Trouble with qik?

---

I have been trying to use qik and can only get it to work with when I am calling an Evo device. Any one got any tips or advice?

I did get it to work between mine and my wife's Epic we were both on 4g at the time audio worked on first connect then we got disconnected second attempt we couldn't hear each other. Video was perfect pretty high quality the audio was not perfect though. I will use it but not often. I want Adobe Air video calling app now that should work better only time will tell when we get it.

A friend of mine also has the epic and we figured out that the recipient needs to press a mic button underneath the video feed to be able to speak. We got it to work while we were both on 3g.

While we're talking about Qik, do both parties need to have the app open, front and center in order to receive a call? Without even starting the app, there's a Qik service which I would imagine lets people without it open know they're being called.

Download FRING it works 100% better as long as your 3g service is running...

fring and what?

since fring disabled the skype connection, what are you logged in under to video call? ive tryed everything i could find on here to call from epic to iphone, or at least to a pc, nothing works!

qik works great on evo n 3g but dies on epic in 3g due to epics having 1./3 the up speed of evo in 3g. so if you are in 3g don't bother til the epic 3g speed bug is fixed

Fring itself. You're not using skype to do the video... you need the other person's skype account

+1 for Fring

I think QIK is great app for video sharing, but absolutely awful for video chat.

For starters, why does it distort the video to fill the screen? It makes everything look horrible. When I do get it working, it works so poorly with tons of distortion, and the audio doesn't work for crud.

Now Fring on the other hand, it's not the best quality, but it works. If you're on 3G audio drops like crazy, so it's best to do it on 4g or Wifi.

My trouble with Qik? The fact that their icon is noticably larger than all other icons. Pisses me right off.
