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

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.
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

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?
Has anyone had any success with video chat through yahoo messenger on a gingerbread ROM? I can make a call but it forces me to rear camera even with the new kernels... Anyone else?

Having the same problems here. I got that qik application to work properly, but the person on the other end of the video call says that the video is upside down. Had the same upside down issue on fring too. Hope we get this issue resolved soon. CM7 rc1.3
Nope, I use Google talk and it works fine...

Yahoo Messenger with the video plug in from the market only works from my phone to PC. At least for me. I can't seem to get it to work from phone to phone.
Google Talk works, but the video is sideways/upside down last I tried unless they fixed it.
fring works well but you get echos with the voices. Typically the sound is too low.
I never got Qik or Tango to work phone to phone.
Is there a fix to make the camera not be upside down on the distant end? If the fix is flashing CM7 or better yet CM9 that would be fine by me. Thanks.
Has anyone got any sort of video calling working on the X2? I've downloaded the hacked Skype that lets you manually enable video calling, but checking the "force enable" box just makes Skype force close forever. I also can't ever get video from the other person, either on 3G or WiFi. Any success? I'd really love to have Skype, especially if I could send video. Even with only the back camera it's better than nothing.
I have never understood why we are not allowed to call with a back camera. I can easily set the kickstand on my case and transmit video. I understand that it would be difficult to see the other person's video, but I think that is my choice....
The worst part is, you can download the full version of skype that allows you to activate video calling so you dont have to use the hacked version and it still doesnt work.... I tried last night and it never would activate the camera.... And I was skype calling a computer not another phone...

Might try ooVoo..its free in the market. I've used it twice & worked both times, just sucks we only have the camera on back but it works
It's working now with the newest update.
On the newest Skype on the Market, video works just fine for me.
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.
