Front facing camera and the apps that utilize it.

So I just tried using Tango with a Nexus S to another Nexus S. Audio quality is great. The camera on the other hand tho doesn't switch to the front facing one. It stays on the back camera.
The QIK app for T-Mobile video chat doesn't even download from the market and if you look in the comments there's a lot of "fc's on nexus s"
Just a heads up to anyone still looking to purchase a Nexus S.
I'm sure these issues will probably be resolved soon with a new update to Tango.

Just got a Tango call, camera wouldn't switch to the FFC. The software needs to be updated which probably will happen in the next few days

it blows my mind that they didnt release anything natively with Gingerbread. that was a huge fail on google part

Try Fring... I'm yet to try any so thanks 4 the heads up. My friend is getting hers tonight so we'll try fring later

Honey comb is going to bed the major overhaul update that will bring that. You want a polished experience, not something half baked.

no fring does not work either

neither does the yahoo messenger app with the video call plugin. all these apps need to be updated that's all.

jeez its about that time

Qik actually seems to work for me. It was a titanium restore but Evo to NS is working here

[Q] Need Mobile AP for DK28...

I know that this does not work on DK28 currently, but if anyone could get this to work it would be very helpful. This is the only thing keeping me from going back to 2.2. I need it for one of my computers when im not home. Here is the link for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785719
The guy said he was gong to look into replacing the sprint mobile hotspot with this. If anyone could do this and possibly include it in there rom then I could go back to 2.2. I have seen a few post of people using 2.1 because they also don't have this for 2.2. I hope there is more interest and we can possibly get this done. I would try but I know nothing about how to do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to do this, or has interest in it.
FYI - I have gotten every wireless device in my house to see and use this app. (ps3, 3 laptops).

I'm on Mammon's Bonzai ROM and using the Sprint Hotspot app just fine. The only issue I'm having is that 4G drops when I get or make a call while using the hotspot.

assuming your paying for the feature as well. Ill take a stab and say he wants a free infrastructure hot spot, which I think as of right now is only possible on 2.1 odexed roms. The original porter of the i9000 ap said hell only port again on am official release. Cyanogen I believe also has it as a possibility, but its not yet working on our port. And the op of that thread says it won't be any time soon.

Also BTthomas is working on coding the mobile ap to work on 2.2 froyo deodexed roms and said he was making progress but is taking a break for the holidays, so we might see it soon maybe even b4 official froyo but have feeling that once the 2.2 source is out jr might make a new one and bt might have one faster for deodexed roms so ill give it a few months at least and we will probaly have it work on all roms

Mobile AP Thread Appears the app creator is working on it for us.

I doNt know about for the ps3 but I'm using wireless tether rc2 on froyo and it works great on my iPad and laptop. I had mobile ap before I updated and honestly wireless tether to me is just as fast. I haven't tried it on the ps3 though.

Wireless tether crawls in comparison, the loading of web pages on my computer is so slow with wireless tether, plus mobile ap doesn't get my phone hot even when charging, also when u connect multiple compters and devices to wireless tether it crawls more mobile ap I've connected 4 devices on 1x speed and 2 of them were streaming u tube in under a minute of loading, plus mobile ap is so much better looking and not an extra app u have to have its part of your settings and kicks ass plus it works superbly on 4g when wiress tether doesnt...

Yeah I really dont know to much about it. I only used it like one time. It would be nice to have on froyo but I'm not gonna let that be the reason that I didn't update to froyo.

Cool thanks for all the info on this. Yes looking for a free alternative. I only need it about once a week for a few minutes. The Google cr-48 only does infrastructure mode. Kinda sucks but I need it when I'm out and there is no wifi. Haven't activated the Verizon 3g built in yet. Just want an alternative to it since I have the phone, but then again I probably wont go through the 100mb limit it comes with. I use the computer for school so I have to make sure I have internet in case I run out.

Mytouch3g best rom?

Whats the best rom to put on mytouch 3g for my fiancee, any input is helpful..

its sapp.nbh, but that's for "un-rooting" your MT3G.
"Best" is pretty subjective. I am constantly changing mine around, but the ones I have like most are:
1.6 Donut ROM: SUPER D
2.2 Froyo ROM: TheOfficial D/S (had this on my phone for maybe 2 months without issue)
2.3 Gingerbread ROM: I am currently using GingerYoshi 1.1, and just downloaded 1.2 so can't comment yet. with 1.1, I noticed these problems: GPS sometimes doesn't connect..at all. i have to go into google maps first if i want my location to show up...if i go into google navigation first, i have to leave that app and go to maps then into nav. Also...the damn ROM doesnt give you voice to text like the others do. It says "This device doesnt support this feature" when the 2.2/Froyo roms do.
All in all...if she doesnt like to tinker with her phone and she just wants it to work, I would use TheOfficial D/S from enomther. It's Froyo, but EVERYTHING just works...and it works well.
hopefully that helps.

