So far Tango will download but not install.
Newest Version of fring will run but error out on video chat.
Yahoo video chat will freeze.
Anyone have any luck getting Tango Video Chat to install or any video chat program to work on their Archos 70 or 101?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can figure this out.
I am in the same boat. Would really like a video chat app cause my wife is always on this and im on my evo
Try this version of fring, it is a older version, but it works for me...
Moved to general as not android development.

Thank you. I really want to avoid Fring but I guess it's better than nothing at all.
I guess nobody is having luck with any of the other video chat apps, so it's not just me.
Hi,
yahoo msg works pretty well, even to other platforms like iphone/pc.
its on market but take care, dont use "yahoo msg droid", that dosent support videochat
Anyone have the apk for the video im add-on? I've tried about 7 ways to get to it on the market and for some reason I can't find it. Even links straight from yahoo's website come up empty... Very frustrating.

I just moved the Video add on over from my Incredible as well as yahoo messenger and tested it out. No go for me. I was able to get video calling working, but the cam on the tablet would not output to the other person. Also the cam feed to the tablet was about 2fps and very laggy. Back to the drawing board. I have no use for fring since I'm trying to go from PC to Tab. Let me know if anyone else gets any where with it.
Sorry I just got my 101 yesterday and did not do enough research. Updated to new firmware .71 and messenger works!

Here are the apk coming together
Yahoo! Messenger video did not work for me
Those files wouldn't connect for me but after much much searching I found an updated Video plugin but I need the Yahoo! Messenger v1.3.1.apk which seems to be the latest version but that file is a ghost (for me) and as always its not in the Marketplace (also for me)(yes I did the "marketplace fix" and yes I reinitialized) so how's about someone post a new messenger apk if not for me then for all like me
Good news guys. I was able to have the latest version of Tango Video Chat installed and it worked well in my limited testing!!
I imported the backed up .apk from my phone and install was smooth. When it asked for a phone number I used the same number that I use for my cell. Got the verification text with no issues.
I had to restart the application a few times for it to pick up my Tango contacts and once it did, I placed a video call to my fiances iphone and it worked like a charm!
There was a slight delay in audio (to be expected) and video quality was a good as our camera would let it be. Playing with the night settings in the built in camera app helps tremendously.
I'm really happy with how things are progressing on my A70.

can you post what version Tango you used or even better yet post the apk file.
I got the version from Market and it installed fine. Even got the contact of my friends samsung epic (which also has tango installed). Was able to initiate call and it rang on her phone but then archos 70 froze.
That's weird, I downloaded tango from the market and installed and ran normally. I'm using an archos 70. It needed a phone number, so I just put my cell number and I ran a test run with my friend and we video chatted, although we were right next to each other.
It was a bit choppy but usable.
Market version works for me also (A70).
I was excited to get 2.3.4 so I can try to get the video gtalk working
It works on a lot of non nexus S phones (my brothers galaxy S for example)
I simply flashed a zip for him, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
But trying with the latest CWM for Atrix 2.3.4, I always get status 0 (installation aborted)
I also used Gtalk installer from the market, and it installs fine and I can see video icons but when clicked, the app just disappears and comes back, nothing happens
That link has most of the methods, but the zip I used on a Galaxy S (and works) is attached.
PS: I also flashed the google apps zip successfully, but the Gtalk video still doesnt work.
Lots of mentions of 'GoogleServicesFramework.apk' being the culprit
The front facing camera is probably the culprit here. There are specific versions of Qik for the Atrix, so I'm assuming there would be a specific version of gtalk for us too.
Have you guys even tried the front camera? It's black and white, rotated 90 degrees off and stretched. The front camera for the hk 2.3.4 build is really messed up for now.
i was noticing it was skewed weird, but using qik and yahoo messenger on my wifes end the video looked fine, on my end its rotated weird but in full color
I installed the CWM zip using root explorer (put the 3 files in the right places, googleframework and talk.apk in /system/app and the lib file in /system/lib and change all permissions to rw-r--r--)
I get all the video icons and I can make a voice chat, but the voice chat never reaches the other person (me on a separate account on my computer). When my test account calls the account on my phone the phone does not receive it either.

moto stated that the camera should use the ffc driver in gingerbread (froyo didn't have a built in driver) so i don't think that is the root if the issue

Agreed, once an official USA release version of Gingerbread comes out, that is. I think the dev phone/beta/whatever status of the 2.3.4 leak we have is the problem.

thank for this
With S-OFF now complete, can we flash google video apks on to our E3D's yet?
it works well I think it does. LOL
I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793 and downloaded alternate 3, flashed via recovery, then went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13976634&postcount=414 and flashed that via recovery. Signed into gtalk and my video worked. I saw myself via pc gmail gvideo chat. But my desktop had no webcam. so i'll try on my gf's mac pro and get back to you.
Ok, I just tried it it works great!...smooth on 3G too! damnnnnnnnnnnn this blows skype into the water man!
THANK YOU Alpharev and team win! you just justified the reason for buying this damn phone!

