Hey xda well Skype just update and now has video chat on nexus s and a couple other phones and I was wondering if there's a way to make it think we have a nexus but I'm pretty sure it might be the same steps when people tried the Netflix app. Also I think I read its only gingerbread not sure anybody on cm7 might give it a try.? Thanks xda.

I am interested in getting this working as well. I use skype for business as well as to my brother in law in Alaska. It would be nice to use my phone instead of being tied to a less mobile laptop.
+1 so far there is no way to have a video call to a pc.. whether it is skype, gtalk, or msn
+1 comeon skype - i have dual camera's and wifi/fast3g on my g2x - i just want some video chatting to other skype folks.
When oovoo updates thier app, we'll be able to use that to video call computers.

Yahoo messenger video chat works only problem is it uses the wrong camera on the phone cant get the other camera to work
but everything else works great have to dowload the video plug in as well as the messenger from market
Well I just thought it would be cool to be able to video chat with Skype. When oovoo updates ill be using that to video chat.

You have to change multiple lines in the build.prop. Not just the line that shows your phone model. I used this method to get my MLB at-bat live to work on my Vibrant 4g.
My G2x isn't rooted yet, but if someone posts the build prob I can show you the lines to change.
Try:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
If that doesn't work post a build.prop file... I believe another line might need to be changed..

Hey guys!
What software, if any are you using for video chat from our beloved tab to a pc and vice versa? Obviously Skype doesn't work, but are there other software capable. Yahoo Messenger isn't working either.
Any suggestions for a PC client?
Thanks a bunch.

Oovoo has an Android client and a PC client. It also has a Mac client, but this currently doesn't work with mobile clients.

I managed to find a fix.
Download oovoo from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=469459&d=1292893120
Install it.
After installing, update it at market.
This worked for me. Dunno if it might work for you.

Yahoo messenger now working on the tab but cannot change the camera to front one. Also, it looks like consuming too much resources and buggy but works with rear camera. May be some one can mod it to work with front camera or if its already works, please suggest how to.

Hi Rjan22,
Thanks for the app, I've been searching for this the whole morning. I've installed it in my Archos 101 tablet. The app is crashing but after reboot it seems to work for a short while then a FC. I'll try to figure out what might be the problem but thanks for sharing the app.
I saw that they rereleased Crackle on the market but it only works with certain devices can anyone post a link to download and sideload the app manually??

The Android Skype app doesn't do video at all. There was an earlier leak of a Skype with Video app a few months ago, but I'm not sure anyone ever got that working on the G2x.
Well thank you very much for helping me. I'm new too android. This is my first android phone. I came from an iPhone.

Do you mean the new Skype 2.0?
http://androidandme.com/2011/06/new...-interface-and-two-way-video-calling-support/
I imagine it might just take a build.prop hack like the Netflix app?
EDIT: OK, so I just tried, and it looks like that isn't going to do it.

2.3.4 is with Video Chat API, isn´t it?
With the Stock or Modac it can´t run.

can you initiate the hangout from the phone app? or does it already have to be setup through the full website?
you can initiate a hangout from the phone and it does nit require wifi. Google talk works good too but you have to mod some files to use it over 4g.

I've also used Skype on both WiFi and my data plan and worked great. I also tried out Tango and it's worked out great as well - I actually like Tango more than Skype.

I've used Skype on mine, the resolutions seems a bit quirky, and the software doesn't look very pleasing when doing the video call. However it works well, especially in a area with awesome LTE coverage.
Features SMS and more. Working great for me. Just install over the other one.

I am using the new hangouts, I haven't used video calls, ever, so I don't care about that, and MMS I use so rarely as to not care about that either. The SMS part works great for me so far.
MMS works as well. I'm using all the files leaked on Android Police flawlessly. Even the launcher.
