What would be the point with only a rear camera... you could only make ½ a video call

well.. if you want to show to a friend something..
or if a friend wants to show me something (and in that case i don't need to see him)
Knocking is just a streaming right? its means that "my friend" need to connect to the internet ..
there is no way to make a video call?
i know that in NOKIA devices when you make a video call you can choose between the front or back camera
it is very usefull and i'd like to see an app or mod for that
devs! think about it
thanks.
Of course it's streaming... how else can you send the video without internet?

Or get crafty with a small mirror.
Does anyone know how to modify the OS to report that the phones one of the very poor selection the lazy people at skype could be bothered to make it work with?
Or would it require a mod to the app itself (same question who knows how to do this?)
Thanks in advance
Maybe modifying the build.prop? Just a guess!

Yep. Can confirm. Crashes a couple of seconds after you hit Sign in.
The problem is that the contained native code .so's seem to contain NEON instructions which the Tegra 2 can't execute.

If everyone took that attitude, XDA forums and the like wouldn't exist because we'd all be sat waiting for HTC / LG / Skype etc to update software...
These forums exist because the developer community can usually make things work better than the software vendors or before the software vendors.
This has already been hacked to work on the Galaxy S and S2.......

I was wondering the same...
I don't see the "button" for video calls but, if the phone have a frontal camera it will be for that, right?
Here in "white africa", Poland (sorry to people of Africa...), I can't do video call because that technology didn't arrived here yet...
In Portugal and Italy I start to do video calls since 2003 or 2005 (now I don't remeber very well), ages ago, here I can't even change the basic settings by phone commands.
When I type *111# in the most part of the countries I have access to a few options from the network provider, here is "unknown command"...
But back to the question, how to do video calls with O4X ?
Skype. Is one of the apps u can video call with.

Skype is nice, but not all people have Skype. Is it possible to do video calls over the mobile network?
Tango, Google Talk, those are a few other apps and there are more in the app. Store if u can't find any that won't work then that is really something the phone can't change. I mean one of them should work. U also can use fring or nimbuzz. And people can easily sign up for Skype. It's free.

I'm not talking about apps!
I'm talking about a normal video call...
In other phones when I select a contact I have the options:
*Call
*Video call
**Send message
In this one only normal calls and messages...
How am I suppose to do a video call to a normal phone (that supports video calls, of course) if the person that I want to call don't have an android or iOS or Windows mobile??? Or even if it do, don't have Skype or other app for that???

I believe all android phones (probably all smartphones as well but as I don't own any others, I don't know) are incapable of video calling natively. I remember asking this question when I had my old phone (a motorola milestone) and searching the forums a while back. I doubt it will be implemented in the future but that's just me.

Being like that technology is going backwards... This is a phone and is supposed to make calls and video calls! If I want to use Skype, messenger or other, I use a computer or a pad (cause it's meant to be something between a computer and a phone), but a phone should have a phone function before any other.

It does has a phone option. And video calls are always over dedicated apps like Skype tango Google chat and so on. Just except it. That's just how it is. And I also don't see the issue that an app has to be used for it.

You don't "see the issue that an app has to be used for it"???
Or I'm dumb or the rest is much smarter than me...
How can I do a call to someone who don't have the specific app that I'm using?
How can I do a call to someone who don't even have a smartphone???
That's my issue!!!
I was looking around and its true... only with a 3rd party app... stupid android!

from skype you're able to call to any mobiles and landlines network... and sometimes it can be even cheaper
Well it is really then the other people's issue to not having an smartphone or just signing up for Skype tango Google chat and so they are all free to use. So it isn't really android or lg fault. If people don't have it then that is really there issue. I have no issues video call any of my people because pretty much everyone has a laptop or a smart phone that uses a video call app from some sort. Just except it.

