Hi guys, i'm pretty familar with most of the ROMS available for the G-Tab and so far between calks, vegan 5.1.1, vegan ginerbread, and CM7 all have not supported the popular Tango app that i use on my epic 4g when I want to video chat with my family. Does anyone know of an app that is compatible with the G Tablet that allows you to video conference with other android phones or Iphones?
ReelPortal - good try for the developers but just wasn't on par with Tango
Qik- haven't tried but is it really working on all Roms? or just some
Yahoo Messenger- Supposedly this works but does anyone know if you can chat with Iphone 4 users?
If you have been able to get Tango to work, did you #1 have to edit your build.prop in the market fix to call other users?
#2 which rom are you using?
#3 Is the video still sideways as reported in a thread back in December?
hi! i use a lot skype to work, and i was really surprised that Galaxy Tab 10.1 cannot download skype!
anyone could find a way to download it and make use of the dual camera function on their gtabs?
any apk?
thanks!
Works fine on mine although I haven't tried video yet, just audio.
there's no Skype for Android that supports the video chat just yet.

there is a cracked version that supports some HTC Thunderbolt roms/radios
i was able to download skype, audio support only, no video features yet but its ok, i can live with that
Bump. Any update on this? Has anyone been able to provide a cracked version of Skype speficially for the Tab?
So are there any uses for the front facing camera at this time?
Hard to believe that Skype has not yet come out with a video version for Android!
Skype with video does work with select android devices. I had it working with my old 7 inch Galaxy Tab but not with the new one. No one has been able to get it to work in Honeycomb yet.

He's right. I have Skype with videochat working on my Samsung Epic, doesn't work for my 10.1 though.
I desperately wish Skype (or something) would work. My GF lives in the Philippines and it'd be great to be able to walk around the house and whatnot video chatting from the GTab.
Use the google talk app. That has decent video chat capabilities.
Google talk has video support.

Not true. It has come out for many devices, just not honeycomb.

There is a modded version of the video skype apk for "other" devices around these forums somewhere. (search it). BUt it requires neon/vfp or somesuch not supported by the tegra2 cpu.
Skype and tegra2
check this youtube video, sorry i am new and doesn't allow me to post the link,
go to youtube and type in the search bar, skype for Tegra 2.
You will see a nvidia tablet running honeycomb 3.0 running a video conference, no idea where to get that apk, but obviously is around.
if somebody find it please pass around and send me a message
any news on this? I don't like google talk.
I tried the Skype on my galaxy tab 10.1 ...no video...
From engadget
Skype 2.5 for Android brings video calls to 14 new devices, including Honeycomb tablets
Dont have the tablet in hand right now. Anyone tried it?
Doesn't work for me.
Edit:
It does work. Had to enable video calling in the settings.
Was wondering about this. May need to try it and see what it's like. Been looking for a video chat app that works well.
mine working too. just enable the video function under the setting menu.

Works but front camera sucks
It works for me but needs LOTS of light for people to see me.
So I just picked up the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for my mother and it came with a neat little app called video edit... it works great and I know I've seen an app out there called movie edit and tried that on my Flyer but just doesn't seem to work correctly. I also tried AndroMedia Video Editor its not bad but a little unattractive. Is there anyway to get the app off the Samsung Tab to work on the Flyer? Or does anyone else have an app they like that works well?
I got it to work on the flyer kinda. I used the app from the 10.1 and it was not sized correctly. I was able to edit video and add in music but the colors where off. So yes I was able to use it, but no it was not truely functional
Hi, I just got a samsung smart tv and after the salesman told me i could control it with 'any' smartphone i was disappointed to find the samsung remote app is incompatible with my XS on google play however after a bit of googling i found an apk and installed it but it dosent run fullscreen.
Is there a modded version of this app that is fullscreen? or is there some way to force a resolution so it will be fullscreen?
If not could someone point me in the right direction to modding this app into fullscreen?
Thanks for any help :fingers-crossed:
Finally found a version that is fullscreen, its called samsung smartview instead of remote (hence why it eluded my searches) :victory:
Its 40mb so i cant upload it to xda but this is where i found it

Hope this helps anyone else suffering the same issue (works like a dream on S3 too)
Try an XDA wide search. There should be some other phones with the app that have tried to get it working. I wish my Sony TV had wifi so that I could use the remote app to control it, but I didnt wanna pay 700 dollars for the version with wifi.
I have done that and I only found either versions that don't work or that still pose the same problem.
Thanks anyway
No Solution?
I presume from the lack of replies that this obviously cant be done. Shame.
hmm it's compatible from play on my U thats weird =\
or is this not it?

Sorry I don't follow..
If your TV sonehow can connect to Ibternet WiFi/Cable (LAN) than you just connect your phone to the WiFi (Same network of course) and voila!Tried it,worked fine on mine and I also have the Samsung TV.

The S3 has the same issue, due to the resolution of the screen.
on play it says this: 'This app is optimized for WVGA(800*480) resolution screen.
The app may not display properly in HVGA(320*480) or QVGA(240*320) resolution.'
What i want to know is there some way that this can be worked around or will i just have to put up with the screen not being filled. check the screens' to see what i mean.
Its compatable with the U as its resolution is 854x480 so it'll work wheras the S is 1280x720
