I'm from Asia and we uses yahoo messenger here a lot. I received this phone locked to tmo with the default rom. All is working fine with the preinstalled YM app as far as video calling is concern.
Here's the problem, after upgrading the rom to cm's/royal's/etc.... I noticed that when I use the Yahoo Messenger's video calling feature it always uses the main camera. Voice calling is working fine but can't find a way on how I can use the front camera during the call.
Question: is the a way/tweak on how to fix this problem? or perhaps an alternative app that will allow me to sign in to my yahoo messengers account with video calling feature. Thanks a lot!!!! This phone rocks!!!

DITTO... I have the same question... and I'm using CM7 7.0.2 and have the same problem. Since it is the only way to call to my moms pc I need to know how to fix this.
No fix if you are using 2.3 ROMs..
choose a 2.2 ROM, Royal Glacier works fine..
note that the new google talk will be implementing voice/video chat..this will solve the issue if you want to stay on 2.3 ROMs..

Qik is good for me until we get Gingerbread. Not enough of my friends even have FFC on their devices yet.

Please post questions in Q&A section.
@cdw9800
when you said co-sign i immediately thought of the Calculus homework i have. Thanks for unconsciously reminding me of things lol
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 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.

bump..i would like to find out too since i video chat with my girlfriend who's on a computer..
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.

Is it even possible for the app to just stop working suddenly without changing anything?

Hi there
I am using CM7 ... I recently found that facebook crashes when I press "Friends" or "Messages" ...
Please help
I too found this so I use Facebook flow found in the market only thing you can't do is chat hope this helps

i found this problem also while using "place" and "groups"
I really can't stand the Facebook app. Every single time they change anything something else in the app is being f*cked up. Are you sure it's just because of the ROM you're using?

Gtalk with Voice calling and Video chat is out for Nexus S....Any chance of seeing it on Desire??
It's part of a new build of gingerbread and it's already been released for AOSP. Dev's are probably working on it now. Oxygen's dev, AdamG says to expect his updated ROM soon...though I don't know how to video chatting would work without a front-facing camera.
Video chat is trouble some. I've tried it via fringe. It uses the back camera hence u need to stand in front of mirror lolzz. Trust me that's wat I did.

InsertCoin v15 have the new GTalk. I find a problem - other people can't call me, only I can. I think this is because Android version is 2.3.3 and probably there are some changes in Android 2.3.4 to integrate voice and video chat.
Was having a play around with it last night and it works really well. Even better it works over mobile networks as well.

Get skype instead. It hasn't been officially released for the MT4G but (Only if you're on the gingerbread update) this should work:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/skype045.php
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.
