We have already covered the post about Skype launch of Video calling application for Android devices. Skype official application works on Samsung Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro but today we will discuss about how to make Skype application work on Samsung Galaxy series and other android devices. Read on for details.
You need to follow below steps to use Skype Video calling -
Uninstall any installed version of Skype from your phone.
Download Patched version of Skype from XDA-Developer forum
Install the application on your Android Device
That`s it... You will be able to make Skype to Skype Video calls on your Android phone using your front or rear camera.
We have tried this on Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and it works without any issue.
Please note that you don`t need a rooted device to install this patch.

personally, I am not comfortable with using back camera for video call
I would better use my phone to do a proper voice call,than having to look at the camera and talk at it

Skype support Video Calling from xda-developers thread
The dialandroid did not mention the thread from xda-developers forum, is that above thread refers to?

Yes, but what do we use that for? Sneaking into the toilet and spreading porn videos? Getting killed by capturing video in a big debate? Skype is for CHATTING ,INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION AND BUSINESS COMMUNICATION. NO PORNS AND POLITICS.
thank you

I tried a few with the particular requirement that video call between desktop computer and phone be possible. The only solution I found was ooVoo. I don't know where I got it, thought I had found it on the market, but it seems to be no longer available. I do have a beta version installed though that works.
It will use the photo camera, so you might want to find a mirror if you want to see the other party and be seen at the same time...
Performance is OKish, did a short test on wifi with desktop computer, framerate was quite low and laggy sometimes, also had a quite noticeable delay in the audio, but at least it worked...
HTH.
Bye, Roland!
oovoo is gud but i thnk fring is gud if u require to chat btwn mobiles nly. . .. . you can download it from itz original site fring.com

Skype released an update today that released video calling to some devices.
"- Two way video calling is supported on the following handsets: Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro."
Is it possible to change some strings in the app to allow the video calling to work on other devices like the tab 10.1?

Tried it on mine, but couldn't sign in. Your mileage may vary.
Tried it on mine but the app just closes down when trying to sign in.
At sign in the app crashes and takes me back to home....
I got the Skype app from the Xoom forums and it works on my tab. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148715

I am sure it checks the type of Device you are using to provide or deny access to the Video chat feature. Until Someone can Bypass that check we will have to continue to use it as it is.
just tried the xoom skype and it doesnt work. hope someone can get it to work!
doesnt work on galaxy tab 7' gingerbread.. too bad.
Yeah, I never got a chance to test the video chat. Being able to log in is progress though.

I am dying to have a functional Skype on the GT. I have a friend in Japan who I Skype with and another in the Philippines who I'll probably Skype with soon. It would be phenomenal to have it.
One friend of mine has video chat with GoogleChat on his SGT and said the person on the other end could barely hear them. Said he uninstalled and reinstalled, but could not get the volume out to any respectable level.
I'm hoping that's a software issue and not a terribad microphone.
Try this version http://depositfiles.com/en/files/ddpmrkets. Works for me.

Hey!
Can you tell us (or at least me) how you got it to work, because your version and the other version (45) both auto close when I try to login. I'm totally clueless.
Please reply
I don't believe it works on the galaxy tab. It works on my Galaxy S. The Tegra processor doesn't include the NEON extensions, which are used in the binary, thus it exits right away.
There is lots more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285

Hello Today i rooted my device and i see over at modaco there was a apk for install video calls on talk with android 2.3.3 and i tried to indtall it and now i have video calling on talk with mini pro....
if someone want it too here is the tread http://android.modaco.com/topic/339390-r1-12-may-google-video-talk-installer/page__hl__gtalk+video
If it helps pls press thanks
Credits goes too paul o'brien
wow 76 people have looked at the thread and nobody have say something ;-)
I'd love to try but the official update isn't far away and I think to root the sk17i you will need to unlock the bootloader which in turn disables DRM content (affects track ID which I use often).
I have installed it in my device and it works pefectly. Tq.

It works for either voice and video chat on my Arc 2.3.3.
I wonder that if this also works on "Arc S" with Android 2.3.4 (no video/voice function on the original GTalk)

is there anyway to get videocall on my xperia 10 e10i mini ?
There is no front camera so, no you can't.
Although I read there are some apps that do videocall from back camera...
Although then it's no videocall anymore you can't look at the screen and be on the camera at the same time.
In theory, we can use the mirror, but that may be strange.
what app support video call from back cam ?

Hi, omarof 1
Now I found some apk for video calls, they said can "switch to the back camera to show what’s around you".
But I'm not tried yet so I don't know about another more details.
And I don't know it can be worked on X10 mini.
However if you're interested in it, see the link at below
Tango Video Calls v1.6.7596 free software Android apps
[Use the front camera to show yourself or switch to the back camera to show what’s around you- You can easily switch between audio and video during a single call- Simple and easy to use]
i've download tango but can anyone test the video call with me
this is my email [email protected]

Is the normal video calling possible on Mini Pro or LWW??
I am not talking about chat using skype or gtalk.
My fathers Galaxy S gives option to make video call or normal call when i open contact details.
Is this feature available on these phones.
I have a mini.
I Think if they have a front Camera
and the service provider allows it
yes
I have SK17i
but my provider doesn't allow video call
or it's more like they don't have that technology
No. Of all android phones, only samsung phone with its stock rom had the ability to do videocall not using internet data connection like those on old nokia or sony dumbphone.

mini pro and live walkman supports video call...
ATM mini pro supports video calls though skype..
by any chance can't the developers do some hacks to the stock rom/or make a customized rom/kernel (i doubt the current customized roms/kernels don't have that feature) to add native video calling capability?
its have font camera, im already using to skype video call,
