Hey guys,
I installed the updated Skype app today and was able to make a video call, but my camera wouldn't come on. I could see the other person and we could hear each other, but no video of me.
Anyone have any ideas?
That would be a great advancement, if we had video calls via Skype on Archos 70. Any improvement here is appreciated.

It's can install and work fine on my Archos 101 but not test video call because my friend in contact list not have video.
Thanks jakkrith for the link.
I've installed that Skype app version on my Archos 70IT (UrukDroid 1.0) but it shows "No FFC detected".
The Camera app on the Archos uses FFC without any problem.
I've sent the information (log, camera app) to droidrx.
Maybe he can fix it.

Has anyone come up with a way to use Skype for Android to be able to place video chat calls? The fact that the Archos 101 has a front facing camera really makes me wish this would work. But the Skype available in the Google Market does not support video chat.
I've heard that the HTC Thunderbold and the new Moto BIONIC will both have Skype Video integrated.
Are we basically waiting on another android device to have that functionality so we can reverse engineer it onto our devices? Or is there another way around this limitation?
Skype is still working on getting video calling to Android. They just purchased Qik too, which should help!

It seems they "sold" the first working video version of skype to Motorola, so once the xoom is out, there'll be Skype AKPs floating around... with the hope that it doesn't heavily rely on Honeycomb.
I think Verizon gets first dibs on Skype video chat. Then probably after a year it will be open to all devices.
Moved to general as not andorid development
I have been using Tango. It works great.

well "Skype with Video" was just released for the Thunderbolt only ... waiting on a fine XDA member to crack it for the rest of the mass (xoom please!)
link can be found @ Androidandme ....won't post it here
I got the Atrix 4G this morning (Feb. 21) and since I've had Android I have always wanted to know what the best way to save battery power is. Any help?
Also me and my friend like to video chat. I used to use Tango on my Captivate and it doesn't work on the Atrix (it keeps crashing). My friend is using a different Android device and I wanted to know if there was any good video chat/call apps that work well and aren't a pain to use.
If anyone could help that would be very nice.
try using qik there's a version specific for the atrix out there
have you tried skype?

My Skype has no video chat option. Fring is supposed to though.
What about yahoo messenger? It is supposed to have video chat but I have not tried it.
Go with TANGO. IMHO

I have tried Tango, but it keeps ending the call when I turn on video.

I can confirm that Tango also doesn't work for me. It crashes out quickly.
I don't want to have to sign up with qik for video chat. I was under the impression Tango worked better.

QIK is the only one that worked for me so far. But it was terrible quality no where near as good as face time
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.)
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...
Is it possible to record video call WITHOUT using skype and gtalk. Save into 3gp format...? is it necessary to root my device to enable the recording function? Any reply would be much appreciated...
Cheers
Doubt it. Definitely doable with Skype. Why not use that ?

I check out my friend i9100's gallery got recorded our video call. The video in 3gp file save as the name as "VT2011-12-18 13.15.47.3gp". That's definitely the date and time of our video call session. Make a google search and come out with no luck... He forgot already which custom rom using at that time. Very unfortunate...
Recording video call that I just mentioned earlier either my friend using Rarity ROM or Criskelo ROM. But try V38 criskelo ROM cannot record video call. So any idea 3rd party apps yet have the best quality for Video Call? Skype? gtalk? Tango? Fring? which one is the best and no upside down image? Any suggestion?? Huhu...
any program or method to record video call from skype on my galaxy s ii
Well, ive tried recording tango video calls with screencast, z screen recorder and display recorder.
None have worked as I'd hope. I just get black screens or broken image on my xt875.
tried forcing gpu rendering. still nothing
no option to disable hardware overlay on mine. hmm
waiting for a solution.
