So I am trying to set up video chatting for phone to PC use. I have found that Yahoo works, but it only comes out the back camera of my phone. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is this standard? If so, are there any other apps?
I have only ever heard of Yahoo working from phone to PC. Thanks in advance.
My ffc worked before I installed CM7. I also have been trying to figure this out. help!
I also want to know!

I am pretty damn surprised that this isn't a more popular question. Barely any replies. I still have had no luck with any phone to PC that works with FFC.
I see you are in Maui. Right on bra, born and raised. Live on the mainland now. Upcountry represent. MAUI BUILT.
Look for "CM7 Yahoo camera fix" or something like that, in Development forum.

i have the same problem but i dont think it has anything to do with cm7.. yahoos video chat doesnt work with gingerbread. thats why i think it doesnt work right. but im not 100% sure of that but makes since. it doesnt show that it works for gingerbread if u read what devices it supports for the add on video chat thing for yahoo messenger
Google coming out with their gtalk app its a pc to phone phone to phone app. Wait for that as it will be significantly better. Yahoo won't work as it looks for the hacks in froyo to get the ffc to work they need to upgrade for gingerbread support so that that can use correct api.

yeah, I thought it was really funny how the day after I posted in this topic, Google made that announcement.
also, I'm born and raised here in Maui as well, but I'm moving to Honolulu in a few weeks.
Cant find gtalk on the market right now, my guess the new version will be out very soon.

This is a post for my friend Jonathan, he has made an awesome app that will scramble your friends brains. It's free and on the market place. He doesn't tell u how to do the trick, but with a little practice and a guess he will email u the directions. See his email below.
Hey guys, this is my first android app. It's called magic poker flip, which is a poker magic property app. You can use it to flip out others selected card by touching the screen. Show it on a party will be cool. You may watch my video here.
Now the android version is on android market as a free app. It's now v2.0, and tested well on 2.1 & 2.2. Not sure about 1.6 & 2.0, but seems can't work on 1.5. The secret of the trick is hidden inside the app, maybe you can guess by yourself how the trick works or try to find the solution somewhere in the app.
Hope you guys will like it and wish you have fun! Thanks!
Thanks Chris for helping me. Some guys have sent me email and just guess the solution right. Congrats..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's two month after my app was published, and tomorrow will be my 21st birthday, so I think it's time to reveal the secret to all you guys, no matter you've solved it or still stuck in it or planning to download it.
The solution of the trick is hidden in 'tutorial', you can enter and reverse your phone to check it if you can't figure it out.
Here I want to thank all the guys who sent my email or PM, your encouragements are my motivation to go further.
For the WM users, really sorry for the delay of your version. I promise it will be OK at early September, at which time I may finish my school project.
Nice app, I'll private message you my guess and my suggestion.
i don't get it. so does the trick work by you revealing a card that someone has chosen?

yes, you can play it with your friend after you get the right solution to the app, like i did in the video.
alright then, i shall try to figure it out. will pm you once i think i got it right
EDIT: Ok, i figured out 50% already. Now to find out the other half
2nd EDIT: I figured out 99% already. Just left that 1%
By the way, this app is really awesome. Smart technique.
Final EDIT: I've solved it! This magic app is by far the most innovative and well thought off that I have seen. (unlike some iphone magic apps that I've tried)
Ha, thanks for the appreciation! Good for you to get it. Just GO & SHOW to your friends, it will be COOL.

Why is it he uses the computer to pick a card? I don't really get it.
I've tried pointing so the camera can see the card and I've tried saying what the card is, the app just gives a random card :?
hmmm, i havent figure it out yet, but was wondering if there is or will be a WM version?

When he finishes his exams, he is going to work on a WM version, but has quite a bit of coding to do. Wish him luck on his exams and I'm sure we'll see Magic Poker and others like it this summer. Good luck Jonathan! And get that Paypal working so we can send ya a dollar. It's the least we could do for your unique App!
Good luck with your exams, Jonathan
mhm....i got it to get the numbers i want, but the colors make me some kind of trouble
EDIT: got the colours also to do what i want...it's pretty neat and well done
Took 2min to find out.
It's pretty neat though.
Great app, guys.
Thanx, I promise it will come to wm, but maybe I can not work this month became of the school assignments. However, I'll reply your email ASAP. If you have some ideas or some needs you can tell me via email and I'll try to create more apps which bring you more fun. Love you, guys.

