Well... you cant!
I've checked with HTC. See below
==============================================
Thank you for contacting HTC!
Regarding your HTC One X issue, kindly be noted that HTC doesn't support direct video calling for the moment. We have already forwarded this request to our Technician Department for future products improvement.
Meanwhile, you can download and install Skype or Tango from Google Play Store to use video calling on your HTC One X.
Sorry for the inconvenience we caused and appreciate your understanding in advance!

It's 2012, who does 3g video calling anymore?
There's plenty of other much better, much cheaper options.
You can't do it on many android phones AFAIK.

Very true, people use other apps to video call each other via wifi or 3g.
Maybe its not such a surprise after all..
Samsung phones support this. But it is important to understand that native video calling uses generic 3G speeds only for video quality. Whereas Skype and other solutions make full use of an HSPA connection resulting in MUCH higher video quality. While it would be good to have 3G video calling for completeness, it is an outdated technology, bettered significantly by the likes of Skype.

It's an annoyance, especially considering video dall minutes are included in my voice minutes, wheras Skype etc would come out of my Data Allowance.
I understand all your points..
But its one thing to not use a facility but not to have it in a top smartphone raises a little concern right?
Why Sony is not incorporating native video calling in their xperia S is out of my understanding...
Nokia has it in their Symbians and even Windows phones...
Samsung has done in their few androids as well...
And few more...
why cant Sony...

This is 2012. 3G video calls died in the wake of the Iphone's birth.
they died long before that!!

When the SGS2 came out the majority wanted to know how to remove the 3G video calling option from the dialer. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Even where handsets do have Video over 3g enabled (like some Nokia's) there are still limitations between carriers…. some carriers wont accept video calls from other carriers , and others wont allow outgoing calls to other carriers. Think their maybe some compatibility issues between handsets too.
So, even though your dependant on both caller and receiver having Skype etc on their handsets and having a good data plan (or wifi), these limitations are only as prohibitive of the native 3g calling
Steve
Geez I never that I couldnt make video calling seems a waste though to say teh least, then again havnt made one since it was first introduced
video call have lesser rates compared to 3g data. And here in India 3g is much costlier
i dont see why those who are against 3G calls are against it !
In some parts of the world, VOIP (or any video calls that uses internet) is prohibited unless licensed by the telecommunications regulatory bodies and telecos. This is practiced to ensure a monopolistic dominance over the teleco market, which draws a massive amount of its profits from expatriates making very expensive calls (voice calls or even using the internet) to their home countries.
In the united arab emirates where i live for example, even skype runs with alot of hiccups due to this, not to mention that the website itself is blocked. So yes it may be 2012 to you guys, but over here is no later than the late 90s when it comes to this regard.
That being said, HTC should've done like samsung, they equipped their phones with 3G calls capability anyways, and thats it. And btw, 3G calls are so popular here because 3G data plans are in contrast more expensive than those calls themselves. Its their house and their rules...HTC are so deluded !
If samsung included it in their phones then HTC (or any other phone maker) should. Weather its used by the end user or not is a personal matter between the phone and the user.
And did anyone find any reasonable video call APP? Skype does not support HOX yet, and max possible resolution is 320x240. This kinda sucks. Gtalk is not any better to be honest. Best quality i was able to achieve was Google+ Hangout but still it was far from what HOX has to offer (1280x720).

You should make sure that your network provider supports VIDEO CALLING
You don't need to destroy your device by trying to install a camera! You still can get VIDEO CALLS if it is enabled in your ROM. You can see the person who is calling you but nobody can see you!
You might concider the costs of a VIDEO CALL! For the money spent on a VIDEO CALL in 5 minutes you could talk the 'normal way' for hours!
It is possible to tweak the back cam for VIDEO CALLS but what would that help? You can't be watching the screen to see your calling partner and pointing the back cam at you at the same time!
Video calling on the 8525
Look I think the guy is asking a good question. When Video calling is setup on the AT&T network and it will be. it will be one way only and sooner or later they will prefect 2 way video calling. So what is wrong with turning your hand over when it is your turn to talk thus using the rear camera for your side of the video call. then turn your hand to see the video response. The camera in back is far better then the front facing camera. I think if your going to take the time to respond to a question then answer the question, yes or no. Please be helpful not judgmental.

at&t does support video calling, how do i know? i work for them. there are currently two phones that are capable of video calling (one way.) the only thing is that if our computers don't see your phone as one of those two capable video calling phones than the feature for video calling is not available. sorry if you cant really understand what im saying but to me it makes perfect sense.

Hmmm, I am not sure in what department of AT&T you're working in but up to now both large GSM providers within the US do not support VIDEO CALLING. All though T-Mobile has started tests in several areas such as New York city and Los Angeles but this is only available to a few selected TESTERS.
Also: what sense would 1-way VIDEO CALLING make in the way you describe it? Bunch of crap!
Hey if you guys actually took the link he posted, he is thinking about installing a TyTn camera and a black case... no need to turn phone...

