Tell your girlfriend to get a better phone and use one of the apps the others posted. Or just dump her for using an iphone jk

She likes Tango. It seems to work okay, and it's really simple, which is crucial for fruit phone owners.
Google+ hangout by far....

You can't ask better than Google talk built in your android device, which is connected to Google hangout and YouTube. Meaning you can video chat up to 10 people at the same time from any device. Pc via android via iPhone, etc. Plus you can watch YouTube together and share screen view and make effects. Best of all you can talk from Wi-Fi and lte. Everything is interconnected.

I like sidecar for the "see what I see" functionality. Does the same thing as all the others with the added ability to share what your camera see with the person you are talking to so they can "see what you see". Its pretty awesome...to me at least
The point is that it should be INTEGRATED and one button use... if you have to fiddle with everything and only us nerds can use it then we will never use it with the people who we really want to see during a conversation

There is a modified skype app in the Hacking and Development section that supports video chat. I think you have to be on a gingerbread leak though. I'm on EG22 and it works great!

I would think it work seeing as how Skype owns qik now. But I could be wrong. Everyone I know has qik on there phones so that's what I use.

Skype works if you're on bamboozle rom. You need to have a modified skype app though. I believe from the I9000 xda thread. Look around.

ooVoo works best for me - but remember one important thing - both of you must be on the same software - if you want ot talk to your friend and he is on ooVoo, you must be on ooVoo - you can also have more than one video chat software on your phone to say accomodate another friend that has Qik, therefore you must be on Qik also.
Found the modded skype video chat its freaking awesome. First acceptable video chat from my epic and all my friends have skype. I'm on eg22 as well

The Skype app is definitely the way to go all the other apps I used were complete crap. I haven't used gtalk but skype is flawless.

i love the feature of having video play over what you are doing, or if you get an sms you can answer it while still watching video, i stream off netflix and on my local device alot and i hate having to exit out reload and relaunch what i was watching everytime i get a text.
if theres any current software out or if theres plans to port this feature id like some info.
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try them out. They are both great apps.

I've tried Gtalk, pretty decent, haven't tried any other apps, but people mentioned Tango works well too.
yahoo chat works on this phone.
gtalk/Google hangout works pretty well.. There's Skype obviously.. The usual tango..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I use Gtalk/Google hangout and tango. I like Google hangout because I can video chat more than one person at the same time.
Tango is easy to use but limited to 1 on 1. Also if you are thinking about installing Tango, keep in mind that Tango has very annoying bug that changes your phone's in-call volume randomly to max and on each reboot.

The only one that I love and use now with the Note 2 and the 25 meg download speed of Tmobile is Skype. My daughter talks to her grandparents almost every day on it and it beats firing up the spare computer which is now collecting dust.
I really want to use multi-window, but I just can't imagine a scenario when it'd be useful!
Do you use it? Which apps do you use together?
I use it to make iphone users jealeous.

I use it for playing Ingress, so I can have the scanner up while chatting with my teammates.
I constantly watch YouTube vids or I'm on fb at work. Comes in handy if I get txt messages

Great for media consumption while doing other things like texting or something.
I use the it more as a shortcut tool than actually running two apps at the same time tho.

I tried enabling multi-window to use with any apps but it's not working. Anyway I'd use it for a lot of multi-tasking, like watching a Netflix documentary and taking notes, or playing a game and watching a video, etc. Mostly media/texting.
Ditto on LastPass.

Just thought I would share this if you haven't discovered it yet. I was looking to see if I could find a better YouTube experience other than the official app and found this. Please disregard if this was already mentioned.

Awesome for multitasking, especially if your watching a tutorial or something. The last update added a lot of cool features, so I expect big things to come in future updates.

Very confusing coz I have it installed and works good. But for sure I have a little problems with permissions this app request. Why the video player application needs ability to "Redirect outgoing phone call"????