on your second link - did u flash the attachment or the one in the post text?
how functional is it for you guys?
I tried one where everything worked great but I noticed that others couldn't tell that I was video capable so I would have to initialize every video chat.
Then others that was fixed but the video was upside down.
Just tried doing that and it works great! although i still cant figure out how to switch camera's and that would be nice. but streaming is pretty clear, especially compared to qik / tango / fring....
If you go to the main thread one of the attachments is talk1.3.nowifi.v2-signed.zip. This is the only one that has worked correctly for me but it does not give you the option to use the rear camera. All of the others I tried flip the video vertically (and put the display in 3D mode when using the rear camera). But I also noticed that when first only installed that it wouldn't show up on other computers that I had video. I think what fixed that was installing a new GoogleServicesFramework.apk from gtalk1.3b.ffc.signed.zip.
i have tried multiple versions... even the 1.3 tool from the market, most result in some type of error (especially ones that allow switching to rear camera) im guessing since we have dual cameras gtalk doesnt know what one to choose, and forces phone to think its in "3D" mode.
MagnusRagnarok (maker of Bl00dyB3AST-3d MOD) pointed me to MoDaCo version
Pros:
-Works on 3G or Wi-Fi
-when i tested with Gmail, gmail saw my phone as video capable
Cons:
-When installing, after getting SU access, it held up on "rebooting" i had to MANUALLY reboot for it to finish.
-NO REAR CAMERA CAPABILITY
other things i noticed that arent really pro's or cons
-after reboot, had to sign into google services again
-works in landscape/portrait
-using the text feature works
all in all i think ill stick with this version even tho there's no rear camera

Here is a link to the app you were talking about. It was very easy.
Just installed the Tmobile ROM update for my Mytouch 4G. (Android 2.3.4)
No rooting, no changing files/permissions, etc...
I had to fully uninstall the Netflix App, then I installed the Version 1.3 apk.
Everything seems to work including video and sound.
Just figured I would let others know since I know there were a few asking questions who didn't want to go to a custom ROM just yet.
If you have not received the Tmobile push for the ROM update, it has been stated that you can stop by any Tmobile retail store to receive the update. I did read that if the store does it for you, you definitely need to back everything up (which everyone should be doing in some manner anyway).
Enjoy
I did the same and works for me
Netflix
Same for me. Love the new update!
FYI, for anyone who is getting "can't connect to Netflix Service" error or anything like that, move the app to your SD card and it should work fine. No idea why it only works for me on the SD card, but whatever, it works.
Do you have the apk link for the Netflix?

Oh my, I wonder if we still have any photon 4G users around here... I'll try with some wishful luck :laugh:
Stock ROM, 2.3.5, Sprint, Root Only.
Youtube Version : 5.0.21 = videos play fine directly via the app when connected on 3G/4G but never on WiFi, error : There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry. - this error just started last month. Cache/Data clears did nothing. I have a Nexus 7 Stock Android 4.4.X tablet that also connects & plays youtube videos to the same Wifi network without a problem. Other data-related apps (e.g. gmail, browser) work fine.
Interestingly, I can still view youtube videos on other apps like Reddit News, PVStar+ Pro (both on Wifi + 3g/4g). It's just when directly loading the youtube app, this error appears. I can search and see content but all I get is that Touch to Retry" I tried uninstalling back to the original stock version of youtube that originally came with the photon and it was able to play via WiFi, but I lose my option to view embedded videos on Reddit News app (needed v5.0.21 to do that).
So I'm rooted + have my MSL if needed to edit anything. Has anyone experienced this or found a better apk version that works?
Yep!
Getting the same issue on my end.
Honestly stopped using my phone to do anything like game or watch videos since I got it.
Much rather buy a new phone than bother with all the problems I've gotten using this one.
I know this is offtopic but I just found this post on the atrix forum about a photon user flashing the atrix's 4.4.4 kitkat rom on his phone. The thread is titled "MB855need some help". He states that everything seem to work fine but, the camera, light and distance sensor, and button's light don't work. He was trying to get attention from devs to make it work on this phone but it seems they are already too busy with other projects, so I was thinking if we could get some attention from a dev for this phone we could get an almost-working kitkat rom. You can find the 4.4.4 kitkat rom in the atrix's development forum.

I am temporarily back on my Photon. My use of videos on WiFi has never been an issue. I am using GSM on a formerly Sprint CDMA model. I had the update that prevented full unlock, but I was able to modify everything necessary regardless. So, I don't know if my configuration is standard, but I have my old files on the SD card. I'd be glad to help if I can. I can look at this more tomorrow sometime. I was just wandering by as I was working on my new phone... it's late.
I used the one out of mof 2.3.5 ish rom and it works perf3ct. If I update I get the error again

Bringing this topic again for 2015 as it seems like it's still never been resolved for the photon 4g to install the latest youtube update on google play (it's been like this for such a long time, and the only version that still seems to work with some functionality at least if playing videos via the in-app embedded view feature on the reddit news app, this is youtube v5.0.21) - That same version won't play anything if you launch the youtube app on its own - would love to hear if any Photon 4G CMDA survivors have found any workarounds in getting this to work or if you have another higher/newer youtube apk build version, please let us know what that is - thanks
Everything else on the Moto P4G is still working great... for regular voice/data-mms-text/gmail/.web browsing on firefox app, it's still doing fine.
Also, looks like PVStar+ Pro/Regular have been taken off the Google Play Store... which was really the only viable alternative to youtube + the photon 4g. If you know of any other apps that still work for gingerbread like this, it would be good to just know too.
p.s. emailing youtube developers has yet to ever get a response (e.g. been trying around 1x a month).
