Hello,
Do any of you know of an app that can make video calls between android and a pc? All I really wanted was to see the images from the pc, no need to send any from my desire.
I've been searching for this but can't find anything. There's only Apps like Fring but only works between mobiles.
Thanks

You could just use a VNC client?

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply, but that's not really what I need. The pc is not mine. I just need to see some live streaming of my friends through their pc web cam in my desire.
I don't understand why, being android a Google OS, gtalk with video not supported. Makes no sense.

Here I will answer it. You can video chat w/ yahoo from the tab to any other mobile device and to a windows pc. It will not work w/ a Mac yet.
Thanks for the replied, now I'l buy this tab next weekend. BTW is the cam quality good on video chatting?
I am still looking for an app that will do a video chat between my Tab and a PC.
I've tried Yahoo, Skype, oovoo and 2 others that I can't remember off the top of my head... NONE of them work.

Not for sure why yahoo didn't work cause I used a Mac w/ a windows vm installed and the video chat worked just fine between the tab and the computer. Did you install the video plugin for yahoo.

To legally use skype you have to have verizon network (can someone fact-check that?) or the app won't install.
The front camera of the tab is 1.3 mega pixels. It is adequate for the task. There is some microphone button issue - you use it like a walkie talkie, or art last you have to remember to push it sometimes. Can you please post back here your results?
I wouldn't see why skype would just limit themselves to vzw network. I will try and install skype tomorrow on my sprint tab.

Qik is the video app that came on my Tmobile Galaxy tab.

I was mistaken - I downloaded skype from the market, and installed, then set up an account. But it only calls over wifi, not 3g. And you have to pay. I want to learn about voip.
That is because skype has not released a version w/ video chat for android.

Those of us with non-stock roms don't have Qik.
Tango in the market works great. My friend installed it on his ipod touch and we were able to have a video conference without issue. I was on 3G he was on wifi.

FYI - Skype calls work fine over 3G on a Euro Tab on Euro networks. If it is not working over 3G for you it is probably being blocked by your carrier.
O/T though as Skype doesn't support video calling on Android as yet.

..going back to the title of the thread, where the heck is video chatting?I installed the latest YM and the imVideo plugins but the video chat option is nowhere to be found. Apparently you can make a Video call (i tried it, it used the rear facing camera, was able to "connect" (i got this call timer thing go up) but then neither of us could hear anything over the line. This was thru 3G by the way, calling a PC.
Where indeed is video chat?
Video calling between tab and pc is working via oovoo. Install the latest oovoo for your pc and the oovoo app from the market. The screen orientation has been fixed.

I use oovoo and it has worked the best. Ive tried as many apps I could find. Oovoo works from app to app, app to pc, android to iphone, all for free unless you want to do conference calls; then you need to pay. 1 to 1 is free.

Nope! Oovoo doesn't work correctly. The orientation of the forward facing cam is 90 degrees out and there's no config to reorient it.
Short answer is Yahoo Messenger works, like crap. Oovoo works as well, with issues.. All of the other video chat (handset->pc and handset->handset) programs I've used suck, wifi, 4g no matter. I've tried on my HTC EVO, MyTouch4g and Galaxy Tab with most of the free ones available. Qik's quality is not very good at all but it tends to work between tablet and phone.
The galaxy tab's front facing camera is nice and clear though for it's purposes. You will probably find yourself in better luck using your headset as well.
Also, i'm not really sure if it was installed with cm7 or not but the t-mobile version of Qik is installed on the mytouch4g, seems to work as well as it did with the stock rom.
Hey everyone. Can someone please help me with getting video chat working. I'm running CM7 RC and I have tried ooVoo, Skype, Tango, Qik and ever other video chatting app I could fine and nothing is working. However when I go to my camera>settings> switch camera both front and back cameras work. Any help and/or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did you go into the settings in skype and enable video calling? I am on 2.3.3 overcome kratos and that's all I had to do. Last time I used it only the back camera would work for video chat, there wasn't even an option to use the front camera. But the rear camera was working for me.

2.3.4 supports both cameras.
Hello,
I am using JB 4.2.2 stock Unrooted.
When I receive a call, photo of the contact comes in the Half screen only. Is there any way to make it full? I dont want to root my phone and don't want to use 3rd party crap Full Screen Caller like app.
Is there any mods available?
Thank you.
Thanks for asking... I'm looking for a hack too...

I am trying to find out the same issue...please let us know if anyone knows about this....
I've been using Facebook Sync Hack since like ICS, let's you choose size of contact pic and resolution works awesome, some names don't sync automatically depending how you have them in your contacts vs what their FB name is though, but you manually link them once and its done forever.
