ive tried fring and tango and my front cam is flipped to the end user for video chat. i see how to change between cams, but is there a rotate or flip function? or maybe i havr to viseo chat w the kickstand out? just curious if anyone else has seen this strange behavior.
I just tried this with Qik and have the same result.

Did you try uninstalling and re-installing the app?
This is a known software issue. Tango works for me but Fring doesn't. Something about that software expecting a Sense camera and overcompensating.
Fring told me:
We are aware of the issue and working to solve it in the near future.

Supposedly you can edit your build.prop to
MANUFACTURER: Samsung
MODEL: Nexus S
to make it work.
phew. i figured it was something with the apps software. but there was that little voice in my mind that told me i was missing something that was right in front of me in the menu options.
never helps trying to video chat when youve had a few drinks at the watering hole lol. i kept spinning the phone around and everyone was laughin at/with me
update:
I downloaded the update from Tango last night and everything works great now. they have the videos working right for the Photon now

So far Tango will download but not install.
Newest Version of fring will run but error out on video chat.
Yahoo video chat will freeze.
Anyone have any luck getting Tango Video Chat to install or any video chat program to work on their Archos 70 or 101?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can figure this out.
I am in the same boat. Would really like a video chat app cause my wife is always on this and im on my evo
Try this version of fring, it is a older version, but it works for me...
Moved to general as not android development.

Thank you. I really want to avoid Fring but I guess it's better than nothing at all.
I guess nobody is having luck with any of the other video chat apps, so it's not just me.
Hi,
yahoo msg works pretty well, even to other platforms like iphone/pc.
its on market but take care, dont use "yahoo msg droid", that dosent support videochat
Anyone have the apk for the video im add-on? I've tried about 7 ways to get to it on the market and for some reason I can't find it. Even links straight from yahoo's website come up empty... Very frustrating.

I just moved the Video add on over from my Incredible as well as yahoo messenger and tested it out. No go for me. I was able to get video calling working, but the cam on the tablet would not output to the other person. Also the cam feed to the tablet was about 2fps and very laggy. Back to the drawing board. I have no use for fring since I'm trying to go from PC to Tab. Let me know if anyone else gets any where with it.
Sorry I just got my 101 yesterday and did not do enough research. Updated to new firmware .71 and messenger works!

Here are the apk coming together
Yahoo! Messenger video did not work for me
Those files wouldn't connect for me but after much much searching I found an updated Video plugin but I need the Yahoo! Messenger v1.3.1.apk which seems to be the latest version but that file is a ghost (for me) and as always its not in the Marketplace (also for me)(yes I did the "marketplace fix" and yes I reinitialized) so how's about someone post a new messenger apk if not for me then for all like me
Good news guys. I was able to have the latest version of Tango Video Chat installed and it worked well in my limited testing!!
I imported the backed up .apk from my phone and install was smooth. When it asked for a phone number I used the same number that I use for my cell. Got the verification text with no issues.
I had to restart the application a few times for it to pick up my Tango contacts and once it did, I placed a video call to my fiances iphone and it worked like a charm!
There was a slight delay in audio (to be expected) and video quality was a good as our camera would let it be. Playing with the night settings in the built in camera app helps tremendously.
I'm really happy with how things are progressing on my A70.

can you post what version Tango you used or even better yet post the apk file.
I got the version from Market and it installed fine. Even got the contact of my friends samsung epic (which also has tango installed). Was able to initiate call and it rang on her phone but then archos 70 froze.
That's weird, I downloaded tango from the market and installed and ran normally. I'm using an archos 70. It needed a phone number, so I just put my cell number and I ran a test run with my friend and we video chatted, although we were right next to each other.
It was a bit choppy but usable.
Market version works for me also (A70).
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?
double post, please remove. Sorry
I have just tried and it works perfectly. All i had to do update from the market, log in, enable video in settings and it worked immediately . Both front and back cameras, auto rotation too. Now i only want netflix to work. Hope it helps

Hi, just installed 4.0.3 ICS version LPQ. Everything is great, had a bit of fun with my mate doing stupid faces and doing screen captures for prosperity! Now today we both are in chat but the effect button has disappeared! Has anyone else had this problem, anyone know how to retrieve it. Thanks.

Same problem
Yea i had the same problem. I was using google talk to video chat with my nob head friend. I was using the effects button to change my face etc. The next day my effects button had dissapeared and his appeared. Both of us were on WiFi both times. Very strange.
Hmmm......Strange, mine has re-appeared today!
Why don't you check yours again and see if it's back too. I cant explain it at the moment but at least I can use it again and make myself look like a wierdo sex pest on chat!!
Maybe you should stop talking to your nob head friend??! He could be jinxing your phone!
bump.
mine seems to disappear whenever it feels.
I am not sure what makes it disappear nor am I sure what makes it reappear.
does anyone know why sometimes pictures on S3 come in as short videos even though they are clearly pictures?
i have found a work-around for this little problem, ill explain it in detail for those that have this same problem. I would love to hear some input
OK, so first i noticed that this problem was occurring between me and my roommate ( we both have s3's) when we would send pictures to test out our new phones. We were sending pictures directly from the default messenger app, we were both using the attachment button (paperclip button). It wasn't until today that i realized that the problem would disappear when we would use the photo gallery app to send the pictures by using the share function and using the messenger app. If youre having the same problem i hope this helps!
This was a Samsung thing that started with the GS2. It was fixed by the time ICS was released for it. Now, they seem to have forgotten they fixed it and have broken it again for the GS3.
I use GoSMS, so I don't really have to deal with it.
I've had my S3 for a couple weeks now and my wife is picking one up this evening. I've been looking for a decent (working) application that will do video chat with some of the more known video chat sites (Skype, Oovoo, Gtalk, etc) but so far the three or four i've tried are currently not working.
Has anyone found a working video chat application that will work with our front side camera that is compatible with
So far I've tried:
Skype - call works, can see other users but the app won't activate our camera (lot of posts complaining about this on the skype forums but no official response to date)
Oovoo - application will not even install from the play store (not supported on your device message) - side loading resulted in very sketchy results but the cameras themselves still are not functional
GTalk - I briefly tried this but couldn't get the video to actually connect. Found other posts on other forums with people complaining about the same issue.
I know that the T-mobile flavor comes with Qik's however that doesn't seem to support anything but others using the "Qik" service.
I'm sure these will receive more support as the phone matures but this was one of the points my wife was looking forward to in order to chat w/ her family.
Thanks
Have you tried Tango?
Google Talk works absolutely fine for me with both front and rear camera and special effects etc.
Tried G+ hungout

I'll have to take a look at tango and try gtalk again.
If there is at least one working one that should at least appease the wife long enough for the other ones her family uses to catch up w/ the phone....
Thanks guys
oovoo
I have not been able to try oovoo, however it can be downloaded from the Samsung apps, app that comes installed on the sgs 3, you may find that this works ok
I use Skype with the front and rear cameras absolutely perfect on my s3. Try reinstalling and on the first startup there's a pop up that states its not a supported device but it will attempt to use the cameras if u grant it permission. Click yes and try it.

Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk worked for me. I haven't tried anything else yet.

I have yet to come across a video chat app that doesn't work.
If your having problems I read somewhere that people with this problem reinstalled viber on their phone and everything magically started working.
Don't know if it's true but it might work.
