Has anyone successfully used skype video chat on one of the ics roms? I tried it today (ineffabilis rom) and the person on the other end said all they saw was a purple screen where my video should be (I could see my brother fine). I hate to revert back to stock GB for one stupid feature- but it is kinda cool for my kids to be able to see their uncles and aunts on the other side of the world.
Ok- let me rephrase.. Has anyone been successful using *ANY* video chat client on ics??

No but thanks for reminding me to test this out.
I don't think anyone has the feature fixed yet for the ICS roms. It seems that and BT streaming are buggy for alot of people.
Google+ has video chat and it works, I used it today. Im on ics too and had the same problem with skype,but google+ plus worked.
Yea I'm on joelz ics now and this is the first ics rom that I've got video chat working with *anything* (Google talk works). I figure this is good enough for now until a skype update or official ics fixes skype.

I'm trying to video chat with someone on skype and apparently when they try to video chat it says unable to connect. Is skype working fully on the Thunderbolt yet or is something up? I'm running an aosp rom if that matters.
Appreciate any insight

I have done it with newest version of Skype from Market. You need to be on Gingerbread to use FFC though. I have successfully done it TB to TB, TB to DINC2, and TB to PC via Skype.
You both need go into the Skype app, from the main screen press menu then settings. Go all the way down and ensure the Enable Video Calls is checked.

as MrHawaii said, you need gingerbread which isnt officially available through verizon yet..........or be rooted and use a gingerbread rom

I've done this and enabled video chat. However, when i actually try to videochat with someone (been trying with a PC), it reverts to voice only as soon as the call is connected.
Also, with google video chat, i installed the patch for rooted users to allow it to work, but all i get is a screen full of a big mess of color and stuff, plus a little box in the bottom with my video feed in it. really strange.
Running Synergy if that matters.
works just fine on bamf 3.0

I wouldn't advise updating the Netflix app. I did yesterday and now I only get audio and no video. I'm running CM7 beta. Can anyone using stock or another rom confirm if yours is working. I saw in the app market comments that others were having problems as well but haven't seen anything over here.
I have stock gingerbread and I don't have any video issues. Although I was getting like a fast forward audio/video thing when I started a movie. It corrected after I stopped and started it. I like it better because they fixed the orientation situation.

Well I guess it's a cm7 problem like the HBO to Go app. Damn, I love the rom but this needs to be fixed. Hopefully I can flash a backup to get it going again.
yup i had the same issues. i just re-installed a backup of 1.4.0 and it works fine again.
Well, I did a cwm restore from a backup I did 2 days ago. I opened netflix and gave me an error about my device being deactivated, I just clicked through the ok's and it logged me out. I logged back in and all was well. Also, after reviewing the bug reports on CM7, I came across an interesting fix that may work for plex, I'll post the link below in the hopes that it will help somebody.

No I didn't. Didn't work on hbo to go. Figured out it was a work around for plex only. The settings are found within plex I believe.

I'm running a rooted at&t stock atrix g4 and have no problems with Netflix.
Just as the title says. Wife and I try to video chat, can only see our own video showing in the corner. Have tried on 3g 4g and wifi with all the same result. No errors, just can't see the other persons video. Also tried this with multiple phones that support it with the same result. Any ideas?

my brother and I frequently do it; he has a droid 3 and i've got the rezound. thing is, the quality is utter **** and just never works well.....then again, maybe that's because he's out in wyoming, but who knows. skype was a little better for us, though
I have 2 Rezounds, video chat works on both with GTalk and Skype.

Hmm, skype video chat does work. Even does pretty good with the iPhone that a buddy has. This is just odd now....
Haven't tried skype but gtalk and tango are working fine.
I have tried Skype, Talk, and Google+ Hangout from my Rezound to a Rezound/Bionic/DInc2 and all of them work flawlessly. Not always best video quality, but they all work. Check your settings that you are actually sending video.
can you tell any us anymore information? was this over wifi? did you hear any audio? etc?
So I'm actually having this problem too.
I start google talk on the droid 3, click on the video icon next to somebody's name that supports vid chat. Screen goes black for a split second, then returns to the google talk contacts screen.
Interestingly, google hangout with google+ works great. As do tango and skype.
I'll post logcat output here in a bit.....

Did you happen to try skype video while on an ics rom? Or were you on GB?
attached are logs that (i think) show the crash
sorry for the gz, wanted to do pastebin, but apparently I can't post external links yet!!

