Is there any way to enable video call in android 2.2.1
My phone does have a front facing camera but the dialer has no video call option please help!
Nope AFAIK.
That was introduced in 2.3 - you may use third party apps for video calling, like Tango, Skype etc.

Ok, so I've installed Skype for Windows Mobile, 3.0 Beta.
Is there a way to utilize the Sprint Touch Pro's camera for video calls?
OR
Has anyone figured out a way to attach a USB webcam and use it? Kind of stinks the CDMA Touch Pro only has the one camera.
No Skype doesnt support it, maybe on a tegra cpu in the future
skype does support video chat. The question is better clarified as:
Since Skype supports video chat on its mobile software as per skypes website, and since the CDMA version of the phone only has the back camera, is there a way to utilize the camera on the back of the phone to work with skypes option to video chat?
actually that isnt a bad idea but may not be possible yet since skype already uses alot of batter, cput and memory power
"Since Skype supports video chat on its mobile software as per skypes website"
got a link for that ?
because my x1 got a frontcam and don't support video calls
every test i've seen of even the new skype state it don't
and i can't see it on their site
I have seen all of these threads about how skype works now with the new update.
I don't even know where to get skype for my phone!
The market has a skype but it doesn't have video....
... where can i get a skype app that I can video chat with?
Skype for Android with video capability has not yet been released.
Skype and 2.3.4
Skype 2.0.0.27 works fine in 2.3.4 as far as the audio that made the app unusable before. It works crisp clear (Wi-Fi have not tried 3g) . No signs of video as of today. As I understand skype is working on the matter.
Hi,
My Galaxy S2 is unrooted and it is running Android 2.3.3.
What app do I need to video call over Wi-Fi? I've tried Skype and Google Talk but I cannot find this option?
Do I have to update to Android 2.3.4 to enable video calling via Skype or Google Talk?
Many thanks for your help.
Correct..... in theory you should be on 2.3.4 to use video on google talk, however, you can install a custom rom (needs root) to have this on google talk feature, I dont think you can use google video feature without root at this time in moment until 2.3.4 is released..
I use rom "lightning" that has this feature, never used it tho because everyone I know doesnt have it ..
Also what was not mentioned:
Skype on Android does not yet support video calling (except for the htc thunderbolt).
Currently you have two good options I think:
- Root your phone. Then either apply a custom rom that already has the latest google talk app included that supports video calling or install the latest google talk app yourself (without custom rom).
- Try out Tango. Among the video calling apps that are available on Android this seemes to deliver one of the best video quality. Alternatively you can give Fring a try.
Skype has video calling with the samsung galaxy s2.
Open Skype, Then touch the menu button on the phone, press settings, then scroll down to Video calls and check Eneble video calling and adjust the setting for it.
It works, I use it. Enjoy.
Does anybody managed it to get Video Calling working on the viewpad 7?!
I have no luck, no matter what custom rom or kernel I use, theres no video option in the settings...:-(
So far...happy with my rooted Viewpad on 800Mhz
Sorry, wish I could bring you better news, but I haven't been able to get it working either. A bit surprising considering the front camera, according to Skype they will support devices with front camera. Is it the lack of Flash support that blocks its usage?
Hi Im as well not able to use video calls on Skype on Viepad7,Now there is a new ROM and some Flash 10.1 that was hacked to work on our old ARM processor) maybe this could help...Durring weekend I should be able to test this ROM but looks to be ok...

Anyone got news?
I do not understand why there is a frontal camera and no software to use it
The way I understand it, it's Skype itself that does not support it, our viewpad should be able to handle it.
Problem would probably in the Camera API that does not properly support calls to the front camera, that was only added in android 2.3
Would be nice if someone could test some video calling apps and let us know what works and what does not. I'm curious to see if there are any implementations that can acccess the front camera from 2.2.2
App's name viber can video call from front cam, may be cause microsolf buy skype and don't want to develop good app for android I think. Hahahahaha

hi there - just upgraded to acronium ICS v4 and wonderd if there is a call recording software that records the other side internaly (rather than through the mic)
also - on 2.3.4 i used LGcamera app that gave me superior quality photos and HD videos to the one built in. however it doesn't seem to work on this rom and if i try to use the video recording it not only crash but crash camera use even with the built in app... any ideas of an alternative camera app that compress photos less and code videos in h264?
cheers

Can't answer your camera issue, but call recording depends on the kernel. Doomlords kernels support it but not sure if stock ics does.
