I know it works on the international version of the s2 but I want to know if it's working on this one . I'm thinking to switch over from a sensation (found one like new on local cl).

Yes...it sure does. Might need to enable it in settings menu, but it works.

*might , I take it as you don't use Skype video chat on a cell? If you have a tmobile version of s2, and you happen to have a Skype account, could you test it for me?

It works i have done it
It works. I used it the other day to chat with a PC client. There is an option in the settings menu that you need to toggle for video calling. I think I was on WiFi when I made the call, but I just got a message that on 3G it will use up a lot of data, so I'm assuming that means it works on 3G.

I said "might" because after installing it, I immediately went to settings and turned it on. I did test it and confirmed it worked just fine,... the "might" part was only in regards to going into settings.
I also have confirmed, yes...u need to enable video calling in settings.
Video chat works for me. I tested it with a friend that also has a T-Mobile Galaxy SII. You just have to enable video chat in Skype settings first.
Thanks all, I'm contacting the seller right now.

I just finished a video call from Colorado to Belarus, talking with a friend there. It worked great, a little lag once in awhile, but I think that was on her end, they have poor internet service, my Tmobile has faster download speeds. I thought if any one was looking for a working video call from your phone to someone that does not have a awesome phone like us, this works, Yahoo sucks, because front camera does not work with it.

How exactly do you do video in skype, I have yet to see an option for it, on either the SGS2 or my Tablet that is supposedly supported.
You need to goto settings in Skype and activate video calling. It will say you device is not optimized yet for Skype, but for me it works fine.

I did an hour long Skype video chat with a friend in Mongolia yesterday with my sgs2. It was over wifi and worked very well. The call dropped once but I think it was her crappy mongolian internet at fault.

Can you describe the problem more clearly? Was the video icon not there? Did the video calls fail to connect? Did the video only work on one side?
Did you try rebooting or restarting Skype?

The video icon was there. If I choose video call option, it connects bu voice call only, the video won't even start.
Same if someone tries to call me.

Yes, they do have a free version in the market that allows over wifi only. The paid version allows you to use over 3g/4g. I haven't tried it over 3g/4g yet but wifi works great.
I got it free on Amazon a few moons ago. The early versions were pretty meh, but the last updates work great over 3/4G and WIFI.
Perfect app.

This is my problem for almost a week. I can only send sms if i turn off my data package or if im conected to wifi. When im using my phone's data package (4G) i cant send sms. MMS works fine always. Problem is i cant be conected to wifi all the time or turnining off/on my data to use sms.
It happens on GB or ICS. I also returned to stock via odin and the problem is still there. I tested my sim on my other phone and everything works perfect. I can send sms no matter if my 4G shows on. But not in this phone. So it seems is not SIM related. I called tmobile and after endless steps and instructions i reboot my phone. It sent only 1 sms and second try failed...until now. I checked my Message Center number and its correct. When sms fails and i look into status it shows error code 1. Can somebody please help me???? I been using SEARCH...for a week....tried everythig i found Now...i need to ask for ur expertise.....thanks a lot in advance.

Hmmmmm i have no idea why this is lol. Have you tried using other sms apps like gosms and handcent?
For go sms you need to check the box that says your stock sms is uninstalled. Handcent uses their own service instead of stock's. Try those two out

Right now companies cant send sms while is connected to 4g ,
It is by nature that the modem to turn the 4g radio off , send the sms and turn it back up, u dont see it cuz it happends in a seconds. Or something like that

Hi,
I am running ICS 4.0.4...using stock messaging or Go SMS.
Is there any way to fix the MMS over WiFi calling issue? It's awful. Even though group SMS works within Go SMS, it fails if I'm on WiFi calling, and my friends hate using GroupMe. Are there any APN settings I can change? a different MMS.apk app I can use?
I am rooted FYI.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig
Try Samsung's fix. Turn Wi-Fi on. Open gmail and send an email to yourself and attach a pic using the acct registered to for your phone. Once you get that, try sending an mms to yourself. You should get it fairly quickly.

Yes it's a permanent fix. 2nd level tech support at tmo told me about this a few months ago and its worked for me and my wife's phone several times when I've flashed a new Rom that mms over Wi-Fi hasn't worked.

I believe the issue with GOSMS themselves been testing out MMS over wifi, so far i found it works fine with the stock MMS app and Handcent SMS. Going to try some other apps and see if they work.
Seems i may go back to HandcentSMS until GOSMS fixes it.

Thats because it doesnt work. Thats why these devs made it work with the stock DEODEX version or any other custom roms.. I want to see a video from the person that has "achieve" this. Because all I get is when on WIFI, and I send a MMS, 4G comes on real quick to send it and receive it then it switches off.

Im the one who originally posted the Samsung fix several months ago. I have used it after MMS over wifi not working on several ROMS after initial flash, including my current ROM Beastmade (odexed).
Here is your requested video. I sent an MMS to myself, and you can see 4G never turns on. Only wifi uploads/downloads.
Here you go!
MMS only works over data! If on wifi calling it will switch over to data to send and if data is off it will not send.

That's incorrect! If you watch the video i posted 4g never turns on. Also, i just tried it after turning data off and it went thru. If you'd like a friendly $100 PayPal wager I'd be happy to post a video showing it
