I have searched everywhere but can not find an answer,
Can the nexus s do video call through 3g from within the dialler like all the old phones used to do.
My wife really wants the phone but she is always doing video calls from her n97.
It doesnt say anything in the gingerbread manual about video calls so Im not sure if it will.
Anybody Know.
Yes. It will. Else whats Front Facing Camera for ?

Taking MySpace pics without the mirror in the bathroom, duuhh.
Rotflol.. Thats the best thing I have ever read !! hats off you man yes, they include FFCs to take own pictures !! LMAO !
just a question .. since when ? :O
Well the htc Evo had front facing cam, and you couldnt do normal video call.
Thats why im asking if anyone knows for sure yet.
Also iPhone has front can but can only do face time not
Proper 3g video call to anybody.
And in the gingerbread manual under calling it doesn't have an option for
Video call but it does have an option for voip call,
That's why I'm wondering if anybody knows.
Oh so u meant without any application ? My bad.
I doubt then. Nothing on the internet that suggests there is an android phone that does video calling without any application like Qik, Fring etc
But still .. taking pics was myspace was hilarious EPIC !
Dam man that sucks, so there is no point of the front cam in the end.
Is there an app dialer which can do normal video chat through 3g in which both phones dont need app ?
I really want my wife to get this phone but that is a deal breaker for her.

I'd guess, not at the beginning. From what I understand, front-facing camera (FFC) support is now enabled in the Camera application only, and possibly Video too.
The first app that will get video support is probably Google Talk; the current VoIP support seems, from all descriptions, to be voice-only. Hopefully we'd soon get video calls in Skype too, but that might take a while seeing as they just got around to releasing the voice-only client not too many months ago.[/QUOTE]
there is no application for video chat in stock gingerbread, You'll require a third party application such as yahoo messaging for video chat.
google supported video chat is coming with honeycomb, or possibly earlier with a google talk/voice update.
Did a search here and elsewhere, but didn't find any options as of yet. Granted, the Sidekick 4G has Qik installed, I'd like to find an alternative that allows my wife and I to converse via video chat (Sidekick 4g to/from desktop webcam) when she's away from home.
We've tried a few alternate apps, such as Oovoo and Yahoo Messenger, which will both load on the Sidekick 4G ... but neither of them seem to recognize the front facing camera. They just show video input from the rear camera. Possibly Samsung and/or T-Mobile tinkered with the stock Qik app to allow it to recognize the Sidekick's front facing camer (just my guess).
Has anyone found (not just "it should work") an alternate video chat app that actually works on the Sidekick 4G, being able to recognize its front-facing camera?
Since we are both deaf, we communicate visually and its great that the Sidekick 4G now has video chat. Unfortunately, my Droid X only has a rear facing camera and doing the 'mirror trick' just plain sucks for our kind of usage. If we can't find an alternate video chat app for the Sidekick, then I might go ahead to upgrade my Droid X to one of the newer Verizon phones that has a front-facing camera now that the Qik app is available to a wider range of phones.
yahoo is an option

Do you mean the Yahoo Messenger app w/ plug-in? If so, when we tried that, it was not recognizing the front-facing camera...just the rear one? If there's another way to use Yahoo so it can 'see' the front-facing camera, please let me know how you did it. Thx!
its still in development... to get it fully functional im goin to send a request to the developer and use my device as a test device
Skype video chat may work.
Fring may work.
Tango may work, although im not sure if they have a Desktop version.
Only those 3 come to mind. Skype is a MUST try.

Hi!
I was wondering if there's any way to get 3G video calls on Android? I'm not talking about apps like Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, Skype, Fring etc..
Am talking about 3G video calls provided by the operator that would work with other phones that have video calling.
Only android2.3.4 support for video calls.

Android 2.3.4 supports video calls via GTalk, right? Am not talking about that. Am talking about video calls over 3G available on other phones.
You can implement video calls on Android 2.2 and above. Yahoo Messenger works on 2.2+.
But, am talking about operator calls.
Try Tango! Works great for me.

Tango again requires the other person to have Tango.
Am talking about regular 3G video calls that will work with other non-smart phones.
This is what I want to know too...I have free video call minutes here but these darn new devices dont seem to support them???

