Is anyone aware of an app that can record video from a ffc on the Vibrant? Something like Qik would be ideal, but Qik has never been able to see my ffc.
im pretty sure the rom has to support it for the video in the ffc to work
some roms only let u take pics with it if thats the case apps like tango or skype wont really work right with the ffc

To be clear, I am using a JPK-based rom. The camera works, front and back. Skype and Tango work, front and back. There is just no option in the video recorder app to switch the camera to the front. This is also the case in Qik.
Hey OP not related to your question, where can i get a version of Skype that will use ffc on Froyo?

I'm actually just using Skype from the Market. If that's not working for you, you might try a different ROM, or as a possible quick fix, just change your build.prop ro.product.model to GT-I9000.
There was a version that was hacked, but I don't know if it's still supported.

Hey, someone over in the EVO forum posted the new yahoo messenger app that includes video chat from the leaked mytouch HD ROM. It appears to function using the rear camera on the vibrant.
Haven't been able to test it out fully yet cause I don't know anyone who actually uses yahoo messenger.
Hopefully someone can get this working with the FFC Mod as it should allow phone to computer video chat.

Likely the build.prop will needed edited like it does for fring & tango to work correctly with the FFC mod.
ill try it out i still use yahoo messenger
tested on vibrant.....quality sucks but it works for sure but both parties should have camera
So its only two way.
it works its a step forward thats for sure it looks like you have a option to switch cameras aswell on it
Combine this with the TV Out option and should even allow you to see the screen while you faced the rear camera toward you in a dock or something. An obvious advantage would be no computer / PC webcam needed at least.
I have tried to sign in with my screen name and my wives. The app always says that there have been too many sign in attempts and that the login from the device has been temporarily disabled.
me and my friend tried it (both with vibrant FFC Mod) after changing the build.prop and it works but doesn't seem to detect FFC. It uses the rear camera and not able to switch between front and rear cam even though I see the option to. Tango works however
Tried this yesterday between a PC and my Vibrant on 3G. Works great, but only with rear camera. Haven't done the FFC mod. Video quality is so-so, but I'm glad to have something that I can talk to my PC buddies with (still mourning the loss of Skype in Fring). The video is a plus. Can't wait for this to become a public app.
Do you have to have two cameras to use this feature or can u do it from the back camera ?
vibrant rooted
macnutR14
super io kernel
2.2 froyo
you have to have front facing camera ( front and back ) becoz you cant see who you are video calling with if your screen is facing the other way..
i dont even think it works with only a back facing camera..
Tango (from the market) works fine using just the back camera.. You just have to get creative and stand in front of the mirror our something like that if you actually want to see eachother.

FFC is not required,but also depends on the app. you would see the other person if your camera is facing you tho,unless u stand in from of the mirror.
~Tango has been the most popular IMO. iOS and Android users can vid chat
~Yahoo IM does video chat with other phones and computer
~Cracked Skype does video call with other skype users
~Oovoo supposedly came out,but i havent been able to find it in the market
A video link was posted in one of the threads here, in which the presenter said that the SGSII "supports" Skype.
Was that a dumb person's way of saying it has a fraont facing camera? Or has anyone actually ready anything specific about the SGSII coming preloaded with Skype?
Just wondering...
I hope it has video enabled Skype preloaded... but probably it won't have.
Most probably the woman in the video had no technical skills at all and just said that because it has a front facing camera... we'll see.
In either case, Skype is available via the market place, does it not support front facing camera?
I don't own a Android device as of yet so do not know. Can anyone confirm?

Skype is available in the Android Market, however there isn't a video-call support for Skype as of now, on Android.
There are a few videos/articles floating about that there's a version of Skype designed specifically for the HTC Thunderbolt that supports video calling over 3G/4G.
Perhaps that's what the person would be referring to? That the particular version of Skype for video calling could also come with the S II. Anyway this part's just my speculation.
Thats BS, I use Skype on the iPhone to do a low of video calling with my clients, it would suck if I cannot do that any longer.
What a turn off.
Going to bump this, anyone tried installing skype on the new S2 to see if video works?
someone from my local forum said that Fring has video support for sgs2
I have skype installed. It doesn't appear to have a video call option.

I can confirm that, no video support in Skype it seems.
just audio calls on skype, no video option maybe soon in update?
Skype's days are numbered one way or the other ... or do you really think Microsoft is going to offer a competitive Android client? (Would be a first, that one.)
Just as the title says, does any of the current video chat apps work with the SGSII front facing camera?
Apps like: Fring, Tango, Qik Connect, oovoo ?
Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fring works for me on the test call, just installed to test
Just trying Tango
Dickie
Cant test Tango without contacts to make call, but Qik works after Menu>Switch Cameras on the record option...
I think its safe to assume all is good with the FFC!!
Dickie.
Thanks so much for checking.
VERY curious on Tango as this is the main app i use for video calling but it is good to know that Fring and Qik both work with the FFC
Anything with Skype? I am sure they will be adding the support soon. Hopefully if it doesn't cause any conflicts with their BS exclusivity with Verizon.

How did you get Qik to work properly? It works but my image is upside down..? Also, where did you see option to switch camera in the menu in Qik.?
UPDATE: Found the setting your talking about but its in video share. By changing that, will it display me right side up in the video chat part of Qik?
Does anybody managed it to get Video Calling working on the viewpad 7?!
I have no luck, no matter what custom rom or kernel I use, theres no video option in the settings...:-(
So far...happy with my rooted Viewpad on 800Mhz
Sorry, wish I could bring you better news, but I haven't been able to get it working either. A bit surprising considering the front camera, according to Skype they will support devices with front camera. Is it the lack of Flash support that blocks its usage?
Hi Im as well not able to use video calls on Skype on Viepad7,Now there is a new ROM and some Flash 10.1 that was hacked to work on our old ARM processor) maybe this could help...Durring weekend I should be able to test this ROM but looks to be ok...

Anyone got news?
I do not understand why there is a frontal camera and no software to use it
The way I understand it, it's Skype itself that does not support it, our viewpad should be able to handle it.
Problem would probably in the Camera API that does not properly support calls to the front camera, that was only added in android 2.3
Would be nice if someone could test some video calling apps and let us know what works and what does not. I'm curious to see if there are any implementations that can acccess the front camera from 2.2.2
App's name viber can video call from front cam, may be cause microsolf buy skype and don't want to develop good app for android I think. Hahahahaha
