[Q] video call - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, i have an international atrix using darkside v2.8 rom, in this rom i do not have the option to make a video call, is there any option or any other roms that have this option?
When i've said video call i'm refering to the old method over 3g signal.
Thanks!

Um... Its never been possible on the Atrix to call using the conventional 3G video calling? Only on Skype/Google Talk.

Tango works good for me.

so there is no other solution then a 3rd party app?

Make sure your on a 2.3.4 Rom not 2.3.3 or it wont work. Im using the Raw 2.3.4 on the development forum.
It works both outgoing and incoming...
Force Close
Force closes on me also when I switch to the back camera.
Working for me on 2.3.3 no problem. Incoming and outgoing both work fine.

Yes it does force close when you switch to the back camera so only use the front camera and use the phone sideways
works on Leaked Mytouch 2.3.3 rom...only problem i have is that my video comes out sideways no matter how i rotate my phone...
Installed, not tried
So I installed the new gapps, but all my friends are offline right now. Stupid day dwellers. How do you initiate a video chat with it now though?

exactly my question. how in the world do i start video or voice calls? i do not see an option for video calls anywhere. i do see an option for voice calls but its not highlighted so i cant select it.
i know i have the video chat talk apk because i have the camcorder icon besides my name. also when i tap on my name i see the enable voice and video checked. i just cant seem to figure out how to initiate the calls.
U will see a video camera next to your contacts name when they r online and have a web cam...if they done have a camera but do have a mic you'll see a speaker...add me to test rjmata011...

2.3.4 was on the 5/03/11 nightly, and video chat works. Crashes when switching cameras, fyi. Not a big deal.
I have one contact with a video icon next to it. I read in the CM forums that people are testing this with their computers as well.
What else is new with the 2.3.4 GAPPS?

Mine and my girls mt4g are running nb61 with the new gapps. We both have the same settings on talk. But when I see her contact name on my list there's no mic nor camera besides her name, just a dot. Same thing on her side. There's no other icon besides my name on her list than just a dot.

Wipe?
So I installed the latest version of gapps and i seem to get force closes with google talk. Do I need to do a wipe when I install these? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but it hasn't been asked yet.
EDIT: So apparently I was just getting some force closes. Obviously this is still experimental, I was able to do some chats on it now both outgoing and incoming.

Yes, I tapped my name to check it. It was already checked. Also on my girls device.
Now we both can initiate video calls but we can't receive then. If I video call her, on her device it automatically just gives her a message saying that she missed my video call because she wasn't on wifi. Same thing on my side when she calls me. Even though we both have the modified talk apk that allows it to work ove cellular data it still giving us that message.
So far I've tried all methods and modified talk apks and none have worked.

Make and Receive phone calls on your WiFi Flyer.

I found an app that lets you easily make and receive phone calls thru your Google Voice Number. (assuming you have data connection)
GrooVe IP
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gvoip&feature=search_result
I tried it and it works great... even works with the Flyer in speakerphone mode.
Its $3.99 in the Market... and may be worth it for some. Especially if you want to multitask on your Flyer or are oversears.
If you dont have a Google Voice Number, they are free.
Thanks for the tip.
And how does the mic on the flyer works for calls? Do you have speak close to the device?
Do people say they hear echo if you speak with them without a headset?
Thanks. I am using this app for my Galaxy Tab

How so I could use some help setting everything up
Edit Never mind I got it set up but to help out others
1)set up Google voice
2 install app
3 On Gmail you have to install the video chat plugin for your browser. Once you do this go to google voice
4 on GV go to voice settings under the gear icon
5 set up to forward to GTalk
6 Sign on on the phone
7 THERE YOU GO.
I tested on 3g/4g and on Wifi and it works great when you have a strong internet

you have to install the browser plugin first then once its installed hit the call button in GMail and make a test call. Once this is done go to google voice and hit the gear icon and hit the calls tab, then the option for Gtalk should show up
Other SIP CLIENTS :
The only one who have :
Dialpad included + Contacts(of your Flyer) + Video
Its:"Voip By Antisip"
URL: (Search in the Market, I CanĀ“t put Links here)
I think so, Because:
Sip droid: dont have key pad in Flyer
3CX : dont interact with the contacts
LingoPHONE: Its hung-ups ..
Sorry For my English.
Hey guys need some help. I got it installed and setup and can make calls!! THAT'S GREAT! However I'm unable to receive them. They come through on my EVO 3D just fine but nuthin on the tablet?!?! Any suggestions or ideas? I followed the the posted instructions but no luck. Thanks for any help.
Edit: Nevermind...Didn't realize there were 2 places for GTalk. One on the left and one in the middle. I hadn't changed the one in the middle to forward. Thanks for this it's working like a charm. Just wish the incoming call ringer was a little louder!
But its only in US.....not available to other country

