You can now video chat on certain phones (Nexus S included)!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skype.raider&feature=search_result

Anyone got this working ?
Just downloaded it, and video doesn't seem to be working on my phone.
But neither does Gmail push, but thats another story...
Can anyone confirm it working ?

Apparently the apk has been hacked to work on some other phones apart form the official ones.
Anyone know how to hack this for the NS4G ??

Dunno about anyone else, but update 2.0.0.47 STILL does NOT give me video calling on my Nexus S 4G on Sprint.

Same. If you have a backup of a stock ROM try it on that.

I tried today and it worked very well!

I can confirm NS4G working with this version. Market version does not work. I'm on CM7.1 nightly 39 with netarchys 1.3.5 cfn. However, I HAD to lower it to 1300 MHz. 1400 MHz will freeze video after 5 sec. Just like gtalk video.

This worked for me too on my NS4G...only have tried to a MacBook though so far.

Just tried this out today and the quality was terrible both sending and receiving. Anyone have different results?

Working great for me!! What I noticed though...is my buddy installed tango on his iTouch. I had to make sure the email he registered with was in my contact list. Than Tango automatically showed me he was available for a call. 3g was great!
My xoom has a phone number so maybe i can try that one.
I was able to connect but the person on the other end was upside down....any fix?
Edit: nevermind, the issue was on the other persons end.

Google Talk video chat

I just got my 2.3.4 update and I'm kinda excited about the ability to do the video chat straight from the phone. Unfortunately I do not have many Google savvy friends, much less ones that own a Nexus S. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about testing this new feature. I was thinking about just getting with some users of this forum and swapping info to check this feature out. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

I tried it with my brother on 3G, and it worked smoothly. However he was using Gmail chat on his laptop when we tried this feature. So i'm yet to use it between Nexus to Nexus.
I hear that T-Mobile doesn't allow gtalk video chat on their network, not sure though.
I'm using the Nexus S with T-Mobile and doesn't look like we could use GTalk with 3G yet, only through WiFi.

Tango Works!
Have any of you tried the Tango app? It does video calling with front and rear cameras. Works perfectly, when I tested it between my brothers iPod Touch and my LG REVO.
yup I have Tango.. used it a couple times. works great thought the quality isnt so good on 3G..

Update the app...go into settings, it shows it's only for the back facing camera. Tango is the only app that utilizes Revo's FFC right now. That is until it gets 2.3 and I believe Google standardized the FFC API, thus making it easier for devs to program for it.

Yeah your right my bad. O well I wouldn't use Skype anyways it will absolutely decimate your battery since its always running in case you get a call. After uninstalling I literally get 4 extra hours of battery life and that's without even using Skype once(just letting it run in the background. I can only imagine how bad it would kill the battery if I actually made calls with it

Links or gtfo. The hardware is there (independent GPU), and the power is there (dual-core CPU, 512mb RAM) for ICS but this has been a pipe dream at best, please don't get our hopes up with more rumors. If you have a link, please SOS (Save Our Sanity) and post it.

LOL. I would do the same as you (Ask for a step by step.) however, T-Mobile gets crap for reception in my town. It's not even 2G in my town, so no point in using it. AT&T in my area just recently upgraded to HSPA+. There is no 4G LTE (Even for Sprint or Verizon.)

AT&T is the only carrier in my town, for some reason that has 3G or HSPA+ coverage.
It's how backwoods my town is.
I myself am connected to HSPA+. When I was on Sprint and had my Evo 4G, I had to go to Boston (Over an hour drive) to be able to test it out. Otherwise I'd get about 600 KBPS or so download.

Got working 3G on google edition

Okay guys . After a day of messing around with this Google Edition I finally got fully working data . I was wondering if anyone could tell me the direction to get the roaming indicator off . I'm up loading it to dropbox right not and its taking forever . So if you have suggestions for a different file sharing please let me know.
Did you port this from Verizon's port or the International?
I booted up the Verizon port and have working LTE right out of the gate. Good job on messing around with it. I just wish we had the 4.3 version... Beggars can't be choosers though.

I would love to use the Google version if everything checked out ok. I am not one to tinker with it. But the idea of no bloatware has me almost there... So if anyone figures out how to get it work with no issues that would be great. Where I live we only get 3g so anything above that wont matter to me. Good work btw to you guys who figure this stuff out. Many Thanks :laugh::good:

I downloaded an app called "Lte on off" on that app I change the preferred network mode to Cdma/lte auto prl. If at firat it doesn't work try switching it to another and then back to that. It takes a minuter to kick in. I also had mobile data disabled while I did it and then enabled it, don't know if that made a difference.
