[Q] Video on Skype - Epic 4G General

Hello!
I've upgraded new version of the Skype and really don't understand, video working on it or not. I have EH17 Rom, stock.
On new version of the Skype I can't see icons for the video. Is it only my or New version of Skype doesn't have a video?
Please, can somebody answer it?
Or, may be somebody will give me a link on skype which works on Epic 4G?
Thank you!

There are hacked apks to force video to work on unsupported devices.
As far as I know both of these work.

Gingerbread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16889575&postcount=1262

Video works on Froyo from the official marketplace app . . . just not the rear camera.

New Skype update has video calling for certain phones

Just got a Skype update. It now supports video calling for certain phones. I can't remember all that were listed but nexus s and a couple from HTC were there. No mention of the ATRIX. I can't see any options or indications of the feature anywhere in the program and I have no one on my list online to call. If its in the app I assume it should be able to be enabled for the ATRIX with a little tinkering.

THE PATCHED HACK DOES NOT WORK.
it doesn't work on either froyo or GB, has been tested over the last 2 days. it only works on a few samsung and HTC devices, most likely related more to the processor and NEON capabilities of the device, which our phone lacks.

actually i saw this post after i saw the specific download on another website.
then i saw your message.
anyway, i haven't been noticing that skype for android cannot dial a video calls. hope they fix it so we can all can dial those video calls much more esier. or, we can wait to google video in 2.3.4 or to facebook video calls based on skype.

Woah, now that's a weird one. What EH17 did you have? Samfirmware's Odexed version? Crawjr's Deodexed Version? Or Deca's Deodexed version? They seem to be reacting differently to certain things. I'm on Deca's Deodexed EH17. Still rooted here.
Ok I'm rooted on EG22 and I see the video icon on gtalk but when I click on video chat, it just vibrates and closes out on me. I'm on CWM 3.1.01. So I tried installing it from the zip again and it gave me some error info.

I'm using the same ROM and had the same issue. Video chat works great, but kills root access.

That's very interesting... I'll be sure to let crawjr know, this, and other modifications have been giving minor issues for those on his version of EH17. I am personally using Deca's EH17 Deodexed. And as for the person having issues on EG22, gtuansdiamm said it worked, are you deodexed/have any themes installed? If so, check to make sure you don't have two copies of Talk in system/app
So I finally got the new Talk to work. I can see the incoming video on my phone, but the person on the other end can't see me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try a different friend. Lol. Jk, there's a few factors..can't pinpoint it, could be the os/browser/internet...
I have video chatted with my lil bro, xp sp2, I believe on firefox 5.2.. and we have excellent bandwidth. Plenty for 2 ps3s to game on while youtube streams in the background..
Thanks for linking me to this thread on the APP 4 Video Calls on EPIC ? thread. Exactly what I was looking for, didn't want to have to convince my girlfriend to try Tango or Skype, since she's always on GTalk anyhow.
Now when I'm at the store with some vague crap on the shopping list she handed me, I can point the phone at the shelf and tell her to pick whatever I need to throw in the cart. This'll save me some B&M from her after I get home from the grocery store!
So... sending this thread back to Page 1, where it belongs.
(Note: Maybe this should be in the Epic 4G Apps forum; I'd missed the thread because I'd only searched the Apps subforum.)

Any one have an issue with tango?

My ffc was showing nothing but green static....
I found a fix listed on the Tango website....
Revert back to an older version of tango using links on this page
http://support.tango.me/entries/20228181-video-is-upside-down
the problem was for the video being upside down but I found it to work with the green static problem as well....
I had the green static problem running CM 7.1. I just uninstalled it.

gtalk video

Hello everyone,
I have flashed xxki4, pretty happy with its performance and battery life. One thing Im missing is gtalk with video, never had much need for it, but my mate has a sensation and keeps saying that his phone is better than mine cos it has this.
Am i right in saying I can't install the gtalk video apk without rooting? Im not rooting and have no interest in doing so.
If thats the case, are there any good roms with gtalk video included on a par with battery life and performance with xxki4.
Appreciate your advice.

No you dont need root.
Easy way for you would go market and install talk 1.3 installer..

From what I have gathered from the above responses, only if rooted (which I am not) so my question is are there any decent roms which has it built in.

One of the official 2.3.4 leaks has build in Gtalk with video chat.
I don't remember which version, but maybe I can check it later.
Not sure but I think kg6 was the last leak that had it. 2.3.4

It was XXKG2. The only bad thing with this version is that webrowser is crashing on some flash webpages.
Root ur phone.
Download the talk with video from $omator's thread for the sgs1 gtalk.
Apply as a zip from sdcard in recovery.
It works.
