[Q] Video Chat/Calling Qik Front Camera Fix

So you know our phones comes with Qik Video Chat. Has anyone used this app? I don't have any friends that have it so I don't know if the picture is in the correct orientation.
Has anyone used other apps like Tango? I tried using Tango with my brother and the orientation is wrong at his end.
So my main question is for those that are using Qik Video Chat. Is the orientation correct on the receiving party's end or is it wrong like with Tango that I'm experiencing with other people?
UNRELEASED UPDATE FOR QIK HERE!!!X.

Yes my wife and I used Qik and it look good, just a little laggy.

Qik
I have not been able to use mine yet. i dont have any friends who have a front faceing camera yet. So right now its a waste of space for me. My girlfriend has a fasinate and she thought, and was told it had a front cam on it but we found out it did not....

I've used Qik - its clear and it does lag. The only thing Im not too happy about is when using any other app such as Tango or Fring u can not utilize the face front camera. Use have to use the camera on the back which sucks. If I had to do that I would've kept my Vibrant. I was told that there may be an update coming out to correct that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Tango is ok but if I had to choose I would use qik or fring.

What sucks is that you still have to use the rear camera. It won't let you use the face front. I don't want to have to turn my phone around so the other person can see me.....I hope they come out with a update for it. If not Im going to have to get rid of this....I already rooted it and unlocked it....

Update your tango app -- then click the icon at the top right hand corner of your screen and it will rotate from Front to Back

i cant use the camera with skype. i can only in the qik video chat

QIK Force close
anybody experiencing a Force Close on QIK software? I have removed some bloats and integrated the QIK update to the ROM via Titanium back up.

Tango seems to work fine with me.. at first the front can showed up sideways but after the update it works perfectly

Could you maybe post that apk here? Just back it up with Titanium Backup then upload the apk.

ooVoo, is the best as far as I am concerned. I video chat for hours, and have used Tango, ooVoo, and qik. ooVoo has the best audio quality, video is good also. Tango, has good video quality audio is not so good. And qik. ok. oovoo is the best, you can chat phone to phone and phone to pc.

Qik won't let me switch to the front camera. It says switched to front, but it's not.

Tango is good if you are doing phone to phone or phone to Ipod touch....Oovoo is the best in my opinion because you can do phone to phone, phone to Ipod touch and phone to pc

For those of you having issues with front camera not working after the update. I uploaded the unreleased update from qik in the OP

Anyone else having issues with front camera on tango?

From the looks of it its a software based problem. Looks like were gonna have to wait till they update it to support whichever camera is in the front (hardware wise)

I used tango yesterday and it worked fine

I never could get my ffc to work on tango. I think its a conspiracy to get tmo customers to use qik.

We are aware of the front facing camera issue on the G2X. We just received our G2X in to the office yesterday and will start performing tests on it as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we will be able to fix the issue soon!

It's a new phone, wait for an update. This is common with new Android phones.

Ffc didn't work on tango for my g2x only showed back camera. But when I use qik it kept force closing everytime I would answer a call. Qik works on my Mytouch 4g fine but on tango the ffc view would transmit it upside down to my g2x when I did a video chat Test.

Any video calling app between android and iphone using front facing camera?

U guys know any? I've tried skype, fring, yahoo messenger, and none of those can use the front facing camera. I didn't try qik cuz I think it's for android only. Tango looks weird, I don't have a screen name and don't know how to add a friend, so I don't know if it works or not.

check the last post. Tango has a beta for G2x which allows us to use our FFC. I just made a call with my gf's iphone and it works.

Fring and Qik

Qik works, I didn't know it's available for iphone too. It's kinda slow though, even if both phones r on wifi. Fring didn't detect the front facing camera.
Thank you guys for ur help

Yep, used tango today to an iPhone, no problem

Tango
Tango works fine between my G2X and my wife's iPhone 4.
I like Tango over some of the others because it doesn't require setting a username and password. It's based on your phone number. Makes it easier to manage imo.

Fring

Can anyone get the front camera to work on fring because i cant seem to make it work for video chat

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.

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
