Google Talk w/ Video Chat Possible w/2.3.4 Update?

Just wondering if anyone has tried this now that we have a leak version of Gingerbread.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

excellent question

I have successfully installed the gapps file that they ported for the Evo. It installs fine and when I open up gTalk it shows me as video chat available, it shows my available friends that have video, but when I try to do a video call it force closes.

I didnt install anything but the leaked GB rom and radio and if you go to contacts it shows a web cam looking camera at the bottom. I dont have any friends on this so cant test but from what I can tell its already included?

Yup works great except for they see me sideways.

!!Not Working!!

You call that great? all the videochat apps work just fine (as advertised) in froyo: tango, fring, qik, skype mobile (leaked not official).

I think that for my money Qik or Tango do just fine

Got it working (kind of) using latest CM7 build, direction is now the correct way but no microphone doesn't work. I can hear them but they can not hear me.

Doesn't a non-functional microphone kind of make it useless?

Qik and Tango do just fine. So does Fring (which also has group video) and the leaked Skype (of you're running a Froyo ROM. But this isn't about settling for just fine, or second fiddle, or just good enough. This is about figuring out a way to get gTalk working with Video Chat. Advantages is you can chat with someone on a phone, tablet, or a PC. To be honest I probably would not even use it much, it is just that I want to help because maybe others might have a bigger need for it. I know my wife loves it on her Evo and our Xoom. I figured since it has been leaked to the Evo for over two weeks now and now that we got a 2.3.4 ROM, we should be getting close.

Only a few things I miss on gb leak...Skype's one of them. Can't get gtalk to work. Fring/ tango aren't the best quality.

Free Music MP3 Downloader v2 removed from market

Looks like Free Music MP3 Downloader v2 has been removed from android market. I like that app ...Where can i get it?
thank you for help

Yeah I know it! I miss it too. I was running gingerbread and flashed backto froyo cause of the battery issue. I went to the market to get it back and it wasn't there.

I liked it too and when i got my new phone it was gone. I found mp3 downloader Pro v1.3. it has lyrics, album search, more mp3s, and all that kind of stuff. Its the one with a blue icon and a smiley with headphones.

Isn't that app warez?

Whats app warez?

Here's a definition of warez.

Go to the market and download gtunes music lite. I did that the other day and after it installed it asked if I wanted to download the non market version so I could download music. I said ok and installed it. It works great!

Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.

mine froze the first couple times. now it is fine.

We got the freezing issue too. Gonna keep testing it out

Which APK did you install? Or are they all the same? The stupid thing is that I don't even really use Skype at all. I just want it to work properly.

I have the apk from the galaxy 2 forum and it works great in landscape and with the front camera. Is there any version that works with the rear camera and/or portrait?

Is there no way to make it portrait instead of landscape?

OFFICIAL Skype video finally on Thunderbolt..with a catch

So Skype released a new update for a lot ore phones, the Thunderbolt is finally included in the video calling list. YAY, right?
Well if you read the description you find this: "On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera."
So you can video chat..but only with the rear camera...what good is that for video chat?!?

I don't understand their justification....on 2.2 I was able to use the leaked/hacked skype apk and the front facing cam worked fine

Exactly! It's total BS.

At least it's a start. Honestly, though, GTalk with video has been great.

where did you see this new release?
on the skype website?
nm found your quote on the market.
I just installed and tested it out w/ my wife vide/audio is working
currently running gbdebloat.
@bliang - does the gtalk video also have the same problem as skype where
you have to put the phone in landscape in order to fix the rotated video?

I get some kind of package error when installing on CM7.

Installed on CM7 but won't let me sign in or create a new account. However it keeps trying to start up with the cloud and sync circle in the notification bar. Even killed it and it just reappeared.
Sent from my Xoom or Thunderbolt, pick one

is that old skype apk that was working on stock still avaible?

Nevermind, i didnt have it enabled in the settings...
It does work in CM7 RC1.4 for me with the front camera.

Well you could always face the back camera to you and stand in front of a mirror/place a mirror in front so you can see the screen

[Q] App that utilizes the secondary camera for video chat

I installed Skype thinking I could enjoy video chatting, but it tells me that if I have Froyo that I can only use the main camera, not the secondary. Are there any apps that make use of the secondary cam of the Triumph for the purpose of video chat?

You can use yahoo messenger it works pretty well
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App

I don't have the Triumph (yet) but try Fring or Tango.

Tango works on the Triumph.

anybody used triumph for video chat using front facing camera? how is the quality?

I used Tango last week with my brother (he was using a MyTouch 4G) on 2 bar 3g coverage. Video quality looked great. Audio quality was inconclusive on account that he was chatting from a party at a bar. lol

video quality is pretty good with tango but the sound was terrible phone to phone, weird crashing sounds in a perfectly quiet room

That's true for Google Talk Video... but not for Tango. I am running Tango perfectly on a rooted Triumph 2.2
As soon as CM7 is ported for the Triumph, I will install Google Talk Video!!!

THANK YOU! Works great for me

Tested it one a couple of separate calls, and both were surprised by the quality of the video. Thank you so much for the great hack.

Tango works for me, with decent coverage that is. Usually can't hear the other person though.

What makes this different from the one on the Market? I haven't had a chance to try out any video calls, but it seems to be the exact same and still tells me that 2.2 won't let me use the front-facing camera.

Except that there is another settings menu that will let you choose your front facing camera. It works well, and I thought the same thing at first until I had done a little poking around and found the added menu.

Oh ok cool. I had looked but didn't see anything. I'll have to try that out.

I tried Tango and it rawks. I am long distance dating a woman in Australia, and Tango allows us free calls (international rates are insane), AND video using my front camera. I am very pleased.
