Did u try it? I heard fring, Skype do not work on froyo.

AFAIK, Skype can't use front camera with froyo. But you can try [DEV] Skype Video for Froyo (and GB) mod that work with froyo (it said there, but I haven't tried it by myself).

No you can not use the front cam yet with Fring. Like Skype will have to wait for the 2.3 update.

I don't know yet, and I won't use it either.. because Fring doesn't have encryption.

If you have CWM instaled your front side cam will not work. It's known issue and it's connected with CWM not with talk version.
it doesnt work at all? as in not in skype or anything? because i dont have clockworkmod and my front camera works fine in skype...
My frontside cam worked fine till I instaled CWM. Now it doesn't at all (in Skype and in Talk also). It's known problem, I'm not the only one.

I don't think I was on CWM. I tried a version on which front cam worked but it was upside down. I never got it to work properly. In every variant, some or the other problem persisted.

Do you have a working microphone version?
Can you upload it?
i have installed at least 4-5 versions of gtalk av, but with no full succes. now the microphone doesn't work, else everything is almost ok. i have a gtalk version in which the both camera is working (but the front camera is upside down - i have CWM also). so anyone known a working version with mic ok?
Been waiting forever for an official gingerbread release for my P1000 (UK unlocked version) but for now Froyo works fine except that Skype can not use the front facing camera.
Is there a modified Skype apk allowing the front camera to work on this Tab P1000 running Android 2.2?
I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for this (just a shame I can't find any threads that may be addressing this issue)
Only gingerbread can do this. (>2.3.4)
Sounds like we should sue samsung for false advertising. They do say the front facing camera is 'ideal for video chat'. Just saying ...
Hello,
I have JB retail brazil installed in my phone, and have a problems with Tango calls and skype calls. When i make video calls, the front cam makes an excessive zoom and the other person can only see my eyes and my nose, i have to back up a meter so then can see my face. I see no one min this forum has the same problem as me, what can i do. I tried changing to other JB firmwares but with the European version I have the same problem with video calls and even lost my 3g network. I have changed to ICS and back to JB a lot of times. Can some one help me please??
I have the same issue
Hi, I have the same issue with videocalls on Razr i. But, when I'm using the camera software with front facing camera, the video is ok, with a good distance. I`m using the stock ROM from Motorola and the problem affects Skype and Hangouts.
Still

After some months and instaling several stock JB roms, i haven't been able to solve this. Do you have a development motorola razr i, I mean the development previous version before motorola released the final. where did you buy your phone (country)? what ROM is installed?
Same problem
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem with the same apps. I have a Razr i with original JB ROM from Motorola.
I try to find something on the web but untill now I didn't find anything to help.
I have the same problem with both Skype and Google Hangouts. I need to check out some other 3rd party camera apps to see if they have the same issue - or if it's just video.
Problems also on Tango
I've tested on Tango and it presented a "big zoom" as Skype and Hangouts.
It is a problem thats comes from the "conector" used by these apps. The stock camera doesn't show the same problem, mybe because it uses "another" way to access the camera hardware.
In order to test this, I installed Vignette and it doesn't show the problem.
So, there are at least 2 way to access the front facing camera, and the way that video chating apps uses shows the problem about de the zoomed video.
Does any one know something about a patch, an app, or did other tests to localize the origin of the issue?
Same Issue
No update to this thread? I tried a few ROMs; have the same issue as described above in Skype and Hangouts, camera app is fine, no zoom.
I had this problem and it used to happen while I was in the middle of the call. I solved it by going to /system/data/data/com.skype.../files/app.properties and changing this line [device.video.preview.zoom=true] to [device.video.preview.zoom=false] and then it stopped zooming right straight to my face

Hi all,
I'm trying to repurpose my Nexus One as a wifi security camera with ipwebcam. However, the camera seems like it won't work on any ROM I feed it. Now I read a lot on ROMs having broken camera support, but all of them?? I remember the camera was working perfectly before I started flashing it, so what are my options? I tried pretty much every rom available - CM7/10/11, Evervolv, TexasIce, HyperSense, and the camera is always crashing or non fonctionnal. The phone is rooted, blackrosed to partitions 260/8/168, and the recovery has 4ext touch with the sdcard partitioned to 4ext.
So, is there something I'm missing? I would love to create my own ROM that would ditch the calling/phone/3g features to make it more like a super ipcam - with flashlight support, wifi, bluetooth, and gps, but I don't have those skills.
Also, torch is also not working, if that can help.
Any help is appreciated!
I remember that IP Webcam worked with stock 2.3.6 for me. Now I have 4.4.4 (CM11 by parkedraccoon), I just installed it again and it still seems to work although it was just a short test.
Does the app crash instantly on startup or later on while streaming?
