Skype 2.1.0.46
New version of Skype released yesterday. Video calls are working on my Inspire. Just wanted to share in case anyone missed it
not working here.
Out of curiosity, what's the point without a forward facing camera? Do you use a mirror?
Sent from my Unity Inspire 4G.
I used it for testing and its better than the one in yahoo. Its not that I really don't have a choice cos xperia arc don't have front camera, but the arc camera is known to be of superb quality. Also its nice to be talking to someone while showing your surroundings or someone to them. That's the point of the rear camera

Question: Does tango video chat work? Or even fring video chat?? Qik sucks... and to think skype bought them. Good luck skype.
not work with the front camera. and un-able to switch.
super slow!( in same city)
Market comments for Tango suggest that they will release an update for g2x support. As it is, everything works except initiating the forward facing camera, lol.

Hope the update comes out soon...

It works to record and send video mail. Unfortunately, the only person I know who has a front-facing video camera that I would want to video chat with is on an iPhone 4, and the Qik software on iPhone and Android are mutually incompatible at the moment. They say they are working on a fix, expected sometime "around the middle of April" (which, in case anyone hasn't looked at a calendar in a while, has come and gone). Oh, well, I'm sure it will be RSN...
I've tested qik with another fellow g2x user not bad, but1.3 mega pixel sucks

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you all know that Tango is aware of the front facing camera issues on the G2x. Our engineers are investigating the issue and we hope to release a fix for this soon. We have not forgot about you guys
Stay tuned!
Ive tried fringe with no luck, even tried yahoo video with same results. Only app I know of right now that supports g2x front facing cam is qwik. Its not a bad software just not particulary great.

not sure if people know about this but the aosp has release 2.3.4 for developers at this link

found this out on androidcentral.com
Awesome find!!!

Haven't read the full changelog but I don't see it benefiting us at this point from the minimal I have seen. It has added video chat which we don't have a front facing camera for so not sure what all devs can do to use this for us thats different from 2.3.3.
Might be the fix I'm looking for! Even if phone has rear cam I do use it for video calls to show where I am, but all 2.3 roms don't let me see incoming video properly :/

Yeah, I know what you mean. This is going to be great for my tablet though. Dual core support and video chat

Do any of you guys know of a rom for the mez that supports a front facing camera? I watched a video on youtube about the instalation and really want to give this a try. Any ideas?

first we would have to have an ffc... but then every rom would support it. so... yes? I'm confusing myself. no.
Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
On youtube there are videos on how to install a front facing camera into a galaxy s that does not have one. However they say that you need to have a rom that supports the ffc.
Ain't gonna happen
It has a front facing camera - you just have to turn the phone around to use it.
I've trained you well.

I installed Skype thinking I could enjoy video chatting, but it tells me that if I have Froyo that I can only use the main camera, not the secondary. Are there any apps that make use of the secondary cam of the Triumph for the purpose of video chat?
You can use yahoo messenger it works pretty well

I don't have the Triumph (yet) but try Fring or Tango.
Tango works on the Triumph.
anybody used triumph for video chat using front facing camera? how is the quality?
I used Tango last week with my brother (he was using a MyTouch 4G) on 2 bar 3g coverage. Video quality looked great. Audio quality was inconclusive on account that he was chatting from a party at a bar. lol

video quality is pretty good with tango but the sound was terrible phone to phone, weird crashing sounds in a perfectly quiet room
Tango works fine for me

That's true for Google Talk Video... but not for Tango. I am running Tango perfectly on a rooted Triumph 2.2
As soon as CM7 is ported for the Triumph, I will install Google Talk Video!!!

THANK YOU! Works great for me
Tested it one a couple of separate calls, and both were surprised by the quality of the video. Thank you so much for the great hack.
Tango works for me, with decent coverage that is. Usually can't hear the other person though.

What makes this different from the one on the Market? I haven't had a chance to try out any video calls, but it seems to be the exact same and still tells me that 2.2 won't let me use the front-facing camera.

That works well! Exactly what I wanted. Do you know if anyone is going to re-release this mod with the next version of Skype?

Except that there is another settings menu that will let you choose your front facing camera. It works well, and I thought the same thing at first until I had done a little poking around and found the added menu.

Oh ok cool. I had looked but didn't see anything. I'll have to try that out.
I tried Tango and it rawks. I am long distance dating a woman in Australia, and Tango allows us free calls (international rates are insane), AND video using my front camera. I am very pleased.

Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!
I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.
