Hi.
Is it possible to do native video calling on the Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) using only the Wi-Fi connection?
I'm running 2.2.1 at the moment and everytime I try to use the video call function, it's telling me that it requires a 3G connection.
Is it possible to modify this native video calling app in order for it to work with Wi-Fi?
Thanks for answers
Fring app can do this, but its not available now. If I dont remember wrong, in 08.2010, Fring has Skype video calls over 3g and wifi
Check out Tango
install skype it works great.

Not yet but soon.
Anyway there is some third party alternatives (not native i agree but working):
yahoo messenger
Tango
oovoo
yahoo messenger can do it.
Thanks for the suggestions.
So what plethora of unnecessary and suspicious permissions do these suggested 3rd-party apps require?

?????????????????????????????

Pretty sure with bell they have a different package for video calling I don't know how it all works you'll have to visit your providers website - just google it I can't post links yet.
As for third party apps there is a few I believe, I use Tango it works the best for me for the very little video calling I do, its still not the greatest yet. You can video call other galaxy users, iphoners, and I'm sure other people who's phones are good enough.
I'm sure skype will have something and google will also just don't know timelines or stuff like that, google it
you forgot to mention Fring

That's the thing im just wondering if Canadian Bell users specifically can video phone.
So far I know Tango works.
I installed Skype from the market but when I tried to test it with a friend I didn't have a video option...Anyone has this working?
No video option in Skype as of now. Google Talk works with Google website. Or between iOs you can use Fring. Available in market

Works only if you have Android 2.3.4, for Optimus 2x you need Cyanogen Mod 7.
I have packaged as an update.zip, install with cwm download here
Whats a shame, was hoping for 2.2 to work aswell
It installs but it does not work. I am unable to initiate either a video call or audio call. Unable to receive video / audio calls.

I install this skype file i can see the video feature on the when i sign in but when try make video call I'm getting this error
"Sorry! The application skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
if somebody can fix it we might able to get skype on lg thrill
Have you tried downloading the regular one from the market yet?? Cause looking at the app for download it supports SGSII and the Evo 3D so it Might support our devices (hopes) I personally havent tried it yet so I don't know for certain.
regular version on market doesn't support skype video only voice
I use the Skype from the market with video calls. Aside from the video from the other person being half screen it seems to work fine.

You will probably need to have Gingerbread to use Skype video calls..
Flash rogers 20c,I'm using it and my videocall works. Skype is downloaded from market.
does skype work on Cyanogen roms?
I've been using Tango but noticed that skype and ooVoo are available in the market now (for our phone). Has anyone tried skype or ooVoo with this phone?
I tired skype if you installed it from market video won't work.
What you have do is using root explore replace a Optmus 3d build prop and restart the phone and then install the skype apk from market then it will work. Next you can replace your original thrill build prop back again.
Could we possibly get someone with an O3D to Upload the Working Skype for us considering we should be able to just DL the one yall have and install it on the phone.
Skype And oovoo
