just use gtalk, tango or skype. lots of options. all are great.
Not sure what you mean by "standard video call" but without an app you wont get far. Tango, Skype, Yahoo, and Gtalk. They all work over 3G but Sprint's 3G is slower than a constipated turd so its better over wifi.

Video Call service is available from any operator of 3G mobile networks (not in the U.S. in my opinion). In addition to the button "call" for 3G phones should be a button "call with video." All Win Mobile devices with a front camera, symbian nokia phones and other 3G phones with front camera has support for video calls. Please watch these videos:

On Samsung Galaxy S youtube.com/watch?v=2lbpCJE1lcY

That's all pointless in the end. We don't all have the exact same phones. That's why Skype or other popular ones are best. Giving us more options. For every user on all devices.

Your own words I can say that Skype is pointless in the end. Because not all of my friends run Skype for the day. But 3g video call is a real replacement of traditional voice calls. If the subscriber does not support video call, then video call switches to traditional voice mode. Therefore, 3G video calls and video calls via Skype is a completely different services. sorry for my english

Trying to video call over Sprint's crappy 3g is pointless.

I've been using the Skype app modified to work on 3g with my Nexus for a while now, messages and voice both work fine for it. But when trying it on my Mytouch 4g, it can't log me in. Is anyone able to log in with Skype? And are there any decent Skype alternatives?
I tried Skype but it would only let me make video calls over wifi. Not 4g. I use Tango as my alternative most of my friends have it so it works out.

You can not make any video calls using skype on anyphone other than N900. so how come you are able to make them on MT4G
skype for MT4G will work over WIFI and 3G
This version of skype will work with any android phone over wifi and 3g, there is just one flaw, make sure you call the other person on skype as receiving calls on 3g would be charged by skype

I am curious as well. In the N900 you have options to call with ot without video. I have not seen that in any Android version of Skype. BTW, I think i heard someone mentioning that the thing from the fruit company has now a version of Skype that does video.
I don't understand why is taking Skype so long to release a video call version for other OSes. My N900 is over a year old and the video works quite well even when it is not WiFi.
I use skype everyday for (skype>skype) (skype>phone) and (phone>skype) and have no issue on wifi or data. Which version are you currently running that your having this problem on?
downloading now!
Hello.. My wife has a samsung galaxy s vibrant, with a front facing camera, when she opens the dialer, she has the option to click on video call for video. I just bought a motorola atrix and it does not have the same, and they tell me to use tango or another third party app. I am confused, does the atrix not support video calling through the cell phone network ? Whe she tried to video call me it fails...
Can someone clarify please.
You would need to be over wifi on the atrix. T-mobile is the only company that let's you do video calls with out wifi. Also, she uses what's called qik. If you don't have qik on the atrixs then you would need to use a 3rd party app such as tango. I believe through that specific app you both would need to be on wifi. Hope that helps.

Use Tango, QIK is just not as stable and it doesn't work well on the Vibrant FFC
You both should have a tango account (free) then you can open Tango and just call, It will take about 15-30 secs to make video connection after it hooks up in the call (Faster if both of you are on Wi-fi). Then talk away and oogle at your wife, girlfriend, pet Aardvark...etc. (assuming the Aardvark has a tango account too).
I use it quite a bit with my wife it is kinda cool. And, I solely use it over 3G and it works in my area pretty well without lag.
Hope that helped.
Thanks guys, But what does her phone use when she clicks video call instead of call when normally dialing a number in the default dialer? thats what I am trying to use with her, video over 3g, I pay 5$/month for video calling, but i dont think my motorola supports it. im trying to avoid 3rd party so i can use it without wifi, and without running up data..
I returned my atrix already and waiting for another galaxy S, not just because of video, I did not like motoblur, and also, for some odd reason, when i try to voice dial over bluetooth, I have to unlock the phone first.. which i find very stupid, i dont want to touch my phone when im using my headset.
Just to add, I did try tango, and I think its not supported on the atrix because it all worked, but the voice was so choppy it sounded like slow motion, video did work.
I also tried qik, but for some reason, It wont call my wife, says she doesnt have it, and she cant call me, for the same reason, altho we are both signed on..
Thanks guys.

you MAY want to try and check out/ talk in the Atrix section of this forum... We vibrant users may not know as much about the phone as the people who actually have it.
Ask them if there's a rom/app that would let you do video chats.
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this phone so I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but what is the "Video Call" option in the Contacts?
I've successfully had video chats through Google Talk (2.3.4) but when I try to call someone with a Nexus S using the Video Call option in their contacts, it makes a voice call. This friend's Google Talk/Gmail address are added to their contact in my phone.
So...what is this Video Call option supposed to do? It's not only for video calls between Galaxy S II's, is it??
If it matters I'm in the US, with the phone on AT&T's network.
Video call is supposed to make a 'video call' to any device that supports it, I've done it successfully with a different phone, haven't tried with my sgs2 yet, it's hard to find people that have front cameras and support video calls (eg. not iPhones, even though they have a front camera), also it's usually pretty expensive.
AT&T might have it disabled if it didn't work for you.
I tried numerous things that I can think of but when I dial out from Google Talk, it keeps asking for Mobile Carrier...
u tried using SIPdroid?
or cisp?
or?
Will GrooveIP work?

I'll have to look into those ones, I installed Tango video calling, and I can see the other callers video, but no mic or video on my end. I wasn't expecting it to work, and I'm ok with it not working just yet, hopefully it will get fixed when full release comes. Other than that, this thing rocks!

I used Groove IP to call my self, I could hear my first word, then it went dead. Def has potential in coming CM updates.
Same thing here
Gtalk with video - video works but no sound from to
Skyupe video - neither video nor audio work (audio seem to start OK)
Sipdroid setup with Google voice - calls go thru but no sound from tp

I used grooveIP with google voice disabling the 3g/4g option and also enabling google chat under GV settings. I was able to make a call but the sound was either delayed or not there. I can see this working with updated versions of CM. I can also receive calls but same sound issues.
I've tried sipdroid Cm7 but audio doesn't work.. Hopefully cm9 will be a different story.
i have before x 10 a lot of phones and i use video call from my network with sony ericsson T 715 and nokia E65...both phones have only back camera...any way to use network video call on android phones with back camera because it's working with skype and yahoo?
Check for the Tango app. It lets you use the back camera for video calls like Skype.
The official Yahoo Messenger can do this, tested.
