[Q] Google Talk w/video - T-Mobile LG G2x

Has anyone managed to get the new gtalk with video working with the gingerbread leak? I've got the app installed and running fine, but can't establish a voice or video connection. Reading through other device sections it seems as though some are having success on 2.3.3 roms.
Is this something we'll need an updated kernel for?

I have tried it on the gb leak as well as cm7 which is 2.3.4 and I cannot get the video/audio to work either

ROM 1.6 Donut

http://forum.androidcentral.com/spr...eek-working-donut-cdma-hero-12.html#post35717
If you guys haven't seen it, i'm in the process of installing itn ow to check it out.
To clairfy its not perfect, but it's got everything working but bluetooth. Still has some bugs, but its in the process.
been using this ROM since yesterday. Works very well. It was also covered on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622523
Yep. Its in the rom wiki. I'm actually running it now.
Used fresh kitchen to push googlebits. Its pretty fast, like some of the changes, not the keyboard. I would like to see this rom with espresso.
Oh i didnt notice it was on the wiki, honestly i never check it.
Do you guys know if it has the market, or is the only way to put apps on it is manually
Edit: After reading through the read i saw my answer, nevermind.
You have to manually install all of the google apps then you will have market.

Just finishing doing that. Have to say, 1.6 is fast. I have no use for bluetooth personally, so i think i may rock thier for a while if it stays this stable.
You can fix the dictionary by flashing this file Flipz hooked us up with:
http://www.4shared.com/file/178486181/ca22758f/ime_update-signed.html
Reboot after.
If for whatever reason that doesn't work (i was flashing/re-flashing for a while prior to ensuring this fix did the trick) here is the original post by Flipz with good instructions on manually fixing the dictionary.

Thank you for that, i just applied it.
Do you happen to have the original post? After applying that, the onscreen keyboard doesnt come up anymore? theres no keyboard installed according to the phone.
Yeah, it is pretty slick. I would really like sense mixed in though.
i am personally tired of sense, i would LOVE this if bt worked
i used it everyday t work (I work at sprint) and I use it every night on phone..
Love Sense but after trying this ROM I can't believe how much faster things work with Vanilla - wouldn't miss Sense at all. What I WOULD miss is the HTC Music Player, Calendar, and Dialer.
And HTC Keyboard....Couldn't get touch input to work on this ROM.
headphones not working
I just installed the 1.6 ASOP and did the whole signed download after loading and everything but I cannot get my headphones to register on the phone when ever i listen to music it just comes out of the speaker not headphones any one else with this problem
I can confirm that..That is a bummer. Back to fresh

Opps, sorry for that. Here is the original post from Flipz. I was afraid that it would not work. Follow his instructions and then adb push it over. This I can assure you works.
figures...just whiped Thanks though!

I wanna run this as my daily but without bt i cant even think about it :/

[Q] Who Do I Have To Harass To Get A Working PC To Android Video Call App

Ive had this phone for 3 weeks now and ive become frustrated with the lack of video call apps this phone has. Tango sucks, yahoo doesnt have ffc support, fring sucks, and skype doesnt have ffc support. All it says is coming soon for gingerbread. they are trying to develop a script hack over here to get it working early but i havent heard a update on it. do we really have to wait for verizon to get their working version first in order to pull the apk from it or something?
Or is there a PC to android video call app i looked over in the market.
yahoo messenger works with live video (tried from SGS I9000 to PC)
the video unfortunately it only works in froyo 2.2
it's not yet updated to support 2.3

ok so that doesnt help me none. 2.3 is pretty much useless right now.
Just out of interest what dont you like about Tango, I thought it ok although it was my first foray into video calling

you cant "tango" with people on a computer.
Ahh I see, have you emailed the dev to ask them if this could be implemented?
T-Mobile's flavor of Qik now supposedly supports the SNS....is there a PC client for this? If so I'm also interested.

[APP] [01 July] Skype with Video Calling - WORKING

I take no credit or responsibility for this. I found it
You know the drill, it's not my problem if this melts your brain or your Tab
Simple. Skype with video calling support.

Consensus says to uninstall previous version before installing this one
Enjoy

Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
confirmed video not working on:
1.Better than life mod by oldmacnut on my cdma VZW SGT (2.2 froyo)
2. Stock VZW rom (2.2 froyo)
3. SGT Honeycomb 2.5 (3.0 Honeycomb) [cameras dont work so no way to test]
Hi I don't think skype video works below 2.3 gingerbread...correct me if I am wrong.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Downloaded & confirmed it's working. I even tried doing video calls with PC. Everything went well.
Thanks!!
Please add it to next overcome Firmware version.
This was tested on my GSM Tab running Overcome (Gingerbread) but it should work on any Gingerbread ROM (I don't know about Froyo). I logged in with another Skype account on my PC and two way video chat works the way it should
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using Overcome Hermes
I try it , its ok. video very god quality. SGT Gingerbread Overcome v2.0.1-HERMES
thanks
Works on mine too but back camera is not working. Everytime i switch from front to back camera it gives blank pic and cant switch to front again. Any solutions?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Back camera doesn't work here as well. Front works well.. only way for me to switch back to front from back camera was to put the call on hold then un hold to reset the camera.
I hadn't tried the back camera when I tested before posting but you seem to be right

i can confirm its not working. I tried a workaround with disabling front before activating the back camera but it didn't help. But I don't care its awesome to finally have the front camera working
thx so much

[Q] ETA for 2.3.4?

I am wondering if anyone knows when a 2.3.4 rom will come out because that is when google added official support for video chat to talk. I know I can use apps like qik, etc, but my wife would really like to be able to do phone>PC chat so she can talk to our niece.
So far the apps I've found that do phone>pc chat don't support the sensation yet. I was hoping root would help me get a proper 2.3.4 rom.
There is a hacked version of gtalk that make it posible to use audio chat and see video chat of others but the sensation cam wont work.
Just search for gtalk video chat 2.3.3
Just try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062980
In case gTalk doesn't work with HTC Sensation, And if you want to use skype for video call from phone to PC, you can download a "special" version of skype in the link below:

Hopefully it works for you. I know mine works!

[Q] IM doesn't work over 3G but the browser does

Any idea why this happens? Chrome Beta and the stock browser works fine but none of the following works over 3G/HSPA:
Facebook Chat
Google Talk
Nimbuzz
Whats App
Is this with the stock ROM that you are seeing this?
Yup... just got the device yesterday. Haven't modded a thing yet. I'm also gonna leave a comment in the switching HSPA/3G thread. I'm experiencing that too.
Btw... I'm in Jamaica.
Maybe your provider is blocking VOIP ports and possibly gchat works on VOIP port?
Someone chime in please..
Seems so, I checked on another forum we got out here... the network I'm on is in the testing phase, they haven't launched the service fully just yet.
