You might have gtalk disabled with data.
Do this
1. Download SQLight editor from the market
2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.
3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it
4. Now click on "main"
5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold
6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true

HI!
I tried to change that entry in Gtalk but it doesn't works.
I saw from you gauravcd that you asked Vodafone to change the APN and i have Vodafone PT with problems in my APN. If you are PT can you tell me the correct configs to send correct MMS and to make Gtalk works with Data?
Thanks

You have to have your phone rooted first of all. And then mount the card in R/W mode and then u can edit any file u want.
1.root via xrecovery
2. mount r/w in root explorer
3. long press txt file

Google Talk is Google's messaging service. It has been around for years. A few months ago it started offering video chat, and now that is available on Android. This app will remove the requirement to be on wifi to use video chat.

Yes, that works if your version of Google Talk already has video enabled...
However, the steps in the OP will enable video and enable video over 3g/4g.

Look for a "mount r/w" option near at the top. This will make the location writable; allowing you to make the desired changes. What file explorer are you using?
this is an interesting topic because I have the Samsung epic touch galaxy s ii for sprint, and I've been able to video chat thru 3g/4g/wifi the entire time, no modifications required. I wonder why at&t would block that for you guys?

Is this still a current version? I am planning to put it in to ICScrewD 2.1 and running a search this is the best option I have found. Am I right?

I have gotten auto updates from the market since this install though, so i believe you can make it current and then push the apk into the ROM

There are some lengthy conversations about this so I thought I would shorten things up a bit. This is what "I" did after reading for a an hour or so...
Doesn't work with CM and I had to have root access in order to do what I did. I'm pretty sure there's a non rooted method in the 1st link.
**** I Always do a nandroid/system backup via custom recovery before doing things like this . I'm not responsible for you jacking up your phone. I'm only relaying what I did to my phone so proceed at your own risk.
1) Do a backup in custom recovery
2) I used a file manager, Root Explorer, & confirmed hiddenmenu.apk was in /system/app
3) I used text editor in Root Explorer and navigated to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu. Changed OFF to ON
4) reboot
5) I viewed LTE band by dialing *#0011#
6) I forced band 4 by dialing *#27663368378# then followed these steps umts>debug>phonecontrol>Network control>band>LTE
7) I reverted the band 4 force by dialing *#27663368378# then followed these steps umts>debug>phonecontrol>Network control>band>automatic. I had to go to sytem settings and get back on LTE & CDMA...menu soft key>system settings>connections>tethering and networks>mobile networks>network mode>LTE/CDMA.
***Now if you don't have the Hidden menu app (.apk) then below is a zipped copy. You will also find a copy of my carrier file which is the parent folder to Hidden menu (file/folder that contains the Hidden menu) . Use the carrier file if you cant get the OFF to ON change to persist (stay ON)
1) First do a backup in your custom recovery.
2) rename your carrier file to carrier.bak
3) copy my carrier file to your efs file
4) ) reboot system
5) profit

Recent interest in the Samsung Hidden Menu is due to the new band 4 LTE that is producing the blazing fast speeds. Critical/important info can be viewed as well as other features can be changed in the Hidden Menu too. Some examples are your IMEI can be found by enabling the Sammy Hidden Menu and you can change your LTE band from 13 to band 4...
ok....i'm stuck. When I navigate to the file and change off to on, I save the file. But then when I return to view the file again, it has been switched back to off.
