Video / voice chat in gtalk - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a new android user and I'm looking for a way to voice chat using gtalk on my android device with other people who are using google talk on their computer.
Is this even possible. ?
Apparently even google search is not much of a help with this issue.
BTW i'm using an XPERIA Arc S
Version 2.3.4
Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62
Stock ROM. Not rooted

There is a solution but you must root you phone before. There is a lot of tutorial on the forum to root the arc s.
Once your phone is rooted, install the recovery (it's very easy and safe): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
Then download the version of gtalk with audio/video enabled and install it on recovery (rebooting your phone pushing the volume touch) and selecting install a zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13328944&postcount=1
Good luck!

Even yahoo messenger allows video/voice chat with just a plugin installation.
Is there anyway to make gtalk to allow voice chat. I don't need video. Just voice will do !
Rooting seems to be pretty difficult as firmware version is .62.
Also i don't wanna screw it up when ICS update is just around the corner.
thanks for the reply anyway but is there any alternative option

Application for Video chat
Hey,
If you are so worried about rooting n stuff...
Try this app: Vtok-Google VideoChat(Beta) ...

Enjoy your new phone on the Official stock ROM for a few months and then start tweaking around....

Official Adobe Flash Player 10.1_10.1.72.7 for FroYo inside

Thanks to GAda for the link.
It is the official flash player for froyo 2.2 available from the market (although the market doesn't let us download it, I persume it was downloaded on a phone running 2.2 that the market did like).
Works a treat on JP2 (tap and hold to enable full screen flash) much better than the ported flash player that was posted some weeks ago

quick question, can you go on this site

If you can, I may flash JP2 just for this reason ( I flashed JM2 yesterday )

I tried it on jp3 but the downloaded file has a .txt extension. It tries to open with html reader lol. How do you change a file extension in android?
Ok... Update. I changed the file extension to apk with astro file manager then installed with android ( not astro). Google is my friend lol

There is no 'stock' Froyo for the Galaxy S, so which rom are you running out of the leaked Froyo ones (JP1, 2 or 3)?

-i have jp3 instaled today and i can't install some games like raging thunder 2 and when i try to open the game like assasin creed,asphalt5 say the need sd card with a least 0mb ,on 2.1 i don't have any problem...
-ps this flsh is awesome like on my pc:live tv,video etc cooooolll,die iPhone(i have 2 years).
Are the JP1/2/3 roms actually stable? I'm not sure whether to flash it or not. Can anyone outline any of the issues with it!
My xp
I have used the JP3 since it came out, and it is mostly stable for me. Wifi and HDSPA/GPRS works fine, Internet application crashes sometimes, usually on first start, then it works fine. Contacts application works, but sometimes the letters on the right to make you quickstep to a certain letter disappears. If you navigate in and out a few times, they usually come back though.
Other than that, it feels pretty snappy.
I cannot get flash player to work unfortunately, but it seems that a lot of people without root have that problem, can anyone actually confirm that?
/J
-the adobe flash player work perfect on my fp3 without root ,but i change the room and now i have jm2 because the 2.2 froyo have lag,bugs,etc
Is there anything you need to enable to make flash work, because it does not work for me. I have tried several apks, playerversion.com says I have 10,1,72,7 installed though, but no flash content seem to work.
/J
only instal flash with appsinstaller and reboot ,in browser option dezactivate mobile view and thats it.
so you cant use this with the stock rom?

I might have become blind, but I cannot find that option anywhere.
Are you supposed to find that in Settings in the browser?

galaxy ace work???
I was wondering who the hell bumped this thread.
Just give it a try. Won't hurt. You can always uninstall it later on.
I spent five minutes literally trying to figure out what was so special about a flash player leak that came from Froyo 2.2, before I noticed the date on the first post!
Seriously, why bump this???

