[Q] [HOW] Yahoo Messenger with video call - G Tablet General

I tried the latest Vegan and CM 6.2 ROMS and I wasn't able to install a working official Yahoo Messenger with the video call.
I also force install it by downloading the APK of the yahoo messenger and the video call update apk. It installed but it didn't work.
I want to know if this will work since I still have time to return this g-tablet to Sears.
PS: what's the best Facebook app with widget support for the g-tab?

I was able to install Messenger and the video plugin from market this weekend, no problem.
Fyi, on Gtab-to-pc calls the video on the pc end was rotated 90 degrees.

I was able to install yahoo messenger just fine through the market. I just tested video calling and the PC user was able to see me just fine with no rotation issue. I'm using vegan b5.1 which also has the gsensor fix. I wonder if that fixes the rotation issue people may be having.

Hi,
That's both weird and good news ...
As mentioned above, I was on stock 3053 at the time, no gsensor fix, so it's possible what you said.
There's a thread under Apps about video calling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882637&highlight=video
and can I suggest you post that info there? Seemed like a few people interested in it.

I tried..
I can't see the official yahoo messenger app on the market so I downloaded the apks online instead.. I Installed them. I lauched it but then it says that the app is outdated and it redirected me to the market but that link to the market wont show anything since not all apps will show on the gtab.
Didn't work on CM6.2 either.

Sounds like you need to do the market fix. Yahoo messengers is one of the apps I check to verify if the market fix was applied correctly or not.

I thought market is fixed once I install third party ROM such as vegan or CM.

Problem Solved!
Part Three – Install Flash and fix Android Market
This is needed to view websites with Flash based content, and to download apps from the market. (Fairly obvious, I know, but just in case somebody doesn't know.) Log in/set up your Google Account before trying the market fix (steps vary on the ROM you are using…in most cases you can access the web accounts by opening the Contacts app, pressing the menu button (the one above the back button), and selecting accounts).
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.
Step 3.
Open the Market app. Once it loads close it (press the home button).
Step 4.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Google Services Framework – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 5.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Market – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 6.
Go back to your home screen and open up the market. You should get an error. If not, redo steps 3 and 4 until you do.
Step 7.
Reboot your device. After it starts back up let it sit for a minute or two to let things in the operating system normalize. Open the Market. Reboot your device.
Step 8.
Open the market again and enjoy. You now have Flash and the Android Market. (Keep in mind, this is not the FULL market, it just makes around 99% of it available. It is unknown which apps are not available. There is a full market fix, but it is MUCH more complicated).

I followed this and everything is working fine now...
Thank for the help..
-- just clicked all the "THANKS" button!

Although I applied the market fix previously. I searched for yahoo messenger again on the market and didnt find it. I had to reapply the fix once again for it to show.

After the awesome fix POST # 11... the Gtab with the latest TnT and unlock market worked for a day and started me giving pop up errors every app click/open.. The virtual keyboard isn't showing up also. I got pissed and returned it to Sears..
Now CES 2011 is showing me so many cool honeycomb tablets, it must be a blessing in disguise.

Quick newb question. Need a simple answer so i can do market fix

I installed the performance pack that goes with the stock tnt 3389 last night.
I am ready to do the market fix, i have read the instructions and am good to go.
Just one problem, i was a long time iphone user and do not have an android market account. All three of the "how to" guides on here remind me that i need to have that done first.
I did a search around the web on how to set up an android market account and saw a few things that seeem to indicate you set it up by launching the market app on your android device....since i have no such device, how do i set up my market account so i can start the market fix?
Sorry, i am an INCREDIBLE newb i realize.
Thanks in advance for the help.

