it's set that way for ALL phones/carriers on gtalk. the only way to remove the restriction is to edit the android.gsf file in sqlite, but as far as i've searched the normal files to edit aren't on our SGS3.
See if this works.

I was able to do it on my HTC thunderbolt over 4g with verizon. Maybe because I was rooted, and someone edited the android.gsf file?
The files are there. I used root explorer to browse to the files then sqlite in order to edit 1 entry once edited your are golden.
Path: /data/data/com.android.gsf/gservices.db
In that file open the main table and edit gtalk_vc_wifi_only to false and then reboot

I can confirm that this works. This is what I've done with both my SGS2 and SGS3.

I didn't notice this originally but he might have made a typing mistake. On mine it is data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db <-that's the database you want to edit.

Verizon too?
Does anyone know if gtalk_vc_wifi_only is in a different location on Verizon phones?
When I filter for gtalk in com.google.android.gsf > gservices.db > main
I have about twenty records come up, but nothing resembling the wifi only setting.
This is great information. Thanks!
However, if I'm on mobile data and I'm trying video chatting with someone who is on their PC, it starts but then ends shortly after that and my friend's PC displays an error in their talk window that says there was a "problem with our servers". It happens on Chrome and IE. On my phone, it says that they ended the chat. On the other hand, if I'm on wifi, it works fine. Has anybody run into this problem?

For those of you on verizon, it works for me straight from stock, not limited out of the box. I have at least been able to do it on 4G, haven't tried 3G yet.
This works on all Verizon phones with OS 2.3.6 and up over 3G/4G & Wi-Fi. No root needed

I can't find the thread but here is what you have to do.
Using root explorer ( or similar program), navigate to /system and set folder to writable. Open ur build.prop with text editor and add the following line:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval= (enter desired time in seconds here)
Then save and reboot.
I think the default is like 120 or something. I am not sure on JB but the line isn't there like it used to be. On the OG epic, the line was there and my value was modified to 300.
I would suggest backing up your build.prop before modifying. I am still new to the sgs3 so I am making an assumption this will work for you.

Thanx everyone.
I was wondering if there were some good build.prop tweaks that make the device better.
I also wonder if a property works if I add it manually.
Can someone help me with optimize my build.prop?
If you add a tweak manually correctly it will work, but I think it could be better if you use some app. I think there are a couple made by a forum member, jrummy, one specific for the editing of the build prop and one which is a suite, ROM toolbox! In these app there's a long list of tweak applicable...

Thank you. But I have that app installed and within the build.prop editor I can't adjust everything because there are properties missing...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Ok, i was thinking you were at your first attempt to edit the build.prop! However within rom toolbox you can directly edit the build.prop file and there's a really usefull function to make backup and restore the original build.prop, that's why my suggestion... I know that's easy manually too, but graphically is even better... and more you can add properties with the editor so there are less chance to make typo error than adding them manually...m2c
So let me get this straight, you think changing some lines in Build.prop is gonna optimize it?
Well, I think that the change can better fit some behavior of the phone to your need but I don't think it could drastically increase your performance... As I read in the pa thread performance are overall Google code related...

Mostly placebo, I used to use build.prop tweaks on my old Galaxy S 4G along with drastic undervolting and overclocking. Finally one day I actually compared results of before and after from an objective standpoint and came to the realization most of that stuff didn't make a tangible difference.

I ended up downloading pimp my rom apk from market and am messing with that at the moment! Thanks for the confirmation...much appreciated!
Interesting app. Which tweaks have you tried in it and which will cause issues?
And, of the tweaks you've tried, how do you know they are actually working?
So these edits in the link do you just add them or do you have to change whats there to say the mode. Because I just add at the bottom and every thing seems to be working I think nothing broke lol sonthats a good sign

I only do the ones I understand! If you go to the forum for this app there are tones of explanation of what each tweak or mod does. THE ONLY ONES I DIDNT USE WERE THE CAMERA MODS DUE TO THE FACT I HEARD THEY BRAKE THE CAMERA. Other than that just make a nand and tweak away! How do I know its working...i guess i dont. It seems faster, multitasking, internet and data...to me it seems to be working. My only concern was if you invoke a tweat or mod that doesnt play well with a tweat or mod in your rom already...they tend to fight each other and can make things sluggish. I noticed that the build.prop edits are put at the end of the build.prop file under /system and also in /system/etc/init.d. In the ladder of the locations i think is where Platt puts the tweaks for my rom Synergy. Thats my 2 cents! I have been running safe with the mods and tweaks for over 24 hours now and no issues!

I ended up using pimp my rom apk due to the easiness of the UI! And there are plenty of videos explaining what each tweak does on his forum page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269
I've tested a few, then used 3 different benchmark tools and speed test apps.
Many of the ones I've tested obviously require custom kernels, etc or otherwise have 0 effect. Ex: vsync.....
As a good reminder, before you start experimenting, make sure you back up your device with a fresh nandroid.

What have you enabled?.
Wondering if there's anything worth enabling in it?
I noticed there's fm transmitter on the 811 version.
for me so far, i changed "ro.build.target_operator=ATT" to OPEN to get rid of the annoying AT&T text in the notification/lockscreen, and changed DPI to 540. there's not much that's actually useful in the build.prop this time around

Did you notice any issues with changing your DPI? Any apps not working or looking correctly?
persist.splitwindow.support_all = true for Splitscreen for all apps. ^^
Changed build prop to 500 all is good.

Can you please explain what exactly your changing here? Are you changing "ATT" to "OPEN"?

What other values can you set it to? I'm on AT&T and it worked when switching to "OPEN", but I'd prefer the stock Android status bar. It exists in the systemui.apk, so there must be a way to enable it.
Wonder if call recording can be enabled with a build prop edit?

There is a record option in the build prop but it didn't enable it for me. Gotta be something else with it I bet.
Anyone with a sprint g4 manage to edit the build.prop without bootloop? Every time I modify the build.prop (dpi or enable/disable anything) it will just keep looping
What app do you guys use to modify the build.prop file? When using root explorer, it just tells me that the file is too large so nothing will be saved. I used to use 920 text editor, but it's no longer available in the play store

Might be framework related too. I remember using G2 and G3 tweakbox and you could enable it. Problem is this is the 4 and no xposed yet. I think it takes more to be able to add the button to the dialer.
Edit.. Actually the more I think of it, enabling it in the build might be what works, but it's just a matter of adding a physical functioning button to start record.

Yea. I used tweak for those too. I just didn't know if the dev was modding build prop.
I emailed him on the play store to see if he was making a g4 version now that we have root, but no reply yet. Hopefully enough people do the same and he makes one for us.

You'll need a build prop editing app. I use buildprop tweaker pro.
