Was looking for another app as well... tried Fring but it uses the back camera.

Tango sucks though, it's so stuttery and laggy even over wifi. I'm gonna try Qik next, but it doesn't seem like there's any good video calling app for android yet.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
tango isnt the only but at this time its the best and works with 2.3
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] leyvatron:
Tango does suck....

Lets hope GTalk video chat is smooth and perfect.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kmmxracer:
Yes Tango sux very much. What is the app the evo uses my cousins have evos and I would love to chat with them
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Qik is what you're thinking of I believe :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Z51:
try the yahoo messenger video chat...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
Has anyone tried ooVoo? It was featured earlier today
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fchipm:
Only the rear cam works on yahoo with NS.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler747:
Does Qik not work yet? Sorry if it doesn't work, I don't have a ns, just a suggestion ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sirius b:
ooVoo did not allow me to do video chat as it will not let me select using the front facing camera as my video source in the app settings on my Nexus S nor my girlfriends. So it is not a viable choice for Nexus S owners.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] davidaron60:
I wrote qik support on this last week, but they couldn't give be an ETA on a video chat app for NS.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
About to just program a video chat app myself. -_-
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
On ooVoo's website, it says that they are working on Nexus S compatibility. The last time I checked was couple weeks ago, so yeah, could have changed by now.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
nothing works except tango. Which 'works' but doesn't work. I have a bunch of video chat apps installed on my phone waiting patiently for one of them to update. :(

I am SO STOKED about oovoo! Desktop to mobile! Anf they announced support for NS!!! argh!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RinTinTigger:
anyone tried ooVoo yet ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
I am hoping Skype video support comes to Android sometime soon. My family that lives all over the country uses it to keep in touch, so it'd be nice to have that option from my phone. I don't really have a reason to use video chat on my phone otherwise at the moment.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
Not available for us yet.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
currently Skype works very well in Android, just no video

voice only at the moment
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fchipm:
I tried ooVoo and it looks promising, but yeah it doesn't work for NS yet. The UI is nice, and the desktop client seems good. Keeping an eye on this one...

Can't believe Google dropped the ball on this. THEIR phone with a FFC and no Google Chat video. :confused::mad:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mr mystery:
One of the many WTF were they thinking?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] yourtravelboy:
I've tried ooVoo. It fails to connect the call. It'll ring the other person, but when the call goes to connect, no dice. Tango is the only video chat app that has ffc on the NS, but as everyone has already stated, it's so laggy, it's painful to use. I hope that something changes soon.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
That is why I said I hope video support comes soon :P
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nexus712:
- ooVoo sounds promising (pc-to- phone and would be a nice touch)

- skype they stole my $10 because I was not using their paid service enough, so now I am refusing to use their service!!! (it’s not about $10 but about Skype’s business principles). I will never support them, they deserve to go out of business.

more info here on ugly skype practice:

http ://hubpages.com/hub/How-Skype-Steals-Your-Money
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
That's fine, but Skype has millions of users, They aren't going anywhere. Besides it's $10. Kind of scumy you are trying to get around not being able to post a URL too. :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i'll not pay for the ooVoo

they want to be a Skype wanna be

the fake "free" account that get only lets you have a 1 minute conversation

but you don't read about it, until after you sign up for the account.

so it's a total BS, even Skype is better, at least Skype has no minute restrictions for free voice & video conversations

so i vote for Tango as the best Video conversation until something better comes along (crossing fingers for Skype with video) :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
Dude, this is from oovoo website:

Free? Yes, free!

Here's what you get with your FREE ooVoo plan.

* 2-way video calls.

* Record and send 1 minute video messages.

* Create 1 video chat room to embed on a website.

* Friends without ooVoo can join a call with you from their browser.

* 6-way text chat.

* Send files up to 5MB at a time.

I think you were confused about sending a 1 minute video MESSAGE, not a video chat. It IS FREE just like skype. I've tested it. And Tango is completely unusable.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] abhilashraj:
Let's see if they drop any video calling on honeycomb.

agreed it might not look identical on the nex-s ... but hey , atleast we can be sure it'll find its way down to android phones.. sooner than later ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] abhilashraj:
Let's see if they mention any video calling on honeycomb this wednesday.

agreed it probably wudnt look identical on phones ... but hey , atleast we can be sure it'll find its way down to android phones.. sooner than later ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] carlost24:
This video chat issue has to be resolved soon...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
This thread is about video chat, not streaming video. Which works fine...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nexus712:
Sadly, you are right about most of your points - but I still don't like Skype. It seems they got a bit too big and now trying to squeeze every penny they can form the consumer using shady & unethical rules.

Also, sorry about the URL thing.. - thanks

Holy shift(gear) fring now supports nexus s! Anyone tried yet?

PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fring now supports nexus s! !!! WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stonew5082 THANK YOU MAN!!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tekkitan:
Funny, they haven't tried to squeeze anything out of me. But I use my phone to make calls, not Skype.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] iinviktus:
The newly updated version of Tango (yesterday) has much better video and sound quality. No lag on TMo in San Francisco. Worked great, impressed.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jinxcrusader:
Hm so is Tango or Fringe the better of two video call apps?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] terra_droid:
Can Tango call another type of phone, say the iPhone?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] RaQHoliday:
I've used both Tango and Fring in the past week, both were acceptable. The new Fring update allowed me to conference with a MT4G user without issue, everything worked great.

I use both, depending on who I'm calling and what they have installed.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jinxcrusader:
Would Fringe or tango be able to call a phone that has video calling built in? Or do the recipient need to have the same app installed as well?

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DKYang:
Need to have the same app installed. Fring to Fring. Tango to Tango. Qik to Qik. Unfortunately, there is no standard app for video calling.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
and none of them can video conference to a pc yet. :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reelportal:
yeah, every app has a deficiency :(...my ReelPortal app can video conference with the PC fine, but it can only access the rear camera on the Nexus S (due to current Adobe AIR limitation)...not much I can do at this point, besides waiting for Adobe to update their AIR platform to support multiple cameras.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
yahoo IM works fine on Froyo 2.2 to chat with the FFC from phone to phone and phone to PC

but unfortunately it doesn't work properly on 2.3
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] byock1:
I'm surprised it's taking them so long to get a decent video chat app.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] reelportal:
From what I read, Android 2.2 supports only 1 camera natively, so access to the other camera is device-dependent. So if you add device-specific code to access the FFC, you probably have to change the code again for Android 2.3, since it now supports multiple cameras natively.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jinxcrusader:
Great! Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] carlost24:
Any update on the video chat quality?

I had put wp7 on my hd2 and experience issues with it restarting over and over on its own.

I have since gone back to android and have notice they my SD only reads 200mb. Its a 16gb SD.

My question, is there a way to restore or undo the format wp7 applied to my SD? I'd rather not buy another SD lol

Any suggestions would be apreciated
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pozabi:
I had the same problem.

I could not format in Windows XP or in Windows 7 ...

In the end I formatted in camera.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Xperia20:
WP7 creates two partitions - one for system use the other is what you're seeing - the 200mb partition.

Theres program called SD Format nocking around on the internet that should reformat and remove the partion WP7 creates - try googling SD Format that should throw up some links to it - i beleive its freeware.

If you are using a NAND build of Android, you can just format it from the phone and it should recover the remaining amount of the SD card. I don't remember who I saw that posted it on here, but it worked for me when I tried it.

Hey!

While using Smartphones for more than 2 years and beeing a computer-enthusiast I'm pretty much stumped at the moment.

I just got a 350€ phonebill ....

The first thing i did ofc was check my online-bill and see there ->

At 5 different days my handy consumed 500mb each within a few hours :eek:.

I didn't use any trafficmonitoring tools since i NEVER(!) topped 200mb. I just used my phone to surf a bit and check for e-mails.

This month i installed Skype. I did NO Phonecalls and chatted for a few hours tops which resulted in horrendous 2 gig traffic (my contract covers 1gb)

Just wanted to tell you guys to take care!
[Android Apps and Games] skymera:
This is why I use 3G Watchdog Pro and APN Droid, because, you just never know :)

I had a similar problem last year, had a £99 bill which didn't get capped at £45 over like it should.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Snowfox software makes a few programs for video and audio tools. I played around with their dvd and total video converter last night and this morning. It had some decent results. It isn't perfect but its done a good job with converting divx or hd mkv files to files compatible with the audio and video specifications of android. I put in the video size of 800x480 and bumped up the video bitrate and adjusted the sampling and bitrate of audio and let the trial do its thing. Good results.

I also stumbled across a miro video converter. That program does a good job as well but basically does not have any settings to tweak. It has phone presets. I picked the one I thought had a high video resolution, nexus one, and let it do its thing.

I have been having a difficult time trying to get iphone and ipod presets to play good with handbrake as the encoder, but haven't had much luck yet. I am trying to get as good of quality as I can and these are the results I've gotten so far. I thought I would share this with you in case anyone might be wondering. Miro is free as in beer.

Feels like a fancy minesweeper, needs better graphics.

I would like some sort of chat bot providing some colorful commentary like "are you sure? " "not bad" "you are not getting closer " and that sort of stuff (with SHUT UP! Command of course) give it more personality

Game itself... mechanics is okay but needs feint or other cloud scoreboard support. Right now everything is random so no comparison.

Another idea is play aids, like helpful circles or borders to narrow down suspect squares. However you get penalty factor if you use them. So you cannot get high score unless you turn them off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Might I suggest a naming convention for posts here ?

