Hi, I've tried a number of recent roms with support for audio video calls over gtalk. I can send video/audio requests to phone devices and pc's etc. However my phone/talk version is not advertising that I can receive audio or video. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this or whether there's an update talk apk anywhere and if so how I may go about updating it to work on my HTC Desire?
Thanks,
Okay, so I'm a total retard and only just realised you have to click on your avatar/name and then check the box to allow video and audio calls. I never had to do this on my SGS2 so never realised it was there. Hopefully this will help anyone else that's wondering why they can send a/v calls but not receive them!

Hi everybody! Thanks for taking the time to read this and help.
I am having trouble with Qik. Whenever I call someone using Qik, I can see the streaming video just fine. The person on the other end can see me just fine, and hear me just fine. However, my phone has no sound when Qik is up. This problem occurs on all connection types, 4g, WiFi, etc.
My Evo is 100% stock, no modifications, and on the most current firmware. Since you cannot uninstall and reinstall Qik, the most I have done is clear the data using the Applications tab in Settings.
Thanks again
Chris
Do you have the same problem if someone calls you?
The person on the receiving end has to press a TALK button to activate their mic.
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..
Hi..
Just wondering whether the new Gtalk(2.3.4) apk work on galaxy 2.3.3..??
Check it out HERE
thank you so much
You can make voice and video calls but can't receive. In video calls you see the other person but they can't see you.
exactly .... In fact, they say:
What doesn't work:
- Cannot receive calls
- In video calls my video is not transmitted
- When the other person has video support you cannot make voice only calls (I dont care much for video calls, and I dont want to waste my 3G data for video when I only want to make a voice call).
- Defaults to rear camera (no way to change it)
I tried skype support for the answer to this but no luck. Does anyone here know how to check skype voicemails from your Inc 2?... I get notifications that I have new voicemails but no way to actually listen to them.
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...
