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?

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

More to the point, why do people root, when they have no reason to..... If you want to know things you can do after root, there is no real need to root.

Now that your rooted you can get rid of bloatware by using an app called root explorer, navigate to the folders stored on your phone and delete everything you see. Bloatware will be gone

Personally, I think Titanium Backup is better for removing bloat because it removes data associated with the bloat too
Also, to backup and restore your rom you need an unlocked bootloader. Root won't help you with that
I think you might have missed the sarcasm, if im not mistaken

And also, this should have been in Q & A not general.
Titanium is awesome.

get titainium backup and freeze everything. Then get app 2 or sd and move some stuff over
Good Luck
i saw app that change the command of the R and L buttons
but i cant find her now
Maybe it's time for a sticky thread about the best apps with root access? I think that would be a great idea. I wanted to root for a couple reasons (WiFi tethering, Six Axis controller, and removing bloatware) but there were still some things that I didn't know about that I do now because of a previous thread I made like this one.

Yea exactly if you have to ask then you obviously don't need root and should just leave it be. Good point man

Bloatware is any app installed on your phone by a service provider that you don't want, but without root cannot get rid of. (i.e. On verizon, they include vzw navigator, a pay-to-use navigation system; backup assistant, a "service" that works the exact same way as any android automatically syncs your contacts with your gmail account; and visual voicemail, a pay-to-use voicemail system that is equivalent to google voice)

Aww come on people, xda search button fail is 1 thing but google fail takes the cake. Now you must be trolling.
Whats next? Are you going to ask how to find google in the dev forums?
Hey dude. If you dont want to answer then just shut up. If i am really trolling then who cares, if other people know im trolling they wouldnt answer me and it is fine with me. Just freakin mind your own business and dont take opportunities to show off that youre better than any of the xda mate here.

Nothing
I'm keeping mine as close to stock as possible so once updates come out I can keep figuring out how to root the R800x

Dude go take your fustrations out on your wife or kids, if you think im showing off because i know how to read then that really doesnt say much about you.
Like the majority of people here, if i do not know something i will go look it up, not ask others to do it for me. Your either super lazy or just plain stupid.
If paxchristos already answered then its over right. Why would you add up on things on which is already answered. Isnt it showing off. Why would i be frustrated? It is you who should be frustrated because nobody cares about how you show off here. I bet youre also doing it on others. Theres a problem with your attitude man. And stupidity is not even enough to describe. Maybe its just reasonable enough to take that frustration out on yourself. This is a place of information, from basic to advance. This isnt a place of showing off.

Most of the root-friendly APKs I've tried don't allow you to pin videos (ie save them to your device). I started using "temp root remover" from the market instead. It basically makes your phone look unrooted, allowing the video app to run like normal.
I like it because I just use Google video from the market and i can get all of the features from it. It is only a minor annoyance to run the root remover first- not really a big deal for me. Root remover doesn't require a reboot or anything so it's quick.
Anyway, it is another option.

is that the only alternative solution? i was wondering if a software would do and repair it, since software also possible damaged it. i was hoping you guys could help me before i sent it back. any way thanks for your help.
Try contacting Jinx13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4002805
He uses a remote method to unlock bootloaders and such for xperia phones. I've heard this method can also be used to unbrick phones, which is most likely what you've done.
PM him, or get his email off his profile. I may be wrong, but it's worth a shot.
thanks, Got it working though....I used S1tool with semc patch and did the ground to test point thingy. after a few tries... the network just showed up. I can now use the simcard.

I play puzzle and dragons recently. And it blocks you if your phone has root. I wonder if there is any method to hide my root. I have tried many application but it doesn't work.
My phone info:\
Galaxy S3
Android 4.1.2
I9300XXELLA
3.0.31-899179
Any help would be appreciate
this should be in the q and a section but im not overly sure about a way to do that sorry.
Use supersu there's an option in the app to temporarily unroot.
But still wrong forum,questions should be posted in q&a or in the proper thread if u got a bug/feature report/request..
I have tried to use the temo unroot. but no use. It still detects my root. But when i choose unroot function, it alow me to play.
