HI all,
I have a problem with Skype on my Tf300T : my friends can see me with my webcam, but i can't see them.
My screen only display my webcam (i see myself and not my friends)...
How to correct that and see my friends ? Thanks
Have you tried using Google Talk to video chat. That's what I use and I think it works much better than Skype.
As for why your friends cannot see you, make sure your front facing camera is enabled.

I find using putting the camera on, then off then on again makes it work. It happens to me when sending, receiving and changing the camera. Just press the button to send then, press it off, and on again...same with them. It's an annoying issue, my Skype sometimes forces a reboot too...I wish I'd not 'upgraded' to 4.2. Hope this helps.

It's great. If all of your friends already have a Google Talk account then you're good to go. It gives you 3 options. Text, voice chat, or video chat. Very nice app indeed.

I have installed the flashable update file.
Voice chat works, audio quality is very good.
I don't test video chat

I forgot about that one +1
The voice wasn't working for me. The video was but I could only see their video, they couldn't see mine.
EDIT: Scratch that. Voice works both ways. Video still only works one way and I still don't appear to the user to have voice/video capability, but I can call them.
It installs okay for me. Running superaosp v6.2, but the voice chat options are grayed out. Maybe because of my rom?
Edit: okay now it's working. Weird.

If you have a 2.3 rom on it, it might. It seems 2.3.4 might be required for it to work 100% though. If you are running 2.2.x or lower, it won't work since it uses the new camera API in Gingerbread.
Does this enable me to dial to any phone number using my Google Voice account (ie no cell phone minutes) similar to the function in Gmail on a PC?
I think it works only on WIFI. If I try calling someone on mobile data, it asks for WIFI connection. Anybody else having this issue. Sorry if I am missing something very basic here ( CM 7.0.2)

There's a wifi plus 3g version floating around xda somewhere.
I'm using it and work well with 3G
Can you please post the apk or link of the[forum thread. I tried searching but could not locate the specific thread. QUOTE=baseballfanz;14287497]There's a wifi plus 3g version floating around xda somewhere.

just look at the link in the OP:

No voice nexus one
Tried several versions on my nexus one:
gtalk1.3.nowifi.ffc-signed.zip
JVQ_Talk2_v1_2.zip
talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip
used adb to install
All claim to be talk1.3
But I don't see any voice icon, and in a chat, selecting 'more' shows voice chat is grayed out.
I DID enable voice/video.
Only thing I can think of is I'm on 3g, not wifi ATM. But several of these versions should allow voice on 3g, right?
If you want to make calls from your tab just go to the market and get NetTalk it is free and work great using both wifi and data for placing calls. Only downside is no inbound calls, hey but I am sure someone will build a workaround.

Tried it, it works. I was able to dial my cellphone through my tab using nettalk.. I gave my 4 year old my tablet she started talking I can hear her but I wasnt able to talk back to her. Any suggestions welcome...

Well I know there can be a little delay sometime when talking but never unable to hear the other part. Try using the speaker phone option on your phone that may help. Not practicle but my help?

I can't find this app in the market, can post a link to it? Thx.
EDIT: found it in webmarket, but says its not compatible with galaxy tab....does anyone have a link to the apk file?
Groove IP and Google Voice, it works like a charm so far. I have my Tab rooted and can call normally, but I wanted wifi calling, without Skype. This app did the trick, it's actually pretty amazing. This should work on a wifi only tab as well.
The app is like $4 and worth it. I am still tweaking the call quality settings, but I am happy. You can find the Facebook page if you need to talk to the dev, and he/she seems pretty responsive.

from my Understanding this will be working in gingerbread once it is released. This also goes for skype
It works great... but it really needs the ability to start a hangout. I do think that this is coming. Punit Soni seems to indicate it.

Transformer IS an Android device! Probably you meant something else.
Also that post about Gingerbread - I hope I'll never see it on my eePad.
I've seen Hangout in iPhone menu, though - shorthanded by Google itself! Would be a real ***** if there's Hangout on ipads already.
As of now I can only join Hangout initiated by others, there definitely should be a button in Transformer app, too. Can anybody check if it is there on any other Android devices? My phone doesn't have a front camera, no Hangout button there.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
yeah i know what the transformer is, that's why i posted the answer that you
can NOT start a video hangout with Android device, be it a phone or tablet.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Sorry, it wasn't clear from your first post.
Nevermind, what I mistakenly assumed was Hangout on iPhone was in fact Huddle, on Android it's called Messenger.
I managed to start Hangout form the computer and join from Transformer but, interestingly, there was no big blue "Join Hangout" button in iPhone stream that I had on eePad, I though it worked on iOS already.
It's hard to explain how to use these things to people on the other side of the circle if each of them has different functionality depending on their device and platform. Anyone seen it working on iOS?
I found an old skype apk that ahs the advanced settings to enble video calling. It tried to work, made a call but video never initialized, did have call audio though... After that it logs me out. Cant log back in. Wondering if a developer could take a look at it and posibly fix it or everyone.
Heres the apk for everyone

AFAIK it's a driver issue between Skype and Nvidia. It would be good to see a working version.
Latest Skype update just added video calling for our transformers!!!!!!!!!

Agree, tested it and video call works.
My transformer is complete. Skype video calls now works.

+1! Very excited about this feature.. Video quality ain't half bad either!
I don't want to have to pull out my phone every two minutes to send/read a text message while using my tablet. I used Airdroid on my computer to read and send text messages on my phone, but it doesn't work on the tablet. Anyone know of an app to do this?

I'm using Tablet Talk:

So how much battery does it actually drain while constantly listening over BT or WiFi?
SyncSMS

Preferably something free. I don't care if I have to be on the same wifi network, that's how Airdroid works

As far as I know, there are no free options that sync between your two devices (i.e., they take care not to screw up your conversation list).

MySMS is a pretty handy app which i use regularly on my tab, pc and phone.
The UI doesn't seem to be as fluid on the tab as it does on the pc and phone though (even with hardware acceleration turned on in MySMS settings).
I've always used Google Voice.
Pro: Free txt and calling (in US)
A spare phone number.
Gmail email notification & copy of txt
Con: No sync with phone

what do you mean? The messages i get on my phone using gv, show up on my tablet as well. If someone calls my phone and leaves a message, the notification pops up on my tablet as well. Is that what you mean? Every message i send and receive using GV, shows up on both devices.

I should have explained a little further.
I use my Google Voice number to txt from a PC or my Tab 8.9 and do not use GV on my cell. I haven't linked the two numbers yet.
Due to a current medical condition I can't talk, thus the various work arounds for emailing & texting.
