Video Calling to PC Options Fring/Qik/Other

Now that Fring has "banned" Skype (or the other way around), is there any way to leverage the EVO's front facing camera to call a PC (or any desktop environment)? Qik will do one way video to www.qik.com, but in my experience, it's pretty bad and only does one way video...
I can't believe Google hasn't implemented this in Froyo and or Google Talk??? WTF???

I found an app a while back called iMovicha. I tested it out from Evo to computer and it worked. It does need to be installed on both Evo and computer, but so do others such as Skype.

Thx... I'll give it a shot... any other options? I'm seriously wondering why google hasn't implemented this yet...

Yeaa i agree ....google needs to make moves on this.

Just tried movicha and it doesn't recognize my lenovo x301 integrated camera. So... I'm stuck. I guess I'll try my usb camera to see if it's the integrated camera or the software.
Update: I used my usb camera and it worked ok... not great... and there is no option for speaker on the evo side... so I guess you'd have to plug in a headset. By the time I take all these steps, it's not worth it.
Android needs facetime... or Google Video.

The facetime on the iphone 4 was pretty cool! Thats about it though! This evo is rid!!!

For me it has, qik is a piece of ish, on all the cm7's I've had nothing but bad luck it might not be gingerbread compatible yet(it only worked on sense for me). Try tango its better and it just works. This is the only video chat app that I use. I've heard success with the yahoo video chat but never tried it.

Check out this thread....you'll be happy to know that it no longer FCs on CM7 or any gingerbread rom for that matter!

The Front-Facing Camera is pretty much broken for everything except the stock camera app in CM 7.0.

I was video chatting on QIK last night with my cousin and the front facing camera works just fine. I don't know if you've try CM7 but I wouldn't go on an issue that was reported in mid February....Cyanogen updates regularly and although there's bugs still to be fix, is way better then the sense roms running around here.....just my personal opinion!

Within the last 2 days someone posted a compatable version for CM7.
Here you go from my dropbox.

Doesn't work. Once you install and run on an Evo, it forces an update to the Qik version from the market and that one is broken (FFC sends upside-down video).

[Q] OOVOO without Device Check?

OOVOO is a very popular video chatting service. The only problem is that on android, they don't keep the app's device check updated with the latest phones. I just bought a Sensation 4g and it isn't compatible. At the same time, it will say the same thing on my Mytouch 4g when I switch to certain roms other than stock. The Mytouch 4g is a supported phone by the way. This is why I believe that if someone can remove the device check, it will work on a lot more phones. Is someone able to do this?

Download the app outside of the Market, it'll work.

Can anyone post the apk of oovoo without device check I can't find it all

I've seen in some devices 3G video calling works even with the back camera.

If someone can look into SE Neo config and port some settings to x10 that will be wonderful.

oops, thought the black thing in front beside the led is the front camera.

Yeah there are 3 things on the front 1 is ob the led for notifications another is the light sensor and the 3rd? Perhaps SE were planning to put a front camera on and decided to save the money or give ppl a reason to upgrade or there is a secret camera that they would rather you didn't kno about.

ok. I just found 2 things on my x10... LED and the Light Sensor!!

Led, light sensor, proximity sensor... that's what I find them to be

SHOCKING - Swapped STEREO channels in Video recording

I noticed this yesterday while recording few videos using the stock camera app. I have been testing using stock camera app on both the 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 based RELEASED ROMs and all seems to be affected.
I request members to check on their mobile by recording a quick video to see if anyone of us are NOT affected with this silly but IMPORTANT bug by Samsung. Suggests the level of testing they do before releasing these ROMs.
Also, when recording inverted with Samsung logo (earpiece) towards the right seems to fix this issue (as there is no change in channel mapping while changing orientation. However, playing back such files pose another serious bug that it only plays back fine on the phone screen and using MHL or a PC makes the video upside down despite the camera app supposedly fixing the orientation during recording.
My MHL connection is always fragile (though it worked fine for a day or so after swapping the mobo after a shocking hard brick). This also seems to be an issue with I9100 as I have tested it on 3 phones and all have the same issue.
To test this STEREO bug, you could record a quick video while snapping around the left and right microphones. They get reversed (swapped) during playback unless you record the video inverted.

It has been around........ since ics leak?

I only noticed this on released version as the leaked one never worked for me as I dint do a wipe before installing them. After a wipe, I could access the stock camera app and notice this issue since the official release. Could well possibly exist since the leaked versions.
Samsung just need to remap the LR channels so we get proper audio on the video as it doesn't make much sense just to get stereo audio unless the directional clues are accurate. Also, they need to dynamically change this mapping for inverted video recording while also figuring why those inverted videos really look inverted on other devices and MHL - HDMI.

I truly dove in to my bunker before i opened this topic. Thank you for the warning.

I still have a GB Rom installed on my S2, just for the record, that problem does not appear ...
i'll check with ICS stock rom, but it's sounds like a poor testing job by samsung

Buddy I request you to please try to understand the question before participating in a pool.
There was NO STEREO recording in GB ROMs, so please suggest how would you observe this issue? Stereo recording is enabled only in ICS ROMs and hence the issue popped up with it and hasn't been fixed even on the latest LPU 4.0.4 release.

The same appears (swapped stereo channels) on mine Galaxy S3 with official ICS 4.0.4. I am really pissed and waiting Samsung to correct this.

I noticed that since 4.0.3 (I called Samsung hotline: "issue will be solved in next update") and as I see, the 4.0.4 doesn't solve it. We have to wait for 4.1 Jelly Bean.

I am sorry, I was reffering to Galaxy S3. This issue is not related to device but to Android. It is present also on Galaxy Tab with ICS. I am really dissapointed it is not fixed in JB 4.1 for S3.