Currently we mostly have Windows Mobile, Windows Phone and Android devices on this forum. As this "Paid Software" forum is not split up into different OS's (yet ?) we should have a naming convention.

I am proposing the following scheme, including OS, version number, and root status.

Windows Mobile

[WM 6.x] <appname>

For WM apps that run on all WM 6 versions

[WM 6.5] <appname>

For WM apps specific to WM 6.5 (or 6.0, or 6.1, etc)

Windows Phone 7

[WP 7] <appname>

Any WP7 app

Android

[Android 1.6+] <appname>

For Android specific apps that require at least Android 1.6

[Android 1.6-2.1] <appname>

For Android specific apps that require at least Android 1.6, but are known not to work on for example 2.2 and 2.3

[Android 1.6+, ROOT] <appname>

Same as [Android 1.6+], but requires root.

Release dates, versions

Some apps include release dates and version numbers, suggesting that the date follow the OS specification, and version number follows appname.

For example:

[Android 1.6+, ROOT, 2010.12.31] MyRootApp v1.3 - The greatest app ever!

This is just all just a suggestion. Feel free to comment. I just think it should be easy to see these app sepecifics in the listing directly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Guardian_Bob:
This is a great start, but what about apps that are linked to a specific type of phone?

For example, there a hardware specific apps for the Galaxy S line which includes Fascinate, Captivate, Vibrant, i9000, etc.

What I'm thinking, and feel free to offer a counter to this, is that most phones can be boiled down to a 3-4 letter identifier, which obviously includes the OS.

For example, Samsung Galaxy S series is SGS. So if I have an app for SGS I'd expect it to be:

[SGS 2.2+, ROOT]

Also in some cases there's specific features of ROM needed, for example with the SGS series again, backlight notification. I'd expect this to part of the list with ROOT.

Finally, I'd put version numbers and/or dates at the end of the post, in ()

So:

[SGS 2.1+ ROOT|BLN] My Cool App (v1.0)

[And 1.6] My Other App (01/15/11)

Any thoughts?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pandapaul:
I think this sounds spot on. We definitely need a good naming convention given the broad scope of this new forum. Thanks much :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Those are good suggestions.

However, it does require the average reader to know what all that means, it possibly makes it all too complicated.

Something like SGS could be an addition, but I think it should still simply start with the OS and version denominator.

For example:

[Android 1.6+, ROOT, SGS, BLN, 2010.12.31] My App v12

This is too long, I know. However date is most commonly in front on XDA. This should also clear up for the WM/WP users that this is not for them. An SGS user will still spot the "SGS" and know it is for them. Non-SGS users might have to read the thread to see that is is "For Samsung Galaxy S devices only!"

We need something better, but removing Android from the title isn't it, I think.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] missparker76:
Wow seems really complex. The more it is complex the less it will be followed by OPs.

While I think it's a nice idea to open a section for paid applications I would have created it in all forums that already have an "Application etc." forum. It would sound more logical IMO and it would show OPs that they have to choose between the 2 subfora (development ongoing / paid applications for advertising only).

Creating juste one forum for all OS, devices etc. will make it difficult to find information in it and I don't think people will have the reflex to go in General forum to find applications.

If the application is in HD2 forum for example no need to have a long title people will know that the application is for HD2 only.

Just my 2 cents ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You are absolutely right there, but paid apps are not allowed to be posted in the device-specific sections :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Guardian_Bob:
Hopefully proper sub-forums, as listed here will make the OS portion not needed.

Then phone types would make sense at the start, followed by OS version.

Finally, I was suggesting the date at the end more as a general style that would flow better. Just like for the most part, we go from least specific to most specific when identifying things (for example, Android 1.6) it would make sense that the name would come before any version or date specifier.

While I realize this would break with the tradition some user's have started, at best it is applied inconsistently so standardizing in a well known and defined way seems like a good thing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
It seems indeed they are coming.

Let us then, for the few days we still have to wait, use the suggested format of simply adding the OS name and version in front of the release ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Guardian_Bob:
That seems more than fair.

People may want to hold off posting until the subforums show up, to keep the mods from having too big of a headache.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hilaireg:
Great initiative Chainfire. :)

Once we have a reasonable naming convention, efforts will be required to ensure that it is adhered to.

;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NotATreoFan:
We can set the App forums to require prefixes. Much like the optional "Is this a question?" adds [Q] at the start of a title.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yeah I think we should.

We'll let the committee decide on final subject format, and then have it implemented, I guess.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ralflau:
Good idea.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TRusselo:
there should be a set of prefixes to choose from, at the beginning of the "create thread title" in "create new post".

you can only use from standard list and no [ ] allowed in titles, custom prefixes with { }

XDA admins would also need to run script on thread titles to replace ALL current [ ] with { } for all prefixes not in list previously mentioned.

not terribly hard, would help a bunch.
