Can we not use gmail video chat to do face time?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
are you talking facetime as in apple? I think they only allow face time with other apple users
Well. You know how Google has a webcam video chat on gmail via webcam/laptop. Thunderbolt has front facing video camera. why couldn't we use gmail video chat on thunderbolt to talk to people on PC or laptop. Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Hmmmm... I wonder if the Honeycomb GTalk app would enable video chat... I'll try to decompile and fix for 2.2. First I need the apk...any links?

i have a xoom at work that we are testing, I will try to pull the .apk from google talk via titanium backup tomorrow since I have not rooted that device.
I was video chatting on my Xoom to my girlfriend the other night. I forget if it was the in the Talk app or not, pretty sure.
As far as "FaceTime", you can video chat with people using Tango and Yahoo Messenger for now, and Skype (with video calling) is coming soon.

I have definitely used video chat on my Xoom from the Talk app.
Let Google Know
I found a thread asking Google to please get video chat rolling here in the Google support forums.
Yeah I don't know if the Honeycomb GTalk app would just work on Froyo considering that GTalk is apparently heavily baked into a lot of Android features. But this would be an amazing feature. Maybe more people would finally start using GTalk too since it's hard to get my friends to kick their SMS addiction.

Use Tango
I use Tango. It's cross platform so you can video chat from Android to iPhone.
Skype still doesn't support video for Android but they are working on it.

Tango works on the Atrix and iPhone 4, my wife and I use it. I do not believe any other video chat app will currently work cross platform with the Atrix.

I know we had the fix before but after the mandatory update of y! messenger it no longer works... I was wondering if anybody has an updated fix?
Since I've gotten my thunderbolt I haven't been able to successfully video chat using any applications. And I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if it was just me

I'm using Qik on CM7.
The only issue it has is the fact that the other party sees me upside down.
Thanks for the response im guessing that means the problem is with all thunderbolts

The leaked version of Skype worked alright on mine
Tango works ok with crappy quality with iBoners and an atrix
Sent from my ADR6400L
has anybody used the new fring group chat or qik app? how are those working?
The leaked Skype works great, sound is alot better than Tango. Also the Skype works with Bluetooth which I could never get with Tango. I just can't get it to work on CM7, but I just got gTalk to work on CM7. Haven't been able to test it out but it installs and says I'm avaliable for audio and video chat. Ill update once I get home and check tho.
(Edit-- well gTalk looked good, but it was force-close city and no video. Tried clearing cache and fix permissions, but still no go. Back to Dad BAMF and Skype video for now, I guess.)

You know there was also a similar problem worth the xoom. You may want to look at how they got gtalk to work.
Yep, the leaked Skype is probably one of the best options at the moment, until we get Google's upcoming video chat, at least.
Yahoo messenger is where its at

I didnt think the leaked version of Skype was secure.
In this article on Droid-Life, it specifically states: "NO, the leaked Skype with video has not been fixed."
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/04/2...y-vulnerabilities-fixed-3g-calling-tossed-in/
So, is it safe to be using the leaked version?
Qik, skype, fring, tango, yahoo messenger - pick your poison. They all work

its fine as long as you dont go downloading malicious apps from the internet. be smart and youll be ok.
I'm going away for a month and would like to video chat with my wife and baby via my Thunderbolt to her laptop.
I have the Tango app installed, but there is no version that is available for a computer. We all know Skype doesn't support video on our Thunderbolts...yet.
What can I use? Am I missing something?
There is a leaked version of Skype that works well on froyo. Qik is also decent. I also have used oovoo and its quite good on my thunderbolt.

Fring maybe? Never tried it myself but heard good things about it.

Many things show up as incompatible. You need to side-load the apk.

There was a working tutorial for fring around here. I'll see if I can find it.

Fring & Skype Test AIT 101
I've tested the newest Versions of Skype and Fring. Only Fring has shown video, and that was in a testing scenario.
Fring-The feed appeared choppy and laggy.
Sype-Other person in the call(which i attempted repeatedly to make VideoChat from both ends) could hear me perfectly aside from the echo from the speakers(just add headphones) but I wasn't visible, and neither was he.
Archos IT 101
Try SipDroid VideoSMS
Yahoo Messenger with Video plugin works.
Have you tried reelportal? It uses Adobe Air. I tried it on my phone, but I can't remember if I tried it on the Archos (which I don't have available right now to check). It's a bit different from most other options, but it does let you video chat to PCs.

Fring
YahooMessenger with Video Plugin
Skype
One of the reasons why I bought this device was for its front facing camera and purported Video Chat capability. Being that this device uses the Google Android OS, I assumed that Google Video Chat was possible. However, this is not the case and I have been patiently waiting for a software update to enable to this function. Do you know if anything is in the works? And if not, why wouldn't this device be eligible for Google Video Chat?
I had the same problem. Ended up using tango and it works.

Google video chat support is hit or miss in gingerbread. Try Talk 1.3 Installer on the market, needs root but be warned it can be flaky.
