Am i being very naive here? I assumed my streak would make video calls out of the box but i cant find the option for it. Is this something android is lacking? My touch hd did it straight from the dailer.

Get fring app or qik app then you can video call.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, I don't think the Streak can, the only time I've seen the front camera being used for video calls is with it was used with other apps like Fring I think (I could be wrong though....not really tried myself).
EDIT: Oops, someone beat me to it
Im reluctant to sign up to fring. is there a reason why streak cant make video calls natively? My last 4 phones could?

Dell didn't ads the support for this in the dialer. So you have to wait for someone to either port over one or create one... Other than that your options are bring and qik, which doesn't support the front can yet but I emailed them and got a reply about two weeks ago saying they're working on it

I use the actual web page.....well I try to until it changes back to the facebook touch...grrrrr
It makes sense as the screen is so big
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yes Facebook is not the best. I have no problems uploading images, but the no landscape mode for the home screen, as well as not being able to click youtube links really annoys me.
I think facebook just needs to buckledown on this. With android being the most sold phone os in the past 6 months... yeah facebook lets update that app, becasuse right now it sucks.

Hi
Try the app 'bff photo' for uploading pictures & video works very well. Videos cant be uploaded from the web page using phone. But as fazzibear said the web site is best as screen is big enough.

I agree! Facebook app is not very good.
Android and Facebook is huge... no excuse for the sucky app.

you set up an account.....checked your email...and should have 2 user names,one that yours,and one to give to someone else to use
did the other person downloaad app for phone/pc and put in the 2nd name you recieved in your email(they don't have to sign up for ana ccount,just dled the app)
and they and you have your password in?.....its the same for both of you
try to call me at husaberg1228230
the real problem with this app,is its a server based client,and they only give you a 10 day trail to use theres.....i have my own website,so i was going to see if i can use it,but i might not since its not a dedicated server....but ill check it out
the real deal is dell/google/att need to get their act together and quit trying to subsidize every aspect of mobile technologies....and give us(quit blocking) android guys video conferencing : )....haha
like video calling in skype and gmail could already be used to go to phones,and not just another pc....but they block its use(implemation)in the software of cell phones
I concur. I tried it today with a an iphone 4 buddy and worked well. He was on wifi and I was on 3g then I switched to wifi also and even better. Finally - I have an option!!!

The Atrix is not supported yet by Tango. Wait until they officially support the phone.
If it's any help there is already a specific version of Qik for the Atrix. It's called Qik video connect for Motorola. It will use the ffc.
beat me by less than an hour on this post - I had been messing with it for about 10 minutes at lunch trying to get it up and running with no luck.... The strange part is that the app isn't force closing (FC), it is just going into the background. When it "soft closes," press and hold the home softkey button until the task manager pops up and you'll see it is still running, not to mention the lack of an official notification from Android that it had indeed FC'd.
The problem with qik is that you can't video call to iphobe users.

yeah but no FFC for fring yet right?
Yes, Tango app doesn't work yet on Atrix. Fring & Yahoo messenger works but only with rear camera. They need to tweak these apps to make it work with Atrix FFC.
Anybody heard any news on updates for any of these chat apps yet? Really want to use this FFC already...
You should uninstall Tango until they come out with an update for it to support our device. I found it preventing my phone from sleeping and draining the battery. That's what I got from my experience with it.
There was a tango update today anyone test it on the atrix??i have tango but no one to test it with

Tango is working now. Just had a 3g video call with ffc. However battery suffered big.

The ffc camera works since the update but now, I have no outgoing sound. I'm sure they are working on it

I still have the problem where you connect a call and there is no audio. Usually works when I call right back. Still a pain though.

The phone you make the video call to must be running the same software as the phone initiating the call. For example, both phones must be signed into Qik. You can't place a video call using Qik on your MT4G to a Nokia phone running different software. Hope that helps.
Try Tango for video calls. I have had the best luck with that app so far.
i use yahoo, tango, and oovoo. all have good quality.
tango is the best
Is tango supported on android 2.3 (cm7)?

If you are still running stock mt4g, use yahoo video calling. Its the best.

Nice! So does Tango have a PC capabilities also, or is it only mobile to mobile?
I fail to make regular video call by 3G cellular netwok ( not by internet like skype and else) , do I need apps or different rom, or video call not supported on dell streak .

Use the "Tango" app lets you video chat with others over 3g
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I also use the fring app to make 3g video calls
3G video calling is possible but not practical due to the limited/irregular data transfer over a 3G connection for any network (lagging). I've some practical success with visual and verbal conversation over 3H connections (E=low,G=med & H=high MB/s) but ideally 4G will be more suitable for this type of communication method. To reply to your post - YES.
I don't want to use tango, fring and else, or other web apps. I just want regular video call without internet. With nokia or galaxy I use to place call to anyone that have just phone with camera and usim.

You provided your own solution - use the Nokia or Galaxy phone.
