Front facing camera or not?
I found few sources where they say there is front facing camera on Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for video chat.
Can some one confirm this?
Yes there is one and there are even hands-on videos showing it being used (I forgot where )
eh I watch all videos of Samsung Galaxy S and didn't find such video.
It comes with front facing camera and have a button in the call screen to do video call but personally, i dont use that feature since non of my friends / family use that so i cant tell you if it works properly.
But you can try to use front face video camera with fring (over skype service). To video conf with someone who have skype.
I don't want to use that for 3g video call that is very bad but over internet with fring can be nice.

would be great to see it in action, or with Qik.
Fring doesnt currently support the Front facing camera on the Galaxy S. I'm hoping this situation changes v soon !

the new version supports front cams, it might be model specific do you have a link which says otherwise?
just installed and its probably the worst software i've tried so i uninstall.
1) cannot load any contacts from skype
2) load itself even i specifically uncheck to load at startup
3) after i exit, it still stays in memory
i looked at the comments on market and they are mostly negative

I tried the Video Call Test on fring and it works.. I don't know if it'll work on an actual Fring to Fring video call..
Fring still have problems with my Galaxy S, it mutes my phone whenever I make a call.. & it does not transmit my voice..
has anyone made a successful Fring Call???

I think some other phones like Evo and Dell streak FF Cameras are supported, just not the Galaxy S yet.

You got it to make a Video call using the front camera ? Surprised as Fring say they are still working on it and I can't do one with my phone.

Forgiven
lol back camera??? is that even possible? I mean back camera would be much better quality for video streaming.
It uses the back camera at present, which would be good for streaming as you suggested. Ideally a mechanism to switch between both would be ideal !
Yes!! That would be great
I have another question. If you install fring and you are online.
1.) Do you have option to check 'start this application when Galaxy S start' ?
2.) Can this application be in background so if you got call over skype phone will ring? I mean can this phone will be used primary like SKYPE phone?
how does the inbuilt video calling work, ie the one in the contacts menu. What types of phones can it call?? is it some open protocol?
Fring improves audio, adds support for Samsung Galaxy S

Just upgraded and did my test call with the forward facing camera baby! All good.
Now I'm sure the next thing people will be asking for is being able to switch between the two.
I'm looking for a working videocall solution for my samsung TAB. I'm using Fring and also I tried Tango with the same wrong results. I downloaded tha last version of both sw from the martket; For my test I used my Samsung Galaxy S calling a Tab and viceversa. Results:
On My TAB I can see a TAB "internal" camera and also a GALAXY S camera, but on Galaxy S just an internal GALAXY camera (no video from TAB).
Anybody can try the same "experiment"? Anybody have an idea why thats happend? Some suggestion about a wrong setting in both devices?
I think it's coming from the app.
Maybe you should try to contact the devs.
I used tango with the Tab and a SGS.
I could see the video from the tab on the SGS only it came from the rear camera.
come to ask for help as google search and found nothing, when recording with my note galaxy does not have autofocus and can not find a solution, somebody help me please leave additional data
pd: I have a test video on youtube, but I can not put links
Its like this on my Note too.. Never thought of it as a problem.. But it may be a problem.. I almost never record videos.. I will ask Samsung Sweden tomorrow about this..
I can not put links, but search youtube galaxy macro or autofocus note and you'll see much difference, mine records blur
Hi, I just bought my Galaxy S4 (i9500) yesterday, June 28th.
Since the moment i bought it, I am facing the following issues.
AIR VIEW:
Air View is working while I am watching videos and i want to forward them. But it doesnt work with stock email app, messaging, webpages etc. I tried disabling and re-enabling the air-view and air-gestures, but the problem isnt solved.
Smart Stay/Scroll:
Also, smart stay doesnt work, the video isnt paused when i look away from the screen. Neither does the smart scroll work with webpages.
Please help me with these issues. How can i solve them ? Do i need to change some settings ?
Thanks.

try that
menu-systen setting-my device-accessibility- and put magnification gesture to off
should help for air view
Hit thanks if that help
Thank you. The air view and air gestures are working fine. But the SMART PAUSE feature is still not working. I have enabled it in settings, but cant use it while watching videos.
PLEASE HELP..
I have the same problem. Tried several roms and kernels but no luck. If the smart stay uses the front cam to function which then cam is fully functional, I suspect is software related
Edit: latest Samsung firmware (MGG) fixed all my problems

Maybe you are blocking the front cam with your finger? Or its dirty, or you wear glasses?
