What's the difference between this and Skype? I've made alot of videocalls on Skype and at least I can call friends on PC. What's the benefit of having Fringe installed? It's something like Whatsapp but for video calls as I see.
I understood that OP wants to make a 3G Video call...not a video call through whatever data connection it's active on the phone(including 3G). From my understanding that is a video call service that's depending on the operator. Vodafone is offering that in RO, I belive it's available for other countries/operators as well. And that means you can video call someone by his phone number
The service is described better HERE

Exactly rapier......
I meant the video calls through mobile network..... Not through internet....... Evn many java phones does this...... Y cant our much much advanced smart phones do this....??

I find gtalk smooth.
Think you can install gtalk with videocalls for desire s if you're rooted

Other option is if you both have the viber app
Plus Skype and fring as others have mentioned

I am in the same situation... I want to use this service too, but I started to think that is impossible with android phone. I had three phones with Android so far, but none of them have this option.....

As I saw, phones with 3G video call have a dedicated buton for this. This is not the case with our Android phones.
I called my operator now (Vodafone) and I got the confirmation. Android phones are not compatible with this service. Only phones that have a dedicated video call buton and are listed on the operator's compatibility list can use this service

Can some1 develop sumthing like this?????

3G native calling is not supported by Android. Only Samsung and LG android phones support it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I was searching for this some time too. Unfortunately only apps like Skype or Fring are making this possible on my Desire S, but the client has to be installed on the other person phone too and this is a bit limiting. This is my only dissapointment of Android so far but I am finding it strange to have this service natively supported on my 2008' Nokia but not on my 2011' smartphone.
I truly hope that someday someone will suddenly share a nice way do make videocalls through the mobile network with Desire S

Tango is a very good video call app

olyloh6696, you just opened this thread. Could it be exactly what the OP here wanted? I just recall, when I was using Edymion ROM, that I had that video camera buton but never tried to use it. It could be the equivalent of the hardware "video call" buton on some phones for making 3G calls. Someone with sense rom could eventually try it

I have it on Virtuous too. But how can we add recipients there?

You shouldn't add recipients...sorry cause I don't have the ROM installed to try, but I suppose that button works identical with the normal "call" button, just that it is a video call instead. The person you are calling should support the video calling feature and have the service active from the operator in order for it to work. The way it should be used is by selecting a person from your contacts, then call using that video buton instead of the normal call button

Ah thanks! That clears it up! Cheers

Thanks guys i can call on sgs2 but cant from skyrocket from contacts whats the wrong with original samsung video chat on skyrocket?? i want call samsung to samsung face to face not on skype or somthing else .. .any idea?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

The only "original" Skyrocket video chat I can see is Google Talk. By default video chat only available via WiFi connection, for 3G/4G video you'll need root and manually edit some database entry:

Tango works just fine on unrooted devices over 3G or LTE. I use it all the time with my kids.

[Q] Orginal headphones sound quality.

I got my NS on December and I am extremely happy with it, though I face a problem when it comes to talking to someone through the original headset. According to them, they can hear all the background noises WAY louder than they are supposed to and they cannot hear my voice! This is clearly a headset problem since I get no such complaints when I am using the phone's microphone and although I can accept that there will be some extra bg noise when talking through the headset I find it hard to believe that I would deafen them by the use of my hands free.
Does anyone face the same problem? Does someone have to propose another kind/3rd party headset that would work better or perhaps some sort of a software tweak that elludes me...
Running ICS 4.0.4 stock unrooted.
Thank you in advance.

Was having problems with my head phones too. I bought new Samsung head phones and everything is perfect now so I'll suggest u try getting a new set.

You need to get a different phone. The geniuses that built our phone, decided to block that feature on a hardware level.

When you say hardware level, do mean firmware? or do you mean the audio chip itself is completely incapable of recording during a call. Surely there must be a way to trick the system into recording a call?

[Q] Make video call

How can I make video calls? I don't see any options in the dialer app. I am using stock 4.4.4

Hangouts, tango, Skype. There is no option in the stock dialer app for video calls.

I think the standard video calls fell out of favour several years ago so some don't bother adding it as a feature

So there aren't any way to video call a phone number at the moment. I just asked because one of my friend misses this feature.

I'm not aware but if the networks still support it, perhaps 3rd party apps will be able to help?

The network supports it. Me and my friend haven't find any 3rd party dialer app or anyithing. It is a pretty useless feture for me, because video call price is high, but for my friend in the country where he lives the price of the video call is the same as the normal call.
I read it somewhere that video call is not supported at all in the USA through carrier networks. I think that could be the reasone why it is missing. D820 and D821 share the exact same software.

I think its missing because no one really uses it. About 10 years ago, it was popular for about year but after that no one used it really as its pretty pointless. Particularly now we have better data infrastructures and people can use their allowance
