HTC Video Calling

I've searched and found no results for this so I appologize if it's been mentioned. When I open the "people" there is a "video call" tab. Is it possible to use this feature?

Ah no there isnt what rom u on ?

I don't know of anyone that has been able to use it.. you probably need someone with a sensation or Thunderbolt in your contacts

I have people with thunderbolts in my contacts who also have that video call option, but nothing comes up.

Gingerbread is going to have Skype video calling built in. It should start arriving on the 30th.

alot of people actually believe that to be a fake "leak"

Now what about Google talk video chat? I have it, and it shows a camera next to my name, but doesn't show my fiance's as having video capabilities when I look at her name on my list. We both are running the same ROM and when looking at her list she has a camera next to her name but not mine. We both have it checked to allow video chat in the preferences.

i think it only works on some roms. I see the same thing when testing a chat from pc to phone and the pc will initially see the video but once initiated it will say the device isnt currently supported

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?

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.

It worked for me but the person was only able to see me for 10 seconds before my video feed froze. I could still see them and speak to them, they would just see my feed freeze up.

worked fine for me sensation to pc
frozed on sensation to iphone

Heh, well I guess they'd rather it be unavailable than defective... Thanks for the info.

force it to stop, back out of the item to the list & then select it again. sometimes you have to go out & go back in for the uninstall to actually select

2) where is the link?

I'm looking for it.... I'll report back.

either click that link on your phone and download it through there(you must have the option to download apps from unknown sources checked) or just download the file and send it to yourself through email(still need unknown sources checked) OR just put it on your SD card and use Astro file manager to install it.
this is why i love open source :]

probably because google or craigslist pulled the app down. has nothing to do with the inspire, might want to contact the devs for that. google is your friend.

works on my inspire, just tested it. Did you change your screen DPI? If so that would be why you can't download many apps. There is a procedure to get around that, i dont have the link offhand though.

It doesn't work well anyway. I can download it to mine, but the search functions were so terrible it was better to use the browser. I deleted it.
