Anyone using Tango app to do video calls with other platforms ie Iphone4? I tried with my gf's iphone4 today, I could see her but she see's my rear camera (no pun intended), my front facing camera does not work with this app =(
ya same problem here - and oovoo and fring do the same thing. QIK seems to work with the proper camera though.
yup same here. that was the first problem i ran into with this phone. just use a mirror in front of u. will probably get fixed soon tho with either with an update or the switch to gingerbread. not sure why the app doesn't recognize that there are 2 cameras which is the reason why we don't see the switch camera toggle normally located on the top right corner. i have a feeling its not tangos fault but with lg and their half-baked software.

do you know if there is qik for iphone4?
Reason being for this is G2X came out recently and developers at Tango just recently got their hands on it. You should be expecting an update shortly on it working though.

They have a private beta available now at Tango. You can sign up here

I got my invite yesterday, and I haven't tried it out yet, but from what I've read, it looks promising. I asked Randall at Tango if I could post the private beta apk on xda, and he said no, but I can post the link to let anyone apply for the beta.

Is it just me or does the front facing camera not work with Tango?
Could it be because we're on 2.2.2?
My gf has the Samsung Vibrant 4G and she has a toggle switch from front to back. My G2X doesn't.
Anyone? ..this is driving me crazy...
MY G2x is doing the same thing
When trying to use Tango the front facing camera would not work also ....
Anyone please help......
The front camera doesn't work in Fring or Yahoo messenger either.
It seems the built in Qik program is the only one that allows for use of the front cam.
Beta fring 2.4.5.9 can work with the FFC just fine.
Download it here http://reg.fring.com/app/versions/Fring2459.apk
Note this is NOT the market version, it is a later version which is beta testing.
I can't seem to download the beta version of fring from the link above. Anywhere else I can go to download it?

Has anyone found an app that allows for video chat using the front camera?
Typed on the beautiful screen of my Samsung Droid Charge
Having the same issue, tried them all. The ones that connect won't connect the front camera. Major bummer...

I would think that will be something they would fix after people report it.

who knows when, still waiting on Tango to support the Xoom properly, and that's been out for 2 months now.

I emailed Tango support and got a response saying, "Hi Rick, Brett,
Yes our engineers are aware of the problem and investigating. Thanks for reporting."
So I wonder when the update will come?
Try bugging the fring devs -- they offered a beta for Atrix and Inspire users weeks before official app support. (And this despite the stock AT&T lockdown on sideloading!)

According to Tango's FB page: facebook . com/ TangoMe they fixed Tango for Xoom on May 12th.

Yes, they did fix the video displaying correctly but audio is not working. You can hear the person but they can't hear you.
I updated my ticket with Tango support with the new information.
UPDATE: Just heard back from Tango Support:
There is a new comment in topic Droid Charge (click to see the full comment history):
Avi said:
Hi guys,
Yes, the bug fix in the latest version was only for the sideways video and we're still working on the audio problem with the Droid Charge. We hope to release it soon and will post a notice here when we do but in the meantime one workaround is to connect a Samsung headset to the Charge. This will allow the audio to go through.
Thanks!

Is there a way to get Skype video to work on it?

Qik has to fix the camera since it uses the rear camera. At least the audio works than tango.
Gtalk Video
There is an app called vtok. Soon as the developer gets it to work on the Charge will be be nice. It uses your gtalk account to do video. So far it only works on a few devices and one is not the DC.
Maybe if enough DC users have emailed him he might make it work sooner.
Fring worked when I tried it shortly with my wife. The quality was pretty crappy, but it worked
hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?
Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.
Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?
Also, does the front facing camera work as well?
It works great. I use it a lot and never had a problem. I've never used the camera though so I can't comment on that.

Would you be able to test the FFC?
Front facing camera works fine with Skype.
only thing about skype for android is it doesn't delete your chat/call history
I noticed that Skype causes high battery drain. It's good and video calling works perfectly, however it's adviseable to shut it down when not using.
Yes, it drains a lot if there are staying as background service, the quality is acceptable of course with iPhone 4

Am I able to Skype with someone that is using an iPhone 4 while I use the Galaxy Note? Even if I want to use the FFC?
Yes you can, as the Skype supports FFC for both the devices and the quality is remarkable

I thought Skype for Android cannot be used to communicate with people using iPhone 4s. So you've tested this and it works?
i just made a video call awhile ago... No problem so far... just be sure to enable the video calling prompt showed in the first initialization....

that just sounds weird to me, but Skype is bought by Microsoft now, so anything is possible .
I tried Tango, it works with the Front cam too on both Note and S2.
After installing Skype, my phone keeps switching to Edge and had a couple of random rebooting.
Made a Skype video call from my Note to an iPod touch, Macbook Pro, and iPhone4. All working fine but noticed that the Note switches to landscape view during video calls.
Tried to find an option to make it work on portrait view. Otherwise it works great.
^^ It used to work in the portrait mode as well prior to the latest update. Now it defaults to and stays stuck on landscape. I think the app reads the Note's resolution and assumes that it's a tablet or something.

Okay. Not a deal breaker really but would still be nice to have the portrait orientation option.
Skype video on US AT&T version
Can anybody confirm that Skype video works on the AT&T LTE version?
Specifically, does the front camera work fro making a video call like the Iphone?
The skype video call works fine between iphone 4s and Galaxy note no probs at al, the network management is good and the call clarity is appreciated.
It works, but one complaint though is that the video from the other side does not scale or occupy the whole screen. Such a waste of space. I hope Skype addresses this in the next update.
skype work !!
tango work !!
google talk video chat work !!

Have never used this app, but both Skype or own phone's front face call works great.

I dont have the ability to use built in video calling on t-mobile usa network... Seems like ALL video chat apps suck on o3d.
oovoo, skype, fring, tango................ the ones that do get video from front camera are soooo zoomed in all the caller see's is my eye, unless I hold the phone as far away from my face as my arm will extend. The others usually get no front camera video, even though they are supposed to support the o3d.
no video, send or receive oovoo
I have cm7.1 on g2x. Have not figured out how to get video. I want to replace skype because picture on skype is upsidedown.