GB, but I just noticed that this thread is for Rezound. I'm on hitting this on Droid3, so not only have I resurrected a dead thread, but I've accidentally hijacked a thread in the wrong forum too.
sorry.
(wonder if any info is usable from the logs?)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm having this same issue on my new Galaxy S4. Did anyone ever resolve this?
I tried to use Skype last night and I wasn't able to make a video call. The camera button was there, but it had a red line through it and wouldn't let me select it. This was my first try with Skype so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I had "enable video calls" selected in the settings. Is this an issue with it not supporting out displays....like it is with several other apps?
I can't get even Skype working on this phone.
I try to sign in and it just refreshes the application.

I had no video issues at first. I just played around with switching cameras and it finally worked. Now it works from the start.

I had the same problem. I use an older version and everything works fine including video calling.
I'll check that out.

There is a modded version of Skype in the XDA Apps and Games section (I am mobile so I can't paste the link). It's the latest version of Skype but the dev has modded it to force enable video calling and a bunch of other excellent features. I am using it on my x920e and have used if for video calling. I've only used it over Wifi but it's supposed to work with 3G as well. Try it out and see if it works. If it doesn't then perhaps VZW has done something to block it.
Skype video works
On my DNA, the video works fine... got a video call from my buddy in Budapest. I was on 4G, no issues.

Are you running a ROM or are you stock? I was on CODIS when I was trying to get it working. I have since switched to rooted stock and deleted a bunch of stuff on my own. I haven't given it a try on this yet. If it doens't work, I'll try out the XDA one that was mentioned above.

Are you stock or rooted? Yesterday I took another Skype video call from Austria, worked fine on my stock device. I was able to take screen shots too while on the video call. It was 30 minutes long and the DNA did suck up some battery and it got warm, but no problems.
Rooted stock here with qubed stock kernel. Skyoe working fine for me
Has anyone attempted making the new Hangouts for MMS/SMS/Hangouts work on a VZW TW based ROM like CleanROM?
I can't even find a thread about people doing it in CM!

I'm looking to give that a shot and report back this week, if no one has.
Curious what else would be needed from 4.2/4.3/4/4 to make it work (since VRAMC3 is like 4.1.2).
Well, I tried it. I installed it normally. No hitches. Works just fine.
Haven't tried video chatting yet, which (as I understand) has issues on some devices, like the Moto X (needs a different library or something) but works fine on others.
I will report!

I have been using it since droid life posted it last week and it seems to work well enough. I stopped using it because I prefer to have individual notifications.
Hangouts just updated via the Play Store for me today and asked to take over SMS/MMS duties after installing.

I looked for it at the time of my post and it was not available for update.
I wonder if an official version is coming for some users!
Because video chatting DOES NOT work (I should update the original post here).
Can't get it to happen.
EDIT: My Hangouts only updated to 1.2.018. Won't update to the 2.0.x yet.
Strange. I'm on CleanROM (Stock basically)

Yeah, when are they going to let individual hangout/conversations have different notification settings (other than ignoring notifications or not)?
It CAN'T be a hard feature to implement.
I'm keeping Handcent installed for now. But this thing won't update in the Play Store. Hoping to have a version where Video chat works, because I use that more htan phone calls.
Most of my friends (even iphones) have Hangouts now, and I just video call + turn off video + turn on 'handset' for sound (so it's basically a phone call).
WOrks well for a few friends I have that have 0 reception at their house but have wifi with good internet at home.
Google usually does staged roll-outs of updates for their apps. I'd think that by tomorrow you should be able to update to the latest version. Also, try going to Hangouts in the Play Store. I've seen sometimes where apps can be updated, but they don't show as being able to update from the all apps screen, but you can update it from the Play Store listing itself.

Yeah I'll check tomorrow. I went right to it, too, to check. Good advice though.
Are you on the stock-based 4.1.2? I wonder if I need 4.2 or 4.3 ROM going to make it happen.
I put that new Video lib .so file for the video chat. with OR without it, video calling seems to connect for a second, then stops working. I'll just wait for the official one, I do suppose!

The new, official version is rolling out.
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/07/google-hangouts-2-0-122-with-sms-integration-rolling-out-to-all/
So like imnuts said, just check back and it will eventually update.
i wish hangouts had a private option like stock mms. i hate the message being rolled over the status bar.
