Tango and Fring both die if I try to video chat with them.
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-review
This review of the Atrix mentions video chatting. What are they talking about? How did they do it?
And is there something that will let me video chat with iPhone 4s?
for now QIK seems to work between my girlfriend's atrix and my evo.
TANGO was the only way to video call an iphone, but I'd expect a software fix too.
Isn't there a Qik on the iPhone?
i am pretty upset about this too. went out and bought the wife an iPhone 4 lastnight and 2 weeks ago got myself an atrix. come to find out this isnt possible.
i wish there was a simple hack to allow facetime on the Atrix or something.. this serious sucks.
This is a lil annoying I've been carrying around my iphone 4 with me as well to fill my non video chat void.
Qik now supports iphone (see qik.com/video/100699 and qik.com/phones). Let us know if you can video chat Atrix to iphone with it. I'd be curious to know that it works okay. (Also, Skype bought Qik recently.)

Qik seems to be the best option right now and it did have an Iphone client at one point.
Until Skype opens up video calls on the android platform, not much can be done.
This purely sux. My wife has iphone 4 and I sold my iphone 4 to get atrix. Now I cannot do video at all.

nvm i didnt read
yeah.. i'm waiting for something to happen to this too. I heard the Tango owners are workign on .. :T
ohnoez! muh fays timzes is borked!!!11!1!!111juan!!
>insert threads to say people are returning the atrix cause it cant video chat yet<
but seriously, people this phone isnt even a month old yet. do you think apps just magically work? Developers have to take time to bugfix per device. I am sure Tango is diligently working on a fix. As for now I qik'd with a buddy on an evo and plan on testing it with an iphone tmw.
Yahoo
Yahoo Messenger supports video chat (with iPhones).
The problem with the android client is lack of support for front facing camera.. which sorta defeats the purpose, I suppose.
That is, unless I am missing something, of course.
Edit:
Apparently if you open the camera app and change it to front facing, you can do front facing video calls.
i was thinking of getting the atrix because of the front cam. i would be disappointed to find out that yahoo im video didnt work. i hope yahoo im gets updated for the atrix.
So Qik Plus was released for iPhone. It's $2.99 on app store.
Articles around the net say the Qik for Atrix should work with Qik Plus for iPhone. But when I dial my fiancees iPhone it says we have incompatible versions. Both are most recent version.
Her phone is on iOS 4.2.1 not 4.3, wondering if that could be the issue. Otherwise I'm not sure what's up.

Personally, I'm using Tango on my Atrix to my girlfriend on an iPhone. Mostly, it works. Occasional audio dropouts, but usually pretty good.
Not sure why everyone's saying Tango doesn't work?
Because apple does facetime and there really is no standard for video chat, we will probably get to deal with these problems for a while.

I read the "requirements" for the app on iTunes and said it was compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPad. So that probably means there isn't going to be cross-platform support

Sorry for long link I just did a quick search, this is what I was referencing. Saw it a couple other places too.

Is there anyone who can confirm this works? My fiancée has an iPhone 4 and I would gift her the app so we can actually video chat.
Maybe they will update to add compatibility with atrix because qik for atrix is still fairly new.
I downloaded Tango and it seems to be working ok. Sometimes one persons audio won't come through, but not bad for a free app.

This was one of my favorite apps and of course the new GB update totally messed up this application. I spent a few weeks muddling through without it and then the 3D came out so I now have that phone but I really would like to have this app working again. Is there any chance that anyone is working on this????
I know that whoever was working on it just dropped it like a hot potato but it would be really nice if someone would post some kind of update or inform us that the Wimax Notifier has taken it's last breath.
It was an awesome app. It reminded me of BerryBuzz for Blackberry and I would pay to have an app to work like that for my Evo......
I loved that program too for my evo. I have the 3d now and I'm guessing there isn't even a 2nd. Notification light but man i wish we could make it blink a different color for txt, Email, etc... Very handy to have

Wimax Notifier!
I"d also love to have this app working on my E3D
Reminded me of berrybuzz also I do miss it a lot. **** I wish it would even flash for longer than 5 min.

My kids will be staying with the grandparents for a week and I wanted to know the best video chat solution with an iphone 4. G-chat had the best video quality but no sound. Yahoo had the best sound but I couldn't use my front facing camera. Skype didn't work but the only thing that worked was tango but it was extremely poor quality. Any suggestions?

