What's the best way to go about doing video calling on the Epic with a PC? I don't think Qik can do it, from what I understand Fring used to support Skype, but Skype has since blocked them. What's the next best?
Qik In Touch is what its called. This is why the whole front camera movement has taken place. I run it on my MAC and Windows via boot camp. Google it, it will take you to their website. Or click on the website link for them in the market.
Another thing, I have an Evo, I will forwarn you, the epic's screen is what makes it crisp but the quality is not all that different. Enjoy...

just got my epic today and downloaded the qik in touch app... would u be able to put down some direction so me and my daughter can talk thru a video call when im using my epic and shes using qik in touch on my pc...
I downloaded Qik In Touch - it appears to me that it will let someone view your videos live, but not interact with you like a video call, correct?
i have the epic 4g and cannot get any video calls to connect. got a friend who also has an epic 4g and we cnanot seem to connect to each other. ideas?

If the the both of yall have epic's use fring from the market. It should work great.
I tested fring from my evo to another evo and to a pc via the fing app. I assume my Epic will fare as well.
Worked well, but had the delay you should expect.

What did you use to video call a pc from your evo? I hear skype has blocked fring. Is there another program that accepts fring video calls on a pc?
Sorry for the bit of thread necro, but does anyone know how to go about this? I was excited about the video chat, but no one I know uses an iPhone 4, Epic, or Evo, and I was expecting to be able to talk to PCs with webcams.
i found 2 versions, qik video and qik for HTC evo 4g, 2 different apps, but i didnt found wik in touch.
i was really hoping to do video chat with a pc, hopefully skype will get this thing going ASAP.
I been using Movicha... but is not real good... and I think is a issue with the Epic... only works good with the Evo.. I think the Evo had more develoment interest on developers than the Epic.. so I thinking in retuning my Epic for a Evo..

As far as I know, the first Android phone with a front camera was the Evo (correct me if I'm wrong), which was released a solid three months ago. If it was just a matter of there being existing but currently incompatible software, it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal, but as far as I can tell there's just nothing to fill this need. On top of that, this is all assuming that it should be left up to third party developers, when I think this should have been available in the first place (at the very least, given us a Windows or Flash chat client for Qik).
i can get fring msging and voice calling to work but it says video is not supported when i try with aim or gtalk
yahoo video messenger works. Kinda sucks though. Hopefully they'll improve it. But If you really need phone <-> pc then this is it.
for video from phone <-> phone, I recommend Tango or Fring. I like Tango the most because its super simple and the video seems a bit better. Tango occasionally has an issue with the mic, usually toggling the mic of and on again will get it working.

Where do you get Video messenger from? All I see on the market is Yahoo! Messenger which is text chat only.

And that is because it does not exist or it is not out yet, correct me if i am wrong.
Yahoo just announced the other day that an official messenger app with video for Android is coming out soon, so watch out for that.
Plus Skype is going to release a Galaxy S compatible version of Skype soon as well (other Android phones work with Skype right now). :-(
So for now, it's only phone to phone (via Tango, not my favourite but it works) for us Epic users. I just completed a Tango test call from my Epic to a friend's iPhone 4.

Any app? Running Froyo.
Thanks.

I use Tango, but audio isn't great. Both are on Wifi.
Yahoo chat works well if you have a good connection. If you don't it won't even let you. You'll need to download the messenger and yahoo video ? It tells you what to download extra. I never have any problems. I hear my girlfriend and she hears me as well. Video is fluid the four times I've used it.
It just sucks cause you are sideways during videochat.

Actually the epic version works wa better but it is left out of custom 2.2 roms and haven't really looked for an apk for it. But there are only 2 versions in the market and the one for the evo is the only one that has video chat

tons of threads on this.
Yahoo's good-ish but displays images wrong (yours, specifically) and is about 50MB for both. Lots of PC/Mac users have Yahoo Messenger already.
OoVoo requires recipients to download a new application on their PC but it requires less phone memory (about 3MB) and the images are displayed correctly. Seems more fluid to me as well on 3G.
I just got my epic not quite two weeks ago and it came with Qik pre-installed. Tried it out with my wife (she has an Epic, too) and... while it worked, it didn't look great.
Thanks to everyone. Trying qik right now.

For me Yahoo messenger fit the bill. Although it has an issue putting me upside down, it allows me to video chat with people who do not have smart phones. The quality is pretty good too, if you can get past being upside down.
I'm sure this will be fixed shortly, or hope it is. The first release didn't work at all.

I've tried almost all of them and is there any that doesn't put you upside down or sideways? Also.did these apartment do thus on eclair? I wasn't on eclair long enough to video chat.

I didn't have that problem. I was also able to use both cameras. I've not tested it on midNIGHT.

