You have to have qik fring or some other video chat app installed that the other party does and then there's usually tutorials in the app

Dear Nicgra!
I have found the qik app on home screen of the My Touch 4G, but it asked me to sign in to make a video call, I follow the instruction to sign in, and the result is the phone of my wife could not receive the call.
I try to make avideo call from my touch 4G to another device such as Nokia or Sony.
Please help
Thanks alot

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)?

Yes it is.
i love tango! qik is okay at best
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?

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

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)

Yayy i hope they get a good skype app with vchat i knw most of my friends have that or oovoo lol
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
I can't seem to get tango video call to work properly. It install and open up fine but when I try to place a call. It automatically shut down to the contact page. And went it does dial open, only the rear camera work then two seconds later it crash. Any suggestions?

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.

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.

New version released for Android - Audio Improvements!
What's New in Tango Version 1.6.7596
Major outgoing audio improvements on Samsung, HTC and Motorola devices
The Huawei Ascend phone is now able to send video again
Support for the front facing camera on the Dell Streak 7
Important Tips!
HTC Evo & Motorola Atrix users - for optimal audio performance turn your volume down 2-3 clicks from the maximum level
HTC Thunderbolt users - for optimal audio performance turn your volume down 1 click from the maximum level
Make sure to update your device to the latest version from the Android Market!
So after using Cyanogen 6 & 7 here's a little review on what video chat apps work on froyo CM6 and Gingerbread CM7. I figured this would save some of you some time
Qik - works great on CM6 but it force closes on CM7. Video quality is good and audio is ok good enough to do the job
Tango - works great on CM7 with a mod where you can use front and back cameras. But on CM6 it only detects the back camera. Video quality is good but audio not so good
Fring - works on CM7 with out any mods but the video and audio quality is not so good. On CM6 it only detects the back camera.
Oovoo - is the new kid on the block working great both audio and video on CM6. I didn't test it on CM7 so if someone does let me know this app and Qik is the reason why I went back to CM6 from CM7.
I've tried them all too but unfortunately the battery drain from the apps is really poor... I just uninstalled and will reinstall when a friend wants to video chat.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Battery life on cm6 is really good even with the video chat apps
Tango is still upside down for me on FFC using CM7. Changing manufacturer to Samsung in build.prop didn't fix it . Image is right side up using the back camera.
What about Yahoo? It's apparently the only one that works from phone to PC. Can anyone confirm on our devices?

I have used Qik and Tango and Tango has worked best for me.

where do u get the oovoo app? didnt see it in the market and the website says your device is not supported..
Tango works great for my girl and I using the older version. The updated version has us looking at each other upside down. So if anyone having that problem just revert back to the older version.
Qik I have not tried since I flashed cm. I heard its working on the latest nightly build but have not tried it. I never liked the quality when I used to use it on the stock rom anyways.
Yahoo video chat still gotta be the best though. Video and sound quality are best. Better than qik and tango. And it does not work only from pc to device, it also works from device to device.

the Gingerbread ROMs are the only ones with goofy FFC working with Applications. All FroYo based ROMs should work fairly well. The app developers have no upped their apps to work with Ext4 style ROMs. It has nothing to do with the developers of the ROMs, but has everything to do with the App Developers.

Yes you're right. Is my bad I should've specified that. I meant in general yahoo is best when it comes to video calling. But is the reason I use tango now, because nothing else works properly.

Get skype instead. It hasn't been officially released for the MT4G but (Only if you're on the gingerbread update) this should work:

It is very good. Also, the market will offer an update for skype that will overwrite this one. Don't take it, as it will make video calling stop working.
Ok ty will try....wish yahoo would work I know or atleast I thought it was supported...

Wrong suggestion, outdated. The Market version of Skype works perfectly on MT4G. It has a switch in Options that allows turning video on for any phone. Just download Skype, turn that switch on, and you have video.
