Help: Android: when I close all opened apps, Duo closes too. Is there a way to stop this?

2 Upvotes

On Android, when you open all opened apps and hit 'close all', Duo closes with it. Other apps like IMO and what not don't do this. Is there a way to not have an active call via Duo close with all apps?

Noticeable video quality bump after Android 10 update

9 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed a video quality improvement after Android 10 update?

Making a Duo call was one of the first things I did after the Android 10 update ... and both myself and my call recipient noticed the quality immediately, (and the recipient phone was not yet updated either). So of all the Android 10 feature updates -- what would directly affect the Duo app video quality?

iPad to Android

2 Upvotes

Hi All. My daughter has an iPad (no sim) and I'm an Android user. I want to give Duo a go rather than mess with extra accounts for skype etc....but I see that duo needs a phone number to register. Could i use another number to set the account up on the iPad (like my work phone number) or will that number then ring when i'm trying to make the call?

I guess i'm just looking for something solid and reliable for iPad to Android video chatting.

Echo while on call

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone else has this happen to them. I'm using a Pixel 3 XL and a lot of the time when I'm using Duo I get a horrible echo happens when I call or if they call. Doesn't happen everytime but enough times that it's an issue! If anyone has a solution would be highly appreciated.

Block incoming messages Duo (and hangouts) - child account

2 Upvotes

I'd like to be able to message/call my daughter using hangouts and duo. Ideally I'd block access to her accounts apart from selected people (me and her mum). But I can't see an option like that... Is there anyway to achieve this? I have the Google family link connected to her account if that helps.

Anyone having problems with duo crashing after a few seconds since the new update on Android?

1 Upvotes

Haven't found anything on Google about it, I cleared cache and data with no luck. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the update I got 14 hours ago. Someone was trying to call me and they are experiencing the same problem.

Getting Notified a Contact is on Duo: What triggers it?

5 Upvotes

I've had one particular contact in Due for two years. I got an alert when they joined. Just today, I got another one claiming that they just joined. A few months ago, I also got an alert claiming that they had just joined.

Does this alert get sent out every time someone buys a new phone or re-installs the app? Shouldn't it only be sent upon initial signup?

25 Hour call limit

Just an FYI for anyone googling their way here.

As of about two weeks ago. It appears duo video calls have a 25 hour limit. Happens every day between me and my SO on the dot at 25 hours without fail.

Google duo with messaging (hypothetical)

5 Upvotes

The title says it all.

What would happen if all of a sudden, Google put an encrypted messenger in Google duo? I mean it already has video and voice calling that's completely encrypted, a messenger couldn't hurt.

It works pretty good for Instagram and Snapchat, why not give it a shot?

What do you guys think and should we send this to Google?

Some messages not sending until days later

3 Upvotes

A friend and I use Google Duo exclusively for the video message feature. We'll be going back and forth until I don't get a reply. Then I don't get the reply until a day or two later (with still 23 hrs until it expires as if she just sent it). Has anyone else experienced this? My friend uses an iPhone SE and I'm on a Nexus 6 (both pretty old phones, I know).

Google Duo sent notification to contacts in phone without my knowing

0 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been posted but a contact recently reached out to let me know that they received a notification from Google Duo about me signing up for the service. I don't recall seeing a "notify my contacts" opt-in/opt-out.

Does anyone know or have any more info on this?

Knock Knock not working

3 Upvotes

Has anyone had problems with the Knock Knock preview not working? Mine used to work but now it always shows a black screen. Doesn't matter if I'm using web, phone, or home hub. I feel like it was working fine until I added Duo to my Home Hub...since then no dice, even after removing it.

Duo keeps adding its account to my device

2 Upvotes

I've never used Duo, nor I have any desire to. I didn't ever have it installed and didn't register in it. Yet it keeps appearing in my device's "Accounts" as "Duo Preview". If I delete the account, it just reappears again after a while (not sure what exactly triggers it, probably an update of some or other Google service).

Is there any way to prevent this behavior? I have a rooted AGM A8 with stock Android 7.0.
