Hi,
Am an android user. However, a friend of mine owns a samsung focus. Since, her laptop is broken, is there's any way she can have video calls or IMs with me?
I checked around the marketplace and did a few Google queries. Most apps I came across have a price tag.
Doesn't WinMo have free IM or video call apps?

Does anyone know of a way to view someone's webcam using your ATT Tilt.
I am asking because my parents and I chat using windows live messenger. Obviously you can video chat if you are on the computer but there are times that they want to show me things and a video chat would be more beneficiary. Any ideas? I thought I saw something simular to this question a while ago on the forums but I was unable to find it in my search.
as far as i know the current pocket msg dont support any type of video calls
MSPortrait is currently the closest to achieving what you want to do, but its development seems to have ground to a halt and it can't use the front camera (Kaiser)
Live messenger supports voice clips in either direction but not video
Orb allows you to view and listen to a PCs webcam but it is only 1 way
I have Emailed the developers of Portrait at MS and they stated they will let me know of any updates as they are released.
I know old Post

Hi all
I've been looking for a new phone, but it seems all the new OSs are a bit naff. WinMo 6.x, for all it's failings, is the only mobile OS I can find which does everything I want (except record calls). I would like a new phone regardless as my X1 is a pain sometimes.
So, does anyone know if you can put WinMo 6.x on the Samsung Wave? Apparently it's almost the same hardware as the Galaxy S, so I suppose putting Android on it might be more simple, but I'm interested in WinMo.
NB: Everything I want includes: SatNav, Stardict, WebCam, Grooveshark, Skype, Local Sync with Thunderbird, Office viewers, Tethering, Ogg Vorbis Playback, Record Calls.
Thanks
I went from X1 to HD2 and it's a great phone. You might want to check it out. It has call recording too.
Guys,
It does seem to me that Skype randomly dropped the ball; Fring does not support video chat anymore, and other video chat application do not support PC to Android functionality. The technology is HERE; however why are all of these video products limiting themselves in this way? Is creating a PC app that difficult? I just don't understand. It seems so obvious!!! It's the ONE SINGLE THING that we cannot get and are looking for.
Sales pitch they don't want you to know
Even though we all know that video chat will work with Wifi (that we pay for already) -- I really believe that these big corporations really want to release Video Chat at the same time LTE will be realeased with newer phones that, again, will already have front facing camera when some of us currently have already technology already. Skype is releasing Video chat to Verizon exclusively which will give an incentive for people to want to go to Verizon to use video chat. This technology already exist but they would like for us to use it at a price (buying a new phone and switching to Verizon if we didn't do so already). That is why Skype does not do video chat, when they can! Fring to Yahoo messenger does not want to use video chat, when they can! Fring to MSN messenger does not want to use video chat when they can! Fring PC to Phone does not exist and they want it to stay that way as well as Tango PC to Phone does not exist as well.
What we need is PC to PHONE VIDEO Chat -- how hard is that ?
Thats my 2 cents. Please let me know if you guys agree on this idea of trying to sell video chat for more money then just releasing it for free. I have tried to find PC to Android video chat functionality and I cannot. Please enlighten me if you guys have or know of this technology that works!
Thanks.
We have moved to Android and IOS devices now namely DroidX and iPad leaving behind our HTC Touch and Diamond.
We don't want to junk or even sell our previous devices since they have sentimental values. I was thinking to put them to use at lease. Is there any software I can install to turn those two device into a security cam?
They are both wifi capable, WM5 and WM6 operating system. I have used them as a BT webcam before, now I am looking a way that I can use them as a Wifi webcam that can stream video over the internet to my own server/hosting or may use Ustream or any other streaming service alike with a host PC.
If can record a video to the server will be much better so I can review it later. It will be perfect if there is a motion detection that could save me space and time in reviewing the videos.
Can this be done?
It's been a while since I post here, I will really appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Yes you can
Just download IP Webcam from the Google Play Market. It does exactly what you want. It runs an HTTP server so you can connect to it in a variety of ways, as listed on the main page in the browser, once you connect.
Good Play is for Android!!! He has a WM6
Curious if its possible to remap the video call option to automatically use tango, skype, or some other video calling service? I have NO CLUE what the native video call option is????? is it proprietary like iPhone Facetime? or carrier based? or what?
Since I'm on T-mobile in the USA - I'd like to remap that to use a compatible option . THANKS
Tango
Have you downloaded Tango for your Optimus yet? I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Please give better details.

I understand what he's trying to do. ie when he goes into his contacts and hits video call, instead of making a normal video call, he wants it to connect via skype instead.
in theory this would be possible, but then the reciever would also need skype...

That's exactly right... from contacts hitting the video call button the phone using an outside method of video chat... What is the default method anyways? is it some proprietary protocol like Apple's FaceTime? or is it carrier based or what?
Another great question would be, is there anything that would interface from the optimus to a facetime device? is there facetime for android? All my friends and family have iPhone's, and NO ONE has Optimus 3D or android's at all - hence the reason for wanting to use another video call client.
Hi Araltd,
My experience is only for Tango.
Currently you can Tango another Tango users from within your contact list.
Tango supports PC, Android 2.1 or higher, Windows Phones, iPhones (3GS and newer), iPod touch fourth-generation and iPads. That means you can Video Chat with other platforms.
You should give Tango a try. You’ll enjoy it!
Android Devices
- Download Tango from the Android Market here: http://bit.ly/lERnBS (choose to open in 'Market' when prompted)
Apple Devices
- Download Tango from the Apple App Store here: http://bit.ly/lpK8XN (iPhone, iPod, iPad)
I am in the same boat as you; all my friends are iOS users. I just can’t get away from Androids freedom!