Listen people...
I know that I can use a lot of apps to enter in a video chat, I'm talking about VIDEO CALL!!! Or to explain myself better, in a video phone call!!!
Am I talking chinese???
Since a lot of years ago that operators, Wind in Italy, Optimus and all others in Portugal and a lot of others in other countries offer the video call.
Just need a phone with UMTS, don't need to be a "smart" phone, and the soo much advanced android can't provide that???
Is not an issue of who don't have an android, because they have the possibility to do video call. It's mine, cause even having a f*cking expensive phone, in video calls (not video chat!!!) its useless.
I accept because I don't have other choice.
And it doesn't matter windows phone 7.5 or 8 can't iphone can't of the operating systems just do video calls without dedicated apps period. It has been like that all the time. As long as there has been phones with front camera I can't recall that they were able to just video call if u don't have a camera and dictated app. And u still can do Internet calls. Google voice is a good one.

Just to let you know that when I had my Galaxy S , I was able to make a video call . I've had no luck with my Atrix 4G, or my LG 4X. This was not using any web based utils, but just a standard call with video. I'm not sure if it's carrier dependent , but that was on O2 in the UK.

The only way I know it is that it still uses an app but it is already standard in the phone. I remember that it was called qik and that was pre installed in a few phones that allowed video call. And then tmobile usa allows calling over wifi.

For what I was able to know, android don't have that option.
Its not a problem cause I have the LG GC900, much better camera and I can do video calls like I do normal phone calls.
The difference is that I need to chose the button from the middle I select the one from the left, in contacts I can choose, voice call, send sms or video call...
Maybe one day android start to use that too.
Hi. I've had my Z for nearly a week now and it's bloody brilliant!
One question though, there's no option to make video calls even though there is a front facing camera. I've googled this issue and found nothing helpful.
Anyone know why there is no video call function and if it can be added with a replacement dialer or something????
Any help appreciated, thanks.
That I don't know. I use Google Hangout or Skype though. That works fine.

Thanks for replies. I had video call available on my last phone, Xperia Arc, although it was on a custom ROM it was still using the Sony home-screen app. Oh well, I'll find a way eventually...
Skype is great. Used with my Arc, and quality is impressive. And I used it over at&t 3G network, without a problem.
Voice quality is phenomenal!! Like being next door!! Better than using the phone as a phone.
Highly recommend Skype. Plus free Skype to Skype calls!!

Hi thintin,
Have you found a solution to your video call problem? I'm planning to buy Xperia Z, but I definitely need this feature.
I mean, video call via 3G or 4G network.
So today I have downloaded an app called CallRecorder by SKVALEX from Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5za3ZhbGV4LmNhbGxyZWNvcmRlciJd
I have tried the MOD posted in the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200008&highlight=call+recording
but I could not get it to work so I thought I would share an alternative method that worked for me.
So after downloading the app I went into preferences and tried the different settings until I found one that worked on my phone.
To get the call recording to work, go to app preferences and:
1) Under device select "Other"
2) Set Record Calls from "Standard Android Api"
3) Set Call recording format to: "WAV"
4) Go to Standard Android API preferences and in Audio source choose: "default"
and voila now you should be able to record calls on your device.
My phone is rooted but this method should work on both rooted and unrooted devices.
Does it record both sides when you use Bluetooth?

It should record everything. There are a lot of options in the app settings menu so you might have to try a different setup if the one in my post does not work for you. You can always purchase the app, try if it works in the 15 min refund period and if it doesn't just refund it back.
I personally have not tested it with bluetooth
This app needs root! Or not?

Sony has implanted a "built in" call recorder, It was desactivated but it will be available with my new rom
the OP's settings works for me but the caller's voice is much softer than mine.
Am rooted and running CM10.1 for those who are interested.
The app did ask for root permission when I used it.
Hope this helps...

This work 100% on Xperia Z, I will test and all is perfect
i thought auto call recorder was a paid for app?
Skvalex CallRecorder works perfectly on my stock phone 10.1.A.1.434. Can hear both caller and myself clearly. Somebody care to check if it works on newest firmware 10.1.1.A.1.253. (After upgrading my Razr I to JB it stoped working and no downgrade path, forcing me to by a new phone. Thus on XZ now, happy with that, but I don't want it to happen again.)
Edit: CallRecorder works perfectly on .253 Swedish ROM. I have root and the app says "granted root access" but I don't think that root access is necessary.
Works on stock, no root .253
