I didn't see a thread about this, so just wanted to point out that there is now a Qik Video Chat app unique to T-Mobile, presumably for the MyTouch 4G. I did try it on my G2 though, and I can confirm that at least the live streaming works.
I don't have anyone to video chat with, but I have been hearing from other comments that video chats do work on the G2 as well, albeit without the front facing camera.
But for me, I think the live streaming is what is the cool thing here. Glad it works!
Check out Tango. It works and has one for iphone users too.

Can it do live streaming to the web?
You can also use ustream app to broadcast.

I also DL the app but same here dont know anyone that has video chat. PM me and lets see if we ca get it to work
Qik application has been on the Market for months with live streaming to web capabilities
Yeah but the ones on the market didn't give people w/o ffc the option to live stream and actually video chat, just send the video files after u made them. This one for tmobile let's single camera folks go live.

I put this on my wife's and my G2's and when you try to place a call between them, the one initiating the call appears to work, and when you click answer with the other, it kicks you out and back to whatever screen you were on before. but on the initiating phone it still looks like you are connected, the call timer is running, you see can see what you are 'broadcasting' to the other phone in the top left, but there is no voice, or video or real connection between the phones. i tried it vv both ways, my phone to hers and hers to mine.
it doesnt work.
It does work. I got to video chat with my cousin with a evo4. it worked pretty good just some audio lag but its better then i expected

did you try to mimic what jskash said? try placing the call on different phones and see how it works.
how does broadcast to web work? is it to another phone or is it leterally a website people can access when you are connected and broadcasting?
I can back up that I've tried it also with a friend in KC and it does work. It was awesome because we don't get to see eachother often and my kids have never been to her house. She walked all around the house and even showed off the dogs. I got a call and was momentarily paused until I rejected it but it immediately started back up and we continued on for about 20 minutes. The only thing was the sound on my end was a little low, I could hear her but it was a stretch if background noise cameinto play. But yeah, it does work, at least from a G2 to an evo and both ways because first she called me but I had to leave a noisey room and plug in my phone to charge, then I called her and it worked also.

it does work.. my sister has a mt4g and while i was able to see her she was able to see me since we g2 owners dont have ffc
I also tried to go from my g2 to my wifes g2. Same as other poster. Looks good until you answer and then the phone cuts out and the caller looks like they are connected but they are not. Too bad,
Well I claim to be pretty good with phones and its not often i`m stumped on stuff like this.
I really need help though? My Nexus keeps talking to me!!
Its only on the web and some other web based apps like youtube. It will read out the letters as i`m typing into Google. It will read whole web pages to me too.
I have gone through the settings many times over. Def checked that Talkback was off. I have no idea whats making it do it.
My last Nexus did it too so I know its not a faulty handet.
Maybe an app I installed or a setting I just dont know about?
Anyone know what it is???
Take a look at accessibility. Its probably something there. Or your phone is possessed.

I noticed once I setup my google account it downloaded all my Market apps. Could you have a 3rd party app loaded which was downloaded to your last Nexus and current device which is reading the text outloud?
If you weren't sure, you could post up your list of 3rd party apps and I'm sure somebody might be able to recognize the issue?
Also, does it always happen on specific web pages or on all different web sites? perhaps you could record it and post up as somebody might recognize the voice pattern or web pages it reads?
Trying to gather more information in hopes of getting a more specific solution. Throwing out ideas .. hope that helps!

Mm true could be an app thats come across from my last Nexus. Is there an easy way to list all my apps? I have over 100 of them.
All web pages and some apps. It doesnt always speak either!
I`m trying to get it to say something it says when using some apps. I think it says "play" but i`m not too sure as I have my volume turned right down as the speaking is annoying me now...
Ok here is a video of it in the eBay app and on the net.
See what you think??

hmm,did you restart your phone after you turned off your setting's?
also try uninstalling all apps reboot and see if it still happens.
or do a factory reset and dont let the market download any thing.

Thanks but this wont help me find whats causing it only eradicate the issue.
I know doing this will fix it but it will come back.
I want to know whats making it happen really.
Cheers anyway.
Perhaps narrow your search down to apps you think might do this. Many apps will obviously not.

you must have accidently enable this.

unfortunately, i am not sure how to turn it off.
I HAD THIS ISSUE!
Drove me around the bend blurting out everything I went near on the net!
i spent about 2 hours clicking round , retracing steps, reclicking on things...suddenly it stopped.
Only thing I remember doing was opening up default.prop file in viewer out of curiosity so I did this again as well as other things and it stopped. Have you been viewing or even tinkering with any system files?
If this doesnt help try:
Go into your apps list and disable the TalkBack inbuilt app. That may mitigate the problem.

This accessibility part has something called talkback in which is turned off on mine. So not sure what else in there would cause it. ??

