Hello,my girlfriend has just purchased a used polaris with a cooked rom,the problem is that the dialler hasn't the selection for video calls,Also when she has an incoming video call the backlight is open but no answering choice is appeared,thus cannot make or receive video calls.Have you any solution?
thanks.
Does your network provider support 3G, that's my only guess. As you need a 3G network to be able to Video Call, if not, maybe try flashing a new cooked rom onto the phone.
Also make sure your dialler supports video calls, just do a search for 3g dialler or video dialler.

Yes my operator support 3g video calls,the point is that dialler not appeared the choice for video call.I will try to find another dialler, have you something in your mind?
I never use video but you could try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489409&highlight=video+dialer for a list of 3g dialers
i'm using c_shekar rom and have a same problem, and also my device detected as if it has no built in cam, but the camera can take photos or videos for sure
I use Sipdroid on my phone and it can interrogate into the phone so when you make a call it automatically calls with Voip over 3g (or wifi). I would liek to know weather it is possible to completely disable making voice/Video calls and texts over mobile network. As i would like to start giving android phones to my employees with data sims because data sims have much cheaper data rates but if you make a call/text its really expensive. And i wouldnt want an employee to accidentally exit sipdroid so when they make a call it doesn't use voip. also I still want to be able to receive regular calls.
Thanks.
could anyone make videocalls in Europe using FFC (front face camera)?
my mt4 works perfectly in UMTS 2100 and shows HSDPA speeds, but i cant even find an option of a videocall
could someone clarify the things?
You should be able to check your App Drawer for Qik thats what you use for video called
but i prefer Fring because i used it before
i meant using ffc in regular videocalls via GSM/3G, not via GPRS Internet
just like other mobile phones call
who uses the stock tmous rom, please tell me if there is an option of making videocall?
video calling isn't built in, you need to use 3rd party apps from the market. yes you can make the video calls over 3g
wooh.. can someone explain step by step how to make a call?
installed both fring and qik
fring has only voip calling (via gprs)
qik has even no option of call, only video record and share
maybe im expressing unclear, but i want to make a videocall not only to other android phone that uses the same (or equal) app, but to every phone that has ffc (nokia smartphones, etc)
Required :
1. The phone of course (Samsung Droid Charge), other Android and iPhone working too.
2. Wifi Hotspot.
3. An active phone number on other phone (CDMA or GSM).
4. LINE from NAVER or VIBER from Viber Media, Inc (Download from market) and many other app available.
Let's begin :
1. Connect ur Droid to WIFI hotspot, download the app (LINE/VIBER) if you don't have it yet.
2. Run the app and register with an active phone number. The app will send SMS with a code to the registered phone number that app needed.
3. Complete the registration.
4. Add the phone number u need to call to ur Droid contact.
5. Enjoy ur call with the app.
NB:Calling/messaging function only work to the relevant app registered users. Most app only work for Android and iPhone and a few including Blackberry.

Google Voice doesn't make VOIP calls, it requires an actual number to connect to. However, you could get a plan that allows you to make calls to specified numbers without using minutes, then set your GV # as one of them, and make all the calls you want without using minutes.
GVoice makes VOIP calls. I measured the bandwidth at the router when I was on WIFI. I also set up a phone with no service with a different phone number. I also tested GVoice on WIFI by changing throughput and testing jitter and the effect on the VOIP calls.
I used Groove, I didn't try the calls with another method, although a Gchat session should work the same.

Thanks for the post, I didn't actually catch that. I was just stating that GVoice does indeed use VOIP if it is set up to do so. I believe GVoice allows for free calls to US and Canada, as well as free calls from another country into the US and Canada.
Your solution is pretty awesome if you need that service. I would like to see an analysis of codec quality, delay, bandwidth usage, jitter, etc to see how it compares to GVoice. Google keeps saying that free GVoice calls will expire, but so far its been renewed. It will be nice to have an alternative, particularly a good, free alternative.
Have you tried your method with success? How is the subjective call quality and call drop rate, etc?
Thanks for the info

U need high speed connection/WIFI to get better call quality.
I have used these apps and prove it work succesfully. The only issue is the call have a delay about 1 sec, so u need to be patient to wait the answere after u speak coz ur voice will be heard after the delay.
Viber will only allow free calls to other Viber users, unless they changed that at some point. And GV must have changed then if you can make calls with it VOIP style with no cell service and only wifi, as it was only a call forwarding service before, meaning you still needed to have the ability to make calls through the phone.

I know you can use the web version of Google Talk as an endpoint for outgoing calls now. I haven't messed with any versions on device though (and if it works, we'd still probably have the audio issue on the Charge).
I used Google voice in Puerto Rico to place free calls over wifi. You can't be in airplane mode because it uses the normal dialer, but it does not use any cellular airtime to place the call.
Google voice integrates well with the android OS. My gf uses it to stay under her 450min plan.

I use it that way on my device, but it does use airtime.

Yeah, I can only speak regarding usage of GVoice with GrooveIP. Otherwise a phone call would have to be initiated in Google Chat. Without Groove, you probably won't know you have an incoming call, at least not in time to answer it.
My buddy uses Groove all the time on his WiFi with excellent results- it works okay on 3G in good coverage and it works excellently on 4G. I have enough minutes and crappy coverage so I generally don't use Groove a whole lot, but it sure is cool to be able to send/receive calls anytime to your GVoice number. I also set up the Google Voice app on the phone alongside Groove (I configured Google Voice app somehow not to notify/bother me). Groove does the phone calls and Google Voice app does the text. This way you can send/receive calls and texts for free without delays. It works brilliantly, and its nice to forward Verizon's voice mail to GVoice, then configure GVoice to forward an email for each text, voicemail, and missed call you get.
If I had better coverage, I would only use GVoice. There is a bit more delay with GVoice than a 1X call, I would say, but not bad.
Is it verified that Viber only works to other Viber callers?
I'm a little cynical that somehow the carriers will try to crack down on Google Voice users or that Google will at some point stop free calling.

It works to call anyone, but it is only free calling if the other user is also a Viber user. They may have changed it since I last looked though, but probably not.

Hello all Xdains,
I'm using Xperia Live with walkman. I want to make video call over the 3g network provided by operator( Not Skype, tango, fring etc, they run via data plan ). Dont via any data plan, just directly. But there is no option for video call on this phone. I have heard that only two Android based phone only support 3g video call directly.
So, is there any way to make video call over 3g, any custom or any other software ........ for Xperia Live With Walkman.
there aren't
