I heard that there is an unofficial Skype with video calls floating around for the Thunderbolt.
I know there is Fring and Qik, etc., but I need to be able to make calls to Skype. Does anyone know if there is an apk that works with the Incredible 2? Or is it just better to wait until the official update is released?
I'm referring to this:

does anyone know how to get the CAM to work when you use skype on the kaiser.
Not possible, unfortunatly atm
Do you mean video con? I wish skype can add in this feature into mobile skype...
To me skype sound alone is rubbish
I have installed a couple different iterations of Skype on the Gtab but te webcam doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Skype doesnt have a Mobile version with video yet. only talk. your gonna have to wait for official release from skype with video support or use a different program. Hope this helps.
Are there any video chat apps that work with Gtab? I've tried Tango and the audio makes loud crackling noise even when volume turned all the way down; the video works for a few seconds then force closes.
Yahoo messenger is the only one I know of right now.

I have gotten Qik working. ... not HD, but works!
I use qik too. The video quality isn't super but works. The broadcast live to interwebz feature is nice too.

Thanks! I will try Qik.
has anyone tried fring yet on the gtab? i have it installed but dont have anyone to test it out with lol
Yeah the test video call works in fring but there is a terrible crackling sound from the speakers. So basically video will work but audio is garbage, so it is useless.

unless you just want to play skype beer pong haha.
thanks for the info hopefully they fix one of these video call programs.
Fring did something that Skype didn't like, and the two no longer play together.
has any one of the lucky owners of the phone tried to use Skype on it? Is there video chat support? Surely the hardware is up to the task.
How bout OooVoo?

I tried with Yahoo Messenger and that worked.
Havn't tried Skype.
Skype doesn't support video chat, and I can't even log in, it crashes every time I start it (2.2.1)
I have tried skype. It works perfectly! Excellent sound quality using either 3G/H or wifi.
Sadly no video support yet. There are some other apps that do have video like Tango or Fring. Downside is that the other party needs the same app too. ( correct me if im wrong )

Here Skype just runs beautiful, and stable.

Tango works, but the front cam is not supported.
Beta fring 2.4.5.9 can work with the FFC just fine.
Download it here http://reg.fring.com/app/versions/Fring2459.apk
Note this is NOT the market version, it is a later version which is beta testing.

This should now have a much greater possibility of working now that the android app supports video call natively on some roms.
Biggest thing is i think, that whe need a front camera, maybe a developer can adjust the program that whe only can or must use back camera !!

This is already done. You can test it with Fring Voice call. Its more of a question of telling the new Skype app that the leo is also a capable phone for video calling.
Its actually not working with Miui 2.3.. it just gives a black image.. back or front = same
When someone is calling to you with video, you get video .... accept you can't send video...
Maybe skype is updating it later

I have the same problem. Its probably not starting the video correctly. I have heard that in Skype v3.0 it will be working on all phones and not limited to the ones specified on the website.
It sucks since we cant even see a video come in either. Tested it a few time, no luck.

Which file exactly from that thread? There are 7... obviously some saying two cameras, but which did you use?
EDIT: com.skype.raider-2-onecam.zip
Just tested com.skype.raider-1cam.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 - skype and video works good, but i can't receive phone incoming calls from GSM or 3G when skype is active and online.
Does anyone also have this issue?
When there are incoming call, i receive FC of com.android.phone if i try to pick up the call. After FC there are no sound in the system until the reset.
If skype is not active all works ok.
I have a TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.4.0 Android 2.3.4 GB ROM in my HTC HD2
Same here, the incomming call rings, but when picked up no sound and the screen freezes.
I go back to the skype from the market and wait for the problem will be resolved.
UPDATE:
Just found out that the skype downloaded from the market has the same problems.
When i log out of skype, i can receive the 3G calls.
I have Froyo on my Milestone. Does Skype video work with the stock app from the market? Or is there a modified apk I can use to have video calling?
~80 views and no answer?
Surely someone must know
I finally managed to get skype video calls to work!
I can now both receive and send video and make two way video calls.
I am using the modified skype version here:

Enable "use preview surface" in the tweaks menu.
My gratitude to droidrx for this great work.
Thank you so much for the tip! Working great on my phone, never knew it was possible.
Tried to run on my CM7 with android 2.3.7 and it works fine too for me.

I can see video just fine but cannot send video... Did something change since the last post?
