hello
I have a question.
I use gtalk with video and voice on my galaxy s2 and all work great
On my galaxy s only voice is supported but with another gtalk apk and a custom rom i can have gtalk with voice and video
Is it possible to do the same thing on the galaxy wifi 5.0
This will be fantastic.
Anyone have an idea ?
Thanks for help

Yes, I have done it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117883
Both video and sound work great, other than your own image of yourself appears flipped when in portrait. The receiver says I'm upside-up, so no biggie!

i have now the voice and video option in my gtalk
but all my friends see my offline
sp i can't receive or send message ;-(
any ideas ?
Okay, sorry for not responding sooner, this might be a very stupid question, but you aren't "invisible", are you? Also, make sure you aren't signed in on any other computers/devices. You copied all the files over into correct directories and changed the permissions to match, correct? I just used root explorer and it was a cinch. Try checking the automatic away when screen off option in the settings.

Hi, I have a Galaxy Player 5, reference YP-G70 CWY/XAA US Version, Gingerbread 2.3.5. I'm looking for the google talk with audio and video, got one version installed from cwm recovery, with video but no audio. I also tried the version posted here installed via root explorer and the results is the same, video works fine but no audio. I forgot to explain, in both installations I can hear but the person can not hear me. The video calls with Skype or oovoo works fine 100%, but I miss the google talk, I think is a lot better. Any suggestion for me? Any fix? Thank you in advance.

hey all,
anyone have a working talk.apk lying around that they can share?
I downgraded/restored with CWM to Chips ROM and the talk.apk that was saved fc's. I've also tried the gtalk.apk from Chip's addon pack (or whatever) and the talk.apk above, as well as a talk.apk from and older cwm I've saved (presumably from eryigits).
[the method was to open the zip, cut the .talk apk, paste it into my device, then /system/app and change permission to the rw-r--r--]

Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!
Latest Version
Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.
Also, GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon. $1.99 vs. the regular $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/snrb-Labs-GrooVe-IP/dp/B004Z1P53W/ref=zg_bs_mobile-apps_1

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

I am a big Google Voice user and noticed that the Market wouldn't let me download it for the 10.1.
I snagged this from over at AndroidCentral so I can't take any credit but I figured I would toss it here for anyone who wanted GV on their tab.
Its taken from the Xoom but I am running it on my rooted 10.1 without issue. Enjoy.

you can use something like androzip or basically anything that lets you look into the sd card (or the fake one the tab tells you it has) so you can locate the apk file you downloaded
Works here.
I had previously tried another Voice version (forget from where) without sucess.
FWIW, I emailed the apk - from the first post here - to my gmail account (as an attachment of course.)
When I openen the email on my Retail:Rooted device, "Install" (not "Download") was the option for the attachment.
Agreed to access...and it installed over whatever was there.
Looks the just the same as on my Galaxy GT-I9000 phone. (But 10.1 size )

Download astro or any other filemanager, and then just find where the apk was downloaded. If you try and open it through astro, it will ask to take you to the app manager, where you can install it.
I have installed plenty of apps straight from the browser.
Just make sure you have the option to allow unknown sources to be installed selected, under settings, applications.

How does it differ from the one OP posted, as that one was taken from the Xoom which is also a tablet. Yours is from the Infuse, which is a phone. Any issues??

My guess is that the one labeled Xoom actually came from a phone as well. It may have been modified to work on Honeycomb but that is only a guess. I do know that there isn't a downloadable version of Google Voice for any Honeycomb tablet. The version I posted is a later release (bug fixes and better battery usage) and required no modification to work.
I've had no issues with the one I posted and it is easy on the battery. Add GrooVe IP and you can do voice calls as well.
Hope that helps,
Andy
Thank you, I now have a giant slab of a phone. Awesome!
I'm pretty disappointed with the iphone 4s announcement, because that's what I was going to get my wife. Its very important for her to video chat with her sister and family who lives 10 hours away. I currently have the atrix which never plays nice when it comes to video chat with iphone users, so I want to know if anyone has had success with video chat particularly with iphone users or even Skype?
Thanks.
May not be the same, but I've been able to video chat using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with an iPad 2 using Google Talk.
Im pretty sure skype should work, as well as tango, and apparently google talk, I really doubt video chatting should be an issue at all

I can confirm all work. You have to make sure you have the newest Skype and enable it
Tango should work too
Skype, Qik, and Tango, tested them all with my wife's iPhone 4.

