[Q] Skype (or any other video chat app) on 2x? - LG Optimus 2x

has any one of the lucky owners of the phone tried to use Skype on it? Is there video chat support? Surely the hardware is up to the task.
How bout OooVoo?

I tried with Yahoo Messenger and that worked.
Havn't tried Skype.

Skype doesn't support video chat, and I can't even log in, it crashes every time I start it (2.2.1)

I have tried skype. It works perfectly! Excellent sound quality using either 3G/H or wifi.
Sadly no video support yet. There are some other apps that do have video like Tango or Fring. Downside is that the other party needs the same app too. ( correct me if im wrong )

How come you are running 2.2.1 iso 2.2.2 ?
Here Skype just runs beautiful, and stable.

Pre-sale sample

Tango doesn't work on 2.2.2 it crashes every time i try to call.

Any update is Tango or Fring are working with the FFC on thus phone?
Does Yahoo messenger works with the FFC on this phone?

Tango works, but the front cam is not supported.

Beta fring 2.4.5.9 can work with the FFC just fine.
Download it here http://reg.fring.com/app/versions/Fring2459.apk
Note this is NOT the market version, it is a later version which is beta testing.

[Q] skype w/ webcam enabled

I have installed a couple different iterations of Skype on the Gtab but te webcam doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Skype doesnt have a Mobile version with video yet. only talk. your gonna have to wait for official release from skype with video support or use a different program. Hope this helps.
Are there any video chat apps that work with Gtab? I've tried Tango and the audio makes loud crackling noise even when volume turned all the way down; the video works for a few seconds then force closes.
Yahoo messenger is the only one I know of right now.

Thanks! I will try Qik.
has anyone tried fring yet on the gtab? i have it installed but dont have anyone to test it out with lol
Yeah the test video call works in fring but there is a terrible crackling sound from the speakers. So basically video will work but audio is garbage, so it is useless.

unless you just want to play skype beer pong haha.
thanks for the info hopefully they fix one of these video call programs.
Fring did something that Skype didn't like, and the two no longer play together.

Change default camera in video conference?

Hey guys,
Using every video conference app I can find, it defaults to the rear camera.
I recently upgraded gtalk to the new version with video conference - tried it using a test account on my laptop (camera conference between phone account and laptop account) and again, defaults to the rear camera.
Would anyone know of any fix to this? None of the apps I've found so far provide even the option to switch, which would seem like the most obvious thing to do!
Cheers

I'm experiencing the same problem.
I just installed Yahoo Messenger for Android (official app) which has now support for video calling, but again it uses only the rear camera.
Maybe there's a tweak/hack to make the apps "think" that the front camera is the rear camera?
Ive tried yahoo, tango, fring and gtalk it ain't working lol

This should now have a much greater possibility of working now that the android app supports video call natively on some roms.
Biggest thing is i think, that whe need a front camera, maybe a developer can adjust the program that whe only can or must use back camera !!

This is already done. You can test it with Fring Voice call. Its more of a question of telling the new Skype app that the leo is also a capable phone for video calling.
Its actually not working with Miui 2.3.. it just gives a black image.. back or front = same
When someone is calling to you with video, you get video .... accept you can't send video...
Maybe skype is updating it later

I have the same problem. Its probably not starting the video correctly. I have heard that in Skype v3.0 it will be working on all phones and not limited to the ones specified on the website.
It sucks since we cant even see a video come in either. Tested it a few time, no luck.

Which file exactly from that thread? There are 7... obviously some saying two cameras, but which did you use?
EDIT: com.skype.raider-2-onecam.zip
Just tested com.skype.raider-1cam.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 - skype and video works good, but i can't receive phone incoming calls from GSM or 3G when skype is active and online.
Does anyone also have this issue?
When there are incoming call, i receive FC of com.android.phone if i try to pick up the call. After FC there are no sound in the system until the reset.
If skype is not active all works ok.
I have a TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.4.0 Android 2.3.4 GB ROM in my HTC HD2
Same here, the incomming call rings, but when picked up no sound and the screen freezes.
I go back to the skype from the market and wait for the problem will be resolved.
UPDATE:
Just found out that the skype downloaded from the market has the same problems.
When i log out of skype, i can receive the 3G calls.

i think video calling is possible with secondary camera and x8 doesnt hav a secondary cam. although i read on market dat sumhow some devices can use back camera for vid calling? i downloaded skype too,tried to make an account on skype but wtf i need a very unique password it seems,but i can live without it
The secondary video camera is not needed, the problem lies with ARM6 vs ARM7 cpu thingy. But i guessed someone has managed to hack the thingy to work.

cpu defines the speed of the phone. In order to have good smooth video calling experience, you gotta have a fast and good cpu.

huhh... d vid calling?
Yes, when it comes to vid callin, you cannot do with X8. but you do have skype app which you can use for chatting and voice calls. Of course good data connection is required. If you use hsdpa, it would be good enough. X8's processor is good enough for voice calls on the net.
Yes the video calling

So far I know Skype and google community to be the only 2 working.
Thanks
