Skype released an update today that released video calling to some devices.
"- Two way video calling is supported on the following handsets: Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro."
Is it possible to change some strings in the app to allow the video calling to work on other devices like the tab 10.1?

Tried it on mine, but couldn't sign in. Your mileage may vary.
Tried it on mine but the app just closes down when trying to sign in.
At sign in the app crashes and takes me back to home....
I got the Skype app from the Xoom forums and it works on my tab. Thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148715

I am sure it checks the type of Device you are using to provide or deny access to the Video chat feature. Until Someone can Bypass that check we will have to continue to use it as it is.
just tried the xoom skype and it doesnt work. hope someone can get it to work!
doesnt work on galaxy tab 7' gingerbread.. too bad.
Yeah, I never got a chance to test the video chat. Being able to log in is progress though.

I am dying to have a functional Skype on the GT. I have a friend in Japan who I Skype with and another in the Philippines who I'll probably Skype with soon. It would be phenomenal to have it.
One friend of mine has video chat with GoogleChat on his SGT and said the person on the other end could barely hear them. Said he uninstalled and reinstalled, but could not get the volume out to any respectable level.
I'm hoping that's a software issue and not a terribad microphone.

Hey!
Can you tell us (or at least me) how you got it to work, because your version and the other version (45) both auto close when I try to login. I'm totally clueless.
Please reply
I don't believe it works on the galaxy tab. It works on my Galaxy S. The Tegra processor doesn't include the NEON extensions, which are used in the binary, thus it exits right away.
There is lots more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285

These are two things I could never do on my vibrant, so I'm always taking my wifes iphone to do to do them. Will the s2 be capable of this. Dont want an iphone but these are pretty big for me.
My galaxy s could open pdf just fine using think free office, (which came pre installed from samsung) but was also freely available in the market.
The sgs2 comes with polaris office, which works just as well.
Hmmm my problem was emails mostly, I could never open the attachments, does it work for that
Automatically, I click on preview attachment button, it downloads it and then up pops think free to view the attachment.

you click the attachment, it downloads and opens with your pdf viewing app. You can do that with any android phone that supports to app to my knowledge
No Netflix I'm afraid and I doubt it'll be coming any time soon as Qualcomm have it as an exclusive for their snapdragon handsets which is allegedly because of DRM.

why would netflix do that.. right now the only thing stopping me from getting a netflix account is that i cant use it on my phone..isnt there some sort of port for it to work on regular phones?
Adobe reader works just fine for PDF files. and its free. Download from the market place.

That's because you didn't read the previous threads very well.
You installed version 2.0.0.47
The verison that supports video calling for EVO 3D ( Hacked version) is 2.0.0.45. If you update to version 2.0.0.47 you can NO LONGER use video calling on the EvO 3D because it's not officially supported yet.
Skype sucks.
uninstall 47 on Evo3D...video now works
I had (apparently) updated skype to .47 I used market to uninstall, then installed the downloaded .45 version.
When I ran that version it got to the login point and said I had to reinstall skype...
I realized that the original skype client was still running in the background.
I used Task Manager, looked at all running services, and stopped it there.
I then again tried to install the download, this time it took and logged me in.
Then it showed contacts and had an icon if video was available.
So I clicked on this laptop, and boom skype video over wifi!
Then I turned off wifi and tried again...it was obviously slower and choppier and skype complained, but it did show the two way video!
Thanks to all involved!
Skype and 3D
Can someone confirm if the EVO 3D can send 3D video using skype (if both side got a 3D smartphone) ?
I would say no, and even if it could it would force you to use the two cameras on the back. You can't do 3d video with one lense, so with both parties pointing the back two cameras at themselves how would you see what's on the screen?
Hello Today i rooted my device and i see over at modaco there was a apk for install video calls on talk with android 2.3.3 and i tried to indtall it and now i have video calling on talk with mini pro....

wow 76 people have looked at the thread and nobody have say something ;-)
I'd love to try but the official update isn't far away and I think to root the sk17i you will need to unlock the bootloader which in turn disables DRM content (affects track ID which I use often).
I have installed it in my device and it works pefectly. Tq.

It works for either voice and video chat on my Arc 2.3.3.
I wonder that if this also works on "Arc S" with Android 2.3.4 (no video/voice function on the original GTalk)

Hello all,
I have searched all the forum and also installed more than 10 different Netflix versions, but apparently none of them seems to work with the Sony S Tablet...
Does someone have installed and is currently running Netflix on the Sony S Tablet?
Thanks for help!
I want to install netflix as well.... but I cant
They install but video does not start. The only hope is Netflix app fix or rooting the device to add the required video library. Hope it helps

You can watch Netflix (and Hulu) through PlayOn Mobile while you wait.
I have not tried it on tablet but find playon so slow to browse on everything and missing search. Maybe i shall give it another shot. Do they provide a free version allowing netflix or hulu? Thanks

Doesn't matter, cancelling my account after the rate hikes. Lets hope that Sony's video unlimited can compete.
Getting the same issue. Just got rid of my Dell Streak 7 which had Netflix working. I guess I'll just have to get my Netlix fix through my iphone until the app becomes available.
Is Netflix trying to put themselves out of business?
actually there is already a Netflix app working for the sony tablet.. it is just going through the corporate bullsh*ts for approvals.. if only they could leak the apk.. lol.. pretty sure it will be out soon..

is there anyway to get videocall on my xperia 10 e10i mini ?
There is no front camera so, no you can't.
Although I read there are some apps that do videocall from back camera...
Although then it's no videocall anymore you can't look at the screen and be on the camera at the same time.
In theory, we can use the mirror, but that may be strange.

Hi, omarof 1
Now I found some apk for video calls, they said can "switch to the back camera to show what’s around you".
But I'm not tried yet so I don't know about another more details.
And I don't know it can be worked on X10 mini.
However if you're interested in it, see the link at below
Tango Video Calls v1.6.7596 free software Android apps
[Use the front camera to show yourself or switch to the back camera to show what’s around you- You can easily switch between audio and video during a single call- Simple and easy to use]
i've download tango but can anyone test the video call with me
