Guys,
Is it supposed to be possible to start a video chat with Google talk from the Transformer when the guys at the other hand does not have gingerbread 2.3.4, e.g. towards a HTC desire?
I don't see the option. All my contacts on Talk are either desktop (and I don't see the option either) or android pre-2.3.4
Cheers

You can only start the kind of chat inidcated by their icon. If they are on desktop have them connect to Google talk in gmail instead of the client. For some reason Google enabled it in there first.
Unfortunately pre 2.3.4 devices didn't get an updated talk that supports it.

(pre cursor- uninstall google voice first, I didn't have it installed but some people did)
Steps I took
on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)
used Titanium to back up the app
Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab
Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.
YMMV
Thanks for the confirmation!!! Looks like I finally have a serious reason to root my N1, I feel so behind the times.
Are you saying that should I do this, I'd be able to text from my GTab?
If so, please elaborate. I've never used Google Voice, but will if I can text from my tab. That'd be crazy awesome.
(Got a HTC Hero CDMA, rooted, stock ROM. GTab is running TnT 2.2, if any of that matters.)
Google Voice update
After yesterdays (12/8/10) update to GV. The entire app almost works now on the G-Tab. You can even "skip" the voicemail setup and get it working about 90%...just no VOIP calling yet
Ok. I'll download that from the market. Do I sign up online with my existing cell number?
How did you skip the VM setup... I couldn't skip this after the update...
thx
***nevermind --- I re-read the 1st post... :]
Works just as described. Texting works like a charm. Thanks.
No real work is required to get this up and running. Just install Google Voice via the marketplace and run it. I already had a Google Voice account, and when prompted I just told the setup program that the G-Tablet was my home phone or something. No problem texting or listening to voice mail.
Does anybody have voice calling on the G-Tab through SIP?

Moved to general
I am looking for an app so I can dial a phone number on my desktop and just pick up the call on my galaxy s... Is this possible?
I am currently running android 2.2 on the galaxy s and windows 7 on my pc
Thanks in Advance
Google Voice does this. You will need to sign up for an account here, download and setup the app, and download an the Google Voice extention for whatever browser you like best. Chrome works well for me.
Google Voice is not available in my country.
I cant get the gtalk video chat to work.
My friend try to video chat me, but i do not receive the invitation to answer the call, i can hear is ring (he's just beside me) .. like i do not receive anything from the caller.
If i try to call him.. he receive my invitation and answer, then the screen goes blank with my cam on right corner (the same for him with his camera).. but nothing more.. again i do not seem to receive a confirmation or something like that..
Anyone is able to use gtalk video chat ?
Yes. I'm running on Prime 1.6 (android 3.1)
I hacked my G2x to use the video feature and used it last night. My G2x using 3G and my TF using WiFi.
Asus Transformer 3.1 pwnd
www.MiiWiiChat.com
www.SnapSiteAdmins.com
i had no problems running it on my stock 3.2
Ive tried plenty on mine, several roms and stock, it always works. sorry for the question but, have you checked if you had enabled video and voice in gtalk?

Also, is either an apps account. My apps account wouldn't work on the tablet

Ithink my tf101 might vhe an issue here.
My friend does not have the problem, he reveive my call, but the handshake is not complete due to my tf101

Thanks i was using two account on my gtalk. I deleted one, and used the other for test purpose on my pc and now i can engage discussion from one side or another.
It looks like the account i'm using on the pc (a hotmail account) was not working on android, i don't know why but now it works that way :
My true gmail / gtalk account on android, the hotmail/gtalk on my pc.
Thanks for you all.
Cool. I had to switch to my old gmail account for talk. I had been sycning with my apps account and it worked in the browser plugin but not the application. Hopefully Google will get off their collective asses and create the security tools for their apps accounts so I can do everything with it.
I have stock 3.1.
I cant make gtalk video chat to anyone but some of my friends can call me and i can accept there calls. It works fine if the video is started from there side (running windows 7).
I have a HTC HD7 with mango, but although I have a hotmail account (which I use for MSN) it only gives me the options to sync emails, and I cant find anyway to enable messenger on it, anyone know how this is done on mango? or if it is even possible?
Im sure it supposed to work like the facebook chat but i dont appear to have an option for it (my facebook chay DOES work).
It's not in the settings as it's activated by default. Just change your status in the messaging hub to anything but "Offline"" and you should see your Messenger contacts that are online.
tried that but it doesnt show any of my msn contacts, I even tried playing around with my filter options (for the people hub contacts) and none of my MSN buddies or in the list.
also when you press the icon with the 2 arror buttons (left/right arrows) it only gives options of TXT and Facebook, it foesnt give a messenger option.
i have the same problem on my HD7. the 'onlline' tab only shows my friends from facebook chat and not WLM.. and i dont know why
is your windows live account the one you used to sign into the phone? go to home.live.com and see if you can see and chat with your friends online via hotmail....
After I updated to mango I had to hard reset my phone and everything worked.

Yup that might help too. Also have to make sure the MAIN Windows Live ID that your phone is signed into is the one you use for Messenger. If you've added additional Windows Live IDs, you'll get e-mails/calendar/contacts..etc but not Messenger.
It works reasonably well for me (the first message you get in a convo has an annoying tendency to to go the phone and not to the PC, which is a pain if you're signed on to both at once. The real problem, though, is that it only works with the primary WLID. Such a waste of a good feature.
If you have a Google voice number like me, you are probably sad that all the third party apps that enabled VoIP using Google voice on android have stopped working. Like grooveip and talkatone.
Well here is a good news.. You can use VoIP calls from your android device. You need to do two things
1) Enable hangouts instead on talk in gmail.
2) Download opera browser (any browser that can fake a desktop UA might work. I use opera)
Now, change the user agent to desktop in opera browser and call using hangouts in gmail like you usually do on a PC and it works!!!
If you already knew this, good for you. I didn't and I just found out so I am sharing an option till Google releases full hangouts Google voice integration.
Enjoy!
EDIT: if you are logged in and opera is running in the background, you can even receive calls to your Google voice number!!!

Trying this now. Amazing if this works.
Thanks, this works with Opera on my tablet. It doesn't work in Chrome, even with the "request desktop site" option checked. But I expected that, since I tried it a while ago. Not sure if Firefox would work, but I'll use Opera for this. Navigating the hangouts interface is clumsy to say the least, but it's nice to have the option.
Thanks for the tip, but as expected, Google has totally hosed the Voice app. You can no longer make calls over Wifi on android so its totally useless for that. The other functions of the app are clunky and difficult. Way to flush a good idea Google.

facebook messanger has voip.
does this still work?
i used to use it like two weeks ago on a Nexus 7 (2012), with Opera.
But then I broke my tablet and got a new Nexus 7 (2013).
Now it's asking me to download the hangouts plugin.
I gave up on phone and using Google Voice voip as my number.
This is really frustrating when I'm not in front of my PC.
MO + app still works from play store
