[Q] Google talk with video on stock 2.3.4 - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

has anyone been able to get the g-talk app to do video/voice with the stock 2.3.4 rom from htc/verizon? I got it recently and the app itself didn't even change at all despite everyone else i know on 2.3.4 having the updated g-talk. Suggestions/thoughts?

+ 1 also curious why no video

well i kinda got somewhere by doing the hack around way by grabbing the updated apk that is listed in teh CM7 thread but that only lasts until restart and FC when you try and start video, so i'm not too sure how to get this going at all and hoping someone does know how.

Having trouble with hulu

I know this is a relates topic, but xda search on my phone isn't very good. If someone or tell me or link me to get July on myn 2.2 working, that would be awesome. I have I had a persistent white screen issue, gave up, and then downloaded the newest flash because I just gave up.
Thanks

Did you intend to say hulu? But you didn't catch your keyboard auto correcting ya to July?
If hulu is what you're referring to, then you don't want the most updated flash player. I havent used hulu in a while, so I'm not sure if it's changed...but when I did use it on Myn's, the hulu download that he provided came with a hacked version of the flash player. The hulu app needed that version to work. All I needed to do was flash Myn's hulu zip, and it would install the hulu .apk and the hacked flashplayer that it needed to work. Then when I started hulu, it would come up to a while screen with an hour glass. I'd have to tap the hour glass, then it would go white for a minute or two, and then it would start playing. It took a minute for things to start playing, but it'd work pretty good if i had a good connection.
Ah, hulu would make sense...lol

Wtf HTC, hulu should be in the dictionary. Thanks correcting me, ill fix that tomorrow on the computer. I did flash myns hulu app, but it stayed white for probably a half hour before I gave up.

hmm. Are you sure that flash didn't auto update itself? Mine did that before, the little box was checked to allow it to auto update, and I had to go to manage applications and hit 'unintall updates', and then it worked. I'm not sure though, this was months ago when hulu was first available for the Evo. Maybe things have changed since then, and the methods are different. I just know that before, you needed the hacked version of flash, to trick the hulu app into thinking it was playing on Windows. Maybe do a search for that hacked flash player? I'll take a look for ya when i can.
Use Titanium to Wipe data for the Flash you installed, then use it to uninstall (maybe back it up first).
Then install this flash and the Hulu apk (attached) from your sd card.
If flash isn't uninstalling properly (you will know b/c attached Flash won't install), might have to reinstall from the market and erase it a couple times to get it to fully uninstall.
^Will this work on CM7?
Not sure if this is the same flash file, but it coupled with the hulu apk you posted right above me works flawlessly.

not sure about the apk, but i use that edited flash for every GB rom, then change the browser setttings using the about:debug go /settings/ua string/ desktop
I THINK it works on CM7, although I don't actually use Hulu on my phone anymore. I might try to set it up later since I am on CM7 though.
Alright, Im a bit of a noob, and I don't know how to wipe data and uninstall in titanium

Netflix

So the official netflix app is now out but only available on market for nexus s...I can't seem to find the apk but comments on engadget were saying the app worked great on their G2. Has anyone been able to find this? Is it legal to upload here since it is a free app?
Its on market now

just tried this on a Bell Desire Z in Canada...where they said it's not working yet. Got the apk from the Epic 4G forum as well. I can log into the app, pick a movie, it seems to play, but no sound or video. Just a black screen. A few seconds in it pops me out to the menu.
That was the issue I had on the non official app a while back. May be because of your region

edit: just rebooted, I had sound for a second, progress FTW!
I have CM7 on my G2 and same issue can hear sound for like 5 - 10 seconds with a black screen then jumps me back to the main menu. My Boss has a stock G2 and it works awesome.... making me start to wonder....

Yah, I was wondering if anybody's tried the Netflix app on his rom. And yes, it is. It's based off the G2 Gingerbread OTA, if I remember correctly. He hasn't/doesn't post on here.
Gotcha.

