Fring - SGS front facing camera now working

Fring have just released a new update. The good news is - SGS front facing camera now works just fine. Using Bell I9000m with no firmware update - stock JG9.

It worked before for me
Used it with my brother who got an iPhone 4.
European SGS i9000

Does it work with skype?

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

It's plain fring-to-fring video chat. No special protocol like ICQ or MSN is used.

Oh disappointing.i was going to video call my brother in japan

There is a modified skype app in the Hacking and Development section that supports video chat. I think you have to be on a gingerbread leak though. I'm on EG22 and it works great!

I would think it work seeing as how Skype owns qik now. But I could be wrong. Everyone I know has qik on there phones so that's what I use.

Skype works if you're on bamboozle rom. You need to have a modified skype app though. I believe from the I9000 xda thread. Look around.

ooVoo works best for me - but remember one important thing - both of you must be on the same software - if you want ot talk to your friend and he is on ooVoo, you must be on ooVoo - you can also have more than one video chat software on your phone to say accomodate another friend that has Qik, therefore you must be on Qik also.

Found the modded skype video chat its freaking awesome. First acceptable video chat from my epic and all my friends have skype. I'm on eg22 as well

The Skype app is definitely the way to go all the other apps I used were complete crap. I haven't used gtalk but skype is flawless.

Video Chat LOL

I was doing some video chat with a friend of mine in CA last night.
She was on a iPhone 4 and I was on my Epic Touch running on 4g here in Columbus. The quality of the front facing camera is insane!! She honestly thought I was using my desktop and HD camera vs her Wifi front facing.
If you are looking to do video conferencing with this phone you CANNOT go wrong. You have an amazing quality video output!

What app were you using?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

We were both using Skype

My favorite is oovoo

I'll have to check that one out - Hopefully it's also available for iPhone =)

Honestly, the gtalk video chat works better than anything I've ever used...its not smart enough to scale up quality when on a really good connection, but the performance over 3g is insane. I don't think you could find a better app to use over a 200kb up/down connection lol

Hey guys,
I just downloaded Skype on Sprint epic touch 4g, but no video option on skype. How do you get video chat with skype???
Also, how do you use Gtalk video? I use it from my laptop but what do i need to download to get this working on the phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

Skype > Menu > Settings > Enable Video Calling
it comes stock off.

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.

Native video calling

Is there a way through flashing to enable, native video calling through the stock dialer like on the international and ATT versions? Apparently video calling is a standard of 3g all the way up to HSPA+ .... please help native video calling would be sweet I hate having to use apps.

csipsimple integrates with the native dialer and of course there's gtalk/hangouts though not sure if these are what you're after. Keep a eye out for an update to the cm10 beta as that will have it.
