Hey guys. Not sure if anyone saw this but the edited the file so you can use it on other phones. I downloaded and installed and it gave me the option for video chat. Didn't get to try it out as nobody is online. But give it a shot.

I tried using the apk between my Droid Charge and my mom's Droid 2 Global and the second the video chat started, we both FCed. The IM feature still worked, of course.
same here on my 2.2.1 EE4 rooted charge. Can't make an outbound video call and when a PC video calls the Charge it FC's immediately after accepting the call
Lame. I just saw it and figured I would throw it out there for everyone.

I have downloaded the new Qik and restarted and now it will not let me log in says that I am not connected to the network. I am connected to 3g and have tried on wifi as well, uninstalled and reinstalled as well as rebooted..... ahhhhh
I had the same problem until I accepted the OTA update and now it works just fine. Don't worry about root not being possible after the update because unrevoked.apk works with or without the OTA update.
If your not getting the OTA sent to you do this.
Menu - Settings - System Updates - HTC software update
Hope that helps
So after a FULL DAY WITHOUT QIK ON THE MARKET PLACE, I find "Qik Video" on there this morning and its doing the same thing as the preinstalled (that never updated btw).
Keeps telling me I don't have internet access.. pfft.

this is because every evo owner in the US is killing QIK's server if you wait and be patient you can eventually log in. now the app is kinda weak the video chat is similar to PTT. the person that initiates the call may talk freely while the other user has to push the talk button to speak. Skype on fring will be awesome until skype releases their own app later this year
Qik not workin
Hi everyone! Well just to report that qik is not really working, yesterday when I got my EVO the bestbuy employe set it up for me and it worked but later on when I tried to open the app again, it didn't work. I did update the my evo but still it doesn't work. I'm starting to believe that it may be bugs or something, what do you guys think?
well i also had some troubles with qik...... force closes everywhere.......it will work and then it doesn't.
The only thing i found to do is clear data then it works but I thought it did video chat I knew it was going to stink
...I also have not done the OTA yet....
Was having problems with it too! Did the lastest update and could log in after, oh about 20 times. BUT I lost the ability for video chat! Dont update if you want to keep video chat! The blue one has video and the orange does not! Anyone got the blue Qik apk?
choose contact number
Here's my deal with it. When I choose a contact to whom I want to send a video qik picks the wrong number and there's no way to select another number or email addy from the contact card. This alone makes the app 90% useless for me. I went to their support forum and its a mess. Anybody here have a solution for this?
here's the blue app
after installing, reboot your device and it should show up
enjoy
will this cause 2 icons one blue one orange or will it update the orange as they intended?
I have the blue one but neither I or my friends can figure out how to video chat with it. Qik = horrible fail.
okay so i installed the blue Qik app.. it worked over Wifi... freezes on 3g. .. 4G is spotty for me.. i barely get 1 bar if i even do get it... but it works.. only issue. it FC's when you try and sync with twitter.. and also facebook sync doesnt seem to work.. keeps asking me to go to the browser.. which i have.. but is still telling me that... anyone has this issue resolved?
Anyone got this to work on your g tablet? I'm getting pops and static on TNT lite.
Anyone got any videochat to work?
AAAHHHH
I am getting the popping and crackling feedback too......Are the speakers broken?
half the time my speakers don't even work, If I boot and they do they stop working as soon as my screen sleeps if not crackle and pop
Also playing with the volume when the sound isn't working will almost certainly force my Gtab to reboot......any ideas?
I have not tried video chat so no clue if it works
yea I'm getting the pop/crack on the test call as well, mp3's play fine, I'm running CM b4.
+1 for the pop/crackle. I was able to get Yahoo working though, at least it appeared to work. My buddy didn't answer the call, but I was able to see myself.
EDIT: I'm still stock, but rooted. Haven't tried any roms yet. Just got mine last night. (Love it by the way.)
Anyone know anything about Skype and getting it to work? I got it installed, but don't see an option for video calling.
im having the same problem with fring
Tango wont install correctly
Skype doesnt support video chat
im going to try knocking or qik next
As of right now, Yahoo Messenger appears to be the only one that works.

Yup. I used Yahoo Messenger as well and it worked. Only problem is that the video quality is horrible. I switched to my iphone and it was better on both ends. Hopefully we'll get some good video chat app soon!!!
I tried this mod and it worked. I used aSQLiteManager and aShell, both free on the market. I take no credit for this...just sharing.

Theres an app in market called Enable Video Chat over 3g/4g that worked for me
I was never able to get a session going but it allowed me to attempt. Did anyone actually get video going?

did you root your phone before trying the app?
Yes you must be rooted to make this change or use the Enable app.
My atrix is rooted and I did enable gtalk over 3g, however whenever I calling out, the recepient receives the call, but on my end it never get connected. When I receive a call, it seems like the video started (I see myself), but no other side video nor audio, actually there is audio, but it's like dialup sound - craclking and squicking. After few minutes of this the call drops.
Can anyone confirm it actually works?
P.S.
Just did factory restore, then root and tried gtalk - same problem. Through Wifi it works fine.
[EDIT]
hmmm after reboot its fixed itself...
My setting constantly reverts itself back to true, any way to fix that?

Hey I have searched the forum and so far I have yet to find a solution to my problem. I have the Droid RAZR Maxx HD running on Jellybean. I am not sure if the problem was present before I upgraded to Jellybean.
I don't use video chat very often, but sometimes it comes in handy. Especially handy when you're troubleshooting something remotely. Ok I have tried Tango, Skype, Fring, ooVoo, Google Talk video, and Facebook video. Each one of them seem to do something different. Tango will dial the other person up and start my camera, but it will never let us connect. When I attempt to hang up a Tango call all it does is turn the green light off under the video camera icon, and the video camera stays on. I have to press the home button and force close the app. Skype will just force close if I attempt a video call as will Google+. The ooVoo app allows the video to work fine on both ends but we have zero audio and I've been unsuccessful finding anything in settings to change that. The Fring app let's the other person see me (they were on a Samsung Galaxy Note II), and we can hear each other. I can only see my own camera on my screen, though. So far ooVoo and Fring seem to be the closest to being working apps for me, but they still are not functional enough to be of any use. I contacted Verizon about this on the phone twice and visited the store once. The guy on the phone this morning said that it was likely something with the jellybean upgrade. The guy at the store last night said his works fine with the same kind of phone, but I'm not sure about that personally because I never saw him get it to work. The only phone he tried to initiate a video call with was mine. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get around this. By the way, I also tried clearing the cache and the data for Tango and uninstalling, installed an older version of Tango from Google, but that only force closed. Please let me know if you need more information to help solve this issue, and thanks in advance.
Anyone ? ? ?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD
my wife and i have started using the new Hangouts app, but neither one of us can hear each other. i have an Slll and she has a Droid Charge. my brother that has a Razr Maxx can't hear me either, but i can hear him. any suggestions?
Hangouts is garbage. I've nothing but trouble with it since they updated it to that. My video chat doesn't work now, just like you I get video but no audio at all. Sometimes, when I'm just chatting with somebody normally (no video chat) it will take up to a half an hour before their message appears and the same for my sent messages. It force closes ALOT as well. I mean, I can't even friggen see who's online and who's not.... Urghh... I restored my Titanium backup from before the update. The old Talk app worked fine, I will stick with that until they fix this P.O.S. I would suggest doing the same unless you enjoy non-functioning apps.. If you not rooted you can always go to settings>application manager>Hangouts>uninstall updates.
Good luck
