I'd like to be able to use the video chat app, Fring, but it force closes whenever I try to start a video call. Regular calls work fine. I replaced the included camera with the default camera so that the front facing camera would be accessible. I'm using Neutrino 2.7 EE. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Can anyone get any app other than a camera to access the front facing camera on Neutrino?
Skype won't work either
tango worked for me, but i had to install it with the initial flash of neutrino 2.7
just open the zip and go to the system/app folder and place the tango.apk in there.

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.
hey guys,
I rooted my friends sgs2 and couldn't get two things to work. the portable WiFi hotspot keeps getting an error when i try to click on the check-mark. the second one is the video camera doesn't work. he's running the cm7 (not nightly) is there a ROM that has a working video cam?
thanks
I'm also running CM7 (not nightly). I believe the exact rom I flashed was from this thread (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Galaxys2ATT) and the video camera works fine. I just tested to confirm, I was able to record video with both front AND back cameras.
That said, I've heard that CM7 doesn't support 1080p video recording even when the camera IS working.
Hello all,
I recently loaded a debloated rom (found here on the website) and noticed that when I video chat, I cannot switch to my rear camera.
Did they take away that option?
Or could it be caused by that FCC "fix" that was posted when everyone was trying to fix the video chat from being sideways?
can anyone tell me if their camera, when using gtalk has the option to switch to the rear camera?
Did u find your answer? I haven't used gtalk but both cameras work fine on other programs I use..
I have ba2tf installed and I like LGCamcorder since I like the higher audio bitrate at 320kbps. I can record 1 or maybe 2 videos but usually on the 3rd record it messes up and I can't connect to the camera to record another. It does the same thing on the built in camera. Any known fixes? Video recording is not stable on this device. I use the kernel and radio in my sig with minimal third party apps.
thanks
Flash a newer cm7 build and try the same test.

So, I just installed the latest 1.0 Morrisoft which is based on the latest nightly May-27th and I still have the issue. If I begin to record and stop after 10 seconds. Then try to record again, the frame is frozen and it will start record again but the frame is frozen. Then if I stop and exit from the app, I get the error "Cannot connect to camera". I was using the Reflex-like camera mod so I flashed the "default cm7 camera add-on" from neturino's add-on's to revert back. Still getting the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Maybe the Atrix camera can't take high audio bitrate. You could be pushing it.

It occurs only with the stock cm7 camera with no audio adjustment.
this problem seems starts when u flashed a non camera supporting roms, i have this too , i guessed
this topic must be seen by devs and mods, this is a rare and heavy problem
This happened to me on MIUI rom from th3bill, I have to open videocam illusion and then return to camera.
Anyone know how to make video calls for gtalk work? I am using miuiv4 from 360 productions. The option for video is there but whenever I try to use video call in gtalk, gtalk force closes
That's because you need a front camera for GTalk to work. Seeing as Vibrant doesn't have one, you may have to edit some files in order for it to get going. Although, I'm not sure which files those are.
Yeah I figured. I had it working on miui 2.3.3 on my vibrant . Not sure how to make it work on ICS
