Guys,
I was wondering...how do I make video calls over the network on my RAZR?
You could try Skype in the market.

I use Skype also.
Skype works very nicely, though the front facing camera looks a little washed out. I know that's not Skype's fault but I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this? (at least change settings to "sunny" or something)
I haven't tried Skype yet....but Tango does work on my Razr XT912.
Skype & gtalk video
Working fine in my razr tx-910

Nooooo. Not VoIP. I mean over the cellular network...by dialing another person's number.

not video calling razr
I don't believe that can be done over the Verizon 3g network, but can be done on 4g if both parties have 4g connections.

I've had my wife gtalk video call me while I was on 3G and she was on our home wifi. I believe we have done it while we both have been on 3G.
No. I mean over the cellular 3G network. Like normal video-calling, not over skype or anything. And yeah, I don't think any Android phone supports that yet. Faaaark.....coz Nokia had Symbian S60 support it 5 years ago! I remember video calling on my Nokia 5800 over 3G. Its 3 bucks/minute here in India.
Video calling without VOIP
Did anybody made a video call using RAZR or RAZR Maxx without using VOIP?
Thank you so much!
I think that only Samsung devices have the necessary divers for native video calling on Android. Not a Samsung troll/rep I Love my Razr Its the best phone

You mean something like facetime for iPhone, yet without Wi-Fi? I don't think there is such a feature...maybe when we get ICS

I use Fring for VOIP. I have not tried to use its video features. I do know that last time I tried Skype it was buggy.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
I use Qik. Even though it's made by Skype, it's not nearly as buggy. It's what Sprint uses when they're doing product placement on TV shows like "Fringe."
I prefer Oovoo. It is much less buggy than Skype and can video chat with up to 12 different people at once. Works over 3G, 4G, and WiFi. The video quality is very nice as well. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with Facebook to allow video calling to your Facebook contacts.

Most of Moto latest device doesn't support because 3g video call is seldom use in US. Even in SG where I stay.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
well yes, is seldom use here too, but it's nice to have video call when you have no data enabled
thanks
It doesnt have, but if there is a video dialer apk that works then it can....
I know samsung galaxy phones have video calling, maybe someone can port the apk?
no
no

I understand what the person is saying. He means to say 3G video calling over the network WITHOUT having data enabled. People seldom use this and hence not many people know about it. And no, Motorola XT910/912 do not support it natively. U could try another .apk as mentioned, but fat chance. Sammy's phones support it well, cuz Sammy isn't dumb like moto.
My friend has a Galaxy S2 and he can make video calls with other friend and his gf (with galaxy s2) here in Mexico. It would be cool if someone can port the apk
not yet.

Yeah, it'll be cool. But calling over the network is expensive, at least here in India.

Well, I think it will cost too much more than a simple call in any country. It cost 29 cents (usd) per minute in my country (only for users with data plan like me) and 37 cents per minute for prepaid.
Yeah n it costs 3 bucks/min over here in india. Thats about 0.054$
In Poland costs are the same for voice and video calls. average is 0.29Pln/min (0.1usd/min), without a plan. Unlimited calls text and data cost about 30usd/month.
And I'd welcome video calling on Razr too
well i have like 200mins for video call, but since this feature is not supported i can't benefit from it...
and i hope that you guys don't confuse 3g video call with any other video call over ip ...

I just downloaded the new YouTube update because I noticed it fixed HD in 2.2 and 2.3. I was curious to see if it would allow the app to play while using Aces' MIUI rom and sure enough..IT DOES!!! Go into settings and set movies to play in high quality and bam...your YouTube app will work.
Just out of curiosity, were you on wifi when you did this? If I remember right, youtube worked fine when connected to wifi but not over cellular data.
Fine on 3g.

Thats great then. I wonder if YouTubes fix is similar to what Ace needs to do to MIUI. Maybe its not set for an HD display? It seems like something Ace would have thought of though.
I sent a tweet to Ace but never got a response. But yes, I was using it on 3g and not Wi-Fi.

I can confirm it works on both 3g 4g and wifi....crystal clear image on my drive to work today, on 3g it has alot of artifacts and can be sometimes slow as far as movements go but otherwise its fast and clear.
Can anyone get it to work on AT&T over 4G?? It tells me that it can only do it over wifi, sure this can be fixed by flashing something?
Thanks in advance!

I was wondering that too. I think ATT blocked it somehow. I used to be able to do it on my Verizon thunderbolt.
is this any different then google+ hangouts?
Att SIM card works on Verizon RAZR! Just needs little modification. Does not even require root! Thanks to the bionic forum

does data work ?
what "little modification" are we talking about
write up ? link ?
The procedure...
Data does work because I get an "H". But i choose to turn off data because i do not want to be billed.
I am on ics.
This is what I did (modified from the bionic forum)
- got an att sim card activated with a basic gsm phone
- turned off razr
- replaced the Verizon sim card with att Sim card
- turned on phone. You will get an "unknown sim card" error. Press ok
- go to system setting>more> mobile networks> select GSM/UMTS
- click back button, select access point names, select AT&T US (wap.cingular)
- press *#*#4636#*#*
- go to phone information, select WCDMA preferred, below it, turn off radio then turn it back on, exit by pressing home
- turn off data sync in the mobile data networks. Also turn off wifi.
- wait up to 30 minutes or more to let the phone connect to the network

I turned on data then I lost the signal. It would not come back even though the phone reads the access point name. I think either AT&T or Verizon saw that I'm using an unauthorized sim card and disabled the signal.

That's what I figured. Cellzealot is working on a hack but it doesn't look very promising - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619563. They do have a hack for the Bionic to use 3G on AT&T. I set my little bros phone up a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the hack seems to only work on GB and not ICS. Most Moto global phones can be unlocked for AT&T but since the Razr wasn't officially released as a global phone and they basically only announced global support because they couldn't patch it on ICS (my opinion, not confirmed), the Razr is different.

I heard that you only lose data when in U.S., when overseas your (overseas) SIM will work with data.

From the bionic forum is where I saw that moto phones will work if the GSM radio is installed and enabled. Being updated to ics, Verizon enabled Gsm radio to have used as a global phone.

I haven't followed it as closely as I once did, but the Droid 3 is completely hackable because AT&T has a similar device. So I purchased the unlock code, flashed the GSM radio and it was done. TBH created a hack for the Droid Pro that would unlock it (old file, not recently updated) similar to the unlock file that works for the Bionic. They also have a Razr unlock file that I believe changes some settings to GSM (I don't believe it's a true hack just setting changes) but it doesn't unlock data in the US. It only allows data overseas. One user in the thread I linked to reported picking up data in the US but only because he's close to Canada and AT&T was roaming to Canadian towers. That's further proof that Verizon and US GSM networks have enabled some sort of block that is yet to be cracked. Cellzealot is a pretty smart guy. If I had to guess (that is IF it can be hacked), he'll be the guy to do it.
A general consensus across the board is that ICS has changed the radio handling which has made sim unlocking much more difficult and patched previous hacks. Again, I'm just paraphrasing what I've read from Cellzealot. He's your guy for more information.

On ICS now but I've tried it on GB too. Never have gotten anything to work. Have done the NV edit and various patches, roms, settings.

post updated , its for gtalk
Perhaps not specifically at this time, though the features are there for android devices. In the process of rolling out facetime over cellular for iPhones, it appeared that lines of service with Android LTE phones gained a new feature that suggests video calling. (Its just called Video Calling)
I have a feeling something of this nature will roll out when AT&T rolls out with voice over LTE.