My market account is my Gmail address and password which I had before I had an android phone. Have you set up a Gmail account and then tried to enter that info when setting up the market
Yeap.
When i run the fix it goes like this.
1) Run the fix
2) Launch Market
3) Market launches google services framework and asks me to sign in
4) I get an error message that my device does not have proper connectivity.
I have confirmed my gmail id and password are correct.
Ok, thanks for the answer.
At this point it seems i am messing up step or two while applying the fix outlined in the 3389 Performance pack thread.
Ill try it a few more times and then its Off to install titanium back up and try that method!

follow the directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885940
if you are prompted to login to google services framework after doing the market fix, you are not doing the fix correctly - you must be logged into google services framework before doing the market fix
Try a reboot after you do the market fix, I had the same issue with it saying you don't have a proper connection, i rebooted, got that message again, tried to get in market a couple times and then it worked.
As for a market account, yes you sign in with your gmail account, if you don't have one, i think you can sign up for one when doing the market setup.
Are you sure your WiFi is enabled and connected?
Well..
Last night i was using the hotel wi-fi and i was able to stream from tv.com so i assumed my connection was working.
Today i am at the hospital.
i have something new to report...it TOOK my gmail and password and moved to the next step (finally).
However i am greeted with a solid white screen and the word "loading" with a little loading animation next to it. This was on a FRESH boot up, and the loading screen/animation has been going on for about 5 minutes.... (attempting to do the first step in the fix which is to run market)...
Attached screenshot.
I aborted after this went on for 15 minutes.
Launched the market a SECOND time and...viola. It came up.
Ran the fix.
Rebooted
Connected to the wi fi
Ran the market
Got a server error.
Closed market
Ran the market AGAIN.
It is working now.
Lets chalk this one up to connectivity issues going on in the back ground while i was running the fix!
I am good now.
Hey everyone thanks for your help with my initial question and guiding me along the way so that i knew i wasn't out in left field some where!
Happy now.

The new Market looks sweet on our GTablets!
Full-screen in landscape is awesome (many of the apps on mine also go to fullscreen on it).
I just wish I could get TV.com on here somehow. It doesn't show up in the Market and I have no idea where the [.apk]s are in my Nexus One (or on my GTablet either, I'd love to get Swiftkey Pro as my keyboard).
I am able to watch tv pretty good on tv.com using the web site.
Hulu is still a project i am working on...right after getting MS exchange to work and picking out a favorite browser. (not sure about this dolphon, although do like gesture. does xscope do gesture as well?).

AppBrain and Android Market (on PC) issues, no phone install

So I love the idea behind AppBrain and now Android Market (on pc) but I can't get either to work with my phone. Both sync my apps to their website but neither will install the apps I choose onto my phone. Android Market shows the app as installed and adds it to the list while AppBrain says "...error sending the app to the phone..."
I thought it was first the program but now I'm wondering if it's a phone setting I need to change. I have installed and turned on Fast Web Installer and I have made sure I am logged into Google Voice but nothing has helped. I searched around but all other similar problems look like they were solved with an update a while back. Any ideas?
I have a Droid 1 running CynogenMod v6.1.2 with P3Droid kernel LV1.2
Google did some sneaky stuff in the 2.2 android update that disabled the AppBrain Fast Web Installer. The latest version of AppBrain is supposed to have the feature back, but I haven't got it to work either. If you turn off fast Web Install you can brows and create install lists on the AppBrain website and then just click the "INSTALL" button a few times in the app. This makes it easier than browsing the market on your phone, but is still not perfect. I'm just waiting for AppBrain to fix the latest fix so it actually works again. It used to work so well
AppBrain Fast Web Installer is not working on my phone either.
Just to add to previous poster reply as it took me a few minutes to find how to disable Fast Web Installer (i tried uninstalling the application and searched on AppBrain site without success): you have to go into AppBrain app in Preferences/Disable Fast Web Install.
As for Android Market it's woking fine. I haven't changed any setting to get it to work.

