Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?
RW

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

Hi,

I purchased air attack hd and have come to play it tonight it is no longer on my phone and it has dissapeared from the market ... also noticed that crackle isnt available ...
ive checked on app brain and its still listed but when i click on go to market to install it isnt there ...
any idea why ?? i have emailed the developer of air attack hd ....
the game worked perfect so , could it be removed for individual handsets or does anyone know if it has been kicked off the market
im on a 3 uk branded phone for info ...
thanks

I have just checked on a friends dhd and its there so why has it been removed for sensation ?

Both apps are still not compatible with the Sensation.
If you go to the App market on your PC and sign in with your google account, look for both apps and it'll tell you:
"This app is incompatible with your Sensation."

Market has vodafone branding

Decided to go onto the markeylt to have a look for some alps as you do when I noticed the now on the market where it has the 3 short cut options apps games and my apps now shoes apps games and vodafone.... On there is a bunch of apps they reccomend, apps I already know about and don't use because I don't want to so I was a little annoyed to see the my apps button removed
You branded vodafone

I have a thread open about this. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. I don't think we were supposed to see this yet. I'm expecting it to become permanent in the future, perhaps to coincide with a ROM update.

Unbranded handsets still say 'HTC' instead of My Apps - looks like it's going no matter what

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15401386&postcount=15

Ive just noticed an app in my app drawer called Vodafone Rescue. Im sure it wasnt there before. As anyone else got this?
Found its description HERE.
I think it can be uninstalled but im sure ive never noticed that before.

yea you are right this wasnt there before, I noticed this on my first sensation when I sent it back and got a new one it wasnt there, it appeared when I had to restart my phone, the Vodafone Branding came on the market and the Rescue service also appeared.
I assume its remote access if you are having problems, voda can take controle of your phone and sort any issues.

Can it be related to which SIM card you have in your phone? I have a Vodafone branded Sensation but still with the SIM card of my current operator (going to Vodafone in a month) and in the market it still says My Apps.

I would assume that vodafone send down some form of 'Ping' at some point that adds Vodafone Rescue and changes the market menu link, but I cant be 100% sure, but I would assume it has something to do with the sim

Unbranded FW now says 'HTC' instead of My Apps but you can still get it by going Menu>My Apps

cheers eddie, i feel the removal of apps on android is a drawn out task, I know using launcher pro enables you to drag and drop apps inot the bin to uninstall but I would think this should be a standard feature

Just had this chat with Htc:

I do have rescue but i can't see any changes to the market, and i have restarted phone recently.... Hmmm....

the quicker we get s-off with perma root, the better. I dont like how vodafone have the ability and right to install their crap without permission or warning, on a device I own and that I have paid for.
Custom unbranded rom please!

Want the new Android Market?

http://www.androidcentral.com/grab-new-android-market-app-while-its-hot
You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.

awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.
? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM

FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

Watch my video and be the judge. That's why i made it. But to answer you id say no its fixed.

The slowness and lagginess of the new Market reminds me of Ovi Store on my old Nokia N96. Google can do much better than this! Probably a "contract out" job. No other Google app is anywhere near this bad.

Found a way to bypass the PIN system.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >Market > Clear Data
If you had set up a pin, clear the data then it won't be set up anymore...
Really poor implementation.

Did you try purchasing an app after clearing data? I'm just thinking that although the cleared settings may not show there is a PIN set up anymore, it might be stored server-side?
Otherwise, yes, that is appalling!

with this thing is basically impossible to update anything ... Google Maps, Locations, AURA for Android, Sound Houd etc etc ... a message pops up telling me an update is available, when i tap it it shows the application page on market i tap update a loading circle appears and iam waiting and waiting and waiting ... 5min, 20min, 30mins .. then exiting market app with no update.
