Video Chat

[Xxw0lfxX]

Seeing as Skype isn't ready yet, is there another app that will allow front-facing camera video chat?

I use Yahoo Messenger. There is the actual messenger and then the video plugin that are both in the market.

Looking to add to a thread for my question. So here we go....

Going away in a month with the wife and leaving the kids at home but want to video chat with them while we are away. Need to go Phone to PC. I know that the 2.3.4 will support video chat and I know that Skype is "coming soon" but as a backup plan if these are not out by then. What is your opinion? Is OOVOO working on the TB yet? BTW. Not rooted. Appreciate any help or insight you can give.

I will say that if your willing to install it, the leaked version of Skype worked really well using it phone to PC when I tested it with my daughter and there was almost zero lag.

Do I have to root my phone to install? If not, can you please let me know where I can find that. I will try it if it works. THXS

Clearsea is supposed to work with the Thunderbolt.

haha, um, looking at that first link---i like how the Thunderbolt now comes with a new Evo frame & Sprint branding

i might have to give this a try. Tango always sucked so much battery out of my phone (and seeing how battery life has never been a problem with the TB i was weary of it ) and Qik never looked great with resolution problems.

Download: Skype with Video on Android - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

No root required. You just have to allow install from unknown sources if you haven't already. Menu - Settings - Applications - Check next to Unknown sources. Then just open the downloaded .apk to install.

Fring and Qik work pretty good. Yahoo is also good for phone to pc. Tango has never worked for me.

actually he likes it---if not for the multi-tasking, for the fact that his phone is faster than his home network
seriously. he was blown away when i showed him my speedtest @ his house & it was almost double his network speed.

still a big learning curve for anyone coming from iPhone to Android, so i'm trying to remember i can't simply say "factory reset" without instructing him: homescreen-menu-settings--sd card--" or such

and it didn't help that the guy @ the vzw store entered his own gmail account to get the phone running so my brother had to wipe it two hours later when he signed into Talk & didn't recognize anyone so then i had to tell him the whole FactoryReset spiel to solve that problem.
i'm just glad he can finally use the phone for its biggest feature & not having to give him excuses about "well trust me, when the network is up--you'll love it"

thanks for asking!
