Skype video on nexus s i9023 - Nexus S General

I recently installed skype 2 on my Nexus S i9023 it shows the video call option by when i call the video drops tk audio only. Any ideas?

I have used i9023 on skype for vidoe calling with more than 30 mins.
Did you check if the call drop is happening from the other end?

Sorry for the offtopic, but did the newest skype version change your icons while receiving a call?

I got Nexus S day before yday.
I installed Skype from market yday, so I suppose that it's the latest version. But skype video calling doesn't work, I mean I don't see the video call option.
Should be doing something in the settings? Thanks

it seems like skype is aware of this issue with canadian i9020/i9023. skype 2 doesnt seem to recognize it as a nexus s and thus we dont get the video call function. Im not sure when a fix is supposed to come

I just saw this thread, so I figured I would download skype on my NexusS (just got it a week ago). I did a quick test call to my wife who`s out of town and it worked flawlessly. Not sure why it`s not working on some of your phones.

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
The ffc camera works since the update but now, I have no outgoing sound. I'm sure they are working on it

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.

Going to travel overseas, need some opinions.

Ok here's my dilemma, in about a month I'm going over to parts of Europe/on a cruise. I plan to take my phone and wanted to see what options I had. I've been back and forth on devices but settled on the nexus s since it gave me the best overall experience however I am now stuck with the fact I don't have wifi calling. I planned on using that on the cruise to call out and at my hotels where wifi will be available. Do I have other options? Can I use my phone and do Google voice to call/text?
Side note if I don't figure this out I was either considering trying the sensation or maybe getting a xoom since I wanted a tablet but again can I use Google voice at least to call or text? Or just get a cheapy phone that does wifi calling like a blackberry and go with that?

you can send texts via wifi. if you link google voice with your phone, you can log into g voice via browser on your phone and then send texts. I'm not sure about making calls though.
Can't you do SIP WiFi calling? Setup options under Settings --> call settings --> accounts Add Account
That's assuming you have a SIP line?
Skype is another option...
he can do that, but he will still be charged for it. idk if that's what op had in mind or not.
If you're getting free Wifi on the boat or hotel, you can use Google Voice to send SMS for no additional cost. You cannot make voice calls over GV without roaming charges on your T-Mobile bill.
To make voice calls, either set up a SIP account or sign up for Skype and use that over free Wifi.

There isn't a wifi calling app...
Forget I said that..... I haven't tried to use it since I had my vibrant so I assumed it was available for the nexus s

There should be a hacked wifi calling app available..I'm pretty sure I saw it in the dev forum, so just dig it up. Of course u'll have to be rooted. I'm using wifi calling on my nexus one right now from Pakistan.

No wifi calling for nexus s.
Nexus S & G2X
Thanks just dug up the thread and saw that development has been stalled. Hopefully it'll be available in the future.

Line2 is an option.
I'm just going to borrow my friends G2 or BB and use the wifi calling feature.

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.

it's a known issue with Samsung devices
go to google support site and search it (i'm a new user so i can't post links)
open hangouts and go to the last issue
Hangouts crash on some Samsung devices
click on report, as many reports possible maybe google will take time to address this issue.