Worked for me.
Thanks

Skeptical at first but I did see all the apps show up he mentioned. None of those would show up before either. Very cool.
My market worked right out of the box with Vegan 5.1.1. Those apps you listed above were downloaded to my gTab the day after my ROM install, no hack required. Hmmm....
I am also running VEGAn beta 5.1.1. At first a lot of apps didn't show up in my Market but then after I booted into recovery with ClockworkMod then erased all data, then erased cache, then erased delvik cache, then reflashed VEGAn beta 5.1 and rebooted, then booted into recovery again and flashed the VEGAn 5.1.1 update and rebooted.
After all that all of the apps that didn't show before showed up for me including the elusive Samurai 2: Vengeance. Now all is well an my tab is running better than ever.
Naw... Didn't work for me. Running Adam 1.1.0.
All the apps listed in OP are there and were there in the beginning, can't find CoPilot thou, even with the changes....
Good try, thanks.
Did not work for me and I am using:
[ROM]Tnt G-Harmony-Gingerbread Elements(Updated-1/22)
I wish it would though, thanks for trying.
I was going to try this out but I found all of the apps you posted. I just ran the vegan update supplemental. I don't know if that made a difference though. I don't remember firefox showing up when I made the switch to vegan a few weeks ago. That is the bad thing about getting old, can't remember.
I still can't find dolphin HD on the market. I had to download it from freeware lovers. Themes, walpapers, all sorts of dolphin add ins show up but not the browser.
Did not work for me using vegan as well
This does work on vegan 5.1.1 found dolphin hd, copilot, and everything else i searched for. good info
Google Earth?
I did your fix and I can now see Angry Birds in the Market, which I couldn't see before. I'm running Vegan 5.1.1.
Can anybody here see Google Earth in the Market? It's not showing up for me.
Based on my research the market is doing some decision making server side now. Curious to see how that pans out for these fixes.
Hmm Tank Hero shows up but Super Manager still does not. However, other apps by its publisher do show up.
The only thing not showing up for me on the market from the attached pics is Mulit-picture-live, and I didnt apply this fix.
I used the method posted from the video on another thread.
Running Vegan5.1.1 and having a lot of stuff not show up in Market. IMDB, Flixster Movies, NFS Shift, SIMI clock, Launcher Pro and many other odds and ins. I do see things like Gun Bros., Sims 3, Samurai Vengence, Fruit Ninja and others.
App Brain, as many other sites, push me into the market for downloads and I end up with Not Found messages. I try to go around this and use Market from the web - where I can find absolutely everything. However, when you try to install from web the market forces you to select you device - Vega Tab - is the option that displays in the drop down and it is typically followed by message - device is not compatible with app.
So...any thinking on how to change our identifier from Vegan Tab to Xoom or something that would have full access to the Market? My biggest frustration with ViewSonics tab isn't the hardware or the ROMS, its Google themselves.
This is so bizarre. First of all this didn't work for me on Vegan 5.1.1.
What's really weird is that I wiped and reinstalled Vegan 5.1 and the update to 5.1.1 this morning, did the usual clear data and cache on market and framework and then I did see Angry Birds, and Gun Bros, but I didn't install them.
It's literally only about 6 hours later, and I can't see those now, not having made any changes.

Not to burst any bubbles.... but I turned on my g-tab today, went to the Market, and it asked for me to read the T&Cs and click Accept. I said, 'oh no'. But upon accepting, I am seeing all the stuff you said, and a lot of stuff I didn't before (like Stupid Zombies fer instance). With most things with the Market, I blame/give credit to...google.
I should add... I have tried to add a bunch of apps that I can now see... Firefox, Stupid Zombies, Gmail and Jumpgate Live Wallpaper... and they are all stuck on Starting download. Also had previously added Tegra Zone from the web market, and it hasn't shown up.
And another update... so with things stuck, I did a typical market fix. Well that made all but the Gmail downloads disappear. But Gmail wasn't downloading still. Eventually it did, a re-start or two later. Tegra Zone, which is listed as being downloaded on my account, never showed. And when I try to install now from the web, it says it is incompatible. *sigh*
Worked for me. Needed step nine tho. Still not the full market tho. I still don't see apps I get on my sprint hero.
Z Tab, latest version from these forums. The market works the same as before trying.

[Q]Please, help getting the market place to work.