GTalk doesn't have sound? If you use the new one it should.
I believe Tango works between Android and iPhone too. Can't remember though because everyone I know I've pretty much switched to Android LOL
Fring is pretty good

I forgot about fringe, but I am on the new G-talk so maybe it's an iphone thing. I'll try fringe tonight

Tango.........
Tango is pretty good however search this forum for the ymessenger ffc working thread it works on mine.
i used Qik
Tango works good for my atrix to wife's iphone 3gs.

well since 80% of the people who replied didn't read the OP when they said that Tango was bad quality (and thus NOT what they were looking for...)
I suggest Qik. I always felt it was more stable and the interface was better. However you will have to install the non-Atrix version ("Qik Video Connect" rather than "Qik for Atrix") if you want to use it between Android and iOS, and to do that you must be running Gingerbread (2.3.4) otherwise the front camera won't work.
If that doesn't work, try Fring. Otherwise, there aren't many other options.
Hi, I just got a Photon "not Root" also I have the EVO 4G "Root", I want to use the Gtalk video chat but:
On the Photon I can't enable voice or video, On the EVO the video is sideways (known problem).
I installed on them Qik and:
On Photon the video is sideways. Is any setting i don know about it?
Before I Root Photon had any one Gtalk working fine?
try vtok
works well for google video calls
also tango seems to not have the sideways issue

When the Photon gets home I'll give it a try.

I hope we'll get straight on Gtalk,
Fring works well if you're interested in other options.
I have the same problem. I use GTalk w/video to see my daughter who lives 2,000 miles away, and was dissapointed to find that the Photon didn't have video capabilities. Vtok does work, but uses a lot of resources, and freezes up completely after 20-30 minutes. After it freezes, a hard boot is necessary. I've used it on every device I own/have owned (EVO 4G, EVO 3D, FLYER, SGT1) and the problem persists throughout. ROOT w/mods seems to be the only way GTalk w/video will work.
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

i use to use fring, but now ive gone over to tango. runs very well between iphones, ipads, tabs and such. it took them about 3 weeks after the launch of the photon to push a release to read the photons hardware correctly. send an email to the software support with your issue and they should launch a release that will make compatible with the photon.

I'll send one to the Qik guys
, but Gtalk the one many really want, for many months is been developed.

Gtalk works in the 198 release that jugs posted in the dev section

Honestly, I think this is all VERY pathetic. Google needs to get its head out of its ass and fix google talk video for all of its latest android devices.
Clearly, the Photon has a front facing camera, but doesn't come with any software to use it out of the box. You have to go to the market and keep trying 3rd party software in the HOPE that it will work.
Personally, I think they should have fixed google talk video with the first update they rolled out.
I also have an iPad and it's a joke how easy Facetime works!
Wake up Google!
I don't know the way to go, I been testing almost every app for video chat and none one works as they should. :-(. Qik is a known sideways video problem. Vtok sound? Oh Good socks, and Gtalk we all know.

I installed build 198 and I have no outbound audio with Gtalk voice or video chat. Re-flashed twice--same result. Could be something else on my phone, but I don't want to hard-reset to find out until I learn more.
Hello Guys. When will there be a new Update to the official Facebook app?
The last one was 5 October. This cant be real...
Maybe they figured the facebook app is so crappy its not worth upgrading

I find it absolutely disgusting that we can't even call the official Facebook app decent. I ditched it a long time ago for Friendcaster Pro. It's way better but has an uglier UI imo. Do the Facebook app developers think so little of Android?

For me it would be okay if they release something which is comparable with the iphone version
It sucks to the max, cant even comment on status or photos... Using the mobile version...

Might be a good thing cause every time they do an update it get worst.
The facebook app is just a scam. Pathetic. The iOS version has always been better and ever since the iPad update, it's been way ahead. Practically every good popular app out there is more advanced for iOS. Look at foursquare for example....
This is so unfair. Ive read that the iOS Facebook app will become a new Interface and also the TImeline feature within the next 3 Weeks...
Friendcaster is 100 times better than stock facebook app. I just love it,, quick notifications plus superb screen display...easy scrolling,,, no laggg
But friendcaster has no embedded chat etc.
Lets hope this app becomes better soon..
