What options do I have for Video Chat with other phones, IE the EVO? Can the built-in Qik Video Chat work with Qik on the Evo? Etc...
Thanks

Would let u know right now. Hold on

This device should be one of the first to get gingerbread, how else are you going to brag about a camera when it barely works with other devices?

Qik is fully integrated into the phones software so that looks to be the best option.

Tango is AWESOME!!! Qik is integrated but only works with other MT4g users.

Don't think that Skype works on Android at all for Video.

I think you can use Yahoo Messenger, but I'm not positive.

Ok it would appear that video is grayed out when you are video chatting between phone and computer on Messenger.
ARGH

Spoke to a t-mo rep today and while my order for this phone was being filled she told me that you could use qik to vidchat with a pc.
That is a rep talking so take it fwiw.

Whoa, you serious? My friend has an Evo 4G and in my contact book it shows that I am able to Qik chat with him.

Tango is the s###. Use the yahoo chat to video call with a pc

I haven't got the phone to try it yet but she said something about going to qik.com on the pc. I don't know if there was any software to install though.

How? (10 chars)

Check the MicroSD card that came with the phone, there's some QIK stuff on there, I believe it's labeled Qik PC Client.

How can you do it with Yahoo?

[Q]

Anyone find a good video chat app for GTab? I installed Skype from the new market app that came with the update, but it appears to be voice only, for some ridiculous reason...
Thanks in advance.

Yeah skype hasn't come through with video chat yet. The nice people on the board pointed me to yahoo messenger, and it works fine. Would rather skype or use fring but it will have to do.

Thanks Nospin. Suspect we'll see some updated apps as Viewsonic gets the word out.

Which app to sign into two Google Talk accounts simultaneously?

I have a work email and personal.
Thanks!

Any of the multi IM clients should be able to handle this.
Try IM+ - https://market.android.com/details?id=de.shapeservices.impluslite

[Q] Problems adding Facebook account on Verizon model

Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks

looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.

I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho

Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?

Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.

Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?

Working real facebook app for transformer

as you know fb is no longer on the market, i thought i would put a working apk for yall to enjoy. be sure to add thanks!

Only error I had was right after it installed. It FC'd on me one time. Ever since then it has been working just fine.

Work great thanks

It does. Facebook doesn't make the app for 3.x so this is the version for Android 2.x.x.

it works like a charm, thanks mate
//TFT Prime 1.6

Thanks for this OP. I was disappointed that I couldn't get fb to work anymore without using the browser.
I installed it without uninstalling my existing fb app first and it didn't work. It FC every time I opened it.
After uninstalling and reinstalling again, it now works like a charm.
Gave "Thanks"

Thanks for this
Was too lazy to take it off the phone so I've been suffering with FriendCaster

They became lazy once they get big. Looking at FB, I can see the next MySpace.

Does anyone know if this means it will add sync for facebook contacts? Kinda missing that on my TF.
EDIT: Welp, I might as well should of just installed it to answer my own question. I did. It synced my contacts. Now I can post pictures to facebook.
This definitely is better for chat than the browser but I don't think it will notify correctly?
Anyway, thanks for posting the APK!

Me too. If I click Friends its going to FC. anyone else having the same issue?
