[APPS] New talk with voice and video from gb 2.3.4!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
Confirmed working on my nexus one, although I didn't have a chance to test video and voice (where are my friends?)

awesome! go go go!

I have installed the flashable update file.
Voice chat works, audio quality is very good.
I don't test video chat

Nexus One doesn't have front camera!!!

I forgot about that one +1

The voice wasn't working for me. The video was but I could only see their video, they couldn't see mine.
EDIT: Scratch that. Voice works both ways. Video still only works one way and I still don't appear to the user to have voice/video capability, but I can call them.

It installs okay for me. Running superaosp v6.2, but the voice chat options are grayed out. Maybe because of my rom?
Edit: okay now it's working. Weird.

If you have a 2.3 rom on it, it might. It seems 2.3.4 might be required for it to work 100% though. If you are running 2.2.x or lower, it won't work since it uses the new camera API in Gingerbread.

Does this enable me to dial to any phone number using my Google Voice account (ie no cell phone minutes) similar to the function in Gmail on a PC?

I think it works only on WIFI. If I try calling someone on mobile data, it asks for WIFI connection. Anybody else having this issue. Sorry if I am missing something very basic here ( CM 7.0.2)

Guys try vtok (available in the Android market) .. it works and handles both cameras with ease in gtalk.

There's a wifi plus 3g version floating around xda somewhere.
I'm using it and work well with 3G

Can you please post the apk or link of the[forum thread. I tried searching but could not locate the specific thread. QUOTE=baseballfanz;14287497]There's a wifi plus 3g version floating around xda somewhere.

No voice nexus one
Tried several versions on my nexus one:
gtalk1.3.nowifi.ffc-signed.zip
JVQ_Talk2_v1_2.zip
talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip
used adb to install
All claim to be talk1.3
But I don't see any voice icon, and in a chat, selecting 'more' shows voice chat is grayed out.
I DID enable voice/video.
Only thing I can think of is I'm on 3g, not wifi ATM. But several of these versions should allow voice on 3g, right?

How to Videocall from Sensation to PC

Hi,
does anyone know how i could do that ??
whith fring it "was" possible to talk from cellphone to PC using skype protocoll.
fring on cellphone to skype app on PC via wifi. but that isnt supported anymore from skype or fring.
does anyone has another solution ?

I asked the same question and no body answer. This mean there is no solution for right now. Yahoo does not support it yet and Skype is same so there is nothing will work until the phone release tomorrow. then we have to wait some times till they release the source and hopefully something will work out.

have u tried skype or somthing similar to Tango ?

i tried fring ... and the dunny thing is fring supported it some weeks ago ...
then when i tried it skype gave a blog to the internet which said that skype doenst want this anymore so they skipped support or disabled it for fring ...
that terrible
and from skype (phone) to skype (pc) works . but only voice chat , no video !!!

VTOK works great.. as long as you have a google account (which for sensation users should pose no problem) and the PC end has video chat for gmail installed.

One app I use thats been great for Videocall to Pc is oovoo! give it a try

PC to Phone - Phone to PC Video Calling
I've been using Yahoo! Messenger for video calling. You need the yahoo video plugin installed in your android device.

Does it support front facing camera?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Qik has a desktop version that (I think) runs through Adobe Air, though I haven't tried it myself. And since they are owned by Skype, I'm hoping Skype cross-app support comes or they get integrated into one app or something.

I sue VTOK, talk to anybody with a Gmail account/Google Talk and the video Chat plug in. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread about this floating around, because I responded in that one as well. Maybe that's why there's fewer replies in this one.

I tried VTOK for a day. realized that it stays running all the time even when logged out & drains the battery

Skype will be the program for that. Install the latest version on your pc and moded version of skype on your sensation that supports both front and back cameras. It is called TBolt_GB_ Skype.apk

Skype with video calling!! UPDATE: now officially supported on the market.

I didn't make this work, I take no credit for it. I just distribute it to the masses. I found this on the Galaxy Tab forum and thought if it works on my Tab, why not my phone too? So I tried and it does! The video freezes when you switch to the back camera but other than that its seems to work fine. Have fun!

Someone reported that this doesn't work on froyo. Apparently after installing this on froyo the legit version couldn't be reinstalled. So proceed with caution.
Someone found a link to get it working on froyo. I haven't verify it works because I'm not on froyo.

i'll check it out right now
UPDATE: First, i can't video call out, i have to receive it. Second, it forse closes when you try to answer with video. I'm running Bionix Black Ice and Bali 3.2UV. I would try Trigger but they're both KD1 based ROMs so i don't think it will change. I might flash KF2 just for this though.

Nope for me...
For me, on stock kd1 + root, it crashes skype as soon as I use video (initiate a video call, or touch the video icon). It won't receive video either when the other side starts their video.
PS: I already had skype installed (latest from Market), and even after uninstalling it would not install at first, giving a message about not enough available storage (even though there was plenty). The fix was to remove the /data/data/com.skype.raider directory that somehow was not removed when the app was uninstalled... The same was needed after uninstalling this one to go back to the Market version.

Works perfectly on KF2, thanks for telling everyone about this.

Has anyone tried mobile to pc calling? Or is this only mobile to mobile?

I noticed it's a GB only thing or are people successful on froyo? Based on the official update it looks like a GB only app. Still skeptical about the kf2 leak but this and netflix would be well worth it for me.

To answer my own question I have no luck on stock froyo.

Skype itself on the computer.
Don't update skype mobile!

skype video calling not allowed

why is it that htc sensation cannot make video calls like htc desire s using skype?

It's unfortunately the new kind of fragmentation (I hate that word too, but heck, it's the truth). App developers are now rolling out apps to specific devices of their choice in whatever order they please.
In this case, they didn't release Skype for the Sensation yet. If you can't get one of the floating modded versions to work, you'll have to settle for Tango or Qik. Both of those are working great too, especially Qik now that it finally works

thank you for your reply..

Doesn't Qik use your minutes

Look for this apk: skype_2_0_0_47-signed.
I was using it on Friday without any problems, but I can't test it today because my screen has gone dead and will have to exchange my phone tomorrow.

Is it normal for Skype video calling that only works normal in landscape mode? In portrait mode, it's rotated for 90'. Any soloutions for this?

(Question) Skype not receiving audio from the microphone?

I've recently got this phone after selling my mytouch 3g slide to use as a backup phone, and yesterday, I noticed when I was using skype, the phone can't hear me, I tried the skype test call and calling people on skype. I'm running sensei's sense

There is one version that is actually working on SK4G. Found it somewhere here, on XDA, but can't remember original thread. Hope it's OK to post external URL here: http://xdjh.info/ftp/share/apk/skype_for_SK4G.apk
You need to set 'Use MODE_ON_CALL' in 'Tweaks', audio works fine with that. Both cameras works too. I've tested this software on RAGE firmware - everything works.
