The update I've been waiting on, works great...
The zoom in issue happens only when i click the video button first. When my wife clicks it first then me, the zoom in issue goes away. She is using on her iphone4. Maybe it'll help

Skype 2.0 video chat on g2x.?

Hey xda well Skype just update and now has video chat on nexus s and a couple other phones and I was wondering if there's a way to make it think we have a nexus but I'm pretty sure it might be the same steps when people tried the Netflix app. Also I think I read its only gingerbread not sure anybody on cm7 might give it a try.? Thanks xda.

I am interested in getting this working as well. I use skype for business as well as to my brother in law in Alaska. It would be nice to use my phone instead of being tied to a less mobile laptop.
+1 so far there is no way to have a video call to a pc.. whether it is skype, gtalk, or msn
+1 comeon skype - i have dual camera's and wifi/fast3g on my g2x - i just want some video chatting to other skype folks.
When oovoo updates thier app, we'll be able to use that to video call computers.

Yahoo messenger video chat works only problem is it uses the wrong camera on the phone cant get the other camera to work
but everything else works great have to dowload the video plug in as well as the messenger from market

You have to change multiple lines in the build.prop. Not just the line that shows your phone model. I used this method to get my MLB at-bat live to work on my Vibrant 4g.
My G2x isn't rooted yet, but if someone posts the build prob I can show you the lines to change.
Try:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
If that doesn't work post a build.prop file... I believe another line might need to be changed..

Qik video chat/ samsung galaxy 4g
yes we were on wifi .... thanks for answering
I actually had some chat problems at first. But then I over clocked and used dsexton's modified build prop and it worked. Try that and let me know how it goes. I haven't used it in a while though, so hopefully someone can give you insight on this.

Skype video on sensation?

I'm getting my sensation tomorrow and was curious if skype video calling works? Coming from a g2x I was pretty annoyed that it didn't, I'm hoping that since the sensation has a different processor, that it will be compatible. Thanks!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Yes, it is working =)
That's awesome to hear. Do I need to get a hacked apk from xda or will the market version work?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
No, you don't need hacked apk, just download it from market. And video calling should work.

I like Google plus hangouts. The only problem is getting your friends to sign up.

can you initiate the hangout from the phone app? or does it already have to be setup through the full website?
you can initiate a hangout from the phone and it does nit require wifi. Google talk works good too but you have to mod some files to use it over 4g.

I've also used Skype on both WiFi and my data plan and worked great. I also tried out Tango and it's worked out great as well - I actually like Tango more than Skype.

I've used Skype on mine, the resolutions seems a bit quirky, and the software doesn't look very pleasing when doing the video call. However it works well, especially in a area with awesome LTE coverage.
