It happens on ICS on the Rezound too. Not on my Transformer though.

I was looking on Skype's reviews and it turns out that people who have upgraded to ICS have the problem. Long story short: Skype needs to upgrade.

Ok I have the same problem however, I was in Vegas this afternoon and was able to use skype while on the AT&T LTE service and my picture was great! NO GREEN!!! When I got home this evening to my slower 5 mbps speed the picture was green again. I think it has to do with ICS and the speeds that we are downloading with. Gary

I use oovoo as an alternative right now.

I noticed that Skype had an update, so I updated it hoping that it would be a fix to the problem. Unfortunately, the green is still there. Skype is not fixing our problem!!! >.<

fixes problems for Sensation/Amaze users with skype, your device uses the same gl files since ICS update.

I have used this with Darkraiders ROM and have had no ill effects over the past week or so and 2 ROM versions. I have not tested skype with it though. If anyone wants to test let me know, IM me on skype: lamebmx

I can verify that it works with Skype. I was green then flashed the update and was no longer green!

Yea, I forgot to update that it fixed green screen in skype for me too.

Thanks a lot from Kazakhstan!!!

WeatherBug Issues

I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am with weatherbug. It seems as if it no longer is updating and the specified intervals and you have to go in the app and manually refresh it. Anyone else having this issue and if you are have you found any solution to it?
Same problem, no response from developers...
Sad situation, nothing we can do but complain.
Mind started randomly doing this after the last update too.
Most of the time it works properly, but some times I will check it and it hasn't updated for a day. It's weird because the thing used to be flawless.
I was also having this issue randomly not updating I unistalled it
Were you guys trying both accuweather and google? I know google isn't as reliable as accuweather with this app.

Its not the weather, its The app that is not updating. The support contacted me and told me to check if any task killers are killing the app and if that doesn't work to reinstall. Well I don't use a task killer and reinstalation doesn't work. I've also noticed that if the phone is asleep for a long time with no network activity it doesn't update but if your using the phone it does update on its own

Could be gingy. I know that for example the Sony Ericsson LiveView cannot connect via BT to it as of now, so it would not surprise me. Have you notified the dev if their app is indeed gingerbread compatible?
I recall that when Froyo went live or ROM flashable for me, lol...Weatherbug had similar issues until they updated the apk.

Make sure you didn't move the WeatherBug app to SD Card (via Froyo method, a2ext should be fine) because that will kill the service quickly.

Could attempt it on a test build on CM7, works there from what it looks like.
Just wanted to chime in here on the subject.
Did some searching today and it lead me to the threat linked above, downloaded and flashed through rom manager. First boot took a bit longer than it usually does, thought I got stuck in a boot loop. However, I can confirm this works on the lates pre-alpha cm build!
I had to create another google account to test it out, but low and behold it actually works!
I didn't see any other posts in the thunderbolt forum acknowledging this so I thought I would let you all know.
A family member of mine has a stock tbolt and I got the latest BAMF GB Tom on mine. She texted me today and by her info in the text I had the green video camera. I hit it, it called her and I could see and hear her. She doesn't live in a 4g area nor hooked up to wifi at the moment, but for whatever reason, like I said I could see her and hear just fine. So looks like it might work from 2.2 to 2.3 with better circumstances. Hopes this helps.

I finally got gtalk video and audio working for two way calls on gingerbread
The solution has been out, but I guess I just didn't do a good job of googling. Flash this Google Package File in recovery after wiping cache and davlik.
You can also just read the thread where I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793. The same file is listed under "to install" step#2, Alternate3.
After installing this, my Gmail app was missing so I installed it from the market. I had to install the thing twice before it finally worked b/c it force closed on me with the first install.
I haven't tested the calls on wifi yet, but it was clear on 3g. Only gripe I have is that the camera view is rotated.

Good....the one thing is apparently you will appear sideways when using video chat. I noticed that I was sideways in the window, but thought it was ok on the other persons screen
It installed no problem, and I can confirm the orientation issue. Haven't had a chance to try an actual call yet, though. Hopefully I can give that a whirl tomorrow.

Maps App Crashing and Hot Rebooting Some Custom ROMs

well, as i have going around, i have been noticing that some of us guys have been having issues with the latest Two versions of Google Maps.
I have Tested it on at least 3 rooms and the problem is consistent ... so me and few other mates have come to the conclusion that the problem is with the app itself. not the rom.
if you have Experience this.
what i have done to fix it i just downgraded to a good working version of Google maps.. IE: Maps 6.9.2v or 6.9.0v these work great.
Hopefully the Devs at google are working on this!!!!
If anybody has a different idea or better imput as to how and why this is happening please feel free to share..

Great Rom, but a few glithes
Hi,
I used the 12.12.12 build for one full day and I must say that the rom is fast and smooth.
There are 2 things that bother me at the moment:
1. ringtone rings only once and will not loop. I tried most from the list. I now use a looong music as ringtone and temporarily "solve" the problem;
2. cannot sync exchange mail...just showing "Waiting for sync" screen forever. I am sure I have the right settings. Gmail is fine though.
I performed a FULL WIPE before installing the rom. Am I missing something here?
Edit: I didn't have these issues in PA.
Thanks.

I've been using PAC mostly but have tried them all. I can only test during the evenings though, I go back to my daily while my daughter is awake for the video capabilities. I've been spoiled by the HQ camera mod. Hopefully 1080p recording will get sorted out (patiently waiting) and I'll be on board full time...then maybe a few changes to the media_profiles.xml will make the camera perfect.
Thanks for all the work so far though I am impressed with everyone's efforts.

If your ringtones are mp3 files they might not loop....I've found ogg ringtones to work fine though.

ASAP? Cause the conversation you're having in that text is so important? Please don't PM me asking to look at something ASAP, especially when it's something as trivial as that.
Next time I have PAC flashed, I'll look at it, and I'll let you know. I know that I've gotten MMS in all my builds, and not once has the pic overlapped the text like that - so I would assume it's something local on your device. I won't be able to tell 100% til I have PAC flashed though. I'll flash it ASAP...
Also, in forums like this, if someone has an answer, they'll answer you. If they don't know, instead of posting a useless "I don't know" post, they don't answer. I saw this earlier, and once I had an answer I fully planned on providing it. Instead, I was forced to issue this reply.

I just flashed and tested, and saw the same as you. I tried a couple of things with no success, so I may have to look into it a little deeper. Just curious, have you tried a 3rd party messaging app like handcent or gosms? Do they behave the same way?
I just flashed back to AOKP and the same thing is happening. Maybe I hadn't received any MMS before, I could have sworn I had. I'll flash CM later and see if it's doing it too, at least that will tell me if it's something I introduced or something else that's going on.
Another thought I had - try playing with the DPI for the Messaging app, see if you can adjust it to a suitable level. It looks like a bunch of things overlap - leading me to think there might be an issue with an overlay somewhere..
Thanks but nope I've tried so much in the messaging settings I've messed with the looks colors backgrounds everything and still nothing I'll try go sms
Edit---- go SMS worked flawlessly
