Has anyone figured out how to make yahoo video messenger work from their ego to MAC or pc? I can hear the person on the other end but can't see their webcam.

I call my wife from my evo on both our mac and pc with no issue
Using video? Is there a trick to it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yes video and audio comes through just fine we use it when im out on the road alot and seems to work pretty good for being in beta and no no trick to it just load up the yahoo then click on the person you want to vid call and click vid call should be it.
That's crazy. I'll have to try it again. It has never worked for me but I haven't tried it in a while. My son lives out of the state and I talk to him on Skype but I was hoping there would be a phone to computer program I could use so I didn't have to be home for the calls.

it still does not work.
works fine for me as well.
here are the two files ive been using install both but only update the video add on try that and report back.
You have to make sure the PC is using the newest version of yahoo as well V10 or above I think
Earlier someone asked if it worked with MAC. I tried but still does not work but i will try the apk from here.
Any way to fix this? The video is so choppy even with great connection on both sides and i can barely understand the audio. Am i the only one experiencing this? If not, is there a better alternative for video chat?
I just did it once to test it out with someone on a MacBook pro and it was pretty clear and smooth.. maybe cuz we were on the same network?

if possible, try it with 2 transformers. i also tried it running on the same network (15 mbps / 2 mbps) and it's still horrible.
I don't like how there's no SMS and texting support

i just tried it between a d1 Bluetooth tethering to the transformer and my other d1 at home on 3g. Everything smooth.

In Google Talk? Use Google Voice then.
Used google talk and google voice with my transformer and someone else xoom on another network, everything smooth....
I tried across town connected to a win 7 laptop. Was better than acceptable.

Everything seems to work till you go to watch the movie then it will only play for 8sec thru the app. At least I can finish watching the movie thru the TF's browser.
So you can watch the movie in the browser? 720p?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Yes sir. I launched the app, clicked on the video which launched the browser to make the purchase. I ordered the movie, clicked play and it asked me to play back thru the app or the browser. I tried the app and it would only play 8sec then stop. I went back to the browser and this time when it asked me to choose I picked the browser and it worked fine. Yes, in 720p
EDIT: Forgot to mention I was getting an message in the app player something about my rental had expired.
Also, it gives you the ability to display personal videos on a youtube style video wall. Now just gotta figure out how to make cover art show up, instead of the video snippet it uses. This is what I was coming on the boards tonight to actually inquire about - How to show movies with cover art from a screen I could choose from. Problem solved!
I am10 minutes into Hall Pass, playing right out of the app, tethered to my iPhone while in the car. This is super sweet.

so does it work or what can someone else please test the apps ability to play.
Ok I rented "The rite". I was able to play it in the browser and in the video app. Only at 480p though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Ok it only played for a minute in the app. But it still going in the browser. Also I'm able to watch the movie on google tv.

What's up, neighbor in Orlando? I am in Vero Beach...
Super simple...for your 3G (NOT a 3GS, right?) you'll need to jailbreak it and find an app in Cydia called 'MyWi' or 'PDANet'. Both of these will allow you to both tether with the USB cable as well as via wifi and bluetooth. If you have a 3GS, and you happen to be running iOS 4.x, you can download a tweak called 'TetherMe' which enables the native hotspot tethering in iOS4. Good luck...PM me with any questions.

OK so were you on home wifi or 3g when you did this. And how come you were only able to play the movie in 480p. Were you playing it in 480p in the browser or in the app?
Thanks for trying to out
I was at home on my wifi. I played it thru the browser. Paying it thru the app only played it for about a minute. Don't know why it only allowed 480p but it only allow that on my google tv too.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
hmmm the rite is a fairly new movie. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was playing on the web and not on the app. Although that's odd because on YouTube when a video is HD it plays 720. Oh well thanks for answering the posts. Hopefully Google will release the in app video update soon.
Has anyone attempted to stream netflix while using a Bluetooth headset? When I tried this netflix bufferred every 20 seconds or so and when it wasn't buffering, the video was choppy and audio was not in sync. Using wired headset it worked flawless.

Holy [email protected] I thought I was the only one who realized this. I wifi netflix and bluetooth to Jambox and it sucks. Buffers a lot and delayed sound. It even happens when playing a game with the Jambox connected. I take the bluetooth off and it's perfect.

