I have a Motorola Atrix. Messaging to use on PC fine. Voice Call fine. But VIDEO........................ All i get is a black screen and a ringing phone tone. The user at the other end gets an incoming call and connects but can't see me, even though they are in the call. At this point i continue to see a black screen and hear the ringing phone tone. Nothing changes. The ringing tone overrides my phones volume control so can;t be switched off. I can't go back to disconnect the call. I can't turn off yahoo. Even when i force yahoo to stop via the app manager the ringing tone continues. I have to shut down the phone and start again to get it to stop.... WTF??????????????????????????????? Never had this trouble when i was on iPhone before. Wish i'd never gone to android sometimes!
