What do you mean? I have the same model of phone as you and Google talk works fine over 3G/4G/LTE no problem..
Could this be something that AT&T is doing? I am on Rogers in Canada...
He means video chat over WiFi requirement. If you're rooted you just need to edit a file with sqeditor.

Doh, My bad.
I will look around for sqeditor too.. video chat would be something I would also likely want to enable..
thanks for the info!
edit: instead of the Gui SQLite Editor, I chose to isntall sqlite3 since it was missing for some reason.. (guessing that not all builds get it).. anyhow there is an app in the ap store called 'sqlite isntaller for root'.. once installed I just did the following through terminal emulator.. I guess I could have done it through adb as well...
Code:
$ su
# sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.*gsf/databases/gservices.db "insert into overrides (name, value) values ('gtalk_vc_wifi_only', 'false')";
# reboot
Great info here.. very glad I remembered about this site and came back now that I have an Android device I actually use..

Has anyone found a way make video chat on sgs2? Have anyone tried yahoo messenger? Let us know what tweaks and tricks you have done, if any, to make it work. Thanks
try Google talk
hope this help
google talk or use google+ hangout. they all should work
Google Video Chat only seems to work over Wi-Fi. Does anything work over 3g/4g?
i have not tried 'hangout' except over the computer. not sure if that works over 3g (although i can't see why it shouldn't)
whats the best to use to video chat with somebody who has the iphone 4? was using facetime with my wife which was great and now we use skype which is not as clear... any of these google apps work on iphone?
thanks for all of the above suggestions. i had google+ for a while now hardly used it. will try google talk.
Use skype---when you open the skype app after loggin into click menu (settings) and enable video calling option. Video calls on 3g/4g and wifi.

If you have the phone rooted you can change a Database file from Google Talk that prevents the video Chat over 3g/4g
- To do that, have a SQL Lite Editor and edit the file:
/data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
- Go to the main database
- Change the line gtalk_vc_wifi_only from "true" to "false"
i personally like oovoo better than skype.
Qik works just fine, used it to talk to my wife on her iphone. The full version will work on 3g or wifi, the phone comes with the crappy lite wifi only version.

So there is this awesome chatting application that will be / already is cross-platform. But it isn't compatible with our Atrix's.
Any one know why? Just the screen res? Any chance of hacking an APK file to make it work?
I downloaded an apk because it said it wasn't available in my country and it works perfectly fine. kinda confused as to why it would say incompatible in the first place.
I'm running it on my atrix and it works really well.
How is this different/better than something like Kik that is also cross platform?

Make sure the download size of the vvm zip is correct (it should be 1mb), try downloading it from your PC because people have been having problems with it only partially downloading to 500kb.
Flash this in CWM to get root:

I had similar problem recently and the ONLY thing that fixed it was to disable Wifi and then start VM.
After that it worked fine and I could use it normally.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
i had the same issue, couldnt get VVM to work.
I just use google voice, it's better anyway, IMHO
It's really not that hard guys. Just follow the simple instructions.
1. Download the vvm zip I posted.
2. Make sure it is the full file and not an incomplete zip! IT MUST BE 1MB.
3. Remove the current visual voicemail you have installed.
4. Flash the vvm zip in CWM.
5. Turn off wifi and make sure cellular data is on and launch the visual voicemail app and complete the setup.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I tried this, and it doesn't work. Even after removing the old VM and flashing the new one, when I use the VVM app and get into my voicemail, it tells me that "an activation message still hasn't been received" and asks me to call VM again.
Could this be a problem with my plan? Do I have to have VVM activated?

Yes you need the visual voice mail feature.
If you have AT & T messaging then you need to get that feature removed as it overrides visual voice mail.
Well everytime i download it, the file size is 554kb, any thoughts anyone?
I uninstalled the vvm that came installed with the rom, flashed the 1meg version posted in the forums, on 4g mobile network still wont activate for some reason.

*Remove the TXT extension from the XML file attached first
Put VVM_release_aligned.apk in /system/app
Put com.att.vvm.sharedlib.xml in /system/etc/permissions
Put com.att.vvm.sharedlib.jar in /system/framework
Set permissions to each of these rw-r--r-- (that is read write for owner, read for group, read for other)
Reboot, turn off Wifi, and launch it from the app drawer to setup.

Try renaming the su binary

Simple, my 17 year old figured it out. Rename super user.apk, to anything else. Reboot. Wipe data in the twc app. Worked for me. All other root apps still work fine too.
Now, how does app know if I'm on my home network? Why not at my office on office wifi network? Yes,I have time warner internet, but what if I was on another provider, would the app still detect my TV cable box and how?

That's essentially what the application above does. I think the recommendation to wipe the app's data is what helped too.

Found this thread on xda's "Droid RAZR General" forum that mentions conflicting results with a workaround for the TWC app preventing the livetv feature if you have root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604411
Just want to point out that on my AT&T NOTE (Seraphim First Flight ROM) renaming the /system/app/Superuser.apk then clearing the TWC app from memory was successful. Was then able to use the TWC Live TV feature.
A script to do this automatically is probably warranted but I'm sure some of the great minds here on xda will beat me to it !
Worked fine for me on DAGr8 alpha II, no moding needed
Just wonder if any way to get live TV working when off my home wifi network.

Anyone tried "hide my root" for this? I can't test it since I don't live in a TWC services area.
