Epic <-> PC Video Calling?

What's the best way to go about doing video calling on the Epic with a PC? I don't think Qik can do it, from what I understand Fring used to support Skype, but Skype has since blocked them. What's the next best?
Qik In Touch is what its called. This is why the whole front camera movement has taken place. I run it on my MAC and Windows via boot camp. Google it, it will take you to their website. Or click on the website link for them in the market.
Another thing, I have an Evo, I will forwarn you, the epic's screen is what makes it crisp but the quality is not all that different. Enjoy...

just got my epic today and downloaded the qik in touch app... would u be able to put down some direction so me and my daughter can talk thru a video call when im using my epic and shes using qik in touch on my pc...
I downloaded Qik In Touch - it appears to me that it will let someone view your videos live, but not interact with you like a video call, correct?
i have the epic 4g and cannot get any video calls to connect. got a friend who also has an epic 4g and we cnanot seem to connect to each other. ideas?

If the the both of yall have epic's use fring from the market. It should work great.
I tested fring from my evo to another evo and to a pc via the fing app. I assume my Epic will fare as well.
Worked well, but had the delay you should expect.

What did you use to video call a pc from your evo? I hear skype has blocked fring. Is there another program that accepts fring video calls on a pc?
Sorry for the bit of thread necro, but does anyone know how to go about this? I was excited about the video chat, but no one I know uses an iPhone 4, Epic, or Evo, and I was expecting to be able to talk to PCs with webcams.
i found 2 versions, qik video and qik for HTC evo 4g, 2 different apps, but i didnt found wik in touch.
i was really hoping to do video chat with a pc, hopefully skype will get this thing going ASAP.
I been using Movicha... but is not real good... and I think is a issue with the Epic... only works good with the Evo.. I think the Evo had more develoment interest on developers than the Epic.. so I thinking in retuning my Epic for a Evo..

As far as I know, the first Android phone with a front camera was the Evo (correct me if I'm wrong), which was released a solid three months ago. If it was just a matter of there being existing but currently incompatible software, it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal, but as far as I can tell there's just nothing to fill this need. On top of that, this is all assuming that it should be left up to third party developers, when I think this should have been available in the first place (at the very least, given us a Windows or Flash chat client for Qik).
i can get fring msging and voice calling to work but it says video is not supported when i try with aim or gtalk
yahoo video messenger works. Kinda sucks though. Hopefully they'll improve it. But If you really need phone <-> pc then this is it.
for video from phone <-> phone, I recommend Tango or Fring. I like Tango the most because its super simple and the video seems a bit better. Tango occasionally has an issue with the mic, usually toggling the mic of and on again will get it working.

Where do you get Video messenger from? All I see on the market is Yahoo! Messenger which is text chat only.

And that is because it does not exist or it is not out yet, correct me if i am wrong.
Yahoo just announced the other day that an official messenger app with video for Android is coming out soon, so watch out for that.
Plus Skype is going to release a Galaxy S compatible version of Skype soon as well (other Android phones work with Skype right now). :-(
So for now, it's only phone to phone (via Tango, not my favourite but it works) for us Epic users. I just completed a Tango test call from my Epic to a friend's iPhone 4.

[Q] Call waiting please help

So, I am really getting irritated that you can not dismiss a call or the call wont dismiss itself when you are on call waiting and want to get rid of 1 caller. Then, once you have used the call waiting 1 time on a phone call, since it doesn't disconnect itself when the person you want to dismiss hangs up, there is no option to answer another call when it comes in. There has to be a way to fix this flaw, and there are so many of you intelegent devs out there. was wondering if any of you know a way to fix this. Also if you could, while on 3 way call make it to be able to go back to only one caller on the line without having to hang up on everybody. Thanks in advance for anyone that has a fix for this.
Omg I hate that so muchhhhh. I think its something to do with android cuz this was how it was on my hero

It's actually a CDMA limitation on Sprint's part (network), not anything particular to do with Android.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
i didn't have that problem on my moment
And I've never had it with any phone I've ever had with sprint, and I've been with sprint since about 2000. This is definitely a samsung issue, but all they can tell me is that they are working on it.
I don't know.... I still have that same issue on my touch pro 2 with sprint. My girl has the evo and same **** there too perhaps it is either a sprint thing or cdma thing

No offense but that is bull. We have the issue on our Epcis but not on our Evo, and absolutely not an issue on TP2!
So devs, is there anyway to fix this?
Thank you
Thank you aero1. When I was reading his post, I was like, "I know I'm not stupid." I've had the Touch, Touch Pro, and the Evo, and neither of them had this problem. As far as a fix is concerned, when I first got the phone, I called Samsung about it, and they told me they were working on it, and that they would have an update out for it. But, you know Samsung. The 3-way calling isn't the only issue here. Switching back and forth between calls is hard, if you try to three way someone in, and they don't answer, you have to hang up or just have the entire conversation on their voicemail. If a second person calls you while you're on the line with someone, there is no longer a swap button. I'm saying all this just in case there are others out there like the guy who says this has always been a problem. It's not just a three way calling problem, it's the dial pad.
I have seen this too on.gy epic and my friend with evo says the same
Basically when you are on a call and you get another call you can't answer that without losing the current call...the hold option doesn't work either...I think its a sprint issue...3 way calling is impossible.

