Basically i own the One X+ on ATT here in the states and my wife owns the new iPhone 5. We have both never done video calling before so new to this. Just want your guys' input in what app is best for our two phones to video call each other over both 4g/3g network and wifi. We only have wifi at home so on the go would be using mainly 4g as we luckily live in an area where 4g is everywhere.
I've tried Tango but even with 4 bars on 4g network the video quality was kind of crappy and choppy. We were even just 10ft away from one another to try it out and still choppy, not very clear video calling.
Basically what's the best app for quality in the video call over 4g and wifi? I would assume all apps would work great over a good wifi connection but we are on the go a lot so will depend more on 4g connectivity over the ATT network.
Haven't tried the famous Skype app yet as the best reviews doing research all point to Tango. Just not impressed at all with the Tango video quality over Skype.
If it helps my device is rooted and running Elegancia custom rom. My wife is stock iPhone software.
Skype,tango,gtalk,Google plus

same situation
my fiancee has the iphone 5 and i have the hox+. we use skype, and it does just fine. it seems to work a little better on my end than the iphone end.
OoVoO
I use OoVoO
It's free app and also works great with 3G or 4G also
And it has desktop software too
so you can call on computer also (Just like Skype) .... isn't it great.....

So I'm on DasBAMF, and tango video calls worked fine before I was on this. I can see other people, but it seems to not be getting access to my camera. There's a little black screen in the bottom of the corner where my picture should be.
I'd post this in the thread for the rom but I don't have the permission yet.

I found that it doesn't work well with 3G - either voice and/or video go in and out. Hopeing it gets better soon
It worked fine on 3G before I switched to DasBAMF though, and my friend who's using her iPhone has it working fine over AT&T 3G.
Video was choppy over 3G but worked between my wife's iphone4 and my phone the other night. Both of us on VZW 3G.
That choppiness is horrible with mine - but I only had 2 bars in 3G only area (could be my problem)
Tried tango over 4G and and iphone on wifi. Worked fine, quality was great.
Unfortunately, Tango drains my battery in the background even when its not running. Had to uninstall it.
Can anyone comment on the quality when video calling on 4G (Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt)?
(and state what app you used, Tango, Fringe, etc)
Ive only been able to try it with people on other carriers like sprint, which didnt work super well because (i think) they didnt have a good signal...
thanx

I use Tango with friends and family on Verizon, Sprint and AT&T with a variety of phones (Evo 4Gs, Samsung Captivates, Droid X, etc) and it has worked exceptionally well even on 3G, so I imagine over 4G it would be even higher quality.
I've tried out the skype video several times and the video/audio quality was fine. could receive everything all clear and was sending just the same. this was over 4g, not 3g.
If you are using skype then I assume you are rooted?
thanx for the response

oh yes i am. i was using the froyo version a month back running bamf rom. then i switched to gingerbread (synergy rom) and that version didn't work. but a new one just came out that works apparently.
Regarding qik Video Chat, I believe the commercials advertised that this is available via wifi which is pretty lame (same as original facetime i believe). Does anyone know if this will become available on a normal data connection and if so will it be compatible across networks?

PS: Are you cooking up a rom for this one Mikey Mike?
Works over 3g (4g) for me and other people i talk to on at&t. Dont use qik lite though. Use the other one lite is wifi only. Also i have been testing tango and fring which i hear is better. With fring you can videochat with 4 people.

Skype works just fine for me too.
I would like to use video chat for ASL (sign language). In order to use it for signing, the hands need to not blur too much when moving. Can anyone recommend which of the video chat programs might be the best for that purpose? Thank you.
Qik video chat works over 3g for me.

Great info guys, thank you. Can anyone confirm it works across networks? Specifically ATT to TMOB. How is the quality compared to a web cam... Looking to keep up with the GF when away on business.

Hello Forum,
Not sure if this is a Amaze issue or just a Tmobile 4G issue.
It seems that whenever I want to stream a video one it lags to open up and when it does open up it always gets interupted and seems to have to load again and I get that clock symbol that it is clocking.
I check and even when I have full bars and 4G running full it still seems to happen. I live in the Miami area and supposedly it has good 4G coverage.
I even tested it next to my friend's phone who has Iphone (not even the 4s) on AT&T and we both streamed a video and his started automatically while mine took like 7-8 seconds to open and play.
If anyone has any input or advice, please let me know.
Cuz according to Tmobile commercials especially the ones run during Xmas with elves it should be lightning fast....
Thanks
Sounds like you're throttled..lol

No, not at all. I have the 5GB Plan and I never go over... Not even close...
I cant believe the little response..
Is anyone else having this problem??
Could people please comment either if your is super fast or having same problem I am having....
Thanks
I have the 5G plan also..I go over it once in awhile. And I have experienced throttle...from what you're describing sounds like a throttle (to me). Which APN are you using? Have you upgraded your SIM card?
You can also check how much data was used with that T-Mo app. MyAccount. I need to use that because I stream and download tons of crap a month..

try getting speedtest app from the market and run a few tests check your ping and speed, wireless net speeds vary greatly.
whats site are you streaming from and what is the quality
When I use Skype it is very choppy, am working away from home for 2 months and am wondering if there is a better quality video call app.
I have full hspa+ service well it says H beside the signal bars. Girlfriend is on a new computer, with high-speed internet.
Is there any tips to make it faster? Will oc help I am currently uc to 1.0?
Thanks,
From me and the girlfriend -

Yes underclocking will have a negative effect for Skype quality, and also network speed. If the WiFi available to you when you're away is faster than hspa+, than use WiFi instead. Also you might compare Tango voice and video calling from the market.
