Also, does the front facing camera work as well?
It works great. I use it a lot and never had a problem. I've never used the camera though so I can't comment on that.

Would you be able to test the FFC?
Front facing camera works fine with Skype.
only thing about skype for android is it doesn't delete your chat/call history
I noticed that Skype causes high battery drain. It's good and video calling works perfectly, however it's adviseable to shut it down when not using.
Yes, it drains a lot if there are staying as background service, the quality is acceptable of course with iPhone 4

Am I able to Skype with someone that is using an iPhone 4 while I use the Galaxy Note? Even if I want to use the FFC?
Yes you can, as the Skype supports FFC for both the devices and the quality is remarkable

I thought Skype for Android cannot be used to communicate with people using iPhone 4s. So you've tested this and it works?
i just made a video call awhile ago... No problem so far... just be sure to enable the video calling prompt showed in the first initialization....

that just sounds weird to me, but Skype is bought by Microsoft now, so anything is possible .
I tried Tango, it works with the Front cam too on both Note and S2.
After installing Skype, my phone keeps switching to Edge and had a couple of random rebooting.
Made a Skype video call from my Note to an iPod touch, Macbook Pro, and iPhone4. All working fine but noticed that the Note switches to landscape view during video calls.
Tried to find an option to make it work on portrait view. Otherwise it works great.
^^ It used to work in the portrait mode as well prior to the latest update. Now it defaults to and stays stuck on landscape. I think the app reads the Note's resolution and assumes that it's a tablet or something.

Okay. Not a deal breaker really but would still be nice to have the portrait orientation option.
Skype video on US AT&T version
Can anybody confirm that Skype video works on the AT&T LTE version?
Specifically, does the front camera work fro making a video call like the Iphone?
The skype video call works fine between iphone 4s and Galaxy note no probs at al, the network management is good and the call clarity is appreciated.
It works, but one complaint though is that the video from the other side does not scale or occupy the whole screen. Such a waste of space. I hope Skype addresses this in the next update.
skype work !!
tango work !!
google talk video chat work !!

Anyone using Tango app to do video calls with other platforms ie Iphone4? I tried with my gf's iphone4 today, I could see her but she see's my rear camera (no pun intended), my front facing camera does not work with this app =(
ya same problem here - and oovoo and fring do the same thing. QIK seems to work with the proper camera though.
yup same here. that was the first problem i ran into with this phone. just use a mirror in front of u. will probably get fixed soon tho with either with an update or the switch to gingerbread. not sure why the app doesn't recognize that there are 2 cameras which is the reason why we don't see the switch camera toggle normally located on the top right corner. i have a feeling its not tangos fault but with lg and their half-baked software.

do you know if there is qik for iphone4?
Reason being for this is G2X came out recently and developers at Tango just recently got their hands on it. You should be expecting an update shortly on it working though.

They have a private beta available now at Tango. You can sign up here

I got my invite yesterday, and I haven't tried it out yet, but from what I've read, it looks promising. I asked Randall at Tango if I could post the private beta apk on xda, and he said no, but I can post the link to let anyone apply for the beta.
hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?
Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.
Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?
Complete noob here so maybe I've missed something glaringly obvious, but how do you make a video call with the one s? I can't find any option for it and a google search only brings up ways to do it using an app or skype. My video call time comes out of my monthly calling minutes so when I'm travelling it makes sense to use it rather than skype as I have a capped data allowance and more minutes than I need.
Thanks
when you are calling someone, check options... is there any option for video call?