Works on G2 Stock but not on CM7
Okay, so here is what I have found out. On my G2 it works on my stock (rooted) rom, but doesn't on CM7.0.0. On CM7 I get about 5-10 seconds of sound with no picture then it exits.
So there must be something in the program that looks at some OS thing. One thing I noticed with CM7 vs STOCK is that market.android.com sees 2 different phones on my google account even though I have only 1 phone.
So the obvious question is can we fake CM7 to be reported as STOCK?
This is weird. I figured it was some incompatability issue with 2.3 but apparently HTC Evo users running CM7 are enjoying them some Netflix. What gives? This app has been confirmed not to work on CM7 for the G2 and I'm running a stock build based off the official OTA and all I get is sound and a white screen. Hopefully a fix comes around soon.....
Yeah I just flashed the new Virtuous Fusion with Sense 3.0 and netflix works on the G2 perfectly. This version is Android 2.3 and I believe the only 2.3 rom so far for the G2 confirmed to have netflix working besides stock 2.2. So it can't be that the netflix app is looking at the OS version. I would imagine the requirement to play netflix is something developers will easily be able to figure out and implement on roms from here on out.

Sounds to me it's AOSP gingerbread it has a problem with.
Just installed and tried it out on my G2 running CM7.0.2. Same problem as others, works great, I can start watching, get audio with no video, then drops me back at the main page after a few seconds.
--MrAnt--
Virtuous v1.0.1 also doesn't work
Just check the Virtuous v1.0.1 ROM on my G2 and it failed to work.

No netflix

Does netflix not work on 2.3.3? Because I can't find it on the market
XDA app on EVO 4G
Nope. When I opened up the Netflix app after updating to 2.3.3 it opened up the Netflix loading screen then the screen went white. The Netflix app is not showing up in the market when I search for it. I googled it and saw that Netflix acknowledged this issue and are working on fixing it.
Nope, there have already been a few threads about this.

Honestly, it all depends on what ROM you're running, not what version OS. I've been running stock Netflix from the market perfectly fine from MIUI, which has been based off of GB for about 2 or 3 months, now...
I had the same issue when updating to the latest cm7 nightly build. I had it on nightly 87 but not 88 which i am still currently on. I just found a netflix apk and downloaded it. Works fine
My Netflix has worked fine on #86 2.3.4 until last night. I guess it was pulled from the market because I can't find it nor could I play any movies. Now when I try to watch it just says some type of error.
I'm not rooted (I know, why the hell not) and before the update to 2.3.3 when I loaded up the netflix app it would show the red screen then go white shortly afterwards. I uninstalled then downloaded again but got the same results. All this before the update. Now it has been pulled from the market. (my guess is that it won't show in the market if you're on gingerbread) So could anyone post a link to a working netflix apk. If not could you send it to my email address: [email protected]

However, the reason it's down, is because they are updating it to the new phone, so just give it a few days.

I just updated, signed in and tried to do a video chat both ways....tried calling someone and had someone call me and NOTHING....still same old thing for us! The UI looks a little bit better then their old one but I'm sure this will be a matter of time before someone disables the device check on this and cracks this sucker wide open for everyone!!
That's what I am hoping for...if we can fool the app into thinking we have a supported phone it could work...

clean GB sprint tv app

i cant get sprint tv to update correctly when upgrade to GingerBread. when it try to update it get this error. im running Clean GB.
Download failed-1java.io.FileNotFoundException:/fs/shared/csites.tar (no such file or directory)
any fix?
Sprint tv is not in cleangb. If you look through the dev thread, I *think* toad linked some of the sprint apps. Might be wrong though...maybe touchwiz or wigets is what I'm thinking bout.

Ya Sprint TV did not come with cleanGB. My kids like it so I was able to get the .apk from another person's phone that was still stock and it works fine on it. I searched the web and the market and could not find an app for it. If you need it let me know, I am still new to all of this but maybe I can send you the .apk I have of it some how.
Good Luck
