Most people can't use the Video Calls because lack of providers.
But what else you do with it.
Any body uploaded pictures taken with the front camera?
Not really true to say "most people", EVERY provider here in the UK does it, bar a couple of the tiny "virtual providers" who don't have their own network.
Maybe its just your region that doesnt offer it, but they couldn't have shipped it here without a front camera.
in the US providers do not offer it--however their are apps that let you use it for a webcam, front facing cam(for self shots) or skype video calls.
here most people can make video calls
it's just that nobody really want to it's
pretty much not used
guess it's a girls having to spend ½hour to look their best
before answering the phone thing
what apps for webcam ability?
it's in std. phone app
and it only works with
direct calls to another phone which
support it

id like to know what apps you are talking about for using the front camera as a webcam / skype video calls...would be great
As WEBCAM? I guess we need an app. and connection trought USB or Bluetooh. Hmmm.. anybody knows?
Hmm. Seems there is an app here: http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html

Thank you, good find.
Looks very good I hope is compatible with Xperia.
Thanks
Would be nice if there would be a way to use the small front-cam as a webcam in Live Messenger.
Regarding the use for it for videocalls, here in Holland it's possible to do so as nearly every operator offers it, but I wouldn't know of any people that make use of it. It seems to be too expensive or so.
Has anyone managed to get Ateksoft WebCamera Plus to use the front camera?
i believe theres only 1 carrier that offers video calls in the US... I could go on about the world politics but i wont.
however as i have a x1i coming tomorrow i was also wondering about this. as it will be the only feature on the phone i wont be able to use.
well if you are on tmobile then you won't be able to use the 3g either...but yeah in the USA we are hosed with video phones.
until they lower the costs of video calls (at least in my country) NO one is gonna use them xD
I have an X1a and I noticed it does have the front camera but no icon in the basic phone app. I am sure there is a reg edit to enable this. Anyone know where to find it?
"no body uses video call" I disagree
Really no 3G in USA ?? Sounds wierd to me
I'm currently living in a "developing" country in Latinamerica, but 3 out of 4 local carriers offer video call (kinda "fancy" feature since it costs more than a standard call). HSDPA is also available, so I got really surprised when you stated "US providers do not offer videocall"
It doesn't make sense to me, you are supposed to be the "developed world"
Lets get to the point:
I flashed my X1i with the X1A LAM (latinamerica) ROM and I can tell you for sure the videocall option is there in the diapad
I've also tested the X1A NAM (northamerica) ROM and I think it had it too (not completely sure because I don't remember, but I should have noticed its absence)
In dialpad, check "menu" --> "vieocall options"
It would possibly apperar only when 3G signal is picked up
Most American networks don't support full 3g yet, it's coming soon though from AT&T at least.
Anyone know a way to get video calls through Skype on the X1?
We know that skype doesn't as yet have a video feature and that our HD2 doesn't have a forward facing camera .... but can you still achieve absolutely free video calling over wifi ...or via an unlimited 3G data plan... to a friend on an iphone or another android HD2?
Yes you can ..... try Tango... http://tango.me/
Turn you HD2 camera on self and voila .... you can "share" time seeing each other
That is my good deed for today .... It really works flawlessly

Works great. I tried it between both my HD2's running Mccm's Desire HDv4 build. Worked over 3G no problems. Only problem is the lack of FF Camera, but I'm sure someone will make a clip on Mirror that will work on our HD2's
guys i am in india ....i bought this phone for its awesome features unware of the feature of lack of video calls through 3g network....
i am still trying to figure out how to make a video call through 3g...
in nokia symbian os there is an option of making either a voice call or a video call....is there an option like this in motorola atrix...
guys i am trying very desperately for this....
i have tried fring and other video calls providing softwares but it requires the caller on the other end to also log in to fring or other video call software....
pls suggest me a software which on installation into my phone will alllow me to make as well as receive video calls from anyone with 3g video call facility on the other side....
thank u
Hello, by chance have you tried tango? Its in the app store I heard good things but haven't got to try it yet
Or fring ?

No, there is no native app for android that doesn't require both parties to be logged in yet. That feature is called google voice video chat, and is currently available only on the motorola xoom, and other honeycomb devices.
I think he means video calling people over the 3G network not internet. I understand this protocol is not implemented in the States, so most of you guys who are in the States would not understand by this.
He wants to make a video call to any other 3G phone that supports video call. Without using the internet and without using any app. My Samsung Galaxy S has that feature. Im having Dell Streak and since its made for the US market, it is like the Atrix.. it doesnt support 3G video call.
Sigh. Galaxy S is made in Korea and the korean has 3G video call protocol implemented there. i think thats why they have.
Qik video app can do this they just release a new version altough sound is bad and video is upside down
I always want a camera with phone, (due to my job)
Are there any hackers/super developers can tell me or help me? That is
Is it possible that we root the Galaxy camera and S-Off the Galaxy camera ?
And finally , Galaxy camera can make a phone call ???
What is the main factor that it cant make a phone call ??

