Hi,
I am curious as to which app is the best that is like Apple's FaceTime on Android?, also, is this app on iPad as my mum has an iPad 2 and I am buying 2 maybe 3 of the Ainol Novo 7 Fire's for family members for Christmas, and myself I have a Galaxy Note, would be good to know of an app that has video calling and IM built in, but at the same time is free (or a low cost) and displays your video in the corner as well as theres on full screen.
I am fairly new to all this Android stuff and am keen to learn about new apps and the such.
Thanks,
Martin

How about using Google Hangout.. a feature now included in Google Plus and also the Gtalk messenger if am not wrong.
Fring also works well
Cheers!
Skype also works, this is what I'm using mostly.
Problem with Skype is you cannot see yourself as well as the other person like you can in Face time, Google Talk and Tango.

Whats the best video messaging app. Right now Im using Tango to video chat off a Galaxy Tab and Thunderbolt. But its got some bugs.. Its really staticy. Does anyone recommend another video app. I got the tab last week and gave it to my girlfriend so we can chat while shes away on business, she's in new york while im in chicago but we can only see eachother for about 15 mins then we gotta talk off the phone cuz there is so much static, and delay.
Im hoping someone has an ace up their sleeve because that would be awesome
I used Tango last night, but the guy I was testing wiyh said my image was maginified way too much. All he could see was my eye and nose.
Try oovoo. It's working good for me over wifi.

Ive heard that from a few people. I use the thunderbolt and i haven't had that issue, luckily.
I'm using vtok as well it works over google talk an works from tab to pc/mac
I'd tested tango and oovoo.
Both dont work fully with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
The video of the frontcam is 90 degrees turned.
The video and audio quality is better with oovoo.
The audio quality with tango is terrible.
The only one working with froyo is skype together with qik which is from skype.
Together working without problems and with good video

alot of people like to knock it but I've tried many different video messaging apps, but I still find the Qik video app the better of all the ones ive tried. Also tried yahoo messenger video chat, works ok but I dont use yahoo enough to use it.
Im gonna give a shot to vtok, are there any other solutions for tab to pc/mac? I really need this to talk to my family in mexico, none of my family relatives has data plan in their phones is just way too expensive and slow unlike the U.S.

I like oovoo. It works well for me.
IMHO Skype dropped the ball big-time by not including video (& sms) for android. I'm using ooVoo. I'm pretty sure it's the only app that allows video calling from android to PC. When it works, it works great - even on 3G. But it has been giving problems these last few days. However, the support that I've received from them has been good. They haven't figured out what the problem is yet, they're looking into out & their responses have been quick.

I did a search and foumd nothing for the D3, so can someone recommend a good video chat app? I tried Qik Video but it kept FC, and I would like a recommendation. Thanks!

VTok allows you to video chat through Google Talk. Fring works for the Droid 3 as well.
My wife and I use Tango between her iPhone 4 and my Droid 3. Quality is mediocre, but it works.

I got tango. It works, but as you said the quality is a little lacking. No worries, though. I really only need it when my husband is out of town. Thanks!

Fring seems to be the best one so far for me. 3g is medicore at best, but works slightly better on wifi
video chat with paltalk mobile
You can try paltalk mobile. visit paltalk.com from your mobile browser and it should direct you to the android download page, or you can get it from the android market by searching for paltalk.
DISCLAIMER: I work for them so please don't get mad, the video is a subscription service, although we are adding 'super IM' soon wihch will allow for up to 10 users in your video chat for free. The subscription service is for the open chat rooms and costs 60 bucks a year.
We are in testing now so it may be a bit buggy, but it does allow for multiple videos at once in open groups. Stay tuned for the super IM release which as I said earlier will have free video for private conversations.
Warning! - paltalk does have 'adult' activity in some chat rooms so this is not an app for kids or anyone under the age of 18. It's not a smut site, but there is an adult category (one of many many categories)
I have a droid 3 and on my 3g connection the video is FAST!
To be honest this app was developed for our current users and subscribers, but if you are seeking a pretty amazing video chat app that is still a bit early in development you may want to give it a try.
You do NOT have to pay anything if you don't want to.
So I'm curious what others have found to be the best office type app out there that works on the N7 here?
I bought Docs 2 Go back when it first came out and I was lucky enough to catch the Amazon FAOTD when they gave away pretty much every big office app; Docs2Go, QuickOffice Pro, QuickOffice Pro HD for Honeycomb (not sure this would even load), and OfficeSuite Professional 6.
They all seem to have good and bad, but I'm wondering if others out there have more experience, different opinions, etc.

I have been VERY happy with Kingsoft Office.
It is in the Play Store for free. It integrates with Dropbox, box.net, and Google Drive. Nice, smooth UI. I've used it on several devices and like it more than the other options out there.

I like OfficeSuite Pro. It was the App of the Day with Amazon a few months back and does a good job. Otherwise I try to stick with Google Docs/Drive.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I went with Quickoffice Pro HD. Seems pretty good so far!
Actual QuickOffice Pro HD? I purchased it previously for another tab but it tells me now it is incompatible with the Nexus 7. What am I missing? Good Play Store shows regular QuickOffice Pro available but that is all.

I got it as a FAOTD from Amazon and it actually says "QuickOffice Pro HD (for Honeycomb tablets)" and seems to work fine.
Best is onlive. Pay to get the free virtual machine setup with win7 and office. Use your tab just like it was running office 2010 native.

So the Galaxy Note 10.1 is out I am wondering if our phone/phobet/phablet will ever receive (probably by the hands of XDA Developers) the multiscreen function.
We have the same screen resolution and despite processor and RAM, the same specs.... would make our note the best pocket device ever.
I am crossing fingers to anyone make a port of the tab rom to our device!!!

Does the 10.1 have multi screen support?

Yes, it's not for all the apps, but you can see on many videos online that the tab let's you use S-Note, Browser, Galery, Office in a split screen (only 2 apps) even making a fantastic copy and paste with the pen.
It's pretty amazing!
Just want to make a list of apps everyone is using with their gear. I just got a gear a week ago and i'm having a problem finding apps that work well the the screen size and function.
It would be nice to have a list all in one spot =).

Hi monadzback, did you get an solution for installing youtube on your Gear ? Thanks
Edit: OK, I had installed Youtube apk 5.5.27 (did not work, keeping complaining about Google Play Services version). So I looked for older youtube apks and was successfull with 4.0.8E.
What about 3rd party Youtube players like Viral?
Thanks. I did not know about viral.
