Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great
Force closes for me

I got it to work. Can't be on wifi.
I know there are threads on tasker, but i have to say, this is one sick app.
all you have to do is send sms with secret word from any phone and Tasker will enable wifi, gps, and send back a link to google maps with phone location.
That is amazing, but...
Pity the GPS, Compass and Google Maps implementation is completely ****ing broken!
I would definitely love to use this when (or if) the locational services ever do function. Thanks for the heads up -- I had no idea this existed.
There are multiple apps like "Where's my droid" that do this as well.

Maybe, but tasker does thousand other things. For me gps works fine, but there is a problem with compass

If its not too long, would you mind posting your contexts and tasks to achieve just that exact same you just described? I'm trying to get better with the program although at a very slow pace
Thanks a lot mate!

Yeah i was interested in how you did it as well. I am just learning this tasker app and it doesnt seem that you can import and export tasks easily.

you can find it here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
the guy is using GPS only, but its pretty straight forward to include WIFI in this as well (WIFI is for better location without GPS). The time to wait for GPS to get a lock is up to you, I have 1 min.
and as you can see there is a profile there if you wish to lock you phone with SMS and/or play sound. (havent tried that)
For now I have these tasks: 1. If power ON, screen timeout is set to 45 sec (from 15), and lockguard is disabled 2. from 7:30pm to 8am screen brightness set to min and to AUTO other times. 3 Created a widget for "Vibrate" and "Bluetooth" since Vibrant is missing easy access to those functions (in a nice menu widget to save space). 4. I have several tasks killed at boot since they are useless anyway. (for this need to insert WAIT command with whatever time needed since some tasks start after the phone boots)
Thanks a lot for that link! Was able to create my own widget too now!

Read that Lookout drains battery, one of the features of Tasker is to actually save battery.

Any idea how to get this installed? I don't have it showing on my phone. Also, it shows it is only available in Germany and the UK. Do you have a work around to allow it to work anywhere?

I've seen a few threads on this but no solid answers so far....
Yahoo IM has a video call plug-in but it only utilizes the back side camera and is pretty spotty @ best and Skype doesn't seem to work at all...
Does anyone have a suggestion for an app that will do this?
There isn't a good way to do this right now. Hopefully Skype will add video chat like they did with the iPhone. But I wouldn't hold my breath that it will come anytime soon.
oovoo works. last version I tested had the tab users view of himself sideways but it did work.
note it also required latest version of oovoo on the pc

Yes oovoo is by far the best one out there to date but like you said the front facing camera orientation is 90 deg. off and unusable....

I have used Yahoo IM and i was able to use the front facing camera. Here is the only problem i have found. It will not work between a PC and the tab. I was able to use it to talk from the tab to an iphone w/ no problems.
You can use yahoo to video chat between the tab and any mobile device and between the tab and a windows pc.

He's right...you can't. You can see the PC person on the Tab but they can't see you. The video never initializes and the PC app reports that there is no video. Both ends can hear each other, though.
cant belive no one has said Fring, i use it to video call my gf and she has a iphone, quality is great.

That would be because Fring does not have a PC client as per the OPs request!

No he isn't right as I have done this and was able to see myself in both screens. Not sure why you don't believe me if I have to make a video to prove it I will. YM w/ video will work w/ the tab.
Oovoo works great...
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
tried oovoo for the first time tonight, it worked great except for one glaring issue.
The app defaults to the landscape orientation, this causes the image captured from the camera to be sideways.
If i rotate the tab to portrait, the image I send is correct, but the image i'm receiving is sideways.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Yep, oovoo works but is rotated 90 degrees off. I'm sure it's something on their list of things to fix.
Regarding Yahoo messenger, it's not true that it does video with the tab... until now it still does not work. I've tried with some experimental beta versions and could make it partially work but far from being usable.

I have no problem. Working in portrait mode and everything is fine. Oovoo still the onliest app doing video chat tab pc. A shame that other apps are not further developed to suport this.
Before I buy galaxy tab, can you use Yahoo messenger or skype to do video chatting?
I am always spending my time talking to my family on weekend talking using video conference using yahoo messenger and skype on my laptop
I normally ignore this but for the sake of this forum, do u know how to search?
If u dunno, u should take at least 5 min to view few paged as this question was repeated few days ago

Here I will answer it. You can video chat w/ yahoo from the tab to any other mobile device and to a windows pc. It will not work w/ a Mac yet.
Thanks for the replied, now I'l buy this tab next weekend. BTW is the cam quality good on video chatting?
I am still looking for an app that will do a video chat between my Tab and a PC.
I've tried Yahoo, Skype, oovoo and 2 others that I can't remember off the top of my head... NONE of them work.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Not for sure why yahoo didn't work cause I used a Mac w/ a windows vm installed and the video chat worked just fine between the tab and the computer. Did you install the video plugin for yahoo.

To legally use skype you have to have verizon network (can someone fact-check that?) or the app won't install.
The front camera of the tab is 1.3 mega pixels. It is adequate for the task. There is some microphone button issue - you use it like a walkie talkie, or art last you have to remember to push it sometimes. Can you please post back here your results?
I wouldn't see why skype would just limit themselves to vzw network. I will try and install skype tomorrow on my sprint tab.

I was mistaken - I downloaded skype from the market, and installed, then set up an account. But it only calls over wifi, not 3g. And you have to pay. I want to learn about voip.
That is because skype has not released a version w/ video chat for android.

Those of us with non-stock roms don't have Qik.
Tango in the market works great. My friend installed it on his ipod touch and we were able to have a video conference without issue. I was on 3G he was on wifi.

FYI - Skype calls work fine over 3G on a Euro Tab on Euro networks. If it is not working over 3G for you it is probably being blocked by your carrier.
O/T though as Skype doesn't support video calling on Android as yet.

..going back to the title of the thread, where the heck is video chatting?I installed the latest YM and the imVideo plugins but the video chat option is nowhere to be found. Apparently you can make a Video call (i tried it, it used the rear facing camera, was able to "connect" (i got this call timer thing go up) but then neither of us could hear anything over the line. This was thru 3G by the way, calling a PC.
Where indeed is video chat?
Video calling between tab and pc is working via oovoo. Install the latest oovoo for your pc and the oovoo app from the market. The screen orientation has been fixed.

I use oovoo and it has worked the best. Ive tried as many apps I could find. Oovoo works from app to app, app to pc, android to iphone, all for free unless you want to do conference calls; then you need to pay. 1 to 1 is free.

Nope! Oovoo doesn't work correctly. The orientation of the forward facing cam is 90 degrees out and there's no config to reorient it.
Short answer is Yahoo Messenger works, like crap. Oovoo works as well, with issues.. All of the other video chat (handset->pc and handset->handset) programs I've used suck, wifi, 4g no matter. I've tried on my HTC EVO, MyTouch4g and Galaxy Tab with most of the free ones available. Qik's quality is not very good at all but it tends to work between tablet and phone.
The galaxy tab's front facing camera is nice and clear though for it's purposes. You will probably find yourself in better luck using your headset as well.
Also, i'm not really sure if it was installed with cm7 or not but the t-mobile version of Qik is installed on the mytouch4g, seems to work as well as it did with the stock rom.

Gingerblur deletes the Moto messaging app and replaces it with the stock android one. The two ways to get back to bubbles that I know of are to go into the .zip bloatware file and find what you're looking for, or you can download a third party messaging app (I recommend Handcent) that will do it for you.
That's great app, thanks.
Go SMS Plus is a great alternative as well.
