I'm almost shocked that my brand new nexus doesn't have the option to do video calling. My Sgs2 makes and receives video calls fine but on the nexus i can't even receive one from another device. Is there something I'm not aware of? Or is the nexus unable to make video calls for some reason?

Standard 3G video calls? Don't think its supported.
Its not supported. Crazy i know.
Damn why didn't i know about this earlier? But I'm sure Google plans to add support for 3G video calling soon right? It's really stupid for a flagship device to not have such a simple feature while the others had it from day one.

i`m agree with all of you guys...
i have desire s, it`s have front camera, but it can`t use to make video call. when i want to make video call, i should use third party application. it`s really not usable, and commonly gadget now can use video call without use 3rd application.
i hope google soonly develop video call for android user...

I was hoping that Nimbuzz would work better with Skype on the Desire than it did on my Magic but sadly it doesn't. Has anyone got a working VOIP Skype solution using 3G?
Cheers
Aidan
I might be wrong but doesn't FRING work well as a Skype client?
Why doesn't SKYPE themselves have software, or did they used to have but took it away like they did for win mobile?
I used fring on G1 and it worked fine. Didn't have a chance to install it on Desire yet.
Fringe works fine as a messenger on Desire, haven't tried it as a voip client yet.
There is Skype Lite for Android.
You can't use it to make VoIP calls.
Can't you? I'm just about to upgrade my old nokia to a desire but being able to make skype-to-skype calls over 3g is a very important feature for me. I use it often on my nokia. Skype mobile's android website suggests that its possible (at least on Verizon). Perhaps it's more to do with the network than the software? I'm hoping on vodafone in the UK it won't be a problem. What do you think?
Before skype symbian i used both fring and Nimbuzz with limited success. Fine for messaging, but laggy for voip.
I read somewhere that Skype is working on a full version for Android, but I guess you need it now and not later

I made a test call on fring over WiFi. Sounded fine. Might try VoIP tomorrow - a little too late now
Yes Fring is the option atm. it has most of the im's integrated and you can have skype voip, their own or 3rd party. I used it on my WM phone and SE m600 works fine, and my friend using it on the Hero. Can't wait for my Android phone.
And the best thing that Fring implemented video calls over the skype, but not sure android is getting it, except for Evo which has front camera.
Check out the G1 forums, there's a skype app somewhere on there which has been pulled from the 3 Hero. 3 offer free skype to skype calls on their phones and have their own skype (skype branded but i think made by them) app.
It would also probably be in the Hero forums.

I think you might find it only works through the 3 mobile 'relay' servers. Worth a shot though.
Hi!
I have a question if its possible to record incoming and outgoing calls on the Desire.
+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!
Dear All:
001.
Anybody has any positive experience with Ultimate Voice Recorder running on the HTC Desire (in the field of calls recording)?
002.
UVR on N1 seems to have problems with recording of the second party's voice, but on the US market this can actually be an "intentional" configuration/setup of the device.
003.
If same issues are present on the Desire how likely it is to get "fix" like the 2WayRecording? I have successfully used it on my TYTN2 together with Resco Audio Recorder to alleviate second party's voice recording issues.
+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!
any solution?
Desire and Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4
Hi,
an "In Call Recording function" would be nice to have. I partially was succesful with the Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4 which was able to record the remote person very silent, but still recognizable.
Same problems as I had with Windows Mobile 6: I used to have a T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage x7501, Code name Athena) which would only record the other side's person in speaker mode.
More or less bad luck until now, as I expected Android-devices being superiour in this matter!
Greetings.
shame this, my c905 did it out of the box flawlessly
Hy guys, I just installed on my Desire (Android 2.1) something from the market called vRecoreder.
Used it once running in the background and it recorded my conversation (the recorded volume is kind low, but you understand).
Give it a try.
ps: had to uninstall all my call voice recorders that run in the background.

Update: it records .3gpp (hence the bad quality i think) and aparently records only incoming calls. Must test more though.
Two ways call recording is depending upon hardware construction same like wm and symbian. For example if wm, Asus and Samsung can but HTC cannot, whereas if in symbian case, Nokia can but Samsung cannot. This conclusion comes from my long experience with the aforementioned mobile phones. Have not tested with Garmin Asus android yet as it is not available in my market but believe this one can.

I'm sorry, but I have an exception on that theory right here.
My Touch Diamond wouldn't do a two way recording whatever I tried. Until I switched to a custom (WM6.5.1) ROM, there it worked fine. So no hardware issue, it was a ROM issue.

