Google Hangout issue - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

Anyone here use Google Hangouts? My wifes Inc 4G is unusable in that the audio is about 5 seconds delayed, barely audible, and sounds like a robot voice, much like the Droid voice actually. I can hear her fine on my Rezound, and the video is just fine on her phone, it's just the audio that is all borked up. Has anyone experienced similar issues with their Dinc? Or would someone maybe be willing to test theirs real quick to see if they have the same issue? This is happening on both 4G and wifi for what it's worth, and happens when I start/join a hangout from both my phone and my laptop, so the issue is not dependent on the device I'm using, just the Inc itself.

I realize that this is a late response but I just came into possession of a Incredible 4G and am having identical issues with the audio during a hangout. Considering my connection is over 20 mbps down and 15mbps up on 4G, I know it's not a bandwidth issue.
Were you ever able to find a solution to this?

Tango update in market

Update is now in the market fyi.
have you tested this? does it work?
The Tango update fixes the crashing issues. You can video chat now!
It works. If you read the changed in this version it added support for atrix zoom and streak.

that means somehow the developer was able to manage the atrix's quirks regarding voip and microphone use, so other apps like skype might do it too. I wonder who will cave first, skype or motorola?

Ohh yeah, it works very good. first app i m able to use both on iphone and android (atrix) without any problems
Have been waiting for this thanks for the info.
anyone have audio issues? I can hear the other person, but he can't hear me...
I tested it out with an iPhone 4 after the update and it does work.
i was unable to call out to an Evo but was able to recieve the Evo's call.. i was never able to see their picture or them see mine.. then it was disconnected due to poor reception but we both had full bars and was 1ft away
Thanks 4 alerting us that Tango us ready for the Atrix, I been wanting this since Feb. 22.
I've been able to chat with the wife on her iPhone using wifi and or 3g and whatever we get on the Atrix lol

Friend with iphone 4 called me and I was able to talk to him over 3G, though there was an occasional pause due to the slow network. After about 10 minutes it froze up and lost its connection, but was still better than nothing. I'll be using this feature quite often to speak to my best friend who lives 1,500 miles away,
I just tried to use Tango but when I try to call someone it says "initializing" then "calling" but it never calls or anything...
A-A-A-Atrix!
Tango works fine for me. Used it today with an iPhone user, both of us were on WiFi.
Just tried tango with my friend on her iPhone4. The video quality was OK but the voice was horrendous. We both had to mute our speakers as we couldn't even make out a word the other person was saying. There was so much static and distortion that we sounded like aliens submerged underwater. I have the Bell Atrix. Is anyone else experiencing this?
i used it to speak to people. it worked. However it doesnt actually make a RINGING sound. it just stays silent. Not perfect. Also Tango shows you asll contacts in your contacts that have Tango (dont know how they did this). you cant yet have a favorites list, like skype.
Has anyone else had the issue with the mic not working? I am able to view my friend's video feed and hear them and they can see me, but not hear me whatsoever. Any ideas? Is the mic just not activating when the app launches?
Also I can only receive calls but not make them? Any ideas?
Thanks..

Yes I confirm this also, I have been able to talk to my wife on iPhone 4 also using Tango from about a week now. It works flawlessly.
Tangooooooo
When will be this avalibale to HD7 ??

[Q] Camcorder recording very muffled sound

I have noticed that when I record video with the Thunderbolt that the picture quality is out of this world but the sound quality is terrible at best. I can barely hear my TV playing just 6 or 7 feet away from me. Anyone else have this problem?
I am running Infected ROM but have had this problem since it came out of the box.
Also, I was wondering, if I called VErizon support on this, could they tell that I had my phone rooted just by being on the phone with them?
This issue has been discussed on xda as well as a few other forums (htcs own community as well). I havent found an explanation or anything that fixes it unfortunately. I'm kinda upset about this since I'm constantly taking videos on my phone.

They don't know you're rooted. I exchanged my Moto droid 4 times, it was rooted each time. I often called them and they would just send me another. The buttons kept going bad on my phones. Bad luck I guess.
It uses the mic at the bottom of the phone (same one for phone calls) so make sure you're not covering that up. And it seems that unless whatever you're recording is close, you'll have issues. There was a post somewhere from someone who contacted HTC and was told it was due to the noise cancelling software
Well at least if its software related maybe it can be fixed in the first update. It's a shame to have such great video quality with such horrendous sound.

Anyone Have a Truly Correctly Function Photon for Calls?

Do you actually use it as a phone or just as a multi media device?
I had two out of two with big problems and had to go back to my ancient BB and a friend in NH is now on his third and that one has now exhibited the issues on day 2.
I have hearing issues and even with hearing aids my hearing sucks.....so I would love to find that there is a Photon somewhere that works right because I found the earpiece and rear speaker to be wonderful for my hearing issues.
Seriously...has anyone not had the phone freeze up and shut off, lock up when attempting to answer a call, have calls not come through and simply go to voice mail and not had the silent call issues???
I really need it to be able to be used for voice communications for my personal and professional buisnesses.
Maybe I just need to get one some place other than Best Buy?
Yes, I have never had a problem with calls. I have never had freeze ups when answering a call. I didn't have it very long before putting mr3 on it. But the only freeze ups I've had, were when I was plugged in with Wifi on, and tried to turn on usb mode.
Loving this Mopho!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I use my phone for multiple operations and phone calls have never glitched out on me either. Everything seems to be working properly and I use it all day every day.
Also there is supposed to be an ota update very soon addressing these problems.
Loving this Mopho!
I use ghe MoPho for phone calls as well as Internet browsing. I have not had any problems with phone calls, although I have had some problems connecting to 4G sometimes.
So, yes, as a phone it works perfectly for me.

