Video Call Over Wifi???

Is there any aplication to make video calls over wifi on the xperia?
I hate i cant make any video calls here in USA with my phone.
Now the new iphone is advertising they can do it now. (Wifi only)
So my guess we already have it. Do we?

not sure if this is working for X1 or not.

Thanks i will check it out.

You can't use Portrait until someone makes an app to switch the camera IDs. I have a post on that somewhere.
There's a service called QIK(.com) which can do it, but the app they have made available for WinMo can only stream. The Android version on the HTC EVO does proper video calls. Maybe someone will write an app that uses the service, or maybe QIK will extend their app, or maybe a phone vendor will partner with QIK, though it all seems unlikely with WinMo 6 on it's last legs.

yahoo messenger w/video ripped from mytouch

I believe this link will take you to download the ripped yahoo messanger app. I've got it, but have not had the opp to use the video chat. But it does show up as an option check out it out people!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812919
Edit: according to the above post only rear camera working on video, but hey its progress!

I am getting.. "Cannot download, The content is not supported on this phone."

I got mine from the evo forums I will post a link later. It is actually 2 downloads, the messaging apk and then the video chat addon apk. You must install the messaging apk for the video apk to work.

This is gonna be pretty awesome as soon as the devs get it working the right way. I'm waiting on the links, good work everyone, this community is the best.

This is the original link that I found the link to download the apks http://androidspin.com/2010/10/19/y...chat-application-found-in-leaked-mytouch-rom/

Tried it with my Epic. No camera from the phone is being recognized on the PC client and the phone continues to say "Connecting...".
Will try it at home where I can log onto Wifi for more testing.

I downloaded it but I can't seem to get it to wrk. Do I have to install it ontop of the prexsisting mmessenger client or do I uninstall first. I tried both and they don't work
Epic 4G

I still havnt had a chance to use it myself, but it is sounding like a no go for now. Hopefully someone can play with it and get it working, I don't know why google has failed to implement video with gtalk yet! It sucks having a front facing camera and not being able to use it. Because I don't know any one with an evo, epic, or iphone ect... we need phone to pc video chat!

Don't even try it won't work guys unsupported just like skype.

If ur looking for a pc to phone video cat try "qik in touch" its in bet now but frm what I hear its working

works on Evo just fine, but doesn't work on Epic yet

works for me (cell to pc) even tho the other party sees my front facing cam image sideways on their end but I see my image right side up in my self view window while in a video chat session. Still kinda buggy trying to establish a successful video chat. I have not tried cell to cell or over a 3g/4g connection, only verified cell to pc over my wifi connection.

Same here. Finally got a connection, but it was after multiple attempts.

It was working for me but then i had and update.push by yahoo... claimin to give better quality...which actually made the video call not work and give u a fc pop up
send it from maldito's phone aka (SolarSystemGalaxy)

Has anybody tried voice calling sans the video? How do you rate that? Does it work with earphones? Can you use earphones with video calling and use back camera for that?

[Q] Tango video chat

Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.

I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...

Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways

I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.

I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.

just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.

Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.

I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.

a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..

I installed mine from the apk from my droid popped it in dropbox and than installed it that way, installed fine just cuts out when i try pulling up the video feed.

VTok, New Gmail video chat app

The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.

face tbe tablet down it will turn normal

Nice find, thanks!

Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!

Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.

I installed and when i log in it goes to a white screen and says contacts at the top of the screen. Im not quite sure what to do from there or if this is an error. Anyone have any input. Im running vegan ginger rc1. Thanks.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.
Still can't get it to work properly with Vegan Ginger.

I was able to get it to work, although i get the sideways screen issue -- still a better substitute than having nothing...much better quality that the yahoo messenger video chat
Running vegan 7

Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!

Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim

Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.

apk?
I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

How do you mean? Like, lay it face down?

Excellent app, this really made my day when I got it to work and only displays users that can videochat so no guessing

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!

For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?

Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!

New way of Video Chat

well it seems we have a way of getting video chat on our phones.
Thanks to sakisuren for this....
By using Vtok and the new gtalk from gapps it is possible.
Its based on gtalk and connects with your gmail account so no need for extra accounts!
New Gtalk Video
Flash this in recovery.
Vtok
Install as a normal apk/app
you won't be able to download this from market as it says its not compatible...but we have tried it and it seems to work.
I have contacted developer for support, so i shall see where this goes
We need this testing on wifi to wifi see if call connection does work!
happy videoing boys and girls!

Thats really great. will flash it and check today
