You can try fring, another app.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
I was going to ask this same question, so I am going to bump this.

The reason QIK doesn't work is because CM7 is Android 2.3 and QIK hasn't updated their app to work with 2.3. It has nothing to do with CM7 or any kernal or whatever you have installed! This is a known problem and until QIK gets off their butt and fixes this, you have to use other apps like Tango, Fring and other Video Chat apps in the market.
To my knowledge, QIK is the only one that hasn't updated to 2.3 yet.....WHY, who knows...LOL
Try out tango, it runs in the background with virtually no battery drain.

Is there a modded .apk for Netflix floating around somewhere? I had the official on my Inc1, and no official yet for Inc2. I tried a modded .apk from the DX, but all I got was a white screen and no sound.
This is one thing I really miss from my old phone...that and root, lol...but alas I have GB, and I'm stuck.
Thanks guys

If you are in GB there is a patch out there that fixes the white screen. I don't have the link cuz I'm working. If you google search RMK netflix patch u should find it. But you do need root for this to work. If you don't have it sorry for the tease.

I get sound but no video with those.
EDIT: Well after installing the patch it's working great. I'm running gingersense rom.
I'm not rooted, but I'll check out the link in the 2nd post

As I said, I'm not rooted, and there's not an official Netflix.apk for us yet.

Best I could get with any modded apk on XDA was the white screen with sound, but now that I'm rooted, and running CM7 it works fine

Got it from there... when I open it it asks to update and takes me to the official Netflix app in the market, I'd say it IS the official app. But you are right, it isn't for US per se.
I was just letting everyone know that I got it to work without the patch.
I tried all the apks from the second post and none would install.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Yup! That netflix worked without a problem. I copied the APK into my dropbox folder for easy retrieval for anyone else needing it:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/170406/droid apps/com.netflix.mediaclient-1.apk
Tried it, no dice here. Installed fine, showed my queue. White screen, sound only.

On non-root GB 2.3.3 (OTA update) like OP? With watchable movie playing (not just que selections)?
If so, what is the full .apk name, please?
Hey downloaded this but get a white screen when trying to play a show. Audio is fine.

I too only got a white screen, good audio... Just like with the marketplace app, on non root
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Now the Netflix App is supported in the Marketplace....but I still only get a white screen with audio.
Hoping Netflix updates the app soon.
I'm on the rooted 2.3.3 rom and Netflix won't stream video for me either. Audio is fine, but the screen is white.

hi guys, I recently went from RMK's rom back to CM7 Nightly 24, and I tried to go on CollegeHumor and some other websites (Videobb, VidXDen, etc.) And the videos wont play, but audio will, I've tried all other browsers and this happens to every video I try to play in browser (other than 240p videos and MegaVideo), this only happens on CM7, does anyone know a fix for this?

I had this problem with flash and the stock browser. I dont know what is the problem but since then I've downloaded Opera and the videos play fine.
I tried Dolphin Browser, but it didn't work, I'm on 26 so I hope it'll work. Thanks for the responses so far, I'll be trying Opera today.

I'm assuming these are flash videos that you're having issues with? And you have the latest adobe flash downloaded from the market?
Yes, I'm using the latest version of Flash from the Market.

I can't get some flash videos to work on cm7 with the default browser but it works with opera for some reason. Had to turn the turbo feature off tho.

U can try clearing browser n adobe flash data.
Dolphin browser is the stock browser with a pretty gui added on. Opera and firefox are completely different entities from what I understand.
MODS..searched and searched and no answer so if theres another thread with same question then just merge or delete actually the only other thread i found hasnt had a response since july and its almost end of sept.. so
IS there an app we can use to take advantage of the front camera to make video calls ?

Looking back now I really couldn't find an actual working video app myself...hmmm let me know if you do run into one.
Qik

Check out fring
I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?
Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...
I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.

skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.
Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

Your Skype is working. Do you have icons for Video on it? I've had it before but after upgrade they disappeared.

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.
Can't get YouTube or Vevo apps to play any videos at all and the web versions don't work either... Anyone else confirm this?
