Cross Platform video chat "TANGO" what you think?

I did a search and noticed no one had a topic on it so if its been discussed feel free to delete this thread MOD, anyways Ive tried it out and I get some really mixed performance but all in all i like it. Any input as to any other apps that might be better? http://www.ithinkdiff.com/facetime-...3g-wifi-supports-iphone-4-iphone-3gs-android/
Edit:Sorry dont waste your time on this thread heres the original topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795362&highlight=Tango
Mods please lock this thread thank you

11 page thread.
and in case you want to become a beta tester...here. Might be too late though.
But personally I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet. My brothers are both getting new 4th Gen iPod Touches soon though, one of which is going to be deploying soon. So I will definitely be using this app soon. It looks very promising.

It is decent but it kills your battery. The app keeps the phone awake. Once they fix this, it will replace qik and fring for me, but in the meantime I will stick with fring for cross platform video chat

Agreed. I'm sure they will have the battery drain fixed within the next week or so though. Anything to get rid of fring. Its a nice app and all, but I absolutely hate the UI. It looks like a 3rd grader's artwork.

Damn my bad i typed in tango in the search and nothing popped up :/ oh well, either way yeah i did notice that while i was testing it out it was murdering the battery, and I agree that fring's ui is really bad.

Iphone’s multitask is so funny~~~

kinda a just-for-fun story. I am really proud of my cappy after that~~~
So I was talking to my friend using an App called QQ, which is quite similar to ICQ or MSN, and is very famous in China.
And it turns out that she kept getting online and then offline and then online again...
And I asked 'what's wrong with u',
and she said "I have to quit QQ to use another App"
And I:"don't u have multitask in Iphone4???"
and she:"yeah!! It actually notifies me when a message comes, but it shows to u that I was offline until I reply to u............"
And at that point, GPS seems no big deal to me, cappy rocks~~~

I have a Iphone 3GS at the moment and yes, the "multitasking" (if you can call it that) sucks.
Its not really multitasking its more of a quick bar to apps stored in memory, so they load faster and thats its.

iOS4 multitasking is a joke. but considering how long it took apple to offer MMS, that comes as no surprise
when i had my jailbroken 3GS, i used proswitcher + backgrounder for *real* multitasking, which worked very well. if your friend's iphone is jailbroken, you should suggest those apps. she will be your best friend

Iphone multitasking is lame compared to the iphone. Her app, however, was poorly written if it showed her as offline when she closed it. There are plenty of instant messaging apps that worked seamlessly even on iOS 3.

i used to own a 3gs for a year an a half, and i was so let down by that multitask they offer. number one, it takes forever to kill all the apps you open. number 2, if you want any convenience, you HAVE to jail break for sbsettings. now, its not as easy or quick to jail break any longer, cause of the constant updates ever since they try to move towards the whole ios 4.. there are in between updates that are quite annoying. so far, I don't see any use for the iphone. its just another phone, if you can call it that (such bad call quality, makes a "free" phone that you get for signing up a contract look good.). nonetheless, i suggest getting those "all in one" social network apps, like Beejive. it keeps you logged in even if you hit the dreaded Home button.

Please dont call it a "Cappy" sounds extremely childish/gay.

I'm assuming this is iPhone OS3 you're talking about? iOS 4's multitasking isn't all that different from Android's, actually. The major differences is in Android you get to build your own services that can run in the background, whereas in iOS 4 you have five pre-made services you can register your app with to receive updates and whatnot, or "finish a download" (which you can extend infinitely to maintain an active network connection in the background).
It's janky and not true multitasking, but I understand their reasons. The iPhone targets people that are interested in technology, but generally aren't very tech savvy. I'm not really surprised that Apple doesn't trust their customers to manage their own apps in a more direct way than the task launcher doodad.

My old jailbroken iPhone3G had pretty decent multitasking with SpringBoard and was actually capable of handling 4 to 5 apps at once (despite what steve jobs says about the 3G's ability to do so, not when you can buy the new iteration afterall). iPhone 4's stock multitasking is terrible in comparison. Having used my GFs time after time, I still dont entirely have a handle on it, extremely unintuitive.
It would be interesting to see if QQ's offline/online issue can be fixed by jailbreaking and using SpringBoard as its multitasking platform. It seems as though it treated the open apps as simply being open, but not seen. But im sure apples way of doing it allows only for a pared down open-in-multitasking instances to be burning the background resources.

^what he said.
I had a similar combo ( backgrounder & circuitous) and it worked quite well. Although, android's app memory management is much better given that its baked in from the ground up.

I want wp7 or dual boot option

IS this possible ? I know I know why would I want to.... Personally its the whole sh1t @ss media setup android has. Dont get me started on browsers.
I thought I read winmo has some kind of indentifier? Is this true? IF not are there any 8mp wp7 phones ?
Let the flamming begin my skin is made of asbestos!

