[Q] [HOW] Yahoo Messenger with video call

I tried the latest Vegan and CM 6.2 ROMS and I wasn't able to install a working official Yahoo Messenger with the video call.
I also force install it by downloading the APK of the yahoo messenger and the video call update apk. It installed but it didn't work.
I want to know if this will work since I still have time to return this g-tablet to Sears.
PS: what's the best Facebook app with widget support for the g-tab?

I was able to install Messenger and the video plugin from market this weekend, no problem.
Fyi, on Gtab-to-pc calls the video on the pc end was rotated 90 degrees.

Oops. Sorry. I was using stock 3053 at that time.

I was able to install yahoo messenger just fine through the market. I just tested video calling and the PC user was able to see me just fine with no rotation issue. I'm using vegan b5.1 which also has the gsensor fix. I wonder if that fixes the rotation issue people may be having.

Hi,
That's both weird and good news ...
As mentioned above, I was on stock 3053 at the time, no gsensor fix, so it's possible what you said.
There's a thread under Apps about video calling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882637&highlight=video
and can I suggest you post that info there? Seemed like a few people interested in it.

I tried..
I can't see the official yahoo messenger app on the market so I downloaded the apks online instead.. I Installed them. I lauched it but then it says that the app is outdated and it redirected me to the market but that link to the market wont show anything since not all apps will show on the gtab.
Didn't work on CM6.2 either.

Sounds like you need to do the market fix. Yahoo messengers is one of the apps I check to verify if the market fix was applied correctly or not.

I thought market is fixed once I install third party ROM such as vegan or CM.

Problem Solved!
Part Three – Install Flash and fix Android Market
This is needed to view websites with Flash based content, and to download apps from the market. (Fairly obvious, I know, but just in case somebody doesn't know.) Log in/set up your Google Account before trying the market fix (steps vary on the ROM you are using…in most cases you can access the web accounts by opening the Contacts app, pressing the menu button (the one above the back button), and selecting accounts).
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.
Step 3.
Open the Market app. Once it loads close it (press the home button).
Step 4.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Google Services Framework – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 5.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Market – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 6.
Go back to your home screen and open up the market. You should get an error. If not, redo steps 3 and 4 until you do.
Step 7.
Reboot your device. After it starts back up let it sit for a minute or two to let things in the operating system normalize. Open the Market. Reboot your device.
Step 8.
Open the market again and enjoy. You now have Flash and the Android Market. (Keep in mind, this is not the FULL market, it just makes around 99% of it available. It is unknown which apps are not available. There is a full market fix, but it is MUCH more complicated).

I followed this and everything is working fine now...
Thank for the help..
-- just clicked all the "THANKS" button!

Although I applied the market fix previously. I searched for yahoo messenger again on the market and didnt find it. I had to reapply the fix once again for it to show.

After the awesome fix POST # 11... the Gtab with the latest TnT and unlock market worked for a day and started me giving pop up errors every app click/open.. The virtual keyboard isn't showing up also. I got pissed and returned it to Sears..
Now CES 2011 is showing me so many cool honeycomb tablets, it must be a blessing in disguise.

Lost all paid apps in market

I've been trying to fix a market issue with my SG tab 7.7 so I did a full wipe and reflashed the ROM in CWM.
Now when I go into the market, all my paid apps don't show up as paid, it wants me to pay again (e.g. titanium root, mobile odin etc.) Ditto on the web store as well.
I've filled in the form on the website but I"m not holding my breath for google (lack of) customer service, anybody run into this before?
Checking on my other droids, the same issue appears to be afflicting them as well, even if the app comes up in 'my apps' when I click on it instead of letting me reinstall it wants me to pay again!!!!
EDIT: Please DO NOT BOTHER SUGGESTING any of the normal 'fixes' such as clearing cache/data, clearing google service framework, full wipe, remove and re-add account, check google account is selected etc. This thread is for those of us whom none of the client side fixes work. And yes our web store is also similarly broken. Confirmed its a google side issue via raising a ticket with them. As per google: ""We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it. This complex issue involves several areas of the Google Play Store app and is not an easy fix, so I don’t have a good estimate on how long it will take us to resolve it. As soon as I have any updates, I’ll be the first to let you know.""

Just one silly question. Are you using the same gmail account for your paid market apps ? Is the device id remain the same as it is ?
Touch wood, so far I never experience your issue here. I have did several times of full data wipe with flashed more than 10 different roms from GB to ICS and so far my paid apps still displaying as "purchased". It will appear as "not installed" in "My Apps" section if I haven't re-download/restore them.
Try contact google and probably you need to show them your receipts from the apps you purchased in the past.

