I used the official version .. and besides it does not support the video, it was also rather buggy. For example when I tried changing volume when in skype, it crashed altogether with launcher. I use all official rom and launcher and everything.

will this let your video call a pc
Should work
The hacked version worked fine, but the front face camera was always landscape oriented. Should've been portrait oriented by default.
who wants skype when google talk video is brilliant . I called from phone to a friends pc and it was brilliant over wifi

yes, I've videochatted with a couple of friends on their PCs and laptops but for some reason I can't videochat with my baby sis in Korea, maybe its because she's on a Mac Book Pro
Downloaded it a while ago! the question is...... Is there a hacked version that works on 3g?

Guys... it's Skype we're talking about.
Of course it's buggy. Of course it crashes.
It's a well known fact that Skype is written by severely drunk monkeys with Alzheimer's, using only their legs to write code.

And now that it owned by M$ those monkeys will be told to make it Xbox exclusive when they've nearly finished developing it for all other platforms...
Just tested video chat over 3G/H+ in Toronto with Skype and gTalk.
Skype video quality is bad, all image in little squares, and it took about 1Mb of traffic for 1 minute of video chat.
gTalk video is much-much better, the image is clear but it took about 6Mb of traffic for 1 minute.
Since 3G is payed by traffic - it's up to you what to choose, nice video-quality or nice monthly bill.

Indeed. I wish skype would release an adndroid app that's just not for verizon phones.
Cool, wasn't much use with the wrong camera, will try the update when i get home
Great... this will now save me having to repeatedly inform users not to install Fring.
It's a pity that they don't support skype anymore

Tested this today from Australia to USA on Fring.
Me: SGS
Friend: iPhone 3GS
Me: worked fine, front camera showing picture
Friend: worked fine.. with a mirror..
I was using Fring on SGS with Samsung's headset and my friend was using GTalk on Windows and he said he could barely hear me
Hello guys,
Ive just installed Fring as I am hoping to be able to get the video phone working.
Has anyone had success?
Can to SGS users WITHOUT fring video call one another? Any one done that?

Does your network plan support video call?

Network plan?
I assumed it was a DATA video call, ala skype or iphone's facetime, which are purely data transfers...
Surely the video call on SGS is not the (now completely out dated) traditional video phone call that was so unpopular years ago... so unpopular that mobile phone companies removed their front facing cameras?

You'll use fring, but fring does not work on the .GS right now. They are working on it.

It would be good if skype did something directly for android... and then there is that alpha version of adobe I saw on engadget a month or so ago.

Good question from the OP.
I also would like to know how and what I can do video calls to (without fring) .

Skype with video support is coming out for Android in the fall. If all you want is audio you can find an APK by googling around.

I really hope so, I'd prefer to use Skype than Fring, contacts-wise and also I was very unimpressed by Fring connectivity in the past and even less so by their handling of their "bandwidth issue" with Skype.

So I am trying to set up video chatting for phone to PC use. I have found that Yahoo works, but it only comes out the back camera of my phone. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is this standard? If so, are there any other apps?
I have only ever heard of Yahoo working from phone to PC. Thanks in advance.
My ffc worked before I installed CM7. I also have been trying to figure this out. help!
I also want to know!

I am pretty damn surprised that this isn't a more popular question. Barely any replies. I still have had no luck with any phone to PC that works with FFC.
I see you are in Maui. Right on bra, born and raised. Live on the mainland now. Upcountry represent. MAUI BUILT.
Look for "CM7 Yahoo camera fix" or something like that, in Development forum.

i have the same problem but i dont think it has anything to do with cm7.. yahoos video chat doesnt work with gingerbread. thats why i think it doesnt work right. but im not 100% sure of that but makes since. it doesnt show that it works for gingerbread if u read what devices it supports for the add on video chat thing for yahoo messenger
Google coming out with their gtalk app its a pc to phone phone to phone app. Wait for that as it will be significantly better. Yahoo won't work as it looks for the hacks in froyo to get the ffc to work they need to upgrade for gingerbread support so that that can use correct api.

yeah, I thought it was really funny how the day after I posted in this topic, Google made that announcement.
also, I'm born and raised here in Maui as well, but I'm moving to Honolulu in a few weeks.
Cant find gtalk on the market right now, my guess the new version will be out very soon.

Few days ago I watched a video where an Nvidia employee was showing the capabilities of Tegra2 and was running Skype video on an Acer a500... of course I can't find the video for the life of me.. but anyways how the hell did they get it to work and we can't?
I use Skype a lot and it really sucks the only use of the front camera is to take a blurry picture of my self..

Yeah that was 3 months ago and still no video Skype. And now that Microsoft owns them don't expect it before they release it for the new Winblows phones.
it's not skype, but google talk from tab to desktop, and i assume tab-tab works for video chat using front facing camera.

Then why does the nVidia guy constantly talk about Skype and their partnership with Skype while showing it off?
I this still an issue? Just got my A500, & it video skypes perfectly.
Uh, Skype video has been working just fine for me for a while now.
Skype video works great for me as well.. even tethered to my cell for internet..
I suggest you uninstall it then re-install.. If still no go And you are on a custom rom post in the rom devopers thread where you got it .If your stock consider resetting your tablet

Hi,
I would like to start a donation pool towards a fully working Skype video calling.
I will be the first to donate.
I would like to see it on the ICS (Alpha2) or its off spring.
Good luck,
Developers : please post your interest here, and how you want to proceed
Users: please make your pledges here
thanks

Might be a tough bill to fill as there isnt even a video app available for WebOS. Maybe they just never got around to it, or the hardware just doesnt support it. Even though it was an advertised feature

With its 1.3-megapixel front-facing webcam, TouchPad offers video calling capability.(11)

That or its just more of HP's famous false advertising...you decide.
After searching a bit, looks like it was the same as it was with the Palm Pixi, an advertised feature that didnt exist at launch, but was later introduced in an OS update. I believe WebOS v3.04 gave support for Camera and Video Recording, Making Skype video calls possible. So it is certainty hardware capable. Id imagine as soon as any other ICS ROM gets a working camera, this one will be soon to follow.

I am not a big fan of bounty threads and will close this thread down if people start asking for any money to work on this.
However, if people would like to pledge money that they pledge to donate to a developer after the work is done...so be it.
Just don't start sending donations until you see the goal realized and send your donation directly to the developer. No middlemen or THREAD CLOSED.
OF COURSE XDA has nothing to do with these pledges, and will do nothing to ensure they paid...so user beware.

I've done video calls using my touchpad multiple times using the "Phone and Video Calls" application. You can add your Skype account on there as well.

I dont know what jhayton is talking about but you can certainly make video calls in webOS.
Im sure any progress towards using all of the touchpads capabilities on android are appreciated.