Ok I have disabled TalkBack app. No joy
I have not done anything to any files. Like i say it did this on my last Nexus so i`m guessing it may be an app i have installed.
Just wondering if its caused by Lightflow. That is the only app that asks for accessibilty on my phone.
Might try uninstalling.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway.
I spoke to Samsung last night and they went through some settings then said my handset is faulty!
I know its not and i arent changing it again, this is my 3rd one already!!
I had the same issue just from turning Talkback on and off... Like I really want to hear the time everytime I hit the power button ffs. I think it's fixed now (*touch wood*) but I had to screw around in the settings turning it off repeatedly to get it to stop working...
Did you just get your phone? I had the same issue when I got mine too. This wasn't just on webpages or YouTube app. This was EVERYWHERE. If I opened the app drawer, it would be like "launcher" or if I swiped to a different homescreen, it would say "screen 2" or something. I went to accessibility in the settings and turned off "Talkback". The phone stopped reading stuff to me after that.
Lmaooo!

Hey everyone, so my Galaxy S3 works great except that the HBO GO app for some reason has sporadic static lines running through the video. I don't notice this in any other video app including WatchESPN or YouTube. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it and even tried installing an older version and nothing has gotten rid of it. I have a second Galaxy S3 that my work is letting me borrow for testing and it has no such problems.
This is really getting me frustrated and was hoping that someone could offer some advice. I'm not rooted so I'd like to avoid wiping the device but didn't know if any other apps conflict with HBO GO that I should be aware of. Attached is a pic of the screen and you'll see the static lines I'm talking about outlined in red. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Do you have cinemax? If so try to see if it does it with that app, too.

So I ended up just going to the T-Mobile store and swapping out the handset since I was within my 14 days. The new one has no issues with HBO GO or any other video. No idea what would have caused it but was just hoping someone else had seen the issue with the video before.
Thanks everyone.
This is going to be a long one so bare with me...
So I was using my phone tonight surfing web sites that I frequent, checking facebook, watching YouTube videos, streaming audio and the like. While watching a flash video stream from a link that was posted to a friends FB page I get a text. Didn't check the text immediately as I would normally do deciding to finish the video stream instead. When the stream was done hitting the back button did nothing as if my phone froze up so I pushed the home button to get back and then check to see who was texting me. Low and behold it's a text from T-Mobile stating "to prevent future Smartphone Mobile HotSpot (Tethering) access bla bla bla" crap. The thing is I was NOT tethering when I received this text. I very rarely tether if at all.
For what ever reason I decided to look at my data usage to see how much data I've used so far this month ~5.6GB. I thought to myself seems slightly above average for me at this point in my billing cycle, so I started to scroll down to see what was using my data. To my surprise I see apps in the list that I know for a fact are NOT on my device. So I started to take screen shots as proof (screen shots below).
While in the process of all this activity, from the time of ending my video stream to taking screen shots, my phone is being very sluggish, something its hasn't done since I got the phone??? Anyways as I'm trying to take the last screen shots my phone flickered and put me back to the top of the data usage page, again something my phone has never done.
So I start back down the list again to finish taking screen shots and notice the apps that I know are NOT on my phone are now NOT in the list of app that used data, everything thing else that's normally there was still there??? (screen shots below).
I have since turned off my mobile data until there's a way to keep "them" out of my phone (I don't know if this is the avenue "they" took to enter into my phone but it makes me feel better).
Maybe I'm being paranoid, I know I'm a little freaked out by this, look at the screen shots and determine that for yourself.
The first 9 pics are from before the flickering, the last 6 pics are after the flickering.
My question goes out to our developers here, is there anyway that this invasion/intrusion into our privacy and our device be stopped? If at all?

Honestly, I'm suspecting malware or something otherwise gone wrong way more than T-Mobile personally being in your phone or something.
Looks like Carrier IQ. Nothing new. The numbers you see listed are likely the ports it is communicating over.
If you ever see it happen again, tap on one of the 'unknown' apps and see what it tells you.
Remove the following apks from /system/app and I bet you will never see that again.
IQ-tmobile-release-unsigned.signed_TMO.apk
IQ_OOB_TMO.apk
IQToggle.signed_TMO.apk
/system/lib/libiq_service_tmobile_2.2.so
I suggest you take a look at TrevE's CarrierIQ Thread and his Logging Test App
Anyway, I wouldn't worry so much about it to no longer use my data service. They have been doing this all along and at this point most likely have long since got most of the info they wanted from your device. Chances are, their systems detected heavier than usual usage and automatically triggered the system to send its current reports and logs back to Tmobile. Doubt there was an actual person on the other side 'hacking' into your phone!
This type of stuff has been going on for quite a while now. The first step you need to take is removing CarrierIQ from your phone! This should ALWAYS be one of the very FIRST things you do when you flash or update your system! Next is to check out TrevE's offerings and knowledge I linked to above.
And remember, even without CarrierIQ, everything you do over your data connection gets sent straight through Tmobile's systems first. Whether or not they are actually capturing anything, I dont know. But they do have the ability if they so choose, or are requested to by law enforcement.....
Not trying to make you overly paranoid, but just the right amount can be a healthy thing!
Hope that helps clear things up a little for you.
The second data report is 11/20-11/27.... the first is 11/14-11/27.........
Did you download the Avengers movie?

