[Q] Gtalk versions and features on Galaxy S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I don't own the Samsung Galaxy phone yet, but I'm planning to.
I noticed that the Galk app ("TALK") version provided on ALL Samsung Galaxy phones (S3 as well) is different with the Gtalk app version provided on Nexus devices or HTC devices.
The Gtalk nexus version is the V1.3, which is nicer in design and even allows Video/Voice calling.
Where the Samsung Gtalk app is Vx.x, which is ugly and doesn't even provide video calling !
Gtalk V1.3 :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why is that ???
And how can we uninstall the version provided by Samsung and install the 1.3 version ?
Thanks in advance,
Frem

Talk and GTalk are not the same thing.
This talk app you're talking about must be something specific to your operator, because I don't have it on my phone.
Anyhow, if you install any stock unbranded ROM, you'll get Google's original GTalk app, which is exactly the same one found on Nexus devices.

Nono forget the "gtalk" i mentioned the application is "TALK" (which allows to chat with google users).
The version of Talk provided on the samsungs devices is different.
Can you check the exact version number you have on your phone of the "talk" app ?

Mine is version:
4.1.1-438695 (330)

So if you check the application design it's different and does not have access to video chat.
The app icone is more like a Square it's i believe the old version .
I can't figure out what's up with Samsung which is the main purpose of my post to have an explanation.

Can anyone help me on this subject ?
What is the deal with Samsung and this buggy version of "Talk" 4.x ?
Why don't they integrate the talk app 1.3 which is out since Gingerbread ?
This doesn't make any sense.

Awesome Keyboard FlexT9IME_TMO

Here is a keyboard I posted in the EVO 4G forums awhile back. Similar to swype but tons better IMO. I just added the theme to it. The theme came from "Awesome Keyboard" theme from "Dansta34"
Been using it on my Rezound since day one.
Just transfer to your sd card and install like any other apk.

Screenshot is tiny.
This looks to be a themed version of Nuance's Flext9:
https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5udWFuY2UuZmxleHQ5LmlucHV0Il0.
While I agree that it's a great keyboard (It's my daily driver), this is a paid app and probably shouldn't be distributed here. I see a reference to tmo in the file name, maybe this was included on some t-mobile phones?
This also happened to be the Amazon Free app of the day some time ago, so if you keep up with that, you may already have it (that's how I got it).
I tried to theme this keyboard about 3 versions ago but it would lose some of the functionality, the voice and swipe would not work. It just updated yesterday also.

Is speech to text working on the Rezound? Reading the reviews for this on the market and a lot of people said the flex update broke speech to text.

No the speech is not working, sorry I should have put that in the original post
Speech to Text works fine on my UnMod'd Flext9.

ok
I installed Gmail app because of you, it seems it's part of Gmail limitation.
You can try another app.
For me Gmail app by Google is simply a junkware
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII

Francis Chong ( split cam developer....i think) stated there would be no split cam for android
https://getsatisfaction.com/ignition/topics/can_develop_splitcam_for_android_cause_its_awesome
i havn't tried it out, but based on the feature your looking for, Funny Split Camera might be an alternative
(its not free though )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ndroid.funnysplitcamera&feature=search_result
also ( not android related ) if your looking for a photography program that would let you clone yourself, try adobe photoshop ( but thats for computers )
There is an android app just for that, called Clone Yourself
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lyrebirdstudio.clone
I will have to try this out now

the best camera clone is Clone Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petavision.clonecameraandroid&hl=en. it can do up to three clones at the same time

I have bought both and i can say that Clone Yourself is way better. It takes full resolution images(13mp) against 1mp, much better paint option with resizable brush tools.

Instagram 4.0.2 HELP

I'm trying to use the new video feature on instagram. I'm able to view others videos but when I try to record a video it doesn't save my progress. It starts over and shows this message.

To verify that its not a rom issue I wiped and reflashed Black Jelly Beta...I also wiped and flashed Alpha and Padawan JB 2. I get the same results with all three.
I'm not sure if its a app issue or a problem with my phone. If anyone has any advice, I'd really apreciate it.
Thanx in advance

Someone over in the Q&A section had the same complaint. It sounds like the app isn't ready for prime time yet. Did any version of the app work for you?

No I have not been able to record video since they added the feature. I sent an email to instagram support but haven't heard anything. Surprise...surprise...

+1 to the list, getting same issue. If I run instagram on a non touchwiz rom and try to use the camera, the phone freezes. Finally able to get it up and running on a TouchWiz rom with camera working, but video issue is the same for me (won't let post, seems to record but then starts over asking to record up to a certain point)
I've had exact issue and it still hasn't been addressed almost a week later....
same here
Sucks that this issue still hasn't been fixed by instagram. Read reviews from play store and every single Note 1 user cannot use video feature. I bet if all these people would only rate only 1 star it would be addressed and fixed.

Music Player for Wear

Hi,
Just found for me the ultimate Music Player for Wear.
The only one I know to control completely the music from the watch. Music control and select Artist, Album directly from the watch.

I wouldn't really say this is the best Android Wear music app.....I'd say it's the best Android Wear app period! Most apps just open the original app on your phone or do one limited task. This one actually does what the app does...on your watch. Love it!
How do I install it onto the wear.?

Just install on phone and it install also the Wear app on Watch. All Wear app works like this
It seem it has been erased from the store, maybe too good app ?
Only those who previously bought the app can use it.
@dersie can you send me the apk ? or make it work on playstore for buy ? thanks.
Do not think just an apk for an app not bought can works on other phone
Maybe for the demo time and will be accept to update in paid app ? is to try....
Free Trial Stellio
demo version, tell me if it works

Link or app ?
On playstore I can just see the Unlocked but not anymore the original app.
Unlocker is still updated, last update from 4 days ago.
EDIT :
Just see a new link with click in developper name.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stellio.player
but if I refer in comment, it is a version without Wear compagnion : coming soon...

ES file explorer let you play mp3 directly on the watch with the built in player. It works perfectly installing the apk with ADB.
I bought stellio from the webpage and works pretty good, but it´s not working with local music, only phone songs.
