Hey there,
Just wondering what apps works with the front facing camera - I know that Skype for android currently does not support video calling.
Is there alternative app/programs that does support video calling via the front facing camera?
I heard something about 'Quik' or something, but are these programs compatible with say my Skype contact list?
Help would be much appreciated.
I am using oovoo, the only app that doesn't stutter on 3g.
You may also try tango, qik, and the google talk app. I haven't had much luck with those as they all shuttered pretty badly for me.
If you check out the themes and apps section you can find the version of skype that has video chat.

That's the best news I've heard all day! YUSS! video chat via skype here i come...
you wouldn't know whether it is smooth via WIFI would u? Nobody has really commented about it in the threads.
From my experience, wifi-to-wifi is quite good. If it's 3G you are after, then prepare for some stuttering...
Enjoy

So, I 'm looking for a video chat app that works with the Xoom and is cross-platform.
I was able to download Fring, but it FC's. Anyone got anything?
Try tango, it works for me, u can make video calls but not receive.

I use google talk. Granted the other person has to have google talk also.. but I have used it without any issues.

That's kind of the point I want FULL functionality.
I hope that's not it because that'd be sad. Any word on when Google Talk's capabilities will be ported to *all* Google Talk capable devices?
I read that Fring should have a tablet optimized app for honeycomb soon.
Tango is kinda squirrely.... it doesn't seem to want to switch between landscape and portrait like it should
Does anyone have a working version of skype.apk they can post here?
Btw, i have Android 2.2 on SGT from T-mobile.
Sorry for posting in wrong category.
What's wrong with the market build?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA Premium App
Are you using it? And is it version 1.0.0.983 like on the market? ppl say that video calls are not working.
Does anyone here have a fixed apk?
Does the Galaxy come with a version of Swype preinstalled??
If not then it would be considered as warez and therefore should not be posted here.
Skype. & not swype
Still Skype can be found at the market. & is working

In some countries people cannot find Skype on the Market. I'm not 100% sure but there are probably limitations... Anyway, it is easy to workaround them using MarketEnabler.

Thanks solo13. I tried and it complains "skype can not determine your phone number and will now exit."
Wait. Do I have to pre-register my tab's phone number using another skype client or their website?

will this version is sama as the market version? cus when i using my existing skype, the front camera will be freeze after a few second ... was this is because of skype compatibility issue or the Gtab software issue ? appreciate someone can help ... thanks.
Skype doesnt support video on the Galaxy tab because they claim Froyo doesnt give access to the front camera. This is BS though, because there are many other apps that do.
Try Clearsea. Works great and there is a PC client too.

I totally agree with you. A hacked version of skype works well with FFC though rotation still needs to be worked on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
Does Skype work with the front facing camera for video chat? I'm thinking of getting the D3, but have heard mixed responses as to whether skype works...
There's no video option on my installed Skype app. Disappointed.

Theres many options besides skype.
Do tell.
How can my wife and I (both new D3 owner's) video chat with each other?
Thanks

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.
still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!
Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

i have found yahoo messager to be my choice for video chat.
@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

Same Problem here
I'm having the same problem here. I am able to see the user on the computer, but they're not able to see me. I performed several re installations and cleared the cache multiple times, is there something I am missing here? Not quite sure how it is working for some and not others.

Skypes ok, google talk with video works better for me.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App
waht differences do you notice with them ?
Are you asking the difference between Gtalk + video and Skype + video? Or the difference between the verizon Skype vs. market Skype?
The main notice between market Skype and verizon Skype for me was that I couldn't uninstall the latter. I've read a few threads that mention market Skype takes up less memory while running but I think the measurements are marginal at best.
Gtalk + video is just win anyway, the only downfall I see is that Skype has a larger user base.
Gtalk and skype. Skype is crystal clear and good audio so im not sure what advatages gtalk has

Hi All,
Im trying to video calls on my xperia z but not found...
Please help me for this thread..
Do you have tried?
Tried Skype?
As far as I know.. The XZ don't have its own video call function. Like on the SG3. But still, I used Skype. Main reason is that it used mobile data, even if I was on WiFi. Also the mobile data did not affect my monthly plan, it just raised my bill.... Go for Skype or other app from googly play

At work we use Google Hangout. It proved more reliable than Skype. But YMMV.

Really? Yeah, I have noticed that Skype is not that reliable... Getting disconnected, volume suddenly fades away etc..
Reason I use skype is that most of my friends are using it aswell...

We use it for video conference calling. Every project member has a Google+ account. Invitations are send and it works. Well, most of the time

I see! Maybe this will work better when group studying, without a member just keep falling out.

Now the OP has two options. Google + hangout and skype ;p

Make that three, Google Talk (and there is a iPhone client for videochatting over GTalk too, I forgot it's name, but it was pretty sucky.)

+1 for hangout using the talk app on the xz. its been the most reliable video chat program for me.
Well, does anyone even tried (custom ROM, maybe?) to make video calling function work? Besides third party apps like Skype or Hangouts? I'd just want to call my GF or dad when they aren't available on those IMs.
