Gtalk with Video chat for 2.3.3, anyone try it - HTC Sensation

Now that we have S-Off and CWM Recovery I wonder if we can get working Gtalk video chat for our phones? I know there was a version that worked with 2.3.3 but I installed it and it doesn't seem to work on my phone. I wonder if the APK needs to be re-packaged for the sensation?
Just wanted to clarify when I mean it doesn't work, Gtalk launches and runs just fine. It's obviously a different version that was on the phone previously. There is just no options to video chat.

Well I'm not sure if it is working yet. I can initiate a video call, it rings at the other end, but after a few seconds it hangs up and the person on the other end gets a " Sorry! The video chat with xxxxx failed because of a problem with our servers at 10:43 AM. Please wait a bit and try again." message.

Does this work for stock sensation not rooted?

Let's try to see how it goes with video

Use search button... There's no queston here... It works

No need for this anymore. 2.3.4 update includes gtalk with voice/video chat.

does this do video?
no workie

can install.
can text chat/IM.
can voice chat.
can NOT video chat. (won't allow enable of front or rear camera.)
friends CM6 evo:
Vzw galaxy tab:
can NOT find on market.
(did not ask him to try installing posted apk.)
Vzw galaxy tab:
can NOT find on market.
can NOT install from apk.
I tried installing and it says it cannot be installed. Running cyanogenmod.
I have used oovoo desktop for years and it works great. I downloade the mobile version and I could get audio but no video when I logged into my account. The option to do a video call would not do anything.
Has anyone got this to work?
edit
read the fine print and it only works for audio now. Bummer.
I had the same issue with the .APK not installing on my evo as well!! I'm also running the Desire HD rom which could be a reason or maybe just because perhaps the evo isn't supported yet which is odd because the guy from oovoo on twitter said it was a month ago to me
um, so NO video on the EVO ?

Video calls?

Well, today I finally got my G2x.. The main thing I bought it for is the front cam so I can keep in touch with my family overseas. For some reason I cannot get GTalk 1.3 to make a video call. I've tried CN7, bionic, and eagleblood.. Nowhere I see the option to initiate the video call.. any ideas?
Thanks
Try Tango from the Market.

Gtalk will only work after the gingerbread update. With Tango you can make free video calls as well.

Hi, thanks for the replies. I would like to be able to do video calls to computer with gtalk or any program... tango is only phone to phone.. so which rom has the bread update that makes it work?
You need 2.3.4 Gingerbread (CM7) and the correct updated version of GTalk that supports video. I've never used it but I've heard some people have success with it while others can't get it working. Video in GTalk is not yet released officially so your mileage may vary.
I was in the Tango beta which works well now. It is a free download from the Market.

Google Talk with Video (Thanks to Paul and BluechipJ)

Hey guys,
Previously I tried installing Google Talk w/ Video on J's CM7 to no avail. However, now that we have the official GB from SE we can now install it and I can confirm that it is working on our X10s. I know there is no front facing camera, but it's still a cool feature to have. This feature is supposed to be only for the 2.3.4 update but it can be yours if you have root. Much thanks to developer (Paul from MoDaco) for creating this installer and BluechipJ for making the youtube installation guide.
More information is in the description on the youtube video.
Shortlink to directly download the installer onto your phone (visit this in the browser, on your phone): http://jp1.ca/googlevideoinstall
Thanks Again Paul from MoDaco and BluechipJ!
NOTE: I've tried a few zips from the below thread for non wifi video function but it didn't work. If anyone is able to get it to work let me know.

I get FC when trying to call or start video-chat with someone.
I am on WiFi.
Weird, I wonder why that is. I installed it on both of my X10s. One running rooted stock and the other Wolf's version. Both of them work fine. I noticed that we have to allow video and voice chats once you sign into talk. You probably already did it but for those that haven't yet press your picture icon and then it will go to a update status area and you can click it there.

I like the new UI and I probably wouldn't have used voice or video ever,
but I hate it when something FCs and I don't know why!!!!
Anyway, thanks a lot, good find!

I flashed it via XRecovery. I did mount everything in XR before I flashed it. When you make a video call over 3G, the other side person need to wait for 5 or 10 sec and than click accept.
I think it's depend on the 3G speed sometimes line drops. But I didn't get any FC

I know this is pretty old, but I downloaded and installed the apk. It asked for root privelages and was given them. It removed my previous version of Talk, and that's all it did. It just sites there at the screen with the picture of the guy. I've restarted the phone and even tried it again, but nothing. Now I'm stuck with now google talk at all. I'm rooted on 2.3.3. Any help?
Nevermind. Evidently debugging mode needs to be turned on for it to install properly. Got it now. I wish this had an option just for voice and no video like the ICS version.
hay any help here
!!!
i installed this as in video
on my x10 fxp107
and after the restart the phone keep rebooting
even after wipe every thing and install the rom again

Videocalls in ours i9003. Together we can. (New beta/modded version of Fring)

Hi guys,
As you know, our i9003 is not able to make video calls (3G or wifi). In Gingerbread doesn't work in any app, and only Tango and only in Froyo. As anyone port gtalk with video calling for our devices? Or mod some app like Skype, Tango, Fring or Ooovo to have video calls?
For a long time I have contacted a lot with the support of Tango, Fring and ooVoo. I have sent videos, many logs showing the issue, all they have asked me. But they aren't able to fix the issue. Even look at ooVoo email:
"Hi Unkalo,
Due to Ongoing Problems With This device is going to be it removed from the market. I'm sorry We Were Unable to get it working for you.
ooVoo is also available on PC and Mac, I hope you can join us there.
Best,
Roberta "
No comment. Incredible, Instead to try to fix the issue, they remove the app from our market...
Please help, together we can do it.
They removed the app just for not making it work for SL? Is that necessary?