I'd be interested in trying this out too. There was a project to create on on another Android Device, I just can't remember which one.

My grandparents always had this saying: **** in one hand and wish in the other. See which fills up faster.
I still to this day have no clue what that means but I feel like it applies here.
Just funning. This would be something I'd want too but I believe it's near impossible without a companion device on that OS a la HD2/EVO/HD7. That's why the HD2 can dual-boot all those OSes.

The closest your gonna get for now is the Launcher 7 app. Its free from the market.

Unfortunately (Or fortunately imo), this is likely never going to happen. It's just not possible with the extra security that MS has employed, and it would in all honesty be a waste of time. There isn't anything WM7 can do that Android can't. (AFAIK.)

Yea it would be definitely unique for them to make that possible...sort of like how they're trying to port android to the HD7...this could be a sort of new age HD2 LOL...you know without Wm of course
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Ive also read security is tough. they went the extra mile and there are a few hardware signatures.
I would be interested in seeing this happen for an N1 or G2x simply out of curiousity because i dont see myself ever leaving android let alone to buy a windows phone. a port would allow me to try it out for a while ( i think i know 1 person that has a WP7 ) lol
Id be curious to see how well it integrates to the PC and XBOX 360. ever since the windows smartphone became an Idea they killed the ability to see my android on the xbox which is a shame.

Windows mobile 7 can multitask WAY better than Android. Try streaming audio or video in one window then open another and surf while trying to listen to the streaming audio/video in the first browser window that was active. On Android the audio/video streaming will cease, on Windows 7 you can browse on the newly opened window while the audio/video streaming from the first window will still be active and playing in the background for you to listen to.
Also, with all my reading and researching on other android forums and devices, it seems Android as an operating system is a huge battery drainer even when you're not activley using the handset/device. Windows mobile 7 won't have a horrible battery drain like Android when just on standby. My assumption on this is that google really wants to "listen" in on you, after all they are part of this "big brother" movement.

P.S. Sorry to continue the off topic-ness...as far as your question goes OP, I doubt that it will ever happen because it would be hard to accomplish in the first place (due to security and compatibility with hardware) and I'm not sure that a lot of developers would be interested in undertaking this project.

Agreed, I can't imagine any devs putting in the HUGE effort it would take to port WP7 to this device given the lack of demand for such a port (most people who want WP7 buy a phone with WP7). That said, it would be a great technical accomplishment and just plain cool.

my whole thing is (and heres where I debunk the whole android is superior myth)
is im a media guy: internet music videos etc. And im sorry but android SUCKS and FAILS massively with that. and of course theres the whole stupid file management thing(why is there not a native file explorer like windows?).
and then the biggest android fail: web browsing.
it just sucks on android. I mean its awful. WHy is the native browser so... crappy? I feel its bs that i have to "get an app for that" when it seems to me it should be part of the native OS. I know...its a phone. But whotf uses "mobile version" websites? what is this symbian? And why has no one made an ap for the ua debug ? I want to open my browser and go to ANY website I want in FULL desktop view. JUST LIKE WINDOWS. WITHOUT having to type in "aboutdebug" go to settings etc... really getting old
Skyfires ok...but... some websites(like my bank ) dont work. ANd pay for video??? sigh. at least they have a UA psuedo ap at the top.
and again poor media structure...No music or video looping...the list goes on.
MAybe you guys have suggestions. I also HATE that all my media shows up in gallery. grrr ...gallery blows. I dont want to "hide" my files I just want to seperate them and not have them all open up in "gallery".
SO yes windows phones DO have some advanteges over android. Too bad windows phones suck at everything else.
MS kills me when they advertise wp7 has "thousands" of apps. its like when some loacl band compares them selves to a bigger badn" we have hundreds of fans"...k.
back to my rant ....WHy does android have the UA set this anyways its totally fkn (insert deragatory tasteless term here for all you pc bishes).

I love Android...and completely disagree with all (almost all) of your points...but you are entitled to your opinion. I have to wonder though why you would go on an Android forum and rant against Android...seems a little trollish. Sure WP7 has some advantages over Android (not sure what they are)...peas have some advantages over carrots...but they aren't the same thing and if I want peas I don't eat carrots (and then complain about the carrots). Maybe you should sell your g2x (assuming you have one) and get a WP7 phone. Not trying to be an ass. Just don't understand where you're coming from.
But like I said, a WP7 port would be cool from a technical standpoint.

yeah ok "storm" ... I changed it so you dont cry to mommy that i hurt your feelings but fyi I didnt type "gay".... can we get back to topic now? ill try n watch my p's n q's. Funny how every one can say the f word and all kind of swearing on this forum, but the minute i use the word gay someone has to whine about it. WHy dont you look up the original context of the term ghey and how its NOT a deragatory term. SOme people got to much time on their hands. Man up will ya?

