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
So i have repeatedly asked about the LTE toggle in the CM10 thread but does anybody have it working and if so what did you have to do to get it working. I know it worked in the beginning of CM10 development but no longer. Also is recording sound with video broken fully now. I have tried both the 4.2 Camera .apk and AOSP Camera port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611 to no avail. Is it something on my end regarding both of these or is it just broken functionality. BTW phone is running Ktoonz's latest kernel which i don't think should be a problem. Thanks for any info.
Hi everyone,
I am having an issue with my S3 receiving short videos via SMS/MMS. When I try to open the video via my messaging app (tried with both Go SMS Pro and stock), it just displays a still photo, but the audio plays. Also, the photo is very small and on the top of the screen. I'm aware of the stock messaging app giving people fits with a photo acting as a short, couple second video, but not in my case. It is the other way around, but the sound of the video plays, with a still shot photo.
I am on Clean Rom 5.5.1 with the latest version of LeanKernel.
Installed CleanRom 5.6 and the problem is gone. However, I doubt it was a problem with 5.5.1. Probably something I tinkered with and broke. All is well now.
Hello all, I am having a problem with the video camera on my phone. When taking video in "normal" mode it looks like it is way zoomed in, "Limit for SMS" mode has proper zoom as does regular camera. Is this normal? I cant get anyone into the frame in "normal" camcorder mode unless im 10 feet away. I have tried 2 different roms JB 4.1.1 and now Embryo 6.8 and its the same in either rom. Thanks in advance for any help.
Ok so recently ive been having issues with my MTS4G (it used to work fine so i dont believe its a rom issue) - but i am running KK DS1.2 - which is awesome. I still miss the original sense based camera and as such have set out on a missin to find the best camera app--- hence i have the stock KK camera (i.e. camera) as well as following apps installed:
1) Ucam
2) Focal
3) camera zoom
4) procapture
5) camera KK
Again dont think its the rom , but for 2 weeks now (ive had rom for say several months now) , but when i switch to camcorder (stock KK camera app) mode and preess record all i see is a "halo" around the record button, at which time the video being displayed on phone (which is supposed to be recording) freezes for a second, then resumes as if it were recording. but i see no recording notice, or any timer indicating its recording and the default app (on a good day) makes 0 (zero) byte mp4 files. Not sure where to start i see that KK DS 1.3 is out, but was hoping to figure out what might be the cause of the issue.
I do see that when i press the record , the LED fires up as it used to , but it just doesn't seem to record anything.
Perhaps i have too many camera apps (was trying to compare and find best one) - but my camera with all the apps works great, but after several months of using the camcorder (in ANY app) i cant get it to work at all --- the led light comes on, but it doesn't seem to record anything.
suggestions?
