I've had my S3 for about 3 weeks now. A couple of days ago I stopped being able to do google talk video calls on the ATT network. It says I must be connected to wifi. Anybody else have this problem? It worked for 2 weeks then it stopped.
Video over gsm has been disabled on the device. If you are rooted, you can make a simple database edit to allow video over 3g. If you have already done the edit 2 weekes ago, its possible that there may have been an update and causing you to have to redo the change

There is an app on Play store for Root that allows this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innodroid.gtalkenabler&hl=en
Thanks all. I'll work on rooting.

So, no dice. I rooted and installed that app. When I run it, it asks for root, then kicks out the message: database error unable to access database is video chat enabled talk installed. I must be missing something.

Here, you go, i just did it and it works perfect!
1. Download SQLight editor from the market
2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.
3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it
4. Now click on "main"
5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold
6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true
Sweet, thanks! Changed it false, rebooted, and I'm good to go. Thank you!

I did the procedure. Now I'm not getting the error when I select the Gtalk Enabler, then I reboot, go to talk, press video chat icon with whomever I want to video chat, it starts ringing a couple (2) of times (before I used to get the wi fi message), then it cuts out and it displays on the recepients box the following message: "Sorry! The video chat with Anglo (that's me) failed because of a problem with our servers at 11:15 AM. Please wait a bit and try again."
However, if I use Vtok this error doesn't happen.
Any help will help appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. I made the database fix, which now lets me attempt a video call without getting the wi-fi only message. But when the other side tries to answer the call, I get disconnected and they get an error saying that GTalk servers have an error.
Has anybody else gotten video chat to work on the SG3? If so, what other step do I need to take? And I don't really want to load another app to do what this one is supposed to do.
I to was wondering I used talk video before but now i dont have a mic or video camera beside any of my contacts..Wierd

That sounds like a different problem. Mine shows the video camera icon on wifi and also on 3g, but it will only connect when I'm on wifi.
Was working
My Google Talk video was working then I tried it today and go the WiFi message again. I went into the db using ashell and the gtalk_vc_wifi_only is no longer there. I have been searching but can't seem to find it.

The Gtalk Enabler worked while I was on CM10 but the bluetooth worked horribly so I went back to the stock JB rooted. I tested after I made the change and will uninstall the enabler now.

Ok, you're right. I downloaded the db to my PC, edited it and loaded it back onto the phone. Problem is that Gtalk video calls still don't work on my AT&T S3 even after the db change. Are other AT&T S3 users getting this to work?

I'm running stock rom. Is there an HTC youtube app installed on the Tilt 2? If not do you guys know which version works. I don't like the Google app. Thanks.
Youtube is installed on Tilt 2.
Tools > File Explorer > Windows > YouTube (444K sized file will do just fine)
Copy the file and paste shortcut in Start Menu> Programs
The next step is very important.
Goto:Settings >Connections>Connections>Advanced Tab: Select Network button: Change bottom drop down to Media Net. Both drop downs should be Media Net.
Thats it.
Is this just another example of AT$T trying to limit streaming on their network?

Followed the instructions to a T. Working great.
After doing this fix it seems that youtube will now load smaller videos over 3g. But the problem is now that they don't load over wifi. Anybody have this same problem?
I did everything as told and when I select the youtube icon under PROGRAMS nothing happens ...... should I copy the youtube.exe - 11k to start menu > programs? Thanks for any help......
I didnt have to change anything in my advanced network. I just disabled the Proxy.
Artexman-make sure you copy the Youtube file thats about 444k, and not the other.

Disable your Proxy, and it should work. Start -> tools -> proxy manager -> disable proxy cab
I was using a cooked rom that had nothing todo with at&t and i still had the youtube connecting problem then i installed this cab it it worked great

I agree with irus. I am using that cab since I had a TyTn II and it solves the youtube problem in our Rhodium as well.

I missed the second page that had my answer so i am editing my question

When my wifes iPhone hits a site that has embedded YouTube video (e.g. pocketnow.com) it shows the "video" picture within Safari, when you click on it it opens up the iPhones built in YouTube app and plays the video. When I go to the same site on Opera 9.5 (Stock AT&T ROM/Tilt2) the area where the video picture should be is blank, except for a small area where it says, "Plug-in content".
Is there any way to get WM 6.5 to operate in a similar fashion as the iPhone does in this area?

I installed this on my Desire a few days ago, and although I love Ping, it works crap for me.
I can send things fine, but when trying to receive anything, I do not get any notifications, unless I exit and go back into the app, and then tap the user sending the message which is useless. After going in, the notifications all appear suddenly. If a message is sent to me again, I have to exit and go back again to receive them. Anyone else getting this prob?

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?

First off, I'd just like to mention that I did not write this OP. I saw it over in the: xda Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games section originally posted by K Dotty. All credit for this hack/mod shoud go to (her?).
I just wanted to post it up here so that everyone in our wonderful SGSII section can take advantage of this awesome promotion before it's over. I did this myself and can confirm that it's: quick, painless and works flawlessly. Reboots and all; this whole process took me about 5-6 minutes. Hope this works for all of you, and if you need help or have a question about this please do just ask (but search the thread first).
*Random Side Note*
It does mention a backup in K Dotty's post, but I just thought I'd take one more quick opportunity to remind everyone to MAKE A BACKUP of your build.prop before you begin any of this. And in case you're wondering, I used a root explorer to edit mine (ES File Explorer to be exact).
--------------------------------------------------
OP:
I've seen this guide in various places but i thought it would be most useful in here. I have searched to see if anyone has posted this here but found nothing.
Basically Box.net are offering 50GB online storage (normally 5GB) to anyone with an LG or Xperia phone. If you dont have any of these phones you can still benifit from this offer by quickly editing your build.prop.
What you need:
- Rooted phone
- A way to edit your build.prop - build.prop editor, root explorer, etc.
- box.com app
First open your build.prop using yor prefered method and edit these two lines to look like this (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST):
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G
Save, reboot.
Open the box app and register for a new account and you should receive a 50GB account.

