Hey all.
I'm currently running IOLite on the the HyperDragon IV Lite ROM.
The minor problem is that the camera doesn't work. The camera app will start up just fine, but all I get is a black frame.
The serious problem I'm having is that I have no sound in calls. Calls will connect just fine, but I can't hear the person I'm calling, nor can they hear me. But I have service and I can send and receive text messages, so my radio is working okay.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

First it is your radio lol radios can cause sound issues as for the camera i would reccomend Nadavi's camera found here

A certificate error? The only problem I had was it wouldnt show a preview of a picture but i installed the 8/3/08(Aug. 3rd 2008) update
I had this issue (black frame with no visibility on the camera) as well. The trick is to install HTC Album prior to installing Navi's camera cab. Then Navi's camera app should work just fine.
I have Skype installed on my G1 with Biffmot 2.0.1 ROM (Froyo). I have to say is not such a great experience. It is very slow and while in a call it cuts a lot. I mean this is not from lack of bandwidth, it seems it is a resource problem. I overclocked to 633 and is the same.
There is one trick that solves the problem. While in a skype call, I press the End Call button to turn off the screen and it becomes usable. How about that?
Does anyone have it installed and if yes, how is it for you?
Thanks.
thanks for the tip about turning the screen off for better sound... it was driving me krazy :}

i have 14mB hack +2708 Cyanogen rom 6.1 test on my htc magic 32B
just saw ur thread..thanks for the tip..it seems to work on skype test call.
I tried same thing by using the handsfree..that seems to be working on skype test call as well.
i can say its not abt mobile processor speed. it has something to do with the power supply to display or speaker system which skype has to sort out.
i got nokia n900 .it has 600Mhz processor and skype is working flawless on it even doing video.. so why not devices like 528-600Mhz android can do the same. both are using Linux.unix kernels.
during call ram is around 20-24 MB on new radio .
i shall try calling friend using skype using both tips separately and then combined..let see how good it proves to be true.
if any one has more test results please post ur experience with how many minutes calls u made and over what data connected u tried(wifi or 3G).thanks
I have just done a wipe, disable voodoo lag fix, and reinstall of Darky's Rom 9.5.
Unfortunately, it did not solve my problem.
During an in coming video call the front facing camera does not operate but it will work for out going video calls.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Same thing on stock JL2 so not necessarily Darky's ROM - have only played a bit between two samsung galaxy phones but seems video from one direction at a time and not duplex and it depends on who calls who.
Change your rom .

I also video-called between the same two phones when they were stock roms and I did have duplex video calls happening. Now it is only on the out going caller.

AFAIK, Skype can't use front camera with froyo. But you can try [DEV] Skype Video for Froyo (and GB) mod that work with froyo (it said there, but I haven't tried it by myself).

No you can not use the front cam yet with Fring. Like Skype will have to wait for the 2.3 update.

I don't know yet, and I won't use it either.. because Fring doesn't have encryption.
Try to install this skype version of Droidrx http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 it works great in my OB! I can now use the front camera.
Hello,
I have JB retail brazil installed in my phone, and have a problems with Tango calls and skype calls. When i make video calls, the front cam makes an excessive zoom and the other person can only see my eyes and my nose, i have to back up a meter so then can see my face. I see no one min this forum has the same problem as me, what can i do. I tried changing to other JB firmwares but with the European version I have the same problem with video calls and even lost my 3g network. I have changed to ICS and back to JB a lot of times. Can some one help me please??
I have the same issue
Hi, I have the same issue with videocalls on Razr i. But, when I'm using the camera software with front facing camera, the video is ok, with a good distance. I`m using the stock ROM from Motorola and the problem affects Skype and Hangouts.
Still

After some months and instaling several stock JB roms, i haven't been able to solve this. Do you have a development motorola razr i, I mean the development previous version before motorola released the final. where did you buy your phone (country)? what ROM is installed?
Same problem
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem with the same apps. I have a Razr i with original JB ROM from Motorola.
I try to find something on the web but untill now I didn't find anything to help.
I have the same problem with both Skype and Google Hangouts. I need to check out some other 3rd party camera apps to see if they have the same issue - or if it's just video.
Problems also on Tango
I've tested on Tango and it presented a "big zoom" as Skype and Hangouts.
It is a problem thats comes from the "conector" used by these apps. The stock camera doesn't show the same problem, mybe because it uses "another" way to access the camera hardware.
In order to test this, I installed Vignette and it doesn't show the problem.
So, there are at least 2 way to access the front facing camera, and the way that video chating apps uses shows the problem about de the zoomed video.
Does any one know something about a patch, an app, or did other tests to localize the origin of the issue?
Same Issue
No update to this thread? I tried a few ROMs; have the same issue as described above in Skype and Hangouts, camera app is fine, no zoom.
I had this problem and it used to happen while I was in the middle of the call. I solved it by going to /system/data/data/com.skype.../files/app.properties and changing this line [device.video.preview.zoom=true] to [device.video.preview.zoom=false] and then it stopped zooming right straight to my face
