I fail to make regular video call by 3G cellular netwok ( not by internet like skype and else) , do I need apps or different rom, or video call not supported on dell streak .

Use the "Tango" app lets you video chat with others over 3g
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I also use the fring app to make 3g video calls
3G video calling is possible but not practical due to the limited/irregular data transfer over a 3G connection for any network (lagging). I've some practical success with visual and verbal conversation over 3H connections (E=low,G=med & H=high MB/s) but ideally 4G will be more suitable for this type of communication method. To reply to your post - YES.
I don't want to use tango, fring and else, or other web apps. I just want regular video call without internet. With nokia or galaxy I use to place call to anyone that have just phone with camera and usim.

You provided your own solution - use the Nokia or Galaxy phone.

Am i being very naive here? I assumed my streak would make video calls out of the box but i cant find the option for it. Is this something android is lacking? My touch hd did it straight from the dailer.

Get fring app or qik app then you can video call.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah, I don't think the Streak can, the only time I've seen the front camera being used for video calls is with it was used with other apps like Fring I think (I could be wrong though....not really tried myself).
EDIT: Oops, someone beat me to it
Im reluctant to sign up to fring. is there a reason why streak cant make video calls natively? My last 4 phones could?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Dell didn't ads the support for this in the dialer. So you have to wait for someone to either port over one or create one... Other than that your options are bring and qik, which doesn't support the front can yet but I emailed them and got a reply about two weeks ago saying they're working on it

i got the video calling working with front facing cam with clearsea app....this is pc to streak and wifi and 3g.....but 3g has to be a good signal

you set up an account.....checked your email...and should have 2 user names,one that yours,and one to give to someone else to use
did the other person downloaad app for phone/pc and put in the 2nd name you recieved in your email(they don't have to sign up for ana ccount,just dled the app)
and they and you have your password in?.....its the same for both of you
try to call me at husaberg1228230
the real problem with this app,is its a server based client,and they only give you a 10 day trail to use theres.....i have my own website,so i was going to see if i can use it,but i might not since its not a dedicated server....but ill check it out
the real deal is dell/google/att need to get their act together and quit trying to subsidize every aspect of mobile technologies....and give us(quit blocking) android guys video conferencing : )....haha
like video calling in skype and gmail could already be used to go to phones,and not just another pc....but they block its use(implemation)in the software of cell phones
I concur. I tried it today with a an iphone 4 buddy and worked well. He was on wifi and I was on 3g then I switched to wifi also and even better. Finally - I have an option!!!

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.

Nice! So does Tango have a PC capabilities also, or is it only mobile to mobile?
I have been looking for the Android equivalent of Talkatone on the iPhone for a while. Talkatone allows you to make direct calls via gtalk (without callback to cell phone which uses up cell phone minutes).
The Android equivalent App is called GooVe IP:

But is not available. For India

I am wondering the same thing. Here is one important difference.
Net Talk - You will not receive a phone number-outgoing calls only
GrooVe IP - app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It works via Google Voice.
I think I will take a chance on GrooVe IP.

nettalk app doesn't make use of the proximity sensor so it kind of sucks in the respect that it leaves the touch screen functional while running. I've been bitten by this a couple of times...
I might try out grooveip as I've seen several people say that it's decent.
I WAS going to try out skype, but now that M$ got their sticky fingers on them...

I'll have to try it, as other than not using the proximity sensor nettalk works fine for me on wifi, and with my usually crappy 3G here I don't believe that ANY app will work over 3G for me...
I'll post back with the results next time I use it unless someone beats me to it...
Hi All, I am just newly shifting from HTC Desire HD to SGS II. I used to use internet calling through BRIA application over 3G on my desire HD phone without any voice quality issues. Trying the same on SGS II, I noticed that while I can hear the other side clearly, they cannot hear me at all! I loved my new phone though I ended up holding both 4+ inch screen phones to manage all my internet intl. Calls on my old phone! Has anyone experienced same problems with internet calling on SGS II? Please share if there is any specific settings needs to be adjusted.
Additional observation, meanwhile my Desire HD has some options for internet calling under Settings/Call, the SGS II doesn't! Where can I find the normal Internet Calling Setting gs on it?
Thanks all, & Have a great day!

I use Ooma and the call quality's great over 3/4G and Wi-Fi. The call quality's not as good if the signal's weak but that's to be expected.
Seems strange! As i'm using the highest speed internet data plan (21M) H+!
What codecs are you using for calls over 3G? I am using G729 as I heard it is the best 3G codec. BRIA Even are selling it separately away of their application price to those willing to have very good quality over 3G! But seems this is not the problem as I am using same settings on both phones!

There is an app called cSipsimple in the market.it works with any voip and voice quality is great. It has a function to integrate with your dialer if you want. You will need to configure the mic because SGS2 has two mics.one at the top and one at the bottom.these software tends to use the upper mic by default.there is also another option to activate the default integrated sip function that comes with the phone.only fault, it seems to use the upper mic (close to the phone jack).i can't remember if this can be configured.

Gave it a try! It is working great! Really thank you!
Though, still needs to understand about the mics issue! Does it mean this application uses different mic than BRIA is configured to use! Couldn't get this as a Non-Specialist. Can a headphone speaker with a mic solve the problem?
