I wonder if ever, we'll be able to use our front camera as a web can on certain apps. Like Paltalk, or any video chat apps like that

You can already do that with apps such as Skype

2nd that. Fring worked great on my original EVO with the front facing camera. video chatted a few times over fring with friends on their iphones. And I think you could video chat over 3g using fring.
Thanks guys. I didn't even know fring had a chat app. I use it for video calling. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s 2.. I guess what I really meant was on websites as well. But really I just want it to work on Paltalk BC that's one chat I actually do use because I listen to the Opie and Anthony show on there all week. Other than that I don't go in chat rooms much. Not really at all. But thanks for the answers.
yeh.i'm on ur side!

Question: Does tango video chat work? Or even fring video chat?? Qik sucks... and to think skype bought them. Good luck skype.
not work with the front camera. and un-able to switch.
super slow!( in same city)
Market comments for Tango suggest that they will release an update for g2x support. As it is, everything works except initiating the forward facing camera, lol.

Hope the update comes out soon...

It works to record and send video mail. Unfortunately, the only person I know who has a front-facing video camera that I would want to video chat with is on an iPhone 4, and the Qik software on iPhone and Android are mutually incompatible at the moment. They say they are working on a fix, expected sometime "around the middle of April" (which, in case anyone hasn't looked at a calendar in a while, has come and gone). Oh, well, I'm sure it will be RSN...
I've tested qik with another fellow g2x user not bad, but1.3 mega pixel sucks

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you all know that Tango is aware of the front facing camera issues on the G2x. Our engineers are investigating the issue and we hope to release a fix for this soon. We have not forgot about you guys
Stay tuned!
Ive tried fringe with no luck, even tried yahoo video with same results. Only app I know of right now that supports g2x front facing cam is qwik. Its not a bad software just not particulary great.

I think skypes video chat is alot better than gtalks
I installed Skype thinking I could enjoy video chatting, but it tells me that if I have Froyo that I can only use the main camera, not the secondary. Are there any apps that make use of the secondary cam of the Triumph for the purpose of video chat?
You can use yahoo messenger it works pretty well

I don't have the Triumph (yet) but try Fring or Tango.
Tango works on the Triumph.
anybody used triumph for video chat using front facing camera? how is the quality?
I used Tango last week with my brother (he was using a MyTouch 4G) on 2 bar 3g coverage. Video quality looked great. Audio quality was inconclusive on account that he was chatting from a party at a bar. lol

video quality is pretty good with tango but the sound was terrible phone to phone, weird crashing sounds in a perfectly quiet room
Tango works fine for me

That's true for Google Talk Video... but not for Tango. I am running Tango perfectly on a rooted Triumph 2.2
As soon as CM7 is ported for the Triumph, I will install Google Talk Video!!!

THANK YOU! Works great for me
Tested it one a couple of separate calls, and both were surprised by the quality of the video. Thank you so much for the great hack.
Tango works for me, with decent coverage that is. Usually can't hear the other person though.

What makes this different from the one on the Market? I haven't had a chance to try out any video calls, but it seems to be the exact same and still tells me that 2.2 won't let me use the front-facing camera.

That works well! Exactly what I wanted. Do you know if anyone is going to re-release this mod with the next version of Skype?

Except that there is another settings menu that will let you choose your front facing camera. It works well, and I thought the same thing at first until I had done a little poking around and found the added menu.

Oh ok cool. I had looked but didn't see anything. I'll have to try that out.
I tried Tango and it rawks. I am long distance dating a woman in Australia, and Tango allows us free calls (international rates are insane), AND video using my front camera. I am very pleased.

maybe your phone is too close to your face.. thats why..
What is the best video chat app for the One S? This is my first phone with a front facing camera, so i've never video chatted before. Qik isn't available for this phone and skype doesn't get good reviews. so what's the best?
I use google talk, its a bit better than what it used to be. I'm dying to try the google+ hangouts
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Although some have, I have had no issues with Skype calling my son. Was on wifi.
Google Talk is much better than Skype, I haven't found one better yet, and I've been looking since I got my G2. Only drawback is the other person has to have a google account to, but they're free so why not
I use google+ hangouts. So much better than skype, oovoo, or even google talk. Quality wise there is differences too.
