[Q] Any Video Call on Motorola Atrix - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Qik calling on Dell Streak?

So I was just on the tmobile site looking at the Streak 7 and while reading the description it said
Talk Live with T-Mobile® Video chat powered by Qik™ with front and rear-facing cameras
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then saw this after a quick google
Today we are introducing an exciting new version of Qik Video, which will be available on the new Sprint HTC EVO 4G. Qik Video brings a powerful set of video capabilities to your mobile phone so you can share and experience events as they happen, even if you can’t be there. With Qik, you can attend a meeting across the country and feel like you are truly there, watch your child’s performance LIVE on your mobile phone, or pick up a video mail message from a friend who wants to share an exciting adventure.

I tried looking on the android market, but the version on there doesn't have a video calling feature. Is there an .apk for it floating around?
I really want to try this as it has much more features (and better quality possibly) than Fring.
floating around right here....
just hit thanks button!
Thanks!
But this doesn't have the video call option?
probably not for us streakers... sorry.
email the Qik team and tell em to get going with an update damnit.
We should send them a bunch. Video calling in the states is lagging SO far behind the UK.
I hope someone develops an IM program that supports the streaks FFC too. The yahoo apps webcam support is a joke. I was getting like 1 frame/5 seconds and at really low res

Fring? have you tried that?
Sorry I should have specified, an IM program that supports video calling to other IM services on the computer (AIM, YAHOO, MSN, etc.) I have fring for video calling already

[Q] *Dumb questions* Battery and Video Chat help

I got the Atrix 4G this morning (Feb. 21) and since I've had Android I have always wanted to know what the best way to save battery power is. Any help?
Also me and my friend like to video chat. I used to use Tango on my Captivate and it doesn't work on the Atrix (it keeps crashing). My friend is using a different Android device and I wanted to know if there was any good video chat/call apps that work well and aren't a pain to use.
If anyone could help that would be very nice.
try using qik there's a version specific for the atrix out there
have you tried skype?

My Skype has no video chat option. Fring is supposed to though.
What about yahoo messenger? It is supposed to have video chat but I have not tried it.
Go with TANGO. IMHO

I have tried Tango, but it keeps ending the call when I turn on video.

I can confirm that Tango also doesn't work for me. It crashes out quickly.
I don't want to have to sign up with qik for video chat. I was under the impression Tango worked better.

QIK is the only one that worked for me so far. But it was terrible quality no where near as good as face time

Working video chat?

Has anyone found a video chat app that works??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
no not yet ... im new to this htc/droid stuff but im thinking they need to update all the apps for our phone .
i use yahoo messenger and it works ok
tango works and supposedly skype
Tango worked for me
I successfully used Tango with an iPhone user, but none of the other solutions worked.
I assumed Google Talk would work, but boy, was I wrong. I am almost a bit appalled that it was not ready, especially with no Skype. At least Skype was clear that they are working on something. Hopefully they will launch that for the Xoom at the same time.
Oovoo was an utter failure for me. Used the rear camera only and no sound.
Fring did not utilize video for Google Talk or MSN Messneger, so I didn't really try it.
I think if there is egg on Verizon's face, it is over not having a video chat service working for us.
i use tango, works pretty well, but for some reason get a screeching noise when tango'ing with another thunderbolt
Tango works for me. I was also able to make a video chat with a iphone that also had tango installed.

yeah what is up with that. Tango with iphone users work fine but with another thunderbolt and the audio doesnt work at all and makes crazy skreetching noises then mute.. kinda weird.

[Q] Skype "Support"?

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.)

Video Chat apps work in USA??

Hi guys, I'm interested in the GS2. Which video chat apps are confirmed/tested?
I normally use Tango, sometimes Qik, or Fring. I'll appreciate all feedback
Any Galaxy S 2 owners can test this for me?
when I got my SGS2 yesterday, I decided to also test the video chat.
Then I realized I have not a single friend I could call with an Android video phone.
And my iPhone friends do not use third party video chat apps.
Is there any app that would be able to call iPhone Face Time client? Probably no.
fring or tango should work for video calls.
btw, there's no android app to call factime...