Same account, I didn't change any ID or whatever (full wipe and reinstall of same rom). Besides its happening on all 3 droids I own (1 phone 2 tablets).
tried clearing market data, cache, force stop etc. no change.
On web store it says I don't own any apps
As for receipts I have it all in my gmail of course but I have to wait for goog to get back to me, the lack of customer service (e.g. I can't even call someone) is appalling IMO. I have over 30 paid apps so this is super annoying, and now I"m afraid to buy any more in meantime until its resolved lest it screw my account even more

Hey, this is my first post ever on XDA.
I just wanted to say that exactly the same thing has happened to me. I've bought around 50 apps on the market, and as of yesterday all of them started saying that I would need to pay in order to install them.
On the web store it says I don't own any apps, so I'm sure this has nothing to do with my individual device. It seems like a problem on the back-end. Maybe some glitches appeared in the system during the transition to Google Play?
Anyway, I'm stuck in the exact same boat that you are. I've reported the problem to Google via their support form, but aside from the automated response that you get when you first report a problem, I haven't heard anything back from them.
I also started wondering whether the problem might fix itself if I buy another app. But I'm also paranoid about making it worse somehow. Sigh...

Oh, by the way, I'm running an unrooted Galaxy Nexus with 100% stock firmware. So I really think this is issue has nothing to do with custom ROMs - I reckon the problem is entirely on Google's side.

Yep has to be if the web store is borked as well. Also under my apps, all, it sometimes throws 'error connecting to server [RPC]' or something like that
Two of my droids are custom (Atrix w/ ICS Cm9 beta, Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 w/ tweaked stock) but a third is stock unrooted (sony tablet S).
poor form from goog they really need to up their customer service, even if 'sorry we know there's an issue with XYZ and we're working on it'. I've also got 50+ apps lol

yup im having the same, I first thought it was due to my custom FW but seems unrooted stock folk are also having this problem. I made a thread about it a couple of days ago and again all having the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24026026#post24026026
what i found, is if i go to the web store and see my purchase history and click a product, it shows as purchased (like it should) but will not download when clicked, when using the search bar looking for the same app (my case both was titanium pro) it wanted me to purchase.
also, when you try to "re purchase" an app you already have, it will attempt to buy but you get an error, followed by 2 emails, a receipt immediately followed by a refunded email.
on an additional note, "play" has now been added to the black bar google home page above the search results in between maps ans youtube, so it seems they are messing with something

Anyone tried to connect to a 3g/wifi and manually sync your gmail account ? So far I observed is whenever I just wiped my phone. It will take awhile to fully synced back my email, contact, calendar and the last one which should be google market place.
Try don't take any attempts to make it work and let it be under internet connection and see if they will come back by their own. Just don't do any full wipe again, and performs a normal personal data restoration (like titanium backups). Let it be like 1 day normal usage with internet connectivity and see if those missing apps will appear back or not.
My personally experience is that I didn't actually take any action when I see them blank after full wipe. I proceed and busy with my gmail account login, sync back my contact and calendar, then performs titanium restoration and sms restoration. Eventually they just appeared after couple of hours or maybe 1 day or I dunno, I didn't actually care about it as I just know that they will come back to me and so far the app did appear back by its own in "My Apps" section.

none rooted stock phones are also having this problem, so im not sure its anything to do with wiping the cache and thanks, but thanks for the input.

Out of curiosity, have you tried purchasing an app that you didn't already have? What happens then?

I've been hit with this too. My apps on the website are completely gone. The orders are still there, thank god. So if google ever actually try and help I can prove I bought them.
All I did was clear cache and data in the play store on ICS because I couldn't download updates. Did they change clear data so it wipes EVERYTHING server side?
My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page. If I try and update my apps it asks me to pay.
My nexus one on GB still uses a really old version of market (I froze the updater some time ago) and that's working fine at the moment. I can do updates ok too.
On my xoom I unistalled updates to pre "play store" re-brand (so plain old android market) and it shows all my apps and lets me update them without asking me to pay again. Next time I open it, I'm back on the play store with no apps listed in "my apps". So I uninstall updates again next time I need to use it. There doesn't seem to be an updater to freeze any more.
I daren't try buying any new apps in case that messes it up even more.
As a short term workaround try using an older version of the market. The one that works for me is 3.3.12.
I've tried going back to a nandroid from a couple of weeks ago, didn't work. I've wiped, flashed, market doctored, everything I could think of. No help. This is definitely server side.
I've sent emails to google but they haven't replied. I sent a few because there wasn't an option for "you deleted everything on my account for no reason."

"My playstore on my ICS xoom has a completely blank "my apps" page."
My playstore on my ICS Galaxy S2 had the same bug. I installed a free app, cleared my playstore and did a Restart. I don´t know why, but my apps are here again.

