Video Issues on Android 4.0 (ICS)

This Version worked fine on this handset while on Android 2.3.04, but since the upgrade to ICS 4.0.3, I have a Video issue. Everything looks perfect on the Phone, my video looks fne on my screen, but the other end see's my video with a massive amount of green in it, looks like an old 70's VDU. Have tried this with various people on the other end, a mixture of PC, Android, Windows Phone Beta version, and all is the same horrible green hue on the video. The video I see from them is fine. I am assuming this is just a bug or compatibility issue with Android 4.0.3. I dont know anyone who has 4.0 yet so I cannot check if this affects others.

 

DeviceMaker : HTC

Device Name : Sensation XE (With Beats Audio)

Device Model : Z715e

Android OS version : 4.0.3

Network : T-Mobile-UK

Skype client version installed : 2.7.0.907

Hi All

 

The green video issue is known to our developers and they have been helping Qualcomm to find a fix.
There is a solution to the problem that is currently being tested, but we are unable to provide you with a date of solution.

 

We ask for your patience until this solution is sent out to your devices.


I recommend a search for your problem and to download the latest Skype.
To get the most out of Skype I recommend Skype Premium.

Re: Video Issues on Android 4.0 (ICS)

I also have the same problem with others who upgraded their OS to Android 4 !

It's so frustrating that skype isn't compatible to our OS. it was working so well when i had Android 2 yet once i upgraded other people see me green as i do cam with them!

i hope there will be a solution for this, skype please do update sooooooooon!

if this will take too long for u to do an action, can anyone tell me how to get back to my original OS?? i would rather stay on Android 2 than having a greenish appearance to others :sad:(

As I said earlier, Skype is working together with Qualcomm to fix this issue and we have a solution that is currently being tested.

It will be released as soon as it is confirmed as a solution by both parties.
