Ok so I love face timing on my iPod and iPad with friends and family and recently I decided to give it a go on my Note with Skype on my iPod and the results sucked.
First of all I see the image from my iPod's camera in my note but not my note's camera on my iPod which is super weird
Next is the front facing camera sucks, the resolution is so low, I know its a 2 Mega pixel cam but I'm sure its not suppose to look like a no pixel cam. The image is very grayed out its visibale to see but very grayed out. Is it just my phone or is it like that for every one or is there like a setting
Is there an alternative apply or something?

Open the camera app and switch it around so it's using the front camera. How does it look? If it looks good, then you probably have a software problem, or skype problem.
I haven't tried Skype on the Note yet, but I recall it downsamples quite a bit on Android!
Using windows Skype scales the quality in order to keep up with the network's speed.
Maybe it tries the same on Android. Were you on wifi?
How's Google Talk?
Yea I was on wifi and no I didn't try google talk but anyways its not about skype its about the camera quality like when I try for self portrait with friends and stuff it with sucks, can it be adjusted in the settings because I don't think its low lighting

If you mean the image is less saturated, you are right.
I find this more than acceptable for a frontfacing camera.
Did you take all the plastic film off?
I quickly snapped a pic, so you can compare.
Cheers,
Daan
edit: XDA Scales it down a bit! But for color comparison it should do okay.
Yea its kinda like in the picture you showed, its a 2megapixel cam should it suck that much???

Two megapixel is just not that good. Even with a good lense it won't be very high quality. There is just too little information stored.
The frontfacing camera in phones are always lower quality.
Two megapixel is really a lot for a frontfacing cam.
I wouldn't say it "sucks". It performs better than any other frontfacing cam I ever owned.
Touch Diamond, Hero, SGS, Incredible S.
If you want more saturation maybe you can use a different camera app.
Camera 360 for example, maybe that has more settings.
Still, don't expect high quality pics from any frontfacing cam on a phone on the market right now.
i think it looks awesome. i have done video chat on skype on H+ signal and the video quality is great. output from my end is always great both on video calls to the uk and usa. But video input from the uk was good although usa video was poor but that was their internet speeds that was causing trouble.
i have tried it multiple times as my child likes to do the video chat and finds it fun, so we just log into skype on laptop with my wifes account (connected via wifi) and on the phone (connected via H+) with my account and my child enjoys video chat.
I frankly doubt that video could get better on any current phone or probably even laptop for skype video calls.
for reference over 3g connection (i sometimes get 3g but most times get better H or H+ connection) with uploads speeds ranging from 2600kbps to 3500kbps and download speeds ranging between 3600kbps to 6000kbps and my wifi speeds (for laptop via landline) for downloads are about half that and upload speeds are about 3-4 times slower! having an unlimited data connection helps as i dont keep count of the data used now.
photos and videos shot even in a slightly dark room are good too from the front facing camera.
do you have a screensaver film applied over the front facing camera that is spoiling the image???? common mistake on new laptops where people complain about webcam quality but would have forgot to take protective film from the lense off after removing it from the packaging.

No I don't have any film on my cam, I rather video chat over my phone than my laptop as 1 the laptop screen is too big making the picture from the other end really blur and its also heavy to carry around the house. Its much more convinient to do video calls over my note as the screen is bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet sorta making it the almost perfect size for video chat, I'm wondering is there any alternative to skype where an ipad and my galaxy note can video chat

My HTC One camera is horrible but I think I have nailed down the problem.
The left side is always perfectly sharp. From center to the right side it is out of focus mush.
I am guessing that it's a misaligned sensor.
I am a widely published photographer and I certainly didn't buy this to use as a camera for anything other than record pictures for my normal job but I do know what I am doing.
I ill take it in and test it against a store phone and have them swap it out if the store one is better.
If I had the sharpness across the frame that I have on the left side I would be thrilled with it.
Anyone else seeing the right side of frame quality issue?
I am having no issues with my camera, I love it, the ZOE option is very versatile. No sharpness issues at all, in fact the auto focus works much better then my lte

I am not seeing this issue. This definitely sounds like a hardware problem. I think HTC has been plagued by quality issues, unfortunately.
Phone Replaced ~ Camera Perfect Now
Had the phone replaced yesterday and the new one has a perfectly working camera
I am having the same issue! Maybe i will have to replace it but its been around 20 days since i have the phone...I hope they will...
My very first one did this exact thing. I had it replaced and the new one has been fine.