[REQ] MT15i 3.0.1.A.0.145 (2.3.3) Generic firmware

Did anyone update to the new 2.3.3 firmware for UK or the USA yet?
Can you create and upload the ftf files please?
A few days ago I updated my firmware to v2.3.3 but now it is full with Chinese apps again and no Google apps installed at all. I don't know what other way there would be to remove the Asian apps and install all the Google goodies.
HK
http://u.115.com/file/clwlnrqu
Global
http://u.115.com/file/e60c0hcd#
BTW,I don't test the ftf.
I'm waiting for rooted rom.
Thank you so much Froce !!!!!!
It worked like a charm!
I've updated my phone with the "Global" firmware.
-----
For anyone who wonders how to update the phone with this firmware:
Before you start be aware that all your information stored on your phone (except for SDCARD) wil be wiped. The apps that you have installed will be gone, your message history will be erased, your contacts (unless synched with Google account) will be gone too.
And... like froce wrote... the ROM is not rooted.
As far as I know there'e no rooted 2.3.3 (3.0.1.A.0.145) out yet. For those that need a rooted F/W. Please go to Bin4ry's post [How-to] Root your Arc (Xperia NEO file included) for a 2.3.2 (3.0.A.2.181) F/W. Also that F/W worked like a charm on my Neo.
Software preparation
Download and install Sony's Update Service. I needed this to install drivers that later on are necessary.
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...updateservice/1.349192/xperia-neo?cc=gb&lc=en
Download and extract X10flashtool. This is the program that you need to install the .ftf firmware images. To be able to install the ftf firmware images it needs to connect to the phone through the drivers that you just installed with Sony's Update Service program
Find the download link for Flashtool in: (I used v0.2.9.1 Beta)
[TOOL] [UPDATE 22/03/2011] Flashtool BETA version 0.2.9.1
Copy the firmware image into flashtool's "firmwares" folder. This folder should have been created when you extracted the flashtool archive
Phone preparation
Enable "USB debugging"
Switch off your phone
Connect the USB cable to either your phone or to your computer but not to both yet.
Flashing
Start Flashtool (administrator rights necessary)
press "Flash" button. You should get a new window that shows the device type and firmware content
press "OK" button. A new windows should appear that is asking you to connect your phone. Don't connect yet.
hold down the "back" button on your phone and keep it holding down while connecting your phone to your computer
the window should disappear and flashing should start.
release the "back" key that you were still holding down and sit back, relax and wait.
after flashing is complete, the text message window should say "now unplug the device and power it on". That's it.
Firmware details:
Global firmware came installed with:
Sony apps: Timescape, Music, Gallery, Calendar, Support, Synch, TrackID, Postcard, Media Server, PlayNow Store, FM Radio, Clock, LiveWare manager
Google apps: Market, Facebook, Maps, Gmail, Talk, Navigation, Places, Lattitude, YouTube, News&Weather, Google Search, Voice Search
Other apps: Lets Golf, Media Discovery, NeoReader, UEFA.com, OfficeSuite, Hanashi
For the Global Firmware, where do you go on the page to download the file? I've put it through Google translate, and when I go to the box beside file size, I'm prompted to download and run 115br_u1.exe. Is it safe and/or the proper download method? Thanks in advance!
Sorry,I forgot that is a Chinese web space.
I upload it to mutliupload.
http://www.multiupload.com/FI7016ZECR
Can the UK FW be installed in a Rogers LT15A Arc? And is this FW a generic one, no brand?
Thanks
This is a neo thread,not arc.
I think that froce's Global firmware is unbranded as inside build.prop:
ro.semc.version.fs=WORLD-1-8
If you can install Neo firmware on an Arc? I don't know. Why would you want to do that if there's more Arc firmware copies available than there are Neo copies.
So no one is able to make a rooted and updated IMG for the Neo, even with the FTF file? It's fustrating. I flashed the 2.3.3 rooted ARC firmware and it works, but I have to turn "auto rotate" screen off, so stop the screen going mental. Apart from that phone is much faster and responsive.
Weird. No problems here with the screen. Works as normal on my phone.
Yeah, wish the firmware was rooted too. I wish I could 'patch' the firmware myself to get root. If anyone would explain how to do that then I'd do it .
Ask for tester.
Please tell me the result.
neo global rooted img.
http://www.multiupload.com/T0FNM2L0EC
This rooted img is ok.
Thanks
Can I use this rooted image for unrooted 2.3.3 HK version?
Worked fine here on my Neo! I flashed from the ARC firmware. Thanks so much!
Yes It works!
ERM, i update to 2.3.3 from SONY update service, if i apply the root version, is it mean i need to unlock the bootloader?
Installed and rooted on my Neo (HK 2.3.3) without data loss.
Yes, unlocked BL is required with cleaning of every data.
Hi, can anyone explain to me why there are some SE apps which keep on coming back even after uninstalling? I'm talking about the infamous Hanashi, Neoreader, and UEFA.com apps...
In the firmware that came with my device (Netherlands) they were not there, but the global has them. I tried removing them but even after uninstalling with TitaniumBackup they come back at some point. Also Hanashi seems to eat up some memory all the time!
Tnx!

