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.

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.

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 doing a tango chat with my friend last night on CM7. worked fine.

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).

whats the best video chat app qik, tango, fring or oovoo

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.

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.

Oovoo dose too I have tried with my girlfriend and it's of good quality. But I'm not sure if it works with any of the cm mods

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.

Dear Nicgra!
I have found the qik app on home screen of the My Touch 4G, but it asked me to sign in to make a video call, I follow the instruction to sign in, and the result is the phone of my wife could not receive the call.
I try to make avideo call from my touch 4G to another device such as Nokia or Sony.
Please help
Thanks alot

The phone you make the video call to must be running the same software as the phone initiating the call. For example, both phones must be signed into Qik. You can't place a video call using Qik on your MT4G to a Nokia phone running different software. Hope that helps.

Try Tango for video calls. I have had the best luck with that app so far.

i use yahoo, tango, and oovoo. all have good quality.

tango is the best

Is tango supported on android 2.3 (cm7)?

If you are still running stock mt4g, use yahoo video calling. Its the best.
