slingPlayer update

Anyone get the slingplayer update today to v1.2? Mine says update in market but then wont download.

I just downloaded with no problem. Its just a small update, not like the one iOS received. Im sure Android phones will get those features soon.

Mine downloaded fine. All I see is the ability to scroll through with page up and down. Still a nice feature. Also seems a little bit quicker when making selections or scrolling around.

I got it to work. Pretty good update with the HQ video now.

Am looking for the ability to have audio only like I had on my Treo.

[Q] Best Video chat software?

Currently running TnT lite 5.0.1 on my ViewSonic G tablet and have tried Qik (the version designed for the galaxy tab), but the sound didn't work. Tried fring, but the whole app just made funny noises and didn't work. Also tried Tango, but the app didn't recognize a phone number, so it wouldn't let me use the software with my tablet. All tests were done with the gf who has an HTC EVO, stock.
Has anyone had any luck with any specific combination of ROM's and apps? Or do you know of another app that would be best?
Notice to SKYPE... you're expected to be the industry leader here, so wtf are you doing so far behind the curve on mobile video chat???
Thanks for any help!

Been wondering about this myself. I don't understand why nobody is making a big deal out of this. What's the point of having a front facing camera if there ain't no video chatting program that works? I am particularly ugly... don't know why my boy friend is my boy friend in the first place. I wouldn't want to take pictures of myself in a million years.
Anyway, this is one of the reasons why I'm still hesitant to order this device.

Try Yahoo messenger+ video plugin. It wors perfectly for me. Sound and video. Tested yesterday.
Greetings

But with yahoo messenger you can't call people on other services like skype. Or can you?

No, only yahoo contacts, but at least is a solution. Skype is playing the cell companies game here, so it will take a long time before they offer a video solution.

So what is the XOOM using for this? Custom Motorola build of something or... ?

Ya, xoom supposedly has a kickass video chat possibility that they've been advertising for a while. What are they using?

My understanding is the video chat in Honeycomb is through the GTalk server, which is awesome. Also quick note as I haven't seen it mentioned yet, Qik is actually owned by Skype.

Skype just bought Qik, which is encouraging, but still waiting to see some movement!!

May I ask where you got it from?
The oovoo site says my tablet doesn't qualify (running tnt 4.25)
And loading the oovoo apk I found on xda only force closes. (Even after moving it to system/app)
Thank you

I used my Samsung Fascinate to download it from the market then put it in my dropbox. I'll upload the apk I used to Megaupload in a moment.

Yeah I was on my work's wireless connection so I should have had plenty of bandwidth. Hopefully some updates will come soon!

As I stated in the original post, it didn't work for me. Not sure if anyone else was able to make it happen.

Bump.. still no viable solutions...

Ok, I consider this very important. None working outside of yahoo? Lets all keep searching for a solution. Share your findings ASAP!!
Thanks

Isn't Skype eventually supposed to add video/camera support for tablets in the near future? Thought I recalled a couple of articles during CES about this.

Google Video Chat

Waiting for a port...
And wondering how long before HTC/Verizon gives us our 2.3.4 upgrade.

I'm hoping the Google I/O phone they give out this year is compatible with Verizon's LTE network and gets Google video chat....

^^^ that would be sick!!!

I hope Google Video Chat is better than Skype, I was pretty disappointed with it

It will work on CM7, it'll just take time...ports are slower on TB than on other devices like the OG Droid...

It kind of works on TB if you are running cm7. I can see whom ever I am talking to on the thunderbolt but they can't see me. The quality is pretty good.

Can you forward Google Voice calls to it? Or can you make Google Voice calls within the new Gtalk?

I haven't tried that yet. I have a sipgate account connected to my gvoice so I am not in a rush. You should be able o forward calls to your gtalk account but you cant call from your gtalk to your Google voice.
Also the flashable didn't work for me. I placed the files with root explorer. God I love that program!

(q) video call

Anybody can help me how to make video call on my infuse?thx

Qik is only program I found that worked properly with infuse. It worked good doing a video call with an iPhone 4.

There is an app called Clearsea in the market that is free for now that works very well. We use it on IPads for video conferencing to our video conference system in the office. But I think it can also do device to device video calls as well. Just has to be a SIP or H323 compliant device for it to function properly.

when we get gingerbread we can use google talk to make video calls. skype was working on a video chat release for android and was waiting verizon to give the ok until microsoft bought it. i think we will now have to wait until skype is fully working on windows phone 7 for a few months before they even consider releasing it.