Nope, play store on my computer is also blank. The orders are in google wallet, but the apps aren't there in "my android apps".
I know it sounds completely ridiculous, but my account has been wiped on the server. I've attached some screenshots. The first 2 are what happens when I go to play.google.com "my android apps" (I always get one or the other), the third is my xoom's store, the 4th is google wallet showing a handful of the apps that should be there.

Hopefully Google will fix this soon. Or at least reply to one of us... maybe
If you contact the titanium developer he might be able to send you the old version of the pro key. It's just a file you put on your sdcard. He's always been really helpful when I had issues.

I got a reply from Google Play Support, but it seemed like a canned response: it was mostly suggestions to try things I've already tried, such as logging in with the correct account, making sure I've upgraded to the latest version of the Play Store app, or doing a hardware reset of the device.
I replied with a more detailed explanation, and included several screenshots to illustrate the problem.
I also included a link to this thread. Hopefully someone at Google will realise that there's a problem on their side that needs to be fixed.

I haven't even gotten a single response short of the initial auto reply, and its nearly 72 hours. Pathetic really. If I was an apple customer and lost all my itunes purchases.......... GAH google get it sorted

[Q] Google play store not working

Hey everyone,
Title says it all really over the past few days over several devices and different users in my household we have noticed that Google play store isn't working properly, we are receiving errors, connections issues and general problems overall.
I contacted Google who didn't do much in all honesty and they advised me to clear the cache for the app on my phone and clear data on both app and googleplay services, which I have done but since doing so my okay store loads but I get the error message check you connection and try again.
I have reinstalled the app using the apk on here and still the same problem.
I'm not to worried about it as I'm pretty sure the problem lies with Google especially since its happening in several device (using different accounts and same accounts)
Is there a fix for this or is it Google causing the fault as I have searched the net and found people with similar issues. (isitdownrightnow.com)
Many thanks

Got this one solved for you mate, had the same problem.......... All to do with automatic time and date being out of sync with the play store. Go to time and date settings disable the automatic time zone and automatic time and date. change the date manually to say....the same date but 2013. go back to home, then go back to date and time settings, enable both time zone and time & date auto's, and hey presto........play store's back to normal.
happy days

What do you mean when you say "not working"? Do you get an error message? Does it simply crash/force close?
Did you do something to the devices between the Play Store working and not working? Did you change your internet setup somehow? Did you move to a different country? Did you start worshiping Lord Xenu?
Play Store needs to be a system app. You say you reinstalled it, so I'll assume your devices have root. When you sideload an app it installs as a "user" app. Play Store needs to be a system app. Use whatever app you used to uninstall it to change it to a system app (most root apps that can uninstall system apps have this feature...if what you used doesn't, you can find ones that will, some free). If this isn't the cause of your problem, we'll need more info to help you.

Royole FlexiPi - The First Unfoldable Phone - [Discussion Thread]

Hi dears,
I don't how many... but as soon launched, I placed my order for the 128GB version.
It is: http://www.royole.com/flexpai
Now... as soon payed, I didn't get any update and I raised up the case to PayPal as well.
Despite my path, I hope for you a better feedback, what's your opinion about?
Cheers.,

Love it!! Waiting for foldable tablet since years
Just curious to read your review
Please let me know
The only bad stuff: it isn't completely flat when opened

Mine was OK, the SIM card holder tip broke off but can still insert a SIM card. I have tried many different things. I used the Chinese app to download something called "Go" when I open the app, I see Royole and references to Play store. I still cannot get it to work. I tried to create a Royole account (no luck still).
I use my Huawei phone to convert the Chinese to English (camera/hivision). They have FAQs in the app, and it implies I needed to disable two factor authentication but it doesn't work still.
I hooked up the FlexPai to ADB/Logcat to see the debug messages and I see security exceptions. So I fear we may need to root (and this is outside of my expertise).
I use the web versions of google apps as a temp workaround (outlook for email). Some apps work some apps don't.

Hi, Ive got some google functuonality installed on my flexpai (google maps is ok, playstore working but no possibility to sign in)
I am looking to install the google account apk for pie. You should have to install manually some google apk and for pie!!!

google-play-services-16-1-53-000300-242560017.apk

Hi looks promising.
In your list of 3 apks two of them are actually the same "app" just different versions
com.google.android.gms is the same as Google Play Services.
You need this one
com.google.android.gsf_9-4832352-28_minAPI28(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
plus this version of Google maps
com.google.android.apps.maps_10.16.1-1016101040_minAPI21(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,x86,x86_64)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
AND IT WORKS!!! great work.
I can't log in but maps works otherwise.
maybe we need to latest google account manager - looking into it.
thanks
I found an account manager for Android Pie but no luck.
I look at logs in ADB - and it seems there are permissions that are not granted
nable to get provider com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider: java.lang.SecurityException: You need MANAGE_USERS permission to: get the profile parent
I tried to grant using ADB shell but cannot.
So in an area I don't have expertise on.
I see we can unlock our bootloader so potential for other ROMs and root to address these issues

Thanks a lot !!! I will use some tips on the sharp aquos S2 forum where @heineken78 xda member was successfull to give gapps to chinese models and to optimize romes with treble or not

Quick update,
Just installing this one APK
com.google.android.gms_17.1.91_(100400-247666647)-17191037_minAPI28(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
then issue these two command from adb:
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.READ_LOGS
helps a lot.
Apps like flipboard, sirius etc now work (when they didn't before).
Apps not working for me still: pushover, textnow and the google apps (where I need to login).