I've just installed clockworkMod v08 and TnT Lite v4.2.5, following the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I been able to successfully complete all the steps up until you need to open the market place app.
I installed adobe flash player or atleast it seems to work; both newgrounds and bbc news video loaded just fine.
Whenever I try to load the Market Place or Gmail, the screen just flashes and returns to the same screen where I selected the app to begin with.
I suspect that my mistake is something painfully obvious, but I haven't figured it out yet. I believe, I haven't done the following:
Log in/set up your Google Account before trying the market fix
I tried doing this using the contact app, and this did import all my phone contacts, but I'm not sure.
Can someone please tell how I need to go about setting up my Google Account on the G-Tablet now that I'm running TnT Lite v4.2.5?
Thought I would ask before attempt the two alternative methods link in the bottom of the guide I linked to early my post.
Thanks.
tap the MENU
tap SETTINGS
tap ACCOUNTS & SYNC
You can then add your Google account(s)

I don't see an accounts and sync tap in the setting page. The closest I've seen is a family accounts.
Market fix is the one downside to my Gtab. Every time Google updates the app site...I have to do a fix. Last fix borked my tab so bad, all of my system and purchased apps all FC'd on me.
Did my wipe, re-installed tnt 4.2.5 used Titanium BU to restore all my apps and now I too can't locate the sync option. I know it use to be there, but now it's MIA as well.
what ROM are you running on your GTablet?
I'm running VEGAn b1 5.11 and have no problem with accessing the Market (It just doesn't show many of the apps that I have access to when accessing through my Android phone).
TnT lite 4.2.5. and I have the same issue you have. Market site only shows the apps that did an update after the restore was done. I still have 15 more apps that don't up in market place under "my apps", and it's been 3 days since I did my restore and market fix.
One thing I did notice w/ the fix is that it took on avg. 48 hrs for my device to show back up under my devices in the market place. This is now the longest I've gone w/ it not showing up.

Question How to sync Google Keep with Watch 4 Classic

I have installed Keep on my watch it just says notes syncing. I have granted files permission. Anyone got Keep working? Phone is Note 20 ultra 5g android 10.
How did you install on watch? I tried multiple ways with no success. When I go out to play page I'm only able to install to phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.keep
Play store on watch
I have installed Google keep on watch and it has synced my notes, however it is missing a Search button/function which makes the app worthless for me...

How did you install it? Did you have to change any permissions or anything on the phone to get it to sync?
Hi, I don't remember any specific issues, just went to the Play store and tapped on the option available/install on other devices (GW4). If you have issues, you may try to look up the APK (from APKmirror or similar) and ADB side load it on the watch. As I have tried sideloading on the watch also the phone app (because of the missing search function on the watch app) and it opens but does not seem to be able to search either and frequently crashes maybe because of insufficient RAM. Finally I tried using a chrome browser app on my watch (sideloaded again from a watch APK) and by using the web interface of Google Keep and it works but is a mixed experience due to interface not being optimized for a watch/ circular screen etc
Anyone have any luck getting Google Keep to stop syncing? I've tried reinstalling on the watch and phone, clearing various caches, etc. No luck. I only have five notes, so it shouldn't be a heavy lift.
I´ve also installed keep on my GW4 from the play store on the watch. And it also keeps syncing. When I´m fast enough after app start and click on one of my 3 notes, it opens and I can edit successfully.
I had these issues in the past also on notes for smartphone but on some update they fixed it. I guess we have to wait for an app update from Google. In the meantime, we´ve to pull out our smartphone during shopping
Similar to the previous post, if I open Keep and quickly select "Show All", it'll of course post the "Syncing" banner.
But then, I leave the app (right swipe), open Keep again and quickly scroll down my Notes before the banner can display, I'll see my million+ notes.
Sometimes I have to re-enter the app again and scroll quickly to the bottom of the list again before the banner displays, but it'll work - at least for me.
Hope this helps!
And I hope Google fixes this! Don't they test their code??
Have the same issue. Literally nothing works on this POS.

Got an update to Keep on the phone today, and it appears to have fixed the syncing issue! You'll have to uninstall Keep from your watch, then re-install it, but so far so good!
