I have installed the leaked yahoo messenger with the Video chat add on from XDA post.
I have tried to connect with another PC, that didn't work
I have tried with an iPhone4, I can receive the call, but once I accept the call, it goes to a blank screen. I can't make any outgoing calls.
Even when the video comes on, its all distored and you cant even see the video.
I have The Samsung Vibrant with Tmobile rooted. does anybody have any ide about fixes or suggestions ??????
I can't get logged in at all. I have tried my screen name as well as my wives and get the message that there have been too many log in attempts and log in has been temporarily disabled.
it seems like u might be having issues with logging in to yahoo messenger for some reason ... try to log in to the full site on a pc or something to make sure that the yahoo account hasn't been deactivated or something ...
Mine works fine, and I can start video call, but transmission of video doesn't take place, its distorted ....
I hope somebody can find a fix for this, I need it to see my family who live across the globe

That's what I thought, I can log into messenger on my laptop and desktop. Tried again on my phone and still no dice. Guess I will uninstall and wait for the public release.
it works for me nice quality on my optimus one the only problem is the tilted video
in my case with the latest update of yahoo msngr chat/voice and video plugin and works fine not lagging, video quality is fair enough but the only thing that brings me headache is the tilted video in sideways no matter what angle my phone it always tilt sideways.. can someone also help me with that
This may be a lame objection but how tacky is it to have yourself listed as a contact in your directory
Qik video lists me as someone I can video chat with -
LInkedIN listed me as a colleague at my own damn job.
Do the morons that make the apps ever install them and use them?
Is anyone else having this same issue?
I ran into this crap today! Its listing my twitter name in the people app...extra annoying.
So I uninstalled everything that is "LinkedIn", Qik etc. Rebooted.
Reinstalled LinkedIn. rebooted. Myself wasn't listed. Hooray!
I then installed QIK. and BAM there I am listed as just a phone number at the top. So tacky and weak.
No way to delete it. It be ok if I could video chat with myself but it won't even let me do that.
I went into people then view then checked "only with phone number" and what do you know it got rid of my twitter name...hope this helps!
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

It's just poor design by Samsung.

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
Hi guys
I have a very annoying issue. I am on android 4.0.3. I set up my contacts to show only phone contacts as I always have. I had sgs2 before so this is just another unit.
So, I setup a contact picture for one special contact and I can see the small thumbnail next to the name. Ooook. Now, when I call or get a call from that person the photo doesnt show. Just the regular samsung calling screen. Never happened with another unit.
Second issue is with the ringtones. No.matter what song I setup for a contact, phone only plays the general ringtone.
I dont understand what is happening. I dont want to use a 3rd party app, for such basic function.
Any idea is welcome. Thank you!
This is driving me crazy!!! Whenever I open the text app, it defaults to the last conversation. Sometimes I send the wrong texts to the wrong people and it could get troublesome. I just want it to go to the main page with all the conversations with different people and pick and choose myself. I tried settings but couldn't find anything. anyone know? Thanks!