Hey 50gigs is 50gigs. Definitely more than enough for collaborating on projects and trivial file storage. I mean it's no HD replacement, but it's free and imo better than Dropbox or SugarSync. I think of it like an extra large flash drive that I never have to remember to grab on my way out (or forget it and leave it somewhere, lol).
Tried to edit build prop, but doesn't save. What can i do to fix that?

Use ES file manager and go into your setting/preferences and scroll all the way down and just click on the options to "open as writable" it'll ask you for root permission and presto.
I had that same problem with astro and root explorer along with ES until I saw that option.

Yes! to 50 GB
i had an old account with 10 GB, i could definitely use another 50, and another 50 more
got plenty of email address
but even so, i still prefer DropBox better, it's much more integrated into more Apps
Box.net is not as popular, and they have been on the market waaaaaaay longer than dropbox
--- update ---
sweet!!!!! it upgrade my old 10+ years old dummy account from 10 GB to 50 GB
you don't need to register for a new account, just by logging in to the old account, you automatically get upgraded
This worked! thanks alot! it took me a while but i got it and upgraded both my accts to 50gb!
im on a samsung t989 but my signiture says otherwise! lol

A cool thing you can do with the Box account is make a network drive on your PC so you can easily access it like a folder on your comp.
1.My computer
2.Tools
3.Map Network Drive...
4.Choose the bottom link that says "sign up for online storage or connect to a..."
5.Choose another network location
6.In the box paste in box.net/dav and click next (Put in the standard http// and www infront of the box.net/dav. I just cant post the full link because im a new member.)
7.Put in the 50gig Box account you made, login and name the drive.
Thats it, now you can easily access your 50gigs on the comp also.

1. From your Desktop, right-click on My Computer and select Map Network Drive, or from within Windows Explorer, choose Tools and then Map Network Drive (these options may differ from Windows XP or Windows 7)
2.Choose the bottom link that says "Connect to a web site that you can to store your documents and pictures".
3.Add network location screen will pop up click next, till you see a screen that says "specify the location of your website"
4.Inter http://www.box.net/dav/ into the box that says "Internet or network address"
5. click next, give your folder a name and your set to go.
Hey, I'm glad everyone else is pretty stoked about this also. You can never have too much storage (I was on the same page as AllGamer and used multiple accounts, lol). I'm glad that I could share this with everyone.
Also, I doubt that box.net will "get wise" to this. If they are not as popular as other big cloud services (ie. sugarsync and dropbox), and they're using a promotion like this to boost business. They we're probably hoping for/expecting a large number of new users. So lets give 'em what they're lookin' for!
Wow. That was easy. Much appreciated.

I finally got GV Integration Free onto my N7(WiFi only model). Here's how to do it. First you'll need a GV account and the GV app on your N7. Then follow the instructions below.
1. Download and install "MMS.apk"
2. Download and install "com.mdrtools.app.gvintegration.free-1.apk"
3. Open GV Integration Free and enter GV email and password
4. Select "Enable Integration" and wait for device to reboot
And that's it.
Enjoy!
EDIT: GoSMS also works with GV Integration.

Why? What does this do that Google voice doesn't do?

It allows you to use the native messaging app or GoSMS to send text messages via Google Voice. I personally didn't like using the GV app to text and since you can't install this via the Play Store on a N7(WiFi model) I decided to share the apks for those who wanted to use something other than the GV app to send/receive texts.
This is awesome
GV doesn't group all the messages from one sender into a single thread and the interface is not attractive to me. I use GO Sms, and this allows me to use my favorite SMS application on my tablet. Thank you very much.
How did you extract the apk?
Great work! I have been using the apk you posted and have purchased the paid app on my S3.
On the Nexus 7 tablet, I keep getting the nag screen each time I get a new message, and I can't upgrade because the app is not compatible with the device in the market.
So my options (as far as my limited thinking allows) are:
1. Figure out a way to disable the nag alerts.
2. Extract the paid apk from my S3 and install it on my N7
How did you extract the apk? From Googling, it is supposed to be in /data/app/com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration-1.apk and I should be able to pull it using adb, However, the apk does not exist in /data/app/ on my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

You could do a Titanium Backup of the app on your S3 and transfer that backup to the Nexus 7. Then restore the app only (no data) on your Nexus 7.

Thank you. This worked perfectly.
I had to use this attached MMS apk (see link below) on cm10 stable with a GV integration apk that I can't upload here because its a paid application. The GV integration APK in the OP saying it was pirated.
Download MMS.apk: http://d-h.st/jmf
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not sure why it is saying it's pirated, it's the free version that I backed up on my GNex and transferred to my N7. So if you have the problem of the app saying it's pirated and have a device compatible with GV Integration then you can back it up with TiBu and transfer the apk to the TiBu folder on the root of the "sdcard" and restore it through TiBu.
Could someone please post a screenshot of what it looks like?
Will this work for Canadians?? I installed everything and the messages say they have been sent but no one is receiving them. I can make calls via gv no problem but this is my first time trying to text.

Thanks for this info. I got it to work with an inverted mms.apk, same one I use on my phone, but I'm not getting notification of a new message on my notification bar. I have it set in the GV Integration to "Always" for Notification Bar Icon. Are others that are using the AOSP apk getting it to show on their notification bar when you receive a text?

So I tried this out and it worked great!
I haven't been able to get chromp or go sms to work on top of it but just the default messenger app itself isn't that bad.
