This device should be one of the first to get gingerbread, how else are you going to brag about a camera when it barely works with other devices?

Qik is fully integrated into the phones software so that looks to be the best option.

Don't think that Skype works on Android at all for Video.

I think you can use Yahoo Messenger, but I'm not positive.

Ok it would appear that video is grayed out when you are video chatting between phone and computer on Messenger.
ARGH

Spoke to a t-mo rep today and while my order for this phone was being filled she told me that you could use qik to vidchat with a pc.
That is a rep talking so take it fwiw.

How? (10 chars)

Check the MicroSD card that came with the phone, there's some QIK stuff on there, I believe it's labeled Qik PC Client.

Video Call for NS

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.

Tango's front cam doesnt work properly, it shows it sideways and zoomed.

I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.
"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:
- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that
- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.

if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.
Use Qik Video Connect.

So Qik is the only option? Does that work for video chat to a computer or iphone?

I wish that was in English, I'm pretty sure there was something important in it somewhere.

Just tested Qik. Called my friend who was using an Atrix 4g. The call was great. It used the right camera on the Infuse 4g. Love the app now.

Im basically the odd one out in family using non iphone4. They using fring flawlessly but i just cant get the feont cam to work, otherwise the sound and back camera is great quality. Just d/loaded qip and hope it'll work.

How to Videocall from Sensation to PC

Hi,
does anyone know how i could do that ??
whith fring it "was" possible to talk from cellphone to PC using skype protocoll.
fring on cellphone to skype app on PC via wifi. but that isnt supported anymore from skype or fring.
does anyone has another solution ?

I asked the same question and no body answer. This mean there is no solution for right now. Yahoo does not support it yet and Skype is same so there is nothing will work until the phone release tomorrow. then we have to wait some times till they release the source and hopefully something will work out.

have u tried skype or somthing similar to Tango ?

i tried fring ... and the dunny thing is fring supported it some weeks ago ...
then when i tried it skype gave a blog to the internet which said that skype doenst want this anymore so they skipped support or disabled it for fring ...
that terrible
and from skype (phone) to skype (pc) works . but only voice chat , no video !!!

VTOK works great.. as long as you have a google account (which for sensation users should pose no problem) and the PC end has video chat for gmail installed.

One app I use thats been great for Videocall to Pc is oovoo! give it a try

PC to Phone - Phone to PC Video Calling
I've been using Yahoo! Messenger for video calling. You need the yahoo video plugin installed in your android device.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Qik has a desktop version that (I think) runs through Adobe Air, though I haven't tried it myself. And since they are owned by Skype, I'm hoping Skype cross-app support comes or they get integrated into one app or something.

oovoo is not supported yet on the sensation....i tried lol . you are right tho. it does work from phone to pc cause i use it with my friend all the time and they usually at the mall.

I sue VTOK, talk to anybody with a Gmail account/Google Talk and the video Chat plug in. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread about this floating around, because I responded in that one as well. Maybe that's why there's fewer replies in this one.

I tried VTOK for a day. realized that it stays running all the time even when logged out & drains the battery

Skype will be the program for that. Install the latest version on your pc and moded version of skype on your sensation that supports both front and back cameras. It is called TBolt_GB_ Skype.apk

How can i make video calls

is ther ny way to make 3g video call on my desire s????

Specially here in Europe where Gtalk videocalls are not supported.
Ja, I have the same question.

Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

What's the difference between this and Skype? I've made alot of videocalls on Skype and at least I can call friends on PC. What's the benefit of having Fringe installed? It's something like Whatsapp but for video calls as I see.
I understood that OP wants to make a 3G Video call...not a video call through whatever data connection it's active on the phone(including 3G). From my understanding that is a video call service that's depending on the operator. Vodafone is offering that in RO, I belive it's available for other countries/operators as well. And that means you can video call someone by his phone number
The service is described better HERE

Exactly rapier......
I meant the video calls through mobile network..... Not through internet....... Evn many java phones does this...... Y cant our much much advanced smart phones do this....??

I find gtalk smooth.
Think you can install gtalk with videocalls for desire s if you're rooted

Other option is if you both have the viber app
Plus Skype and fring as others have mentioned

I am in the same situation... I want to use this service too, but I started to think that is impossible with android phone. I had three phones with Android so far, but none of them have this option.....

As I saw, phones with 3G video call have a dedicated buton for this. This is not the case with our Android phones.
I called my operator now (Vodafone) and I got the confirmation. Android phones are not compatible with this service. Only phones that have a dedicated video call buton and are listed on the operator's compatibility list can use this service

Can some1 develop sumthing like this?????

3G native calling is not supported by Android. Only Samsung and LG android phones support it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I was searching for this some time too. Unfortunately only apps like Skype or Fring are making this possible on my Desire S, but the client has to be installed on the other person phone too and this is a bit limiting. This is my only dissapointment of Android so far but I am finding it strange to have this service natively supported on my 2008' Nokia but not on my 2011' smartphone.
I truly hope that someday someone will suddenly share a nice way do make videocalls through the mobile network with Desire S

Tango is a very good video call app

olyloh6696, you just opened this thread. Could it be exactly what the OP here wanted? I just recall, when I was using Edymion ROM, that I had that video camera buton but never tried to use it. It could be the equivalent of the hardware "video call" buton on some phones for making 3G calls. Someone with sense rom could eventually try it

I have it on Virtuous too. But how can we add recipients there?

You shouldn't add recipients...sorry cause I don't have the ROM installed to try, but I suppose that button works identical with the normal "call" button, just that it is a video call instead. The person you are calling should support the video calling feature and have the service active from the operator in order for it to work. The way it should be used is by selecting a person from your contacts, then call using that video buton instead of the normal call button

Ah thanks! That clears it up! Cheers
