Just picked up the device. No Google Talk video chat? Only Qik!?
you can certainly download the apk and install it
it's floating all over XDA forum, just google it
i have the new apk and to install it i woud have to uninstall the old one but i dont no if i uninstall the old one the new one might no let me install
I am pretty sure root is required for this, which we do not have yet.
Root would be required correct? Qik isn't horrible by any means. But google isn't certainly better.

You would need root to install the apk plus the library file that needs to go into /system/lib .
yea u would need root u cant uninstll the old one and when u try to install the new one u cant because its already on the phone so i tried root explorer and u cant do it that way the system has read only
Google Talk Video Chat
Hey guys,
My friends epic 4g touch has a video chat feature in the Talk app. I checked my app, and it didn't have that feature. I did a quick search and saw that it was an update that came with 2.3.4. We have 2.3.5....
Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
You can use VTok on android market. Tried it and it worked fine for a while. It then froze up. Qik sucks.
There is a new one I was reading about somewhere called ChatOn, it is in the Marketplace I think... at any rate, you can chat across platforms, like SGS2 to IOS for instance. Have not had a chance to try it yet.
Got Root, now,,
Anyone find an apk that works with our phones?
Really need this

Thats strange...it worked for me. You are running Gingerbread, right?

There is a way to install the video chat capable version of talk on 2.3.3, but you need root
Do a search in the android market place for talk 1.3 and it should be the second item found.
Its called:
[root] Talk 1.3 Installer by BRAINWASH STUDIO
I tried it last night and it works well

To be honest I'm new to the android world and I am fine with what I have. I like the feel of Sense, and from what I hear there isnt any ROM that has Sense and works very well.
Plus once you root, isnt it pretty hard to go back to stock?

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.
I just use the browser and maximize.
And the reason for it not working? (UK)

My Note 2 arrives tomorrow so thought id check on BBC iplayer since there's no flash and i found this. I'm not very techy and mostly iphone user past few years so forgive me if this sounds dumb...
what is apk? I don't want to boot or install a custom rom or any of the fancy things I see on here as I'm not advanced enough to do so.
The links you post above for flash and something else? Do you need a custom rom for these?
I was hoping I could just download an app to watch iplayer but is it not a simple thing to do?
Would appreciate your help.

an .apk is basically the application itself.
Adobe don't support Flash on Jellybean (Android 4.1) so the BBC iPlayer app says it's not compatible with the note 2 if you search for it in the Play store.
To get around this, all you have to do is go to Settings > Security and tick "Unkown sources Allow installation of non-Market apps"
Then you go back to stesteste's post on page 1 of this thread and download the two files (install_flash_player_ics.apk and bbc.iplayer.android.apk) and put them somewhere on your phone.
Then use a file manager to open the files, and you should be prompted to install them (install the flash player apk first, then the iplayer one) and you'll have iplayer working fine.

Assuming no damage can be done to phone or viruses associated with installing apk files? Read somewhere to be careful of viruses on Android.

This version works without Flash : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.uk.co.bbc.android.mediaplayer
Hi Nick, .apk files "are" Android App files.
That's the name of the file type used .... all the apps you download & use on an Android phone will be .apk
For eg. if you went on PLAY & downloaded the "Opera Mobile web browser" the file it sends to your phone is called "OperaMobile.apk" (BTW it's the only browser i use as you get text reflow after zooming)
Thank you all ...check the sig its here and its amazing! Got flash installed ok and writing this with s-pen how good is this phone!

Hey guys I did some digging around and found this nice little app. Og YouTube downloader.For those people out there who want to be able to download videos straight on your android device. Works on all devices that I know of.
Here's the link to where I found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
Obviously i didnt make this app. Credit goes to Osama Ghareeb for hacking up the app and making this possible.
I tested this app on my n4 and it does indeed work.
I do not provide support for any issues you may or may not have. Please direct your questions by following the link I provided.
Credit goes out to CraftyCreature for finding another YouTube downloader which works perfectly. You can find the app here.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ytdownloader/
I also uploaded the app here too if you get too lazy to go to the actual site. Lol
As always I, OsamaGhareeb, nor anyone is responsible if this app blows up your phone, kills your family or burns down your house.
Without further or do..here's the app guys. Enjoy
Note*
Any version after v1 og youtube will be in fact called just youtube.apk for now one. That means you guys will have to install this app as a system/app. You will need to delete the original youtube apk and paste the new one in its place. Set permissions to rwx r r, save and reboot.
Works great many thanks! Wish it had a download as mp3 only option then it would be perfect.
Why does it ask me to sign in through ogyoutube downloader is it trying to steal my information...

The same could be said when you log in to use Google play, Google music, maps, YouTube etc.. Why are you surprised when you have known they ask you to login into their apps.
Edit: I will update the app from time to time or whenever the dev updates it himself. I will provide an updated link as well.
Thanks for the awesome app

Not surprised at all just saying I'd like the official YouTube app to ask for my login.. I just don't get why a simple app to download YouTube videos would require me to log in after I'm already logged into YouTube. Don't take this offensively. I just take my Google account serious. I purchase many apps and don't want my account hacked. Thanks for sharing the developers app though.

Its the same YouTube app from Google. Its just been hacked to allow you to download videos onto your android device. No worries. You could always use lucky patcher to modify permissions if you feel the need to be totally safe.

The Google Plus app updated yesterday. While the update is phenomenal, one thing I've noticed: I am no longer able to make video chats via cellular data. I have talked to many other users on other carriers and it seems some carriers allow and others don't. I wanted to start this thread to both find out which carriers allow video chat through hangouts over cellular data and find out if there is a work around for us AT&T customers.

I know you said you wanted a work around without being rooted but for anyone else looking for a solution that is rooted try this out:
1.Get SQLight editor from the market
2. Get Root Explorer from the market.
3. use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it
4. then 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
7. Reboot
I did it last night and it work perfectly.
