So you know our phones comes with Qik Video Chat. Has anyone used this app? I don't have any friends that have it so I don't know if the picture is in the correct orientation.
Has anyone used other apps like Tango? I tried using Tango with my brother and the orientation is wrong at his end.
So my main question is for those that are using Qik Video Chat. Is the orientation correct on the receiving party's end or is it wrong like with Tango that I'm experiencing with other people?
UNRELEASED UPDATE FOR QIK HERE!!!X.
Yes my wife and I used Qik and it look good, just a little laggy.
Qik
I have not been able to use mine yet. i dont have any friends who have a front faceing camera yet. So right now its a waste of space for me. My girlfriend has a fasinate and she thought, and was told it had a front cam on it but we found out it did not....

I've used Qik - its clear and it does lag. The only thing Im not too happy about is when using any other app such as Tango or Fring u can not utilize the face front camera. Use have to use the camera on the back which sucks. If I had to do that I would've kept my Vibrant. I was told that there may be an update coming out to correct that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Tango is ok but if I had to choose I would use qik or fring.

What sucks is that you still have to use the rear camera. It won't let you use the face front. I don't want to have to turn my phone around so the other person can see me.....I hope they come out with a update for it. If not Im going to have to get rid of this....I already rooted it and unlocked it....

Update your tango app -- then click the icon at the top right hand corner of your screen and it will rotate from Front to Back

QIK Force close

Could you maybe post that apk here? Just back it up with Titanium Backup then upload the apk.
ooVoo, is the best as far as I am concerned. I video chat for hours, and have used Tango, ooVoo, and qik. ooVoo has the best audio quality, video is good also. Tango, has good video quality audio is not so good. And qik. ok. oovoo is the best, you can chat phone to phone and phone to pc.
Qik won't let me switch to the front camera. It says switched to front, but it's not.

Does anyone know of a fix for this issue. Fring only uses the rear camera on the GS4G. I don't know if any of the previous fixes for galaxy s phones will fix this problem or not. Insight?
I get the same issue when trying to use yahoo messenger and oovoo so far the only way to use the ffc to video chat is with qik which sucks but hopefully a developer will make a rom with this fix out hopefully samsung their self will fix the issue

Tango works with FFC but the receiving end shows the video vertical instead of horizontal or vice versa.

I got the same result.
I used oovoo and qik. They both used the ffc. I haven't tried fring or yahoo chat. But I will tonite after work
getting the same result with the Thunderbolt
From the looks of it its a software based problem. Looks like were gonna have to wait till they update it to support whichever camera is in the front (hardware wise)
I used tango yesterday and it worked fine

I never could get my ffc to work on tango. I think its a conspiracy to get tmo customers to use qik.

We are aware of the front facing camera issue on the G2X. We just received our G2X in to the office yesterday and will start performing tests on it as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that we will be able to fix the issue soon!
It's a new phone, wait for an update. This is common with new Android phones.

Ffc didn't work on tango for my g2x only showed back camera. But when I use qik it kept force closing everytime I would answer a call. Qik works on my Mytouch 4g fine but on tango the ffc view would transmit it upside down to my g2x when I did a video chat Test.

U guys know any? I've tried skype, fring, yahoo messenger, and none of those can use the front facing camera. I didn't try qik cuz I think it's for android only. Tango looks weird, I don't have a screen name and don't know how to add a friend, so I don't know if it works or not.

check the last post. Tango has a beta for G2x which allows us to use our FFC. I just made a call with my gf's iphone and it works.
Fring and Qik
Qik works, I didn't know it's available for iphone too. It's kinda slow though, even if both phones r on wifi. Fring didn't detect the front facing camera.
Thank you guys for ur help

Yep, used tango today to an iPhone, no problem
Tango
Tango works fine between my G2X and my wife's iPhone 4.
I like Tango over some of the others because it doesn't require setting a username and password. It's based on your phone number. Makes it easier to manage imo.
Can anyone get the front camera to work on fring because i cant seem to make it work for video chat

Tango's front cam doesnt work properly, it shows it sideways and zoomed.
I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.
"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:
- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that
- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.

if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.
Use Qik Video Connect.
So Qik is the only option? Does that work for video chat to a computer or iphone?

I wish that was in English, I'm pretty sure there was something important in it somewhere.
Just tested Qik. Called my friend who was using an Atrix 4g. The call was great. It used the right camera on the Infuse 4g. Love the app now.
Im basically the odd one out in family using non iphone4. They using fring flawlessly but i just cant get the feont cam to work, otherwise the sound and back camera is great quality. Just d/loaded qip and hope it'll work.

I tried the Skype version linked above and on wifi, it worked great. Haven't tried it yet on 3G.
Have not tried Google
Skype work great for chat/calls, but video chat uses only the back camera for now till GB is out
If your going from mobile to mobile use Tango, it works flawlessly, and works with both cameras
Also qik video didn't fail me either

G talk works but the front facing camera sends your video feed horizontal when our should be verticle.
Qik seems to work the best for me although the speaker volume is low. I use my ear buds and the volume is usable.

Once GTG recovers from burnout, his Rogers-based GB ROM (which runs on AT&T phones) should become available again.