I also use my phone for everything and haven't had any issue! for me this phone is by far the best i have used both speed and battery life! there are tickets open with sprint and the Motorola and there addressing the issue. so your not alone!
I have to reboot my phone every morning in order to not have the silent call issue. I just flashed the mr3, hopefully it fixes it.
i had a lot of issues with the "silent" calls at first but they seem less frequent now. I look forward to a full fix
Morning kcsheets. Nice to see you here, anyways, I too also use my device for calls (I have an army of kids and a wife that call me often), Sprint is aware of the issue, and no telling when, but it is software related that would need a patch.
Just waiting for that now.
I use my device for everything as I have a demanding job as a technician, but I currently haven't had this issue at all.
I've also never had any problems with the phone freezing or whatever on calls. So far the only time it has froze up on me was yesterday, the phone crashed and rebooted.
I have never had any issues like these. Works perfect for me. Best phone that actually has awesome call quality and awesome speaker quality of any Sprint smartphone. I hate to hear some people are having issues like the OP stated. Sort of hard to believe actually because I've had 0 issues since I've had mine.
I've had one reboot, that's it. No other issues with 2 different Photons. I returned my first one (power button was offset and jiggly, I'm rather picky)...the 2nd Photon is solid in every way. Got both from Sprint.

I haven't had any silent call issues, phone freezes, or random shut offs. My MoPho works great and this is the best phone I've had so far!!
No phone problems here.....actually no problems thus far
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I'm coming from a Blackberry curve (an old one) and the MoPho phone itself is waaaaay better as a phone. The speaker is much clearer and people on the other end say they hear me better.
However, I switched to Sprint from Verizon and the reception is not as good so there's that. Not the phone's fault though.
No problems with calls - yet, but I've had the phone for less than a week and not made many calls. I have had to reboot after installing some apps but I guess that's to be expected.

Mine came from a Sprint store and yes, I've had all but the phone shut off happen to me. I've gotten into the habit of powering completely down once a day to clear out the bugs.
Overall, the phone is exceptional so this quirk/glitch isn't compelling for me to return the phone and hopefully a fix is eminent.
I have had calls that when answered I could not hear the person on the other line, nor could I make calls and hear anything even when it showed a connection. I had to reboot to clear this issue.
So I went into my local Sprint store today and I asked if Sprint was aware of certain issues with the Photon. I know most of the techs there and they checked their internal report list. From what I read on their computer there are known issues that are currently being resolved by Motorola and Sprint. They expect to have an update to correct several issues, the major issue being the silent phone call bug. I asked when the update would be released and they said it was within the month.
At least they are working on issues!

[Q] Conference Call Audio Woes

I have searched the forums in hopes that I would find a similar issue to no avail. It seems that whenever I receive a conference call I am having issues hearing the one of the callers.
For instance, my boss will call me and then we will connect to a third person. I will be able to hear my boss just fine, but the third person's audio will go in and out. When the 3rd person starts talking, I will hear them ok but then their voice will start to trail off.
Does anyone have similar issues or do I just have a lemon?
It's a hardware problem

My wife has this, and found several threads on AndroidForums on this. Basically, it's a design issue with the HTC One, regardless of carrier. I'm working to get hers replaced now.

Yeah, it's really unfortunate because the phone is rock solid otherwise. But I am way past the return policy and I just deal with it since the phone works well in every other department.
Was having mic issues sort of similar to yours but I've seen others report that. Had mine replaced and I had to yell into the.mic. sold my HTC one to pay it off and got the nexus 5. No mic issues. Haven't tried conference but well see.

GS4 Car Bluetooth Problems

I have done some googling and found that the GS4 has been a tricky beast to get fully working with bluetooth car systems. Was wondering if anyone else is having problems with theirs? And if there are any generic workarounds? I know car systems aren't the best either.
I drive a 2014 Corolla S and both the phone and car support the same protocols though when it doesn't work fully. It seems like it takes an absurd amount of time to sync up. It will sync with the car when I get in but won't let me send any voice commands. All I get is a message saying voice control is initializing. I have tried other phones... GN2 and Droid DNA and they sync up ready to go instantly.
Other places on the internet say the GS4 has issues with backwards compatibility. Can anyone weigh in on that?
I am rooted on ME7, I wonder if there have been updates to the bluetooth. I have checked change logs but may have overlooked something. I really do not want to update.

I can't say much about car bluetooth, but my s4 (mj7) is awful on bluetooth. It's always choppy, cutting in and out.
Just my two cents!!!
Verizon Galaxy S4
Safestrap 3.7
HYPERDRIVE 11
Yea that's why I would be afraid to update. It does work fine with my turtle beach headset and I tried my dad's earpiece and that seemed fine. But none of those devices sync contacts and sms messages and call log etc..
Same issues with my Sony xav-601bt. I have to sync it manually every time for Pandora Bluetooth. This never happened on my s3.. Oh well s5 around the corner soon anyways
