Hello,
My front/back camera work fine on evo 4g with the camera application, but with skype, i get a black screen on video calls for incoming and outgoing video. They cannot see me either. I get a black screen and black sub box(where I should be able to see myself). I have skype 2.6.0.95.
Also, I am using cyanogenmod 7.1.
One other thing... when the screen goes black while on a call, the call starts getting choppy. Can this be avoided? I'd prefer to leave screen off when talking on a regular voice call with skype.
Just try using Google+ it works great. Just as good as skype

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need to use skype. I do not understand why video is supported now but this is what I am getting for incoming and outgoing video. Is it because of cyanogenmod?
thanks,
Here is the version that I use, it is 2.0.0.47. It is from when the evo was not officially supported by Skype, but has been edited. Both cameras work, and I have been using this on the CM Nightly's for several months now.
All credit goes to the original person.. I will try to find the post when I'm back on the computer.

I use skype to call my people, but the reception is not clear and I can hear echos when I call outside U.S. Now, I just downloaded fring (http://www.fring.com/) on my phone and it sounds way much better than using skype itself.
1. The voice does not come out of the speaker.
2. Your contacts are automatically transfered to your fring.
3. If you have skype out, before calling it gives you the choice to select through your regular phone minutes or skype out.
4. I tried calling skype to skype and skype to phone, the signal has improved.
5. You can go mobile with skype, google talk, MSN, and SIP.
Let me know your reviews.
Thanks
I have no problems at all with international calls on Skype. I looked at fring, but since they want me to give them my Skype username and password I won't be trying it out.
metcole : i think you have it to dial GSM... that's why it's coming out from your phone and not speaker. Try turning on Flight mode... it won't call.
my skypeout seems not to work ... Just hangs up everytime I dial.
Fring test call was stuttering and worst than my skype.

Are you using the latest version? If so there's your problem... no voice support. You need to go back and download the previous beta version which supports voice calls on a Hermes.

EDIT... my computer was stuck and now I've posted 3 replies. My apologies...
Vmirage,
I use my skype out, because before you make your phone call it gives you the choice to use either your GSM or skype out. I checked my minutes and they've not been used, but lately it's slowering ans crashing my system, so I removed it. I hope they improve it soon.
Thanks!

I would like to use fring do use up my call allowance viq plusnet but I cant get the settings right. Can anyone help?
I have Xperia Arc. There is no front camera in this phone. So I cannot make video call. But Can I receive video call from another phone? Can I have option for making video call in my contacts?
what application are you talking about? if skype then yes back camera works perfectly fine you can send and recieve videos.
Thanks for yr quick reply. But I am not talking about any application like skype or oovoo. I am telling that when we go for a call to a person at that time video call option should appear.
You need an app for video calling with the Arc because it's not a built in feature I use Fring and it works fine with the Arc to Iphone 4 the Iphone user can't get to see you unless you turn your phone around or if your in front of a mirror that works of course .

Android does not support native video calling. I think only samsung have worked it into there stock dialer.
i think there's an app for gtalk to enable video call but require root, i use it for my arc. but u need to use ur main camera for video call. It is on xda forum.
Is video.call possible with this phone? My wife has a galaxy sl and can do video call. Does the captivate glide have this capability? I've done it with gtalk and skype.

Yes. I have done it with Skype, Fring and the google one I think is Gtalk.
I have done it with skype and gtalk as well. On my wifes galaxy sl it has an option for video call when she makes a normal phone call. Does this phone have that type of option?

What I do have is Contacts from Skype that I have merged with my Google Contacts allow me to make a skype video call. It has the option "Video call with Skype"
I went to Contacts ---> Groups --> and choose my Skype user name and can see all my Skype contacts and those contacts have the "Video call with Skype" option.
Worked just fine calling my friend's Xperia Play VZW over Talk. Front camera was better than his
is there any way to have video calls via dialer? i've got free video calls, not data so I don't want to use skype or talk
Ask you're survive provider what app they support in free video calls, dialer has no ability to make video calls.

Seconding dudejb here -- this is done through some app provided by that carrier, which may only be available on phones sold by that provider. Even if they won't willingly provide you with the app, hope is not completely lost -- you can dump the APK from a friend's Android phone, or get creative with an OtG cable on a demo unit at one of their stores. No guarantees that'll work though -- it may depend on some weird framework or hardware inside their phones.
any changes?
Hi, I've tried to search forum in this topic without success, so I need a clear answer for this question: is there any ROM supporting native video calls at the moment for i927?
And the second question (no need for very clear answer ) - anybody found any way to make native video call with i927? I thought this device is part of Galaxy S II series of phones which were declared to support such calls, but I'm quite confused now and afraid of being mislead...
I bought this T mobile s3 a week ago. But i am unable to find video call option in the stock dialer or anywhere else. Though i can make video call using Skype, but i am unable to make network video call. Please help.

Wrong forum. But.. video call on the stock dialer? hmm, never seen that option on my dialer.
video call option is only on the unlock version of the Galaxy S 3. all US variants does not have this option.
It's dumb anyway because it only talks to other galaxy phones, like face time does for iPhone. DUMB. use oovoo it integrates with Facebook. Or Google talk
try Tango or google talk. Both apps have the option to video call.
Without Internet tango and more
G3 and G2 does not video calls Internet.
I know that the Samsung Galaxy and more
I did not find. have information if a video call?
It should come with Google Hangouts, which does video calls. Or you can download Skype, Whatsapp, etc.
Why does the video call software have to be built in when you can download so many options?

Sadly manufacturers seems to have given up on this handy feature, you can maybe use one of the apps for calls and make it your default call app, like hangouts... Hope it helps you.... Even if I hate apple products, I guess it's way easier for you with an apple product... you can easily launch face time.
well, i'm using H818p and it does not come with native 3G video calling option. its just not in the dialer. but i saw the carrier versions of G4 has 3G video calling. is there anyway to enable 3G video calling?
