Not today but more than month ago

It is available on the marketplace now in case you didn't know

Will it work on phones without a front cam?

Yes sir, it'll use the rear camera

It works very well. Just a pity you can only communicate with Tango users on PC or mobile. At present it's better than nothing but it's about time the Skype app. was shipped.

Just had a conversation with my sister who is 200 miles away, she was using a Motorola zoom tablet, I was using my titan, call was over WiFi, picture and sound quality not too bad At all.

It's very easy to miss a call with that, I wonder if this will be addressed with the Skype app since it won't be baked into the OS until next year.

Wish I had a front facing cam phone. I downloaded tango anyways

I downloaded it, but it seems it has to have the FFC. All I get is black, and the video of the person I was calling didn't come through.

Something must have been wrong because mines worked perfectly fine on the dvp

Same think happened to me... Tried calling another phone and tried calling the computer.

Samsung has just released their own version of Tango, could be something to do with drivers. Can't find it on the browser but from the phone it's in the new releases.

The one from Marketplace doesn't support video on my Omina 7.

There is now a samsung specific version of tango AND an HTC one (for titan and radar) on the market place. Works fine on my phone.

Tried regular Tango and the Samsung version on my Focus.
The person you're calling sees the image from your rear-facing camera for a split second, then it goes black and there's no way to get it back.

Please note, tango will eat your battery

few qustians before buying HTC DESIRE... please help

when you take pictuers on the HTC DESIRE
lets say when you take a picture holding the device on landscap - does it save the picture as landscap? i mean that does you have to do ROTATE to photos to save them on the computer?
is there any site i can see all the androind app now? so i can know what ill have and what i can't have..
or i have to check the market app only from a androind device?
thats it for now. still having problems deciding what phone to take - Desire or iPhone 4...
the bad thing that the desire have no front camera for future things like making video calls on fring or mesnnger...
p.s. sorry for my bad English.. hop you can help me! thanks!
Yes, if you take the picture in landscape, the picture will be saved in landscape. Same for portrait. In addition, you can edit the orientation of the photo in the photo viewer.
There is an official Android Market site. But it's not very helpful. You can't push applications to your device and the selections are not complete. Appbrain is a better alternative.
Btw, you should know that video calling is not a "future thing". That's what Apple wants you to believe. The front facing camera was so underutilized that manufacturers have since decided to abandon it. Once Apple adopted it, it's suppose to be the next big thing....sigh...
For finding all the available apps you can try http://www.androlib.com , but it might be a bit hard to find the things you want.
And regarding the videocalling, you can actually videocall with fring on your desire, but it obviously will use the rear facing camera. So it kind of depends on what you want to do, is it really i want to see someone when i call them or i want to show them what i am seeing at this moment.
well is there any HTC phone that is android with fron cam also? somthing like the desire.... ??
i think ill be using the fron camera a lot when i be abrod and want to make calls over fring with WIFI connection...
Quick question for you Amir...do you video call now? You say future things like you're expecting it to be the next big thing. It's been available for years. Why have you never thought to do it before but now seemingly would let it colour your purchasing decisions?
i had N95 for lots of time.. and i did use video call but by then it wans't possiple to use it over WIFI and with fring..
so i allways want that like this.
I had an N95 also and was able to use Fring to make Skype video calls a long time ago.
My question was basically , knowing that video calling is a requirement, why don't you stick with Nokia, who rarely leave out the front cam? Symbian is improving at a rapid pace to try and keep up.

That's not 100% correct. The camera hardware is supported just fine...the protocol that is used to make 3G video calls is what I think is missing (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and so negated the inclusion of a front cam.
I had a E71 but never used video calling once. I had it for 3 years also.

