Hi Folks,
I was just wondering what your thoughts were on how to use the TP2 to do a Video Call
1) At all... The camera is on the back. Some older phones that I have seen have cameras on the front by the screen like the xda.... I think I am correct.
2) With such things as skype. I love video calling off my laptop using skype, but wondering how achievable it is to do this on the TP2?
Thanks,
Sam

If there is, probably it would only work over WIFI, as I doubt EDGE really offers enough bandwidth

Maybe with a mirror? That could work I guess...

Take out your camera and tape it to the front side of your phone, DUH!!!
LOL!!

Or I guess you could flip the phone front to back really quick... Now THAT would look funny in public.
So There Is Any Software For Video Chat?
have you read any of this?
how can you video chat when your screen and keyboard are on the opposite side as the camera? you can get some software that turns the phone into a webcam and you can plug it into your pc and video chat that way.
I think video chat is not just to show your face to other person but you can show them your surrounding for example in the school you can show the lecutre to your friend if he dont come to class.

I agree. I'm really pleased with the default video recording and camera. However, if anyone knows of even better ones, I would like to know.
Has anyone found a program that allows you to use the front facing camera for video chatting?
One that actually works?!?!
there's no such thing (yet)
VZOmobile

yeh its called video calling. nah jokes i've got nothing. But i do hear along the grapevine that Skype is trying to implement the video chat to be released for 6.5. Last I heard its in its very early alpha stages, it would be cool though.
Hi,
Is there an App that does video calling from phone to PC using the front facing camera on GT-I9000b?
I've searched quite a bit for it, but so far it seems that only tango uses the front facing cam.
Thanks!

Hello carlosrjbr,
I'm not sure, but you might take a look at Fring. Heard some rumors you could videochat when you are signed into WLM.
And on other forums I saw that it might not be available yet, as it isn't available for other platforms also (iOS, iPhone 3/4).
Hope you find this information usefull.
Sincerely yours,

Mac has facetime.
Try ooVoo that might work
Yeah, I tried ooVoo... unfortunately it doesnt support the front cam in the i9000b...
I guess I'm out of luck then, I'll try to contact ooVoo support to see if they can resolve the camera issue.
Thanks for the replies!
Yahoo messanger try it.

Hy
Im using Fring for quite a bit and works like a charm with front camera. Works on wifi and hsdpa/hsupa networks. Phone to phone and phone to pc.
DroidcamX works like a charm.
Fring has a camera issue with only the international versions of the Galaxy S. Btw, how do you do fring to pc?
I'll test the one mentioned above... Thanks guys

yeah i been tring a few vid apps and tango seem the best. I was able to chat with my aunt in alberta on her iphone using my SGS from ontario. I dont like fring because you have to register and its a pain.
I wish it was just as easy as apples facetime and not resort to 3rd party apps or if we can get skype video calls.
Dumb question can you make video calls from android to android devices without 3rd party apps? Like SGS to SGS or SGS to Desire etc

If your carrier supports it you can do a video call to any phone with video calling support including Nokias dating back several years.
Just choose "video call" instead of call when you select a contact or use the video call icon in the dialler.
well when ever i try that it says video call failed. Well this is calling to an iphone 4 so its not a prefect test.
Iphone 4 doesn't support videocall :/
then explain why i was chatting with my aunts iphone 4 using tango yesterday
The iPhone 4 only supports video calling through use of wi-fi or 3G (in some cases). The actual old school network video call is not supported by the iphone.
So you can use tango, skype or facetime (with another iphone), but you can't use the video call from the dialer when using it with an iphone.

Hi, my girlfriend use an iphone 4 and well obviously I use SGS2.
is there a video call app other than skype? we've tried fring and qik, but really bad video quality.
so is there an app that will work for android + iphone 4?
i've tried the modded skype by pulser and the other dev(sorry i forgot), it has the video call feature but when use the video option, my gf accept the call but skype made it voice call, hence fail to video call~~
skype from phone should be able to make calls to desktop pc and iphone 4's skype right?
Try Tango...

To be honest, the video calling feature on android sucks. On iphone face time calling is clear and reliable, were as on android you have to resort to 3rd party apps, which pretty much suck. So you can't expect cross platform calling to work properly when android to android pretty much sucks. Av tried nearly all the available video calling apps, and none impressed me in comparison to face time calling.

What about ooVoo? You can call mobile-mobile and pc-mobile with ooVoo. Take a look at their homepage, which is their name between www and com
Whatever works best for you!

well it says in their site coming soon for SGS2? found in browser's market but incompatible with device.
looks promising though.
I've used Skype from my phone to my friend's iPhone and the video quality was brilliant. Just make sure you're on WiFi. Don't forget, this is a requirement for facetime on iPhone, so that's the only way to compare quality.

which skype version you use? i've tried both but it direct me to voice call automatically.
Skype 2.0 (v05) / video-call patched to work with SGS/SGS2 and many other devices!

thanks for the link but i have them already.
speaking of skype, i have problems video calling to iphone 4. calling to desktop computer has no problem though. when i called ip4, it connects to video for moment(but just black with the video buttons) then immediately changed to voice call and it will be changing forth or so until i end it. any clue?
Just tested with v5 and iPhone4 and iPod4 sgs2. One autoswitch to audio only in 20 test calls on wifi. Also limiting resolution in advanced options might help. I left it on auto.
One note. If your GF on iPhone has app off in suspend and not in app then after she accepts call she has to enable video manually by selecting camera icon and choosing which camera she wants to use.

Perfectly smooth video on Tango for me too.