Fring also works well.
I tested Skype on S2 with iphone 4 and an HP Touchpad, they all work together well.
Better than it did with my Atrix although it did still work with the latest version of skype on the Atrix.
I use skype daily to video chat with my daughter while on the road.
For Skype video calls to work, do the following:
1- Download the latest version.
2- Sign in.
3- Settings
4- Scroll all the way down and you'll see various options... most importantly the option to "Enable video calling"
5- The Skype app might need a restart... so sign off, and sign back in.
Speaking of Skype, I have the latest version but noticed that it drains the battery noticeably (even when not using it). Anyone else is having the same issue?

Skype is best. Gtalk is good too. For Gtalk video, there's an optional flashable zip file of it that has the video-calling enabled version. Works like a charm.

Its usually an optional add-on in the Rom Manager app (like the Gapps zip) that you check off, and it'll flash itself with the rom... but I looked around and found you the .zip file that you can successfully flash yourself. Hopefully it works.

Yeah, Red5, only flash if you have a custom rom that doesn't have the video-calling compatible Google Talk app. Sorry, I assumed you would be on CM7, not stock and what not :s

Oh, I thought that was the CWM fix to enable Gtalk over 3G instead of being locked to wifi only. Id like to be able to use Gtalk over 3G too.
I have some of this posted in the Q&A but thought it deserved a thread here as I now have it working with Google Play Music on ICS. I have not been able to get the new YouTube application ported over to ICS yes but I'm still working on it.I could probably get this working on Gingerbread by changing the manifest again but I no longer have a GB device so if someone really wants it let me know.
What you need:
The modified NexusQ.apk file from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28636772&postcount=23
The new 4.3.605 Google Play Music apk which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19423409&postcount=1
A Nexus Q and WiFi network.
A device running ICS. I used my Bionic running leaked ICS but I did have to root in order to install the new 605 Play Music application.
Instructions:
Install the new (4.3.605) Google Play Music application from Steve0007's posted linked above. If you get an "Existing package with same signature.." error you will need to do the following (this is what worked on my Bionic):
WARNING: ROOTING YOUR DEVICE AND CHANGING THE SYSTEM FILES CAN CAUSE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN, PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Root your device (I used this method on my Bionic: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...gh-releases-ics-leak-root-exploit-bionic.html.) Install Root Explorer from the market and delete the existing com.google.android.play.music.xxx.xx.xxx apk from /system/app. Reboot device. Copy 605 apk to device and install.
END SCARY ROOT WARNING
Install the modified NexusQ.apk, plug in the Q, turn on Bluetooth on your device (it will prompt you to if you don't) and get connected! I had to go through the process several times before it successfully paired up but from what I've read the same is true on JB devices as well. If you need to wipe out the Q you do so by unplugging it, plugging it back in and as soon as the blue ring starts place your palm over the single LED on the top until the ring goes from flashing red to swirling purple. This will factory reset the device. Since getting both my Bionic and Xoom paired it's worked well.
Enjoy until the official ICS and below apps drop from Google.
If anyone is successful at getting the JB YouTube application working on ICS please let me know.
Thanks to everyone that helped me get this working!
Thanks a ton!!! I've added a link to this in my roll-up (here) in the general thread so others will find it. I'm now able to use my Nexus Q, thanks again!
Eventually I'll start learning to do some dev work :/
I followed your directions but I still cannot stream anything, I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to get the Nexus Q 8 Ball easter Egg to work.
What is your current status? Do you have the 4.3.605 music player installed? If so you should have the little "beam" icon on the top right when playing music and tapping that should make the Q almost instantly start streaming that song.

Did you read the part about needing to manually remove the old play music application via root explorer (or a simple uninstall if allowed)? Have you tried either?

Yes I read that but the old play music was not in the system\apps directory but it was still installed so not sure. I force stopped it and uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still would not let me install the one listed.
Hmmm, I think that's two of you with problems installing on CM9. I don't have anything running that ROM (and you can probably tell I'm already pretty much at the limits of my skills) but perhaps it is installed differently in that ROM. Unfortunately I don't think I can help you with this one.

