I Hate HTC fr no support for video calling on front camera.. just hate that !! a complete waste of 3g on video call... i tried 'fring' for video calling to check if front cam works but the camera that works on it is the back camera why not the front ?? anyone having this issue and can it be cleared ??
Try Tango, it supports both cameras

It's not HTC's fault, android 2.2.1 just doesn't support it!

There needs to be a ffc app that works across all phones and platforms. Try Qik that might work.

isn't the re any application which can do video chatting. between my phone(using ffc) and a pc?
Fring is now able to use the front camera. Just update or install it from the market.

does Google Video chat work with the FFC?
Thanks

Google will be releasing the video add on to gtalk, but that is only for android 2.3+ phones. And will be released in a while. So just wait for the gingetbread update for our phones.

How does one go about doing this? Thanks!
Download Tango from the market for video chat. Otherwise wait for software updates from ustream and others

I have qik,which worked on mytouch 4g, but haven't tried it on my nexus s yet. I see no reason why it shouldn't work there as well. Bambuser is also good.

Qik is your best bet, supports online streaming built in, but it's not updated for front camera yet.
yeah there is literally no way right now till yahoo etc support ns.
Anyone figured out how to do cross-platform video chatting with the DS7? I know qik just updated their app so it works for us now, but I really want to be able to chat with my wife who only has a laptop. Wifi is fine.
Also, does google support video chat with the DS7?

Oovoo sucks for the streak it doesnt allow you to use the front facing cam...
Have u tried fring, not sure if it will work.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
fring, qik, skype: nope.
oovoo: it's not video chat unless you can see the video while you're chatting.
anyone have any other ideas? I assume that this will be possible in honeycomb. Anyone have any idea how long that will take? Gah. Not impressed with this thing so far.
Anyone know if there is a flashlight app like HTC flashlight for Xoom... tried the video recorded flash on and it works well as a torch!

Try Tiny Flashlight, I just installed this recently and works very well on my Xoom.

Hi guys,
Question: I know officially, video calling is not supported on Froyo (weird however that my son has a Samsung Galaxy SL that is running same Android version 2.2.1, but does support video calling...).
Is any of you using Tango on the IS? I tried it, both connected to the same WiFi, he can see me, I can see myself in the little screen, he can see himself in the little screen, but I cannot see him on my phone. Where is is supported to show up, I see black...
Anyone experience the same?
Thanks.

I've just started to use tango so I'm far from being an expert on this topic. I tried it in a recent business trip with my wife at home. I had the same and had to tell my wife to hit the video button on her iphone as I couldn't see her.
Ok, thanks all, I have found my specific issue, it seems that Tango has a known problem on the Samsung, so I will just have to wait until they fix it.
Hi guys I just installed Tango and did video call with fridends' iPhone and nexus s (both running Tango) but they both see my video up side down!!
I also tried video call between nexus s and iPhone, both video on their phones are all fine just my IS seems taking the up side down video with front facing camera.
This is really annoying!! I just wonder if any of you have the same problem?
By the way I just updated to gingerbread today and did not try Tango before on froyo. And when I used the new "mirror" app default in gingerbread I can see my front facing cam capturing the correct video. So this should be a Tango comparability issue with gingerbread??

I've used tango with my brother (he has an iphone4) with no problems. But I'm on froyo still. It could be a GB bug...

Skype doesnt work for Video Chat? Qik wont load? does Tango work? What Video chat do you use?
I used google talk over 3g a few days ago. Bionic to my sisters bionic New Jersey to Hawaii. Worked surprisingly well!

Tango works for me. I was able to video chat with my girlfriend. she has an Iphone4.
Fring is a good app too, it works on Android and iOS
Thanks. I will try them out. Im already getting so much grief about no facetime
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I havent tried fring yet. Tango works but grainy. Hopefully fring is better. On my infuse qik was decent. No facetime is getting me blasted by my cousins. Lol. 14 cousins all on facetime. I saw the light they havent yet.

What is the best app to chat from my phone to someone on a PC? So far I have only tried Skype and it was so slow it was unusable.

I used Google Talk to video chat with my girlfriend. She was signed into her gmail (I believe a plugin is needed to add video chat to gmail) on her laptop and I was on my Bionic. Worked great except the camera on her laptop sucks in low light areas.
The only two I use is vtok and Google talk... they both work and vtok is cross platform
I saw that one too. I will try it out.

I got it from here .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16889575&postcount=1262
In settings Enable Video Calling
Then in the Advanced Settings Check Use valid preview surface and I checked Autostart on boot.
Thank you! Works perfectly!

I agree! Worked great! It does like to run in the background, some force closes during multi-tasking and doesn't have pop up notifications. But the video works fine.