Maybe because the old f/w wasn't deleted. Yesterday I flashed the rooted ROM and I came to find out that all apps and settings were left untouched. The ROM that I had on my Neo before flashing the rooted version was the same version (2.3.3) but unrooted.
If you don't mind then you could try flashing the old ROM first (2.3.2). The link is in one of the replies in the top of this post. Maybe that will delete the old apps (and all your settings and contacts too). After that flash the 2.3.3 version.
I'm unsure if it will help but maybe it is worth a try

Market issues after rooting and installing Virtuous Unity ..

Hey guys, I have two issues to discuss, after rooting and installing a custom ROM on my phone (Virtuous Unity) ...
1) Even though I have added my Google account to my phone, have enabled syncing on it, and have also gone into the Market app on my phone, on the Market website, my phone is still not showing up ? How do I make my phone show up on Market website as well ? .. This helps in installing apps from your computer, which is easier if you want to install lots of apps ..
2) How do I enable the US Market on my rooted phone now ?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello I'm Sorry if im making a new thread , I have a little problem over here

i also already clear the android google playstore data, removing, and readd my google account- Still.. Server Error
I've check the time and date and setting too, I even already use wifi to connect, but still Server Error
I already use the market enabler too
Please, can anyone help me how to fix this thing up, Ive already spent a whole day try to fix this thing, Thanks
[SOLVED] Finally After doing this steps, i am currently able to enter my Play Store

I think that wont work, because the problem is, my play store cant even show anything except a gray background with 2 words Server eror - retry
From what i got, the link you reccomend to me emphasize on how you remove restriction on some application in certain countries
in that case, their play store should be able to going further into the play store than me, which is can only look server-error retry
in Addition, i also have a samsung epic 4g and already injected with the same operator as my galaxy nexus does, however my samsung epic can access the play store without any trouble, so that means the problem is not the restriction in my country
Thats make me really confuse
Anyway, thanks for your response, i greatky appreciate that :good:
UPDATE:
I am already running on Jelly Bean Unofficial
I Already Reflash the gapps with Jelly Bean's Gapps
andd
The Play store keep showing "SERVER ERROR - RETRY"
This thing really got me frustrated
anyone have an answer for this? help me
SOLVED, Thanks All

Need help, developers please look into this matter.
I am having same issue. Can someone please help? The issue is that whenever updating any app via playstore itself, the full app gets downloaded instead of the incremental update. The camera app is over 35mb, many other apps are about the same size. Downloading such big updates every other day is not practical. I have used an HTC device with ICS earlier.. It downloaded incremental updates... Like maybe 100kb to 3mb for apps more than 40mb themselves. I can understand that sometimes the updates can be huge but I have seen this issue every time.
BTW, just FYI, I think something has broke this feature. The day I got my phone, I updated some app and it did not download entire thing, just a part. Now where has that feature gone? Someone please try factory reset and confirm this.
even i have this play store prob.. right from day 1 . haven't found a soln.

To update the Google Play Store on your Android without an APK.
Follow the steps:
1. Open the Google Play Store app
2. Open the side slide-out menu
3. Select "Settings"
4. Scroll down until you see "Build version"
5. Click on "Build version"
If a new build of the Play Store is available, you will be prompted to download and install it. If it’s already the latest, you will get a message that reads, “Google Play Store is up to date,” as you can see in the photo above.
Does your device have this problem? And does the method suggested by you work for even yourself??
I have a strong feeling that this has something to do with cache. Something like the device is unable to understand what the earlier version is while downloading!! Or maybe our ROM lacks the permission to write over the memory where the installed apps are!! And so it downloads entire app and installs it as fresh install because it is unable to patch the update over already installed app... I am just wondering, I don't know much about the android software and this new dalvik v/s ART. I program in other languages.
OK so I factory reset my phone + wipe sd card, and surprisingly Google Play automatically updated to latest v5.0.38 automatically no need to side load it but main problem still there updating apps still downloading whole app instead of only actual update size. I think this is problem of ROM of Android One.(I am still not sure how many people facing this issue.) But I cant update whole app again and again. Please someone find solution of this or contact Google or Micromax for this issue.
yes bro.. u may be right. I faced the same issue. finally I got rid of tat by shifting to PAC ROM. jus move on to custom rom. tats the only soln for now
sent from satellite fone.
Facing same issue !
Same here too. Any solution for this ?
