theos0o! you made it...and it works like a charm on my desire! could u please move it!? Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Goodm7sn:
Is it only me or the notification bar icon randomly goes to "s" icon and doesn't reflect your skype status (online,invisible,away)?

keep alive and network connection

First up thanks for the great work.

I would like to ask for a little improvement if thats ok. I had a look at the skype source code you published but since I am not a dev I feel pretty lost in there.

What I would like to suggest is to stretch Skype's keep alive intervals in order to allow the network connection to go ideal in between which would reduce skype's battery consumption.

I just got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 today, I loaded this version of Skype. I tried calling an iPhone and couldn't get video working. I then turned on the 'force video enabling' option in Advanced Settings, it restarted, now I can't sign in. The program just force closes. I can't get back to the Advanced Settings.

Should video be able to work on the galaxy tab 10.1? I've not used skype before, so I'm not sure if I had to enable video calling or if it was setup like that by default. I was going to uninstall and re-install, but wanted to see if you needed any logs or anything before I did, in case it's just not a user issue.
