Yes, Skype is working on new N7. Don't know about other video apps working on N7 or not.

OK thanks for the info.

Tested Skype with a friend last night on both our new Nexus 7's, and the camera was super zoomed in for both of us. Did you guys notice this? Even holding the tablet at full arms length, just our faces filled up the entire screen.
Also had issues with echo, we had to turn down our volumes really low so there wouldn't be mic feedback.

Hangouts is gut only video chat app I've tried on my N7 FHD. Works great! I use it on my other tablet and my phones as well. Love having just 1 app that can handle sooooo much!! It's awesome!!

Yep! I have the same problem. I had the video set on high quality. Going to try it on low quality to see if that makes any difference.

Tried Low Quality. Didn't make any difference. This problem makes Skype almost unuseable on the N7. Anyone else able to use Skype at 24 inch viewing distance and able to send a head and shoulders video?

Google hangouts? Ive used it with my wife on her nexus and me on my LG

Hbo Go

Here is a link for anyone who wants HboGo on their tablet. Enjoy!
http://db.tt/cPvhPpgW
Downloading now. Thank you!
Wow the table ui is sweet!!
Why does the n7 play store have it listed as incompatible again?
*edit: spoke too soon...seems videos won't play and also nav and notification bars don't disappear. Anyway, I hope when HBO adds official N7 support we get to keep the tablet ui. Its so much cooler than the phone ui.

Max go isn't updated yet to be jb compatible is my guess. HBO go was literally just updated today so I'm assuming max go will also be updated soon.

Saw the good news and grabbed hbogo now that it's updated...can't get it to stream worth a crap sadly. Flip ovee to Netflix and HD streams fine, HBO goes audio only every few seconds....very odd. Maybe issues today for them or the app has issues....

You can't ask better than Google talk built in your android device, which is connected to Google hangout and YouTube. Meaning you can video chat up to 10 people at the same time from any device. Pc via android via iPhone, etc. Plus you can watch YouTube together and share screen view and make effects. Best of all you can talk from Wi-Fi and lte. Everything is interconnected.

I like sidecar for the "see what I see" functionality. Does the same thing as all the others with the added ability to share what your camera see with the person you are talking to so they can "see what you see". Its pretty awesome...to me at least
The point is that it should be INTEGRATED and one button use... if you have to fiddle with everything and only us nerds can use it then we will never use it with the people who we really want to see during a conversation

Video Chat?

Just wondering what a good video chat app like facetime for android?

I've tried Gtalk, pretty decent, haven't tried any other apps, but people mentioned Tango works well too.
yahoo chat works on this phone.
gtalk/Google hangout works pretty well.. There's Skype obviously.. The usual tango..
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I use Gtalk/Google hangout and tango. I like Google hangout because I can video chat more than one person at the same time.
Tango is easy to use but limited to 1 on 1. Also if you are thinking about installing Tango, keep in mind that Tango has very annoying bug that changes your phone's in-call volume randomly to max and on each reboot.

The only one that I love and use now with the Note 2 and the 25 meg download speed of Tmobile is Skype. My daughter talks to her grandparents almost every day on it and it beats firing up the spare computer which is now collecting dust.

Low Volume Issue - Solved

I solved my weak low volume using Medlez new build for Noozxoide EIZO. It works fine. See Nexus 4 Forum.
Also VLC did wonders before I installed it. So Vlc is your best bet if you are not rooted. Other players with volume gain feature like Diceplayer and Archos raise video volume but not as much as they did on my Galaxy. I couldn't hear anything in the car.
With EIZO vlc is now too loud and reaches distortion level easily.
Hope this help.

Its not perfect. I had some games crashing on me. I think I was the first to try this. Misledz is working on an official flo mod as we speak. Should be ready soon. Be careful with this. Make sure you don't try and report bugs in the n4 thread as this is NOT supported. I wouldn't even try to report bugs on whatever ROM you are on as this is not completely stable. All that being said it does seem to work for the most part and I do use it as well until the official release.

It's not crashing for me. It may be your settings. But I don't do games. works great all the way on stock. With no other mod except root and custom recovery.

Apps like this (all apps also, but especially apps like fauxsound) are well worth buying for two main reasons:
-You get updates without having to waste time on Google
-YOU SUPPORT THE AMAZING DEVELOPER(s) WHO HAS BROUGHT YOU THIS MAGIC

When you bought the tablet if they offered an option to include a sound mod like faux sound for $2. You wouldn't hesitate to add it at time of purchase. So why not spend the two bucks now. It supports a great developer too. Even if you don't use his kernel a lot of other devs use faux sound and it works on multiple devices. I have it installed on my n4 as well at no extra cost.

Faux sound doesn't work with Franco and Franco refuses to add speaker gain because...well I have my opinions about him, just leave it at that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
I bought the Faux Sound app' and it did increase the volume, but I kind of wished I would have waited. V4A works phenomenally on my 7. I've ran it in stock rooted and a couple different ROMs. It gives a great increase and the sound quality is great. Perfect fix IMO. I've only used it for increasing the speaker volume, and have not tested on headphones of Bluetooth' by it's free, and works better than any paid app I've bought. No disrespect to the dev of the Faux Sound app. It does what it says, and I'm happy to pay to support an excellent developer.
