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.......

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
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.
Sorry but almost all android phones doesn't have video call over mobile network

AW: [Q] Video calling
I Used gtalk a few times, worked good, but troubles if both are speaking simultanuously. Didn't try hangout yet

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!!

Not possible, only using third-party apps (Skype, Google Talk, ...).
Video calling rumoured for key lime pie

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.
Hello everybody,
This is my first post on this forum, although I have been an avid reader for almost a year. I got the courage to register and post because right now I'm really interested in buying a HTC One.
My question to those who already have the One is: Can you record a voice call (phone call) on the One? (with the stock rom).
I know last years' One X couldn't record calls.
(I sure hope I didn't break the forum rules and that this question has already been posted and answered. That Youtube video for those who registered was frightening [haha ]. I swear I've searched the forum).
i am also curious about this. i use call recorder by skvalex and want to know if BT headset call recording (2 way) is supported on the HTC one. can someone who has an htc one please download the call recorder app by skvalex from google play and try it out?
You'll need to use an app for this. I doubt any major Android phone (or any phone) will offer this as a direct feature simply because of the legality.
Most places have laws against recording a phone call without first requesting permission from the other person on the line. It's quite messy.

Yes and the post above yours says which app to try.
(Actually skvalex has posted an apk of the beta version here on XDA that works for a few days if you want to try it out for free)
The question is not whether there are apps, but rather does the stock *kernel* enable the apps to function as intended?
Historically, stock HTC kernels do not, but it is easy for devs to enable the feature in custom built ones.

My answer is the same, they don't have any reason to because it's often illegal.
incall recorder is what want its from xda but you get it on google play the best one by far
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

Thanks )
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.
