So i have used tango with a couple people and if i call someone with an iphone or 3g vzw android phone it works okay but when using it to call other thunderbolt people the audio cuts out 95% of the time and the other 5% there is major echo. the video quality is a bit jerky but okay but worthless if u cant hear what the other person is saying.. anyone else have that problem
I cant even get it to Work! Succs...
Any Idea Why?
I have the same problem when calling between my two Thunderbolts. I should try tango on my Xoom + Thunderbolt together and see if it works better, because it's unusable between my Thunderbolts. The audio cuts out horribly (though the video is okay with good lighting).

Is Tango the best/most popular app for video chat right now?

it works fine between mine and wifes thunderbolt i had a problem at first because the screen where it said register or skip, i skipped than the call would go through but she would not receive it so you have to do the text register and email register and it works fine now
I too have major audio issues when going from 1 TBolt to another, and looking for a fix. Skype video calling was a major original selling point of the phone to me. I'd like something that at least works until Skype video comes out.

I've had the same problem with my friend who has an Evo.
My wife and I have the same problems and I also ran into it when trying to do a video call with her uncle who has an Evo.
Hopefully Tango gets an update to fix this problem.
Tango is very buggy! my girl friend who owns an evo try to call me several times and the call didnt not go through! We both have full 4G signals and it still disconnect and poor sound.
I tried Fring and for some reason it will not use my front camera. My brother has iphone and it works fine for him--but he only sees my rear camera when we call each other even though I see his front camera. I have not tried Tango yet.
Just had a friend with an iphone call me using Tango; he was on wifi and i was on 3G. Worked well, but sometimes the voice would cut out if we both tried speaking at the same time.
I hate that the only people we can really use video chat with right now are iphone owners. Epic fail, HTC/Verizon/google.
Yahoo Messenger seems to work well. I used it last night, computer on the other end.

Ironic, isnt it?
QIK seems to be working for me. I just called my wife's MT4G and we video chatted just fine.
What i dont understand is why no program works for tbolt to tbolt video chat every program i try has a horrible feedback echo issue which isnt present if u video call any other phone.
So I figured I would add to this....
Tango has released updates in the past few days that fix the bugs, now we just have the microphone issues... For a great fix try muting the receiving unit's microphone until you speak... And vice versa.
Works great TB to TB, and is a nice workaround if you absolutely need the video chat like my business partner, who uses it to see his son!!!

Glad to hear that the most recent update has made some improvements for some of you. We're constantly testing devices and working on fixes so just hang tight!
We appreciate your patience!

Why doesn't Google implement video chat into Gtalk or Google voice? I think that would be the next logical step in the evolution of those two apps what do you guys here think?
Skpe is good but I don't use it and I would rather use a app that I already use on my desktop that I am familiar with that I can use on my mobile device.
(Nexus One) plus it would give me a choice.
I know that the Nexus One does not have a front facing camera, but a native video chat app for the android os would be best. plus it simple to make a mirror for the camera so that it can be use for video chat.
What makes you think they're not working on it for Android already?
http://www.google.com/chat/video
I know that they have the plug in for the desktop which i use, i do hope that it will be implemented ,maybe the next update (gingerbread).
Won't do us much good without a front facing camera. Maybe once the hardware becomes more common they will add it.
I remember when video phones were all the rage many years back. The plans were ridiculous, the quality was piss poor, and no one used it. Now that mobile networks are getting faster it might start to make sense finally.
well once a long time ago i had a iphone (god forgive for i have sin) and some guy had written a video chat program for it which never was release but i copy the mirror setup to use the camera on the iphone which did not have a front facing camera. so nexus one could use it .
You don't have to have a front facing camera for video chat.
Imagine you're talking to someone and see something cool. "Hey, check this out" / turn on video chat for a few seconds and point at whatever / turn video chat off.
As video chat becomes more and more popular, I bet that's what it'll be used for rather than looking at someone's face for 30 minutes.