It's old tech but the carriers here in Europe REALLY thought it would take off. Obviously, Apple being Apple, people will start video calling like they've never done before.
Mp3 players were available before the iPod, but no one wanted them...until Apple did it. Mobile phones could install apps and surf the web before the iPhone...no one wanted to, until Apple did it. People have had cameras on their phones for years...but the dawn of the iPhone has seen it remain the most used camera of ANY kind in the world on Flickr since it was released. Tablet PC's wallowed in the wilderness of computing for 10 years before the iPad...now it's the hottest selling device this year.
Apple people tend to start doing things they had no inclination to do before Apple told them it was awesome to do said activity. Expect the same to happen to video calling.
To be honest right..... video calling is the thing of the ancient past. I'm sure the Pharaoh's used video calling in there time. But HD voice calling should be the future

OK thanks a bunch. How do you like it over Android?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
I bought a Samsung Focus to use while my Atrix is at motorola trying to fix a wifi issue. So far I like it a lot. I have had zunepass for sometime now, and being able to use it on my phone has been a huge plus. It has been weird not having multiple homescreens and widgets. Android has been better for customization and I like the hardware of the atrix better than the focus. WP7 is nice because it just works well and has a refreshing UI. My atrix has always crashed about once a week. The focus has been running awesomely for about 3 weeks now.
If you would like to buy my focus from me to try out send me a PM. I got a good price on it and would be able to offer it to you for the same price. I am thinking of switching to the dell venue pro or one of the new phones being released soon.
Also, I just followed the steps on these forums to install Mango on my focus. It was pretty easy. If you ever flashed custom ROMs to your android, you should be able to handle it easily.

It's not hard at all. I bought my Focus used on craigslist a few months ago for $90. Incredible phone.

Want to buy a window 7 phone(tmobile)

I need help picking, I love the radar 4g and the lumia 710 but they don't support micro SD card!(8g of memory won't work for me). Im thinking about getting the dvp(dell venue pro) but I need some window phone owner input!.
Don't want to purchase an unlock phone due to me not being able to use 3G or 4G.
I will be purchasing this phone second hand due to the fact window 8 phone around the corner just want to spend sometime with a window phone to see how it goes! Thanks

There's a good thread here that is worth reading.
If you decide to get a DVP, make sure you are familiar with the process before changing the micro SD card - there are lots of threads about this topic on the DVP forum. You can expand the capacity to 32GB by replacing the micro SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=799
There are different versions of the DVP for AT&T and T-Mobile. It may not matter as much if you can't use 3G but worth mentioning.
The DVP was my second wp7 device and after they fixed all of the bugs was a major love affair. Had Nokia not brought such outstanding offerings to the table, I'd still be using the DVP, that thing was a beautiful tank.
Look on Craigslist for an HD7...you can upgrade to 32GB and it has the latest software...unless T-Mo comes out with something slick, I'll be rocking this for quite a while!
Will be looking into both device. Anyone else want to put in there two cents?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
My vote goes to the DVP. I get the privilege of using a lot of devices, and after Mango the DVP is still my favourite WP7 device. It's heavy and the camera is pretty mediocre, but it oozes quality and is the only portrait QWERTY slider available. Helps that the keyboard is awesome, too!
Also, they're very cheap these days. Especially the T-Mobile banded ones.
The DVP looks really boss. I didn't get one basically because I was unsure about the presence of the Italian locale and the 256mbs of RAM got me worried. Also, I didn't really rely on Dell's commitment to WP7, so I was unsure about the update pattern. The 710 is a good and reliable phone too, it has Nokia goods on board and the screen is actually ok. The design is a little uninspiring tho. Just personal opinion, my gf actually likes it better than my 800, she finds it too squared 0.o

IMHO they use it only because they are very accustomed to it. Last summer I tried using a 9780 for a few days and coming from a Desire I found it the most painful phone experience I ever had. The interface is unintuitive as hell, you need to hit the keys dozens of times just to do things that can be done in a couple of taps even on the worse Symbian device. The browser is pathetic, everything keeps lagging and freezing 24/7 and there are no decent apps at all. Also, if you lack BIS and BES this phone is as good as a 3310. Lame, horrid experience. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it's a nightmare. Maybe the newer phones (like the 9900) are better, but forget about having any support: they won't be updated to BBOS10, and probably RIM will manage to fail even before the end of 2012.