Just though I should specify what rom I had success with. I copied the app to /system/app folder and changed the permissions. I did NOT have google music previously installed. When I ran the app to install it said install failed. I then installed the NexusQ app directly from my SD card, which installed no problems. I did not try to run the NexusQ app and rebooted the phone. Once rebooted i turned on my WIFI and bluetooth and launched the NexusQ app and rebooted the Nexus Q. The app paired up with the Q no problem. I was then able to run Google Music app and play to the Q with no issues. *NOTE* When i walked out of the house (i did not manually disconnect the wifi or bluetooth, just hit the stop play music button and turned off the TV and receiver) and came back later, turned the TV and receiver back on, the visualizations or music track would not show at all. Just the NexusQ home screen. I rebooted the Q and everything is working fine again.
No, youtube does not work (which I think is posted an original post somewheres). It seems that a ported app will be needed to push youtube videos to the Q. I cannot test Google movies/TV as I dont own any.
I've tried exactly this on my HTC One S running ICS (albeit with HTC Sense) and can't get it to stream to the Q.
Everything installs fine (if I move it to /system/apps and change the permissions as mentioned) but I see no option in the Play Music app to stream to the Q.
Additionally, the new Play Music app looks it has lost quite a bit of functionality to the previous version - perhaps indicating that the installation went badly? For instance, there are much fewer options on the settings page and there's no option to choose or configure my Google account anywhere.
bobukcat - is this the case for you?

Yes that worked for me!
It still took a bunch of tries to get it to do anything though.
For a long time, and several reboots, the Q didn't show up in the list of devices in Play Music...
No idea what I did, but all of a sudden it showed up.
Volume control from the phone still doesn't work, and YouTube/Videos don't work either.
At least now I can enjoy it a bit until they release the real apps.
Thanks a ton for all the pointers and packages!
What order did you install the packages? Play Music first and then the Q app? Or the other way around?

The Q app first.
When the Q finally showed up in the new Play Music app, it was after turning wifi off/on a few times ... don't know if that's what finally did it though.

No, my play music application has all the previous functionality and even more options in Settings, including Nexus Q settings. Did you install the Q application first? I don't know why this would matter but that is what I did.
Did you just move the new play music apk to the /system/app location or did you actually install it from application manager in Astro or other file manager? I don't know that just moving the apk to that folder will work (I don't think I even tried that) so you may have to delete the old one, reboot and then install the new one from the apk. Please try that and let us know if it works.

No, youtube does not work (which I think is posted an original post somewheres). It seems that a ported app will be needed to push youtube videos to the Q. I cannot test Google movies/TV as I dont own any.

Yes that worked for me!
It still took a bunch of tries to get it to do anything though.
For a long time, and several reboots, the Q didn't show up in the list of devices in Play Music...
No idea what I did, but all of a sudden it showed up.
Volume control from the phone still doesn't work, and YouTube/Videos don't work either.
At least now I can enjoy it a bit until they release the real apps.
Thanks a ton for all the pointers and packages!

Yeah, I've tried to rebuild the YouTube application from JB with a new manifest multiple times but I still can't get it to work right, I did finally get it to install but it just constantly FCs and never really runs. Clearly someone much more skilled than I (which wouldn't take much) at modifying apks would need to look into this or we just wait for the official app from Google to drop.
Strange that the volume control from your phone doesn't work, as long as I'm in the Play Music application it works fine on both my Bionic and Xoom.
As reported in the OP I too had lots of errors and force closes, etc. when trying to get this to run the first time but from what I've read that happens on JB devices too and in fact I had a few on my Xoom running TeamEOS nightlies.
I just thought I would write up a quick tutorial for anyone who ever wanted to play music through the earpiece for some reason (am I the only one who always forgets their earphones?). I had the urge to do it yesterday and this is how I did it
First download the app "earpiece" from the play store. You will notice, however, that it doesn't give you the option to play audio through the earpiece. This is because it doesn't think you have one. So, what you must do is take the attached file and stick it in the /system/etc/permissions directory (yes, you need root). Change the permissions of the file as needed and reboot. This file will make your player look like a galaxy S gsm phone (I have not encountered any negative results of doing this yet). You should now be able to use earpiece app for listening to audio through the earpiece!

UPDATE: I think this mod also makes more apps compatible in the market! Go locker, go search, and go notification are just a few that I have noticed! Could someone please confirm this?

You haven't discovered nothing new. I guess it changes device info in build.prop so your phone is detected as sgs. Makes more apps compatible.

Uh yeah, I know about that hack, in fact, I was one of the first to implement it, lol! What I am saying is this makes some apps that were still "incompatible" after that mod compatible (maybe, still waiting confirmation).
