Video Messaging

I was just wondering, is there any developer who thinks this is possible.
Video Chatting on the G1. Kind of like Web Cam but for the G1. You call the person and connect to camera or something to that extent. Is that to out there or is it a possibility?

I think the biggest problem is no from camera. It would be retareded to have to flip the phone to aim the camera then turn over to see the responce. Instead of looking cool we would look lis a bunch of donkeys in the street...
but depending on the time might not be a bad thing

LOL! I completely forgot all about the camera angles.

what if we had an external webcam that plugged into the phone? neat idea .. but most definitely a battery hog .. don't forget this thing in your hand was built to make phone calls .. no need for video chat with the keyboard .. howabout video phone call?

I disagree, this is not just a phone. The RAZR was just a phone. The corded rotary dial phone your grandma uses... that's just a phone. This is a tool, and should be expanded upon in anyway we can. Technology is beautiful and ever changing. Never stop thinking of new ways to do things.

does G1 even support video messaging? like MMS? I dont think so..

The major problem that I've read about in a few phone call recording apps is the recording of the incoming voice.
I have "phone control" app on my sons phone to monitor his texts and incoming phone calls and if he's in a loud place I can only her his voice. So unless ur on speaker phone this or any other phone call recorder will not record too well.

Bro....poor kid.
Sent from my wildheroc using Tapatalk

EZ boys.... he wanted it cuz he's to tempted.
He's trying to stay sorta on a good track since hes very gifted in football at mission Viejo high school in California.
He had to many friends who F'd off and ruined their scholarships cuz of the extra curricular activities. So he figures the extra awareness will give him a better conscience.
And it only started cuz he did screw up... royally! And no details needed if u remember ur old days!
Then the coach gave him a new view of reality .... his future ..... he's either "in or out", its either a scholarship to a major football university or at a junior college. So he wanted "in" and wanted help.
So if ur into football, then u will know his high school is always nationally ranked so they get colleges watching all the time and they're games are on TV or streamed on FOX sports especially since they're latest quarterback Mark Sanchez is an alumni.
So u say "poor kid" or "let him live"... we do.... but he's the smart one who knows he needs the extra help.
So he's back on track and getting offers left and right!
Thank God for making him the smart one. And thanks to the dude who made the "phone control" app

[Q] Usage of Skype/Google Talk etc?

Has anyone tried using Skype and or Google Talk on their Transformer yet? If so, were you able to get voice and/or video working? This a big selling point for me (video chat). Any and all discussion around this is welcome. Thanks in advance.

I havnt tried but read my short review posted in the forum

yep, both work ok.. Skype voice quality is better.. but the app is buggy and lacks video (i hear there is an updated soon though).. video calling over gtalk worked well for me as well though..

Thanks for the replies. Glad to hear one app worked with video. As with all things software, time will make them better.

video chatting

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:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-droid-charge/342720-oovoo.html

Hey all,
Yea, I think I'm having the same issue.

Tango doesn't work, yahoo mess doesn't work. Fring DOES work!
Thanks for the help.

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?

[Q] Video call

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

LOL! Making phone with 2nd camera and not even bothering to add software option for video call? HAHHA Thats just lame! But I guess its for most "android" phones.

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.

Fanboy maybe...of the iPhone type perhaps?
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...
Which means making your post is a waste of time

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

2 megapixel front facing camera ain't shabby compare to other high end devices
The one x "superphone"...having a 1.3 mp....front face. Does that make it better than 2.0 without so called 720p?