If you want to know if Galaxy Camera can make a phone call or not? The answer is yes. It can do anything that Android 4.1 allows it to do. More Info

(delete two spaces between d p r )
How ever , in Offcial displays and websites show us "with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor at its heart, missing only the ability to make calls."
though it is Android 4.1, they cancel the function of making call. For fear that galaxy camera would impact the selling of S III.
>>>>>>>>>Network 4G、3G , HSPA+ 21Mbps (Not include Gsm communication)
Is it the problem of hardware ? Seach the words "call" in the web ,many replies show that they are confused the cancel of call function.
Don't worry, I or someone else in these forums will hack its core and make sure that we can make calls with it.
The galaxy camera CANNOT make calls.......It's just a camera with android on it.........you can put a 3G or 4G enabled sim on it to use its data(like the iPad),and NOT make calls......If you are interested in buying a phone with a good camera....wait for the Nokia Lumia phones with Pureview
Also S-ON/S-OFF are terms only for HTC devices......it's sort of their way to prevent access to the NAND

if anything would you not be able to use skype with the data card in there to make phone calls? Or perhaps you can use Google Voice?

The reason that works is because it shares a modem with a device that can make phone calls. I'm not saying this camera doesn't. I'm saying don't go flashing that modem.
I have a galaxy camera inbound next week. Expect some threads in original development and development from me. I will be releasing Heimdall One-Click and CASUAL for this device shortly after I get ahold of it. I will also film some XDATVs on it. Then I will send it to Josh Groce at MobileTechVideos.com to get a JTAH flash on it.
I'm very excited to see what this thing can do
It can be done on a very simple way using CM10 : by enabling in build.prop the phone functions and using a Bluetooth headset. However, I think CM10 with Galaxy Camera is a no go, as all the main features are in TouchWiz on this device.
The harder method would be to modify the build.prop to let you make phone calls and then install the dialer&contacts apps .apk from S3 or Note 2. Here will be some compatibility issues, but they could be solved. The only thing you will need is a Bluetooth headset, which will run as speaker and mic.
Samsung can't remove the phone features in Android, just they can disable these functions, which we will enable again .
L.E.: The modem should not be a problem, because this device can receive 3G data for Internet via microSIM, correct?
just gonna state the obvious
Could you just use Skype/Google voice (us)
Would this not work? (Maybe need to grab apks as not supported) but wouldn't that work?

Yes, that will work. It's running Android and that's the only real requirement for those apps. It will probly also support Google+ Hangouts. Native phone calls are a different story though.

Surely you could make Voip calls on it. The device has a speaker, a microphone and data connectivity via Wifi or 3g/4g. You might look silly making calls on a camera but if you paired that with a Bluetooth adapter, then you'd be in business.

I wouldn't care about looking silly, but it would be a perfect device for holidays (or small get-outs and concerts/events). You run around making pictures all day, making very occasional phonecalls and whatsapping/skyping a bit in between .. if this device had call-capability I could leave my $600 smartphone at home and worry about only one expensive device in my pocket.
Besides, I'd laugh my ass off at people looking at me making a phonecall with this haha
The "what the ?!" faces will be priceless
The mic placement is no good for making traditional phone calls, the call quality will be terrible I think. I was really hoping this thing could make calls, I basically only use apps on my nexus 7 now and I only need a phone to take photos and make calls, this could have been it.

I have searched (there are a few threads pertaining to this, but no definitive answer pertaining to my only question)
Bought the wife an unlocked S8 from Samsung, everything works well on Verizon that is to be expected, EXCEPT video calling using Hangouts or Duo. I have changed the mobile data to LTE/CDMA from global but doesn't change anything. Everytime we try to video call, it never connects and something pops up mentioning an error with the network. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or 4G.
Can anyone confirm that ANY video calling with an unlocked S8 doesn't or does work on VZN?
Can anyone think of possible fixes?
Is my only option to follow the instructions on this thread? (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/unlocked-galaxy-s8-samsung-flashing-t3669156)

I have read yesterday that a user had issues with Youtube, where the video would play for the first 5 to 6 seconds, then stop. The issue seems to be connected to network error of some sort. I am with T-Mobile using unlocked s8 and no issues at all with network or other apps that rely on data.

Whatever the problem is it has nothing to do with your carrier if it doesn't work on wifi as well. Also duo has nothing to do with any calling options as it's a purely internet service. I promise you if no s8s could watch internet videos at all someone would have noticed lol
This all likely indicates an issue with the phone, or with your home network and with your phone. Take it to where you got it or some other VZW help place and ask for help

Thanks guys, you got me thinking and tried a video call with WhatsApp, and it worked both on WiFi and 4G. So I think my question has been answered, but has led to other questions now, like why is Duo and Hangouts not working.... I've checked each permissions......anyway, I guess that is for another thread. Thanks for getting me here.
EDIT: her phone has always played YouTube videos and YouTube TV....in case anyone comes across this thread.

You're welcome
It's q/a section I don't see why we can't continue here....
Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling them?
Also do you have another Google account to test with? If so try adding it to your phone (under settings -> accounts) and then login to duo/hangouts with that account and try.
Also how are you testing it? Video chat 1:1? hangout? If it's 1:1 direct, how are you initiating it? You call them or they call you?

So I figured why would WhatsApp video (yes, 1:1) work and not hangout/duo unless it's a different protocol...which led me to think what could be blocking one and not the other which made me think about about my ad-blocking app 'Block-this!' I turned that off and magically, Hangouts and Duo worked flawlessly.....ugh.
Gah, n00b mistake.
