Develop Bugs

Did anyone else's YouTube (website) stop playing videos?

Well, title pretty much says it all.
Up to yesterday, I could play YT videos fine from the full website [just click the video and it opens in fullscreen], now it says that I need to upgrade my version of Flash. And when I click the link to 'upgrade' it says that Flash 10.1 for Android is coming in 1st half of 2010.
I know I can use the standalone application, but still. Other flash video sites like College Humor work, no problem.
Is it just me?

Working fine for me.

I had this also. I had to go into the browser settings, turn off flash and then turn it back on again. No idea why.

I have same issue... with my desktop PC and Opera browser!

Anyone able to video chat with a pc or mac with the evo 4g?

I used to use fring with skype but now that skype banned them from using it i dont have any other method of chatting with my family when i am away. Anyone have a solution to this?

No ways as of yet, unless Fring or Qik get desktop apps or Skype gets a native Android app.

you can do this with sipdroid...much better quality than fring...although, you need a gv number or sipgate number to pair with sipdroid (PLUS -there is a small monthly fee to add videocalling to pc via a pbxes account) ...just google sipdroid for videocalling and you can watch a video of how it is done on sipdroids homepage. this can be done over 3g,4g or wifi ...seems to be much better quality than video streaming of justintv, qik or than fring was

Yes,
Imovicha (Movicha) works very well from EVO to PC or EVO to another phone. I use this to communicate with a number of our PCs.

better quality?

I just tried out imovicha for the first time...is there any way to get the quality of the video seen on the computer to be good? mine is really blocky and wont show on cpu bigger than about 3 inches by 3 inches??!!! Video skype through fring (when it was available) was much better quality.

I found a Skype beta but have not yet tried it out. I will report back.

http://www.movicha.com/android.html <<< Forget Fring-FaceTime or even Qik.. Movicha has it all, I can video call (cont) http://tl.gd/2v7kkk I just twitted it to the WORLD!.. lol..

I think there was a skype app in one of the magnus cyan upgrades in the theme section. I tried one once and it wasn't for me so I flashed over it. I thought awhile ago that someone ripped out skype and another app or two out of a verizon droid. I don't remember if it worked but I remember that you had to have the o they apps with it or it wouldn't work.

When i tried the skype beta app, it didn't have video chat...

Has anyone tried Movicha for the Evo yet? It's got pretty bad reviews so far.

I don't know. Just checked out their site. It says there is a subscription fee, but makes no mention of how much it is! Guess you have to install the pp to find out.
Also, their FAQ says it does not support video from the phone on Android - you can see somebody on their PC, but they can't see you!!
If this is true what good is it???
"I tried to place a video call to a friend who was using an Android. How come he can see me, but I cannot see him?
Right now Android supports receive only video."

I have downloaded Movicha but haven't actually tried it yet. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a version specifically for the EVO. You have to search the market for "MovichaForEVO".
EDIT: Just tried it between my PC and phone... video from phone to PC kinda sucks on 3G but otherwise it does work (will try it over 4G when I'm at work Monday to see if video quality is any better)

It seems to make calls ok, video quality on the PC from my Evo was HORRIBLE though, the GUI is kinda meh, dont have sound or cam on pc (sitting at Sprint..cant really expect too much lol) to test that. All in all, its a step in the right direction, but certainly fails as a whole package. Ugly as hell basically....just wish I had gotten my evo before Fring issues to test skype with my gf on her laptop.

So, did you have to pay? If so, how much???

no, never once asked for anything but a name and an email. I sure as hell wouldnt be paying for something like this though

[Q] Video chat options?

So what options do we have with the SGS2 for video chat/calling?
I see in the dialer/contacts there is an option to call somebody with video, how
does that work? Has anybody been able to try it?
D

I can confirm that the video calling from the dialer works great between two SGSIIs, even over a week 3G signal.
If you have root access, you can also install the new Google Talk app that has video. Works great as well between phone and PC over wifi at least.
I haven't tested other than this, but it gets me in touch with my fiancee on the phone and family/friends on Google Talk. I have a feeling we'll be waiting a while for Skype video support now that they've been bought by Microsoft.
edit: There are of course other third party options but I want to use the ones with the greatest adoption and compatibility between devices, which is Skype and Google in my opinion.

I wonder how long 'we' will have to wait for Android 2.3.4 with the Gtalk/video/voice built in? Or maybe Google will release the Gtalk app with this feature on the market soon.
Guess I could always root

Can someone confirm that Gtalk video chat on AT&T only works over WiFi? I can see & chat with people over 3G and it will even say video available and show the video icon but it then tells me that I need WiFi. Is there a way around this? Perhaps an edit to the prop file or even the Gtalk file thru root exployer to enable the video over 3g..?