Thanks doc for your response. Those files you've mentioned were removed immediately after flashing this rom on its release day JLA.
This is why I got freaked out I know for a fact they are not there.

I'm sorry, wasn't going to reply, but had to show my appreciation for the above reply. Epic my friend.
On another note, have you seen the extreme throttling that goes on after you exhaust your data allotment? (I'm on Monthly 4G, Unl/5GB) Screeny below... the last 2 test or before I hit 5GB, the lowest test in the middle is when throttling began and the top results are after I called and b!tched them out.

carrier IQ.....
also, getting caught for tethering can happen as long as there is a record of your data usage on their end, and all somebody needs to do is take a peek at it.
also, don't use wireless tether apps.
How the Netflix app running, smooth?
Netflix runs great on mine. Depending on your connection. If I use my phone for connection and in Sprint spark territory I receive HD content. Same for home network.
Yes Netflix is gorgeous on the 10.5. Give it about 30 seconds or so for the HD movie to buffer and it looks incredible.
The Netflix and youtube apps have been optimized by Samsung for this device. They look spectacular. It's third party video apps that suffer with extreme Pixelation and ghosting in dark scenes. Such as Crackle, Cable Provider Apps and other streaming services.
Mine doesn't even let me activate it, I mean, I'm just entering the app for the first time, when I enter my Email and password is telling me that the device can't be activated, I called Netflix and the only thing they told me was to uninstall it and reinstall it and when I told them that this one came pre-installed that I can't uninstall it just turn it off, he didn't even know what to tell me.
They are telling me to contact Samsung, so go figure...

Please call Netflix and/or Samsung so they know that this isn't an isolated problem and worth together to fix it.
I called Samsung and basically told me to reset to factory, I asked them if they guarantee me that doing that will fix my issue and they couldn't, so I told them that I wasn't in the mood of just wasting hours that took me to set this today just to see if that fixes it and if at least they have a reliable backup solution where I could simply reset and restore I'd do it, but not with the joke they call Kies, and that I have had all their Galaxies s, both Gears and now the Tab S, so I do like them but must admit that their backup solution is a joke and is a shame that they seem to not care about do something at least like LG has.
I called back Netflix and this time they were asking and escalating the call and in waiting for a call back.
Just for curiosity and trying to cover all the bases, are you on the Continental US? I live in Puerto Rico and I'm just wondering if this could be some Region issue.
Just to let you know that after trying all day at the office where I'm the System Manager so I have full online access as usual with all my previous and actual android devices, and after talking to Samsung and Netflix guys I just cane home and guess what, I could activate Netflix without a hiccup, so what can be different with this Netflix app on this Tablet that is the first device that I couldn't activate the Netflix app but everything else was working perfectly, even more, I used the OEM browser and Chrome and went to Netflix and login from there and saw everything perfectly, so the proviene was always the Netflix App.
Let me wait for Netflix call as they haven't call yet and see what they think after I explain this to them.
The Netflix app has worked flawlessly for me from day 1.
Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".
The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.
I was able to get it working as well. I went into the application manager and uninstalled the update. Then, let it reupdate from the Google Play store and it worked fine.

They never called me yesterday, but after trying at home and worked I'm sure they just re-adjusted something on their end, that's the only explanation why suddenly it worked after not working for a full day, I'm assuming that they just changed something and let me try it again by myself instead of call me, that can explain why yours is working now also. I did what you are mentioning here about 5 times and nothing worked before, so if now is working then maybe something was changed after my couple of calls.

Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".
The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.

Netflix streams 4k video now, breaking bad, and ghostbusters I know for sure are 4k. I don't know if it will convert or look better though on the Samsung tab S? Let me know if you notice any difference?
I picked up the 8.4 S yesterday and I think it's clear that this is the best device for Netflix I have ever used. I checked out both the 8.4 and the 10.5 at the dealer and felt that the 8.4 was superior due to the pixel density giving it a sharper look.
To some extent I didn't feel the 10.5 was any better than the Note 10.1 2014 and I have always felt that video was a bit blurry on the larger screens. The display density on the 8.4 is just perfect and Netflix and Youtube are impressive.
I got the 10.5. 32Gb. Love it. No problem seeing up Netflix. When I started the the stock Netflix app it requested an update. After that it run smoothly.

I noticed some of you said that Netflix was already installed. For some reason mine wasn't.
I wonder why?
As I thought there was an exclusive Netflix app for the tab s. If I download Netflix from play store is it the same app?
Also for those that have the Netflix app pre installed is it not deletable then?
Mine came with Netflix pre installed. I can't delete it, only uninstall the updates.

Mine also came with pre installed Netflix. When I tried to run it, it promenade me to upgrade the app. After the upgrade it run flawlessly.

Got my galaxy tab s in the UK with no previous installed Netflix. Downloaded the app from Google play and it just hangs on the signing in page. Very frustrating.
