Samsung Note 3 front camera quality on video call

i love skype on my samsung galaxy note 2 the sound and video quality is good,,,,but not on note 3...i only get black and white video quality and get a lot of dropped call...skype,please fix this issue...

I don't have the white balance problem but was stuggling to get the app to do decent video calls. I just uninstalled/reinstalled it and now its able to do 720p.
Stupidly its all done in software though so I am only getting 10fps with 50% - 100% CPU usage, my phone is heating up like an oven and drinking battery like there is no tomorrow. Seriously, these phones have 4K hardware encoding, why on earth is Skype not using the hardware properly?

Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.
The Ipad is the Apple air.
When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

@Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.
If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
Thank you

Does anyone have wi-fi issues after 7.1.1 update. its really killing the quality of video calls.

its really killing the quality of video calls.Facetime and Skype for example. Tried all the tips including resetting networks, rebooting, nothing helpled.

After I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1, there is always problem with Facetime and Skype. Wifi just drops for no reason. I have tried everything, resetting the phone and freezing for 10 min, but nothing helped. Hope Apple will fix this bug soon.

Samsung Note 3 Camera and Flash Issues

I have a Samsung Note 3 that is only a few months old and the Camera continues to not function correctly.
Android 4.4.2
* Flash will randomly turn off and I will need to restart my device to get it working again.
* Pictures taken with camera are slow and very often out of focus.
The camera flash issue is something most people might not notice until they absolutely need the flash.
The camera taking a long time to focus/take pictures I'm sure a lot of people have seen on a more regular basis.

Hello Tazman4u, a working phone is super important! My apologies for the issues plagueing your device. Please test the phone in safe mode: http://vz.to/1aFxLK8 If issue persists, you will want to backup contacts, pics, and files to perform a hard reset: http://vz.to/1kpmPp0

Can't access camera for group video calls

I seem to be unable to access the camera function for video conferencing. I have a windows 8 , 64 bit operating system and I am wondering if there is a specific thing that needs to be addressed. Even when I close out ecery other program open and reboot the PC, it says that it cannot access it even though as far as I know it is not being accessed by any other program. Any suggestions?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Lenovo K3 note front camera mirror images.

I have just been delivered a Lenovo K3 Note. The phone is really good value for money. Almost all functions are perfect for my money invested. However I am annoyed that despite such a nice front camera, the captured images are delivered as mirror images. i.e things on the left appear to be on the right after the image is clicked. Due to this if there is any lettering on the image it appears reverse. This is so irritating. Is there any setting or feature by which I can correct this or is it a problem in my handset. Has anyone else faced this issue. Otherwise please issue a upgrade or patch via OTA that set right this problem.

I am also facing the same problem

How do you switch to front camera while recording video?

I have the iphone 5s and while I'm recording a video, I can't figure out how to switch back and worth between front and back camera. I know how to do it while not recording but I want to switch the camera as it's actually recording, is that possible?

I don't claim to know the details of each one of the hundreds of thousands (or perhaps millions) of apps out there in the App Store.
But I can tell you with all due respect if I were writing software for the iPhone / iPad, I would never consider such a product (that switches cameras while recording), because in my humble opinion, there would be very small if any demand for such a product.

Samsung Note 3 camera not working correctly

Ever since I got my Note 3 in October 2013, I have had a problem with the flash on the phone's camera. If I set the flash to trigger for each photo, then when I press the "shutter button", the flash immediately flashes. Then 5 seconds or so later the picture is taken in the dark. It turns out VERY dark. If I set the flash to NOT flash, the same picture will come out considerably lighter, but definitely not as light as it would with a flash. If I set the flash on "Auto", it will almost never flash, but on the rare occasion that it does it will flash first, and then 5 seconds later the picture will be taken. I posted this on a different message board and the other posters suggested that it may be a problem with the camera app. They suggested I download a different camera app to see if that fixed the problem. I downloaded 2 different camera apps, and both of them work exactly the same as the originally installed camera app. So it's not the app, it's the phone. Any ideas?

Gloria1, thanks for reaching out to us today.
Let's get to work on getting the camera flash to work. I would suggest that we go into the settings, application manager, slide to the screen to the left to the ALL section. Once you are in that section scroll to the Camera Application. Once you open that up tap on Force Close, Clear Data, and clear cache. This will still keep all of your photos in the device. Once you have done that head back to the home screen, power the device off all the way. Leave the device off for 5 seconds and power it back on. Once it is back up and running please try the camera again. Keep us posted.

Samsung Note 4 Camera Failed

Just received my Note 4 and set it up. Camera does not work. It says Camera Failed. I turned device off and back on, forced stop on camera and cleared, no software updates are available. Really don't want to do factory reset with hours invested in setting up. Any suggestions?

Matnean,
The camera function is definitely important so I totally understand your concern. Let's get to the bottom of this and get your camera working right.
When are you getting the camera failed error? Have you ever been able to use the camera since you purchased the phone? Any damage physical or liquid damage on the phone?
Try running the phone in safe mode http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-121765/ and retest the camera. If you are able to use the camera in safe mode without getting the error, the issue is due to a 3rd party app. You will then need to start uninstalling the 3rd party apps one at a time to determine which one is causing the issue. Keep me posted if the issue persist.
