Question: Does tango video chat work? Or even fring video chat?? Qik sucks... and to think skype bought them. Good luck skype.
not work with the front camera. and un-able to switch.
super slow!( in same city)
Market comments for Tango suggest that they will release an update for g2x support. As it is, everything works except initiating the forward facing camera, lol.

Hope the update comes out soon...

It works to record and send video mail. Unfortunately, the only person I know who has a front-facing video camera that I would want to video chat with is on an iPhone 4, and the Qik software on iPhone and Android are mutually incompatible at the moment. They say they are working on a fix, expected sometime "around the middle of April" (which, in case anyone hasn't looked at a calendar in a while, has come and gone). Oh, well, I'm sure it will be RSN...
I've tested qik with another fellow g2x user not bad, but1.3 mega pixel sucks

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you all know that Tango is aware of the front facing camera issues on the G2x. Our engineers are investigating the issue and we hope to release a fix for this soon. We have not forgot about you guys
Stay tuned!
Ive tried fringe with no luck, even tried yahoo video with same results. Only app I know of right now that supports g2x front facing cam is qwik. Its not a bad software just not particulary great.

iirc the only apps at the moment are Tango and Qik for video chatting.
Last time i tried Tango the rotation of the camera was off, and they were working on it. not sure if it's fixed yet.
i tried oovoo, but it said my phone wasn't supported.

Taking pictures with the FFC with the stock camera app is the only thing freezing the phones with the voodoo lagfix. People have been doing video calls and using other camera apps with the FFC with no problems.
Guys, I really want to use the video call feature in gtalk or skype but neither works on our phones. Has anyone managed to make either work?
I am running xboarder56's latest gingerbread OTA Rom 1.2.1.
Thanks in advance.

You have to be running a 2.3.4+ rom for gtalk. Not sure about skype.
I'm using cm7 and gtalk video chat works, little buggy, but it works.

It works on 2.3.3 update. Though, uses back cam instead of ffc. Vtok works well and uses ffc with switch bfc and ffc toggle.
Skype video don't work or maybe not yet.
OP, try searching first before posting a redundant topic.

I didn't know it worked at all on 2.3.3, good to know. It fully functions on cm though. Also oovoo works on everything, but the camera ends up sideways.

ive noticed that if u turn off auto-rotate screen in settings then u can turn phone to landscape in Oovoo and u will see them sideways but they will see u rightside up. So inconvience is on u and not them in that case heh

what apps are you all using for google voice? by default i do not have this. Thanks.
So Skype released a new update for a lot ore phones, the Thunderbolt is finally included in the video calling list. YAY, right?
Well if you read the description you find this: "On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera."
So you can video chat..but only with the rear camera...what good is that for video chat?!?
I don't understand their justification....on 2.2 I was able to use the leaked/hacked skype apk and the front facing cam worked fine
Exactly! It's total BS.

At least it's a start. Honestly, though, GTalk with video has been great.
where did you see this new release?
on the skype website?
nm found your quote on the market.
I just installed and tested it out w/ my wife vide/audio is working
currently running gbdebloat.
@bliang - does the gtalk video also have the same problem as skype where
you have to put the phone in landscape in order to fix the rotated video?
I get some kind of package error when installing on CM7.

Installed on CM7 but won't let me sign in or create a new account. However it keeps trying to start up with the cloud and sync circle in the notification bar. Even killed it and it just reappeared.
Sent from my Xoom or Thunderbolt, pick one
is that old skype apk that was working on stock still avaible?
Nevermind, i didnt have it enabled in the settings...
It does work in CM7 RC1.4 for me with the front camera.

Front camera works my phone (running CM7), but sound is missing. Anyone else able to confirm this problem?
Well you could always face the back camera to you and stand in front of a mirror/place a mirror in front so you can see the screen

Same...damn, didn't notice it last time I tested.
well this is depressing. i've been waiting to use skype b/c most of the people i want to chat with don't have tango, fring or video gchat on their unrooted phones.

thank u sir
Hopefully the official 2.3 update comes out soon.
When I try to intall Skype from the market it locks up my phone and then reboots. I am not rooted, and on the latest OTA update.
Is this because I am on 2.2.1?
Shouldn't be a problem. I downloaded Skype after the latest (UCKH1) OTA update, and it installs and runs fine (aside from its not using the front camera, of course). Also stock unrooted here.

I had the exact same issue with my first Infuse. I haven't tried it on this new Infuse yet.
By the way, I did find a video calling app that works better than all of the others and is also available in the iPhone: ooVoo
I don't bother with Skype, Tango, Qik or any of the others. ooVoo has all I need.
I've started using fring which works great on the Infuse....
Tango, qik, skype..... None of them worked for me...