The HD7 is a solid phone,I've been rocking it since November. Only problem I have with it is if I'm in my house or bedroom especially when trying to stream something, if I put my hand anywhere near the base my connection drops to 2G. Probably has something to do with the trees around my brick house or the poor antenna in the phone.

Before i buy this phone will my current SIM card work with the dell venue pro?
Yes, of course, assuming you don't buy one that is SIM-locked to a different carrier for some reason.
Note that if you want lots of hacks, the Venue Pro is not a good choice. As far as I know, we haven't even managed to interop-unlock it yet. The HD7 (and most other gen1 phones, but not the Venue Pro) can use custom ROMs and WP7 Root Tools.

The picture will be oriented based on the way the phone was when it was captured. That info is encoded in the image and certain sites and apps use it.

I don't think it will get fixed anytime soon. I have had the same picture orientation issue on all my Samsung phones, s2, s4, and now the Note 4. Seems to work good on Samsung apps, stock TW roms, other apps, phones appear to interpret the picture orientation data embedded in the file wrong. Proprietary crap, on my older bose headset made for iPhone, the earbud volume buttons won't work either... They're wired differently.
If this is ongoing issue, will be my first and last Samsung phone! I take lots of pictures of my 4 year old , 2 year old and 6 month old. Everyone texting me that pictures are sideways.

I was just playing with the camera in my office like in your video #3 an getting the same focus issues that you showed. I decided to check the lenses to see if they were smudged or dirty. There were TINY TINY smudges on the focus/flash lens. I wiped it clean and focus was perfect after that. I really hope this is something that can be fixed with updated software because if not, we're going to have to keep the lens on the focus laser pristine, which is going to be a pain. Anyway, I hope this helps you.
Did the verizon varient get the 1.30.709 patch? Mine is still on 1.19.605

I haven't noticed any issues with mine yet thankfully. Hopefully if I do, cleaning it will solve it. For me, cleaning it is second nature...I've always cleaned every camera phone I've owned before taking pics/video.
Haven't had this problem at all. On 1.19. Tried to recreate with different scenarios and could not.

ithink we have to wait for 1.5 as i have 1.3 and still face the same issue some times
I have the same problem too! HTC 10 unlocked, ATT, using HTC software number 1.53.617.5.
It's almost as if the focus is fixed at a short distance, and everything else is blurry. On a perfectly well-lit day outdoors, the landscape looks all blurry (like how my grandpa would see the world without his glasses!)
This is a terribly disappointing, and I've been on call with them for the last 3 days trying to get a replacement.
Finally the "escalation" department calls me, and here's the list of problems: 1) They do not have replacement units readily available, and it'll be a long wait to get one. What's more they'll still put a full holding charge on my credit card. They recommend option (2) below...
2) They tell me that it's quicker to return the faulty phone, refund the money, and order a new one from the store. Well the store is out of "Carbon Gray" which I currently have, but fine I'll be OK with the silver version too. There's an issue here, I had ordered the HTC10 with the $100 promo off (one of the first people to order right after launch) and of course the promo-code is no longer valid. So I'll have to spend $100 more to get a replacement which has a working camera!! And in the two weeks it takes to send in my faulty phone, place a new order and get it shipped, they expect me to have a spare phone around!
As one of the first loyal customers, send the damn replacement unit first, and I'll be happy to return the original right after I receive it. I shouldn't be expected to spend $100 more for a faulty phone that you sent in the first place!
I confirm this issue of all HTC 10, auto focus in video mode is disabled., have to touch the screen to focus.
I will send a report to my contact in HTC.
Bought my 10 in November of last year... Worked great for about 4 months... Started to notice small delays in the camera functions... Head a few times where the lens was dirty and after I cleaned it off, the camera seemed to work fine. Then in May of this year, we take the kids to meet April the giraffe and her new baby Taj, in New York. My camera stopped working all together while I was photographing the giraffes...
It still doesn't work, after a FR of the whole phone and trying tons of so called remedies...
Bought the u11 now... best not let me down...
The 10 is the first HTC I didn't own for at least 3 years...