Nobody want to help with videocalls?
In the last days, I have been working with Fring and Tango support. They send to me mods of Frings and Tango, and I reported them the results, and I sent them logs, videos, and screen captures showing the issue, and they sent me a new version, I tried, and started over with logs, videos, screenn captures ...
Today, the results are:
Tango: In Froyo Ok. In gingerbread, fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, and tango developers are working on zoom issue and audio issue.
Fring: In Froyo I think that green flickering issue, but I haven't been able to prove because I'm on Ginger. In Gingerbread: Fixed black screen, fixed rotation issue, fixed upside down issue, and fixed zoom issue. In Gingerbread after fix rotation and zoom, appears green flickering again. Fring developers are working to fix it. But they are working on it, and that's good news for our i9003, as developers tend to ignore our device.
Skype and oovoo. KO in Gingerbread (black screen) and KO in Froyo (green flickering).
Gtalk video: KO. If someone could carry a gtalk mod to our devices, would be the best of news.
I shall tell you of new results.
We really need to get Fixed VIdeo Call Issue on I9003
Skype, Yahoo..Paltalk video calls also not working. we can see others. they cant see us..
phone to phone video calls working on my device. but not on Internet video call
If you keep autorotate ON always also. camera freeze sometime.
I don't know why they don't want to fix this issue.. if u start Yahoo video call. phone just rebooting.. on Skype. only one side video working..
Expecting fix on future version!!! Lets all shout together..

To see what's new today
Fring support sent to me this:
"Hi.
Our developers suspect it's a device driver issue or memory issue.
We'll keep Investigating .. I hope we find something.
I really want to thank you for your Enthusiasm and help, Could we have got so far Without it. "
Drivers or memory problem ....??
In addition, ooVoo, launched yesterday a new update, I've tried a video call to PC (I couldn't try with another i9003) and for the first time, the video works perfectly! Only with the audio I have a problem, that my voice is very very distorted ... You can try oovoo and report here your results. I'm ginger, would be nice if someone with Froyo can tell us how it goes.
Come on guys!
in ovoo front video is working but no sound and back camera
Hi Guys,
Fring support send to me a new version, and no green flickering, no audio issue and no rotation issue, only zoom issue. Fring uses 640x480 resolution (native resolution of front cam), with 320x240 no zoom issue but appears green flickering. We can almost make video calls. I show a picture:
But using the camera's native app, using the front camera on froyo, the preview image was similar to when there is green flickering at Fing (320x240):
but after upgrading to gingerbread, the preview shows different, like full screen . I send you pictures so you can get an idea:
I think that here comes the problem of zoom, can be caused by this.
This week will prove this version of fring with my girlfriend (she has a Froyo i9003) and see how it works.
But if successful, someone could port drivers or libs of Froyo, to work well in gingerbread?Any developer could try that?
What do you think about it?
Please respond any developer
PD. Here you have, but beware the fring.log, it is getting bigger and bigger. Can you tell me how it works in Froyo?, in ginger only zoom issue, but and in Froyo? Feedback please.
If you want you can add me as Fring friend, my fring user id is: unkalo

Thanks a lot for your dedication man! I'll try out fring and see what happens! Although I'm currently on CM7, and I can't flash anything for a bit, I'll give it a shot!
Again, thanks a ton for all you've done mate! It's been invaluable!
Update: the market apk was last updated on the 7th of Nov. So I'm guessing that they sent you a beta version? Could you please post it on here? Thanks!

I see you don't like reading too much
With the new version of ooVoo, at in gingerbread, video usually works well (if you have black screen, switch off cameras and it will works well, and if not send picture, hang up video call and call again), the only problem is with the audio, is heard very distorted and not understand anything. To fix it, up or down the volume of the call volume using the physical keys on the device, and that will fix the audio issue.
For now is the best we have so far, almost 100% functional.

Hi Unkalo. by any chance, have you tried this one already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18290748&postcount=1492
DO NOT download the latest one. Click on v11 and try that one out. you need to uninstall your current skype if you have one installed before installing v11. after that:
1. go to menu -> advanced settings -> force enable video calling
2. go to menu -> advanced settings -> use valid preview surface
3. go to menu -> advanced settings -> front camera -> rotation -> 90 deg
I haven't tested this myself but based on the loooooong thread I read, this might work. I'll give it a try myself tomorrow afternoon (i9003 is my gf's phone and I won't be able to meet her until then). I'll try to post back the result as well.
a little off topic, I can see you have gone great lengths to make i9003's video calling possible and we highly appreciate it. thanks man!
You can try it, try all options, and after post the results here. But I've never managed to get skype to work well with our i9003 ...
