Hi,
Does anybody knows a good skype client that works over wifi?
I found one on appbrain. But when installing it could't find the app.
Thanks in advance.

There is also Fringe application. But recently they had to delete Skype support so it's rather a substitute to skype and you cannot connect to skype friends via Fringe.
I found an app which is called Skype(beta).apk and seems to work fine.Is it legal to attach the file to the post?
You can grab a beta at bananalex(dot)com - works great on my Wildfire.. smooth
Skype beta is only for chat, no voip!
Does Nimbuzz work fine?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Nimbuzz works quite well, even if there is lag sometime..
but audio and chattin are ok!
Obvioulsy, it isn't Skype.. but it could be a good 'temporary' replacement!
I found an app which is called truphone and seems to work fine...
Hy all.I have me too nimbuzz on my wildfire because i want to use skipe but i cannot heard anything....i just can respond or call but no sound...i need to do some special settings or something?Please responde via PM because is kind difficult to find againt this threat and i dont have too much time due the university.Tnx a lot and sorry for disturb
I have the same problem as carter. Nimbuzz works, I can dial and call other skype users, but there's either no sound during the call, or there's a severe lag even on wifi. But chatting works great on Nimbuzz.

Anyone else having problems signing in? I put in my details, press sign in, accept the licence agreement and then it says "signing in", then after a few seconds I'm back at the login screen again.

I can sign in alright .. if I place call on speakerphone it is decent but when I put it on my ear something is happening with the proximity sensor and the quality is really bad.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Confirmed to work, but the Windows app is a resource hog. Tested with a Netbook. Cpu maxed at 100% soon as app opens. I guess make sure you use a real pc or a good laptop.
ooVoo works pretty good too with front camera support for streak. Mobile2pc and mobile2mobile . Free to use no trails. Ill stick with ooVoo until something better comes around.
Your right,the oovoo is best,but what rom are you on,I could only see the rear cam on Dell streak.....not the front facing cam when I was using ooVoo
After I have installed the ooVoo, my Dell Streak started to sync contineously but I do not know what is it sycronizing. Don't you have this problem?

There is a setting to make front camera as default. You can alos change camera during a video call.

Not really sure what you mean. When u logon it will sync your account. Sometimes it freaks out and you may need restart phone. Running stock 318 2.2 with perfmod. Overall best video app for streak. Not hard since only these 2 work.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Just installed Oovoo. Running 318 stock. No issues so far. Front camera worked right away without having to change any settings. I hope they get this working through msn. I doubt my contacts will all jump on Oovoo. This is very cool. Thanks for the tip.
I just wish they made a skype video call app, skype is where its at

Guys, I know people are having trouble with Skype on Atrix where the microphone sound is distorted and extremely noisy. I have figured that this is not limited to Skype but all VOIP apps! May I know any fix or if Motorola will have the software fix for that?
Please I really need to use Skype everyday because my family are oversea.

No its not working. It's been discussed in Motorola forum but I just want more people to know before buying Attic and see will there be quick fix from this community.
Maybe this will help.. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
It is an "unlocked" version of Skype, I think originally for Verizon. With this unlocked apk you can also place calls on 3G. Others have reported this working on the Atrix. I have it on mine but being new to Skype I have not yet tried it properly. You do not need root but since att blocks non-market apps you will need to "sideload" it. I prefer Android Centrals Sideload Wonder Machine: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine

This is another huge reason I don't like about Android's fragmentation.
It seems like Qik is the only app that supports VOIP correctly. But most of my contacts are skype and Google. Gosh...

