How to take video calls on galaxy s 4g??!! - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Can someone please tell me how to take 3g video calls with ffc of my samsung galaxy s 4g? I know that the sgs i9000 dialer has the video call button.. But I dont see a video call button on my 4g or is there a dialer.apk which has the video calling option? I am referring to the 3g video calls by the service provider.. Not wifi calling or qik or skype! please someone help me!

im pretty sure there is no video call button. the way you video chat is with the video chat applications.

What are the apps? Are u taking about video calls or chats? I mean the conventional video call through my sim card service provider.. Not three wifi calling or voip or skype! Thanks!

arent the video call and video chat features...the same thing?

Lol yah.. But I am asking about 3g or 4g video calls.. Like the samsung galaxy s i9000 .. Ok so as my i9000 has the video call button on the dialer can I copy the phone.apk to my galaxy s4g? Reply thanks!

To be more clear.. I need to know how to take video calls to my friends mobile number? Not to their tango,skype or any other app account.. I mean through our service provider... Mmm

There is no video calling on stock Rom but there is in the acid team Rom audiophile edition it's pretty good.

to answer this question. you can't directly call them just like you do a normal call or text. the video uses your data service. and honestly. i have found unless you have great 4g or wifi, the quality sucks and it lags. Program that comes stock with the phone is Quik. But there are others..
http://qik.com/

In qik can u call to phone numbers just like normal calls? So can u explain what's the video call button the i9000 galaxy dialer? yes my service provides very fast 4g speeds..

I am surprised that the video-call feature is not yet enabled on a 4g device!!! I realized it only now, but looking at the posts here, it looks like it is not popular at all,,, the video-call-over-cellular network, dedicated channels! In india, it surely is not so popular yet,,so no issues,,, please let me know if you come across a way to place video-calls-over-cellular dedicated channels - the same thing that you are talking about!

instead of asking over n over by pm and in rom thread since apprently its not explained right this is what you are looking for yes?

Oh goodness! That is the dialer im looking for!! Where and how do I get that to my 4g?! Please more info!

it was ansered earlier in your post the audiophile rom has phone to phone calling not sure how well or if at all it actually works and the landscape is messed up working on fixing that but since i have no one to call video to video i cant test it to see if in fact it actually works if it doesnt id like to know cause i have an idea of takeing the tango drivers etc and just incoperateing it into the dialer as that allows for direct to direct calling though there sevice

hey raver if you interested in help with tested stuff im down. right now im just runnin icbinb. but for help purposes i wouldnt mind trying out audiophile. i wanna check out the sound tweaks anyways.

I know that in america u people use wifi calls through apps the most.. That is why I think the 4g does not have that option.. But tell me if I can copy paste the dialer apk from the team acid rom and paste it in my system/ app? Thank u

[Q] Front cam question

I have searched everywhere but can not find an answer,
Can the nexus s do video call through 3g from within the dialler like all the old phones used to do.
My wife really wants the phone but she is always doing video calls from her n97.
It doesnt say anything in the gingerbread manual about video calls so Im not sure if it will.

Taking MySpace pics without the mirror in the bathroom, duuhh.
Rotflol.. Thats the best thing I have ever read !! hats off you man yes, they include FFCs to take own pictures !! LMAO !
just a question .. since when ? :O
Well the htc Evo had front facing cam, and you couldnt do normal video call.
Thats why im asking if anyone knows for sure yet.
Also iPhone has front can but can only do face time not
Proper 3g video call to anybody.
And in the gingerbread manual under calling it doesn't have an option for
Video call but it does have an option for voip call,
That's why I'm wondering if anybody knows.
Oh so u meant without any application ? My bad.
I doubt then. Nothing on the internet that suggests there is an android phone that does video calling without any application like Qik, Fring etc
But still .. taking pics was myspace was hilarious EPIC !
Dam man that sucks, so there is no point of the front cam in the end.
Is there an app dialer which can do normal video chat through 3g in which both phones dont need app ?
I really want my wife to get this phone but that is a deal breaker for her.

I'd guess, not at the beginning. From what I understand, front-facing camera (FFC) support is now enabled in the Camera application only, and possibly Video too.
The first app that will get video support is probably Google Talk; the current VoIP support seems, from all descriptions, to be voice-only. Hopefully we'd soon get video calls in Skype too, but that might take a while seeing as they just got around to releasing the voice-only client not too many months ago.[/QUOTE]
there is no application for video chat in stock gingerbread, You'll require a third party application such as yahoo messaging for video chat.
google supported video chat is coming with honeycomb, or possibly earlier with a google talk/voice update.

