Video Calling Apps For Nexus S

[JAshworth03]

Has anyone found any video calling apps for the Nexus S? Qik & Fring both don't support the S's front facing camera. I know they will update just wanted to see if anyone else had any solutions.

Probably Google talk.

The Yahoo chat app has video now. Also have you tried an app called tango this was my personal fav it also works across platforms it lets you video chat with iphone 4 users... And tell them how much their phone sucks

All of them work pretty well. I've heard rave reviews about Tango, but it doesn't support the front facing camera yet. I hate waiting. I had to wait long enough for the damn phone!

Hey BiGMERF, were you able to get the front facing camera working on Fring? I'm trying it, but no luck on getting it to work.

i tried tango but the front camera doesnt work and you have to pay fro fringeb and skype quik doesnt work yet either

I've tried tango, qik, and yahoo. So far I can't get any of them to work with the front camera. I am hoping one of them works soon because my daughter wants to be able to do video chat with me.

I have tried Qik, Fring, Yahoo Messenger, and Tango. All of them work with the rear camera except for Qik which force closes; none of them allow you to switch to the FFC. All the developers have been contacted and promise to resolve it as soon as possible. Until then, we just have to wait for app updates in the market. Apparently Google is working on integrating video into Google Talk but we'll not see this feature until Honeycomb (3.0) sometime around February 2011. Skype also promises supporting video chat in the near future as well. Fingers crossed!

they need to get on it!

I just received this link from Google Blogspot posted by Jonathan Rosenberg, Google Senior Vice President, Product Management.

Official Google Blog: Some cool Android tips and tricks

Tango: A free, high-quality video call app that works on both 3G and Wi-Fi. If your device has a front facing camera (e.g., Nexus S), you will love this app.

Way to go Google!!!

Tango just updated their app to support the Nexus S. That was pretty quick. Kudos to them.

I'm thinking google added some pressure

Glad they did if that is why it got updated after the phone was out for 6 days

I'm going to test it tomorrow and see how it works

[BiGMERF]

I think Tango works only for mobile to mobile calls.

Skype 2.0 is available from the market and supports video calling

On select carriers, apparently at skype's discretion

It wasn't supported on my i9020A Nexus S (with Rogers) but I found a signed apk on xda, and now it works fine. And I must say video quality looks better than google talk. Much less lag also. Its smooth.
