Well Fring and Skype are separate programs. Skype hasn't released their video calling app yet from what I've heard, but Fring's works fine on any phone, not just those with a front-facing camera. Obviously, if you want to see the person you're talking with, a front-facing camera will be necessary.

I don't forsee any troubles with it working on the Galaxy S, though IIRC you can only currently video chat over WiFi, not 3G currently, though I could be wrong.

Hi Loba, thank you for sharing your experinces with your Galaxy S.
What I'm curious of is: Does FRING's two-way video (Skype), work on the GS.
If you have a Skype acount, did you try it?
Thanks for all your info untill now.
I just tried using my laptop. The person on the laptop using skype will be unable to view the guy on the phone as fringe uses the back camera and it apparently freezes (on the guy's com) after a while. So yes, video camera works 50%, the phone guy will be able to view the guy on the com. We can only hope it will be fixed by fringe.

One other annoying thing is that despite being in silent mode, the ringing tone when making or receiving a call on fringe is annoyingly loud as it by default uses the speakerphone at the back, which is switchable to the normal speaker on the front which is still freaking loud.

My understanding is that support for the front camera on each specific model of phone has to be included in the video calling application. We won't likely see this support until around the time the device is released.

I'm having problems with Fring on my Galaxy S, it seems the Fring does not recognize the microphone, i tried the Test call but I cannot record my voice and it automatically mutes the phone.

there is no settings on Fring that you can specify the earpiece as the default because it always use the loudspeaker..

Is there a way to change the default application for opening a certain kind of file?
Currently the default app to open my .txt file is HTMLViewer, but I'd like to change it to ThinkFree Office. Hope there's a way out!

Is there any sort of codec or somethin that allows avi playback? I don't put any movies on my phone so I don't need a media player that does it. I want to stream from my computer with allshare but all my vids are avi and don't work



Also does anyone have problems with the mic quality? I tried to record some guitar stuff and it came out super fuzzy and distorted and messed up. Some people I've had phone conversations with say my voice sometimes sounds robotic. Is it a bad quality mic or is mine just messed up and I should replace the phone?

Last post has been split off in a new topic.  This thread shouldn't have been resurrected -- closing as old/moot to avoid further posting.

All questions should be made in new posts in the appropriate forums section.
