Skype 2.0 video chat on g2x.?

Hey xda well Skype just update and now has video chat on nexus s and a couple other phones and I was wondering if there's a way to make it think we have a nexus but I'm pretty sure it might be the same steps when people tried the Netflix app. Also I think I read its only gingerbread not sure anybody on cm7 might give it a try.? Thanks xda.

I am interested in getting this working as well. I use skype for business as well as to my brother in law in Alaska. It would be nice to use my phone instead of being tied to a less mobile laptop.

+1 so far there is no way to have a video call to a pc.. whether it is skype, gtalk, or msn

+1 comeon skype - i have dual camera's and wifi/fast3g on my g2x - i just want some video chatting to other skype folks.

When oovoo updates thier app, we'll be able to use that to video call computers.

There is a solution for that in the atrix thread. I am using it and I can switch between bfc and ffc.

You have to change multiple lines in the build.prop. Not just the line that shows your phone model. I used this method to get my MLB at-bat live to work on my Vibrant 4g.
My G2x isn't rooted yet, but if someone posts the build prob I can show you the lines to change.
Try:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
If that doesn't work post a build.prop file... I believe another line might need to be changed..

[Q] Cannot Text Past 160 Characters

Problem: The stock 2.3.5 messaging app stops me at 160 characters because that's when it is suppose to automatically split the text, but it stops me and will not allow me to type anymore. I cleared the messaging app data and it still does the same thing. I have to send 2 separate text messages, which I may ad is very very very annoying.
Situation:
1. I'm on full stock Nexus S 4G 2.3.5. I'm not rooted.
2. I am using Google Voice and I have updated to the latest version, and I have set it to use my messaging app. I am using the stock 2.3.5 messaging app because that's the one I like.
3. I have isolated the problem to the 2.3.5 stock messaging app. I unported my number from Google Voice, and uninstalled it, and still the messaging app will stop my at 144 characters.
Help me? Is this a known issue? I haven't tried restoring to defaults, doing an RTN reset, or going back to 2.3.4 yet, but I will if that'll fix it. I do not want to use third party application either. I like the stock app and I find this very stupid that this is the only phone that I have encountered this on. I remember this working before, but for some reason I can't anymore. I think I was still on 2.3.4 before though.

Please? Help me out...

You can find a modified mms.apk from cm7 here that allows over 160 characters with automatic split.

I don't think so. My stock mms apk splits messages just fine. Only I have i9023, don't know if it's different with SPH-D720

This is a known issue and one of the things I hated... As stated above there are some flashable mms files that have the limit removed.. But of course I think root and recovery would be needed.. The file I am using works awesome.. So they def do fix this issue.

Then it isn't splitting correctly.

put that in your system/app/ folder with root explorer or adb shell

Okay thank you for your help. It seems that sprint isn't built it automatically split for the nexus, and when you remove the limitation it can't handle it causing the corruption. The messaging program itself had to have a built in thread splitting setting.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Mine did that too at first.. If you change the setting in the messaging app to split the text or add the split counter, it works.. Mine now show 2 of 2 at the end, but it works without the jumbled letters...

You come back and tell me that when six months later you still don't have Ice Cream Sandwich. Why not wait for the Nexus Prime.

Trying to install the leaked apk on a leaked ICS room (the newest leak). It won't let me install it. Have any one else tried? Have install from unknown sources enabled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

I had to use root explorer and push it in the system/app folder. If you have the vlingo.apk you need to rename it to vlingo.apk.old, put the new apk in that folder, set the permissions and restart. It'll load but as soon as it tries to reply to your request it will probably force close.
Edit: after doing those steps go back into the system/app folder with root explorer and install the apk like a normal app. After that its been working great!

Try this.

Downloaded the apk and installed like usual. Works great, only thing that I can't do is change the wake up word. The phone crashes.

Tried this link, installed fine, and acts like it is working good. Except after I do a voice command, it won't take another until I exit app and come back in.

Hope i'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this suggestion. You might want to try the app AVX on the market. It is a great voice command program. Took me about a week or so to get it working the way I want but love it now. You can also change the wake up phrase.

This doesn't work well. Extremely slow, laggy and voice recognition 90% of the time can't recognize the command. is this working better for anyone using a skyrocket?

Got it to work using Root Explorer and the system/app folder method, thanks. It force crashes when I try to set up my "Wake up command". Other than that, it seems pretty functional, alibet laggy.

Agreed. Cant stand it. Seems like Siri is the one and only thing Apple has over Droid. Although, i still would not trade a box full of iPhone 4S's for my Skyrocket. (No, this is not a troll post. I hate Apple with a burning passion.) I just wish we could get something comparable to Siri. I'll patiently wait.

Unable to use Facebook on TB with latest app release

Now I am having this issue with my Thunderbolt with the latest FB update. On WIFI no issue, but no go on 4G, wifes HTC Rezound has no issues with the updated version either. This is very frustrating for sure. I have uninstalled the app, cleared cache, pulled battery, etc. I have reported to FB too, but wanted to see if others here are having same issues.

Here's what works for me, I NEVER use the facebook app, I delete it from my phone completely and log on to facebook mobile with my brower and then add it to my bookmarks.

Interestingly enough mine is actually working better than it has been in a while. The only issue I have is when my 4G flutters up and down. I am currently unrooted and stock as if my 4G keeps having this issue I am going to be doing some yelling down at Verizon.

Have you tried using another app like Friendcaster?

Remove, install older version from backup, disable auto update.
Backup often! Airdroid is the bom for that.

Are you rooted and using a ROM? Might be ROM related. I know this is the first time Facebook has worked for me this flawlessly.