Try Tango. They just updated to work with the infuse 4g. Me personally I like tango better they use Push Notification unlike other that have a process running synchronizing every X time killing battery. With tango I could completely shut it down and still get notified.

ill have to remove my foot from my mouth as it seems the first thing microsoft did with skpe was release video chat for android. its even been hacked to work with galaxy s and galaxy s2 phones with gingerbread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 prolly would work on our phones too, and is yet another reason we need gingerbread!

**** as if I didn't want gb before. Does skype work device to computer too?

yes. thats part of the point. seeing as everyone i know now has a phone with a front facing camera and a skype account, and iphones's facetime and android's google talk dont run on each others platforms, itd be really nice to have skype up and running now.

Must look! Just got off phone with t-mobile executive care

I just got off the phone with a very nice lady from t-mobile executive care and she told me that the official update just got to them last Wednesday and after hearing about all my problems she offered me a G2x with the software update on it and she said it would be here by the end of the week. So T-mobile is rolling out the software update soon she told me and I was so shocked she would even tell me this information. A weird part though is she said she could do the multiple exchange for the G2? That was pretty weird haha

duno man... too many stories thus far

well
well i hope she was right because I am receiving the new g2x this week with the update

No one is going to believe you. The only thing you can do is post screens of the software version etc. once the phone arrives.

Which is really a shame, because after all of this hoopla, we still have no gingerbread kernel, no nvidia drivers, and no lg camera application...and if what we have right now ends up being the official gingerbread update for our phone from t-mobile, then we really don't have much more to hope for.

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mo...provements-retail-stores-receiving-inventory/

Lets hope that she is right and the real update is going to be out. Hopefully this leak isn't another reason to stall it. Am I the only one who thinks the LG camera app was a culprit here? you cant advertise a phone with 1080p recording then remove it in an update because you couldn't get it to work anymore.

It just seems unlikely to me, if LG put out an update that does NOT include their very own camera application, that T-mobile will include the LG camera. And the overall attitude I'm getting for various representatives at T-mobile is that of "take it or leave it." I'm getting the feeling that they are already taking a defensive stance and we pretty much have the best that we're going to get out of them.
We are on our own.

well if you dont believe it dosen't bother me at all because i know what she told me and when t-mobile sends me the official gb update on the replacement i will upload pics and vids for everybody to see because many people think its still far and i just wanted to share the info i got

anybody notice that in the pic on this page http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mo...en-shot-2011-07-25-at-4-18-29-pmwtmk0000wtmk/ it say's "the other cool stuff is still there" and it mentions 1080p video recording?
so, maybe, v21e is not "official"?

I believe you...I just say, "who cares" about an official T-mobile update? We already have the update. And unless something miraculous happened at T-mobile over the past 5 days, then this "official" update is going to be the same that we have...do you think they re-wrote LG's code? They got sent the update for testing...if they are releasing it 5 days later, then it's a pretty good bet that there were no changes to the test update.
Of course, I've been wrong about plenty in my life. But my prediction: "official update" will be the same garbage that the "unofficial" (which was "officially" released by LG already) is, with no LG camera, and no GB kernel.

then that would be false advertising because the specs are listed as 1080p video recording. or does the updated gb record in 1080p? haven't tested yet.

Yeh, I just saw that picture that was linked above my post, and I noticed the 1080 video recording spec listed. I certainly hope that I'm wrong...because I love that LG camera so much more than the aosp version. They are just not even in the same league. But even more important than the camera, would be an updated kernel. Ahhh, what a pleasant fiction.

Who knows...I could have sworn I read a dev post once that even with a new kernel, they would still be handcuffed without Nvidia making their drivers available. But perhaps it would be another little extension to the bridge. For instance, Nvidia might be more willing to make drivers for a GB kernel available AFTER we are actually supposed to have it. Remember, technically, we still don't have gingerbread on our g2x, so there's really no reason for them to do any extra work on that end. But I'm entering an area that I know little about, and the more I type, the more unfounded opinion I'm spewing.

I 2nd this. Why introduce a feature and then downgrade? The LG camera is definitely much more aesthetically pleasing and it has more functions than stock camera.

The Atrix has GB and A2DP works (haven't seen any complaints that it doesn't) in addition to it being 2.3.4...so someone over at Nvidia kicked it into high gear and released A2DP drivers and did something to get over the lack of NEON so that they could get FFC video via Gtalk to work. I would be very disappointed if LG didn't incorporate these changes into their GB ROM but if the ROM they "released" is the ROM we're getting...

YOu mean false advertising like the time they posted on their website and claimed the G2X was quad band and worked on at&t and then when the phone was released no one could get it to work.
Ya i wouldn't put it past them to say they are including 1080p in the update only to later say "sorry mistake"