I can't even use the Netflix app because the interface is sooooooo slow. It literally takes five to ten seconds to respond to touch inputs and when I try to scroll through lines of movies/shows, my finger travels the entire screen and the row moves only one or two places over. It's really annoying.
Apparently enabling forced GPU rendering in settings -> developer options will help with Netflix performance. It might cause issues with other apps though, so keep that in mind.

This is the same hardware problem that the prime had. You may notice it on you tube as well. It's because bt/wifi share a antenna. That said I did play around with mine for a few minutes and did not have the problem. Granted I'm sitting pretty close to the router. Check this out.... run the netspeed app to see what you get with bt off. Then start streaming some music to your bt headphones for google music and run netspeed while it's streaming. You will probablly notice a signifcant decrease.

What was mentioned about sharing the same hardware with the wifi/bt in the prime is correct. They use the same chip to decode both signals. So when both are being used at the same time the process slows down for both signals. This is a common occurrence among many portable devices and not just any Asus tablet. I've seen it on my cell phones also. Manufactures are moving to this combined chip process to save in both cost and shrink the size of the devices for smaller cases.
Now having said that, these chips are designed to function with both signals at the same time. If yours is experiencing horrible performance then return it for another. Don't wait for software fixes because they won't fix the hardware. It might improve but chances are higher it won't be fixed. If you wait your return for exchange window may pass.
Iust got an email from B&H about the issue and they said I can get a refund or exchange but they dont know when they are recieving the next batch. Im probably gonna get a refund and buy one elsewhere. Sucks
Does anyone have a Tf700 that actually streams movies over wifi and bluetooth to speaker, ear buds or anything successfully. I don't want to wait for an exchange if no one can successfully accomplish it.

I just did a wifi speed test without bluetooth on and my speed was 28mbs
With wifi on and bluetooth streaming music to my jambox the score dropped to 0.39mbs
That's crazy.
I used the speedtest.net app.
And enabling the gpu in the developer section didn't make any difference.

I've had my Infinity for a few days now and don't have any problems watching netflix while on my blue tooth headset. I always watch Netflix for about an hour in the morning when I'm working out.

Thanks that's what I needed. Its a hardware issue then. Like someone stated before. Just needed someone to try it out.

I am also getting tons of lag and constant disconnects/buffering when trying to watch HBO go or netflix over my stereo Bluetooth headset. I was wondering if there were others that have successfully gotten video to play while using a bluetooth headset other than that one poster. Is it just a defective unit that I received or are other people experiencing the same thing? Do you guys think its worth going thru the trouble of returning the tablet? I guess I am mainly trying to estimate the chances of getting another tablet that has the same issue.

I think any hardware issue is worth going through the trouble for. If you paid $500 for the tab, you might as well ensure everything works. The software can be fixed through official and third-party options but the hardware won't get any better.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, thats pretty much what I was thinking. Its just that the 64GB model is sold out from Tigerdirect and I didn't want to go w/o a tablet until they got them in stock.
B&H is trying to convince me its my router. They say 28mbs isn't fast enough to stream wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. Streaming wifi has nothing to do with Bluetooth. I asked them to make me a RMA tag so I can ship it back.
I'm waiting for their response. If it isn't enough can someone tell me. I don't want to get the same problem I had with the prime.

Can someone run a speedtest on their wifi and then on the wifi while streaming sound to a Bluetooth device to see if there is a drastic decrease in download speed.

Have you tried calling 1-888-678-3688 for help? Its asus' support line. I was told to call that from tigerdirect before they could issue a return. I won't be able to call until after work today though because I forgot my tablet at home >.> But maybe they'll have something to say regarding the matter.
I just called the number and spoke toa Asus representative and here is what they told me
" The Asus Infinity TF700 is not designed to do this because the antenna will cause interference with each other since they both run off the same antenna."
WOW I can do this on my G2x. This disappoints me.

This is how the 300 was advertised. One at a time, not both. I had this problem horribly on the prime. On the infinity I drop from 28mbs without bt to 10 with it. I'm still able to stream just fine so far.

For some reason, we don't get the timeline view on our transformer. Same version on my Dinc2, Epic4g, and Nexus 7 - they all show timeline view. But not the tf700. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix or is this even a known issue - or is it just me?
Thanks for any help!
I also have this problem. Emailed Facebook developers, you should too, and we Will see if somethings gonna happend whitin the closest 100 years!

it's s known limitation of the Android tablet setup. they currently are probably not working to fix it - it took them until just recently to finally fix it on iPad. imagine their priority ranking for Android tabs.