Fring updated their app to support the Atrix! The update is not yet on the market, but you can get it by following the links.. Heres the story: http://www.androidcentral.com/fring-updates-video-calling-app-support-moto-atrix-and-dell-streak
Let us know how it works I haven't had time to test it.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem in voip atrix? I tested with SBF Retail in Brazil and to the SBF operator course .... and pick out the same problem occurs. I used to test a wifi 10MB.
Regards,
I'm pretty disappointed with the iphone 4s announcement, because that's what I was going to get my wife. Its very important for her to video chat with her sister and family who lives 10 hours away. I currently have the atrix which never plays nice when it comes to video chat with iphone users, so I want to know if anyone has had success with video chat particularly with iphone users or even Skype?
Thanks.
May not be the same, but I've been able to video chat using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with an iPad 2 using Google Talk.
Im pretty sure skype should work, as well as tango, and apparently google talk, I really doubt video chatting should be an issue at all

I can confirm all work. You have to make sure you have the newest Skype and enable it
Tango should work too
Skype, Qik, and Tango, tested them all with my wife's iPhone 4.

Fring also works well.
I tested Skype on S2 with iphone 4 and an HP Touchpad, they all work together well.
Better than it did with my Atrix although it did still work with the latest version of skype on the Atrix.
I use skype daily to video chat with my daughter while on the road.
For Skype video calls to work, do the following:
1- Download the latest version.
2- Sign in.
3- Settings
4- Scroll all the way down and you'll see various options... most importantly the option to "Enable video calling"
5- The Skype app might need a restart... so sign off, and sign back in.
Speaking of Skype, I have the latest version but noticed that it drains the battery noticeably (even when not using it). Anyone else is having the same issue?

Out of these 3, which one seems to work better... or is better preferred?
Edit: Does anyone have a working version of Gtalk that works with video?
The only good video chat apps are tango and gtalk cause they don't kill battery when not in use I have found

Gtalk works best for me.

Skype is best. Gtalk is good too. For Gtalk video, there's an optional flashable zip file of it that has the video-calling enabled version. Works like a charm.

Its usually an optional add-on in the Rom Manager app (like the Gapps zip) that you check off, and it'll flash itself with the rom... but I looked around and found you the .zip file that you can successfully flash yourself. Hopefully it works.

There's no need to flash anything to get video calling on Att sgs2 by gtalk. It's included.

Yeah, Red5, only flash if you have a custom rom that doesn't have the video-calling compatible Google Talk app. Sorry, I assumed you would be on CM7, not stock and what not :s

Oh, I thought that was the CWM fix to enable Gtalk over 3G instead of being locked to wifi only. Id like to be able to use Gtalk over 3G too.
Just as the title says. Wife and I try to video chat, can only see our own video showing in the corner. Have tried on 3g 4g and wifi with all the same result. No errors, just can't see the other persons video. Also tried this with multiple phones that support it with the same result. Any ideas?

my brother and I frequently do it; he has a droid 3 and i've got the rezound. thing is, the quality is utter **** and just never works well.....then again, maybe that's because he's out in wyoming, but who knows. skype was a little better for us, though
I have 2 Rezounds, video chat works on both with GTalk and Skype.

Hmm, skype video chat does work. Even does pretty good with the iPhone that a buddy has. This is just odd now....
Haven't tried skype but gtalk and tango are working fine.
I have tried Skype, Talk, and Google+ Hangout from my Rezound to a Rezound/Bionic/DInc2 and all of them work flawlessly. Not always best video quality, but they all work. Check your settings that you are actually sending video.
can you tell any us anymore information? was this over wifi? did you hear any audio? etc?
So I'm actually having this problem too.
I start google talk on the droid 3, click on the video icon next to somebody's name that supports vid chat. Screen goes black for a split second, then returns to the google talk contacts screen.
Interestingly, google hangout with google+ works great. As do tango and skype.
I'll post logcat output here in a bit.....

Did you happen to try skype video while on an ics rom? Or were you on GB?
attached are logs that (i think) show the crash

GB, but I just noticed that this thread is for Rezound. I'm on hitting this on Droid3, so not only have I resurrected a dead thread, but I've accidentally hijacked a thread in the wrong forum too.
sorry.
(wonder if any info is usable from the logs?)
