Any apps for cellphone to computer video calling? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi everyone.
I just bought vibrant 4g today and said goodbye to my 1st gen vibrant...
Now i downloaded both skype and yahoo messenger and both only let me use the back camera for video calls....
Now im not interested in an app like tango because i need to make video calls to another country where i want to skype with my father who is using a desktop.....
any tips?
Thanx guys

Like I said in your other thread, Skype works pretty well on GB. I can't speak for Froyo.

I'm on audiophile reduce and I used to use oovoo. when skype 2.1 came out I found a hack to use the ffc and it its much better quality, both video and sound, than oovoo. You gotta root though.

Knowing Samsung, you'll be waiting forever for an official update. Good thing there are some top-notch devs working on porting 2.3.x over right now!

Here's a "stupid, but true" answer: I use the camera app as a mirror to make sure I don't have obvious crumbs or chicken bones stuck in my beard, after lunch, before going back to work. Dumb, but handy. I can turn on the sepia effect and I have a hand mirror that shows me what I look like, right now, in a film-noir piece from 1943.
Nice that it can be used as a "mirror", bummer that it takes pictures like a "mirror". Took a pic of me and my kid holding up an award, but the words are backwards and you cant read the award. I wanted to post the pic to share with family, but grandma couldn't read the certificate my kid was so proud of......

Qik works through its own protocols, only people who have it installed (or similar apps) will be visible in Qik contact list.
Google Talk uses gmail's contact list, and is far more useful to me. Person doesn't have to be in a cellphone to video-chat with me. I can call anyone and have voice or video chat.

yes definately att (and every other us carrier) attempting to control the market value of the phones. they will get out an update as soon as google or samsung steps in and says knock it off, or when a competing popular phone gets 2.3.4
Transformer27, in a utter display of noobieness, I ask you, how do I flip the pic? The best I can find is crop, rotate left/right etc...but no flip. Maybe I'm not ready for a smart phone yet.

Latest leaked Gtalk has video. You can try to install Gtalk 1.3 if you are on GB 2.3+ . See this thread: forum.xda-developers DOT com/showthread.php?t=1056793
It will require ADB, though. Or you can flash it with recovery mode.
You guys are taking yourself too seriously on your post counts. He asked a question what am I doing wrong and I simply replied gingerbread doesn't work with skype.
I'm on FroYo so I use Skype but Tango seems fairly popular cross-platform.

Back on topic, tango has worked great for me across every platform.
I never used tango and probably will only use oovoo because all of my friends use it on their computers I don't know anyone who has a ffc so they just use oovoo as its the easiest

Unfortunately a2dp doesn't work with cm7, the reason is that drivers required were never published by Nvidia. It's built into the framework but unless we get the drivers or CM team finds a work-around, no a2dp for CM7. If you want a2dp, you'll have to use a Froyo rom
... or wait until the official GB rom is released with GB A2DP drivers
Thanks mate I have it working on EvilDs GB 2.3.3 Rom so it wont run on any ASOP roms for now I guess but I spent 130$ for this jawbone era witch buy the way is the future of Bluetooth this lil thing is the first headset with a built in CPU and accelerometer and motion sensor to control games app launch and full HD stream its a must have

There has been so many posts about a2dp not working and why its not working, there's a reason there is a search feature on the forums, having 100 threads about the same thing just creates clutter and makes it harder for other threads to get noticed, reading about the rom you are flashing before you flash it is smart too,its not trolling. made me think of that youtube video on xda developers about noobs it basically says USE THE F**** SEARCH FEATURE in nicer words of course...

Its actually not Froyo, just it can't be gingerbread AOSP. For example, Evil D GB rom can get a2dp
This is probably why T-Mo is so slow getting out the update?

NETFLIX FOR THE G2X will arrived soon

Hello everyone today I just got off the phone with netflix and told them my issue with the netflix app for the g2x, they basically told me the tech people are working on it I know the solution of the problem its basically the build prop( for example most android phones have model numbers but the rest its doesn't match so therefore the app is confuse of the model and the manufacture.) my suggestion is to call netflix if you have the g2x and tell them that it doesn't work the more people who call they can update it faster. and i know it works for eagle-blood and cm7 but if you like a Rom that your comfortable with why change it, its your rom and you deserve the best. take care people.
Running good here....

Really? Who gives a flying fig if it works on custom roms. This thread isn't about that. Stop building your post counts by adding crap that doesn't pertain to the thread.
I have tried MIUI several times and have come to the conclusion that if I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. WiFi drops constantly and WiFi calling doesn't work. There is no option to adjust HDMI output and HBO Go doesn't work. I will say the camera is better and the toggle screen is great, but other than that it doesn't work for me.
To OP - Thanks for the update. I have called several times and have yet to hear anything close to them admitting they are working on it. Every time I call they blame LG. Here's hoping we see something soon.

wtf people, everyone knows it will run on a custom rom, It has for a while, what the op is about is running netflix on a stock rom, I have tried all the custom roms and none have working bluetooth, which i use my bluetooth daily on my motorcycle for music, texts, and gps. So please stop posting what everyone already knows. Until these custom roms support ALL the hardware that came with my phone they are useless, tried them all, some are great but none offer bluetooth and netflix.
Maybe you should change the thread title to say stock because it will continue to happen lol