I have had a mytouch 3g since 2009 when it came out and have used it since earlier this year when I bought a nexus one second hand for very cheap. Here's what I think...
1.6 - Donut. Super D. Definitely the best Donut Rom. I like the newer versions but this ROM was definitely fast.
2.2 - Froyo. Official AOSP. I used this for about a year or more with minimal issues. It did everything I wanted with occasional lag (but that was just me putting too many widgets =P)
2.3 - Gingerbread. I had Gingeryoshi 1.1 for awhile with some issues. The GPS messes up sometimes in that the screen went "fuzzy" but all I had to do was restart it. You have to get Ghostly SMS so you receive all text messages since gingerbread on a low memory device has issues receiving text messages. Battery life was better in my opinion. I upgraded to 1.2 shortly before I bought my N1.
As you can see my answer is very similar to the previous post which says a lot about those three ROMS.
I never had much success with the CM roms on the mt3g. It seems to lag way too much even with Auto Memory Manager and other apps just like it. I liked gingeryoshi the best... once you get over some of the bugs you come to realize it's gingerbread on the mytouch 3g which is freakin cool! My mom uses my old mt now with gingeryoshi 1.2 and loves it.

Netflix added atrix!

Just read on phandroid and decided to download it on my rooted atrix and it played but with a green line. This was from the market. Any1 else with the same issue?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

you should read the other 100 threads before asking this again, its a known issue its not optimized for the atrix on 2.2 unlock your bootloader and flash 2.3.4 if it will work fine then

Concur with last post. Netflix works great on HKTW 2.3.4! Just make sure you still have streaming on your account after the new price change.

Nice! I have been using it since I UL'd and using 2.3.4. Works great. I still just checked it on the Market and downloaded it so I can get the updates and such.

I tried it and still had the green line and ghosting as well. I am on 1.83. I did some reading and it had looked like it was still the old 1.2 version in the market. My thought is it should work with 1.83 as I'm guessing they haven't gotten the GB update yet to test the Atrix with. Or did they just assume and not test?
On a side note, after uninstalling Neflix my corporate exchange email couldn't connect to the server any longer. Could uninstalling Neflix have caused my issue or was it just a weird coincidence?

They updated just now the Netflix version. Looks like they updated the list of supported devices but forgot to update the app. That's now fixed.

This seems to be the case. I installed it and immediately had an update. I just tried after the update and it's working just fine.
FYI... I'm still 1.83

Yeah! Netflix working PERFECTLY under 2.2.2.

Awesome! I've been contemplating upgrading to GB just to get this but since it works perfectly on 2.2 It will make waiting for the OTA more bearable. Now If we could just get skype video.

I just downloaded it and im running 1.8.3 stock and I have no green bar.I don't even have root
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Yep, it works now

Yay! It works... but it looks like crap.
At least on my Atrix it looks like crap.
I own a Atrix (AT&T) as well as a Droid X (Verizon) and I have Netflix running (from the Market) on both phones. Side by side the video on the Droid X phone looks nice and sharp without blocky pixelation and it's only a 3G phone. But the same video on my Atrix which is supposed to be 4G takes forever to load a video and then when it finally plays the picture looks terrible with horrible pixelation to the point where I can barely make out what it is I am looking at.
I am running stock FroYo on the Atrix without any tweaks. What is the deal with this phone? Is it the phone or the network? The Atrix shows 3 bars at my house (whereas my Droid X shows 4 bars) so it looks like it's got a good signal to the tower but the network speed is really terrible.
I was so excited to get an Atrix (since I have a tablet that has a Tegra 2 chip in it as well and LOVE it) but after owning this phone for a week I have to say I am beginning to regret getting it.

I haven't tried using at&t data...I just use wick and it is excellent

I'm running 1.57 with my 3/4g data testing at 1.8mb/s down and new netflix works great on atrix with good image quality.

Can't Wait
Awesome.... just keeps getting better and better!

It's not the phone; it's the network.
I've found out it's the AT&T network. When I posted my rant earlier I found by using the Speedtest.net android app I was only getting around 200kbps (yup, you're reading this right) downstream on my 4G Atrix. When I tried after 7 p.m. local time the speeds improved to between 1.2mbps to 3mbps. So, at the moment, the Netflix app is playing pretty smoothly on my Atrix.
This is my work phone (paid for by work) and I traded in my iPhone 4 for it because it's an android phone (friendly to rooting/customizing) and it's got the two things I've been waiting for in a new android phone (dual-core AND 4G). All in all I'm pretty happy with the phone (wish the screen was bigger) but really unhappy with AT&T's network.
My personal phone is a Droid X on Verizon Wireless which I've had since the midnight launch about a year ago and I've enjoy it rooted and on the Verizon's dependable network - I love this phone. But time moves on and they are about to release the Droid Bionic which is the first dual-core/4G phone on Verizon. I think it drops in a month and I'll be waiting in line to get it.

Is Qik preinstalled on SII ?

Today Samsung Apps prompted me to update Qik. Is Qik preinstalled on SII cause i certainly didn't install it and i don't have it in my apps. The annoying thing is i can't get rid of the message unless i update/install it

Qik comes pre-installed on a lot of phones in the U.S. Whoever you're video-calling has to have Qik also. I'm guessing in Europe Qik would be a waste. It doesn't do anything that Skype (with video) doesn't do too. Microsoft also just bought them so I'd imagine it'll get absorbed in to Skype anyway.

Well, if it's preinstalled, it is very well hidden. I can't seem to find any app that could be Qik on my device, besides Android Market doesn't see it as installed either. I use Tango or Viber for wi-fi calls anyway. I just wanna get rid of the annoying message

I got a message to update it as well. Any ideas where it is located on the phone.
