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

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

In /system directory... use an app like root explorer...
I have edited the build.prop by using copying it and editing it on my PC. Then I tried to paste the edited one back into the System folder. But I cannot because its a read-only system file. How can I edit this file and save successfully or paste this file sucessfully.
Or how did you do it?
Thanks.
P.S. Is there anything in there that we can edit to make the app ignore the network? Being that it only allows you to use your "Home Network".

Use a root file manager (such as Root Explorer), go to /etc and open gps.conf

download the file. put it into the /data directory. open with root explorer or something that has a text editor. change the us cellular text to whatever you want it to say. change the two digital roaming texts to whatever you want it to say when roaming. save. reboot. should be set. make sure permissions are set to at least rw-r--r--.

actually i think thats the wrong "data" directory...the 1 in the android folder is /sdcard/android/data....i think the person who supplied this meant it should go in to /data...you need a file explorer that goes "up to root"...so if im correct you should only see "/data" and put this file there...could the person who posted the file please verify..sounds like someone is gonna break something...thanks

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 just thinking to myself "why mod it so that every app you have installed shows up in the multiwindow bar?" This presents incompatibilities and also makes it hard for those who have a lot of apps installed (me) to really find what we're looking for to actually multitask with.
With the latest leak they've added the ability to specify which apps get multiwindow support through the awesome CSC engine. Now, instead of having all of your installed apps show up, you can pick and choose which ones you'd like to be added.
If you ever wondered how those Sprint apps got added to the list, it's by editing the feature.xml file located in /system/csc
Find this line:
Code:
<!-- Multi Window -->
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.mobitv.client.sprinttvng,com.sprint.smps,com.sprint.mobilewallet,com.sprint.android.musicplus2033,com.nbadigital.gametimelite,com.zipwhip.devicecarbon.sprint,com.zipwhip.devicecarbon.sprint,com.handson.h2o.nascar09,com.telenav.app.android.sprint</CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
Add and remove apps by package name. This is a bit advanced so it's more for ROM chefs or users who know how to retrieve package names and feel comfortable editing this file. If someone were to create an app to do this, it would be even better. I have over 300 apps installed and this is the perfect way to make sure I'm not scrolling endlessly as I try to find the app I want to multitask with. A reboot later and your new app should show up in the list.
Thank you.

Thanks Freeza!
I modified the feature.xml and added the Yahoo Mail app (com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail) entry and then rebooted. When I went into Multi Window, I was able to add Y!Mail and was able to split screen it.

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Appears Chrome Beta and Chrome are not able to co-exist in Multiwindow. I added Chrome Beta (com.chrome.beta) to feature.xml and then Chrome is not available to split screen with. I then tried to add Chrome (com.android.chrome) to feature.xml as well, but only 1 Chrome will show up.