Did it do it for you al the time and under any conditions?
Well with mine it was every single picture, and tapping to try to get it to focus somewhere on the blurry side didn't make a difference.

Title says it all. I bought this phone 3 weeks ago used. I have swapped the frame and back and replaced the battery and the screen was already flawless. I updated to stock 7.1.1 and every photo I receive from anyone looks like crap. Anyone have any idea why this would be?

So you're saying that if someone else takes a picture or saves a picture and sends it to you, it looks fine on their phone but not on your phone?
Or are you saying that pictures you take or download and send to others look terrible on their phones?
The pictures I receive from other people sending to me. I figured out it's only phones that have lower megapixel cameras than this phone

If it's through text messages then it might be your carrier that's compressing the MMS based on on your data plan. My pictures tend to come out pixelated through SMS when my data plan almost fills up.
I have a note 9 on Verizon and have noticed that the video quality from my phone to any iPhone Stinks... Pixated and Def not HD...
Any way around this other than using a different chat client?

Is this the same whether you're on WI-FI,or a data connection?
Perhaps the resolution depends on which VZW Data plan you're on &/or,if your high-speed cap has been reached for the billing period?
IDK if the different resolutions on the various data plans apply to video chat clients,just tossin' around the possibilities..........

Yes, no matter if on wifi or cellular. Video viewed on my note 9 is amazing.. Thinking it had to do with some kind of bs compression that vzw applies... Photos on the other hand are crystal clear.
Just really frustrating to have a 1200.00 phone that I can't share HD video with anyone else.
I've even lowered the quality below HD and it still pixelates and looks like garbage

Not knowing which app you're using,but,it sounds app-related,perhaps it has to do with a size limitation on the chat client & video quality is affected.
Just taking guesses here,hoping someone will chime in with a solid explanation.
I'm assuming you are sending them an MMS - if so, they will always look crappy!
If you had an iPhone before as well, you would have been using iMessage. That system will allow much higher quality images than an MMS will, but obviously it's limited to iOS.
For Android, you'd have to use something like WhatsApp or similar (and have your friends use it too)

has nothing to do with the phone. just share videos via links. you could be on a google,one plus...etc and it would all be the same.
id be tempted to tell you to sell your phone for thinking its a device issue since it makes as much sense than thinking it was a phone problem....lol
just use samsung link sharing when you open the video, then press the share icon.
but you should definitely return the phone :cyclops:

Are you talking about SMS? If so, it pretty much compresses your video to a 10 mb file. As you can imagine, that would give you about 1 second of HD video. Any more than that, compression kicks in. The longer the video, the heavier the compression/loss of resolution. SMS is a technology from 20 years ago, it was never meant for this. They pushed it to being able to send decent quality photos, and that's about as good as you're going to get. Apple's iMessage does not use sms for iphone to iphone texting, so it may avoid the compression issue, I'm not sure. And carriers are doing away with SMS, and moving to RCS, which may help this as well.
Point is, if you are sending video over SMS, don't. The issue you are talking about has nothing to do with your phone or any phone. It has to do with limitations of SMS.

I completely understand it's a network compression issue with vzw, and not a device issue.
I love my phone but I need to have a native way to send hd videos... So either way, selling it might be the solution.
The problem that I have is that I would have to convince my bosses to use the new app, as I use my phone to document structural issues and send them to their respective management reps.
This will be nothing short of a miracle.
Why would vzw sell a Ferrari of a device, but only let it in the granny lane capabilities wise

SMS is SMS, has nothing to do with Verizon. It's not a network compression issue, its the limitation of the SMS protocol itself. You get high speed LTE with verizon, right? Verizon does not limit you from using your LTE connection for Whatsapp for example. You choose to use SMS, therefore you have to play by the rules of SMS. Again, this has nothing to do with the carrier. To further expand your analogy, that's like you buying a Ferrari and never taking it outside the confines of New York City. Your car can hit 200 mph, but you're crawling along at 10 mph. If your job requires you to send HD video to iphones and you know that iphone to iphone there is no issue, and you can't use any other app besides text apps, you probably have no choice but to get an iphone. Perhaps this will resolve when Verizon finally activates RCS messaging instead of SMS, as Tmobile is starting to do, but knowing Verizon, you'll be waiting a while. And I don't know that RCS will solve your problem, you'll have to look into it's limitations and when Verizon will actually enable it.

samsung link sharing to the rescue. yeah its 2 steps more than just adding a file to a text but it sure gets the job done quickly. guess g drive or onedrive can basically do the same thing.

