Has anyone found a video chat app that works??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
no not yet ... im new to this htc/droid stuff but im thinking they need to update all the apps for our phone .
i use yahoo messenger and it works ok
tango works and supposedly skype
Tango worked for me
I successfully used Tango with an iPhone user, but none of the other solutions worked.
I assumed Google Talk would work, but boy, was I wrong. I am almost a bit appalled that it was not ready, especially with no Skype. At least Skype was clear that they are working on something. Hopefully they will launch that for the Xoom at the same time.
Oovoo was an utter failure for me. Used the rear camera only and no sound.
Fring did not utilize video for Google Talk or MSN Messneger, so I didn't really try it.
I think if there is egg on Verizon's face, it is over not having a video chat service working for us.
i use tango, works pretty well, but for some reason get a screeching noise when tango'ing with another thunderbolt
Tango works for me. I was also able to make a video chat with a iphone that also had tango installed.

yeah what is up with that. Tango with iphone users work fine but with another thunderbolt and the audio doesnt work at all and makes crazy skreetching noises then mute.. kinda weird.
A video link was posted in one of the threads here, in which the presenter said that the SGSII "supports" Skype.
Was that a dumb person's way of saying it has a fraont facing camera? Or has anyone actually ready anything specific about the SGSII coming preloaded with Skype?
Just wondering...
I hope it has video enabled Skype preloaded... but probably it won't have.
Most probably the woman in the video had no technical skills at all and just said that because it has a front facing camera... we'll see.
In either case, Skype is available via the market place, does it not support front facing camera?
I don't own a Android device as of yet so do not know. Can anyone confirm?

Skype is available in the Android Market, however there isn't a video-call support for Skype as of now, on Android.
There are a few videos/articles floating about that there's a version of Skype designed specifically for the HTC Thunderbolt that supports video calling over 3G/4G.
Perhaps that's what the person would be referring to? That the particular version of Skype for video calling could also come with the S II. Anyway this part's just my speculation.
Thats BS, I use Skype on the iPhone to do a low of video calling with my clients, it would suck if I cannot do that any longer.
What a turn off.
Going to bump this, anyone tried installing skype on the new S2 to see if video works?
someone from my local forum said that Fring has video support for sgs2
I have skype installed. It doesn't appear to have a video call option.

I can confirm that, no video support in Skype it seems.
just audio calls on skype, no video option maybe soon in update?
Skype's days are numbered one way or the other ... or do you really think Microsoft is going to offer a competitive Android client? (Would be a first, that one.)
Just as the title says, does any of the current video chat apps work with the SGSII front facing camera?
Apps like: Fring, Tango, Qik Connect, oovoo ?
Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fring works for me on the test call, just installed to test
Just trying Tango
Dickie
Cant test Tango without contacts to make call, but Qik works after Menu>Switch Cameras on the record option...
I think its safe to assume all is good with the FFC!!
Dickie.
Thanks so much for checking.
VERY curious on Tango as this is the main app i use for video calling but it is good to know that Fring and Qik both work with the FFC
Anything with Skype? I am sure they will be adding the support soon. Hopefully if it doesn't cause any conflicts with their BS exclusivity with Verizon.

How did you get Qik to work properly? It works but my image is upside down..? Also, where did you see option to switch camera in the menu in Qik.?
UPDATE: Found the setting your talking about but its in video share. By changing that, will it display me right side up in the video chat part of Qik?
Has anyone got any sort of video calling working on the X2? I've downloaded the hacked Skype that lets you manually enable video calling, but checking the "force enable" box just makes Skype force close forever. I also can't ever get video from the other person, either on 3G or WiFi. Any success? I'd really love to have Skype, especially if I could send video. Even with only the back camera it's better than nothing.
I have never understood why we are not allowed to call with a back camera. I can easily set the kickstand on my case and transmit video. I understand that it would be difficult to see the other person's video, but I think that is my choice....
The worst part is, you can download the full version of skype that allows you to activate video calling so you dont have to use the hacked version and it still doesnt work.... I tried last night and it never would activate the camera.... And I was skype calling a computer not another phone...

Might try ooVoo..its free in the market. I've used it twice & worked both times, just sucks we only have the camera on back but it works
It's working now with the newest update.
On the newest Skype on the Market, video works just fine for me.
