Cant get any video chat to work on Gtab! Can anyone help? - G Tablet General

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.

I noticed that reelportal posted on the elocity a7 forum more recently, or pm him if you need.

Yahoo! Mobile Messenger

I cannot find the cab file or installer for YMM. I searched for a few weeks now and everything points to AT&Ts page via the phone. I don't have AT&T and when I go to Yahoo it's just a page with no download. Only web based YM when clicked the link and Yahoo Go suck.... can anyone help?
I don't know of single app for yahoo messenger at least by yahoo anyway. I personally use Slick. Its currently in testing so its free and I have been using version .42 for some time now and havent had a single problem. You can download it at www.lonelycatgames.com
Works great for my yahoo messenger needs..
wow!! great yahoo messenger.. tq
Palringo
Is good for not just Yahoo, but MSN too download here
Here you go this is the Offical Instant Messenger from At&t
In Comes with Yahoo Messenger, Aol Instant Messenger, Windows Live Messenger
I have T-Mobile and it works the same I have the T-mobile brand also but its the same thing it just says T-Mobile instead of At&t for the header but the same program. Let me know if you have any questions...
Try Fring
Have you tried Fring. Try it you will not be disappointed. www.fring.com
What about battery consumption of these programs? I tryed fring and it kills my battery in a couple of hours (over 3G). Do you have any comparations?

thanks guys, I have parlingo on my Wizard G3 ROM already, but slick looks nice!
lil76, did you actually get it to work on WM65? I just installed yesterday, and while icon is there, launching it doesn't do anything. Doesn't freeze up, just does... nothing. Using a Dash rommed with Mobile 6.5.
Using Palringo in the meantime, but I truly loved that app for Yahoo/Live Messenger/AIM.

QIK to PC video chat

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.

Can you either please explain how you accomplished this or lead me in the direction to a walk through.

[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.

Facebook Log-in issue

For some reason I can log-in using the FB app fine, but I'm getting an error when I try to log-in for my sync. It says Log-in failed. Try later. It isn't a password issue because I use the same password to log-in with the app. I have to turn of FB sync or I keep getting the error in my Notification Bar. Anyone else seeing this issue? I'm sure it is something on FB's end, but why would it only affect log-in via Android settings and not the actual FB app or website?
i have this same problem on my atrix...its annoying.
I've been asking for days now, same problem. The only way I could sign in was through the data network and not Wi-Fi. Still can't sync as it gives me sync is experiencing problems both on Wi-Fi and network data.
Added: For giggles I went back to stock, just to see if it was a GB issue. Same problem, fyi.
Just got sync to work over data network.
Can't get it to work on wifi OR data. It sucks because all the apps that have share capabilities no longer show Facebook as an option, so I can't upload any vids or pics to my wall. Just took some cool videos of me at the motocross track that I wanted to post.
I saw somebody say you need to remove the samsung app from face book website under the website application settings. then remove the face book sync account and readd

Finally got logged in. Not sure what caused the issue, but looks like it was on FB's end and not the phone. Just noticed you can't upload videos directly to FB. Have to send them to YouTube first. That sucks.
Im sure glad I wasn't the only one with this issue, after a while of trying to figure it out, I'm pretty sure the best thing is to try again later, it'll work eventually...

I use FriendCaster Pro instead of the official Facebook app and you can upload videos.

I'll check it out, but I was referring to when you go into the Gallery. When you select Share there is a list of various sites (Photobucket, Gmail, etc.) you can upload to. Facebook is one of the choices in the list when it is a photo, but is not there for videos.

When you go to that share menu, FriendCaster Pro shows up for both video and photo.

[Q] gtalk video

I cant get the gtalk video chat to work.
My friend try to video chat me, but i do not receive the invitation to answer the call, i can hear is ring (he's just beside me) .. like i do not receive anything from the caller.
If i try to call him.. he receive my invitation and answer, then the screen goes blank with my cam on right corner (the same for him with his camera).. but nothing more.. again i do not seem to receive a confirmation or something like that..
Anyone is able to use gtalk video chat ?
Yes. I'm running on Prime 1.6 (android 3.1)
I hacked my G2x to use the video feature and used it last night. My G2x using 3G and my TF using WiFi.
Asus Transformer 3.1 pwnd
www.MiiWiiChat.com
www.SnapSiteAdmins.com
i had no problems running it on my stock 3.2
Ive tried plenty on mine, several roms and stock, it always works. sorry for the question but, have you checked if you had enabled video and voice in gtalk?

Also, is either an apps account. My apps account wouldn't work on the tablet
Yes I did
Ithink my tf101 might vhe an issue here.
My friend does not have the problem, he reveive my call, but the handshake is not complete due to my tf101

Thanks i was using two account on my gtalk. I deleted one, and used the other for test purpose on my pc and now i can engage discussion from one side or another.
It looks like the account i'm using on the pc (a hotmail account) was not working on android, i don't know why but now it works that way :
My true gmail / gtalk account on android, the hotmail/gtalk on my pc.
Thanks for you all.
Cool. I had to switch to my old gmail account for talk. I had been sycning with my apps account and it worked in the browser plugin but not the application. Hopefully Google will get off their collective asses and create the security tools for their apps accounts so I can do everything with it.
I have stock 3.1.
I cant make gtalk video chat to anyone but some of my friends can call me and i can accept there calls. It works fine if the video is started from there side (running windows 7).