Most of the non-smart new phones support this though. It's weird that someone has not written an app for this yet.
They have written an app for that, but it is required for both parties to have the app...your statements contradict themselves. Easy answer for your question...no. You can not make a 3G video call, or a 4G or wi-fi for that matter without both parties using an app to host it.
There is a standard video call protocol for 3G used by many 3G phones. This is what am looking for. Perhaps, you are not aware of real 3G video calling.

yep.. i`ve been trying to find any app that could do the video call via native 3g without the data plan.. but none to my luck yet.. i`m using the SGS and it does have 3g native calling but cm7 n miui doesnt support it and i love miui but cant make any video call except when using gtalk etc.. so it is not very convenient as i have to make sure the other side to have the same software that i was using.. rightnow i could always video called my friend who is using symbian phone with my SGS but with if i was using cm7 or miui rom i cant do that.. its weird that no one actually write the app for this yet..
Sorry for unburying this thread, but do we have any news in this field? Still no 3g videocalling to non-smart phones? my girlfriend has a simple enough Samsung Blade (S5600v), and she is able to make video calls, but not me (weird)...
Can someone please tell me how to take 3g video calls with ffc of my samsung galaxy s 4g? I know that the sgs i9000 dialer has the video call button.. But I dont see a video call button on my 4g or is there a dialer.apk which has the video calling option? I am referring to the 3g video calls by the service provider.. Not wifi calling or qik or skype! please someone help me!
im pretty sure there is no video call button. the way you video chat is with the video chat applications.
What are the apps? Are u taking about video calls or chats? I mean the conventional video call through my sim card service provider.. Not three wifi calling or voip or skype! Thanks!
arent the video call and video chat features...the same thing?
Lol yah.. But I am asking about 3g or 4g video calls.. Like the samsung galaxy s i9000 .. Ok so as my i9000 has the video call button on the dialer can I copy the phone.apk to my galaxy s4g? Reply thanks!
To be more clear.. I need to know how to take video calls to my friends mobile number? Not to their tango,skype or any other app account.. I mean through our service provider... Mmm
There is no video calling on stock Rom but there is in the acid team Rom audiophile edition it's pretty good.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
to answer this question. you can't directly call them just like you do a normal call or text. the video uses your data service. and honestly. i have found unless you have great 4g or wifi, the quality sucks and it lags. Program that comes stock with the phone is Quik. But there are others..
http://qik.com/
In qik can u call to phone numbers just like normal calls? So can u explain what's the video call button the i9000 galaxy dialer? yes my service provides very fast 4g speeds..

I am surprised that the video-call feature is not yet enabled on a 4g device!!! I realized it only now, but looking at the posts here, it looks like it is not popular at all,,, the video-call-over-cellular network, dedicated channels! In india, it surely is not so popular yet,,so no issues,,, please let me know if you come across a way to place video-calls-over-cellular dedicated channels - the same thing that you are talking about!

instead of asking over n over by pm and in rom thread since apprently its not explained right this is what you are looking for yes?
Oh goodness! That is the dialer im looking for!! Where and how do I get that to my 4g?! Please more info!
it was ansered earlier in your post the audiophile rom has phone to phone calling not sure how well or if at all it actually works and the landscape is messed up working on fixing that but since i have no one to call video to video i cant test it to see if in fact it actually works if it doesnt id like to know cause i have an idea of takeing the tango drivers etc and just incoperateing it into the dialer as that allows for direct to direct calling though there sevice
hey raver if you interested in help with tested stuff im down. right now im just runnin icbinb. but for help purposes i wouldnt mind trying out audiophile. i wanna check out the sound tweaks anyways.
I know that in america u people use wifi calls through apps the most.. That is why I think the 4g does not have that option.. But tell me if I can copy paste the dialer apk from the team acid rom and paste it in my system/ app? Thank u

Hi guys,
As you know, our i9003 is not able to make video calls (3G or wifi). In Gingerbread doesn't work in any app, and only Tango and only in Froyo. As anyone port gtalk with video calling for our devices? Or mod some app like Skype, Tango, Fring or Ooovo to have video calls?
For a long time I have contacted a lot with the support of Tango, Fring and ooVoo. I have sent videos, many logs showing the issue, all they have asked me. But they aren't able to fix the issue. Even look at ooVoo email:
"Hi Unkalo,
Due to Ongoing Problems With This device is going to be it removed from the market. I'm sorry We Were Unable to get it working for you.
ooVoo is also available on PC and Mac, I hope you can join us there.
Best,
Roberta "
No comment. Incredible, Instead to try to fix the issue, they remove the app from our market...
Please help, together we can do it.
They removed the app just for not making it work for SL? Is that necessary?

