FRING video chat - can we get it to work on out G1s?

The app says that there are hardware limitation and that my phone can't use the video chat.
However... I'd like to push my limits. So does anyone know if it actually looks at my hardware or if it looks at the what kind of phone it is? Either way, can we trick the app into thinking that I'm using another phone or different hardware? Or any fix at all really to get video chat on the g1?
Thanks.

By default the application disables the video call option unless your hardware is on the list of supported devices. This doesn't mean you can't turn it back on yourself though.
In the options menu simply check the box to enable video calling and voila. Tested this theory myself on my G1 earlier this evening. Video worked without any problems on a skype call.

wow, thanks for the reply... I just tried it again myself... yep it works.
For some odd reason, I clicked to enable video chat before and it wouldn't work. Oh well... it does now

[Q] Skype working for anyone?

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

[Q] Is native Wi-Fi video calling on Galaxy S possible?

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?

Skype video on thrill?

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?

[Q] ooVoo, Tango, Skype

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