With many attempts, no. I even tried to root and this was unsuccessful. What did work so I could get some apps onboard was downloading the apk for Amazon app store. Finally have YouTube and other apps for viewing video content and some cool games.

Yes, I could load my Gmail and YouTube by signing in. I had intentions as well to use it as a daily device however I'm experiencing connectivity challenges with wifi and my data. Royole is supposed to be sending out an update soon to address some of the challenges we in North America are experiencing.

For youtube, could you login to your google account?

Yes it is unlikely one can use this as their main phone, but it's close.
Google apps (or any other app) that needs to login (locally on device) will not work.
For the Youtube (Version from the Amazon store), the login is cloud based (so it works).
One can use Chrome to login to Google photos, GMail, Drive, etc (as the login is Cloud based).
For an alternative to Google Maps, try MapQuest.
Interestingly the Microsoft Apps work really well (Launcher, Cortana, OneNote & other office apps).
For Apps like Flipboard use an email account (not Google account).
See my above post on the Google Services APK to get other apps working.
Here is why I cannot use as my Main Daily Driver. I depend on apps like Pushover (doesn't work at all), Paid Google Play Store apps (PocketCasts), Some Banking Apps (it detects the Flexpai as "non compliant'), Google Assistant (I really depend on that as a developer), Some Widgets (Currency), Android Wear (Watch while I haven't tested It depends on Play Services), Focals (Smart Glasses), Duo, TextNow, Feedly.
It is a good preview to what a Huawei Phone without Google Play Store/Services will be like : )
I use it as a second device (Foldable Tablet) and I find it quite usable.

Oh sounds good. Where did you get the news from? If they remove the Google playstore or Google services limitations, it would be really helpful.

I just got update 1.0.27 a couple of days ago (It was huge just over 1.7 GB). I am in Toronto (Rogers). I don't have any connectivity issues though for Wifi I find it weak on 5 Ghz, but LTE is not bad.
Can you confirm you are able to login to GMAIL using the android app (or did you mean via a browser)?
thanks

I received this news from the seller in China.

Google access
Hello guys,
Good news to see all thé flexpai owners !
I will try to manage the Google authentification soon. My flexpai is coming back in 2 days after a problem of broken screen.. The bubbles near the hinge were huge so i managed to glue and lay the screen protector.. And it brokes.. (galaxy fold syndrom don't try to remove the protection layer).
The New firmware should help to access google

Hi Guys,
Any news about the Google Services in Flexpai?

Mate 30 pro questions that are not easily searchable (just bought 5g 8+256 China)

Hi guys, came from my old 3 years old s7 edge in China,
Just bought an 5G/8+256gb/LIO-AN00,
I've got a few questions which: any question answered is ok for me
1) any other app to mimic youtube app (the only app i miss, because the browser is not as intuitive as the app) do i really need the google app store?
---btw, if i install it, will the google app store begin to suck more battery power?
2) my old phone, s7 edge, i could take some pictures, and those pictures have something like a mini 3 second video, how do i activate it again with huawei, or what apps do i need, and what it is called?
--- How do I organize pictures gallery for oct/nov/dec, etc. Sending picture inside wechat displays the date it was taken, but at the gallery nope
3) what's that "boost" supposed to do?
4) Huawei Mobile Services, seems like they permission for everything, there's a pop up every time after i use wechat pay, are those safe?
5) any way to combine both gestures and the 3/4 buttons together?
6) On the (3 android) buttons, when you press the one that makes multiple windows appear (left to right) to go to task or close, how can i make it appear up/down(cascade)?
Miscellaneous questions
any other app to count my steps? i know huawei health have it, but the UI is a bit ugly (unlike my s7)
Any way to transfer the old notes from my old device?
what are your though on the browser?
thanks!

Hey. Are you able to do real time segmentation in your video recording?
Like the video below suggest as I am unable to with the same phone
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YSSX8-Ymo0w

i couldn't find any options that do that under video edit, and during video editing, nor any good info on google, maybe it'll come later or having some difficulties?

Hopefully. Because I've been searching everywhere and nothing about it. Should have been included as promised at the event launch

Newpipe for YouTube. Get f-droid store. For downloading apps from play use aurorastore. not sure if working on this model but you can also check out MicroG.
