I have tried Tango which is free and seems okay but I wanted to know if there are any other video calling apps? It doesn't matter if voice isn't part of it.
In regards to Tango - is the only necessary thing needed a SIM and internet connection e.g. wifi? I assumed it would use my minutes but after reading the decription I guess it doesn't. Can anyone clarify?
No, it doesn't uses up your minutes. And a sim card is not necessary, because I've seen it work on an iPod touch

My dad has the same phone as me and I want to get the most out of it.. So far we both have TIKL (a walkie talkie type of program) and tried QIK before (and hated it)
We just both tried out "FRING" and it seems to be really nice..
I just want to make sure is not going to hurt the battery..
I unchecked everything off in the settings, and only going to use it after my dad and I decide to do a video chat.
I am not looking to use it for friends and people that want to just connect with me anytime..
Im not sure how these programs work though.. I checked running services under applications and its NOT running..
But I hate bad written programs and their seems to be a good handful (like QIK)
THANKS!!
Ok I tested some things out.. I unchecked some stuff off, from the fring settings.. Tried to have my dad contact me while I was off and visa versa, we were not able to contact each other because it said we were both offline.. I hope thats a good thing. I really don't want this thing killing my battery...
There is an option to exit and when I do it seems that it really does exit from the program..
If anyone has more information on this I would love to hear it.. THANKS
To be honest I only use qik for uploading videos. For video chat I use the yahoo messenger app, you can also use that to video chat with people on the pc.

i use video chat to pc all the time. i use the stock yahoo messenger app that came with my mt4g. then when i opened it, it took me to the market to download the video app. once i did that and i signed into yahoo messenger. u instant message ur friend or whoever u wanna video chat with. once ur in the instant message hit the menu button on the mt4g, the hard button next to the home button. then it shows video chat or something like that. click it and it will send a call to ur friend and they hit accept and ur good to go. see if it works. but i had to use wifi since there is no 4g in my area and my 3g i can only get 700kbps at best which does suck.

No way to put compatible client on the PC like Yahoo Messenger and use the equivalent droid client? Does it have to be Win Live?

Android client doesn't support any form of video.
i doubt thee is yet, but I think very soon they might have one. well if yahoo has an add on, i think msn should have one as well!
yahoo doesn´t support samsung galaxy in the new version.
i was looking for so long, but i really didn´t find anything.
guess we have to wait until 2.3 will show up. heard there will be more native support for such things......
Fring says it works with msn messenger if that's the same as win live messenger

i still don't understand why google hasn't intergrated gchat video into their phones.....it works so good on my laptop
Skype is available in the "working on Skype" thread.
Just uploaded the Skype app. Once I load it to another phone I'll let you know how it works. In the meantime, I've used both Tango and fring (fring has beta code that works with the tbolt) both have worked but it can get a little sketchy on 3G
I used skype last night to talk to my nephew who also has a thunderbolt. It worked flawlessly. I did however have a crap load of contacts on my list that I didn't even know but after deleting them all it was all good.
I have the Transformer on Android 3.1 and I can not for life of me find anything that uses the webcam for video chat. Google Voice, Qik, Skype none of them either show up in the market or allow video chat...
Are there any apps that work? Why have a front facing cam if you can't video chat?
Thanks for the help!
Another issue you will likely have is the microphone is not sensitive enough for conversations.
Can you give Google Talk another look. I've been doing video chat with my brothers (just one minor issue, the built-in microphone sucks. I hope Google will add a Gain-setting). If the other party has a video capability, Talk will allow you to do video.
I just looked for google talk in the market this morning. It does not show up at all.

Gotcha... I have prime 1.5 is there a way to get it installed?
Look in your apps folder? It's on Prime.
I think you're not looking hard enough.

It's just called Talk. Some people have a hard time finding it because it's not branded with Google before it.
Talk works perfectly for text, voice and video communication. Together with Google+, there's a really awesome way to grab a few friends or co-workers and video conference on the fly.
I use fring and it worked fine

Talk is preinstalled on the TF.
If you search there's a version of Yahoo Messenger floating around that work just fine.
I have use both Talk and Yahoo IM and both work great with the built in mic
So does this work with Google+ Hangout!?
I'd like to be able to use Google+ Hangout on here... that'd be sweet.
