I use Qik. It seems to be the only correctly working video call/chat app.

Report the issue to the developer (via the market app page)...

Tango's front cam doesnt work properly, it shows it sideways and zoomed.

I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.
"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:
- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that
- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.

if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.
Use Qik Video Connect.

So Qik is the only option? Does that work for video chat to a computer or iphone?

Yea, I've already emailed tango about the issue. They are aware and have a fix on the way. My friends galaxy s 4g had the same problem til tango fixed it.

The fring developer asked me for some of the files from my Infuse and I emailed them to him, so hopefully, this will be fixed shortly.

They sent me a new version of Fring, based on the files I sent, and...
...still uses the wrong camera. I replied with the results. Maybe they'll get it right next time.

I wish that was in English, I'm pretty sure there was something important in it somewhere.

Just tested Qik. Called my friend who was using an Atrix 4g. The call was great. It used the right camera on the Infuse 4g. Love the app now.

Im basically the odd one out in family using non iphone4. They using fring flawlessly but i just cant get the feont cam to work, otherwise the sound and back camera is great quality. Just d/loaded qip and hope it'll work.

Mms pictures

Why do all my mms pictures that people send me have a big play button over it? Is there a way to remove this? I've been in a jailbroken iPhone for a long time and this is my first android any help would be greatly appreciated
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

click on the picture should enlarge it.

Come on man I realize that. I was just hoping there was a way to remove the play button from a picture. I could understand it being there on a video but not a pic.

Hey thanks for the tip go SMS seems to be a nice upgrade to the stock App. And no more play sign!!!!!

This problem plagues tons of android 2.2.x devices...captivate and atrix included. They located the problem and patched it in CM7 for SGS. When we get it ported, the problem will go away.

Does anyone have problems receiving MMS pictures from iPhone users?? I tend to get a long message saying "one or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaptation. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your terminal."
I used to get a similar message on the Atrix. Why the hell does this happen??

Not an Android issue, it's AT&T wanting to give you a "multimedia experience" which annoys the hell out of me. Once the ROMs come out, it'll be gone. It was the same with the HTC Aria, Samsung Captivate, and HTC Inspire 4G... With my last phone, Inspire 4G, any rom applied broke the play-button thing, so photos just showed up like on normal phones.
Why must AT&T try to get their hands all over everything? It's so annoying.

First thing I did when I got my phone was delete the stock samsung mms app and replace it with the stock aosp mms app
I use SUFBS but root explorer does the same....

HTC Video Calling

I've searched and found no results for this so I appologize if it's been mentioned. When I open the "people" there is a "video call" tab. Is it possible to use this feature?

Ah no there isnt what rom u on ?

Gingerbread is going to have Skype video calling built in. It should start arriving on the 30th.

alot of people actually believe that to be a fake "leak"

Now what about Google talk video chat? I have it, and it shows a camera next to my name, but doesn't show my fiance's as having video capabilities when I look at her name on my list. We both are running the same ROM and when looking at her list she has a camera next to her name but not mine. We both have it checked to allow video chat in the preferences.

i think it only works on some roms. I see the same thing when testing a chat from pc to phone and the pc will initially see the video but once initiated it will say the device isnt currently supported

Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?
RW

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

Do you know what i need to do if i want to use the back camera during video chat? There is no rotate funciton in gtalk like there is in Honeycomb

S2 LTE & Skype

Does Skype video work on the S2 LTE? I didn't find anything on here, but from what I've searched on Google, it doesn't seem to work for a number of people. What's the verdict here? Anyone on here that uses it themselves? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Skype works fine for me. The wifey sometimes will hop on my transformer while I'm at work and we'll have ourselves a video chat.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Works fine for me. I've only done it to a computer though, not another phone.

Thanks guys. But has anyone done from phone to phone? Or even more specifically, from the SGS2 to an iPhone 4?

Yes I routinely Skype to my family in the UK and they use the iPhone4. We have no issues at all, it works great!

How did you guys get the video to work. I tried Skype to a computer and no video just audio. Didnt even find how to turn on the camera.

Make sure you have video enabled in skype settings. The skyrocket isn't officially supported so you have to check the option to turn it on.

My brother and I both got skyrockets on the same day. Skype was one of the things we tested first. From skyrocket to skyrocket it works great.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I've tested between S2 LTE and iPhone 4 and it works fine. Quality isn't top notch, but it does warn you before hand that Skype isn't certified to work on the device, whatever that might mean.
