I use Qik. It seems to be the only correctly working video call/chat app.

Tango's front cam doesnt work properly, it shows it sideways and zoomed.

I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.
"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:
- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that
- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.

if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.
Use Qik Video Connect.

So Qik is the only option? Does that work for video chat to a computer or iphone?

Yea, I've already emailed tango about the issue. They are aware and have a fix on the way. My friends galaxy s 4g had the same problem til tango fixed it.

They sent me a new version of Fring, based on the files I sent, and...
...still uses the wrong camera. I replied with the results. Maybe they'll get it right next time.

I wish that was in English, I'm pretty sure there was something important in it somewhere.

Just tested Qik. Called my friend who was using an Atrix 4g. The call was great. It used the right camera on the Infuse 4g. Love the app now.

Im basically the odd one out in family using non iphone4. They using fring flawlessly but i just cant get the feont cam to work, otherwise the sound and back camera is great quality. Just d/loaded qip and hope it'll work.

Video calls

Guys, how can I make a video call with the Sensation?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

I would imagine it's no different than any other phone... Just use a video calling app. Qik, oovoo, tango, yahoo, et al.

Thanks mate! I thought that the function is integrated within HTC dialer.

It would be nice to see a way to make regular 3G video calls. I mean these video calls every non-smartphone device with a front camera can do over 3G. The only known android phone that implements this is the Galaxy S.

Yes, that would actually be great. Is there a way of making regular 3G video calls?

No video calling and Microsoft just bought them out. I doubt we'll see it soon unfortunately.

I downloaded Skype and I haven't figured out how to make a video call yet (just voice). I'm guessing I have to use the Qik app that came with the phone...problem is not many of my friends use Qik...they use Skype. Kinda disappointing

As stated above, Skype does not support video calls for mobile yet. I heard they are working on it, but who knows how long it will take with Microsoft taking over. It'll show up on WP7 before we see it at this point.

You sure he doesn't have a custom Rom on his mt4g? Cause tango for me works perfect.

If you go to Skype's website it says that mobile video calling will be available for Verizon's LTE 4g network soon. I hope it's not exclusive just to Verizon users.

What's the difference between this and Skype? I've made alot of videocalls on Skype and at least I can call friends on PC. What's the benefit of having Fringe installed? It's something like Whatsapp but for video calls as I see.
I understood that OP wants to make a 3G Video call...not a video call through whatever data connection it's active on the phone(including 3G). From my understanding that is a video call service that's depending on the operator. Vodafone is offering that in RO, I belive it's available for other countries/operators as well. And that means you can video call someone by his phone number
The service is described better HERE

Exactly rapier......
I meant the video calls through mobile network..... Not through internet....... Evn many java phones does this...... Y cant our much much advanced smart phones do this....??
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I find gtalk smooth.
Think you can install gtalk with videocalls for desire s if you're rooted
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Other option is if you both have the viber app
Plus Skype and fring as others have mentioned

I am in the same situation... I want to use this service too, but I started to think that is impossible with android phone. I had three phones with Android so far, but none of them have this option.....

As I saw, phones with 3G video call have a dedicated buton for this. This is not the case with our Android phones.
I called my operator now (Vodafone) and I got the confirmation. Android phones are not compatible with this service. Only phones that have a dedicated video call buton and are listed on the operator's compatibility list can use this service

3G native calling is not supported by Android. Only Samsung and LG android phones support it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

I was searching for this some time too. Unfortunately only apps like Skype or Fring are making this possible on my Desire S, but the client has to be installed on the other person phone too and this is a bit limiting. This is my only dissapointment of Android so far but I am finding it strange to have this service natively supported on my 2008' Nokia but not on my 2011' smartphone.
I truly hope that someday someone will suddenly share a nice way do make videocalls through the mobile network with Desire S

Tango is a very good video call app

olyloh6696, you just opened this thread. Could it be exactly what the OP here wanted? I just recall, when I was using Edymion ROM, that I had that video camera buton but never tried to use it. It could be the equivalent of the hardware "video call" buton on some phones for making 3G calls. Someone with sense rom could eventually try it

I have it on Virtuous too. But how can we add recipients there?

You shouldn't add recipients...sorry cause I don't have the ROM installed to try, but I suppose that button works identical with the normal "call" button, just that it is a video call instead. The person you are calling should support the video calling feature and have the service active from the operator in order for it to work. The way it should be used is by selecting a person from your contacts, then call using that video buton instead of the normal call button

Ah thanks! That clears it up! Cheers

I'm on Syn-r50 as well.. You're using a hard wire not bluetooth correct? (as they had some problems previously with bluetooth that should be fixed now)
Does your Headphone mic not pick up (aka using mic in phone) or is any mic not working when you plug them in?
Cheers.

its been a big issue I've seen everywhere, a lot of headphones with controltalk don't work for calls and all. I've been going through headphones trying to find some that do. I'm now using the iBeats by Dre that come with the HTC Rezound and can confirm they work 100%. I'm running Synergy 1.7

It's hard wire I believe it can pick up and it pauses music but the call go to the phone

Yeah may be a question for the more technical savvy ROM people, there could be some drivers that never got included needed for the whole headohone thing.

I have this issue with my stock rom and its annoying as hell. Don't want to dish out the $$ for a BT piece and I love my handsfree bose wired headphones w/mic. It worked fine on my other phones but not on the S3, which seems to be a common issue. I wonder if anyone has gone to Verizon about this? I might swing by their store tomorrow.

I am on stock non rooted (yet) and I can tell you that my Skull Candy 50/50 can't be used for calls. Music listening only. But the headphones provided with the GSIII work. So based on what I'm reading, only certain headphones are compatible for calls.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Please

The thing is it records from speaker and not from line....
To simply put it, it records your voice only through the mic and the other person voice that is heard from the ear piece to the our Mic (you know how low it is)..and it modifies it somehow...
[It won't work if you stand in heavy traffic and speak]
So... other person voice is low... and it doesn't record actually from the line...
To prove my point, just plug in ear(head) phones while speaking and reduce your call volume, so that nothing can be heard outside except through the ear(head)phones..and try to record.

Sorry...I forgot...I used to record after plugging in the earphones.
with earphones plugged in, the recording is quite satisfactory.
without them the sound is very low.

i have same question :good:

Well I think we dont need to record each and every call. So we can just plug in the headphones for the calls which we want to record and use app. It works well with headphones.

We can't carry headphones everywhere we go.. especially in the work place
