Android 10, unlock bootloader on T-Mobile.
I have never install Google duo on my phone; now every time I try to video call someone on T-Mobile, this duo want to place the video call.
When people try to video call me, I'm listed as not having video call capacity.
Anyways to get TMobile video calling feature to work again?
I'm not on T-Mobile but is there another way to use T-Mobile video chat other than through the dialer? There's no separate app? And I'm guessing no possibility of getting people to switch to Duo right?

Maybe try downloading and installing Duo (and/or another video calling app like Viber or Tango), then attempt to video call someone, and hopefully the OS will request/ask which video calling app to use, and you can say "Always" to the T-Mobile stock video calling app. Or, if that doesn't work, you can go to Duo's App Info and make sure to clear its "defaults". Worse case scenario is, since you have the ability to be rooted, clear the data of the T-Mobile stock video calling app and maybe it will re-initialize itself, or using something like Titanium Backup (or even manually through a root capable file explorer) and remove the T-Mobile stock video calling app, then re-install it or find an external .apk and use that to install...
Good luck and hope this helps...
Thank you for your reply,
I'll try downloading duo then making sure it's not the default application.

So what options do we have with the SGS2 for video chat/calling?
I see in the dialer/contacts there is an option to call somebody with video, how
does that work? Has anybody been able to try it?
D
I can confirm that the video calling from the dialer works great between two SGSIIs, even over a week 3G signal.
If you have root access, you can also install the new Google Talk app that has video. Works great as well between phone and PC over wifi at least.
I haven't tested other than this, but it gets me in touch with my fiancee on the phone and family/friends on Google Talk. I have a feeling we'll be waiting a while for Skype video support now that they've been bought by Microsoft.
edit: There are of course other third party options but I want to use the ones with the greatest adoption and compatibility between devices, which is Skype and Google in my opinion.

I wonder how long 'we' will have to wait for Android 2.3.4 with the Gtalk/video/voice built in? Or maybe Google will release the Gtalk app with this feature on the market soon.
Guess I could always root
Can someone confirm that Gtalk video chat on AT&T only works over WiFi? I can see & chat with people over 3G and it will even say video available and show the video icon but it then tells me that I need WiFi. Is there a way around this? Perhaps an edit to the prop file or even the Gtalk file thru root exployer to enable the video over 3g..?
Would fring work?

Which one did you install? I did the auto APK that allows permissions from superuser and it works great but only over WIFI. How did you get it to install with the 3g? And does it work well? I heard it's very buggy with 3g..?

Are you sure? I think Paul's auto install is the version that only works over wifi. I've installed that version off a fresh hard reset twice and no 3g. I believe someone from that thread actually said that apk was for the wfi only version.
UPDATE: Figured it out. I had to find the updated Talk2.apk and I used root exployer to copy over the old APK. Since it was already installed, that's all I had to do. Re-booted and Google Chat now works over 3g. Wow, it logged in 1st attempt after re-boot with no issues and started working right away. Good stuff... One quick question thou. When someone tries to video chat with me, I only get the notification saying someone tried to video chat but you were not on WIFI. I can then go right ahead video chat them back over 3g and everything is fine. So, I only ring for a video chat if I'm in WIFI but can send no problem over 3g..? Is that where we are at with it or is there something I'm missing..?
Tango is another great video calling app on the market its free and it works real good 3G and wifi it also detects who in youre contact list has it

tried video calls to several friends' android mobiles today in the office - all failed. not sure if it's a network or device limitation, none of the friends had samsung phone tho.
are video calls using the "stock" functions generally only supported between devices of the same make/model?

Do they have UK or EURO standard video chat over 3G enabled? I know I did hear that you can video chat within the dialer with SGS2 to SGS2. If anyone wants to dare try this from one SGS2 to another, or any other GSM phone that has the video chat icon in the dialer. let me know.
Funny how the blogs posted a article today saying the skype app was updated to include video calling on many phones including the incredible S. however, I didn't see the 2. I thought thye were nearly the same phones? does it make sense why they would release it on the S and not the dinc2?
From the app description in the market:
Some notes:
If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed in the What's New section, you should still be able to enable video calling in Skype settings. Please note that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.
On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera.
If the setting to enable video calling is not available in the Skype Settings on your device that means video calling is not yet supported on your phone.

i have 2.3.3 on my phone, GB OTA update. no root. my phone has skype 2.1.0.46 on it right now, and i'm not seeing anywhere for video. When you got it working, is it just mobile to mobile video, or can you do a mobile to desktop video?