Nobody want to help with videocalls?
In the last days, I have been working with Fring and Tango support. They send to me mods of Frings and Tango, and I reported them the results, and I sent them logs, videos, and screen captures showing the issue, and they sent me a new version, I tried, and started over with logs, videos, screenn captures ...
Today, the results are:
Tango: In Froyo Ok. In gingerbread, fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, and tango developers are working on zoom issue and audio issue.
Fring: In Froyo I think that green flickering issue, but I haven't been able to prove because I'm on Ginger. In Gingerbread: Fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, fixed upside down issue, and fixed zoom issue. In Gingerbread after fix rotation and zoom, appears green flickering again. Fring developers are working to fix it. But they are working on it, and that's good news for our i9003, as developers tend to ignore our device.
Skype and oovoo. KO in Gingerbread (black screen) and KO in Froyo (green flickering).
Gtalk video: KO. If someone could carry a gtalk mod to our devices, would be the best of news.
I shall tell you of new results.
We really need to get Fixed VIdeo Call Issue on I9003
Skype, Yahoo..Paltalk video calls also not working. we can see others. they cant see us..
phone to phone video calls working on my device. but not on Internet video call
If you keep autorotate ON always also. camera freeze sometime.
I don't know why they don't want to fix this issue.. if u start Yahoo video call. phone just rebooting.. on Skype. only one side video working..
Expecting fix on future version!!! Lets all shout together..

To see what's new today
Fring support sent to me this:
"Hi.
Our developers suspect it's a device driver issue or memory issue.
We'll keep Investigating .. I hope we find something.
I really want to thank you for your Enthusiasm and help, Could we have got so far Without it. "
Drivers or memory problem ....??
In addition, ooVoo, launched yesterday a new update, I've tried a video call to PC (I couldn't try with another i9003) and for the first time, the video works perfectly! Only with the audio I have a problem, that my voice is very very distorted ... You can try oovoo and report here your results. I'm ginger, would be nice if someone with Froyo can tell us how it goes.
Come on guys!
in ovoo front video is working but no sound and back camera
Hi Guys,
Fring support send to me a new version, and no green flickering, no audio issue and no rotation issue, only zoom issue. Fring uses 640x480 resolution (native resolution of front cam), with 320x240 no zoom issue but appears green flickering. We can almost make video calls. I show a picture:
But using the camera's native app, using the front camera on froyo, the preview image was similar to when there is green flickering at Fing (320x240):
but after upgrading to gingerbread, the preview shows different, like full screen . I send you pictures so you can get an idea:
I think that here comes the problem of zoom, can be caused by this.
This week will prove this version of fring with my girlfriend (she has a Froyo i9003) and see how it works.
But if successful, someone could port drivers or libs of Froyo, to work well in gingerbread?Any developer could try that?
What do you think about it?
Please respond any developer
PD. Here you have, but beware the fring.log, it is getting bigger and bigger. Can you tell me how it works in Froyo?, in ginger only zoom issue, but and in Froyo? Feedback please.
If you want you can add me as Fring friend, my fring user id is: unkalo

Thanks a lot for your dedication man! I'll try out fring and see what happens! Although I'm currently on CM7, and I can't flash anything for a bit, I'll give it a shot!
Again, thanks a ton for all you've done mate! It's been invaluable!
Update: the market apk was last updated on the 7th of Nov. So I'm guessing that they sent you a beta version? Could you please post it on here? Thanks!

I see you don't like reading too much
With the new version of ooVoo, at in gingerbread, video usually works well (if you have black screen, switch off cameras and it will works well, and if not send picture, hang up video call and call again), the only problem is with the audio, is heard very distorted and not understand anything. To fix it, up or down the volume of the call volume using the physical keys on the device, and that will fix the audio issue.
For now is the best we have so far, almost 100% functional.

Hi Unkalo. by any chance, have you tried this one already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18290748&postcount=1492
DO NOT download the latest one. Click on v11 and try that one out. you need to uninstall your current skype if you have one installed before installing v11. after that:
1. go to menu -> advanced settings -> force enable video calling
2. go to menu -> advanced settings -> use valid preview surface
3. go to menu -> advanced settings -> front camera -> rotation -> 90 deg
I haven't tested this myself but based on the loooooong thread I read, this might work. I'll give it a try myself tomorrow afternoon (i9003 is my gf's phone and I won't be able to meet her until then). I'll try to post back the result as well.
a little off topic, I can see you have gone great lengths to make i9003's video calling possible and we highly appreciate it. thanks man!
You can try it, try all options, and after post the results here. But I've never managed to get skype to work well with our i9003 ...
