Ok, we know that Fring and Qik are the two that we can use the front facing camera for any video call per say, but that is only between two phones. How about phone to computer or vice versa? Fring used to offer the skype video call add-on but it is blocked now.
Thanks in advance
Sorry to highjack thread, but I can't get Qik to even recognize the front camera on my 1.6 Streak.. will Fring?

Yes, Fring uses the front facing camera but sadly QIK doesn not recognize the front camera.
Google voice has skype-like functionality, doesn't it? I haven't really tried it myself yet (waiting for my data plan to upgrade the beginning of next month), but considering how ubiquitous gmail is becoming it might be a possibility.
I'm pretty new here but have been a google voice user for a while now amd it is not like skype basically it just gives you a new number and makes you have to go through them to make calls and send texts.

Same on 2.1, the option to switch camera in settings is greyed out. Gonna email qik tomorrow and see if they plan an update to support our devices.

Let us know if you hear back. Thanks.
Finally got a reply from qik, heres what the email says:
Hi,
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We are expanding on the range of phones that Qik will support. There are already some Dell Streak users who have written to us, and we are developing the features now. It would be helpful if you could offer us your feedback on how to make Qik work better for you on the Dell Streak.
Thank you for writing to us, have a great day

Gonna reply and tell them that the option to use front camera needs to be enabled and also maybe to adjust the front camera's brightness?
I noticed when i video call using fring with my friend that has an iPhone 4, his is much brighter than mine which is almost black in a dark room...

Hi to all!
nice to write from Italy to all of you!
I just bought a Dell Streak 5 and I've upgraded to 2.2 version that I found more better and complete compared to the 2.1
I switched from HTC because lately, I was bored because of the lees of the ront facing camera (I use to work a lot on Skype)
the thing thatI noticed that when I receive call, the profile picture is small and very low defined.
Is there a trick to make the definition of that image as the original?
Thanks advanced
Best regards

Try the Full Screen Caller ID app in the market. It will give you a high res big picture. I cant get it to work on my crappy 1.6 os. Good luck

I use it with 1.6.1 and works fine
Works good on 2.2 as well!
Make sure you get the correct one as one is very hit and miss - Fullscreencallerpro is very stable and works very well.
Excellent picture quality.
Dearest Guys,
I've followed your suggestions and both of your program work with the 2.2
I have to say that they show excellent pictures quality.
Thank you very much for your help

How about GIF?
How come the GIF does not work in the incoming call?
Many thanks.
Nobody uses GIF as the contact icon?
I really am pleased with the work you have done so far Steve and have donated already. I wanted to make a request for yahoo messenger video chat to get the front facing camera option like you did for oovoo if its an easy fix. Also if Skype can recognize video chat. 1.7 Runs very smooth and I had to do a factory reset whithin 1.7 to get it working fully. I kept getting stuck in wifi or 3g and could not go to the other. In case someone is experiencing the same issue. always willing to support and will donate again in the future.

I would be eternally grateful if Master Steve could provide us with a dialer (Gingerbread/GalaxyTab/dontknowwhatelse...) that supports native video calls.
I do not know if this is possible without Dell's help, but i would really really love this feature that even 50 euro cellphones have nowadays.
I think it would be awesome to get a rip of the new "Facebook phone" apk and build it in. Or hell, just the rip would be fine!

Was anyone able to successfully use any VOIP app on this phone?
I tried several of them, i can her the other party fine but all they hear is some distortion.
I tested with Skype, Line2, Sipdroid, Fring.
Fring and Sipdroid are totally unusable.
It seems like Motorola screwed up the voice API's on the phone so no VOIP app works..
You try CSipsimple?
This is a serious let down for me. I was looking forward to being able to use Skype on my phone after many years of crappy WinMo phones. This SUCKS
Skype works fine for me!
Over wifi only!
does anybody know how to bypass the message in skype that states somethin about MAKING CALLS ONLY OVER WIFI, anybody know how to do that?

Agree, voip sucks. I'm coming from iphone 4 and this is one major thing that I miss. There were so many voip apps in ios, they all worked perfectly.

I literally tried every single free (and two paid) voip apps on the market yesterday. Nothing works on this phone like it should. Either the mic is all messed up or the audio is choppy, Motorola really messed something up here.
Same here. I've tried several of them and none works right. The same apps work perfectly on my Galaxy Tab so my assumption is that this is a Motorola mess-up.
Did you guys ever stop to think that it's the applications that don't support the phone, not the phone itself? Blaming Motorola for a third party app not working is the most ludicrous thing I've heard all day.

Interesting. But if Motorola had confidence their phone worked, would they not have included an app on it?

...no? That doesn't even make any sense. There isn't some magical "voip support" that a phone manufacturer codes into their device. Be patient and wait for developers to update their apps to support new hardware that's barely been out 2 weeks.