I second this, as in a few Win Mobile threads discussed (no link at hand, sorry) there are registry values to be manipulated for successful two-way-voice recording. As far as I remember Microsoft and HTC stated that being NOT possible to record 2-way (without speaker mode), were hardware (design!) related facts and decisions made - until someone figured it out otherwise, by accident! (As a prior Win Mobile user: praise him!)
Not being able to record calls in Android phones is really sad.
The Palm system was able to do it from day one.
In fact the largest selling single piece of software for a smart phone ever is
Qmobilsoft's "Callrec" for palm.
So what does that say for a needed feature.
P.S. The Palm OS is now over 15 years old.

It worked on my Touch Pro2 as well, but seems as though the stock rom was on there for around 10 mins i dont know if it worked out of the box or not.
AirVoice claims to be able to do this. Unfortunately in my experience it just doesn't
Hi falks!
The situation is easyer, then you think.
The hardware and the software are ready to record 2way the phone conversations. We have only one problem: we doesn't have any software, which would do it for us.
At this time is the only solution the Ultimate Voice Recorder, which records the outgoing voice perfect, and the incoming voice very quiet.
Total Recall is the other software, which could be able to do this feature, unfortunatelly it does it only under 1.6, so on our phone - HTC Desire - doesn't works.
For the moment... maybe turn the speakerphone on... and record the whole conversation with another phone! Hahaa... lmao!
is there apps for 2 way rec
or only wish centar

Agreed but I had HTC Touch Cruise too and did adjust the registry value up to 5 in the Sound Categories using Memmaid software. The incoming call recording improve but very slightly indeed and is too far to compare with the clear quality from my Samsung i780 using Vito audio note in non speaker phone for both. Finally sold the HTC out and bought Asus P552w and very happy with the unit. Suggest to know and choose the right hardware from the start otherwise one has to learn how to play with registry or cooked rom and run the risk of losing warranty if does not know how to flash back the official rom.

No one here can confirm that Desire can do this yet. Samsung Spica and Galaxy S are reported to fail to record incoming call
I have been searching (maybe not hard enough) for apps to make video calls on the desire.
It seems that without the front facing camera, thus there is no function to make a video call, only the ability to receive one.
Are there apps that can allow me to make video calls on the Desire? I think the phone is fantastic, it just lacks the video call function i need.
Samsung galaxy S is too big for me. Any idea?
If you "need" to make video calls, you bought the wrong phone. No front facing camera makes that fairly obvious!
The latest Fring beta supports video calls over Skype I believe.
Regards,
Dave
yes i tried the fring video call and it works very nice...the only problem is that it uses only skype
to clarify, i can make video calls to mobile phones using skype out?
bring a small mirror with you and put it behind your desire,
and there you go... you just need the software

No - it can make a Skype-to-Skype video call, but not a "standard" GSM video call.

Guys....Does anybody know of a good app or a rom with the option to make wifi calls from my DHD? We have just moved to a very rural UK area that has a great wifi connection but no connection for our phones. We (wife and I) are both on T-Mobile, I have a DHD rooted and she a Desire un rooted. Please help if you can as I am of very bad health (dodgey heart) and have often had to call an ambulance but alas this is not possible any longer. Before you ask 'why did we move here?' One reason was because its very beautiful and the other reason is it's very quiet (My health needs this) As daft as it seems we never thought to check mobile coverage.lol (you have to laugh or you will cry)
Thanks Guys
I use Skype. Free and the quality is amazing with almost no delay on a good connection
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
You have a few different possibilities:
a) Even if you are using t-mobile it should be possible to call the police, an ambulance or the firefighters via vodaphone or whatever you've got up there. Maybe you should just give it a try and see if you get a connection.
b) Skype. This site should give you all the info you need:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/legal/emergency/
c) You can get a router with VOIP functionality to be able to use your landline on your phone. This is of course only possible while you are at home.
Viber and skype are very good quality calling sound.
I am using Skype is irreplaceable always bell to the family abroad
I recommend
If you have a SIP account, you can use it with sevrals apps like "csipsimple".
You can call were you want form Wifi.

Thanks for you thoughts and help guys
Why does the HD video call not work across carriers??? I don't understand this at all.. there's no need for Google Duo if they can just make the devices talk amongst carriers.. anybody know the specifics behind this?
I.e. I can't use the built in video call to call my gf ATT N7 from my Verizon N7

Well google duo is a google thing and the built in video chat in the dialer is a samsung thing. Even if they were to work across carriers, both phones would have to be newer samsungs. Google duo is for people with any phone manufacturer who want to video chat between each other.
