Can we not use gmail video chat to do face time?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
are you talking facetime as in apple? I think they only allow face time with other apple users
Well. You know how Google has a webcam video chat on gmail via webcam/laptop. Thunderbolt has front facing video camera. why couldn't we use gmail video chat on thunderbolt to talk to people on PC or laptop. Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Hmmmm... I wonder if the Honeycomb GTalk app would enable video chat... I'll try to decompile and fix for 2.2. First I need the apk...any links?

i have a xoom at work that we are testing, I will try to pull the .apk from google talk via titanium backup tomorrow since I have not rooted that device.
I was video chatting on my Xoom to my girlfriend the other night. I forget if it was the in the Talk app or not, pretty sure.
As far as "FaceTime", you can video chat with people using Tango and Yahoo Messenger for now, and Skype (with video calling) is coming soon.

I have definitely used video chat on my Xoom from the Talk app.
Let Google Know
I found a thread asking Google to please get video chat rolling here in the Google support forums.
Yeah I don't know if the Honeycomb GTalk app would just work on Froyo considering that GTalk is apparently heavily baked into a lot of Android features. But this would be an amazing feature. Maybe more people would finally start using GTalk too since it's hard to get my friends to kick their SMS addiction.
Since I've gotten my thunderbolt I haven't been able to successfully video chat using any applications. And I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if it was just me

I'm using Qik on CM7.
The only issue it has is the fact that the other party sees me upside down.
Thanks for the response im guessing that means the problem is with all thunderbolts

The leaked version of Skype worked alright on mine
Tango works ok with crappy quality with iBoners and an atrix
Sent from my ADR6400L
has anybody used the new fring group chat or qik app? how are those working?
The leaked Skype works great, sound is alot better than Tango. Also the Skype works with Bluetooth which I could never get with Tango. I just can't get it to work on CM7, but I just got gTalk to work on CM7. Haven't been able to test it out but it installs and says I'm avaliable for audio and video chat. Ill update once I get home and check tho.
(Edit-- well gTalk looked good, but it was force-close city and no video. Tried clearing cache and fix permissions, but still no go. Back to Dad BAMF and Skype video for now, I guess.)

You know there was also a similar problem worth the xoom. You may want to look at how they got gtalk to work.
Yep, the leaked Skype is probably one of the best options at the moment, until we get Google's upcoming video chat, at least.
Yahoo messenger is where its at

I didnt think the leaked version of Skype was secure.
In this article on Droid-Life, it specifically states: "NO, the leaked Skype with video has not been fixed."
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/2...y-vulnerabilities-fixed-3g-calling-tossed-in/
So, is it safe to be using the leaked version?
Qik, skype, fring, tango, yahoo messenger - pick your poison. They all work

Try uninstalling the skype version you already have installed on your flyer. then install the one with video. That fixed it for me
Yeah, this definitely works. Now I can video call from my Flyer! I haven't tested it out yet, though. Can anyone confirm that the video call feature works, and doesn't force close or something?

The one on the market installed and works fine on my flyer today. V2.0.0.47 so maybe they updated to include it
Yes, it seems Tue market version is back. Does it support video on Flyer?

No it doesn't.
Finally!
Finally video on Skype works on my flyer!Thanx a lot
Did anyone have strange new contacts added when they installed either the Skype_2_0_0_47_signed apk or the com.Skype.apk from mediafire?
I installed bolt_cb_skype.apk onto my HTC Sensation yesterday and ended up with 10 new contacts that I couldn't delete. Ended up having to reset everything to get it off. I want to put it on my flyer but want to make sure It's clean.
Thanks

Just installed Skype on my Flyer and had my first ever video call with my niece in California! Video and sound quality seemed pretty good and there were no noticeable delays or "skips". Audio was like talking on the phone....
This worked for me on sprint view
Gives wifi and 3g voice and video
Tested working

I installed the app, it installed fine, but I do not see where the video chat is activated.
Did you actually get the video chat portion of the application to work?
Updated: OK, after uninstalling and installing the app again, the video works great. Thanks for the link.

yesssss....I can confirm that.
Does the video actually work on the one from the market? I also have the "video" version, however, it doesn't support video on the Flyer.
The latest version of SkyPE from the Market doesn't offer me video support on my Flyer.
The version from Villianrom does however.
yes it works, a little blurry on the front cam , but good enuf
maybe is working but not officially released , now i am using yahoo video chat on my
HTC desire HD
One of the reasons why I bought this device was for its front facing camera and purported Video Chat capability. Being that this device uses the Google Android OS, I assumed that Google Video Chat was possible. However, this is not the case and I have been patiently waiting for a software update to enable to this function. Do you know if anything is in the works? And if not, why wouldn't this device be eligible for Google Video Chat?
I had the same problem. Ended up using tango and it works.

Google video chat support is hit or miss in gingerbread. Try Talk 1.3 Installer on the market, needs root but be warned it can be flaky.
