With my three former phones (Motorola V980, V3xx, Sony Ericson X1) I have been able to to video calls over UMTS/3G. You know, that regular video-calling thing. Not with Skype, Google Talk, whatever. I thought this would be possible with the Sensation, why would it have two cameras otherwise (Yeah, there are other reasons, but still). I have however not been able to find out how to do it. And when initiating a video call to my sensation from another phone, it fails. So is this really a feature the Sensation is missing? Is there any reason? Any way to get that kind of video calling?
No chance for videocalling?
Afaik the video calling was not implemented in Android.
You have to use a video calling application like Skype or tango

NO way on our sensation, you have to ask directly to google to give us the libs and all stuff to make it working.

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.
Hi Everyone,
I really want to be able to use my EVO to video chat with friends on Skype at thier PC. From all the research I have done this isn't possible anymore since Fring pulled their Skype capabilities. I read that Verizon offers a Skype app, can this be ported over to EVO on Sprint?
Thanks in advance!

i think this question belongs in the questions forum
verizon's skype app did nothing but place calls over voice to skype users...no actual video calls ...although, by the end of this year, skype claims they WILL have a video app for all carriers
Hi guys, anybody knows if there is a way or a mod to make the real video calling (not skype, tango, etc) the one like a phone call? THKS

Hi,
I would be also very interested to be able to use video calls (not internet calls, but phone video calls).
Any solution ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer !!
The problem is that Google Talk only works calling someone who uses also google talk.
The video call solution that I search is the one which permits to call any phone having video call capability using the operator line (without using internet).
It seems that HTC doesn't implement this functionnality (at contrary of samsung on the SGS2 for example), but perhaps a creative developper has solved that missing ?
Hi,
I would like to refer few customised video call solutions for your reference
1. mirrorfly
2. apphitect
3. cometchat
Hope these sites are helps to you!
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 the link above you.
it s working normally without set up anything else
I cannot get it to work
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!
My Nexus s is now rooted for a while.
I have tried multiple Roms, but none of them seem to have the option of making Native Video calling.
I am able to do video calls only from 3rd party apps.
Since i get a good amount of free video calls from my service provider, i am unable to use it.
Please let me know if there exists a rom or app that allows me to make native video calls.
Have you tried Google Talk? That's a native app.

It is not Native video call
My mobile service provider is "BSNL" (like Vodafone or AT&T etc)
I am not able to do video phone calls to any other mobile.
Instead of a voice call, i want to do video calls using my mobile service provider - not through the internet - Gtalk, Skype etc etc.
Google Talk / skype etc etc - all apps - works through the internet connection
most android phones do not support UMTS/3G based video calls. even many handsets with front camera only support VOIP based video calls.
some samsung android sets support 3G video calls.
two of the android models from Spice support 3G video calls.

So you are saying that Native Video Call is not possible in the Nexus & most Android phones ( Rooted)