I dont know, but this threads reminds me of one of the famous stories in the engineering classes about the situation during the space race where the Americans invested almost $1 million to create a pen that can be used in gravity-less place, where the Soviets solved it by using a pencil. You know that you can use a mirror pointing to yourself in the mirror and still watching the face of the person you called (if in fact you are using the back cam for video calling)

LOL, I better go shopping buying a mirror which matches my device then!
But get serious for a moment: I used VIDOE CALLING a couple of times overseas in Germany with my K800i. I was not very impressed - especially not after I got my phone bill!
That AT&T former Cingular did not really concider launching the VC feature in near future is already to see on the available handsets they provide! Also as only one network provider they downgraded the HTC Hermes hardware by taking off the front camera which really shows you 'how ready and willing' they are to launch this feature soon!
T-Mobile is not ready yet either but under lots of pressure from its sister networks in Europe ...
A sad thing is that new features / standards either hit the market in the US 2 years too late or America decides to go a different way! This always has been the situation in past and won't change soon! This tendency you also can see if you take a closer look at MOBILE TV which is launched already in Europe but here in the States it became almost an 'on demand' service' mainly featured by Verizon and TWC in my area ...
You said 2 years, but in my opinion it is at least 5 years behind Asian countries like Japan, Korea etc...
I think I first knew about video calling 5 years ago during the FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan, and it seems to be already established (correct me if I am wrong), and the technology is still about to be decided in US. Ever seen Tokyo Drift movie (where they do video conference about car racing in Japan)? I wonder when that can be done in US...

AT&T has had MobiTV for a while now... probably 2 years or so.
I agree with what you're saying though. Mobile service providers in the US are ages behind countries like Asia. The main problem though is the average American. The sheep here or perfectly content with paying $100 for a 4 year old cell phone (the Razr) while a $300 phone (The Tilt) gets brushed aside like an annoying fly.
Until attitudes change in the US regarding mobile technology (which they never will), we will never see the nice mobile stuff here.
Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this. As you guys can imagine, FaceTime is going to be the new craze among iPhone 4 users. As much as I hate to say it, Apple will be the ones to make voice calling finally take off.
Qik is meh, and Skype video chat is still up in the air (no pun intended).
So that begs the question, would it be possible to make a device such as the Evo emulate FaceTime (with an iPhone 4 caller). Considering it's over WiFi, I don't see how it couldn't be possible.
They claim FaceTime is supposed to be an "open" standard, though I am a bit dubious to this considering H.264/AAC is involved.
Anyhow, all licensing and networking aside, I think we can agree that it is somewhat remotely possible and also really neat of an idea.
I know it's a bit early, but are there any teams talking about/working on this? I'm a developer (and learning the Android ropes at the moment) and would love to help contribute to something like this.
Comments, thoughts, and suggestions all welcome!
Yup, we'll see it eventually. As you said, FaceTime is an open standard and will probably be adopted on many different platforms. H.264 and AAC encoding's wont cause a problem, and will actually be beneficial due to it's compression versus quality ratio. Couple that together with the fact that the Evo already supports them out of the box, it's a no-brainer!
Eventually most likely all devices will connect somehow. This is a question though and would be more fit for the Q&A forum
The cool thing will be that we will likely be able to connect to FaceTime via 3G/4G and they will need Wifi because of Apple/ATT's control.
I would love to help out with this in any way I can, I can't do code but if you need graphics for the project, just pm me.
take it for what its worth, but Engadget did a test of facetime with mifi devices and the results were piss poor... we're probably better off using qik or some system that is designed for mobile networks.

I agree with you.
I don't think we need someone on Android to implement FaceTime... I'd rather have Fring, Qik or Skype put 2-way chat on the iPhone 4. It's not like I'm going to be in a call with someone and be like, oh, lets switch over to video so we can see each other. I'm fine with using a dedicated client and I think most iPhone users would be too.

Yeah, so far video chatting from phone to phone is such a gimmick. However, I see some potential for video chatting from evo to computer. There isn't many video chat enabled phones out there but plenty of people with computers to video chat with. I just haven't found the right softwares for the phone and computer to use.
fring on evo connected with skype on computer is flawless, sound and video...if you have strong 3g/4g/wifi signal

Facetime application for Android
I switched from Apple to HTC EVO and I am very happy with HTC EVO. It is awesome. However if you look at the quality of video on face time it is amazing. The video and audio quality through Fring is no way comparable to facetime. Also people have connected using tethering through HTC EVO and connected two iphones with facetime. Excellent quality over 3G through HTC EVO. Summary, it will be nice to have an application like factime... Thanks

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.

