Video Chat Force Closes

---

I keep getting a force closes or my front facing camera doesn't' seem to work when i try any of the video chat applications. Tango, Qik, and Fring all don't work for me. Fring and Qik get forces closes and Tango just doesn't show any video. I have a Verizon Xperia play.

Same here can't figure out what the problem is

u know its funny i use yahoo and for some reason it uses my back camera. there is no option to use the front camera! so i guess i am suffering from the same pain! lol.
but yahoo video works as long as u use the back camera.

I have the same problems. I guess it's a verizon Xplay specific thing?

Im from canada. With rogers. So its general

Doesn't Verizon's Xperia Play has Skype with Video?

well i had read in some reviews that the front camera cannot be used for any kinds of videos calls it was in gsm arena i suppose :P

Yahoo Messenger or Vtok?

I tried Yahoo Messenger (with Video add-on from the market) from my Xplay to my sister's laptop and it would ring her and vice versa but would always give a message that she could not answer the call, neither video nor voice. The only video I could see is that from my Xplay's back facing camera and I could not change it to the front facing video. For a photo for my profile however the yahoo messenger took the snapshot from the front facing camera. I tried both over 3G and Wifi - if anyone had better experience please let me know so that I can see if it was some network issue or my sister's laptop issue.

Has anyone tried to use vtok from Xplay to Google video chat? Apparently it works and is free and does not require additional sign-in besides Google’s – I wonder if someone could confirm how well before I try to convince my sister to install gtalk on her laptop.

just noticed your post - had same thing with my video but also could not get the video or voice from the counterparty. Maybe a problem with my sister's yahoo messenger installation on her laptop? Did you do it over Wifi or 3g or both please? Thank for your help in advance

There was a leaked Skype apk with Video for android exclusive for verizon back in April - I saw people tried to modify it for other handsets and networks - I hope one of those mods will work for you given that you are on Verizon.
