I have the 2.3.6 Gingerbread update (stock, but rooted). Now, I received the G+ update today but still can get video chat going. Tested using both my wifi connection as well as 4g. I tested it against my pc, using my wife's g+ account - no dice. When I try to connect on my phone, it shows the video trying to initiate. That includes, the video on me (asking for me to check my hair before clicking "Hangout"). When I do, I can see myself in the little camera at the bottom, but the main screen - nothing).
FYI, i've contacted VZ tonight and specifically asked the tech of VZ is blocking video chat over 4g and he stated no... that this was one of the features of 4g (can't do it 3g - sorry face time).
What are your experiences?

Thanks for the response. I actually have the infinity rom as well but liked the stock update much better. A friend of mine is going to help me test mine out using the thunderbolt. If it still doesn't work,I'll revert back to the infinity rom.
Okay - so I tested on my existing config mentioned in OP with both:
1. Friend with Thunderbolt
2. My PC
Both work!

This allows to place calls on 3G, just install your current skype, then install that one.

You mean remove current right ? That is why I did and it works... how safe is this (for possible charges) ?
There isn't an actual Skype video for Sprint users...Verizon users have it available......Skype needs to get on the ball bc love the service. Yahoo messenger also does video/calling. I haven't tried it but it has similar features over WiFi.
Although Skypes main feature is to call over 3/4G.....

I tried this on CM7 RC4 and it failed! I even did it both ways....I left the one I downloaded from the market installed and try to replace it with the one you attached and NOTHING....then I uninstalled the market one, used root explorer and deleted the folder in data/data, rebooted and installed the one you attached and NOTHING.....it FC everytime I go into it! Is the one you attached only work with 2.2 or what??
Remove current skype and install attached.. worked for me. Like said still no video so try ooVoo messangesupports video over 3G

I've tried Tango and to me its not that great. So I switched back to Qik.....so far that's the better app at least until Skype allows the video syreaming....like said its on Verizon.
Does anyone have a Droid on VZ? I wonder if the signed app that talks to Skype can be used on other Droids to allow Skype video to work? Just an idea

Verizon users do not have that upgraded skype that was shown a month ago, unless they are hiding it. Its not on the xoom and its not on the thunderbolt also its not in the vzw market

Skype_3g.apk works great on my Evo over Sprint 3g.
Ok, now a question on legality. I know most wouldn't care, and I realize that in this case absolutely nobody is getting hurt (Sprint doesn't care, I checked. Skype couldn't care, b/c it means more business for them. Verizon may care, b/c now they lose their exclusivity with Skype on 3g versus Sprint, but I wouldn't have switched to them, regardless.) But isn't my downloading and using this modified version of Skype a violation of Skype's eula?
"2.3 No Modifications: You will not undertake, cause, permit or authorize the modification, creation of derivative works, translation, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or hacking of the Skype Software or any part thereof except to the extent permitted by law. "
Can anyone re-hack the skype app version 1.0. 0.0. 831

No, that's awkward. I'm on CM7, and it installs without issue and runs perfectly fine.
Yep this works. CM7.

I forgot about that one +1
The voice wasn't working for me. The video was but I could only see their video, they couldn't see mine.
EDIT: Scratch that. Voice works both ways. Video still only works one way and I still don't appear to the user to have voice/video capability, but I can call them.
It installs okay for me. Running superaosp v6.2, but the voice chat options are grayed out. Maybe because of my rom?
Edit: okay now it's working. Weird.

If you have a 2.3 rom on it, it might. It seems 2.3.4 might be required for it to work 100% though. If you are running 2.2.x or lower, it won't work since it uses the new camera API in Gingerbread.
Does this enable me to dial to any phone number using my Google Voice account (ie no cell phone minutes) similar to the function in Gmail on a PC?
I think it works only on WIFI. If I try calling someone on mobile data, it asks for WIFI connection. Anybody else having this issue. Sorry if I am missing something very basic here ( CM 7.0.2)

just look at the link in the OP:

No voice nexus one
Tried several versions on my nexus one:
gtalk1.3.nowifi.ffc-signed.zip
JVQ_Talk2_v1_2.zip
talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip
used adb to install
All claim to be talk1.3
But I don't see any voice icon, and in a chat, selecting 'more' shows voice chat is grayed out.
I DID enable voice/video.
Only thing I can think of is I'm on 3g, not wifi ATM. But several of these versions should allow voice on 3g, right?

Skype
Thanks for the link...I am an avid skype user and will be trying this out.
I'm running eclipse 1.2 and it works but there send to be a issue with the volume even all the way up in my charge I can barely hear them and they can not hear me at all. And yes I checked to see if we had muted each other lol. If any one knows a correction for this I appreciate it. and this was from charge to pc, haven't tried phone to phone yet.
Swyped on my eclipsed charge
works great for me.
Charge running debloated Ginger.
install.
Run and log in.
Force camera on.
Then you will get a black screen.
Restart.
Video call someone. Switch camera to front. You will get a black screen.
Restart.
Then all is well.
Can switch back between face and forward after that with no issues.
Working on STOCK Droid Charge here.
I was only getting video both ways and receiving audio at first, but after tinkering around with the settings this is now working for me on stock.
Tested only with desktop skype.
Looks like Skype was just updated to allow official video calling on a few devices, and the Charge was one of them.
Doesn't seem to work with the front camera though -_- At least I haven't found a way.

Same here.
Humble Froyo
I was able to video call my coworker's iphone4 using the front camera. No issues, really.
I think HIS connection dropped, which ended the call. Haven't tested since then.
Apparently you must be on gingerbread in order to be able to use the front camera on the updated skype.
Get this, I called my dad using video calling, both on 3g and wifi, and the camera booted up and when it connected the camera shut off and I was in normal call mode, anyone think of whats up with that?

cm7 and google + hangouts
cm7 does not provide support yet for front camera so you won't get the option to join a hangout. If you go to a site like Gphangout.com and try to join using google+ with cm7 you will get that error about not having a front facing camera. I switched to the GB Leak from Android Police and everything works great now. It is easily rooted too. Did both mine and the wifes TB, took maybe 10 minutes a piece to load, root, and load clockwork recovery.
Good Luck.

There is one version that is actually working on SK4G. Found it somewhere here, on XDA, but can't remember original thread. Hope it's OK to post external URL here: http://xdjh.info/ftp/share/apk/skype_for_SK4G.apk
You need to set 'Use MODE_ON_CALL' in 'Tweaks', audio works fine with that. Both cameras works too. I've tested this software on RAGE firmware - everything works.
