Tango still the only video chat option - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Has anyone discovered any other options for video chat yet? I wish there was one with a desktop client....

Was looking for another app as well... tried Fring but it uses the back camera.
Tango sucks though, it's so stuttery and laggy even over wifi. I'm gonna try Qik next, but it doesn't seem like there's any good video calling app for android yet.

ooVoo did not allow me to do video chat as it will not let me select using the front facing camera as my video source in the app settings on my Nexus S nor my girlfriends. So it is not a viable choice for Nexus S owners.

I wrote qik support on this last week, but they couldn't give be an ETA on a video chat app for NS.

About to just program a video chat app myself. -_-

On ooVoo's website, it says that they are working on Nexus S compatibility. The last time I checked was couple weeks ago, so yeah, could have changed by now.

nothing works except tango. Which 'works' but doesn't work. I have a bunch of video chat apps installed on my phone waiting patiently for one of them to update.
I am SO STOKED about oovoo! Desktop to mobile! Anf they announced support for NS!!! argh!

I am hoping Skype video support comes to Android sometime soon. My family that lives all over the country uses it to keep in touch, so it'd be nice to have that option from my phone. I don't really have a reason to use video chat on my phone otherwise at the moment.

Not available for us yet.

currently Skype works very well in Android, just no video
voice only at the moment

I tried ooVoo and it looks promising, but yeah it doesn't work for NS yet. The UI is nice, and the desktop client seems good. Keeping an eye on this one...
Can't believe Google dropped the ball on this. THEIR phone with a FFC and no Google Chat video.

Hahaha.....yea tru!!!
I'm gonna run to evo page lets check it
As of right it seems that none of the Video calling apps work with 2.3 at the moment. It'll be a little bit before devs get an update out. I assure you that it's not just the video apps working, but other apps as well. It's the same thing that went down we first got froyo.
Tango
Try Tango, It also works cross platform, to iPhails and CPU's...
I tried yahoo, aim, tango and qik. They all don't work...I hope they do something about this soon

Why so glum?
If Skype could get video chat working with it now, I'd be happy. Not many people I know have phones capable of video calling, but I do have family in parts of the country that use Skype.

Anyone who has Tango, and the Market app can see that it now supports the Nexus S. Should be make a new thread every time an app supports the Nexus S?

Yes, if it is a desired app such as video calling.
Why are you being a jerk about it? I didn't have Tango. I was waiting for something to be supported. Guess what? I downloaded Tango and now I have fully supported video calling.
Who wants to test it with me? I wanna check it out. PM me your email/phone number.

Is this app working well for anyone? I tried video chat with my brother today (he has a Nexus S like me) as well as my dad (who was using Tango on an iPhone 4). All of us were on Wifi. Video quality was terrible. Audio latency and quality were terrible. On the whole, it was unusable for us.
Wifi didn't work well for me either, haven't tried 3g yet.

Fring now with Video!

Fring now supports Nexus S
Fring now supports the front facing camera of the Nexus S.

Cool! But as I understand it Skype blocked Fring some time ago. Is Fring-to-Fring the only way to video chat? Or can you video chat with someone on Google Talk through Fring? That'd be awesome...

yes
but the nice thing about Fring, is that you can add all your ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc contacts into it
is better than Trillian
although i prefer the Yahoo IM to Yahoo IM video chat better
as it works with PC counterpart

I tried tango last night over wifi - was easy to set up and find a friend, connected via wifi and tested talking to my brother who is in a town a few hours away who has a galaxy tab. I was fairly impressed with it, although it is a bit of a slide show... Fring is better? Last time I used it was on my old old E71.
Fring now DOES video chats!
anyone tried?

The previous version of Tango wasn't as good as Frings, but now the new Tango has better quality than Fring. No lag and worked great over TMo in San Fran.

[Q] What do you do with the front camera ?

Hi there.
Do you know some applications for video conference using the front camera ?
Thanks a lot !
Edit :
- Fring
- ooVoo
Take picture of yourself. That's about it. Very useful, isn't it?
The latest ooVoo client works in portrait mode for tab-to-PC conferencing.

Tango. There's also an iPhone Tango app so you can video chat with the rest of the world.
I know people who work for Telus here in Canada and they were told skype video for Android will be out very soon and I believe it because they are advertising skype video on their nexus s which will be released Friday. That will make use of the front camera!

OP: Absolutely nothing. I suppose I could use it for Vid-conf, but who really does that? It's the most unwanted technology for the last 10 years.... even worse than MS Bob.

10 years? More like 20. I remember seeing video-phones at shows when I was a young kid, there's a good reason they never caught on.

Skype with video for Android looks like it's imminent. May finally find a use for the front facing camera. The only time I video chat is via skype so this could be a good move, though the video quality of the front-facing camera doesn't do the idea justice...
This is cool, any ETA from when SGT users will be available to get the new skype?

on my GT, Yahoo Messenger mmakes use of the back camera only. there's no option to swtich to the front camera.
ooVoo doesn't work as well. i can make calls but it doesn't show any video. the weird thing with ooVoo is that when i try to select my device, it says that the model that i have isn't supported. maybe because i'm using the Wifi version only?

Best App For Video Chatting

Whats the best video messaging app. Right now Im using Tango to video chat off a Galaxy Tab and Thunderbolt. But its got some bugs.. Its really staticy. Does anyone recommend another video app. I got the tab last week and gave it to my girlfriend so we can chat while shes away on business, she's in new york while im in chicago but we can only see eachother for about 15 mins then we gotta talk off the phone cuz there is so much static, and delay.
Im hoping someone has an ace up their sleeve because that would be awesome
I used Tango last night, but the guy I was testing wiyh said my image was maginified way too much. All he could see was my eye and nose.
Try oovoo. It's working good for me over wifi.

Both dont work fully with Gingerbread 2.3.3.

alot of people like to knock it but I've tried many different video messaging apps, but I still find the Qik video app the better of all the ones ive tried. Also tried yahoo messenger video chat, works ok but I dont use yahoo enough to use it.
Im gonna give a shot to vtok, are there any other solutions for tab to pc/mac? I really need this to talk to my family in mexico, none of my family relatives has data plan in their phones is just way too expensive and slow unlike the U.S.

I like oovoo. It works well for me.
IMHO Skype dropped the ball big-time by not including video (& sms) for android. I'm using ooVoo. I'm pretty sure it's the only app that allows video calling from android to PC. When it works, it works great - even on 3G. But it has been giving problems these last few days. However, the support that I've received from them has been good. They haven't figured out what the problem is yet, they're looking into out & their responses have been quick.
