New Google + and videocalls - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

New release of google + allows to make videocalls. Ok audio and video almost ok, only rotation issue (as skype). And we have to put the phone in landscape mode to the left, if we put vertical (portrait) restarts the mobile! reboots (as gtalk and yahoo messenger)!!
Anyone can take a look? Now with video calls always exists problem with the rotation .... We will never videocalls in i9003?

i understand ur passion. Vdo calling is not working in rotation mode is a different issue. But i think at least u are getting a 'working' vdo calling. You should at least happy upon that...!

vishal.... working??? in a videocall between 2 i9003, the rotation issue is double, and do you can make a videcall if the image of the other person you see upside down? I can't, to make a videocall, I want to see the other person with correct orientation, not upside down... And if your device reboots after you put your device in vertical mode, its working? I don't think.
In landscape mode = image upside down = rotation issue.
Phone in vertical mode = reboot.
Can I be happy?
It'a step, but not the solution

Install using rot explorer gtalk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388449
And for hangouts... install google+ and swicht camera button on messenger app from goggle+

Could you try it on the latest CM?
Waleed had got the cameras working fine except for video recording, so there is a chance that it would work.

I confirm the portrait issue.
BTW program crashes (no reboot) in portrait also disabling video but remaining in hangaout with only audio on.
Maybe it's an issue due to unstable GB?

it was working properly in portrait and landscape but only the back cam was working but i was able to see the other side properly and not upside down --- after i updated the yahoo messenger it became ugly !!!!!
it reboots in portrait mood
and also i see the other side rotated
so it's not an issue with our phone it's the prog. itself

Try Tango, works perfect

Edit: yes tango totally working conform. Make a pc to phone call.

Skype Video for G2X - Works Now - Download from market :-)

Finally,
Its available now.
Update your skype and enable it from the settings.
By default the Video is "off". So you will need to go the skype settings and enable it from there.
The Quality of the video is not that great but well its a start
I tried it on my G2x running CM7 nightly 151 and couldn't get it to transmit any video -- wouldn't even display locally on my screen in the little window that comes up in the lower left corner. I tried front and back cameras and even disabled video and re-enabled it. Still nothing. It may work on stock and may even work on later nightlies, I dunno. Google Talk video chat works fine for me so maybe Skype requires some updated libs?
Just passing on my experience.
I see that the front camera orientation while video calling is upside down. Anyone to confirm my observation???

I have the same thing going on as you, except I'm on Weapon G2x (2.3.3 Rom), it said skype wasn't 'officially supported' on my phone though. Nice to see it's almost there though

True, but if you turn the phone in landscape mode the video will be in the correct position.

Not just landscape mode, you gotten disable rotation and zooming to make video work properly? Anyone receive a SMS through carrier while on video chat and and video get distorted? Mines did but MAYBE because I wasn't on wifi, my thought only..

realized that in a skype conversation. my Phone is now complete!
Just tried it on a Froyo rom and I saw my wife's video feed for like 3 seconds and then it made my phone reboot. So close ... yet so far.
I think one of the android blogs mentioned that it was only good for landscape.
I tested everything on Stock 2.3.3 and the only thing for video to show up correctly is in landscape mode. Leave the auto-rotate checked, it doesn't fix anything. Picture is so-so but at least FFC works which is better than nothing...
Interesting how they rolled it also out to the Nexus One (works and looks great) yet no FFC so what's the point? LOL
Nice! not great but something is better than nothing

GTalk Video for i9003

Hi, I've been trying to have video calls to our mobile with any app, and version 1.33 of gtalk of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 works halfway. http://www.multiupload.com/ZIC4YI1F3Y I install it, using root explorer, (talk2.apk to system/app and rename as talk.apk, and /system/lib/libtalk_jni.so)
Send video well (only rotation issue) with the front camera but only if we put the mobile in landscape mode turning to the left, in vertical mode, i9003 reboots. But doesn't send sound. The same happens in the hangouts of google +, vertical phone = reboot, landscape to the left = rotated video and no sound but not reboot.
Can somebody try to finish to port for our i9003 Gtalk video?
I know youve been waiting for this feature. Jusy leave as it is for today and maybe later well all have it.

I tired with a PC videocall, and for the first time, its works!!!! Later I will try between two i9003, and I will post the results, because I think with the front camera exists rotation issue, but I'm not sure, I only tried in a videocall between mi i9003 and my PC. But It's a big big step to have fully functional videocall in ours i9003!!
I'm very happy!!
so ffc work dats gud i am happy

yes today is a important day for me, but what about rotation? Do yo have problem with rotation between 2 i9003? I think if exists rotation issue, one party has to put the mobile in horizontal and the other part in vertical mode, and I think that would solve the problem of rotation
i didnt try yet
Sent from my GT-I9003
Only exists rotation issue, but exists, I have tried between 2 i9003. If somebody can mod skype to can to change rotation, it will work perfect
Audio OK, and both cameras work, not black screen, not zoom issue, not green flickering, but only exists rotation issue. Always happens and I tried more than 15 times. If somebody can activate the rotation swicht as on galaxy s2 (don't appear the zoom and rotation options), I will fix the issue manually, and It will work perfect on our i9003. Please, look this theme. In my device doesn't appear rotate camera option, and I am on 2.6.0.75
The option:
I tried it
Works like a charm
works well...but have rotation issues
Works wonderfully rotation issue is solved after 2-3 seconds in video call just put the phone in portrait mode after the video call is established.............
during a videocall between 2 i9003, not solve, rotation issue, exists
thx all for your help

[i9003][video_chat][g+_hangout] Working for anyone?

Latest G+ update "FULLY" enables video hangout on mobile devices. Which means, now you can initiate a video conference over G+ using your phone
Now I remember sometime back on some ROM, I'd managed to see the video streaming up from my phone. But now I'm on vanilla DDKP2. It reboots as soon as the streaming starts. I mean.. FFC preview starts alright, but when we say "Join Hangout", it'll reboot.
Anybody here getting a different result? I'm sure there's a lot of people on lot many different ROMs. I really want to know which ROM could possible support this feature. This might be the first break-through for our phone !
Got it.. Start hangout with Rearview Cam preview, and later switch to FFC. Works We DO HAVE a break through

Sorry but it doesn't true. hangouts works if you put the phone in landscape to the left, and work both cameras, but appears a problem sending your image rotation, rotation issue again.... And if you put the device in portrait mode (vertical), phone reboots. At the moment, hangouts doesn't work.
100 % tested
Can any one report this issue to google+ team ?

Front Camera rotation

Hi guys,sorry if this has been asked before but is there anyway to flip for the front camera for apps like Snapchat so you can use filters and videos without them being upside down. Thanks:good:

Cheers for the suggestion but as per the above it doesn't work for Snapchat. Doesn't seem that there is any solution at present. Pity because everything else about the phone is super.

Yeah sure Snapchat could add the functionality but would be great to get a workaround.
I have a little trick, but I dont know if it works with Snapchat, but it works with Instagram, and Facebook, which I use both.
1. Unlock the screen rotation.
2. Open Facebook.
3. Turn your phone 90° so Facebook will be in landscape mode.
4. Turn your phone again 90° so Facebook App will be upside down.
------ 90° each, because sometimes turning it 180° doesn't work
5. Lock the screen rotation.
6. Open Instagram. It is now upside down, and selfie camera for stories now work normally.
HTH. I also hope this works with other apps.

With this method snapchat rotates the whole camera feed so in the end it comes up upside down. I think it's snapchat's fault, we would need a modded version or a proper update for our phones.
