QIK to PC video chat - General Questions and Answers

thrown a bit of time tonight at find more info on this to no avail...seems a lot of questions but not many answers.
my question is: with a working version of QIK is there a way to chat to PC's? with Yahoo or something?
I would imagine its a contact setup thing but even QIKs site (which was the final place i checked) seems ambiguous on this one.

I believe the new Yahoo messenger has that ability....havent tried so cant say.

ya u r so right,new version yahoo imvideo can able this.i have tried

Yup. Confirmed. Yahoo video chat works. The only 2 apps for video chat pc-phone/phone-pc are MOVICHA and yahoo video. A great phone to phone is TANGO available on the market.

Skype did just acquire QIK so maybe they'll work the programs together.

Is Fring an OK program? Battery power wise??

My dad has the same phone as me and I want to get the most out of it.. So far we both have TIKL (a walkie talkie type of program) and tried QIK before (and hated it)
We just both tried out "FRING" and it seems to be really nice..
I just want to make sure is not going to hurt the battery..
I unchecked everything off in the settings, and only going to use it after my dad and I decide to do a video chat.
I am not looking to use it for friends and people that want to just connect with me anytime..
Im not sure how these programs work though.. I checked running services under applications and its NOT running..
But I hate bad written programs and their seems to be a good handful (like QIK)
THANKS!!
Ok I tested some things out.. I unchecked some stuff off, from the fring settings.. Tried to have my dad contact me while I was off and visa versa, we were not able to contact each other because it said we were both offline.. I hope thats a good thing. I really don't want this thing killing my battery...
There is an option to exit and when I do it seems that it really does exit from the program..
If anyone has more information on this I would love to hear it.. THANKS
To be honest I only use qik for uploading videos. For video chat I use the yahoo messenger app, you can also use that to video chat with people on the pc.

Cant get any video chat to work on Gtab! Can anyone help?

I Have been trying to install the Vid Chat after flashing the CM rom on my GTab. I download yahoo messenger, but my market doesnt show the plugin and when I do find an apk for it and install it, it says that i need an updated version and redirects me to the market, where it doesn's show what I need. Also, when i download Fring, it will not open. Force close error mssg pops up. Any help would be appreciated. I bought this tablet again bc I saw there were finally roms avail for it and hoped to be able to vid chat. I see where some can and some cant.
Search in the themes forum for 'reelportal'. That works OK. You'll need the Air apk and the reelportal apk from that thread.

thanks, ill give that a try

Im running CM7, can anyone help??

[Q] Video Chat

Is there an .apk that works on gTablets for video chat? The camera on my unit does not have much use without the app. Would appreciate the APK and/or hack directions.
There is TANGO, I have it installed on my gtab but have yet to use it because no one on my contacts has video chat capabilities.
Thanks, but...
I need a video chat app that works with PCs as well as mobile devices, Tango only works with mobile phones (right now anyway).
Any othersolutions out there?
Search for "reelportal" in themes forum.

Yahoo msg app works, with the video add on.
No problem using yahoo with video attachment for me.

Feedback/update
Yahoo Messenger looks promising (I need to sign up the rest of the family in order to have someone to video chat with). But both the application and the video add-on were in my version of Market.
Reelportal's application is a challenge because I cannot download the Adobe AIR 2.5.1; it's not inmy Market and the hyperlink in the posting does not offer an ".apk" file - just all the other OS options.
Also, for those that may be wondering: on yahoo messenger, even though your screen shows you facing sideways on the G-Tab, the other viewer is able to see you facing the correct direction, so don't worry.

Hi,
I was looking for a video chat app awhile ago, and that (sideways video) was what I found with Yahoo Messenger. That was why I suggested reelportal, which multiple folks tried/tested, per that thread in the "Themes" forum.
Jim
Sideways video is fixed if you are using the g-sensor fix. The fix is already part of roms like TNT lite and Vegan.

Hope that helps.
When I use yahoo messenger, it does not recognize incoming calls. When I call another user, they do not see any incoming calls. Anyone else experiencing this?
Tried oovoo and fring, nothing but static.
Yep, Yahoo doesn't always connect and just hangs up. The few times it connected the audio didn't work and just made a bunch of clicking noise. Using TnTLite 4.2.4. I tried Fring and it just locks up. OOVOO can't see the camera and just hangs up even on voice calls. Basically, nothing works so far. Seems to be some kind of audio driver bugs or the apps aren't using it right.

As Jim suggested, perhaps try ReelPortal. Many had it working fine. If I recall correctly, one person was able to video conference between the gTab with 3 other PCs. Here's the thread:

Bingo. Most of them like tango and fringe do not utilize native code correctly making it a nightmare to use.

Odd, I'm using TNT Lite (4.2.1 I think), and I still get the sideways view on Yahoo Messenger. It doesn't bother me any though since, like I said, the viewer sees me the correct way.

[Q] v3.1 Google Talk Video Chat

Has anyone had a chance to try Xoom to Xoom Google Talk Video Chat to see if there have been any improvements?
Prior to the upgrade, the video quality wasn't good and the voice was getting cutoff even if using a headset. If either one was using a PC it worked fine.
My other friends with Xooms aren't around since I got the upgrade so I haven't had a chance to try it. I'm looking for others who've had a chance to use it for some feedback. Thanks.
just check urself with a computer, if u have 2 gmail accounts
on ur comp, install the google video gmail plugin, den login to gmail frm comp
n den send video chat invite from comp to xoom, or xoom to comp, either way
1 thing i wud like 2 know is, how to chat n video at the same time, without the video pausing every time u wanna chat
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't see any improvement since its an application that hasn't been updated for a bit, and it's the same version from before the update. I use it quite a bit from xoom to xoom and xoom to pc.
Only problem im having with the Talk app is force closes while doing group chats

[Q] Video Chat Options

I have the Transformer on Android 3.1 and I can not for life of me find anything that uses the webcam for video chat. Google Voice, Qik, Skype none of them either show up in the market or allow video chat...
Are there any apps that work? Why have a front facing cam if you can't video chat?
Thanks for the help!
Another issue you will likely have is the microphone is not sensitive enough for conversations.
Can you give Google Talk another look. I've been doing video chat with my brothers (just one minor issue, the built-in microphone sucks. I hope Google will add a Gain-setting). If the other party has a video capability, Talk will allow you to do video.
I just looked for google talk in the market this morning. It does not show up at all.

Gotcha... I have prime 1.5 is there a way to get it installed?
Look in your apps folder? It's on Prime.
I think you're not looking hard enough.

It's just called Talk. Some people have a hard time finding it because it's not branded with Google before it.
Talk works perfectly for text, voice and video communication. Together with Google+, there's a really awesome way to grab a few friends or co-workers and video conference on the fly.
I use fring and it worked fine

Talk is preinstalled on the TF.
If you search there's a version of Yahoo Messenger floating around that work just fine.
I have use both Talk and Yahoo IM and both work great with the built in mic
So does this work with Google+ Hangout!?
I'd like to be able to use Google+ Hangout on here... that'd be sweet.
