is it Possible to video chat with iPhone users? Or develop an app for andriod users and Os4 users???
Give me some answers or thoughts on this topic.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G
I think we now have to wait for Skype to release they're own video apps. AFAIK this was possible via Fring but then Skype had that whole fit over it & made Fring remove the service.
So at the moment, i think we just have to sit back & wait.

Hopefully they dont take long to release this skype app, i found the apk for skype 3 but then found out its not for video calls and it only works in the uk and some other countries.

you might be able to use fring to go between them, yes it has no skype but if i'm not mistaken you can still use fring video chat on both devices

Wow...I didn't even realize that Fring didn't have skype anymore...I have no use for this app now...goodbye!
They got overloaded by all the evo and iphone users. Skype was hurting on their end as well.
As far as video chat goes, I was hoping to use my Gmail account to initiate a video call/chat with a friend of mine using her Gmail also via Fring. Come to find out...Fring doesn't support this either!

Hi,
This is a new thing for me (yes, I am too late in this kind of VOIP service).
Which one is better for Android, judging for the client app?
If I read from the Nimbuzz at Cyrket, a lot of users complaint about the new version 1.4, Facebook got hacked, etc.
Fring also does not look satisfying.
So, if you are using this, which one do you recommend? and why?
For me, client reliability and network / connectivity are the most important.
Thanks for sharing !
Damn ...
I found that NimbuzzOut is not supported on Nimbuzz Android app
I want to use it to make international calls to land-line / mobile ...
calling to mobile and landlines works. just tried it. it took cash from my skype account
edit: i see. nimbuzz have their own system.
So, if I buy Skype credits ... then I can make call to mobile and landlines using Nimbuzz client, right? Because there is no native Skype client for Android ...
I prefer Nimbuzz own call system (NimbuzzOut), because it is much cheaper compare to Skype.

Yes if u have a skype account you buy skype credits and in nimbuzz justr login to your skype account .Voila.
Can you send SMS with either?
Nimbuzz says it sends it but it actually doesnt. havent tried with Fring.
..I read in the other thread about Nimbuzz that "it´s is always connected and it does not support push notification, so is draining alot battery.."
Well I used fring before, which was enough for my needs to have several account (skype,icq...), than I tried Nimbuzz and liked to have my Faceb. account, cool..BUT: the drain is real! Fring need much less battery!..but no FB
nimbuzz doesnt appear to have sip support in android client yet, big turn off for me, since im trying to consolidate messenger/communications apps.
sipdroid sounded like crap on my phone
fring seems pretty good, sip aim msn support and sip sounds really good quality, except its UI is ugly as balls, anyone know a way to skin it differently?
ive been using google voice with a gizmo5 number and setting up the sip account in fring and it connects pretty nicely for voip, its nice so far when i am home and have no cell reception and someone calls my cell(google voice number) and it sends the call to my sip client(fring)
I've tested both for making Skype-out calls. Both work fine. I'd prefer Nimbuzz because of the interface. But is it just me, or is there no dialer in Nimbuzz? This is the only reason I'm sticking with Fring at the moment...
I gotta say that I tried both and Nimbuzz was a clear winner for voice quality over wifi to Skype friends. Fring also has a slight delay in audio.
But I've kept Fring because of fring-a-ling (SIP calls) which work fine.
Does anybody know of any VOIP calling to international numbers for absolutely free for windows mobile. Cause im sick and tired of 200 dollar bills coming into my mail.
Thanks.

Absolutely free. I'm sure we would all want that.
Free calls to landlines don't exist. But what's wrong with Skype? The rates are ridiculously low.
http://www.skype.com/prices/callrates/
I've used fring. My landline is much cheaper. But if you add up all the minutes, It becomes expensive, especially to germany and UK. It's like 29 cents/min. Thats ALOT.
One of the main reasons that people like me got the evo, was for the video chat. Now that Fring no longer uses Skype, that front cam hasn't been touched for a long time.
Is there any other way to video chat with people on the computer? My girlfriend doesn't have a smartphone that can use fring. I was hoping maybe we could use Yahoo or MSN but i can't find one that uses web chat...any help?
You could use Sipdroid if you both have SIP accounts, and the one on her end supports video chat.
(SIP is an open framework, more like email; it's not a closed network like AIM, YIM, WLM, etc.)
Skype is in beta, I really hope they include video chat eventually =/
Was really hoping to be able to do this as well.
Just a quick question, as skype is not available for the Galaxy S, can anyone recommend an alternative app?
I still want to use my skype account, and the credit on that to make calls, mainly to france.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nimbuzz can use skype accounts (as well as a lot of others...)
I suggest to give it a try