Samsung Galaxy note 9 for best full screen video watching experience
Everyone i have found that the note 9 video watching experience in full screen mode is crappy and i have also found an solution for that
Step 1 is to turn on color adjustment and select personalized color option and complete the table.
This will make the washed away red colors in your full screen mode the way you see the color in any other mode
Step 2 is enable the developer options an turn on disable hardware overlay,
This will make the low light quality of the full screen mode 10 times better when watching video
Also applies for the gallery
Thats all hope this was useful for those of you whom watch video on full screen mode and have bad video quality and colors on Samsung phones,.
Thank you, the solution is great, I think it will work great.
It can be an Apple problem as most videos from diferent androids look crap on my iphone , even though the video is sharp on my macbook pro , could be anoyher ios 13 bug as there are alot still not fixed, iphone owners these days seem to be only beta testers for apple , something you dont expect with a 1500 phone ( yes i have both iphone 11 pro and note 9 and 10+ also an old nexus 6 )

RCS is a poor excuse for a joke on Android users. It is not viable and will never be. Forget it and use some other platform for what you want like WhatsApp or Signal. One day you have RCS (whatever they claim it to be) and then you wake up and it's gone for good. That's why Apple is where it is, it works for everyone no hacks needed.
RCS has been fine for me after a few hiccups. If it says connecting you could try switching to airplane mode and turning it off and that does the trick sometimes. If it doesn't work then you'd need to turn airplane mode on and force stop carrier services and clear data/cache. Then force stop messenger and clear data and cache and turn airplane mode off and launch messenger again and that will do it. RCS on the Pixel 4/4XL is actually being handled by Google vs our carriers this time around. So hopefully Google gets their act together and gets RCS to work for everyone without issues.
Who in their right mind would do that? If it doesn't work bag it Google.
for some reason I had to reflash the factory image for February, this is a warranty replacement and out of the box it just was buggy but everything is perfect now

People that aren't aboard the RCS hate train and don't want to use WhatsApp or other third party chat apps. I get it, you don't like RCS and I don't blame you. It's still in its infancy and will take some time to get up and running universally. It takes me a whole 20-30 seconds to do what I described in my post. I haven't had to do it for months now and RCS has been rock solid for me. Hopefully overtime it will be ironed out even further and it'll work how it's supposed to right out of the box without any tinkering.
It's no so much the hate train as it is the lame train. If it doesn't work for everyone it doesn't work. Figure it out and then roll it out. How hard would that be to do? Yes, it's a novel concept but they should give it a try.
The point about doing the hack is that 99% of users would never do that. And the carriers could not care less and are working on their own implementation. So basically it's going nowhere. No hate just reality.
The carriers and so many Android devices, it's a pain yes... apple has one company, a web of the same devices, so iMessage is so universql and easily implemented. if every device shipped with Android messages by default that would fix a big part of it I think... but Android is open source and and every manufacturer wants to add their own touch
No problems here. "Chat message" shows up in the few people I know that have it working. I do know it sometimes doesn't work on WiFi depending on the network. The hospital I work at, for example, drops out to regular text.

Give it a try. I'm reluctant to erase my Fi eSim simply because their tech support is atrocious and if something happens I'm on my own. But the Verizon sim is easy to pop out and in. I believe it will work but that's really not a good answer or great scenario.

Can you check the size of the photos you've sent and received recently? I noticed some degradation and sure enough when I checked the file size it's compressed even though RCS is connected, enabled and my chat bubbles are dark blue. At first I noticed it from a Verizon carrier but now I'm noticing it to other carriers to.

So just tested both video (45 and 20 seconds of 4K) and picture sending over RCS. Looks like the resolution decrease big time to only 852x480. I could've sworn they were larger. Quality during playback was fine though. Pictures came out 1600x1200 and looked fine as well. We're both on Sprint.
