Skype Video Calling Fixed. Video Lip Sync Fixed BUT ....
Posted: January 23rd, 2012, 9:21 pmHi All
Not too sure if there are other posts relating to all this but I've bitten the bullett!
I emailed SO about the Skype video not working, (unit only sees a "back" camera not a front), and was told to "contact Skype" about it!!!!!!
Also, I was fed up with the audio lip sync being out on all video files I played. Well I've got both of those things fixed by loading the Momo09 ICS Android 4.0.1 image on my unit. It really works well and Skype Video now works. All my movies and videos work without lipsync issues. My Android now has a Full market so I can download and install things like the TUNE IN Radio player which also works brilliantly and is someting I really need so that I can listen to reginal BBC Radio stations, this app simply wasn't listed in the market place before!
My unit now thinks it's a GT-19100 what ever that is! But whatever it is, it has a full Market Place.
I've only found two things that don't work which did work before. Locations services, my unit is no longer able to work out it's location on the maps, I'm not too sure how it did it before as there is no GPS and no 3G, but it did work and doesn't now (a pretty minor issue). The other thing that doesn't work is any flash based content, e.g. BBC iPlayer, TV Catchup etc etc, these worked before although they were so jittery and blotchy that it was bearly watchable , although the BBC iPlayer wasn't too bad. YouTube works fine, and ITV Player kinda streams but is too jittery to watch.
I just followed the routines on the other threads shown in this forum and links to external sites. Flashing was very easy and surprisingly quick, in fact it took me far longer to get the scripts running to provide the full market etc.
If anyone else has loaded this image and has been able to fix these two minor faults I'd really appriciate some guidence.
I really like the UI on ICS, it's much better than 2.3.x
FYI, this is what my unit nows lists under the "About tablet" screen
Model GT-19100
Android Ver 4.0.1
Baseband Ver 0.4
Kernal 3.0.8+