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

with skype video calls coming to wp7 is there any hope for the current phones to do video chat?
i remember seeing a picture of something that connects to the camera lens on the cell phones and sits at the top of the phone to let u do video chats on phones without a front facing camera...is this real or was i seeing something photoshopped?
because after mix 2011...it seems like it might be best to wait til the newer mango ready phones with possibly a front facing camera comes out to go wp7.
Just wish they add FFC in newer devices.
Well, if the API for camera access is open, at least if you need to show the person on the other side something using your camera, you should be able to. That is what I expect. Video chatting isn't only useful for seeing the other side's face.
You can stream out of the back camera if the app allows it (Tango on Android does this), and while I do have uses for that use case I don't know how exactly you're going to "Video Chat" without a FFC, TBQH...
I don't use Skype, though. Their Windows software is just too terrible for me to suffer though. It's in the same category as iTunes now. Need a decent WLM client with VoIP, File Transfer, and Video Chatting support... More people I know use that. No one I know uses Skype. They'll just tell me to text them instead, if I try to get them to install it.
I like how everyone now wants video chat since Apple "reinvented" it with Facetime. I had already had video chat years ago on my Nokia and couldn't care less. Same for many people in Europe I presume.
To the original question: The phones we have now won't be able to do some things, that's just the way it is and it's the same with the iPhone. You can still get a new phone after Mango is released to have full functionality. To announce video calls, they first need to announce new chassis with front facing camera which they haven't done (yet?).

It's a bit to do with Apple and a bit of other factors.
I remember 3G video calling here in the UK it sucked, didn't work very well, was pointless and never took off.
However, with wifi enabled phones and bigger screens its now higher quality, I assume as if you're using a PC. Skype will also allow you to video call people who are sitting at their desks etc.

That's not totally true. Outside of Symbian (not a factor in NA) no other smartphone really had the capabilities. A few rarities, but nothing really big.
What Apple did was a "Me First move." They went first and tested out a capability that had been largely untested in this market and it was a hit.
Also, Desktop video chat software has also gotten better. Services like Yahoo! and Windows Live now support High Definition Video Chatting, and Skype now supports Video Conferencing. There is software like WebEx for Business Users to conference with, as well (we use that at work, there is an Android App for it in the marketplace).
Couple that with the fact that the smartphone market is growing at a nice rate, as well.
As businesses and consumers alike become more and more mobile, and began to drop netbooks/laptops for Smartphones and Tablets, they will ultimately want some of that portability on their devices. One of the most obvious things that smartphones were missing... are webcams i.e. Front-Facing Cameras.
That being said, Skype Video Chat has been proven a ridiculous battery Hog on the iPhone (something like 10% battery for < 30 minutes of video chatting - you're running the camera and streaming tons of data OTA). I think the market needs to focus a bit on battery tech. Hardware in smartphones is good enough that they don't need to be pushing the envelope as much as they are now. They're treating smartphones like their desktop gaming cards or something...

Ahh in the US Maybe, but in the UK video calling was everywhere. Infact we have a network that is dedicated to 3G only phones, ALL of which in the beginning were capable of Video Calls. I think only one of them was a Symbian Phone, the N70.
We had plenty handsets in the UK and Europe capable of Video Chat but it never really kicked off. However, from your post I now realise why Apple are plugging it as much as they are, it hasn't been done properly in the US (and now technology is more advanced anyway).
Remember the European/Asian market is bigger than the US one (This is probably the ONLY industry where Europe technically comes first) so it probably didn't kick off originally in the US because manufacturers were seeing their Video Call phones do poorly in the UK/Europe and just didn't bother with the US because of it (Aside from Nokia who arguably, at that time, were big enough to pull it off).
I think Nokia may do it first.

Hi.
Can anyone help me how to make 3G video call using LG G3?. The call originating phone and the destination phone are logged into the 3G network and there is no network problem. Kindly help me as it is urgent.
Prety sure you will both need to use the same video calling app, as far as I'm aware there isn't a native video calling fature on the device, but haven't received mine yet to confirm

Prety sure you will both need to use the same video calling app, as far as I'm aware there isn't a native video calling fature on the device, but haven't received mine yet to confirm

Why is the LG cheating its customers?. Now I regret a lot buying LG G3. My Samsung N7100 was far more better than this phone.

Not sure why you THINK you're getting cheated, because you're not, you bot simply need ot pick a video calling app, install, use, not that big a deal really, or do you really want MORE bloatware on your devices?

You know, if you took the time to properly write up a coherent diatribe detailing exactly what you need or what you think you have been wronged, it would go a long way getting some feedback. Simply starting a thread and not saying much of anything doesn't help. LG has cheated you in what way exactly?
Video calling requires some sort of video calling service on both ends, and in most cases a video calling app on both ends. You don't say what efforts you've tried (and or failed at). You don't even explain or detail what a Samsung N7100 has to do with the whole equation other than to simply state, "My Samsung N7100 was far more better than this phone". Better in what way? Better at making video calls, making iced lattes, grilling chicken, making custard flans?
So you don't want to use "Skype or similar apps", then what else do you want to video call with? What service provider are you on? What part of the world? Do they use/provide a proprietary video calling service/feature on their network? Which version G3 do you have?