I had to go to the Google voice website, login, click the settings icon next to your Google email address, go to the phones tab, and click the box that says forward calls to Google chat. I believe that's wat I did to get it to work. Hope it helps u.

did you get it to work? with the view im trying the flyer method with the view but i dunno...
edit... this actually works just had to fiddle a bit in google voice and afterwards was not getting incoming calls to work figured maybe i should log out of gv on my computer and bammm evo view started getting the calls so make sure to log out of google voice otherwise thats where the calls will go first before actually going to the tab.......great job guys made my evo tab just friggin more awesome....
now if they would find a way to root flyer,view would be bonus....
I don't know if anyone will use this method but I use QIK to video chat on WiFi and also while tethered to my tmobile cliq2. But it could be because I have tmobile and I remember typeing in my phone number. Just a suggestion.

[Q] SIP app that works with atrix?

Anyone got a SIP app that works on atrix?
tried acrobits (voice is speakerphone only), csipsimple (crashes, distortion), sipdroid (no sound), sipagent (no sound). All these apps with exact same settings, exact same codecs etc. run fine on nexus one, and from reading forums it seems that the atrix doesn't play nice with VOIP apps.
running stock AT&T latest version.
Yes will eventually root/rom but waiting for gingerbread OTA as baseline.
Nobody else using voip?
Heck even skype seems buggy
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I'm using CSipSimple on 4.5.91 ATT and it works great.
Even Fring works okay.
i tried a bunch of different ones. they were all buggy. i couldnt make anything work even though they all work fine on all my other devices....
Did you try Clearsea ?It's pretty good.
sorry I don't want any of these kitchen sink video / social / login type things like fring or clearsea. I just want a SIP client like SIPdroid, CSIPsimple, Acrobits (which I have paid for and used to use on Nexus One fine).
I guess I"ll just have to wait till 2.3 drops to see if that fixes issues and / or native SIP feature (which used to work fine on Nexus One).

What is your setup for CSipSimple?
I am trying to set it up with pbxes.org and am having a ton of trouble.
GrooVe IP is the easiest one I've ever used. Just enter your google voice credentials and it's ready to go. Worth the $4.

[Q] Call with GSM

there is a way to make GSM calls from this tablet?? Some changes or to download a dialer? You can send and receive calls?

Negative, you would have to have a GSM modem, and the wifi version doesn't have that. You could use Skype or something like that
Can you Post Questions in the New Galaxy Q&A Forum Thanks

I have the 3g version..but I can't do a call..any idea?
Honeycomb doesn't have a dialer apk, so the only way to accomplish this is by using a VoIP, like Google Voice or Skype
Understood.. But I want to use my sim.. Exists an apk that can I install?!

Google Talk Video Chat

Is anybody on here able to initiate a video call via Google Talk from their g2 to a desktop Talk client? Every time I try it connects for 2 seconds and terminates the connection.
What'd driving me crazy is I can accept incoming video requests and it works perfectly.
I'm on a stock rooted device, pretty sure I had this problem before root.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
At&t has a Wi-Fi only restriction. There's a guide on the forums to enable video chat over 3G. Are you on Wi-Fi? That could be the issue but I'm not to sure, when I get home I'll test.

Sorry i should have mentioned that. I've only tried this over wireless. I've also tried with 2 different desktop clients. Same thing with both can't make call but can receive call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
The one time I tried it did the same thing. I figure it is a Google Talk issue. I never used it much so I didn't worry too much but yes, I am experiencing the same issue.

Tried to another Galaxy SII Specifically on Sprint. Also tried with the web based client. If you see a video talk option, then you know it works. I've tried with Desktop (web based or iChat based) and Phone based, to no avail.

Perfect. Much thanks!
My parents have Androids, but on Verizon (Droid Bionic's). I thought it was weird, but this is the same thing I was seeing as well. Connects for a second or two, then disocnnects and says there's a problem with the network. If they contact me, it works perfectly fine.
