Hello.. My wife has a samsung galaxy s vibrant, with a front facing camera, when she opens the dialer, she has the option to click on video call for video. I just bought a motorola atrix and it does not have the same, and they tell me to use tango or another third party app. I am confused, does the atrix not support video calling through the cell phone network ? Whe she tried to video call me it fails...
Can someone clarify please.
You would need to be over wifi on the atrix. T-mobile is the only company that let's you do video calls with out wifi. Also, she uses what's called qik. If you don't have qik on the atrixs then you would need to use a 3rd party app such as tango. I believe through that specific app you both would need to be on wifi. Hope that helps.

Use Tango, QIK is just not as stable and it doesn't work well on the Vibrant FFC
You both should have a tango account (free) then you can open Tango and just call, It will take about 15-30 secs to make video connection after it hooks up in the call (Faster if both of you are on Wi-fi). Then talk away and oogle at your wife, girlfriend, pet Aardvark...etc. (assuming the Aardvark has a tango account too).
I use it quite a bit with my wife it is kinda cool. And, I solely use it over 3G and it works in my area pretty well without lag.
Hope that helped.
Thanks guys, But what does her phone use when she clicks video call instead of call when normally dialing a number in the default dialer? thats what I am trying to use with her, video over 3g, I pay 5$/month for video calling, but i dont think my motorola supports it. im trying to avoid 3rd party so i can use it without wifi, and without running up data..
I returned my atrix already and waiting for another galaxy S, not just because of video, I did not like motoblur, and also, for some odd reason, when i try to voice dial over bluetooth, I have to unlock the phone first.. which i find very stupid, i dont want to touch my phone when im using my headset.
Just to add, I did try tango, and I think its not supported on the atrix because it all worked, but the voice was so choppy it sounded like slow motion, video did work.
I also tried qik, but for some reason, It wont call my wife, says she doesnt have it, and she cant call me, for the same reason, altho we are both signed on..
Thanks guys.

you MAY want to try and check out/ talk in the Atrix section of this forum... We vibrant users may not know as much about the phone as the people who actually have it.
Ask them if there's a rom/app that would let you do video chats.
Hey guys,
I have installed Resurrection ROM v2.6 on my International Galaxy S2. Whenever I try using Skype or Tango, I am having a weird problem - the person whom I am calling can hear and see my but I am not able to hear anything. It is like the speaker and earpiece just refuse to work for a video/voice chat client. :crying: In any case, I have tried deleting the app data and then re-installing Skype and Tango. But it doesn't work.
I had v2.5 installed before and it was working fine. If nothing works then I will probably just back-port.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey, I've actually got a Mesmerize, but as you know, it's the same phone. The voice input doesn't work. When I talk, it doesn't "hear" me. However, when I open my voice recorder, I can record my voice just fine. Anyone know what's going on? I couldn't find anything about this anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

You can use app to make video call like Skype,using GSM cannot,think so.
Hello,
Recently got my hands on a secondhand SGS2 and it seemed to work perfectly, except for the following;
There is no audio when recording a video or using the memorecorder! The mic seems to work fine since I have no problems with calling people, they can hear me just fine.
This was all with the stock ROM (4.1.2), so I thought it might be a software problem, rooted the phone and installed CM10.1. Still the same problem! So I went back to the stock ROM and while playing with the FM radio I noticed that when I press the record button in the FM radio there is no audio in the recorded file either!? I also tried playing the files back on my PC.
So to me, it seems like it's an encoder problem (is that even possible?).
I've also installed an app called igCamera to tried and change the mic options / encoding but that didn't make a difference either.
Any ideas on where to go from here? Anything else I can test?
Thanks!

I bought it from my sister-in-law for an extremely low price, so returning it is no option Besides, since I can make calls the hardware seems to be ok. Or is there another mic used when recording video?
Anyone? I've tried various testprogram's to test the microphone but they none of them can detect any sound! From what I understand the SGS2 has 2 microphones, can someone tell me if the second mic is only used for noisecancellation, or is it also used to record audio? If the same mic is used to make calls as for recording video then it must be a software problem I guess, but I have no clue how to solve this.. :silly:
