I am looking for a Skype support video. I done some research and I installed the leaked one for the thunder and don't let me to install. Any solution?
Is there any news on this? I am due an upgrade, and would really like the Sensation, but i need Skype video calling to work!
I thought you answered my question JK. I really get tired of looking. Nothing work at all nothing support video chat or nothing every chat I downloaded just normal chat. Hopefully someone get with an a solution. From what I read online 2.3 does not support any video chat at this time. But there is some program you can use for video calling not chat like Tango. The thing I am really wishing is Android to have video calling by default like Nokia which when you call a number it asks you voice calling or video calling. Android is great but need a lot of work. At this point iPhone is so much better more than any Android phone out there. I really start to hate Android in general there is no support at all, Nothing growing. Everything is fixing bugs Ubuntu it's great but never complete like Windows or Mac OS. But we don't have any choice for right now just wait and maybe the companies will support and upgrade their apps.

I believe you need android 2.3.4 for video to work on skype and gtalk
Skype just updated it's app in the market to add vid support for "some" phones, but the sensation is not on the list yet. Anyone try out the new update?
hmmm seems skype video isnt working on sensation...
but on sgs pages of xda-dev someone patched video support in for sgs and sgs2...
maybe some dev can check out if this is possible for sensation too...
cheers...

waited long for this! tried it on my hero- works! both wifi and 3g.. still under development but does the job.. check fring out!
oh, and its not skype lite btw
Very very very very buggy, doesn't log in half the time, other half doesn't show 90% of my Skype/MSN contacts as being online, when I know they are.
Has potential but needs a ton of work.

i agree, except for the fact that you cannot make calls on skype.. well, at least on my hero
Nimbuzz lost support for Skype a while ago. They (or Skype, I don't remember) sent out an email out when the support was removed where they stated that it was because of issues with the quality/performance of the video calls through the Skype network. So, Nimbuzz doesn't support Skype. BUT IT'S A GREAT APP. I use it daily.
Does anyone know if its possible to use the skype for verizon on our Evo? If we could get this working it would be awesome. Wonder if its just a straight.apk. We could port over.
Why not just use Nimbuzz for Skype
Nimbuzz is the only Skype app that works for me now that fring lost support.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This has been discussed before, OP. If you try to run the Skype app from a Verizon phone, as soon as you launch it, it'll say that the app only runs on devices on the Verizon network, and then close.
IM+ by Shape Services also works with Skype. Though, only Nimbuzz will allow you to place and receive Skype calls.
Nope for skype app from verizon but there is a lite version floating around here....
According to Engadget, an update was just released that supports WiFi, so we have to assume that until someone gets a chance to test it on a non Verizon phone, it might work now.
FWIW, I also have an EVO, so I too would like to see Skype on Android, not tied to a specific carrier, though I haven't tried Nimbuzz yet. I just want Skype to hurry up with the development of their app, and support video too, or at least unblock Fring, but who knows if that'll ever happen...
Update: apparently it still doesn't work for EVO. The APK is linked to from one of the comments here:

ah, just read that. verizon is cheap, still have to have 3g on in order for that to work
Ive had this phone for 3 weeks now and ive become frustrated with the lack of video call apps this phone has. Tango sucks, yahoo doesnt have ffc support, fring sucks, and skype doesnt have ffc support. All it says is coming soon for gingerbread. they are trying to develop a script hack over here to get it working early but i havent heard a update on it. do we really have to wait for verizon to get their working version first in order to pull the apk from it or something?
Or is there a PC to android video call app i looked over in the market.
yahoo messenger works with live video (tried from SGS I9000 to PC)
the video unfortunately it only works in froyo 2.2
it's not yet updated to support 2.3

you cant "tango" with people on a computer.
Ahh I see, have you emailed the dev to ask them if this could be implemented?
T-Mobile's flavor of Qik now supposedly supports the SNS....is there a PC client for this? If so I'm also interested.
I am wondering if anyone knows when a 2.3.4 rom will come out because that is when google added official support for video chat to talk. I know I can use apps like qik, etc, but my wife would really like to be able to do phone>PC chat so she can talk to our niece.
So far the apps I've found that do phone>pc chat don't support the sensation yet. I was hoping root would help me get a proper 2.3.4 rom.
There is a hacked version of gtalk that make it posible to use audio chat and see video chat of others but the sensation cam wont work.
Just search for gtalk video chat 2.3.3
Just try this:

In case gTalk doesn't work with HTC Sensation, And if you want to use skype for video call from phone to PC, you can download a "special" version of skype in the link below:

Hopefully it works for you. I know mine works!
Hi all,
So far I‘ve tried whatsapp, skype with disappointing results.
have anyone managed to have a decent video call on this tablet?
I don't have mine at the moment. Will tell you later next montr if you can wait.
But what do you mean by "disappointing results so far"? And did you try an other app such as Jitsi?
Audio is ok, video not so much. I only use skype and whatsapp, did not try something else

First of all this is a question and should go in question and troubleshooting forum. Why don't you try zoom ?????? Which android version are you on ????
the android version is 4.1.2. Zoom is not used by anyone I know.

Brother I use three video calling apps : zoom, Cisco webex, Google meet and I always think in terms of features and quality, zoom is the best out there. Anyway you can't install any of these apps on android 4.1.2, you will have to upgrade to android 6 minimum.
Thank you very much for your detailed reply!
I use Zoom regularly on Unlegacy's android 7 ROM. It works great, but I can't use Bluetooth headsets due to a bug in most of the roms out there. I'm currently trying to solve the bug, if you can try it and tell me how headsets are working for you during a videocall, that would be great!
