Isn't skype a verizon only thing? I also read skype only allows 3g (no wifi), which sucks.

But a evo, switch to sprint.

I downloaded the qik for evo 4g app off the market. Seems to work, has a video chat option on the main screen. Using a Vibrant so no front cam unfortunately, but rear cam seems to work so far.

Try Tango (tango.me) works on Android + Iphone, I haven't tried myself.

The Brazilian I9000 (I9000B) has native Videocall support. Maybe I could extract the APK for you?

Tango works perfectly, Tango has no competition when it comes to videocalling.

(DEV) Skype with Video addon - 4G

Android Lovers ,
Just got a link to a leaked built of Skype with Video conferencing.
The only drawback is it is working only on 4G devices , such as Thunderbolt, Epic 4G, Vibrant 4G etc
Need some expert devs to work on the apk to re-engineer it to work on other devices.

this really would be awesome, but i doubt it's that easy..

Best Video Chat app?

Ive searched around didnt find much info on the Nitro HD.
I just picked this up for my wife, she loves it.
Whats the best video chat app (preferably free & mainly 3G)?
We tried Fring, doesnt look like front cam is supported.
Tango doesn't seem to work either.
Skype didnt work.
We got ooVoo to work, but quality seems a bit lower than Fring.
Hows the Qik app? It seems its wi-fi only is that correct?
Thanks for the help guys.

Skype works fine, if you don't mind hold the phone sideways.
GTalk (already installed as Talk) also works, which I found sound quality better then skype, but video worse. However you'll need root and SQLite Editor to manually set flag "gtalk_vc_wifi_only" to false in "Google Services Framework" -> gservices.db -> main
and do that after every update.
Or maybe this app will do

Tango works great

skype green on receiving end
Hi all,
The front facing camera of my nitro hd is not working properly in skype. I got my HD nitro recently and updated it to the ICS leak. So I don't know if the problem existed on gingerbread or not. My talking partners can see me but only through very annoying green vertical lines (see attched jpg). However, I can see myself without the green lines on the lg nitro screen. I can also clearly see my talking partners, so no problems here.
Is there a workaround for this? any advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

P.s. It seems like other devices have had similar problems.
can't include links becaus I'm a new user, sorry, just google
green lines skype video support

Google Hangouts "Camera Error"

Running Imperium Initiative. Has anybody tried using the new Hangouts app for video chat, and if so, have you been able to send outgoing video? Incoming video is fine, but outgoing just displays my G+ picture and a toast notification "Camera Error."

Same problem here on Nexus 4 - seems to be a specific problem with LG branded phones. On my other Galaxy S2 it is working ok. After trying a video chat and a camera error I must reboot the phone to get camera work again,
BTW, if you open Google+ and initiate a video hangouts there - video should work.

Awesome. Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.
I noticed the same thing with requiring a reboot to get the camera working again. Thanks for pointing out the G+ workaround.

Worked perfect for me. Running Lifeless 14. No camera error and tested video with multi-person hangout this morning. I've also installed the .xml file from _Epic's camera mod, if that's relevant.

I am on stock+root/unlock. I have the camera XML installed and have used it 5 times for vid calls and no problems. Front and back camera's FYI and works great on 4G

Can 2nd that Lifeless 14 runs this flawlessly, I used it for about 20 minutes last night to give my bro a tour of our new house.

I wonder if there's a problem with Imperium Initiative then. I believe Epic's mods are included. I'll probably jump to an AOSP rom soon anyway.

I have the same problem on Optimus G e971 running the carbon Rom from Paulicat. I tried using the XML mod from epic but still the camera error in hangouts. I'll probably try a different Rom soon.

Switched to Venum (which is based off of Lifeless, goo.im has been slow so I needed a rom with faster hosting), and no more camera error. I found a forum post with a few people saying that Beats audio was causing the hangouts video issue, so that's why I switched to a rom with no Beats.
Any of you guys with camera errors use Beats or have some other DSP manager installed?

i have a problem with the video calls under Jedi ROM. I can see ppl they can't. Rom does have BEAT preloaded. How is this related?

I have no idea, and I can't give you a technical explanation. All I know is that while searching around for a solution I encountered a few others who had made the connection that Beats caused problems, and when I switched to a ROM without Beats my Hangouts worked perfectly. I do know that in the past Beats caused various problems for people on the Evo 4g. If you try removing Beats or switch Roms altogether, let me know what happens.
