what version of android are you on? there was an issue with skype audio/mic on earlier Froyo builds.

Same here. It's as though the Atrix isn't put in "speakerphone" mode. When I make an audio call and hold the phone to my ear and speak directly into the mic, my voice comes through clear. When I make a video call and hold the phone away from my face, my voice can't be hears at all.
FWIW I'm running the CM7 beta.

I got this when it just came out, but throughout today, skype keeps on getting killed or the service anyway, and it gets glitchy.
why won't it stay logged in? Anyone experiencing this? I have like 400MB RAM left all the time, why would it need to be killed?

Do you have an app that Auto- Kills apps running for a long time? If so add Skype to the exception list. these things can happen with like Skype, Facebook apps and such because they always run in the background in order for you to get notifications if someone is one or messages you or something.
Absolutely no problems for me.
I was so surprised when I saw the video call option when I updated yesterday... I thought I'd never see this day... lol

I'm using it as my dd. Everything seems OK minus no gps or mms.. But I do have issues sometimes where bluetooth doesn't automatically find my stereo in car it takes a few min to find it.
It's really fast.. Just read the thread there are fixes even tho temporary to the missing calls and text issue and themes.

Would use it except that I can't receive calls when phone sleeps. It is otherwise seriously sweet. Will go back for sure once this is fixed. Great work by andmer.

I have been using it for my DD for a couple days, the OP has all the bugs listed but mine for some reason recieves calls while in sleep and SMS too!... but I also still suffer from all the other listed bugs. I also noted that my vvm wont work..just gets stuck trying to register my device and then says that I have no data connection! Oh well I'm not worried about it, when the devs get it finalized I'm sure it will be fine..they are awesome! Also im using nemsis' kernel and its the first time my phone will run over 1.2ghz...its stable at 1.4ghz! and if it matters...2260 quadrants!

MIUI is using CM7(and has the same problems) and MIUIwiz is still on a tw rom so that is a huge difference. Other than that I don't know why your data would do that I haven't used MIUI but I'm on CM7 and it works for me (on verizon)

In the CM7 thread some one listed an app SoftLocker which makes it so your phone doesn't go into deep sleep, more battery drain but calls are nice to get. It's working for me with CM7.
I have soft locker on my phone and not noticing a bad battery drain. Maybe I am lucky or blind lol

After the OTA update, my photon has generally been performing very well. I had the silent call/no audio issue before, but they seem to have gone away completely since the update. I only experience the "random" reboot issue when I am using music/audio applications such as Pandora and Google music.
Also, if I am listening to music using Pandora and I turn the phone from portrait to landscape (and vice versa), the audio pauses/stutters with each rotation. If I do this enough, I can usually get the phone to lock up and reboot eventually.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
I was having hanging issues with Pandora have you got the update That came out today it has been fine since I downloaded that

Are you talking about the MR5 update that came out earlier in the week? I have downloaded that and am still experiencing the issue
No there was a Pandora update that came out yesterday from the market also make sure your phone is set to automatic for the network settings and on high performance for battery settings or it can do weird stuff
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I notice the phone stutters in pretty much everything I do outside of the music app. If I start messing with settings while it's playing it stutters over and over. I also notice that the music player and music widget don't play well with each other. I can be playing music in the app and on my homescreen the widget doesn't even show what I am playing and just sits blank. I am really starting to see some bugs with the software on this phone.

Thanks. The update seems to have fixed the stuttering issue for me. I'll see if I get any more lockups/freezes over the next few days
I spoke too soon. After about 10 minutes on pandora, the stuttering came back. I wonder if this is an android issue or a photon specific problem

Yea I see this stuttering too.. used to happen on my Evo OG when I was using bluetooth stereo headphones and came into a building where my wifi knew the password. After the first update on that phone it was fixed.
I notice if I disable wifi it fixes the stuttering issue on the photon as well... but on the photon it happens whenever my wifi finds something in range, even if the phone doesn't have a connection to the wifi. After a while it seems to stop, like the hardware requests more resources and settles it.. but it is still quite annoying.
You can also get root explorer and change it in the build.prop

Definitely considering trading my Photon in for the Epic 4G Touch when it comes out on the 19th. Not only do I get the reboots while streaming but I also get the stuttering as you have mentioned...doesn't matter what the signal level is. Sometimes Last FM and Pandora will not play at all on this phone.

Hi, I just got a Photon "not Root" also I have the EVO 4G "Root", I want to use the Gtalk video chat but:
On the Photon I can't enable voice or video, On the EVO the video is sideways (known problem).
I installed on them Qik and:
On Photon the video is sideways. Is any setting i don know about it?
Before I Root Photon had any one Gtalk working fine?
try vtok
works well for google video calls
also tango seems to not have the sideways issue

When the Photon gets home I'll give it a try.
---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------
I hope we'll get straight on Gtalk,
Fring works well if you're interested in other options.
I have the same problem. I use GTalk w/video to see my daughter who lives 2,000 miles away, and was dissapointed to find that the Photon didn't have video capabilities. Vtok does work, but uses a lot of resources, and freezes up completely after 20-30 minutes. After it freezes, a hard boot is necessary. I've used it on every device I own/have owned (EVO 4G, EVO 3D, FLYER, SGT1) and the problem persists throughout. ROOT w/mods seems to be the only way GTalk w/video will work.
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

i use to use fring, but now ive gone over to tango. runs very well between iphones, ipads, tabs and such. it took them about 3 weeks after the launch of the photon to push a release to read the photons hardware correctly. send an email to the software support with your issue and they should launch a release that will make compatible with the photon.

Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Honestly, I think this is all VERY pathetic. Google needs to get its head out of its ass and fix google talk video for all of its latest android devices.
Clearly, the Photon has a front facing camera, but doesn't come with any software to use it out of the box. You have to go to the market and keep trying 3rd party software in the HOPE that it will work.
Personally, I think they should have fixed google talk video with the first update they rolled out.
I also have an iPad and it's a joke how easy Facetime works!
Wake up Google!
I don't know the way to go, I been testing almost every app for video chat and none one works as they should. :-(. Qik is a known sideways video problem. Vtok sound? Oh Good socks, and Gtalk we all know.

I installed build 198 and I have no outbound audio with Gtalk voice or video chat. Re-flashed twice--same result. Could be something else on my phone, but I don't want to hard-reset to find out until I learn more.
Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.
I hope you weren't sexting.
Ok im sure everyone has heard about the phone calls being recorded I was just wondering if there is software to check to see if someone is doing it to you cuz my phone been doing some off the wall stuff echo when people call me or the hear me all distorted when i exit all my apps my phone runs hot tried taking out the battery and everything else just need help
The echo on phone calls is sprint's network. Some towers are strong enough not to have that, others do. If I'm not mistaken.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yea but its like every call it wasn't like the with my evo 4 g thats why I'm nervous cuz its only with my 3d
I've experienced that echo with this phone, 2 others on sprint, and while I had t-mobile. Nothing to worry about. It's a reception issue or codec issue for voice or both. I wish I could help you eliminate it. It's occurred less often for me since sprint has been upgrading their towers here.
