Hi Guys,
Does the LG G2 support 3G video calling?
My previous phones did and I was wondering if this phone can do the same?
Thanks
It works for me on the Tango app. AT&T G2

He meant native video calling and not via other apps.
I also was searching for an answer to this question.
On GSMARENA and other websites they say it supports native video calling but I could never find the option!
I have the same question/problem
D802 (D80210f-SEA)
Nah native video calling capability is front facing cam, an app to support it installed (gtalk or hangouts) and 3g capabilities.

But on my old galaxy S3 I could simply go to contacts and chose to Video call someone and it will do it with any 3rd party app.
The question was does it support video calling on 3G....Yes it does WITH any video calling capable app. No, it can't be done from contacts, LG didn't include it as an option.

What are the requirements for using using 2-way live Qik Video Chat. Can i use tmobile tab app to call to iphone 4 or does both devices needs to be android based? and does qik be installed on both devices?
thanks,
I use my Tab and call my wife's Epic. Both have to have the app. If the app is available for the iphone you would be able to call (ver.4)

Well, Skype was just purchased by Microsoft for 8.5 Billion, so lets see what happens to Skype having FFC support for Android... If its on the roadmap, it will still see the light of day but for how long until M$ starts to mess with Skype?
Are you guys calling other SGSII only?

I used qik and called my friend on his iphone 4
And I am sure you looked Crystal Clear while he looked "OK"...
Does anyone know of an Android video chat app that can connect to Live Messenger / Video Kinect? I'd really like to try video chatting with my daughter through the Xbox once I get the SGS2.

Not unless you find an app that supports it, video calling of any kind is not natively supported by the os
Don't know about new roms but existing firmwares already manage it with the latest Skype from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285 does it. They are moded versions of the most recent Skype release on the Market.
Skype video calling is awesome. :3
I wasnt refering to skype, my carrer gives me 500 video call minuter per month. I was talking about normal 3G video calling, made like an usual phone call.

Maybe samung built it into there version of the os, what i mean is, stock android has no video calling ability, infact 2.3.4 will be the first version of android that supports video calling, through gtalk

Try a video calling app called TANGO. It works perfectly with the PLAY, back AND front cam...great quality.
It integrates itself into the android "dialer" kind of and syncs all of your contacts. You can call a computer also in addition to a phone.
I used it to call an ex-gf on her samsung infuse (at&t)
worked FLAWLESSLY
(its free)
Tryed skype, it's awsome Thx 4 the help.
Cheers!

Sometimes it doesn't work, if you call someone on your list you will hear a ring tune from your phone but on his/her phone it's not ringing.. Vice versa..
Sometimes also headphone feature are not working, and there is a scratching sound that is so annoying..
According to the SE facebook this morning, the new Skype update supports video calling over 3G on the Play.
Anyone else find that while playing YouTube videos it's a bit choppy? I tested multiple videos and they all seem to be very choppy.

No problem here on the open D802 version.
Only with HD enabled. Unfortunately. Alot of other users (german android-hilfe.de forum) also say that its choppy with HD enabled (D802).
Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.
Quad core, 2.3GHZ, 2GB RAM, and youtube plays choppy ? unbelievable...

Issue lies within the LG Software.
Does this happen on wifi too, or just on the celluar network? I have verizon and no issues so far.

Tmo here, no issues on 4g, LTE, or wi-fi.
Getting choppiness on HD here as well. I'm using the Youtube app. Does anyone know of any good third party Youtube apps?

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I can't believe the default Youtube app still has problems up till now. It's a Google app for goodness' sake!

I have also brought thus issue up in the Q&A forum before. The only solutions I have found so far is too uninstall updates of the YouTube app and use the old one instead, or use the mobile web version.

No lag for me on youtube vids at all so far, Bell version of LG G2, that being said i will keep an eye out for any oddities, since my youtube app just updated itself this morning.
No problem here. Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app?

I just found this one today and I like it's ability to run in background and popup. And you can sign into it with your YouTube account

So the video camera app is pretty useless due to the horrible auto focus on speed, so I need a new one - any recommendations that works well with the G2. Has to be able to record [email protected]

Try ProCapture. I've used it for a long time, it's even better on the G2 and does [email protected] Just tested it and focus seems to be fairly good.
I have the paid version, but they have a free one to try before you buy.

Install lgCamera from the Play Store. It's the best replacement I've found for the video issue. I've been using the free for a bit, seems to work so I'll likely shell out the dough to buy it outright.
I've tried several apps (Lenovo Super Camera, Focal, a few others whose names I forget) and none of them worked as well for me as the lgCamera did. Good luck.

Unfortunately it cannot record 60fps.

Does anybody know of a video camera app that has tap to focus rather than continuous autofocus?
