Hello.. My wife has a samsung galaxy s vibrant, with a front facing camera, when she opens the dialer, she has the option to click on video call for video. I just bought a motorola atrix and it does not have the same, and they tell me to use tango or another third party app. I am confused, does the atrix not support video calling through the cell phone network ? Whe she tried to video call me it fails...
Can someone clarify please.
You would need to be over wifi on the atrix. T-mobile is the only company that let's you do video calls with out wifi. Also, she uses what's called qik. If you don't have qik on the atrixs then you would need to use a 3rd party app such as tango. I believe through that specific app you both would need to be on wifi. Hope that helps.

Use Tango, QIK is just not as stable and it doesn't work well on the Vibrant FFC
You both should have a tango account (free) then you can open Tango and just call, It will take about 15-30 secs to make video connection after it hooks up in the call (Faster if both of you are on Wi-fi). Then talk away and oogle at your wife, girlfriend, pet Aardvark...etc. (assuming the Aardvark has a tango account too).
I use it quite a bit with my wife it is kinda cool. And, I solely use it over 3G and it works in my area pretty well without lag.
Hope that helped.
Thanks guys, But what does her phone use when she clicks video call instead of call when normally dialing a number in the default dialer? thats what I am trying to use with her, video over 3g, I pay 5$/month for video calling, but i dont think my motorola supports it. im trying to avoid 3rd party so i can use it without wifi, and without running up data..
I returned my atrix already and waiting for another galaxy S, not just because of video, I did not like motoblur, and also, for some odd reason, when i try to voice dial over bluetooth, I have to unlock the phone first.. which i find very stupid, i dont want to touch my phone when im using my headset.
Just to add, I did try tango, and I think its not supported on the atrix because it all worked, but the voice was so choppy it sounded like slow motion, video did work.
I also tried qik, but for some reason, It wont call my wife, says she doesnt have it, and she cant call me, for the same reason, altho we are both signed on..
Thanks guys.

you MAY want to try and check out/ talk in the Atrix section of this forum... We vibrant users may not know as much about the phone as the people who actually have it.
Ask them if there's a rom/app that would let you do video chats.
i have before x 10 a lot of phones and i use video call from my network with sony ericsson T 715 and nokia E65...both phones have only back camera...any way to use network video call on android phones with back camera because it's working with skype and yahoo?
Check for the Tango app. It lets you use the back camera for video calls like Skype.
The official Yahoo Messenger can do this, tested.

From today, Skype is out of beta. But I still can't activate video chat on my Mozart. Just wanted to know if it is only me or anyone else is also facing this issue.
Video chat is working with my.Mozart. but I'm using the back camera.

Thanks kkcheong.
I tried video chatting at a higher speed WiFi (256kbps) and it worked without any problem. Earlier I was using 30kbps. Lesson- Video chat on Skype on WP7 doesn't work well at low speed.
Mods please close this thread if they see it fit.
It works great, we use the back camera !!!!
on this topic has anyone been able to use the earpiece to listen to other people though skype? because whenever i try and even press the speaker button on skype it just plays through the main speaker
Hi! I have an SE ST17i and it doesn't have a front-facing camera. The voice and video calling features of GTalk for GB doesn't seem to be available. Is there a modified version that will support using the back camera instead? More importantly, the lack of video calling isn't what's bothering me, I just want it to have the voice calling option. If the video calling can be routed to the back-facing camera then that's a plus too but getting the voice call to work is what I'm after.
Can anyone help me out?
I use "cybermaus" A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1874403) on my Lenovo A789 mobile. After installing this rom I did not checked my 3g video call for a long period . on 29.04.13 I make a video call but unfortunately my front camera ( for 3g video calling front camera ) it is not working but my back camera a is working with video calling. How can I solve it? It is noted that when I use the camera for Picture it works (Both Back & Front camera ) but in the 3g video calling time the front camera does not work.
Please help me.
