what exactly is this for? i dont see an option for it when calling and the phone didnt come with a program for video calls? is it in the making?
well, you can take pics of yourself to upload onto facebook if your into that kind of thing. Sure beats the little chrome dot that your supposed to use as a mirror LOL
I am sure at some point there will be Skype and other programs that will and can use it. Just a matter of time
facing camera is for purpose using the video conference or taking a picture of yourself for some purpose like facebook or update your new face.
You can just download Tango or skype app or whatever your favorite video conference app.
You need the leaked skype.apk for skype video calling which on Sense 2.2 works great. CM7 also has Gtalk with video mostly working. I haven't tried Tango yet but I'm sure it works as well for video chatting.
I have used it with Yahoo Messenger with the video chat plugin and it works great.
Still waiting (patiently.....) for vid-chat support on Google Talk.

Title says it all, will we be able to do a video call with a pc user who is using a webcam?
Qik allows it, so yes.

I'm assuming private chat, not recorded and posted on my qik page. I can't seem to find much about it, does anyone know where I can find more about it?
yes, new app? w/ Qik...
yes, the official launch they said that "an upgrade" (i believe through Qik, an app maybe?) will enable the phone to utilize phone to phone OR phone to pc video calls..."CALLS"...so it must be the case. i guess they foresaw having to compete w/ skype and verizon in this manner...w/ verizon's upcoming vphone (saygus) offering video conferencing software via android, more options may open up than just offered up front at sprint.
Also remember that the 4th gen iPhone will also have a front facing camera, as well as code in the os that point to iChat intergration.
I can't wait till we have an Android app that works with iChat!
This is an upgrade to the qik app or qik account. I wonder if it will cost. That would sure ruin it.
I'm praying for skype to skype video on the Evo.

same, stupid verizon, buying up skype.....
I know I'm half awake, so maybe I missed something, but from what I can see, Qik doesn't have a full desktop/PC app. They seem to be very phone centric.
They do have an app called "Qik-in-Touch" that runs on the desktop and will tell you when your friends are broadcasting publicly (or maybe privately to all friends?) but last time I played with it (when it first went beta), it didn't support webcam on the PC. So it was receive-only on the desktop.
It's something, but not a direct one to one video calling/chat. But maybe they've updated it since the last time I played with it, or maybe I just missed some things.

That's what I was concerned about, I haven't seen anything about being able to video chat to a PC

actually google bought Global IP Systems, they allow skype, qik and so on to have video calling and chat XD so we will see.
Wonder if Google Talk will be getting video chat on the PC and Android phones.
I my opinion that would be great. If you have a Android phone you have a gmail account so it only make sense that it should be coming.

Your prayers have been answered. Fring now supports video chatting with Skype.

Qik does it, but its an extra $5/month, like the post above fring will make skype video calls, or atleast recieve them for now, i havent seen it making a video call yet.

you can do pc to phone and viceversa it receives and makes calls i have already tested it
dont forget skype is releasing video chat on all android devices this year too
Fring is supposed to do skype with the front camera
Tested it today. Two evos both using fring, worked well on our subpar 3G service around here. I did Skype on PC to Fring (logged into a skype account) on an evo. Worked great all the same. I played with fring on an old windows mobile device, and had problems. Today on my evo, the experience was flawless.

Grab & install Fring from the Market. I've been using it for the past 2 days to video chat EVO > PC. PC users on Skype.
NYC is still 3G only, so its pretty bad, but switch to Wifi And I found the quality rather acceptable.
I installed this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13970225&postcount=332 ) and it looks like it may work but it will not connect. I have the camera icon next to my friends names but my friends don't see me as video chat capable.
Is there a working version of google talk w/video for the tbolt floating around?
Thanks,
Kesnik
tried the same thing and got the same results
I was able to initiate calls and saw the other person, but they did not see me. Orientation was also sideways for the FFC, similar to other video chat programs.
It immediately closes for me when I try to do a video chat (the call, not the Google Talk app). But audio chat works well, however the mute button doesn't work, lol.
From what I understand, Video chat from TB to PC will work, but not TB to TB..
so the phone doesnt have a program by itself that can make video calls with its front camera
skype mobile doesnt have video calls, at least not on froyo
google talk doesnt have video calls, at least not on froyo
oovoo doesnt support the TB
tango is the only one i know of but ive read its iffy
what are you all using?

some rom/radio combos on froyo allow skype video and apparently the same thign goes for google talk video
If you Google.. you can find the Skype.apk that has video calling

I prefer Fring over Tango. You can see who is available to call and who is not. And you can do group video chat. Get your menage a trois video chat on y'all!
Oh you can also do Yahoo video chat, never tried that though.

Anyone have a working apk for Qik video chat? The wife has the Sensation and I've been looking for a video chat compilable with it. Google Talk won't work since the Sensation runs 2.3.3, not 2.3.4.
Qik is now Skype. Does not support video chat on Tf as of now

Google Chat has the best video and audio clarity out of everything I tested.
I had tango working on my tf, but it sounds like crap and the video is fuzzy.
Pretty crazy that you are using the same hardware and you get a different output depending on the program you are using. I guess tango does some type of compression or something.

Okay, sorry if this is very obvious but how do you get google talk/chat on the TF. I can't find it in the market and if i go to through the browser it says that it needs to install the plug in?
Hmm, everyone keeps saying use google talk. However I must be missing something.
I have "allow video and voice chats" checked in, but I can not initiate video chat with any of my contacts.
I don't have even an option to activate video chat...

It will only work with other users who have a client that supports video chart (those logged in through Gmail / Google Talk on their tablet / Google Talk on their phone).

For those users not on 2.3.4/Android, they can download and install Vtok
What we need here is FaceTime for Android - I've been using it to talk with my father and it's worked flawlessly. Smooth video, easy connection.
I've had lots of problems with video chat apps for android with video's being upside down or problems connecting - even google talk was hard to get working from PC to Tablet

Hello from germany -
is there any hack what implements the skype video call option to HTC ChaCha?
Thanks for your help...
Alex
hey there, I don't think there is a hack. You can try downloading Skype and see if the video call functionality is already working out of the box...
or you can also wait for the Skype to implement the functionality on our phone, if you check the Skype android app page, you can see which phones are already available for video calls.
Try this:

it s working normally without set up anything else

Hi. I have a ChaCha running 2.3.5 with S-ON.
I checked the link posted previously, downloaded the app, but still no video settings in Skype settings. I'm sure the phone hardware is ok for video calling, because I can use Tango for video calls, but I will really like to use skype as well. Any help please?
Thanks.
Skype is not working on chacha because it require ARMv7 CPU.
Anyone tried this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.oovoo
Its cross platform and more importantly free.
Give it a try.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
It's not compatible with the chacha..
Neither Skype nor Google Talk work with Video chat on the Chacha yet (although there is a "Video for Google Talk" app, but this does not work well.
I was able to install Yahoo Messenger with Video but I did not test it, since none of my friends used Yahoo Messenger and also this as always autostarting - so i deleted it. But I think Yahoo video talk should work.
I really don't understand why Google does not improve Google Talk. I like it more than Skype, but it's not clear why it doesn't even support voice talk on some phones.
I usually use Yahoo!