for the file explorer there are plenty of free great apps.
for the browser Its not as great as my desktop but i use it often and don't have any issues. the mobile version of websites is becoming more common and when the web admin does a good job the mobile specific version is laid out better. for example sun-trust mobile. I don't even miss having an app the mobile site is so well laid out
when I need a desktop version in CM7 i just select "change user agent" under settings. if you don't like that there is always Firefox which isnt perfect but i love the syncing favs/passwords with desktop.
I will however agree with the lack of "pizzaz and wow" with media. and i REALLY agree with you on the featureless gallery and not being able to better organize it.
Just remember the whole point in android isn't to have everything set up just the way YOU like it right away. not everyone likes the same thing. the beauty in android is if you don't like it you can easily change it.
think of it this way.. the Iphone is a great phone for many people. but if you don't like the way something works or don't like Itunes you are pretty much S.O.L
once you get everything set and dialed in you wont ever want to part with your android and most other phone users are jealous
that being said.. again i really do agree with you and there needs to be some work done with the way the phone deals with media and storage.

Funny how now im a troll because I have some gripes with android. Do you work for google and dont like me pointing out flaws? IM just saying these are things that android lacks... and I love my g2x too much to give it up.lol. Not trolling, not trying to offend any one with the way I talk. But I am still right about this as you have yet to prove me wrong or give me advice on how to work around it. and I dont hate android, its awesome and I love everything thats being done with it so why not make it better and have better media software for it?

I had a mt4g then went to the hd7 in high hopes for the wp7 and enjoyed it for a few days simply because of Netflix and simplicity... but. I came running back to android on the g2x after 2 terrible hd7 handsets... it had a few nice features but in no way stands up against what we can mold our android to be.
As for the browser wp7 was amazingly smooth...

anyway back on topic haha

will be picking up either a focus s or titan in about an hour, question though

i'm jumping ship on android after many years and trading my atrix 2 in for one of the 2 for-mentioned. i'm leaning more towards the focus s since i do not like screen protectors and the focus s has GG.
however, my concern is the navigation. i know there's good navi apps on the market, but, they are $50! lol, and still don't look as good as google navigation.
does anyone know what MS has as far as features planned for tango or apollo? will bing maps ever be updated to more friendly navigation set?
also, google talk, how well does it work on wp7? gtalk is very important since it's the only way i communicate with my wife and friends (well, as far as chat/text goes, lol).

there is a five dollar turn by turn app that is actually quite good!
Just fyi

Also bing works for free, and will indicate when you make a wrong turn + say the direction if you tap the screen.
I bought navigon. I would have to say it's way better then google.
Turn by turn however is good. The online version is low cost but the offline version is 33.00 which at that amount you might as well by navigon and get 3d offline.

There is no native Google Talk client available for Windows Phone 7, but you do have options like IM+. IM+ actually works rather well and supports multiple IM services, even if it doesn't look as Metro as most apps do.

Astrid alternatives?

I was just wondering if you guys know any alternatives to Astrid as it is shutting down since Yahoo bought it.
Remember the Milk is suggested a lot but it is only useful if you pay $25 a year. Anybody know some free alternatives that work just as well if not better than Astrid?
This site brings up some good apps but has anybody actually tried some of them?

Where do you know Astrid is going to be shut down from?
I'm using it for a long time and it's great. I was using remember the milk for some time but it is strange, I don't like it.

The Astrid website and the emails they have sent out - Yahoo has bought them out and it's shutting down shortly. I've looked at a few of the recommended replacements but none of them is as good or easy as Astrid.

I'm using mainly Astrid android app. But I didn't get any emails.
I was using some apps long time ago but those were very poor...
Will have a look for some alternatives...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but theres a bit of an update. Astrid seems to have been picked up by another developer, a few of the features are missing (listed on the google play page) but it seems to be pretty good.

Astrid, I miss you so much!
Sorry to drag up this old thread again, but as I miss Astrid very much, I just have one question that keeps me up at night:
Why was it necessary to shut down Astrid?
I mean okay, Yahoo acquired Astrid. That's no problem for me. But when I buy a house, I do not burn it. I really don't understand why they shut down a very well running system. Can anybody explain this to me?

Totally agree! I tried EVERY alternative. The closest to Astrid seems to be Wunderlist. I go with this now, but usability is by far not as good as it was with Astrid. I also made a suggestion do wunderlist: http://wunderlist.uservoice.com/for...se-just-implement-all-the-useful-settings-ast

I'm all ears. Your link is broken.

Hi,
It's now called 'Tasks (based on Astrid)' by Alex Baker. Seems quite active but it doesn't have the pure calendar widget support yet so I'm still on the original Astrid. Just trying out 'DGT GTD' which is looking very promising considering it's rock solid and still in alpha!
