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 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

How To enable Swap file ?

At first: experimenting with swap, system settings and further can cause immense damage to your phone and/or sd-card. I am just trying to help and I am not a pro. Read as much about the topic as you can find, and wait for someone more experienced to answear!
I don't know what you exactly want to do, but if you want to use a swap file, I think you must have a swap partition (don't know if it works without it)on your sd-card (that will decrease the sd's lifetime!!!). If you ensured this, you can search your Roms settings for some features about swapping. If you found nothing, you can try an App like Swapper2 or ram manager. But I don't know the exact steps for the apps!
Good luck

Thanks I m no pro either but I know how To do it with partition....I want To know how To set or run the script to do it with a swap "file"..ty

If you have that script already, it could be run with "script manager - smanager" (sorry, couldn't post links to market). You start the app, search for the script and choose "run" (i think you have to set button "run as root"). The Script Manager starts the script and you have to follow the on screen hints.
Again, ATTENTION on what you're doing!

Thanks alot bro but yeah its more how To create the script cause when I open the terminal it says swap function is not implemented

By googling for "swap file script" the first link shows you how to enable swap within in the well-known Cyanogenmod with a script. You could have a close look on this or serach for something similiar working with your Rom (the script in this Link seems to enable some more terminal commands, maybe thats what you looking for). Or you can try to adept it on your own (Nandroid Backup!).

Yeah thats what im looking for thanks 4 your time and advice

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

if the eri.xml file didn't work there's a couple different ways you can do it.

[HOWTO] Add apps to Multiwindow on Stock ROMs

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.

Nice!!Thank you works fantastic

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.

Great info...A little too complicated for me...worried id screw it up...but still, thanks.

If you use root explorer, navigate to data/app, all the passage names are listed there... just leave out -1.apk... so for quick pic (the blue app icon you see in the screenshot) it would be com.alensw.PicFolder

not all apps are there. i have found a few in another folder. sometimes doing a search in root explorer is better.

Tweaks CODES for FEATURE.XML

Hello,I haven't posted much mods for a while figured I'd share some cool tweaks for your stock Samsung mms.apk Am currently using clean Rom 4.1.2
All Codes are entered in SYSTEM/CSC/feature.xml
Copy the full code of which ever ones you want within the text folder (download link) and paste it under the (message) part in your actual feature.xml file within system/csc
FEATURE.XML TWEAKS http://www.mediafire.com/?1trsan38b8ch516
Here's one screenshot of the contact pictures eliminated with one tweak.

Another Screenshot
FOR EXAMPLE:
"Will Eliminate the contact pictures in stock mms app"
<CscFeature_Message_DisableContactThumbnailInMsgList>true<CscFeature_Message_DisableContactThumbnailInMsgList>
"Will let you see a picture text in one page view instead of the "slide show" method"