Would fring work?

Yes, fring does work. Qik works too but you see yourself upside down or atleast that's what I see. The other party see's you right side up.

Cool I'll give it go calling my friends (cough cough) iphone

Which one did you install? I did the auto APK that allows permissions from superuser and it works great but only over WIFI. How did you get it to install with the 3g? And does it work well? I heard it's very buggy with 3g..?

Are you sure? I think Paul's auto install is the version that only works over wifi. I've installed that version off a fresh hard reset twice and no 3g. I believe someone from that thread actually said that apk was for the wfi only version.
UPDATE: Figured it out. I had to find the updated Talk2.apk and I used root exployer to copy over the old APK. Since it was already installed, that's all I had to do. Re-booted and Google Chat now works over 3g. Wow, it logged in 1st attempt after re-boot with no issues and started working right away. Good stuff... One quick question thou. When someone tries to video chat with me, I only get the notification saying someone tried to video chat but you were not on WIFI. I can then go right ahead video chat them back over 3g and everything is fine. So, I only ring for a video chat if I'm in WIFI but can send no problem over 3g..? Is that where we are at with it or is there something I'm missing..?

Tango is another great video calling app on the market its free and it works real good 3G and wifi it also detects who in youre contact list has it

tried video calls to several friends' android mobiles today in the office - all failed. not sure if it's a network or device limitation, none of the friends had samsung phone tho.
are video calls using the "stock" functions generally only supported between devices of the same make/model?

Do they have UK or EURO standard video chat over 3G enabled? I know I did hear that you can video chat within the dialer with SGS2 to SGS2. If anyone wants to dare try this from one SGS2 to another, or any other GSM phone that has the video chat icon in the dialer. let me know.

[Q] Any app for video calling?

Hey as we all know our htc one x does not support native video calling over 3G so is there any way we can enable it or use any app to gain this function ??

Thanks for the reply guys....hope HTC adds this function in a future update!

It doesn't support it? Really? The native Talk app worked just fine for me to video call over 3G.

Well thats nuts. No video calling over 3G for those whom have network support.
Does anyone know where the restriction is put in place, its obviously not a ICS issue since my SGS2 worked fine. And we have a Front camera lol, thoughts?

Android does not natively support it. But Samsung Androids do have it, so it is possible. Was hoping that HTC would follow, unfortunantly there doesn't seem to be a lot of demand for it.
There are already several issues with google to enable it like this one.

Cos that's the Google Talk app, which by default just happens to come installed.. It's not something built into the OS, and you can only call people who have the app installed as well. Native video calling would mean toe ability to video call anyone whose phone supports it, regardless of OS.

I believe UK was one of the first to have video calling back in 2004/2005 (in your face steve jobs, facetime over wifi in 2010 on a phone is not revolutionary!)
anyway, yes there is a difference between video calling on the network and video chatting using an app over the data connection.
I think the main reason for dropping video calling is the lack use by the consumers, here in the video calling minutes have been dropped from monthly tariffs now, i'm guessing due to the lack of supported devices and also the lack of use, most consumers seem to be more interested in the data services side which is much more useful.

Thanks mate for the update.

I use to be able to make video calls on an old NEC phone ibhad back in early 2000. My GS4 support's it, I'm a bit pi**ed off that my HTC ONE doesn't as I'd like to be able to talk to my kids when im at work or wherever.

Can't switch duo for native video calling.

Android 10, unlock bootloader on T-Mobile.
I have never install Google duo on my phone; now every time I try to video call someone on T-Mobile, this duo want to place the video call.
When people try to video call me, I'm listed as not having video call capacity.
Anyways to get TMobile video calling feature to work again?

I'm not on T-Mobile but is there another way to use T-Mobile video chat other than through the dialer? There's no separate app? And I'm guessing no possibility of getting people to switch to Duo right?

Maybe try downloading and installing Duo (and/or another video calling app like Viber or Tango), then attempt to video call someone, and hopefully the OS will request/ask which video calling app to use, and you can say "Always" to the T-Mobile stock video calling app. Or, if that doesn't work, you can go to Duo's App Info and make sure to clear its "defaults". Worse case scenario is, since you have the ability to be rooted, clear the data of the T-Mobile stock video calling app and maybe it will re-initialize itself, or using something like Titanium Backup (or even manually through a root capable file explorer) and remove the T-Mobile stock video calling app, then re-install it or find an external .apk and use that to install...
Good luck and hope this helps...

Thank you for your reply,
I'll try downloading duo then making sure it's not the default application.

Just want to report..
