Video Call Over Wifi???

Is there any aplication to make video calls over wifi on the xperia?
I hate i cant make any video calls here in USA with my phone.
Now the new iphone is advertising they can do it now. (Wifi only)
So my guess we already have it. Do we?

not sure if this is working for X1 or not.

Thanks i will check it out.

You can't use Portrait until someone makes an app to switch the camera IDs. I have a post on that somewhere.
There's a service called QIK(.com) which can do it, but the app they have made available for WinMo can only stream. The Android version on the HTC EVO does proper video calls. Maybe someone will write an app that uses the service, or maybe QIK will extend their app, or maybe a phone vendor will partner with QIK, though it all seems unlikely with WinMo 6 on it's last legs.

[Q] Call recording?

I was wondering if devs know if it is possible to implement call recording on our X8s. Is it hardware limited? I've been reading about this and it seems that almost no android phones can do this

Good question I'm exciting to the answer

Questions go to the Q&A section!

You can find many apps that can record your call conversation, just look at the market.

AllCallRecorder is one of them, and it worked like a charm when I use it . I don´t know if it still working on my current ROM, but as it is free, everybody should try it

It doesn't work. It only records my voice and not the other party's.

Try 2-Way Call Recorder,
It's free and it record both sides during the call. It working fine on gingerDX

I've just tried it. It doesn't seem to be able to record without using the speakerphone

Hey Dexter,
thought you knew that [Q] threads are for Q&A forum
Thread moved

I kind of thought it would fit better in the dev forum as this is not something that can be done through apps.

I have already let stay in development forums 2 other [DISCUSSION] threads from you because i thought that they have inside somewhat of development but i cannot leave there any kind of thread only because they speak about dev, Q&A is the right place.
My orders as a moderator are to move every thread to Q&A that doesn' implement anything but development, such ROMS, Modules; scripts.

ok, gotcha.

I get a strange way to record phone conversations with the application vRecoder. I think that the loud sound of my voice dynamics falls into the microphone. Companion heard bad at writing, but audible. Better anything than nothing.

can you upload the application ??

Hi!
I've tried several programs and does not work, only my own voice recorded.
But! The original Sony Ericsson 2.1 ROM is fully able to pad sharp 2-Way recording, even with the headset as well.
The 2.2 ROM and the rest is not working
The solution I am also very interested because this function does not only want to stay at the 2.1 ROM.
Sorry for knowledge of English, but translation

Just use market...
search call record..
and try it yourself..
U'll find which one better!

try an app called total recall

If you find an app that can record both sides please post here.
I've tried a few of them but only the one app from market, that said is made for xperia, worked. And only on stock ROM.

I am still looking for it but so far I did not find anything

i also tried many but none of them worked perfectly. all recorders failed to record. the listening speaker voice. just records my voice. in stock 2.1 i didnt had this problem.

search on apktop,i think i saw it there the other day

I believe it's a ROM issue.
or perhaps kernel.
It worked with stock ROM and stock kernel, but it didn't work with custom ROM and stock kernel.
but even with stock kernel and stock ROM only one app (among all apps I tested) managed to record both sides with no problem.
What I want to say is, if we want to have working call recording, some of our great devs should have interest to make it possible in kernel/ROM building.
But this is not something a lot people use and call recording is forbidden in some countries (as I understood), so there is not a big interest to get it fixed.
I personally would like to have that option but I don't think I would use it if I had it.

[FAQ][Buglist]P970 MIUI Port(by Frankenstain & Flatzki)

This is an auxiliary thread, created to help developers The Frankenstain and Flatzki with the porting of MIUI to Optimus Black.
Please check to see if your question has been answered here before pestering the thread in the development section. That thread is only to thank them, give support or any other specific request by the developers themselves.
This will be updated with each release of their beta.
FAQs start here:
___________________________________________
Q:Can I just ask all of these issues on their thread?
A:I, as well as everyone else, will bash you and call you names if you do.
Q:Is this ROM good for daily use? how is the stability?
A:This ROM is mostly ready for daily use, yes, some things remain to be fixed, but stability is really good, and so is overall smoothness.
Q: Does Hardware acceleration work?
A:Not fully, video can't be recorded at 720p as of version 2.0 and lower video resolutions are color shifted.
Q: Does Camera(for pictures) work?
A:Yes, fully and at all resolutions.
Q: Do Sensors(accelerometer, etc...) work?
A:Yes, fixed in 2.0.
Q: Does this MIUI build allows us to pull down the notification panel from a fullscreen app?
A:Yes, yes it does.
Q:I took a screenshot with the built in feature but I can't find it !
A:If you're using 1.0 it's in the /cache folder (use a root explorer). In 1.5 (credit to gsal for noticing this) there is an error saving to the SD card and images can only be captured when the sd card is not mounted. The location they're saved in is /data/sdcard/MIUI/
Q:My carrier is definitely not a huge string of numbers, what do I do?
A:Open up MIUI control panel app->statusbar->Carrier options and set the custom carrier to your liking(or just hide it).
Q:How do I change how the battery is displayed?
A:Settings->System->Battery->Battery indicator style.
Q:Is the MIUI Theme manager working
A:Yes, fully.
Q:Is GPS working?
A:Not for me, as well as some other users, but developers say it does, so it might be device or location specific.
Try this if it doesn't: GPS FIX
Q:Can I use Huexxx's kernel with this ROM?
A:Since v2.1 it's already included.
Q:Is this ROM in my language?
A:Yes, if it's one of these:
Deutsch
English
Español
Français
Hebrew
Italiano
Polski
Russian
Chinese
Q:What is the difference with that other MIUI rom from flatzki?
A:That was a patchrom, this is a port, which gives the devs more control over their rom. As well as this version having less of CM7 (ie: no CM7 settings)
Q: Does it use Aroma installer?
A:Yes, although no customisation is available as of v2. 1
Q:Can I switch music tracks with volume keys?
A:Yes, it is implemented since v1.5
Q:When will this rom... ?
A:Just wait patiently, the devs already know what is and what is not working and are troubleshooting those issues. Asking for ETA's is morally unacceptable (this applies to all of XDA too.)
Q:How is the battery life?
A:Using only 2g and some wifi, I got easily 20+ hours with medium use, considering drain overnight is very low.
Q: Does USB mass storage mode work?
A:Yes, It also remembers your choice for automatic mounting.
Q:Wifi is not reactivating after screen off
A:Set the sleep policy to never sleep.

