Please lock this down... Its pointless...and mostly helpless... Nobody seems to use the yahoo video plugin.
And nobody is replying .
It has never worked on nexus s . on gb,ics , ever.
This thread seems like my notepad )).. So please close it or reply somewhat .

666 views and no answer... Def the most unfortunate thread i've started.
I wish i could delete or lock it because i see no one does.
it is not of any help.

I believe the Nexus devices are not compatible with the Yahoo Messenger Plugin. Unfortunately, it's a sad result of poor management of the apps available on Google Play Store.
The reality is, Google doesn't care about the quality of the apps and probably never will, therefore developers can do whatever they like with their apps (In this case Yahoo).
It's sad that you need to get rid of a good device, like Nexus 7, just because you want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger, which is what I ended up doing.
Oh and by the way, the Ipads/Iphones are the only mobile devices where Yahoo Messenger Plugin actually works and works well.
I've had various different Android devices over the last couple of years (Toshiba Thrive 7", Hyundai A7HD, Nexus 7, Motorola RAZR) and they all suffer from issues with Yahoo Messenger Plugin.
Bottom line, you need Yahoo Messenger, get rid of Android!

I would thank you many times for replying ..but I can only pres it once .

Qik for Tab
So for some reason Verizon didn't include Qik on their Tab. I'm trying Tango but it needs directory services and a test number to call ala' Fring.
Wish I had Qik to try tho.

Better Facebook app?

Hi guys,just wondering whether anyone can help to create a better Facebook app?The official Facebook app is great but just some issues with it.I can't seem to view photos that doesn't come with a album and sometimes,the Birthday of some people aren't shown.Lastly,maybe a function to be able to view your mutual friends with a certain someone would be great! This Facebook 'part' I unfortunately feel that the iPhone Facebook app is actually better...So please,any app developer for a better Facebook app???

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help
I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

[Q] Video calls on NS

How it makes?)
Well credits give for a short and simple post
I hear lots of people have success with Tango (Free on the market) but i have not tried any such app myself yet.
I am not sure if the SNS will be able to use the Google Chat (Video) functions we see on recent tablets (ie: the Xoom, it is not a built in function of froyo (my galaxy tab)).
A good old google search or click on related one you find Tango on the market should find you similar apps (read the reviews to find user experiences).
Wish you luck, i'll let you know if i try any video apps in the future.
Cool) Thanks for your post.
Use Qik.
It works awesome and supports both FFC and rear Camera.
I use it very often!
The T-Mobile video chat app from Qik works on the Nexus S. The Nexus isn't listed as a supported phone, but I was able to receive calls from my friend's Atrix. I was also able to place calls to him . . . I think that it works better than Tango.
Skype needs to come into play. Because every other app sucks.

[Q] Koush-ROM Contact-List

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this Forum, and first of all, i want to apologize for my very bad English!
I'm using the new Alpha12 from KOUSH on my I9020 (works fine till now)
Now the question: I have to add a sort of predial number to my contacts to separate between company calls and private calls like:
Usual: 0044 xxxxxxx or +44 xxxxxxx
ME: 980044 xxxxxxx
The problem is now, that if i get a call or a SMS the format with +44 xxxxxx is shown up, and that causes, that the number is not linked to my contact!
Is there a way to fix it?
cheers

No idea? Hmmm perhaps a different question!
Is there a way to get the facebook sync. To work?

FB Sync doesn't work but i think the most people only want to sync because of the contact-pictures...
I use syncmypix and it works great
yes thats what i've found out today *gg*
but the problem is, that the quality is very poor!

[Q] Iphone group text possible?

Does anyone know if its possible for us android users to respond "to all" when iphone users send us a group text? Or even see who's involved in the group text? I've searched and searched and don't think there is a way so I figured Id ask here in case someone knew of a way.

Whatsapp.. That should work. Dunno. Don't use official texting. Whatsapp should work though.
And tell them to get Android. Make fun of them. Show the beautiful widgets. Then tell them to show you a beautiful weather animation on their homescreen. In they pull down the Android rip off pull down tell them it's weak, full screen. It should be easy, you know. On your little dinky screen.

Trust me. I've done literally everything you just listed. I've been an Apple user since the first gen Iphone up until the Iphone 4. Whatapp does work but the Apple user has to download it as well. I'm trying to see if I can connect with their native group text. I guess that's impossible at this point since we cant cross platforms yet. Similar to BBM on blackberries. If there is anyone with any ideas, please share.
Currently we are using Voxer which is pretty neat. However, the iphone user still needs to download it.

Hm. I make my iphone user friend use a Google talk extention. I like it.. He's going android with his next update.. Apple fanboy! I used to be... Woops...

I'm looking for the same solution. Does anyone know of an app that allows android phones to see iphone group chats as group chats rather than breaking everything down into individual text messages that way we can do a reply all rather than having to send the same message to everyone that is in the group? Thanks.
There's plenty of apps that do this. 8sms is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. I've installed the app and it looks nice. I still need to test it out to make sure it works with group text messages with iphones. But I'll update this post once I'm able to confirm that it does or does not work. Thanks

Android 4.2 messaging app does it natively now. And there's also the new Hangouts which allows for group messaging.
Android 2.3.6- 4.0.4 I've used NinjaSMS and can can confirm it works with group messaging. Again, there's also the new Hangouts app.

I'm currently trying NinjaSMS. Hangouts didn't work for my phone. I couldn't send or receive MMS which appears to be a known problem with a few phones. In addition, the 8sms app which was suggest to me also didn't work. It broke up their iphone group text to an indiviual text from each person. Therefore I still had to reply individually to everyone in the group. I'll let you know if NinjaSMS works for me.
