I was just wondering why the yahoo messenger app is still showing sideways video........ I use this a lot and was just wondering if any developer would like to take a crack at it and fix it.
Can someone please do that?
Thanks
I'm wondering the same. I don't have an Epic, Thunderbolt, but i was trying to chat with someone with an Epic and they were constantly sideways.
Either our front cameras are sideways, or samsung didn't do something right with coding.

Well looks like the cam is sideways.
I've tried a few different programs trying to find one I liked more than another and keep coming back to radio cause I can chat with desktop

It's Froyo. On eclair all video chat like fring and tango work fine. On 2.2 though it puts it sideways.

It's just more of Samsungs piss-poor coding, once CM7 is complete this should be resolved for anyone who uses it.

You don't mean Froyo in general I hope, cuz I don't have this on my Thunderbolt, nor does the Evo. Seems to be shoddy Samsung coding.

Had the issue when trying to use Fring with my Epic and EVO. The EVO displayed correctly and the Epic's was sideways.
Only affects the front camera, as it the back camera displays correctly.
Totally seems to be a Samsung software issue.

Now that Fring has "banned" Skype (or the other way around), is there any way to leverage the EVO's front facing camera to call a PC (or any desktop environment)? Qik will do one way video to www.qik.com, but in my experience, it's pretty bad and only does one way video...
I can't believe Google hasn't implemented this in Froyo and or Google Talk??? WTF???
I found an app a while back called iMovicha. I tested it out from Evo to computer and it worked. It does need to be installed on both Evo and computer, but so do others such as Skype.
Thx... I'll give it a shot... any other options? I'm seriously wondering why google hasn't implemented this yet...
Yeaa i agree ....google needs to make moves on this.

Just tried movicha and it doesn't recognize my lenovo x301 integrated camera. So... I'm stuck. I guess I'll try my usb camera to see if it's the integrated camera or the software.
Update: I used my usb camera and it worked ok... not great... and there is no option for speaker on the evo side... so I guess you'd have to plug in a headset. By the time I take all these steps, it's not worth it.
Android needs facetime... or Google Video.
The facetime on the iphone 4 was pretty cool! Thats about it though! This evo is rid!!!

It does but it's pretty buggy and quality is on the low side.
I Flashed The CyanogenMod for Glacier (myTouch 4G) :: V6.1.2-RC2 And Its Workin Great, Recovered My Swype, Batterylife Is Excellent But I Cant Use My Front Facing Camera (For Tango) :'( I Searched Around The Forums A Bit To See If I Found Any Related Threads To My Issue But I Didnt See Any Fix...
What Can I Do??
THanx In Advanced
Never Mind....I Got IT.... Just Read That Theres No Fix For IT...But Is That Just On That Rom Right? Theres Other Roms THat Can Let Me Use My Front Facin Camera With A THird Party App.?
The DHD Rom from gorilla works with ffc but I just can't stand htc sense so I'm back on CM6.1.2 RC2

qik isn't working for me, bummer. is there anything you guys did to make it work or did it just work? mine always shows me to them, but all I see is a rainbow fuzzy screen but I can hear them.. hmm

The front facing camera works, and most apps that detect it are doing it the right way. Tango does not detect it when using CM6, they are probably not doing it using the official APIs, OR they are doing some kind of device/firmware check.
I sent them an email, either way is completely wrong.

What about yahoo messenger and CM6.x?
So I just got the Mytouch 4G (rooted & left Stock) was a previous nexus one owner so I know all about the dev side of things but this is my first phone that allows web/video chat capabililties. Im a bit curious on what everyones thoughts and maybe some suggestions to utilize this feature. As of now im am unware of how Qik rele works and if there are any other major vchat apps out there worth looking into possibly even for the future. None of my friends rele have a vchat phone yet so im wondering how i can utilize that feature.
Thanks for the tips & suggestions!
i'm a big fan of the vid chat myself..i use yahoo messenger vid chat to chat with my gf who is on pc..
i think qik works best for mobile to mobile chat..both party needs to have the ap and a phone which supports vid chat..
be aware some roms do not support the front facing camera (yet). I am using iced glacier and have no problems..

FWIW, Skype bought Qik last week. Look for the Qik app to either take off with more features or be rolled into the Skype app.

Pretty sure facetime is iphone exclusive..but tango is the way to go if u are doing vid chat with iphone
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i typically use Tango, but i'm looking into ooVoo. It seems to be the quickest but for some reason my wife'e phone doesn't like it very much. She is using HTC MySense, and i am using AOSP.
Well, evidence of video chat was found in latest Gtalk app (misc references, icons, etc) so I'm hoping we will see VC capabilites officially supported by Google in the near future.
Skype rolled out VC for iPhone recently, I can't imagine it would take them long to introduce a similar future to Android.
Those are the two apps I'm looking forward to as they seem to be pretty universal across all of the platform, any other ones are just a niche apps to be honest (except for yahoo, but it's not for me)

I love the front camera but i think us, MyTouch 4G Users, are a little ahead of the game cause no one really has android front facing camera phone. But after all the CES phones drop im positive we would all have someone to video chat

What the hell is "rele" supposed to mean? That's not a word.
The beta yahoo video chat is pretty awesome too. It has video and voice chat. Audio for both has a hollow digital tone to it but works well enough. The video comes through pretty clear.
Use case: mytouch 4g to nexus one. Voice chat works. Video chat works but video capture is done from the nexus' rear camera. I have to flip the phone around. Haha

For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

Check out this thread....you'll be happy to know that it no longer FCs on CM7 or any gingerbread rom for that matter!
The Front-Facing Camera is pretty much broken for everything except the stock camera app in CM 7.0.

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!
Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).

However, if you are running froyo, it only supports the rear camera (which is totally retarded). They try to make it sounds like the rear camera thing is a froyo limitation, yet the front camera works just fine on Tango.
Tried it on EG22 and it works very nicely using the front camera, and the camera is correctly oriented as well.
Works for me on EG22. Skype finally is doing something right lol
I tried it on EC05, and it didn't work. I went to the options to enable video chat, and it told me that I needed to re-install Skype. I did so (twice) and it was disabled again. Not sure what is happening.
The rear camera thing is unbelievable.
It appears this is app-wise one of the few reasons to want GB. Too bad Skype has the rep for being a POS no matter what they do to it.

Where is your skype installed? I got this for a themed Google plus. And if you're using the hacked Skype it won't update with the official one. You'll have to uninstall it.

Works great on Bonsai B14 EG22 ROM. I have 2 Epics on my account and for some reason one only shows correct if held upside down...wierd. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? Or is there a setting somewhere to fix this?
Running great on Random Rom Osprey. I was at work the other day and skyped with my wife on the laptop. The video even looked pretty good on 3g, no drops or skips. I was pleasently suprised.
I haven't used this cause I use the hacked version, but the hacked version works flawlessly for me and my wife (both EG22), unlike that POS tango.

You can get front camera working with ec05 if you use the hack version of Skype found in the i9000 Apps and theme thread. Although the front camera orientation is off
