Why wait? Qik works fine!
Knowing Samsung, you'll be waiting forever for an official update. Good thing there are some top-notch devs working on porting 2.3.x over right now!

I almost never know what I'm talking about.
I guess we're stuck until we get a kernel. :-(

Here's a "stupid, but true" answer: I use the camera app as a mirror to make sure I don't have obvious crumbs or chicken bones stuck in my beard, after lunch, before going back to work. Dumb, but handy. I can turn on the sepia effect and I have a hand mirror that shows me what I look like, right now, in a film-noir piece from 1943.

Nice that it can be used as a "mirror", bummer that it takes pictures like a "mirror". Took a pic of me and my kid holding up an award, but the words are backwards and you cant read the award. I wanted to post the pic to share with family, but grandma couldn't read the certificate my kid was so proud of......

Qik works through its own protocols, only people who have it installed (or similar apps) will be visible in Qik contact list.
Google Talk uses gmail's contact list, and is far more useful to me. Person doesn't have to be in a cellphone to video-chat with me. I can call anyone and have voice or video chat.

yes definately att (and every other us carrier) attempting to control the market value of the phones. they will get out an update as soon as google or samsung steps in and says knock it off, or when a competing popular phone gets 2.3.4

Transformer27, in a utter display of noobieness, I ask you, how do I flip the pic? The best I can find is crop, rotate left/right etc...but no flip. Maybe I'm not ready for a smart phone yet.

Gtalk list

Hey everyone, I figured i'd make a post for everyone to list their gtalk account, that way we can all get a hold of each other easily.

yea i think Google+ would be smart. i keep contact with other Devs that way and we could read and discuss things about our phone on there pretty easily with the circles thing they've got going on. +1 to the huddle feature as well haha

Agreed!
We should start a Sidekick 4G circle. Except I don't know how long I will be in it since I change phones pretty often if you ask me...

NETFLIX FOR THE G2X will arrived soon

Hello everyone today I just got off the phone with netflix and told them my issue with the netflix app for the g2x, they basically told me the tech people are working on it I know the solution of the problem its basically the build prop( for example most android phones have model numbers but the rest its doesn't match so therefore the app is confuse of the model and the manufacture.) my suggestion is to call netflix if you have the g2x and tell them that it doesn't work the more people who call they can update it faster. and i know it works for eagle-blood and cm7 but if you like a Rom that your comfortable with why change it, its your rom and you deserve the best. take care people.

Running good here....
Cm7

Runs great on MIUI. Watched family guy and a few movies while I was out of town.

LMAO I spit my drink on the screen I LOL'ed so hard

Really? Who gives a flying fig if it works on custom roms. This thread isn't about that. Stop building your post counts by adding crap that doesn't pertain to the thread.

I have tried MIUI several times and have come to the conclusion that if I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. WiFi drops constantly and WiFi calling doesn't work. There is no option to adjust HDMI output and HBO Go doesn't work. I will say the camera is better and the toggle screen is great, but other than that it doesn't work for me.
To OP - Thanks for the update. I have called several times and have yet to hear anything close to them admitting they are working on it. Every time I call they blame LG. Here's hoping we see something soon.

This is getting ridiculous.

wtf people, everyone knows it will run on a custom rom, It has for a while, what the op is about is running netflix on a stock rom, I have tried all the custom roms and none have working bluetooth, which i use my bluetooth daily on my motorcycle for music, texts, and gps. So please stop posting what everyone already knows. Until these custom roms support ALL the hardware that came with my phone they are useless, tried them all, some are great but none offer bluetooth and netflix.

Maybe you should change the thread title to say stock because it will continue to happen lol

Is this another double post?
If you notice, the qik app you on our phone says 'T-Mobile Video Chat by Qik'.
Try one of these and see if it works...
Try downloading this.
Or this....

My apologies champ if I hurt your feelings. I gave him links to other qik downloads hoping that made up for pointing out the double post.
There you go champ. Changed my wording in my previous post hoping it is more sensitive for the like of you.

I'm sorry if I double posted, I thought I posted in the wrong section last time and wanted to delete it but couldn't see how, I thought it might require an administrator to delete it.
However, that second link I think is what I need but it's blocked on my market I think because of Tmobile. Can I get the .apk download?

There doesn't seem to be an easy way for you to get the app. My thoughts for you are to either try a third party app market (I haven't done) or go to an at&t phone forum here on XDA and look for the app (I did do and did not find) or download a ROM from the at&t phone forum and see if the .apk is included in the ROM (I did for you also but the 316 meg file was an .exe? so I could not see if the .apk was in there).
Good luck!

but Qik sucks......

I tired to download it on my other phone but it wont. Weird thing is I can see its available on the pc based market but the phone has it blocked.

Right,I think it's got to be something worked out between qik and Tmobile

As you probably know, skype has acquired qik (I think). I can see skype contacts from qik. Maybe you can see qik friends from skype mobile (maybe not... I have not tried).

Thank you for all the help.
Qik may not be the best but it's the only factor alternative for Android.
I got the app and it didn't work, Qik sorry said it was for the tablet after all.
