Have an HTC ThunderBolt and a burning desire to use Skype’s video chat service? You’re in luck, because the gang over at Droid-Life have discovered a leaked iteration of the Internet communication client that is video-chat ready. The client, which was expected to ship with the ThunderBolt at the time of its announcement, can only be installed on Verizon’s first LTE smartphone… at the moment. If you’re interested in taking the software for a spin, hit the read link and have yourself a download.

Thanks for the heads up man

I sure hope they come out with a FULL Skype version that allows us to make/receive calls (on WiFi at least....). I got the Skype mobile working with video. It's nice for sure.
I cant get it to work at all. I cant figure out why, whenever i click the start video button, it switches like its initializing the video, then goes back to the main screen... anyone have any ideas
Just an FYI to anyone wanting to try skype that wasn't aware:

Phone to PC video calls fails.
Has anyone gotten phone to pc calls to work? I can make phone to pc audio calls just fine, I can make phone to phone video calls as well. But I can not get phone to pc (or pc to phone) video calls to work.
Any ideas?
Phone to pc works fine 4 me.

I found that phone to PC only works if the PC is running the most recent Skype update forces audio only otherwise.

I am having mixed results and am beginning to wonder if the problems with the video are related to the version running on the different pc's.
I'll have to test that out with some friends...

Keep any eye on your notification light. The amber one. Sometimes it stays lit when you have Skype on. I noticed it more than a handful of times. It stopped as soon as I removed Skype.

I had to upgrade my version of Skype on Ubuntu to 2.2 and it worked fine.

Hey Guys. Ive been running CM7 since we got it on the Bravo, and suddenly I cant send data over wifi. Im using Google Voice, which has worked since we got cm7, and I can still receive texts, but I cant send. Anyone else having problems like this?
have you tried putting the phone into airplane mode and then back? Sometimes this clears things up and forces the phone to make a new connection with things and may work
AT&T WiFi manager app
Just found this after missing this feature. Figured some of you using CM7 or MIUI may like this app at the link:

Just got my iconia A500 very recently and stumbled upon this forum. I used the search function to see if this had been asked but didn't find anything - apologies if this is a duplicate.
I installed GrooveIP and it doesn't seem to work great. The call goes through fine and I can hear people perfectly, but everyone complains that my voice sounds "wonky" on their end and there's a pretty obvious lag. I've tested it out on multiple networks, including on a T3 network, so I don't think that's the problem. Anyone encounter something like this?
Thanks!
I have it installed and linked to my Google Voice and I cant make calls. I connect to my wifi @ home and nothing.

I've installed it and I could make calls but my tablet wouldn't receive calls.
I use the app and it works great for me. The developer web site has information on sound issues. I have also read the developer is good at getting back to the user if questions are asked. Give it a try.
Hello everyone,
Has anyone experienced issues with their microphone not working during a gtalk video call? I used the Modaco app the installs gtalk, Im running 2.3.3 UK on r800x and I had the same issues with 2.3.3.
I can hear others just fine but no one can ever hear me. I tried looking for a fix but it only led me to a Xda forum about gtalk v1.3 w/ video for rooted users. Some zip files on the thread but none changed anything.
Just curious if anyone has experienced the microphone not working for them and if anyone has found a way to correct this? I can always just skype call and it works ok, but I cant figure gtalk out to make it work correct and I would like it to.
No issues on 2.3.4 maybe you should try the update
R800x I cant use 2.3.4 :/

I bought my Tab 7.7 3 days ago. Its the 16GB 3G variant. Gtalk video just refuses to work. It will initiate the call and then just close the call window when the other party answers. The same thing occurs when I receive a Gtalk video chat request and answer the call. It usually shows a black screen where the other contact's video feed should be showing and occasionally shows my face and sometimes does not. But it always, always closes the chat window after I answer or the other person answers. I tried updating the firmware to the latest European version, LA3, but the problem persists.
I know that it's not a problem with my connection since my Galaxy Note is able to pull of Gtalk video chats without a hitch and Skype video works fine on both the Tab 7.7 and the Note.
I would really appreciate any feedback on your experiences with Gtalk video on the 7.7 since it is my second most frequently used app.
Anyone? Is Gtalk video chat working properly for all of you?

I just tried it from my tablet to my sister computer and it worked perfectly over wifi.
Unfortunatly i dont think it works over 3g though.
I think your "problem" is the other persons Internet speeds. I did just have a perfect conversation with my sister but whenever i try and call my mom in Malaysia it tends to be very hit and miss if it is going to work or not.

Worked fine for me - both Voice & Video chat. This was between 2 SG 7.7 6810 tabs over Wifi. One was LA2 & other KL5.

Use it daily for video chat with my girlfriend. Never had any problems.

Thanks for the responses guys!
I found out that maxing the image stabilization slider causes some problems with the camera drivers and may cause the Gtalk app to hang sporadically. It also results in a wonky picture. Turning the stabilization slider to minimum seems to have improved the stability of the Gtalk app and I tested it in a Gtalk video chat between the tab and a laptop over WiFi yesterday and found it to be working fine. Still having audio issues with my gf, so it's possible that her connection or my 3G data plan is the culprit. The funny thing is that I havent had the same issues over 3G with my Galaxy Note.
