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.

Gizmodo demonstrates video calling from Evo to Evo using Fring - http://gizmodo.com/5549494/fring-for...rom-the-future
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.
Oovoo has released a mobile application for the Evo and the Epic. It supports text based IM, voice calls, and most importantly High quality Video conferencing. This allows users to communicate with PC's and Mac's along with other mobile phones running Oovoo (only Evo and Epic for now).
The program is flawed however, I am unable to see the other user's video and they are unable to see mine. I am running CM6.1 with the latest Oovoo version available and no luck. I also tried on an Evo running Fresh (newest version) and I had the same problem. Any ideas?
oovoo Video
I keep trying to download the file from they website with no luck, some how i'm not able to get
the file.
Would you be able to drop the file to see how it works for me, thanks in advance.
its in the market too rubenator downloading it now.
ooVoo

Thanks, I was trying to get it from the market yesterday but it was getting error "file not found".
Did u got it to work?
Any of you that are curious about how oovoo works, I just tried it out and it worked great.
Video FROM evo on PC was a little slow but was all very clear
[edit] I didn't test sound because I'm work.. I was testing the app with a friend
I was successful from pc to mac with video calls, but I could not get my video to show up on the mac or my evo on phone to cpu calls (cpu to evo). I saw the video on my evo and on my mac, but only saw a contact icon for the person I was calling. Any ideas? I am thrilled I will finally be able to make video calls to my wife and kids!
guys, make sure that the person on the PC (not MAC yet) has the ooVoo version made to work with mobile clients, go to the ooVoo website and go to the download page and download ooVoo Version 3.0.1.29, thats the one that should work with mobile phones, i hope that helps
Skype no, Tango no, Yahoo Messenger no as well?!? Any solution?
TIA
Ive used tango and qik on the tf.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Google chat video call work
Actually the impression is Video calls with Yahoo and the front camera DO work
I have had no problems w/ Tango, as well.
Talk.
Sent from my Captivate
yea why not google talk? Newer androids and all computers basically support it.
fring, is free and cross platform.
There's a modified Yahoo Messenger that work just fine on the TF.
Google talk work also

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

I am able to vidchat wih no issue via GChat over 4G and wifi. Tango works too..,I have LG Gslate

HOw do you get Tango to work!? It keep asking me for a phone number!
On a side note, Google Talk works GREAT!!! I wish they add support for Google+ Hangout feature so you can chat with a bunch of people... that'd be awesome!
Blu Studio owners, please, share your experience about using some video chat apk with the device!
I've tried Skype (that is working only as voice call software, as you know), than Tango, Fring, ooVoo, Yahoo Messenger with video plug-in and others, without much success.
Now I have Fring installed, it sometimes works sometimes not, but it's far from being stable.
I also tried to install the Google Talk video chat version from here, XDA. My phone is rooted, so I could install it as system apk, it run but simply did not offered the voice and/or video call feature. So I put back the original, only written-chat Talk app.
Does anybody have more success with video chat on Studio 5.3?
(Certainly the normal mobile phone video call works well. That is why I think there should be some app that works with this processor and system.)
Thanks,
Tibor
Hi guys,
As you can see I'm new at the forum, but I have a Motorola Atrix 4G, Rooted, Unlocked BOOTLOADER, and with the NOTTACHTRIX ROM Installed with the Darks Side Kernel....
I also recently bought a Blu Studio D510, and I have an issue with play music...
I tried with several music players, and I'm still not success...
All the type of files that I tried are .mp3 and .wma
Do you know were I need to put the files in order to used the music player?
Thank You...

As per the manual, the phone was only test for video telephony. Pure voice (CS or circuit switched) calls with video, not IP video "chatting" like Skype and the likes. Strange, but that's what it seems like.
I've seen in another thread on XDA that somebody could use QIK video chat with BLU Studio 5.3. (Freely downloadable from Play Store.)
I've installed it now. It's really working! It's not the best chat program since the free version is not compatible with any other chat apps (like Skype or Viber) but at least -- works. So, if you want to use free-of-charge video chat with this phone you should convince your family members and friends to also install QIK...
Anyone else have problems doing video chat on this phone?
I just got one and it lags a whole lot on skype and google hangout, not to mention poor audio quality. Bandwidth is not a problem- my macbook connected to the same network works just fine.
I've tried freeing up some RAM by killing some apps too, doesn't work.
I just find it hard to believe since my other phone (iPhone 4, running iOS7) handles video chat just fine, and it's over a year older and has less impressive specs than this phone.
Strange, I use Google Hangouts video chat, seems fine here....
