Hello everyone,
I just picked up an Archos 80 G9 for a Christmas present and I can't seem to get video call to work.
I'm asking here because there is no General section for the G9.
So I've tried Skype and Gtalk video with no go. On Skype it just freezes and on Gtalk it just crashes.
I have the latest update to Honeycomb and stock out the box.
Anyone else having problems with it? Any alternitives besides these two?
I would like to figure this out before I wrapped.
Thanks.

Actually now that you mention it, no its not working.
So I guess its a problem with the camera software and not the apps?
This is so frustrating.

Reboot it because mine doing the same thing. After opening in skype and talk (which both video not showing up) I have to reboot the tablet before the camera can connect to it.
But if you open both application again the video / camera will stop working till you reboot.

What an irony skype advertising the archos 80
http://shop.skype.com/phones/mobiles/archos-g9-80/
However we cant even get skype video chat to work (I installed the latest firmware 3.2.79 and still NADA)
And if you would post in the Gen9 part of this Forum you might have a better chance of an answer.
This is the Gen8 part.
Can a mod move this to the Gen9 section please. Thanks.

Well the problem is that we only have a Gen9 Dev section. There is no other dedicated G9 sections, so general discussion doesn't really belong there.
I think we either need some new sub-forum sections for G9 devices, or people need to ensure that all new threads for G9 devices are clearly labeled as [Gen9], which this thread has in the title.

Has anyone got a pair of these for the Xperia X10?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericss...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1284836976&sr=1-4
Headphone wire is starting to drive me mad especially when I am on my 125.
Any reviews? other than Amazons
Thanks in advance

I have them, in fact I imagine there are several people who do. For me they came free as a promotional offer on Rogers here in Canada, and I read that some people got them bundled along with the phone.
They work pretty well, although I've never seen the song-ticker ever working on any device I've connected to it (although I don't even think it's actually a feature), I always have gotten good quality audio from my x10, my windows 7 pc at home, and my iMac at work. It lasts a long time and it's easy to switch between the devices. The only issue I have with it, and it can be pretty annoying, is that it will sometimes lose connection with my x10 and I will have to unpair it and repair it or otherwise restart bluetooth on the phone. It could be an issue with interfering wifi signals or something else on the phone.
I take it you missed THIS thread on the same page.

It's full of peoples experience with them, which is what you've also asked.
i used the site which let me see my contacts so i could text people from the touch pad browser using my android phone. it was quick worked quick. i could even respond with out issues. now if someone could turn this into an standalone app that would be amazing, that way we could incorporate a pop up feature. should not be hard if there is already a system in place.

Tablet Talk is for tablets, browsertexting for pc. There's a difference.

You are half correct. Tablet Talk is for tablets. Browsertexting is for internet browsers which both PC's and Tablets are capable of.
Seeing as this is under the HP Touchpad forum and the HP Touchpad is, in fact, a tablet I think my previous comment holds some merit.

Right, I think I didn't hesitate to see your mistake My bad
I was wondering if anyone had this issue. I recently tried to download Dead Space from the market, but it wont let me download it due to device compatibility issues. Now, i already edited my build.prop file (i used GT-i9100....) and i know it worked because i was able to download Lets Golf 3 (even though i later read a thread saying it still wont play right).
I'm wondering if anyone was able to download Dead Space, and if so, what did you edit the build.prop to say so that it would let you download the game?
Thanks to any answers!
Afaik build.prop just tells the app which device it is running on.. so no change for market?
if you changed your build.prop to lets say 10 different devices, market would believe you had an equal amount of devices linked to your account.. and as I have changed my TPs prop to Nexus S and there's still no Nexus S option available for download.. I'm pretty sure that build.prop just exists to tell the software which device you're running on.
Dunno how market determines what hardware you're running android on?
Seems market reads me as having HP GT-i9100. I know that's due to 2.8xron build.prop already edited. I went and changed the HP to read Samsung, but no dice.
FYI I just sideloaded Dead Space per suggestion in another forum to see if that would work. Lets me install the apk, but when it goes to download the game, I just get a random box with an exit button. Lol. I guess its telling me something.
Any help appreciated. If not, then leo's last post on the dev forum said his next build will be compatible with all gameloft games.
.... Feels good to be a touchpad owner!

I'm having the same issues, edited everything that said HP to htc (to match my evo 3d) but still shows up on android market.com as "HP HTC shooteru" lol where is market getting the HP part from??
A question that goes beyond me. Think you could post the question in the main dev forum? I haven't reached the requirements to post there yet, and it seems Leo mostly responds to questions there.

