I was wondering if anyone knows why these programs are auto starting. I closed them via advanced task killer and they keep coming back.
They are:
- messages: I use handcent. I don't use the stock one, and I turned off notifications and defaulted handcent as my text program.
- com.coremobility.app.vnotes: not sure what this is.
- Sprint navigation: I have gps turned off.
I get the same thing plus Google Voice, Voice Dialer, Voicemail I have Google Voice set to never be used I never use Voice Dialer, and Voicemail just pops up occasionally

Uh, if you will never use Google Voice, then why in the world is it installed?
hanscent works off of the stock apps cache, it cant keep threaded convos without the stock (crap) app.
core.mobility.app.vnotes is visual voicemail
sprint nav is a pain and could be trashed at any time for better efficiency. Unneeded for those with google maps installed, imo
I have google voice set to never be used but that doesn't mean I never use it
google maps has navigation?
Is there anyway I can keep them from opening until needed?

google maps has text, not voice navi...thats enough for me. Google Navigation will have full navigation with voice.
as far as an autokill, I'm not sure what can be done to stop them. In autostarts, it shows you what environments some processes start in, and some seem quite unrelated (Sprint Navi starts with sms received). I'd say get taskiller free and pluck them off whenever you notice the phone getting laggy
Alright. Thanks.
is there a better navi we can download ( besides google maps )
What about a better keyboard?
So I was determined to figure out how to disable these apps from autostarting and I just figured it out. Ha. Now I just need to see if I can make it run with the install of fresh rom or if it will be a separate thing. I'll let you all know when I get it figured out.

I'm not sure on the navi, all of them are pretty heavy on the memory. Sprint Navi is quality, it's just bloated, IMO. I don't travel alot so it's not a necessity to me.
keyboard- the best is better keyboard, it's a paid app but it's an upgrade from stock. I'm still on stock and with the added speed boost from .7, it seems alot more precise

I have searched everywhere but can not find an answer,
Can the nexus s do video call through 3g from within the dialler like all the old phones used to do.
My wife really wants the phone but she is always doing video calls from her n97.
It doesnt say anything in the gingerbread manual about video calls so Im not sure if it will.
Anybody Know.
Yes. It will. Else whats Front Facing Camera for ?

Taking MySpace pics without the mirror in the bathroom, duuhh.
Rotflol.. Thats the best thing I have ever read !! hats off you man yes, they include FFCs to take own pictures !! LMAO !
just a question .. since when ? :O
Well the htc Evo had front facing cam, and you couldnt do normal video call.
Thats why im asking if anyone knows for sure yet.
Also iPhone has front can but can only do face time not
Proper 3g video call to anybody.
And in the gingerbread manual under calling it doesn't have an option for
Video call but it does have an option for voip call,
That's why I'm wondering if anybody knows.
Oh so u meant without any application ? My bad.
I doubt then. Nothing on the internet that suggests there is an android phone that does video calling without any application like Qik, Fring etc
But still .. taking pics was myspace was hilarious EPIC !
Dam man that sucks, so there is no point of the front cam in the end.
Is there an app dialer which can do normal video chat through 3g in which both phones dont need app ?
I really want my wife to get this phone but that is a deal breaker for her.

I'd guess, not at the beginning. From what I understand, front-facing camera (FFC) support is now enabled in the Camera application only, and possibly Video too.
The first app that will get video support is probably Google Talk; the current VoIP support seems, from all descriptions, to be voice-only. Hopefully we'd soon get video calls in Skype too, but that might take a while seeing as they just got around to releasing the voice-only client not too many months ago.[/QUOTE]
there is no application for video chat in stock gingerbread, You'll require a third party application such as yahoo messaging for video chat.
google supported video chat is coming with honeycomb, or possibly earlier with a google talk/voice update.
Please help.
Very new on Android and I'm trying to figure out the basic stuffs. Bought 2 of these tablet so I can do video chat with my wife and kids.
People have posted that Google talk works but I don't know how to set it up. I looked in the market and didn't see any Google talk app in there so I'm assuming that it's web-based. Googled it and didn't find any link that will set it up for me. I setup my browser (Dolphin HD) as either Android or Desktop and still can't find any link that will launch the app. I Also looked on these forums but can't find a set of instructions that work, just some posts that fix the issues.
An Idiot's guide will work for me.
I believe Google Talk was already loaded on mine. The icon is a speech bubble that says "Talk" in it. It works beautifully for video chat.
Check your installed apps, it should already have been installed on the device. It's apps called 'Talk.' It's one of Googles default apps, also one that can't be found on the market.

If for some reason you dont like google talk, tango is another free app in the market, and i like it quite a bit.

They may be cross mobile platform (iOS, Android), but not on PC. With google talk you can go tablet to PC. And soon it will be available for gingerbread phones. And hopefully it will get iOS support eventually and work on all platforms. Or, maybe skype will eventually get Android support.
Don't count on getting skype video for android now. They were working on a video chat version, but now Microsoft has just bought them.
Thanks akashhhh, for pointing out the Chat app on the TF. It looks promising. As soon as I can snatch the new TF back from my wife, I'll try it out. I may have to buy another one. She has taken possession of it, and won't let loose.

Great The only thing I still have to try if video is sent from one Android-Talk App to another... It doesn't work for the desktop at the moment and it doesn't work for the front camera... that's probably why Google just rolled it out for the Nexus S... I hope they'll fix that soon!

Vtok, out of the box, does not work at all for me. It gets to the contacts screen and displays all of nothing. As I understand it, those apps all require some sort of package file renaming that I am quickly growing weary of.
I appreciate the info. I'm really looking for a solid phone-to-desktop video chat client that has NOTHING to do with Yahoo--I abandoned them some time ago, and none of my contacts use them, either.
It just feels like the Google and Skype devs don't care whatsoever about our devices. I understand that the Tegra chips are sort of new in the Android world, but it feels like they are just being ignored when it comes to apps that utilize the hardware.

Unless I'm missing something here, the GTalk part of Fring doesn't allow video calls. I am completely not interested in phone-to-phone video calls, as no one I know has a phone with a front-facing camera. I'm looking for phone-to-desktop solutions, and I don't see a desktop Fring client--not that I'd accept that option because Google and Skype are fully capable of video calls. If my contacts have to sign up and install some new service then this is still a failure.

Nope. They don't need file renaming. You just need one file to be put in the framework folder and that's it.
Fyi, more phones and tablets are coming out with tegra 2 chips so what you are saying about "ignore" is a myth.