Thanks.
It seems like the best option, but can I make skype-out calls with it using my skype credit?
you can also use Fring which supports Video Calling over IP
I'm still looking for one that will allow me to chat via video with pc skype users.
Thanks guys. I'll give these a try tomorrow.
Why can't Skype just make a proper app for Skypeout, eh
There was a android version out, but limited to some mobiles, providers and just USA i think..
Dunno why no skype app is available for us..
Skype blocked Fring.
Nimbuzz works on SGS and supports Skype out... Few bugs but ok to use.
And that's it, nothing else for skype available at the moment
I use Nimbuzz but like others mentioned it is pretty buggy.
Searching will find 'com.skype.android.lite.apk'
Haven't tried it, but it is available.
so Apple's Facetime is somewhat unique since we can't do Video calling over IP on the SGS
Thanks guys. Now using Nimbuzz, found my Skype credit, now testing over the weekend
Edit: Crap, the calls go through, ring, but when the person on the other end picks up, there is silence at both ends. Any ideas?
We can't do video chat using Google Chat? I'm surprised!
for moment whe can use iMovicha ... this program allow video chat also with client pc or with other phone with the same program instaled .. but , whe miss fring or some version skype for android
I wonder when someone creates a facetime compatible app (either on PC or android or any other device).
Would be great..
And why skype isnt able to make a new androidversion is also a good question..
Is video.call possible with this phone? My wife has a galaxy sl and can do video call. Does the captivate glide have this capability? I've done it with gtalk and skype.

Yes. I have done it with Skype, Fring and the google one I think is Gtalk.
I have done it with skype and gtalk as well. On my wifes galaxy sl it has an option for video call when she makes a normal phone call. Does this phone have that type of option?

What I do have is Contacts from Skype that I have merged with my Google Contacts allow me to make a skype video call. It has the option "Video call with Skype"
I went to Contacts ---> Groups --> and choose my Skype user name and can see all my Skype contacts and those contacts have the "Video call with Skype" option.
Worked just fine calling my friend's Xperia Play VZW over Talk. Front camera was better than his
is there any way to have video calls via dialer? i've got free video calls, not data so I don't want to use skype or talk
Ask you're survive provider what app they support in free video calls, dialer has no ability to make video calls.

Seconding dudejb here -- this is done through some app provided by that carrier, which may only be available on phones sold by that provider. Even if they won't willingly provide you with the app, hope is not completely lost -- you can dump the APK from a friend's Android phone, or get creative with an OtG cable on a demo unit at one of their stores. No guarantees that'll work though -- it may depend on some weird framework or hardware inside their phones.
any changes?
Hi, I've tried to search forum in this topic without success, so I need a clear answer for this question: is there any ROM supporting native video calls at the moment for i927?
And the second question (no need for very clear answer ) - anybody found any way to make native video call with i927? I thought this device is part of Galaxy S II series of phones which were declared to support such calls, but I'm quite confused now and afraid of being mislead...
Hello.
I don't see the qik t-mobile video chat in the note 2. It was pre-installed when I was using the S2.
what video chat app are you guys using?
skype... you can video chat while typing a message to the other person... plus they don't have to be on their phones...

I use skype also, works perfectly and video quality is great.
Qik got purchased by Skype. Skype is know owned by Microsoft.
Skype is good Video/Audio chat service.
Google Talk works not bad too.

Mostly everyone I speak to is on G+ so we can hangout or video chat on there, but Skype is a good alternative. Especially since the other person doesn't have to be on their phone.
thanks for all the replies,
If the other person is on t-mobile, and I use skype to video chat his cell phone. Is the video chat going to be free?

Skype to skype is always free, data will be used (or wifi), but no minutes from plan.
