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?

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?

Thanks, i uninstalled it right away when i checked my running services

tango works for the sensation https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sgiggle.production&feature=search_result
and you cannot change the gtalk app without root

Is there any current app that let's you have video call from computer to the Sensation? My wife has Skype on her laptop but for android doesn't show and available.

Basically upping your question.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

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,
Do you know what i need to do if i want to use the back camera during video chat? There is no rotate funciton in gtalk like there is in Honeycomb

Skype now allows video calling

Desire S owners get it in the market now.

Wow! I just updated.. works great!

Yeah! Works fantastic! But I think the sound is a bit weaker comparing to the old Skype. Anybody noticed that?

I saw this on engadget. Our phone is one of the selected 4-5. AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

I found that the camera quality steaming its not so good, but i guess its for getting better speed

Good, i was expecting good quality. I only video called myself, i'll probably make some calls tomorrow

Hell yeah! Gotta try this out. Thx for the heads up

1) New version crashes at restart (process skype.raider)
2) How to turn off Skype ? - I need it to set it only working when WIFI is active.

Finally... Now desire S is a real iphone 4 killer. Just tested new skype (24 min. of video call to other country using wifi) and this thing works sweet. No crashes, other party video frozen just once for about three seconds. JOY.

Great about time tbh!

no crash here, works fine.
to quit go back to the main skype screen, then press menu and you have the option

Tried it extensively today, works fine, apparently the image at the receiving end is lovely and sharp

It worked really well for me too.

Video calls no longer working since the last update. The options are greyed out in settings. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

Actually, the desire s could already do video calls before most devices! Just the new update unlocked the functionality for the thee devices

New Google Voice With Honeycomb Support

Finally, they updated GV to support tablets, and it finally has Background Sync as well. Just FYI. I know it's posted at the end of the other GV thread, but I thought it deserved a new thread.
If install fails, uninstall the modded version first.

Finally!! Google voice is amazing. But too bad I still can't make calls on the tablet. Sometimes I wish I don't have to bring the tablet and my phone with me to the bathroom Everytime.

Try GrooveIP, make calls using your gv number. It use wifi/3g do you'll be limited to when and where you can make calls
since no 3g on the tf.

What a pointless post. Why don't you give some relevant info, whether you have the modded version installed, tried rebooting, etc. It's made for HC, not hacked for HC, so any problems are probably related to older versions.

Awesome, been using the hacked version for a while now.

Google search crappy update

Did the new update also mess up the searching capabilities of your phone? Try to.search sth in the music library..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Damn it did. Music search does not work anymore Let's see if I can get rid of the bloody update...

Can you describe more of what you mean? I can still search music and everything just fine.

No u cant from e.g music player, open the music player and go to album/artist/all songs section and try to press the search button.. ive been reading a lot of negative feedback for the new search update, apparently it messed up all htc models and samsung aswell

You need to go into the settings in go into search and go into searchable items and check music and there you go. It didn't mess anything up.

I just did a search for "U2" on my phone and it instantly finds anything relating to it. You are of course free to criticize my musical taste, it's old stuff which I couldn't be bothered to remove from my memory card

U2 is one of my favorite bands did u try by the steps I mentioned? Open music player -> open all songs directory -> press search
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Hi Xxul, I'd never even tried that method before to be honest and you're right, nothing happens when i press the search button when following the steps you wrote. I have to say I don't feel I'm missing anything as I never knew I could do this anyway but I can see it could be a frustration if you're used to it. Wonder what the logic was behind the change then
We can both be ashamed in our choice of music then too lol...

I am deeply deeply sorry for my rude post then. The thing is a lot of users are so mean here and there is so much hate going on that I just automatically triggered my defence mechanism... Again I hope u can forget this little dispute as I am truly ashamed of my words..

Everyone I know it works from the homescreen but try this OPEN MUSIC PLAYER -> OPEN ALL SONG LIST -> PRESS SEARCH
