When I use Fring can't find the way to activate the FFC. Only the rear camera shows. Anyone have the same problem? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure apps have to be updated to support the FFC. I could be wrong.
I'm almost positive that you have to change which camera you're using in the settings on fring.

Just checked no settings for that. Checked while I was in a video chat also. No option.
Try Tango. Works great. My video chat of choice. I don't have anyone on fringe except my boss and its a little late to bug him. Lol

Confirmed. I just got a G2 and MyTouch 4G for my wife and here's what I got:
- Qik: wouldn't let me start a video chat with G2. G2 qik app didn't have an option to start a video call either.
- Fring: Only used the rear camera on MyTouch 4g during the video call. I suspect this will be fixed soon. The quality was pretty bad, however.
- Tango: worked like a charm. Rear camera on G2 and front or rear camera on MT4G. I love how it lets you quickly switch between video/voice/camera options. The quality of video was very snappy. I did WiFi on MT4G to HSPA+ on G2 at first, and then did WiFi to WiFi and even though WiFi on both ends was smoother the HSPA+ was still very impressive.

So you know our phones comes with Qik Video Chat. Has anyone used this app? I don't have any friends that have it so I don't know if the picture is in the correct orientation.
Has anyone used other apps like Tango? I tried using Tango with my brother and the orientation is wrong at his end.
So my main question is for those that are using Qik Video Chat. Is the orientation correct on the receiving party's end or is it wrong like with Tango that I'm experiencing with other people?
UNRELEASED UPDATE FOR QIK HERE!!!X.
Yes my wife and I used Qik and it look good, just a little laggy.
Qik
I have not been able to use mine yet. i dont have any friends who have a front faceing camera yet. So right now its a waste of space for me. My girlfriend has a fasinate and she thought, and was told it had a front cam on it but we found out it did not....

I've used Qik - its clear and it does lag. The only thing Im not too happy about is when using any other app such as Tango or Fring u can not utilize the face front camera. Use have to use the camera on the back which sucks. If I had to do that I would've kept my Vibrant. I was told that there may be an update coming out to correct that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Tango is ok but if I had to choose I would use qik or fring.

What sucks is that you still have to use the rear camera. It won't let you use the face front. I don't want to have to turn my phone around so the other person can see me.....I hope they come out with a update for it. If not Im going to have to get rid of this....I already rooted it and unlocked it....

Update your tango app -- then click the icon at the top right hand corner of your screen and it will rotate from Front to Back
i cant use the camera with skype. i can only in the qik video chat
QIK Force close
anybody experiencing a Force Close on QIK software? I have removed some bloats and integrated the QIK update to the ROM via Titanium back up.

Could you maybe post that apk here? Just back it up with Titanium Backup then upload the apk.
ooVoo, is the best as far as I am concerned. I video chat for hours, and have used Tango, ooVoo, and qik. ooVoo has the best audio quality, video is good also. Tango, has good video quality audio is not so good. And qik. ok. oovoo is the best, you can chat phone to phone and phone to pc.
Qik won't let me switch to the front camera. It says switched to front, but it's not.

For those of you having issues with front camera not working after the update. I uploaded the unreleased update from qik in the OP
From the looks of it its a software based problem. Looks like were gonna have to wait till they update it to support whichever camera is in the front (hardware wise)
I used tango yesterday and it worked fine

We are aware of the front facing camera issue on the G2X. We just received our G2X in to the office yesterday and will start performing tests on it as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we will be able to fix the issue soon!
It's a new phone, wait for an update. This is common with new Android phones.

Ffc didn't work on tango for my g2x only showed back camera. But when I use qik it kept force closing everytime I would answer a call. Qik works on my Mytouch 4g fine but on tango the ffc view would transmit it upside down to my g2x when I did a video chat Test.

Tango's front cam doesnt work properly, it shows it sideways and zoomed.
I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.
"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:
- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that
- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.

if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.
Use Qik Video Connect.
So Qik is the only option? Does that work for video chat to a computer or iphone?

I wish that was in English, I'm pretty sure there was something important in it somewhere.
Just tested Qik. Called my friend who was using an Atrix 4g. The call was great. It used the right camera on the Infuse 4g. Love the app now.
Im basically the odd one out in family using non iphone4. They using fring flawlessly but i just cant get the feont cam to work, otherwise the sound and back camera is great quality. Just d/loaded qip and hope it'll work.

Thanks mate! I thought that the function is integrated within HTC dialer.
It would be nice to see a way to make regular 3G video calls. I mean these video calls every non-smartphone device with a front camera can do over 3G. The only known android phone that implements this is the Galaxy S.
Yes, that would actually be great. Is there a way of making regular 3G video calls?

As stated above, Skype does not support video calls for mobile yet. I heard they are working on it, but who knows how long it will take with Microsoft taking over. It'll show up on WP7 before we see it at this point.

If you go to Skype's website it says that mobile video calling will be available for Verizon's LTE 4g network soon. I hope it's not exclusive just to Verizon users.