Call Recorder on Nexus S?

Hi all,
First thing, please don't debate about the legalities in your states and countries of phone call recorders. I understand they are different everywhere.
Has anyone used a voice call recorder successfully on Nexus S? If so, please share!
Thanks.
Would like to see an app that does this.

http://www.androidzoom.com/uk/android_applications/media_and_video/sound-recorder_itno.html (Works well. Sound quality is good. You're gonna need an app that can browse your sd card to access your recordings as there is no a playback button)
Please tell as about the quality of recording of both sides and whether there are any time limits or not.
Cheers

I had try a lot of programs to record calls, but none have worked....
Somebody have one who works?

Someone knows one program who works to record calls with nexus s?

just to awake this topic .. even i havent found an app to record calls on nexus s .. its surprising how easily u can do it on symbian nokia phones .. dated to even 10 years old ..
ne1 knows how to record calls ???
With the current set of hardware which is shipping on Nexus S, I don't think (2-way) call recording can be achieved. There was an elaborate thread on the same here on XDA but
I am unable to find it (amongst so many of them). Shall re-post if I find it.
so many custom kernals n roms but sumhw no call recording yet ??? .. y is it so ???
I've asked that question before with no replies. The problem is that the OS built is preventing any app from accessing the internal voice while on call.

It's got more to do the Broadcom Chip on the Nexus S - its on similar lines why we can't have a FM Radio (not an internet streaming App, those are plenty) - unlike it's very close siblings such as the Galaxy S which does boast of a FM Radio & possible 2-way call recording capabilities (I don't follow other phones, too smitten by the Nexus S)
I am interested in this feature
I have been looking for this feature for nearly 1 year, till now I don't see a good solution on Nexus S.
I used HTC diamond 2 before nexus S, and it does perfect incoming/outgoing call recording without the need of speaker on. I don't understand google doesn't allow this API.

[Q] Android: 3G video calls?

Hi!
I was wondering if there's any way to get 3G video calls on Android? I'm not talking about apps like Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, Skype, Fring etc..
Am talking about 3G video calls provided by the operator that would work with other phones that have video calling.
Only android2.3.4 support for video calls.

Android 2.3.4 supports video calls via GTalk, right? Am not talking about that. Am talking about video calls over 3G available on other phones.
You can implement video calls on Android 2.2 and above. Yahoo Messenger works on 2.2+.
But, am talking about operator calls.
Try Tango! Works great for me.

Tango again requires the other person to have Tango.
Am talking about regular 3G video calls that will work with other non-smart phones.

Most of the non-smart new phones support this though. It's weird that someone has not written an app for this yet.
They have written an app for that, but it is required for both parties to have the app...your statements contradict themselves. Easy answer for your question...no. You can not make a 3G video call, or a 4G or wi-fi for that matter without both parties using an app to host it.
There is a standard video call protocol for 3G used by many 3G phones. This is what am looking for. Perhaps, you are not aware of real 3G video calling.

yep.. i`ve been trying to find any app that could do the video call via native 3g without the data plan.. but none to my luck yet.. i`m using the SGS and it does have 3g native calling but cm7 n miui doesnt support it and i love miui but cant make any video call except when using gtalk etc.. so it is not very convenient as i have to make sure the other side to have the same software that i was using.. rightnow i could always video called my friend who is using symbian phone with my SGS but with if i was using cm7 or miui rom i cant do that.. its weird that no one actually write the app for this yet..
Sorry for unburying this thread, but do we have any news in this field? Still no 3g videocalling to non-smart phones? my girlfriend has a simple enough Samsung Blade (S5600v), and she is able to make video calls, but not me (weird)...

[Q] 3g Video call option in SK4g

Hi All
sorry for asking this. If there is a thread that can help, i appreciate for the reply. Is it possible to have the video call option at the Dialing option. Rather using external software like Qik.
this is dev section , and by using gingerclone you can but i really do not see the reason why you would use it as smartphones with front face cams have oovoo, skype, fring, qik useable so it not really nessary
Thanks for the info. its actually because I am in malaysia which most of us use direct 3G video call option rather than going to the other software ( register & use).
Oh ok no prob
