also, conference calls are possible (but I don't thing with videochat - just plain voice conference), if you are not the host, i.e. if you are invited in. Other than that, I have found everything working.
But: As the HD2 doesn't have a front-facing camera, why should it be able to videochat? All I can guess is, that you will be able to see other ppl, but I don't think, that you will be able to use your backfacing camera.

How does it work with the Epic? Can you initiate a video call straight from the dialer? A lot of phones my friends would get unlocked from europe all had front facing cams. Like the e75 i think.
Or is video calling only available with qik? Yuk.

Only works through Qik I think.
Fring works well. You have to initiate within the fring app but since it runs in the background you can always receive. Qik never works for me.

I was not able to video chat with aim or google talk... it said it was not supported..
for those of you that have had issues with qik for the epic, the fix is to goto the app store and download qik for htc evo. This came from there help desk.
Out of the box qik would always force reset on me, sometimes it would work for outgoing vid connect but for the most part it would always crash when accessing the address list or imitating a call.
They suggested the build for the evo since you can not remove the bundled version. Well it worked and it seems much more snappy.
I've searched like mad, and I haven't found any way to video chat with any PC clients, especially Skype. If anyone finds one, let me know, but as far as my knowledge goes there's no way to video chat with users of anything besides Fring and Qik, which makes it nearly useless to me.
Try using Tango
Anyone get the video chat feature working (not a flashed version of Google's 2.3.4 gTalk)?

+1 but have only used calling my wifes SgS2
Well, Skype was just purchased by Microsoft for 8.5 Billion, so lets see what happens to Skype having FFC support for Android... If its on the roadmap, it will still see the light of day but for how long until M$ starts to mess with Skype?
Are you guys calling other SGSII only?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I used qik and called my friend on his iphone 4
And I am sure you looked Crystal Clear while he looked "OK"...
Does anyone know of an Android video chat app that can connect to Live Messenger / Video Kinect? I'd really like to try video chatting with my daughter through the Xbox once I get the SGS2.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059150
Fring works brilliantly for me

Not unless you find an app that supports it, video calling of any kind is not natively supported by the os
Don't know about new roms but existing firmwares already manage it with the latest Skype from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 does it. They are moded versions of the most recent Skype release on the Market.
Skype video calling is awesome. :3
I wasnt refering to skype, my carrer gives me 500 video call minuter per month. I was talking about normal 3G video calling, made like an usual phone call.

Maybe samung built it into there version of the os, what i mean is, stock android has no video calling ability, infact 2.3.4 will be the first version of android that supports video calling, through gtalk

Try a video calling app called TANGO. It works perfectly with the PLAY, back AND front cam...great quality.
It integrates itself into the android "dialer" kind of and syncs all of your contacts. You can call a computer also in addition to a phone.
I used it to call an ex-gf on her samsung infuse (at&t)
worked FLAWLESSLY
(its free)
Tryed skype, it's awsome Thx 4 the help.
Cheers!

Sometimes it doesn't work, if you call someone on your list you will hear a ring tune from your phone but on his/her phone it's not ringing.. Vice versa..
Sometimes also headphone feature are not working, and there is a scratching sound that is so annoying..
According to the SE facebook this morning, the new Skype update supports video calling over 3G on the Play.

If this is there so compatible video chat app then they can throw it in the bin who is going to use this when Google has launched there chat that works on loads of devices
Is this why they have not given us Video option on the Google app
