What are some of the apps that use front facing camera?
Gtalk does not use it?there is no y!messenger in the market either?
How do you guys use this?
gtalk works for me, but you could probably use fring for video chat
Google Talk uses the ffc just fine, in my experience.
how does one start the camera in talk?
I can see the camera icon against my name but I cannot seem init a video chat session. Am I missing something?

I tried Tango on my Viewsonic GTab and it FC'd something fierce. I assumed it had something to do with missing some of the phone components of Android and haven't tried it on the A500.
Anyone have a good experience with Tango?

if your contact has the camera icon on them it means they support it. And then you simply tap the video icon next to them and BAM, it works.
Works flawlessly and amazing too.
damn it, I have useless friends. No one with video capability!

GTalk does work, I have already had a video chat and it worked great. Have to play again but I think the rear cam works also.
Used GTalk with my netbook the other day and it worked great.

Sorry I made the suggestion for tango without actually testing it out. But to get tango to launch without closing you need to have the iconia in portrait with the rotation lock on. However since I do not have a mobile number for my tablet I don't think tango will work
Your friends probably just need to download the video chat add on for their PC or Mac http://www.google.com/chat/video
If you are trying to chat with someone that is using an android phone I believe video chat in google talk is only built in the newer versions of gingerbread

lol, thanks. I am going to have to try this camera thing out.
ok, checked it out, how the heck do you get the video chat working? It only gives me the option to send IM's
Your counterpart needs to install video and audio plugin for Gtalk. Just by clicking option for video call (from PC) it will pop up an install screen .

Gtalk PC does support video call ?
http://www.google.com/chat/video?hl=en
http://www.google.com/talk/
so far only web gtalk (so from gmail...) support it
and of course Gtalk Android support
The other person has to be in gmail to do video and if your contacts once they have the plugin there will then be the little video icon I tested the other day with my brother from my iconia using talk to his Acer laptop using gmail chat.. we tried using the Google talk program on his laptop but video option wasn't showing up?

Ya, it works. Need to enable it in settings. Why is that off as a default?
Ha. Just tried it and it works like a charm. Awesome!
Confirmed.... New version 2.5.0.108 released 9/29 ..... YOU MUST ENABLE VIDEO IN SETTINGS... Works on 10.1 retail... (obviously Non T-mobile).

It does work for me too, have to enable in the setting, AWESOME!!!
I loaded it on my stock Tab 10.1 wifi only. Here are my results...
- I can communicate to my desktop but I get a message stating that the connection is too slow for video.
- I can NOT even connect to my HTC Thunderbolt (Android 2.2) phone. I can chat with the phone but video connection doesn't even ring on the phone and vice versa.
- The HTC Thunderbolt communicates beautifully with my desktop. No slowdown and a nice picture.
Seems that the Honeycomb version of Skype still needs to be in the oven until it's done baking.
ooVoo Always worked like a charm...However I did install skype just in case I needed it.

Thumbs up here! Just make sure you enable it in the settings. After it prompts about "might not work" just ok through that and you get video!!

Just after logging in ( where you can see icons for contact, profile etc.) use the 5th button(next one to the screenshot button) on the notification bar.
finally it works, great
it seems Skype new version 2.5.0.108, now supporting video calling.

Was just about to post this lol.
Just got an update notification this morning when I turned my tablet on and it works perfectly talking to my sister in Australia on video call both ways
Just make sure to enable Video Calling in the settings.
Nice job Skype!!
Mark.
Great news. I was always looking at my front camera wondering why it is there.
Thanks for the heads up!

Nice! I saw the update but was unsure of support for our tablets. Looks like it works now. Thanks for the heads up.

How exactly is it not working? More info please.
Is it force closing or is there no option to enable video in the settings?
I have Revolution 1.2.2 and its working great I have already gone through 3 video calls this morning with no problems.

Nice - the only feature I missed.
Tested in and it works nicely on the stock ROM.

finally, tf is getting better n better
Anyone know why Transformer is not listed as working on the market listing, yet it works?
Why is everyone ignoring the best-selling Android tablet, yet always talking about the lesser spotted Xoom and Tab?
OK I tried the video call and it's buggy. it keeps showing pop up on the taskbar. n video from ny side sometime won't show . that's why it's not listed in white list.

are you using a custom Rom?
Video calling works perfect here...no problem at all
I'm having trouble with it as well. No video call option and it keeps coming up in the task bar that skype is signed in. Trying now to clear data and reboot.
*EDIT: Stupidity is the cause of my problems. Anyone else who is not thinking this morning make sure you are at the main menu in skype and do the following
Menu->Settings
Make sure "Enable video calling is checked"
Works flawlessly now.

mmmm.. not working for me here, Tried clearing data, reinstalling (of course enabling video calls from settings). I' m in Prime 1.9. Seems that I have to wait until it is "officially supported"
I got a Vega primarily for its video chat functionality but cannot get any app to work reliably. The closest I've got is when using Skype v2.5.4.162 and running Vegacomb 3.2 build 9n Update 3.
It works but...there is a delayed echo when you speak into the Vega, ie. you can hear everything you say with about a 2 second delay. It is so pronounced, intrusive and distracting that the app is pretty much unusable - extremely frustrating
I've tried altering the settings, speaker & mic volumes etc. and still can't get rid of it. I've also tried reinstalling the app but still no joy. I've also tried installing other versions of the Skype app but, as experienced by others, so far v2.5.4.162 is the one that works with the least issues.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution? Does anyone have any suggestions? If so, I'd be really really grateful for any advice or help you can offer.
I did do a search on the forums and it seems that some have got Skype and other videochat apps working ok on Vegacomb - what am I missing...?
Many thanks
Skype - help!
Hi
Can anyone help with my Skype-related problems please? Happy to consider changing ROM or whatever, but really do need Skype to work without occasional Force Close, persistent delayed voice & echo problems etc.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received..!

Sorry can't help you with the Skype thingie, because I have the problem myself as well. But can you tell me if voice & video chat on Google Talk works for you? Because with me the app shuts down when I try to attempt it...
I have the VegaCream ROM btw..
Hello everyone!
Can I somehow disable beauty mode for the front camera?
My face is too smooth when I am using a video call on Skype, Viber, Messenger and I hate that, so if someone knows how can I disable it that'd be awesome!
My P9 Lite is rooted tho.
With much thanks!?
Anyone?

Camera app settings aren't kind of working for the thing I want to do.
Yes, I CAN turn off the beauty mode when I am taking a selfie, but I CAN'T pick whether I want my face to be beautified while I am using skype video call for example or not. Thats what I want, thats why I told you that my phone is rooted, if its possible to make some adjustments in the root directory to disable it completely.
I dont want my face to look smooth and unnatural while I am making a video call.
Hopefully you can understand me what I want. ?
Thanks for your advice though, but that is not working for me.
I have the same problem please help
