I've just seen my mate do a video call with Samsung Galaxy S (UK)
This is NOT using an app like Qik or Fring.
He selected the number from his contacts list and clicked on Video Call.
I was previously led to believe Android does not currently support video calling?
I wonder how samsung implemented this and whether it can be done on other Devices with front-facing cameras
Now that IS interesting....please let it be something we can port over to other android phones...that would be awesome!
Hi all,
Linuxbozo did a fabulos job of taking the samsung galaxy s rom in samsung infuse but i am still confused whether it dials video calling or it is just an option?? coz when i try it connects as video call but the other number doesnot have video calling on phone so i end up looking my face on screen.
This should be in the general section.

Video calling is a feature added with Android gingerbread 2.3.4 I believe unless its 2.3.5, regardless we don't have it on the streak yet except through apps and there is no reason this should have been posted in the development section.

A video link was posted in one of the threads here, in which the presenter said that the SGSII "supports" Skype.
Was that a dumb person's way of saying it has a fraont facing camera? Or has anyone actually ready anything specific about the SGSII coming preloaded with Skype?
Just wondering...
I hope it has video enabled Skype preloaded... but probably it won't have.
Most probably the woman in the video had no technical skills at all and just said that because it has a front facing camera... we'll see.
In either case, Skype is available via the market place, does it not support front facing camera?
I don't own a Android device as of yet so do not know. Can anyone confirm?

Skype is available in the Android Market, however there isn't a video-call support for Skype as of now, on Android.
There are a few videos/articles floating about that there's a version of Skype designed specifically for the HTC Thunderbolt that supports video calling over 3G/4G.
Perhaps that's what the person would be referring to? That the particular version of Skype for video calling could also come with the S II. Anyway this part's just my speculation.
Thats BS, I use Skype on the iPhone to do a low of video calling with my clients, it would suck if I cannot do that any longer.
What a turn off.
Going to bump this, anyone tried installing skype on the new S2 to see if video works?
someone from my local forum said that Fring has video support for sgs2
I have skype installed. It doesn't appear to have a video call option.

I can confirm that, no video support in Skype it seems.
just audio calls on skype, no video option maybe soon in update?
Skype's days are numbered one way or the other ... or do you really think Microsoft is going to offer a competitive Android client? (Would be a first, that one.)
Hi guys, i'm pretty familar with most of the ROMS available for the G-Tab and so far between calks, vegan 5.1.1, vegan ginerbread, and CM7 all have not supported the popular Tango app that i use on my epic 4g when I want to video chat with my family. Does anyone know of an app that is compatible with the G Tablet that allows you to video conference with other android phones or Iphones?
ReelPortal - good try for the developers but just wasn't on par with Tango
Qik- haven't tried but is it really working on all Roms? or just some
Yahoo Messenger- Supposedly this works but does anyone know if you can chat with Iphone 4 users?
If you have been able to get Tango to work, did you #1 have to edit your build.prop in the market fix to call other users?
#2 which rom are you using?
#3 Is the video still sideways as reported in a thread back in December?
I am from Singapore, and my Atrix cannot video call.
What about sets from other part of the world ?
Not through my carrier, but if I use Fring or Tango then I'm able to video call.

I'm in the u.s.. tango, fring, and Qik all work video calling on my Atrix. Qik has a specific version just for the Atrix that works pretty well. All those apps are free. I'm also on at&t by the way also. supposedly yahoo video chat works also but haven't tested that one yet. The first 3, I know works, and pretty well at that.
+1 for Tango.
Tango is the best one out there imho.
Those are all great for phone-to-phone, but unfortunately only Yahoo Messenger works for phone-to-computer chat. I personally dislike Yahoo, but they have a monopoly on this crucial function for the time being.

i use yahoo since everyone else i talk to doesn't have video calling on their phone. it's ok but the others mentioned earlier might be better for calling from phone to phone.
Try the new skype version

This statement is incorrect. Did you read the thread? Does Tango, Fring & Qik not work in your country!? Because here in America: Atrix make video calls!
Atrix calls to PC
Anybody tried Vtok?

it's not a videocall - it's app-to-app call with videofunctionality, but the author asked exactly about videocall - it's a 3g operator function. I wish atrix had it, likeall normal devices.
But as far as i know - there is no such function at all for android

yeah it works. download or update it from the market. then when you boot skype up, go into settings and scroll down until you see enable video calls (or something like that) and enable it. you now have video.

Although the phone has no front facing camera, I have attempted to use yahoo messenger and video feed was showing on screen but I'm not sure it I had connected, if live feed would of worked..than again if it does work the only thing is the user on the other side of the conversation only sees what's behind the users reach