About the call end bug.
Since the sensors are not working, removing the phone from ur face will not turn on the screen. So u are left to press the power button to "unlock" the screen so u can press the end button. Thats when it gets stuck.
The only bypass is to let the other person hang up first.

really thanks for this buglist i just wanna say another bug i have on my OB, when i take a video with the camera i can't read her so if you know what program can read the video please say me because with vplayer and QQplayer that's doesn't work.

First of all i envy you because i recently suffered torn cruciate ligaments and i need surgery but in greece it is impossible atm.regarding the gps it finds 5 satellites max.i think that it won't be able to maintain the signal for a long distance.i asked flatzki if it is possible to attach a setup like cm7 in zeus rom.i think that works great.overall the rom kicks @ss and the language pack works perfect except from the vibration.everything is in greek.

Sorry to hear that, I wish you the best of luck with your injury.
Yeah this rom is great, I only need the ability to switch to 2g manually and i'll be happy.Don't really care that much about GPS, would be nice to have it fully functional though.

Thank you very much.i think that the gps will be fixed sooner or later.the highlight for me is theming.awesome work.and it is even greater if you think that some ppl said that with no stable cm no miui.it seems to me that little things are missing for full stability.and is definitely suitable for daily use.

So, if I understand this right, audio always comes from the back speaker. Is your voice always transmitted?

[Q] 3g video call dialer...?

Is there a way of getting the regular S3 dialer with the 3g video call icon (bottom left) to work on KITKAT or any other ROM for that matter? the stock rom i had didnt have it and neither does ProBAMS KitKat... is it not supported on the SC-03E?
any clues? though id as before i started to flash roms just to see if there is a dialer with the 3g video call icon...
ps, i asked this as a question in another guys thread but i got no answer so i thought id make a new thread

No idea of the SC-03E features but if it is not there with a stock rom then I guess it is not supported for that model.

i just found out this is not the right phone forum for my question as i thought the I9305 has the same specs as mine but i was thinking maybe i could get the dialer.apk or the phone.apk from a S3 that supports it...i just hope its just a software problem... the I9305 does support 3g vieo calling right?

Yes i9305 does support 3g video calling.
What about in contacts. When you select a contact does a video call option show?
---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
If you do have the option for video call in contacts then you will need to edit a layout in seccontacts to show video call in dialer. Someone may already have done this in the right forum section though

No i doesnt...thats the problem, so maybe contacts, phone and dialer apk has to be flashed at the same time. problem is im not that good to start messing with a rom that way yet hehe. I asked the question in the Jap s3 thread but no replies on it ...so i might try if anyone could give me a hint on how it would be done...and the i9305 is the closest in hardware, its almost identical

You could try seccontacts and secphone apks for touchwiz or phone and contacts apks from an i9305 rom of the same android version and type, doesnt need to be copied into system/app at the same time though. Just have a back up of your originals so you can revert back if doesnt work.

wouldnt i need the dialer apk as well for the video call button?

Sec are samsungs apks so seccontacts, seclauncher etc. Aosp, cm etc usually arr just contacts, phone etc. Dialer is a part of contacts so you only need contacts and phone apks

No go... from what I read and barely understand, there are also limitations on the carrier side of things. There is Hangout (gTalk) work around but you need a US number.

I skimmed through the links you posted and as i mentioned before most phones dont support it. But the galaxy range (international) does support it. Dont you think it would be a fairly easy experiment to "steal" the apks from a S3 supporting video call and just try it on a SC-03E? im saying fairly easy for someone with ROM cooking or android dev knowlege Im willing to use my S3 as a testdummy if anyone is willing to tell me what to do and how...My carrier Globe in the Philippines does supports native 3g video calling as i tried it on my older samsung clone calling a samsung galaxy s2

Any success with 3G call button?
Hi,
Where you able to get the 3G call button? Even I am searching for some help with getting the 3G video call button that was earlier available in my SGS3. Really liked that quality compared to skype and hangout video calls (may be due to operator settings).