I tested with mobile-to-desktop.
Make sure you're using the Skype from the market and not the pre-loaded one named Skype for Verizon. Go into the settings and the last section is labeled "Video calls." There should be an option that says "Enable video calling." I had to manually enable it.

well IMAGINE that... i just had to go to settings to enable the video call. it gave me some warnign message, but let me enable it. i did just try my dinc2 to my macbook, didn't work, but im going to try with another mobile. when chatting with the macbook, on the dinc2 it lets me click the video button, but it goes to a black screen for a second, then comes back to the menu, so its probably crashing the program on the phone... probably cause its chatting with a mac

My girlfriend has a Macbook Pro and the first time we tried it, it wouldn't let her enable video on her side but she could see me. The next time we tried it worked perfectly and has been ever since.
Hello all
I have a quick question regarding video calling on Android. Previously, with my iPhone I could use Skype or Facetime to make a video call, however, this does not seem to be an option. I am not expecting Facetime to work but Skype is only giving me the option to make regular calls, and not free internet / video calls.
I have enabled video calling in the settings options but that has not changed a thing. What do people use for video calling on these things? I used it a lot with my iPhone and would like to continue using it on this Android phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I am using Skype video calling with no problems
Hi,
Free video calling works fine on Skype on my SGN2. Besides this, other apps like talk, fring etc also work fine. Though the video quality depends on network speed and may be jittery at times.
Maybe you can try to uninstall and reinstall the Skype.
Cheers!!!!
The video call via skype works properly on my device. You may be uninstall the current skype soft and then, reinstall it and dont forget to reset your device before signing in the new skype. Hope it could help

International ROMs have the option. I'm running Echoe ROM and have the video call button to the left of the standard call button on the dialer and also on contact pages.
If I try to place a video call, it brings up the video calling screen with options to switch camera or hide me, and says dialing, but then fails and asks if I'd like to try a voice call instead. I'm not sure if it fails because T-Mobile doesn't allow it, or if it's because the other party doesn't have native video calling (I don't think I know anyone who does).
OP, if you'd like to PM me, I can give you my number to see if it works between two parties with native video calling. At least that way we could determine whether or not it's a network limitation.

Does anyone know how to enable video calling from withing the phone dialer. I read that the Verizon version has it. and T-Mobile allows it so if I could get it to appear I'd imagine it would work.
My understanding is to get it to show up as an option you have to enable it on your Verizon account. If it isn't enabled then the phone won't show it. I went through the dialer and enabled it but it still didn't show up in the calling app until I enabled it with Verizon. Code for dialer is **#*#4636#*#**

See I have the one from Google, on T-Mobile and it worked on my note 7. I called and they said it was enabled. I wonder of anyone with T-Mobile has it working and can share their steps.
In that dialer code menu there is a toggle to enable it, just with Verizon it didn't make any difference and actually toggled it back off.

Hmmmm. I'll call T-Mobile and see if there's an option like that for me. Did you call and do that or is it something you did manually.
For Verizon, you have to have the My Verizon app and then the option shows if to enable it off the call settings menu

Interesting. I wonder what the change is. This alone will prompt me to root. Although I prefer to manually commit the change than run a ROM.

You're correct even on DU it doesn't work. It looks like it works but when the person on the other end picks up the call video turns off.

In my experience the video calling only works when calling someone with a Android phone that also supports video calling on T-Mobile... For instance when I had my note 7 I could video chat my dad who had a s7 edge and my cousin with a V20 and even my cousin with a s7 edge on att.... But no iOS phones or Android phones without native support... This makes me wonder what in the code your ROM changed.

No, they said to contact TMobile. TMobile tried to assume me to expect it in the future but without any timeframe.
