Nokia :: N900 / Video Calling W/o Using Skype
Aug 12, 2010
I have been happily using N900 for Skype video calling.When I first received my phone I was told by my phone company that N900 supports video calling without using Skype(using mobile numbers to other compatible phones via the 3G network)My partner also has a N900 and is not able to make Video Calling either, where when we both had an E72 we had no problems at all.I called Nokia 2 months ago and they said that in Australia, they will have video calling to mobile numbers very soon for the N900. Can anyone at Nokia tell me when this is happening? This was one of the main reasons I bought the N900 as it is promoted to have video calling on 3G as well as Internet (Skype or other).I am keen to use video calling as I work with clients who don't necessarily have Skype, but use video calling nonetheless.

First of all, I cannot seem to get the touted video call working through skype. It is a neat feature and I would like to use it. I have read other complain about the poor quality of the webcam, but I cannot seem to get it started, period. How is that done? I don't see any option to make a video call and / or start video during a call. Is it a defective phone, or is it something else?
Secondly, T-mobile lets you dial #646# in order to check your balance, yet the phone says this is an invalid number. Is there any workaround for this?

I know this may be speculation but this may be the deal breaker for me to get the next phone. I have a child off to college pretty soon who uses skype video regularly with her friends and I will assume with me also. I have actually gotten the skype video to work on my little Nokia N79 fairly well and would like my next phone to also have this capability so I can talk with her when she's away but I am not near my computer.

I read on Skype's website that Tegra 2 devices such as the Atrix can't do video calling because the chipset doesn't have NEON technology support. Is this something that can be changed with a software update, or is this something that Tegra 2 devices will never be able to have?

Video calling with Skype appears not to work on my Droid Razr? I can see them, but they can't see me. A pitch black box appears as my video.
I bought the Razr specifically for video calling, my husband lives overseas!

How do I get Skype onto my N900. I have checked their website but it does look as if they support the N900 they just state that it is pre-installed which on mine it isn't

I purchased a new N900 from the Nokia prioirty dealers in India.I checked for the pre installed Skype in VoIP and IM accounts. It is not there. There are only OVI, Gtalk, Jabber, Facebook and SIP accounts. There is no New menu coming up anywhere on the screen to create the SKype account. when I tried loading Skype from the internet through Wifi of N900, It is indicating that the download cannot be sent to this mobile number. My service provider is Airtel.

My N900 can connect to the internet (I can search in goodle or download and install packages with no issues) but it cannot connect to Skype account. Error message: Authentication failed. It was connecting to Skype just fine before the update. I tried to re-enter the password, of course. I do not want to delete the Skype account and create a new one just yet: I have all my contacts set up already and I am afraid I will loose those merges between Skype and the phone's address book if I delete the existing Skype account. Maybe anyone has any suggestions on what can I try first?

I'm having a problem with Skype on my N900 (PR1.2).
The vast majority of my Skype contacts are fine. I can Skype Instant Message them with no problem.
However, there are a couple where when I try and send an IM, I get the message:
messaging_fi_unable_to_deliver_message_contact_unauthorized
I have tried removing the contact (from both my and the remote contact's Skype), and I've readded from my N900 and asked for authorization, and its been accepted, but I still get the error message when I try and IM.
When the remote contact IMs me the message never turns up, but they don't get an error message.
I've also tried it the other way around, where we delete the contacts on each other's Skype, and then the remote contact has asked for authorization, and I've accepted on the N900 - but still the same message.
The remote user us on Windows 7, using Skype 4.2.0.169. It has worked previously, but all of a sudden, it stopped for no obvious reason. This is happening with two of my contacts, who are in two different locations on different versions of Windows. Oddly, Skype voice calls work okay!
I can IM all my other Skype contacts no problem.

The main reason for me to buy the 5630 is the video phone feature. But I'm not yet sure, how to do this. On the PCs I use both Skype and SIP. Now I installed Skype on the 5630 and can do the "Skype testing call" w/o problems via WLAN, but I'm not sure how to activate the video function. Does it work? If so, how? Or do I have to use SIP for video telephony instead of Skype?

The manual states that the indicator light should flash red during video calls when the front-facing camera is active.I've made video calls using Skype but my indicator light has remained off.Has anyone experienced the flashing red light or is it a general bug?

Does Nokia 5230 have video calling option? Before I bought it, the store told me that it's one pf those phones who doesn't have a secondary camera, but it does have video calling. Is that possible and is that the case with this phone?It's actually one of the reasons that I bought it, so I'm kind of disappointed I can't find a way to use it.
Video Call Time up to 3.0 hours.so I'd expect it does have it.
Is it important that I bought it here in Slovenia?

I wanna know if the video calling is available on both N97 ("normal" and mini). Depending on the website, it's available on both or only on the "normal".

I am unlikely ever to use the "Video call" facility on my N8.
How do I stop the option being presented in the contacts screen alongside Message and Voice Call? I could not see how to remove this option.

I bought my Nokia C7-00 couple of months before. I've downloaded a few software although they are not good as android software but it's ok with me. Now I'm looking for a software through which I can have video chat. I have a software called Nimbuzz and it is good for voice but I can't have video chat through it. So is there anyone out there who can suggest me a software through which I can video chat and my phone also must support that?,Don't suggest Skype as it hangs my phone every time I try to have have voice or video conversation.