But that isn't a problem on the Epic, and I don't think it's a problem on the Evo either. You CAN answer a call without losing the current call on the Epic. I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. The issue is, should you get another call, after that, you don't lose it, you just can't click back over. I have an Evo, and I can assure you that it is not a problem on MY Evo.
Skype Can Do It!
I found a workable/laughable solution to this 3-way calling problem. For $2.99 a month, you can get unlimited calls with Skype, over a wifi, or 4G connection. Sad, I know, but so far, it's worked just fine for me, and has been fairly flawless. I put my number in to show up in the Skype caller ID, so that when I do make calls from skype, they see my number pop up.

Video chat on Epic.

Any app? Running Froyo.
Thanks.

I use Tango, but audio isn't great. Both are on Wifi.
Yahoo chat works well if you have a good connection. If you don't it won't even let you. You'll need to download the messenger and yahoo video ? It tells you what to download extra. I never have any problems. I hear my girlfriend and she hears me as well. Video is fluid the four times I've used it.
It just sucks cause you are sideways during videochat.

Actually the epic version works wa better but it is left out of custom 2.2 roms and haven't really looked for an apk for it. But there are only 2 versions in the market and the one for the evo is the only one that has video chat

tons of threads on this.
Yahoo's good-ish but displays images wrong (yours, specifically) and is about 50MB for both. Lots of PC/Mac users have Yahoo Messenger already.
OoVoo requires recipients to download a new application on their PC but it requires less phone memory (about 3MB) and the images are displayed correctly. Seems more fluid to me as well on 3G.
I just got my epic not quite two weeks ago and it came with Qik pre-installed. Tried it out with my wife (she has an Epic, too) and... while it worked, it didn't look great.
Thanks to everyone. Trying qik right now.

For me Yahoo messenger fit the bill. Although it has an issue putting me upside down, it allows me to video chat with people who do not have smart phones. The quality is pretty good too, if you can get past being upside down.
I'm sure this will be fixed shortly, or hope it is. The first release didn't work at all.
I use tango with no problems

I didn't have that problem. I was also able to use both cameras. I've not tested it on midNIGHT.

Apparently my post was skipped. Oovoo works well and you are shown properly in both your view window and the recipient's view window.
I actually used tango for the first time last night.
well actually it was me, my sister and my cousin here in florida using it with my cousin in new york. We used it on every platform. first we used my sisters iphone 4 and saw our cousin had it so we called her and it was on att 3g with one bar and worked wayyyy better than expected.
there was a few hiccups and then disconnected because of the signal, so we tried with my cousins ipod touch on wifi and we tangoed my cousin in new york (not sure what phone she has but its an android) and it was crystal clear and the audio was clear.
then i wanted to try it out on the epic and it went through with no problems on wifi. it was even clearer than the ipod touch! unfortunately, i have noooooooo service down here in tampa so i couldnt test it out on 3g, but my guess is that if it went through on Att 3g with 1 bar, it will be excellent on sprint 3g.
it also worked to tango my co-worker who happened to visit miami at the same time we came to florida but his end was kinda blurry. it was more like the difference you see when you go from playing a video game in 720p and then watching a tv show in 480i lol
the thing i like about tango is that if someone has tango, it'll show up in the contact list and its as easy as just tapping their name and then tapping the "Video" button. its like an iphone interface.
hope this helps in your decision making!
PS. you dont show up sideways. neither does the other person. my cousin in new york was laying down sideways and the video was still full screen on our end
Is there some sort of way to patch a fix for the front facing camera orientation glitch? I hate being sideways..
I believe oovoo works the best just make sure if a pc user is trying to oovoo just make sure they have the latest version that is compatible so you can video chat with your device,app is free in market.

[Q] Calls/Text wont receive when Data is being used

Hey guys, Im lost as to whats going on. Anytime I use any sort of data intense app, no calls or text come through. I have taken a friends phone, sat next to mine when I'm loading a youtube video on my Epic, called it, rings, but nothing shows up on my phone that I'm getting a call.
FYI Im running Urban Envy with Genocide 2.0 with EF10 Modem. If theres any direction I could be led I'd really appreciate it, as this is becoming a huge annoyance.
Mine does that too even on stock rooted rom. I thought maybe it was just sprints network.
