[Q] Video Call: Which app? - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

Hi
As there will never be a Skype video call option for our transformer, which app are you using to perform video calls from the Transformer to a Windows 7 PC?
Thanks

google talk?

Not quite, gtalk isn't functional with video after 3.2 update

Worked for me before I flashed Prime, and works for me after I flashed Prime. It did freeze a bit when I used it a couple days ago though (Prime 1.8.2). I'm on Revolver 2.5 now, but I haven't used Talk video yet so we'll see about that later.

I'm running Prime 1.8.4 and no joy here.. FC's upon video connection.. A google check highlights many with same issue (not related to Prime but in general)

Gtalk on prime 1.8.4 works very well.

You can use TANGO. It work on Android and iOs.

i use gtalk, stock transformer w/3.2 intalled. video works just fine

Yahoo Messenger 1.4+ with Yahoo Plugin 1.4+
For voice and video calls, you should definitely use the Yahoo Messenger App and Plugin on your Transformer. It is available in the market and a free option. In my opinion, I feel it is one of the best for the android OS.

Flash 10.3 Update

The Flash 10.3 Update that I just downloaded seems to make HQ videos run better in YouTube. Not perfect, but much better than the jerky starts and stops I got before. Anyone else notice this?
Just upgraded Asus update and the 10.3 flash... No better at all here on youtube, still have to watch normal mode... Really disappointed in this when got the pad 2 weeks ago played them fine... So what gives?
Update. Pad as in transformer not ipad2 ..i got the asus 2 weeks ago..
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
The iPad2 can't play flash video so why are you comparing the iPad playing it's native format (mp4 h.264) using it's native player to the Transformer running flash doing soft-decoding of h.264?
Any reason people aren't using the built-in youtube app?

He was saying he got the tablet 2 weeks ago and it was playing them fine.. Not that he got an iPad 2 and it was playing them fine.

yes using 480p max in browser plays alot better than built in, does ASUS reconize this as an issue that will be fixed?

[Q] Anyone have Amazon Prime free movies on ICS

I am running ICS stock and have tried to watch free Amazon Prime movies on my xoom but it tells me that I must install Adobe flash. It is already installed but I unistalled and reinstalled flash but it still would not work.
I am trying to watch it on the Chrome beta. Has anyone got Prime to work on any browser?
Chrome doesn't support Flash yet on Android, or Flash doesn't support Chrome.
I use Amazon Prime with the stock browser. The quality is lower with ICS and the video is somewhat choppy. There are threads which discuss the reason.

NHL Game Center Live Jittery Video

So, I'm using the tablet version of the NHL Game Center Live Premium Verizon app and trying to watch game lately I've noticed that the Video is super jittery. Unwatchable. Audio seems normal. Video will play for 2 seconds, stop, jump ahead the 2 second and start again, rinse, repeat.
It is driving me nuts. Is anyone else experiencing this? or is it working fine for you? If it works, what Rom and version of it are you running? I originally tried on the latest revolver. Now i'm on the latest Revolution HD. Both are ICS. Haven't tried a Non-ICS, anyone else have a confirmed working ROM?
Thanks!
Having the same problem with stock ICS.
Go Kings Go!!
This is an issue with the kernel Asus released with their ICS builds. All roms based on the Asus release will have the issue. ROMS not based on the Asus builds like the Team EOS rom play the video smoothly.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Yea, I had that problem on Stock ICS and the other Roms using Asus ICS.
CM9, TeamEos, and AOKP all worked great for me with the NHL app. Must be a problem with stock Asus, as Shaun said.
I watch the NHL using the browser,(I'm a subscriber) the beauty of using the desktop version is you have
much more choice of resolutions than with the GCL app.

