Qik now supports 2way call for non-FFC devices - Android Apps and Games

Hello, I just want to let everyone know that you can now use Qik to video chat even if you have no Front Facing Cam. Quality was good between My T-Mo N1 and a Sprint Evo4G.
This came with the update from today.

At & T Video sharing

Is there any way to do international live video sharing or video calling ( I know video calling never going be happen ) Using AT& T 3G
it seem to work many places though
apart from the build in network support there dont seem to be any
other options apart from ms portrait which dont seem to work with any front cams
it's been working where i live for a few years now though very very few people really use it
I have an 8502 which supports video calling and when ever im in a 3g area, it will allow me to start a video call but the other party must have the option and also be in a 3g area to work I guess..? Problem is, I dont know anyone that owns a phone with video calling in the US. ow, its at&t too.

I have tytn II which supports video calling but, Even thought I have tytn I cant do video calling because at & t only offer live video sharing (One way video calling). Actually somebody having a phone which supports video calling in the US is useless. I don't know why USA is so behind 3g on GSM they are talking about 4G but still they haven't completed 3g yet.
So, Raspster it is not about the phone it is all about network. What I mean is according my knowledge somebody who has a phone which enables video calling that phone still can't do video calling in us because they don't offer the service( plz correct me am I wrong)

[Q] NATIVE 3G Video Call (Like Galaxy S)

How do we get native 3G video calling from our nexus s. My carrier is giving me (almost) free 3g video calling. And this is not like Fring/Tango. its over the UMTS network. My old nokia could do it. the Galaxy S can , So why cant the Nexus.
ROM Devs out there. PLEASE make this happen.
Thanks a Ton.

Didn't you read what the OP said? He has free/cheap 3G video calls. I do find it a real pity that you can't do 3G video calls with NS. I remember 3G video calls was one of the most hyped feature when 3G network was first introduced years ago. Many 3G phones with a FFC could make 3G video calls, it would be nice if you can make 3G video calls using NS to those 3G dumb (non-smart) phones.
True "3G video calling" isn't supported on Nexus S.... or any primarily US released phone.

i know it's not supported but as in Samsung galaxy S do, it must have a way to make it works, maybe changing ROM or something.
anyone?
BTW: the Google talk is very under quality, there are annoying "interference".

Man, people bringing old threads back.
Nexus S will do Fring/Tango just fine over '3G'.
The thread is specifically native 3G video calling. This feature is more popular/in use in Europe and Asian countries. That's why the real original Galaxy S supports this feature.
And No, the Nexus S does not. You will need to use an app like Fring/Tango/Qik/GoogleTalk to do Video Chat
my ns does 3g video calling through gtalk. tmobile disabled the 3g video calling feature so that only wifi video calling through gtalk only worked. but its really easy to re-enable the 3g video calling feature. and it works great(probably because of 6mbps+ data speeds over the tmo network in nyc).

Hi, a sales guy from HTC told me that native 3G video call need to be supported through hardware chip, and hardware in Iphone4 and HTC phones is not support for that although they come with front camera. The guy even told me honestly that only Samsung phone with front camera is supported in hardware level.
Not sure why Nexus S which made by Samsung is not supported.

as someone pointed out, the nexus s supports video calling through the native gtalk app. also, tango and fring support the ns. additionally, skype free video calling now supports the nexus s too.
might get an answer
even i am looking for the same thing native video calling as in INDIA its new thing and cheap too....
In India there are hardly people using Skype,tango etc...
i was going through XDA forum and i got this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962&page=2
this might get the answer
I completely don't understand anything mentioned on this link but yes it clearly says activating SIP for ANdroid on SGS 2.
PS: I am noob if this is a solutions for samsung phone please update me about it as i have samsung Infuse 4G!
Native Video calling
Dear all,
I was trying to find the correct answer for the native video calling. I came across a really high tech thing for which we need a programmer and a 3G communication expert.
It goes like this.... There is a protocol which helps to communicate with the FFC and is based on the FRAMEWORK of the phone. In the framework you need to alot a space for 3G 324M protocol and the 3G expert will help the programmer to do so ........so that the voice call is integrated with the video in real time and with no lag!!
It's tough to do but do we have someone here who can do that in XDA DEVELOPER's?? or people are happy with the custom rom and Skype,oovoo etc??
Google talk......

Have you read from the start !!!!! stop with your gtalk !! we all want native 3G !!!

It's not nonoheran fault..............google when launched gtalk app they mentioned it's a NATIVE VIDEO CALLING (through Gtalk).
he is confused.
but still not getting the answer ........ spoke to few people around the globe they say it's a tough job to do as they have to inegrate 3G 324M (video data calling)with H.263 (voice calling) in the framework.
for that we need java developer and 3G expert to work together.
hard to find above combination and even if you find they will not waste there time for us as every phone have different framework)
I am using samsung infuse 4g but thought would share my knowledge with you all so that if you people know someone like this (JAVA + 3G expert) you can get hold of him/her and get the things done!!

Google Video Chat on 3g i9020a?

I updated to 2.3.4 on my i9020a Nexus S. My buddy tried to gtalk video chat with me and it says:
'tried to start a video chat with you while you weren't connected to WI-FI.'
Do I HAVE to be connected to WI-FI for video chat to work? I thought Video chat works over 3g?

By default your carrier has to allow it. However, there is a simple workaround for that if you are rooted.

Well I'm on AT&T using the Nexus S. To my knowledge, AT&T doesn't officially support this phone so I'm not sure what they do.

I'm guessing it's a default deny unless authorized by the carrier. If you can't connect via 3G just edit the gservices.db as described above and it should work fine.
seems like it. I edited the file and it works now. Thanks!
FYI: I did it over Sprint's 3G the other day and the quality was good enough.
mine works out of the box, tried it yesterday from car for half an hour video chating with my wife, quality was pretty good A/V.

Doesn't work between carriers.

Current Video Call restrictions
At this time Video Call is only available between AT&T customers using Video Call capable devices within AT&T HD Voice coverage areas.

That depends on whether all the carriers can agree on what version of the RCS protocol to use.
AT&T is still using a pre-universal profile version of the RCS protocol.
AT&T is backing the newer universal profile version of RCS, but hasn't implemented it yet.
It would explain why they restrict their current version (Advanced Messaging and Video Call) to only work within their own network.
Does the quality of AT&T video call match that of Google duo, hangouts, Facebook, or skype?

Never been able to use it, so I can't say.
Requires two AT&T customers with video capable phones (iPhones don't work as they don't support RCS at all).
My wife and daughter have iPhones, so we use Duo, which works great.
Not a fan of Skype and Facebook (which uses Skype on the back end). Crappy video compression when using cellular data.

i personally think that video on AT&T have better quality then Facebook, Skype or Hangouts. I did not try Google Duo.
Will rooting my phone allow video calls to other networks?
Just use Duo way better than stock video call app

No.
Each carrier controls those services.
Stick with an app. I happen like Duo. Works great over mobile.

Thing is I'm in Ghana atm. I'm on a plan where I can get free calls to other users over normal calls and same with video call without internet. Saves me data. Tried duo but horrible internet network doesn't help. Video calling Works fine with my note 3 but note 8 doesn't work. That's why I'm wondering if there's a way around this and if not can rooting solve the video calling feature?
Being Ghanian myself, i would say use What'sApp.
