Gtalk on GB? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been wanting to try Gtalk, but can't seem to find in in the market. I have seen others mention that they are using it.
What am I missing? Is gtalk available on the epic?

It should be on your epic..... look in your app drawer for "Talk"

Thanks. I was looking for "GTalk."

Also, I was under the impression that gtalk had video chat ability. I don't see anything in the options for it.

Ahhhh, "Screenshot" is ok, simple app. Also that new screen cast and recorder app has a screenshot function that works okay as well. There is a demo version and a paid version.

Idk if LCD Density is responsible, or if it got pulled, but since this thread has been posted, it seems to have been pulled out of the market, I'll verify by checking my apps to see what info is provided.
Edit: Yeah, it got pulled out of the market.

anybody know why?
Maybe they have an update guideline.. or improper flagging.. or pulled by request of the person who made it. I've emailed the dev in the past, 0 feedback, perhaps he removed it to release a better version, or perhaps was insulted/furious in the fact that there's other apps that provide the same functions, and even copied his apk icon, recoloring it to avoid copyrights.

Shootme Alternatives?
Does anyone know of any good alternatives to Shootme?
I have v0.8.1 on my phone, but for some reason its not working.
Actually, its kinda weird. It worked perfectly fine on my Evo running Froyo before I rooted. Then I rooted a couple weeks ago and flashed CM7.1. Now its saying "Failed to start server. Please check that you have ROOT access...blah blah blah," even though I've granted it Superuser permission. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the like. I know CM7 has built-in screenshot feature, but Shootme is a lot easier when taking multiple/quick screenshots. Anyone have any suggestions of how to fix this, or know of any good alternatives?
Drocap2 maybe.

Check out and see if busybox is working. Busybox installer in the market usually does the trick. I had an issue with shootme before because busybox wasn't i.nstalled properly. Hope it helps.

Can someone mod shootme so that we can get a better framerate on the screencast feature. Just to let you know a Dev already did this but his modded apk is no longer available in his thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925270 ). Also know that the higher the framerate, the crappier the quality of video. Here are the steps if anyone can do it:
just decompile the app with ApkManager or other and ajust the values in /res/values/array.xml
I would do it myself but I don't have good luck with ApkManager

What's with no native video calling on the epic??

Is There native video calling on the epic?
I have seen other galaxy s phones and they have a video call button on the dial pad. But I have a message button.
Is it a gingerbread feature?
I am on gingerbread but its a leak. Eh17. And I know some of the features are disabled like the over scroll and the crt animation and the gingerbread keyboard.
Is this one of the disabled features maybe?

Wouldn't that be sweet? I think they will be pushing the Video in Google Talk when official GB hits. We all know how horrible Qik was.
I did not hear anyone mention it on the Galaxy II Epic Touch which comes with Gingerbread so doubt it will be included. Were the phones you saw European Galaxy S phones?
i was wondering this too, does anyone know why its not there?

I was using it on my Epic on EH17 and it works very well. I tried to add it to Froyo but no joy. It works extremely well on the ET4G with the 2 megapixel front camera. I did a 20 minute video chat with qbking from my Epic. I was on 4G and there was no lag or stutter but there was occasional sound loss for 2 seconds and it picked right back up. I think GB 2.3.4 is required for it to work

So how do you enable it? Its not an extra charge with sprint is it? Cuz on the bottom of the dial pad its a green call button then a grey or black back up button and then a text message button where the video call button should be but its not.

No. It will enable video calling option in Gtalk. There is no app for native video calling on the Epic. However a Google search of this reveals Google's intent to put it in 2.3.4. I am guessing you saw it on a non-Galaxy S phone since none of the US carriers have GB yet. But the Conquer and Galaxy S II series have 2.3.4 as well as the Nexus and no one has mentioned this native video calling. So is Sprint not supporting it to avoid the bandwidth overload?

OK, just read some of the articles and they are talking about Google Talk with video. So not sure where you saw the video call button on the dial pad unless it will be integrated with the Google Talk and for contacts that have it enabled.
Look for the one Shinydude posted. The the pictures are the right side up, and the video option is inside to G-Talk app. I flashed it on Hurricane and CompKid's ROMs and it works well. If anyone needs a link,.let me know. EDIT..wipe cache and Dalvik and flash this. It will automatically reboot your phone..

Maybe it was on a galaxy s 2 phone. And I was mistaken. But it was definitely not on the epic tho. But another galaxy s phone or at least some Samsung phone with touch wiz 3. Cuz the dial pad looked exactly like mine but with the video call button instead of the messaging button.

Yup, option the dialer is exactly the same. The link I posted for G-Talk w/ video chat works on 2.3.4 ROMs only... at least it didn't work on the Froyo ROMs I tried but I am pretty sure you need to be on GB 2.3.4 so EH06, AND EH17 ROMs are fine. Kenny, is EG22 2.3.4 or 2.3.3?

No, its only inthe G-Talk app. There's a little videocam icon instead of a green dot when others with video chat (either on phone or PC) are available. I chatted with TheRoot as well. He was on his PC and I was on Urban Decay..I answered my own question..lol. It does work on EG22.

So, the OP thinks that on one of the AT&T GS variants, there is a video call button on the bottom of the phone diaer? Well, that's either captivate or infuse 4g, so it shouldn't be hard to find a pic or video.

Not at all. I have a galaxy s phone so I know exactly how it looks. And it was a galaxy s phone and it was the same except for the video call button

[Q] GPS screen app

I had a GPS app way back on my hero that I would love to have again. I can't remember what it's called though and Ive searched for it for quite some time using all kinds of key words here and on Google.
Anyway. The app allows you to look up the street through the camera on your phone and it will show the locations of restaurants, gas stations, pool halls, whatever. All on the screen. Does anyone know what it is called if it even exists anymore?
I hope I put this question in the proper place. If not, please move it to the right place. Thanks for the help guys.

That's probably the one, great app, I use to show that off to the iPhone users.

I think I got malware or a app triggering notification ads.

I am getting two ads a day in my Notification Bar. It's odd because I don't download anything from the market that looks suspicious. I also read the comments for everything I download. Does anyone know of a way I can figure out what app is pushing these ads or if there is a app that will scan my phone for malware?

Get airpush from playstore it will tell you what app is causing it
sent via galaxy s3 on jelly bean
If you find the offending app, you can opt out of their push notifications via a website depending what company is pushing the spam on you. I honestly forget which company it was ... you'll have to go to the playstore and find the offending app and check out the description. I know one of them had instructions on how to opt out.
Wont work for all of them, but you might get lucky.
There is also an airpush opt out app in the playstore as well.
