Issues with video call - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Skype with videocall

a friend of mine has a milestone and wants to use skype with videocall! I've read that videocall with skype is only available for some phones!
what do you use for videocalling over the internet or is there a way for making skype do that? perhaps make skype think you have an iphone, just joking!
thanks!
The Milestone does not have a front-facing camera so videochatting is not possible. But I've heard that it uses the regular camera as well, but then you have the screen of your Milestone on the table so it kind of defeats the purpose.
Even being able to receive video would be a good first start.
ok! thanks guys!
I just took a quick look at his milestone and I thot I saw a front facing camera, but I might have seen some sensor...

If you have CWM instaled your front side cam will not work. It's known issue and it's connected with CWM not with talk version.

My frontside cam worked fine till I instaled CWM. Now it doesn't at all (in Skype and in Talk also). It's known problem, I'm not the only one.

I don't think I was on CWM. I tried a version on which front cam worked but it was upside down. I never got it to work properly. In every variant, some or the other problem persisted.

[Q] Skype on the Razr I

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to install Skype on this device? It seems to only work on ARM based devices, so just wondering if it works on the Razr I. I love the look of this phone, however, skype is a must for me.
Can anyone let me know if it is compatible?
Thanks
Works like a charm

Is videocall working?
Video call is working on both front and back cameras
It certainly works but I not sure you can say it works like a charm, as Skype for ANY Android device can be hit and miss.. especially when it has spells that don't let you log in at all (including the incorrect password errors that aren't incorrect).
I use Skype for work and really can't rely on using it solely on my phone, especially thanks to the drain on the battery, which is a shame.
Works sooo good, i call every day to my girlfriend and no bugs at all!!

Never had these problems across three android devices over the last couple of years. I feel lucky.
Wow, you are! I've got Skype installed on a large number of devices (and tablets - and to be fair, they've done a good job of making a decent tablet mode now) and have had plenty of problems.
Connecting via mobile data has often caused many problems, from failing to connect to being connected but not receiving any IMs (or being able to refresh and load older ones).
One thing Skype has improved massively on though is the need for RAM (or taking it all up), which used to cause me no end of hassle on devices without 1GB of RAM - forcing even the homescreen to be closed and restarted. This occasionally happens on the Razr i, but very, very rarely.
there's ia a problem with my videocalls
I have a problem with my skype and other videocalls with JB, my front cam makes a zoom on me but my regular front cam to take pictures is ok. i have tried other jb firmwares and the problem continues. skype and tango work dine on ICS.
My carrier seems to hate Skype, because the calls are a no-go when on 3G, even I tried in other major cities, but as soon as I connect to any decent wifi I have no problems, the quality of the call and voices are nice.
same problem

[Q] WhatsApp Audio MIC Recording garbled?

Hi All,
I have been having this problem with any firmware based on stock .290 and .136. Be it Whatsapp or Line or Viber. Anything that sends an Audio message comes out garbled, which is extremely annoying.
The weird thing is.. this becomes PERFECTLY fine when I open the the SIM card port.. I seriously fail to see the connection to MIC performance here.. with the port being open! so it's just weird!!
I have downgraded to .257 for now due to this bug.
Can anyone on .290 or .136 try whatsapp audio messages and see if the problem exists for them too?
Thanks all!

You have 2 microphone on Z1, when you record the voice message, speak to the one on top behind Led Notification/Phone Call Speaker.
BTW, Whazzapp always had this problems.
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve the problem neither..
It's really weird because it affects normal phone conversations as well but not as much.. I can use what's and click on the paperclip icon and actually RECORD a voice clip and it will come out fine... just when I use the audio button, it comes out garbled!
So damn weird!
Probably cheap codecs and the option in Whazzapp was always like that and many reported to have problems. Maybe with the next update Whazapp will fix that but now how do that I don't know. Just use different app to record voice messages and send them via whazz.
Download the new beta of WhatsApp here before it hits the Playstore.
It seemed to have solve the problem for me

As stated in this topic. The only alternative is to click the thumbnail icon in a chat, select audio and choose what's app recorder.
That will allow u to send a voice note the old fashioned what's app way without the garble. Even still I've experienced app and phone freezes when trying to listen to voice notes via what's app. So hopefully the next update fixes it.

Thanks all for the replies...
glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this problem.
I will surely report back when I have more details/fixes
Just updated to MonX .136 and installed the beta whatsapp version suggested by slimldj..
whatsapp still has some form of garbled messages but it's 90% fixed.. it's good enough for me to use 4.3 based rom now!
I hope others will find this information useful.

I was going to post a new topic specifying this exact problem (although my phone doesn't seem to benefit from opening the SIM flap).
This garbled recording is driving me nuts, it worked fine on .257. I'm also in a Z1 (C6906) .290 based rom (iHackers).
Is there some way this problem can be solved? Any help or input will be greatly appreciated.

Hiya Aldo!
I was having this problem actually all the way until around 3-4 days ago when Whatsapp got updated. I was using the workaround by "attaching" an audio clip instead of pressing down the button to speak.
Without changing rom (Monx .136), I just updated whatsapp to version 2.11.175 and now it is working 100% fine now.. The audio comes out clear and loud when played back...
Hope this helps, please post back of your results!

Google Hangouts Issue (Camera Zoom)

I have been experiencing issues with Hangouts lately. Anytime that I make a video call connection, the person I am talking to can see me and displays a full frame of what my camera sees. However, all I see is a zoomed in frame of their camera. There is no settings within the app to adjust the camera zoom that I am aware of. It appears that the issue lies in my phone and not theirs since I get the same result regardless of whether they are using Win10, Win8, iPhone, or other Android.
Any suggestions?
I noticed the same thing recently. Are you on computerfreaks 1.3? I am. I wonder if it's specific to that rom.
No. I am running stock. 23.11.39.quark
ok....so I uninstalled the latest Hangouts update (that made it "material design") and went back to the "factory app." Everything works fine. So apparently there is something wrong with the app itself on my phone.
I have the exact same issue on my Moto Turbo wit 5.0.2 and the new hangouts. Tried reinstalling hangouts but no dice. I hope theres an update soon....
I am also having this issue. Any other workaround that have been discovered?