Apparently my post was skipped. Oovoo works well and you are shown properly in both your view window and the recipient's view window.
I actually used tango for the first time last night.
well actually it was me, my sister and my cousin here in florida using it with my cousin in new york. We used it on every platform. first we used my sisters iphone 4 and saw our cousin had it so we called her and it was on att 3g with one bar and worked wayyyy better than expected.
there was a few hiccups and then disconnected because of the signal, so we tried with my cousins ipod touch on wifi and we tangoed my cousin in new york (not sure what phone she has but its an android) and it was crystal clear and the audio was clear.
then i wanted to try it out on the epic and it went through with no problems on wifi. it was even clearer than the ipod touch! unfortunately, i have noooooooo service down here in tampa so i couldnt test it out on 3g, but my guess is that if it went through on Att 3g with 1 bar, it will be excellent on sprint 3g.
it also worked to tango my co-worker who happened to visit miami at the same time we came to florida but his end was kinda blurry. it was more like the difference you see when you go from playing a video game in 720p and then watching a tv show in 480i lol
the thing i like about tango is that if someone has tango, it'll show up in the contact list and its as easy as just tapping their name and then tapping the "Video" button. its like an iphone interface.
hope this helps in your decision making!
PS. you dont show up sideways. neither does the other person. my cousin in new york was laying down sideways and the video was still full screen on our end
Is there some sort of way to patch a fix for the front facing camera orientation glitch? I hate being sideways..
I believe oovoo works the best just make sure if a pc user is trying to oovoo just make sure they have the latest version that is compatible so you can video chat with your device,app is free in market.

This is inaccurate. Simultaneous data and voice is not available unless connected to wifi or 4g. You are able to text and talk. I just had my share today.
Interesting, I thought because of the reasons below you could not text while talking. I just tried sending a text while talking... And it worked! I initially had wifi on, but disabled it during the convo. Tried sending the text again, successfully. Go figure. Maybe texts do go through, but you can't browse.
Sprint uses cdma. Voice uses this network for its transmissions. exts are sent using cdma (1x actually). If you're talking you can't be texting. Now if you're on 4g or wifi, texts may piggy back via that network instead.
I don't remember having a problem doing a text amd talking on the phone. Now I need to try this out.

Impossible on a cdma network unless you are on 4g or wifi

i used to text other people when my girlfriend would annoy me on the phone..
perfectly fine.. and even with WIFI on it does NOT work..

cool, my wife's epic will allow it sometimes as well, and its been awhile but think before i rooted my evo sometimes i think it let me do it sometimes, i just tried it and it so a no go with evo
K so I'm guessing its a bipolar thing.. that's all I needed to know.. thank you for everyone who helped
Are you sure it isn't saying sent and then sending it after you hangup? read this http://htcsource.com/2010/03/sprint-disables-simultaneous-voice-and-data-for-htc-evo-4g/
I just tried it between my EVO and my blackberry (both on sprint)
I used the evo to call the bb, put them both on speaker and sent text messages between the phones.
On cdma SMS is transferred on the voice channel. If you attach a file and try to send it via SMS it becomes MMS and MMS uses data. I tried that and all I got was sending... when I hung up the voice call the picture was actually sent.
Searched everywhere but theres no solutions in the threads with this issue.....my gf's Nexus isnt receiving/sending MMS's....it just comes up as a blank text when i send her a mms, and then i get back a text that just says "Unknown".....tried switching her to Handcent and the same issue, nothing pops up and i get an unknown text back! I did search, so please dont tell me to search! lol! i know the drill....im just stumped! Wifi isnt on either, only 4G/3G
it also didnt work when i switched her to only cdma
Edit : VERIZON version...not Tmobile
There are about 3 threads I know of addressing this issue, id link to them but I'm on my phone and its a pain in the ass. Just look a little harder, they're there and there is a solution

I have been trying to get a APK that will actually work on the Nexus.
And I have already tried Google Voice and it sucks. I simply want VVM back.
It was simple and all I needed.
Is there an APK that will work on a stock Gnex from Sprint?
Do I have to Root?
I am a total noobie with this phone. Last phone I rooted was a Moment before my EVO 4G.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I simply want the plain old sprint vvm....

There was a workaround for the 9016 issue, I think you can blacklist or block that number. I can't remember the exact procedure, but the Heroc guys had it working over a year ago. I switched to Google voice for voicemail and love it, but I know the vvm.apk can work on aosp roms

ALMOST There??
The site you linked to has a working zip for sprint VVM, (although it was a slightly older version, and I got a "404 not found" error, I managed to find it) I got it to flash on cwm touch to BB8 for Gnex... I flashed it, wiped cache and dalvik and ran a fix perm on it... It PROVISIONED! Yay, right?? Nope, while I am recieving 9016 messages now, and even alerts through the app reminding me that my Voice-Text Trial is about over, I still cant get the voicemails to receive and notify through the app...
I sent a vm to the:
activate @ vvm. sprint .com
using the app and that went through just fine...
So does anyone know how to integrate this the right way so that it will really work?
I am not receiving any error messages at all... All others I have tried give some sort of error. This one has not, so I am sure there is something small I am missing...Any takers?
Going to try a Handsfree Activation using the Sprint Diagnostic App I flashed yesterday... Will report back...
I want VVM! LOL
