A new app called VTOK: (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skymobius.vtok) now does video calling using your rear camera. I tried using this app and found out that its one of the very first ones for doing a video chat. So far, Skype or Gtalk provided only voice services and video chatting was absent.
It was obviously lagging, but nevertheless, it worked fine. Thanks for making this app. It can be easily competing the likes of Skype and Tango. One big requirement(if you are in India) is that you need either WiFi or 3G working to make the video stream. Also, get a good enough mirror so that the absence of a front camera on small devices is taken care of.
My device Specifications:
1) Samsung Galaxy Y
2) ROM: Jelly Blast v3.03
3) Network: 3G: Vodafone Mumbai
Note: I am only a user of this app like you all and not at all a techie. Kindly excuse if I have made some grave mistakes in making my point.

How can u have a video call without a front camera??
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I was thinking to have the ability to receive video call so if someone call me via video I can see and talk.
Of course to use the back camera as an extra option would be added advantage too.

Shader agrees.
Indeed that would be nice, have you tried searching for an app like this in the market?

Well.. there was this thread already so I decided not to make a new one..

I have installed it on my mini.. havn't tested video calling yet but it seems to have the options
Worth a try.. even if we have to use the back camera and a mirror

Havnt tried this, but I know you can use your mini pro camera as a webcam on pc by using ipcamera set up correctly
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
Yup.. played with those sort of apps on the mini a while ago.. but this is skype video calling...
I had it working a couple of time, wasn't able to test video but it looks promising... now it seems I have to wipe the App Data and reset my phone each time I want to start skype or it sits in a permanent connecting loop...
Will keep playing... at least the Camera options are available
Kiwi
you can use vtok on market it s use back camera on video calls
I and my wife both had iPhone 4 so we could facetime. Now I upgraded to Atrix. Is there anyway we can still do video chat? I thought of using yahoo messenger but it only shows back camera... no front camera...
Get Skype for iPhone. Video calling for android skype is about to be released.

Use Tango
I use Tango. It's cross platform so you can video chat from Android to iPhone.
Skype still doesn't support video for Android but they are working on it.

Tango works on the Atrix and iPhone 4, my wife and I use it. I do not believe any other video chat app will currently work cross platform with the Atrix.

I know we had the fix before but after the mandatory update of y! messenger it no longer works... I was wondering if anybody has an updated fix?
One of the reasons why I bought this device was for its front facing camera and purported Video Chat capability. Being that this device uses the Google Android OS, I assumed that Google Video Chat was possible. However, this is not the case and I have been patiently waiting for a software update to enable to this function. Do you know if anything is in the works? And if not, why wouldn't this device be eligible for Google Video Chat?
I had the same problem. Ended up using tango and it works.

Google video chat support is hit or miss in gingerbread. Try Talk 1.3 Installer on the market, needs root but be warned it can be flaky.

Is the normal video calling possible on Mini Pro or LWW??
I am not talking about chat using skype or gtalk.
My fathers Galaxy S gives option to make video call or normal call when i open contact details.
Is this feature available on these phones.
I have a mini.
I Think if they have a front Camera
and the service provider allows it
yes
I have SK17i
but my provider doesn't allow video call
or it's more like they don't have that technology
No. Of all android phones, only samsung phone with its stock rom had the ability to do videocall not using internet data connection like those on old nokia or sony dumbphone.

mini pro and live walkman supports video call...
ATM mini pro supports video calls though skype..
by any chance can't the developers do some hacks to the stock rom/or make a customized rom/kernel (i doubt the current customized roms/kernels don't have that feature) to add native video calling capability?
its have font camera, im already using to skype video call,

I think it will be a tough work. Though I think they will have to modify the kernel

Hi all.
I am looking for a video editing app that has the ability to merge videos together that i make with my note 2.
I dont care about the effects and all the other stuff they are suppose to do but i do care about the speed of the merging process i would like it to be as fast as possible.
It would be nice if i could get my hands on the Samsung video editor apps for sgs2 and note 2 or sgs3.
I hope any of you can help me.
Ps. plz don't refer me to google play store as i have tried most of them and don't like them as many of them are slow and wants me to upload the videos
Try android video pro
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Androvid pro is one Amazing app.
Theres an app on the play store called movie aid..
I know you dont want play store apps but I use this for uploading/merging videos adding my own sound track with transistions/text on screen etc etc.
Cant fault the app

I just use samsung video editor - great app. You could find it on xda or samsung progs. I'm on holiday only with note2 so i dont have link but if you search for that app you find it. On xda is version 3.52 if i have good memory (approx 70 mb).