Google Talk with video seems like it could be useful for the Atrix!
Is this completely out of the question until we are on gingerbread? Is anyone working on this project?

Someone is starting work on it, there's an app called vTok in the market, it's free and very beta. I made a call from my atrix to my friend's galaxy S. it was very choppy and you can hardly hear, but it works on froyo, so there's some potential there. It was over wifi.
but when I made a call from atrix to my PC, it worked very smoothed, pretty awesome but it only used the back camera. still some work to be done. but proof of concept is there, it works on froyo.

Sound ****ty to be honest, no offence.
Tango and Fring work a lot better. If and when we get Gingerbread we should be able to use Gtalk. There was an update on all the Android sites saying that it's flashable through CWM, we just need to be on fricken GB!!!!
Damn you, Motorola!
Tango is the best. http://goo.gl/I8EQT
Few days ago I watched a video where an Nvidia employee was showing the capabilities of Tegra2 and was running Skype video on an Acer a500... of course I can't find the video for the life of me.. but anyways how the hell did they get it to work and we can't?
I use Skype a lot and it really sucks the only use of the front camera is to take a blurry picture of my self..

Found it! Hmm it looks like its not running 3.0 but 2.2 or 2.3 still though.

Yeah that was 3 months ago and still no video Skype. And now that Microsoft owns them don't expect it before they release it for the new Winblows phones.
it's not skype, but google talk from tab to desktop, and i assume tab-tab works for video chat using front facing camera.

Then why does the nVidia guy constantly talk about Skype and their partnership with Skype while showing it off?
I this still an issue? Just got my A500, & it video skypes perfectly.
Uh, Skype video has been working just fine for me for a while now.
Skype video works great for me as well.. even tethered to my cell for internet..
I suggest you uninstall it then re-install.. If still no go And you are on a custom rom post in the rom devopers thread where you got it .If your stock consider resetting your tablet

The new Skype (2) was released today and has support for 4 phones with front facing cameras. I was wondering if it's possible for the Netflix hack to be applied to Skype... in at least a similar fashion? I'm not sure how the netflix hack worked to begin with (APK hack or Build.prop... still a noob to android guts). I'm also wondering if it only works on 2.3 because of the new camera api's...
Anyone else curious/interested? I don't know how to hack it but I am just curious.
I am both, curious and interested...
Sadly, a simple mod on the APK or build.prop won't be enough. That's the reason Qik has a dedicated video app for motorola atrix. It's an API/driver issue.
In android development theres one, check it out :-D(before complaing, its test version guys)
Cool, that was fast! I didn't see it, must have come up right before I posted.
Edit: Can't find the topic, got a link?

not entirely correct, with Gingerbread (2.3.3+) Google included a standard FFC driver which Moto has stated is compatible with the Atrix and should be used for any further development on GB platforms. on froyo, all carriers had to figure out FFC drivers on their own, but for GB it's standard.

it's in the main Android Apps forum, an SGS user modified theirs to work on the SGS, but on the Atrix it force-closes on sign-in.

It doesn't FC on sign in for me, it FC's when I try to do a video chat.
Sigh... and still no use for the front facing camera...

I know it isn't Skype. But Fring works pretty good between my and my sons Atrixs.
But I'd so much rather use Skype.

are you running froyo or gingerbread?
So are we saying that once Gingerbread is fully released for the Atrix that Skype will easily be able to add support in for the phone?

theoretically, yes. since all GB devices will be able to use a common FFC driver, it shouldn't be a problem. of course, nothing ever goes that smoothly or easily...
skype and all would be great, but id be more interested in getting the FFC to actually work... in the unofficial GB (or whatever u wanna call it) release the FFC doesnt work..
How about on the skype hack that just came out (look at android police) on 2.3.4
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

Anyone able to use Tango on this ROM? My camera like weirded the EFF out.
The FFC made me swell up and the RFC does some kind of Tetris stuff.
Any idea or help here?

Well hopefully it's a bug that gets worked out soon.
Or I'll have to switch to something else for the time being. (Really don't want to)

I'm kind of in the same state of mind. I've got a growing number of friends with Android phones that have FFCs. I'd really like to be able to use mine.
Yeah. And I use Tango a lot to keep in touch with my relatives back home.
Plus I have 2 small kids and they like seeing their uncles and aunts and so on and so forth.
More than likely I'm just gonna switch back to RoyalGinger or was it RoyalGlacier.
Anyway, one or the other til it's worked out.