Nope, nothing there to initiate a video call. And then when in call I cannot find any option to turn on the camera for a video call. I've looked and looked (before and during a call) but I can't find any option to do so.
Ok I emailed HTC and asked and their response was:
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with making a video call.
I believe that the reason for this is because the phone does not make video calls via the normal phone function. It makes video calls using 3rd party software e.G. Skype etc. But as we do not support 3rd party software I would be unable to help you set this up. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Bit of a disappointment personally, but I suppose video calling isn't very popular so most people won't care. Still, was it really that difficult to add a video calling option/function?
But if your phone did support it, and not through a 3rd party app using internet, The receiver would also have to have the same set up right ?
And video calling isnt that popular.. Can you not speak with your provider and see if they can change the video call allowance into internet allowance instead ? Then you could use a 3rd party app like skype... Much more popular

Yes, but whilst I'm no expert, most phones I have come across with front facing cameras do support video calling and more importantly the people who I would be calling have this option on their phones.
Not to worry though, not a major issue. Just seemed a bit odd to me to put a front facing camera on there and not support it without a 3rd party app. I can manage and with all the free wifi hotspots I get access to through my package it shouldn't be a big issue.
i totally agree, It is a bit stupid to have the FFC, if they wernt gunna support video calls, they could have removed the camera and added something else instead.
like a external sd slot. or a laser beam what kills people... who knows ?
I dont use video calling, I hate people looking at me im the sort of dude that walks in the shadows with a hood covering my face lol
Setup a Google Voice account and then you can do video calls to other users over Google Talk.
I was able to initiate a video call to the wife's One S using Google Talk on my Samsung Note 2 with no problem but the front camera image quality of the HTC is so bad the feature is useless. I found this thread while searching to see if others had better results. The image on the HTC is dark and grainy on the phone's own screen and is so pixilated after being transmitted to mine it totally useless , the Samsung's is crystal clear.

Considering they are the only mfgs to add said software.
Goggle+ works great and so does google voice which is a preinstalled app of android systems...

The front camera isn't actually that had. You just have to try to remove some dust from it. It's terrible design to hide the camera down there, it gets full of dust in no time

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Yup, same here. Sounds kind of like the artifacts you hear when you turn up a set of crappy speakers up too much - a static/crackling type sound. Seems to be isolated to skype too - sound in my other applications and normal phone calls are fine. I also have a friend with this phone who has the same skype issues.
Kind of surprised there hasn't been more posted about this issue actually. Hopefully it will be fixed with the next skype software update.
It actually crashed on me when i tried a video chat with my mom!
I think the reason is that One X is still not certified with Skype to run smoothly.
The same thing happens with my Xoom running Team EOS' ICS.
Just give it time. Skype will do an update pretty soon
I actually didn't have any issues like this. I video Skyped the first day that I got the phone and the only issue either of us had (me and the person I talked to) was that on her end the video and audio wasn't synced.
More to it, the video looks like **** too, after a while shows pink artifacts, and they grow in size, soon the whole picture become pink...On the other end they see me perfectly fine. Oh and their connection is 10mb/sec both ways...
Also one time the phone started ringing (skype) but nothing showed on the screen, not even in the notification bar. If skype used the same ringtone as the phone I would never guessed what's going on...
Skype as used be one of the buggies/resources hog/bloatware, as it is now, as it will ever be, it's not gonna change I guess. And yet, I'm using it...go figure.

Yep, I've got that problem too! I've tried a couple of different builds of Skype and still the audio is clipping, clicking, crackling all the time. To add salt to the wound, Skype sounds fine on my older SGS2.

tnx for sharing. I have had that issue before with my previous tab10.1 P7500. messenger works with video calling but image is sideways, but if you flip your cam the return it back using the front cam, your image will appear normal. ( i mean vertical, not sideways anymore). That is why I am really disappointed for replacing the old tab 10.1 with the new tab 2, even skype's video calling wont work. at least the OG tab video calling works. I just wish they could release a new plugin or fix soon for the video calling coz its making samsung's reputation really bad....

Yah, it looks like they released the device without testing for compatible apps for video and voice calling. even skype's video calling doesnt work either. they should start fixing these issues coz its already been months since the release of tab 2 and if this would take longer before it could be fixed, it could really give samsung a really bad impression to consumers. besides, they just won their case over apple, right?
salungat....can you tell me where you got the information from?
My customer has a custom app that uses the camera to take pictures and insert the pictures into a form for reporting purposes (home inspection app).
He is having all kinds of issues with the camera. Today, SAMSUNG support told him that, the "tablet was not designed to be used by an app that controls the camera".
This is complete BS in my opinion but I need more info to fire back at their support.
Thanks...