I certainly hope they do but I don't think they're in much of a hurry because alternative services like Fring and Skype already have it covered.
However [and this may be a little off the rails] I hope that MMS is high on their Google Voice priority list because people send me pictures and not only can I not see them, it doesn't even tell me that I got it. Very annoying.
Whats the point to use video chat to show someone something, just record a video and mms it. I don't think video chat will catch on anyways, its been tried before with landlines. People just don't like to be seen when talking on the phone. They wouldn't mind seeing you but they don't want to be seen. Plus I see schools getting pissy about new types of "sexting."

for one its real time ,i won't have to open another app to send a mms, i can just point and show and im done.
I guess it's a question of time that Google will bless us with a full blown video app (mobile or not). The recent acquisition of Gips gives us a hint.
As voice and video is however only marginally close to Google's mission (and possibly, core competence) of making the world's information universally accessible, they are dragging their feet. And, they make internet-enabling all sorts of devices a priority.
But I can't wait for an integration of Google voice with gizmo5, which would make the talk/chat client more Skype-like.

Doesn't that only activate if she opens the Maps app?
Video chat should be made standard into android and smartphones in general. Its of great use for people that communicate thru sign language. I know it would help friends of mine and their families.

Yes that would be a pretty good feature and I suspect that most phones that come out next year will have a front facing camera.
?
Why do they leave the video calling feature out... it doesnt make any sense to remove useful features on the new os.

People don't use it, infact it's a massive flop.
Apple have tried to revive it with "facetime" but I don't think it'll get very far tbh.
actually I think it'll be more a success this time round, when it was first implemented people weren't as comfortable being in front of a cam as they are now... see chat roulette etc as proof
lol its the most pointless thing ever, especially with facetime, can only be used on wifi? ill just use my web cam on my pc then...
No body uses it, and its not going to take off... the only way it would take off is there was a chat roulett app lol.
How to get Google talk or call to work in other places apart from the US?
Sent from my X10i
I think you mean google voice? there's no such thing as 'call', and Gtalk is their IM service which is available world-wide. There are some methods available, but judging by people's comments they are extremely unreliable. I'd like to think that when someone contacts me via phone or SMS, *they will be able to contact me*, for me it's not worth messing with even though I'd really like to use GV.
Well if the a person studies abroad and has to call back home its gonna be pretty expensive. I installed skype but it has. Horrible voice quality.
Sent from my X10i
There was an app in the market place via which one can make video caller rather phone calls for free via ggoogle voice. But they mentioned that its available only to US customrrs
I think this is only available to US customers, you can only call through gtalk to gtalk just like Skype. Gtalk call is very limited.

Hardly, I've using video calling on Gtalk via iChat, it works very well.
You can't call a service crap just because it doesn't offer a feature that you want (which it never advertised).
Well Google voice only runs in America.

Huh? I have perfect call quality with both google talk voice, and skype. You prob had bad internet at that moment. Maybe something updating.
If it's a girl, calling would be the classical way of doing it, but video chatting might be a little better... I don't know.
Yeah I guess

I've had my Incredible S for 3 days now and I absolutely love it.
It's my first Android phone so I'm still learning my way around, but one thing I can't find anywhere is video calling. Can someone please tell me how i start a video call?
Dont think its possible at the moment....the incredible S packs a front vga camera in preparation for android 2.3/3 as i believe google will roll out their next update with video calling as their new feature
I downloaded the Skype app too but there doesnt seem to be an option for a cam on that either. Maybe that is dependant on the OS too as I'm sure I read somewhere that video calling was possible with Skype.
No option for sending video on Skype for me either, but Video calling using Tango is great (except for some reason my send video is upside down !). Tango is great, and its cross platform.

So Froyo doesn't support video calling?
I can't believe they shipped the phone knowing that one of its main features would be unusable.
I guess i'll have to wait for the Q2 update.
Out of curiosity, is there any way to access the front-facing camera just for taking photos etc?