I have used many voip apps now (free and paid) and can confirm that there is some problem with this phone when it comes to VoIP apps. I've used same apps on nexus one and they work absolutely fine. Now i m back in Sweden and no way to return this phone in ATT store
Yes, I'm not blaming motorola, however, when this phone has a dual core processor then why is it still unable to do voip?
It was the similar problem with nexus one and nexus s that I had. I guess it's android then. They barely made the support for voip without tweaking it's performance. I never faced this problem with ios. I hate apple products because they are not open source but I can't stop my self from appreciating the good things in their os.

In the XDA Atrix subforum some where I found links to skype and that version of Skype works okay with Atrix (i dont say it works as good as it does on iPhone but bearable). Here is the link in case you didnt find it. I wish Nimbuzz works too.

Outside US not many ppl can use Qik for video chat and it doesnt support cross platform very well. Hence I stay away from the as much as possible. But I will check Qik and see if it works. Thanks.

Again, it's pretty obvious you just don't understand how this works. It's application specific support for the PHONE. There is nothing on the phone, Android or otherwise, that makes voip possible or not possible. It's all in the app itself. The new hardware hasn't been out for very long, so give the APPLICATION DEVELOPERS time to update their software to support the device. It's the same reason some games don't work on the Atrix yet. It's not because Motorola decided not to support the game, it's because the game doesn't yet support the device.
Please stop spreading misinformation.

No sir. Its pretty obvious YOU don't know how this works.
If every VOIP app on the market does not work ONLY on the the atrix, but works well on every other phone i tested, and even honeycomb - then there is a problem specific to the atrix and NOT the app itself.
If it is just one single app that does not work - then it is an app issue.
In our case, ALL the voip apps are not working because Motorola changed something in the way they are routing the audio and using the Android standard audio API's that those app need to work correctly. Any app that is trying to access the mic or the earpiece fails on this phone either with stuttering audio, crashes or static noise. it is like that with every single voip app and i tested them all.
The atrix is not running some new version of android that these apps just don't know how to support or there is a new android API...no...this is 2.2 we are talking about here and i don't see how each and every developer can fix his app just for the atrix.
The only way i see this getting resolved is by a firmware update from Motorola to fix what they have changed and get the phone to work with normal android standards.

You're halfway there, now put it all together.
The Atrix has a Tegra 2 chipset that does things differently than every other phone out there, correct. I bet you anything when a newer chipset comes out, we'll see the same cycle again. The reason it works on every other phone is because they're using established hardware. The Atrix is new, so it's up to Skype and Fring and whatever other VOIP apps out there to update their software to support the new hardware. Motorola patching in a hack to let it work with outdated architecture is the most stupid thing I've heard all day. The Atrix is unique right now, A LOT of developers will need to update their apps to support it.
BE PATIENT. Let developers update their apps to support the new hardware that's barely been out 2 weeks. Motorola doesn't need to do anything. App developers do.

its real simple,
Just install and select Wifi/Active Sync/3G Network,
then turn ur wifi on and sign into a hot-spot or ur local wifi,
then log into Skype and it would work, although i use my 3G data plan, as its unlimited xD

Just to confirm call recording works amazing as standard. I use callrecorder by skvalex and device is other, use standard android api and choose voice up link and downlink. Im getting really amazing call recording. No mods needed other than root of course. Im on an international version. Hope this helps someone.

There is no replacing this app. It can do ANYTHING you would ever need in a call recorder. To name some features:
I have my family in a "family group" in my contacts. Same with friends in "friends". You can go to exceptions and tell it to "never record x-group" and "always record" another group. It also has a manual over ride button so that you can start recording even if the person calling is in the "never record" group. So my recorder is setup so it automatically records everyone that is not in my "never record" group.
I love that app. Worth every penny IMHO.
I agree, it's worth every penny. Saved my ass once.

Yupp. It has saved me about $1.000 to date. What happens most of the time is we agree upon a price and they tell me another price when the work is done or when the product shows up. I tell them "no we agreed on $xxxx dollars.", they disagree, I show them the recorded call and they back down. Without this app it would be "I said, you said" and it would be a PITA to settle on something. It's such a nice app! Dollars, frustration and time saved! I would donate even more, but considering I gave the dev a tons of idea: exception list, movable recording button, "hide pause button if recording has started option" etc, that he incorporated to make the app it is today I feel I have done my part
Thank you. This is very good news indeed! I hope so will be in future)

Can you point me in the right direction on how to get their software? I am willing to pay för a solution that lets me record calls regardless if I am on blutooth, cabled headset, normal or speakerohone, preferably channel divided. Sound format doesn't matter as long as there somewhere is a converter for it.
My phone is rooted, native API seams to work on handset with or without speakerphone active, however not with headset. My phone is rooted.
I tried every single setting from the "Standard Android API preferences, but it did not work with bluetooth headset (Sony Smart Wireless). Only the incoming voice is being recorded.
Though I only use the note with bluetooth the app is useless for me.

That's what I use now, but no matter what the setting, it either records only my voice or the other person. Not both. I've tried this two different bluetooth headsets without luck: Motorola hx550 and jawbone icon.
