Hi to all, if any of u guys can check if Skype works on G2X. Thank you

I too will like to know.
Why wouldn't it work? Are you talking about video calling? The app hasn't been updated for that yet. I know that the Thunderbolt leak that came out has a version that includes the video chat option. You could find that leaked file and pull the skype app out of it.

Yes, Skype works. It works over Wifi and over 3G on the G2X. Get the new version that released on the Market today.
But not with video. On Skype's site, the G2X is not "officially" supported.

Hi,
I've read a lot of threads, but no luck and no info about it.
IS it possible to have the SGS phone interface (GSM or 3G) Video Call for our Nexus S??
I'm not interested on Gtalk Video Call... I want 3G Video Call
Best Regards,
R
simply no
i personally asked this question before, it's supposedly not doable without the TW framework from SGS i9000
Tango works pretty good and will use the front facing cam.
Hi,
Thanks for your answers.
I know Tango, but it's only for Wifi or data, and i have free 3g videocalls.
I user fring on Wifi, but the videocalls on gsm/3g it was what i want.

OoVoo in the market. Its free. I just downloaded and used it. My friend only had a rear facing cam, so I only saw what was on that cam, but he said my pic was clear.
It used 3g, I have my wifi off.

3g = Internet like Wifi... I mean GSM video calls
I have free videocalls but i don't have free internet.

This isn't what we are asking on this thread.
Still no info... Hardware isn't the same? What do we need? Kernel Mod's for this?
Hi, I just got my ota update to 2.3.4 and Irena seems that I can only use video over wifi. I only tried phone to PC and got a pop up that I can only video char over wifi. I thought this was supposed to be over 3g as well , can anyone confirm please.?

If you are referring to Google Talk, then unfortunately on T-Mobile video over 3G is not supported. Only WiFi.
The updated added support for video chat over 3g/4g as well, but T-Mobile has chosen to not allow it.
You need to mod your gservices.db... on TMO over 3g works like a charm

Care to explain or give us link to the info? Thanks.

thanks, but it seems odd that t-mobile would disable it as they don't have a problem with myTouch 3/4G video calling over 3/4G. I'll call them up and see where that takes me. thanks!

T-Mobile confirmed that they restrict google talk video chat. I am guessing the only option is rooting my Nexus s then...
I really hoped that with Nexus s I would not have to root because this is supposed to be pure android experience, but I guess that the pure android experience is a BIG FAT LIE!
Can someone put up a working link of Skype with video calls for the Evo 4G please... I'm a big skype user and need video on my evo 4G

You want skype with video just downloaded from the android market

The skype on the android market doesn't appear to let video chat work. I can get video chat working on my Evo 3D but on the 4G it just doesn't show that option anywhere.
Is a special APK required? It says on there Evo 4g supported, yet it doesn't allow it.
This evo is completely stock.

Market version should work; it works for me. You should see a video icon.

Yeah it's there on the Evo 3D but not the 4G. Anyways I used a hacked apk and it seems to have worked.

When I installed from the market, Skype freezes when I do the following:
sign in
click contacts
click back
click menu
choose sign out
...but when I installed the apk I got from the forum, I can perform the steps above repeatedly and it doesn't lock up... It's weird

Has anyone who updated their phone to 2.3.3 tried installing the APK in which one can video chat? I can do it on the Sensation and on the Samsung Exhibit and I am wondering if you guys have tried with any success on the G2x? Thanks!
I tried OovoO and it worked maybe skype should too.
I remember oovoo wasnt working on g2x

No official skype app that is working. Hacked app, maybe. Oovoo has been working with froyo and the v21e update. Also, build.prop hack works.

Tried the hacked Skype App with video and it closes on me just before logging me in. It doesn't work for some reason. Oovoo works fine, but it worked on the Froyo as well.
Has anyone managed to make Skype video work on the new Gingerbread build?

I am on 2.3.3 latest 'official' build as released by LG the other day. The hacked Skype loads and installs ok, and works ok once you don't try to set it up to use video. Once you do, it just keeps closing.
I would LOVE to have the Skype video working, as I use it often. The only other issue that I have with Skype is that even with synch turned off, it keeps loading itself and connecting. WHY? Grrrr.... can anyone give me a setting to stop this?
In GB 2.3.3 of course!

You might want to try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wetcarrot.stopskype
I have the same issue and even if you force stop Skype, still restart itself. They need to fix that! I would suggest sending an e-mail to developers.
Skype video doesn't work for me either:-(

Neither are officially supported yet, does anyone have a hack apk?
Would be nice to see the old man when i am overseas.
Thanks!
you may try this(works on gingerbread):

plz note i have not personally tested this
I tried the Skype version linked above and on wifi, it worked great. Haven't tried it yet on 3G.
Have not tried Google
Skype work great for chat/calls, but video chat uses only the back camera for now till GB is out
If your going from mobile to mobile use Tango, it works flawlessly, and works with both cameras
Also qik video didn't fail me either

Skype works great on both cameras. Video chat with the link above

G talk works but the front facing camera sends your video feed horizontal when our should be verticle.
Qik seems to work the best for me although the speaker volume is low. I use my ear buds and the volume is usable.

Once GTG recovers from burnout, his Rogers-based GB ROM (which runs on AT&T phones) should become available again.