I've asked him kinda, he seems to think using GT-I9100 and Samsung works but it hasn't for me....
Someone did a great job on the dev thread just a while ago. Asked same question plus threw in a screenshot of his build.prop. Me thinks we'll get a better answer and possibly a solution soon.
Following closely.....

Try deleting/format/cache/dalvik cache 3 times and then re-flash the rom. This solved the problem for me.
Good luck.
Wow. Seriously? That just seems redundant, but I know how fickle the cache can be. Fwiw I have been tinkering around for several days, wiping and flashing numerous times (over 3), but still no dice. Im not that desparate though. I can wait for an update from Leo if a simpler fix doesn't come along.
Seems leo is gonna do magic soon anyway. Its been more of a pain re-applying all my homescreen settings than being able to get a game to work.
Appreciate the advice all the same!

Btw, did you also change build.prop? Or did Leo's build.prop work all by itself for these games... after the wipes, of course.

I changed build.prop to GT-I9000, Gameloft games play fine with that build.prop for me.
Update: So apparently this has been cracked by HBOTroll1, all thanks to him. You can find his thread here. Unfortunately I have dumped my photon because of Motorola's failed promises. It was a great phone but I will never again by from this company. I also do not have HBO GO anymore because of this issue but I might get it again to try this apk. I am reposting a direct link to the apk here.
This has been confirmed to work on the Photon by others. Also if you have an MHL device to try this on that would be appreciated. I am not sure if MHL is a problem to begin with though...
Disclaimer: To my extremely limited knowledge reposting this does not violate any copyright laws, which is not my intention. My belief is that this is a lack of functionality in the program which has been fixed in this apk. If such is not the case, HBO please contact me so we can discuss this error in your program.
MinceMan said:
I just got HBO GO, I know Game of Thrones is f*****g awesome as **** *** *****!!!!
Anywhoo... I tried plugging the photon into my tv as the PS3 does not yet have an app and HBO GO refuses to play video with the HDMI plugged into it. Does anyone know any way to stop the app or the system of realizing that the signal is being sent out?
I would be willing to put in a lot of effort into getting this hack to work but I don't even know where to start. So any advice would rock!
RANT: I know they have a reason for disabling this but for realz I can just torrent their shows so when I'm paying I'm not going to try and rip off their stuff. I mean there's a reason that I'm paying!
RANT EXTENDED: I hate all of this DRM like bullsh!t that makes it more difficult to be a paying customer then a priate. I mean you can just go to isohunt or thepiratebay and search for game of thrones 720p. Then download the playstation media server and install the extra codecs and whatnot they recomend. This will let your computer transcode the video files so that the ps3 can output the video over your network. Wifi N can handle the video great and plug in a hundred foot Ethernet cable for $13 and get beautiful streaming with 5.1 surround sound.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any kind of workaround for this. I remember having the same issue. Think I tried running HBO from browser in Webtop mode but can't remember if it just didn't work or if it worked and the video was bad quality.
Probably better off downloading vid from the net and installing to view locally.
what we need is to get our hands on the earlier version of the app
I've heard people report it USED to work using a combination of the first release of the app and something called Xternal Display (which just mirrors the image on the screen.)
I know sprint t.v doesn't work either on HDMI out using stock mopho .

I can't believe you're brave enough to use isohunt and piratebay. Those are the two most well known trackers that get people busted.
Game of thrones is full of win, though! Can't wait till finale gets upped. I'm dying to watch it.

I'm guessing that it check the version number and would want you to update. Though if anyone has an older apk I would love to try this out!
I have version 1.3.1, I just installed version 1.7.1 and installed this version and it still plays fine, haven't tried hdmi out using version 1.3.1 yet. But I'll upload it tomorrow, I'm away from my computer right now
I got it working perfectly
I used splashtop on my Macbook which also works on PC to get it working everytime without fail. I have a video on youtube that shows me doing it but I am a newb so I can't post link. lol
sorry everybody, i thought the thread was dead but here is the hbogo 1.3.1 apk, just fyi it gives out the original error message saying that there is something wrong, not the new one stating the program doesn't allow hdmi out.

Confirmed - audio chat works fine on Venue 7 v1.16.131221-no modem. I must already check video.
I know that Skype is good, but maybe you should check out Google Hangouts app. I don't have any problems or issues with it. Audio is working, video too. For me it's worth of trying alternative.