I had the same issue but I solved by nvflashing ics then installed my rom and cwm via gnufabio's app and the video has worked perfect since

Thats usually what I do using my HTPC. I am a subscriber, not stealing anything here. The problem is I'm a subscriber and they black out games that are on NHL network or NBC Sports. Channels I don't have because I don't subscribe to cable because NHL is the only thing I wanted to watch live. Gamecenter live is great, but the blackouts are rediculous.
Got this working by using Eos nightlies. The tablet version of the verizon gamecenter app stream beautiful video. Great alternative to my HTPC when games are blacked out since the app can be faked out. My previous hack for blackouts on the HTPC stopped working when the year turned over, NHL got wise to it i suppose.

Mobo player on the infinity is kicka$$

If you guys haven't checked out mobo player you should. They just added that window effect that the GS3 has. Its amazing on our tablet. Here is a screenshot of me playing final fantasy 3 while watching the first episode of The Big Bang Theory which I ripped from my bluray streaming from my pc via file manager hd. It really shows the true speed and power of this tablet.

I'd love to like this player, but it has trouble playing back any .mkv and .avi files I've tried on it. One video played back right, Vertigo, but that movie is over 50 years old and isn't going to showcase the amazing power of this tablet lol.
Yea, i agree its not the best video player out there and i like BS player a whole lot better but the window thingy is pretty cool. Hopefully with time the player end of the app will get better.

Exactly..
By the way... what uses can the small screen have for ya. I would have a hard time paying attention while doing other tuff..
Lastly, anyone download sites to pick up good movies to add to the table?
Even better yet, just use whatever video player you want and then use "Stick It!" - a windowed video player! It allows you to resize and move the window and it would work with ANY other app! The guy that writes it also has 3 or 4 other windowed apps for Android - check them out on the Play store - they are really cool...

I use "Stick It" as well!!!
Why pay 1.79 for "stick it" when you can have "Super Video, Floating, and Pop-Up" update for FREE. It does the same exact thing. Plus it had an Update 7 days ago. STICK IT hasn't had one since May.

A few reasons:
1. I purchased it way before "Super Video" was available.
2. It's a *much* better app - it simply works better!
Have you actually tried Stick-it? Just because an app is updated more recently does not make it better!

Are you saying I can use bsplayer and then use stick it to float bsplayer's window or is it just a stand alone player? At work atm so I can't try it out for myself

Stick-it is a stand-alone app (a windowed video player). The author of it makes 3 or 4 other windows apps as well (a browser, video player, calculator and a terminal emulator).

Anyone know of an app that would allow you to do this with non-videos? For example, having a browser window open and another app windowed? That would be great for comparing data.

you can do the opposite with OverSkreen. Its a floating browser. Same goes for LilyPad, a floating IM client (only gtalk, facebook and msn at the moment).

Nothing that general, but there are a growing list of floating apps available on the market such as:
Hovernote, a floating notepad that supports copy and pasting

Yes. I tried it. It works - to some extent. Very confusing. Removed it until better Beta...

I also installed it but it wasn't working properly...screen was flickering and my mp3 files refused to play....uninstalled until a better version is released.
I tested the 07-26-12 and the 07-30-12 with my HOX and TF700, HOX wouldn't work any more (did work with the 07-20-12 release) but TF700 works fine (as in: it plays video's choppy.. no hardware support, but music is fine)

I've had pretty good luck with it, but have only tried a few videos. I'm not a huge fan of the touchscreen skin they include, but its a start. I think the default skin almost works better. I hope they get the keyboard shortcuts working, as that would be nice with the dock (i've long had them memorized).
It will be nice if more people come out with android/touchscreen specific skins.

which one would you say was more stable? Because when I tried to use it on my TF700 the screen kept flickering at the home screen of xbmc...
Atm none, they're too early in development to actually use.

Backspace.. etc...
But this build is working like a charm to play my movies

What is the build you have installed?
I have 2012-09-04 now... Some MKV files will now work. Lots of hickups (now i use MX Player for MKV)
Yes mkv gave me stuttering buy the files i streamed were mp4 if i remember right. Im using that version as well. They say most of the problems with the stuttering is the lack of the hw drivers...or something to that extent
