[Q] Has anyone gotten phone-to-phone gtalk video chat working? - Epic 4G General

I have never gotten this to work on any GB leak (anonymousROM i3 and currently RandomROM Osprey). Phone<->PC allows me to connect to a video chat but the person on the other end doesn't see/hear me. If I try phone<->phone I can't even initiate a chat if the other user is on GB.
Any ideas?

The new acs GB rom has it

Yeah I can see the video chat icon for PC users but not phone users. Is it confirmed working, or just in there without being tested?

I tried all of the GChat w/ Video fixes I could find and nothing works. I can video chat with a PC user but they do not get any video, nor can I switch to the front camera.

I've never(as long as we've had gb) had a problem using gtalk for video chatting.....

Hmm really? I have never gotten it working. I even tried chatting with myself (2 gmail accounts, one on phone one on PC) and I couldn't get video. I've never been able to get it working

Oh I've never used it phone to pc, just phone to phone

In that case, neither phone could initiate a video chat. Just showed voice chat. I tried it with a friend of mine.

Haven't tried phone to PC, but like others Android to Android works. Actually, let me clarify - GB to HC work, my brother has a Xoom (the jerk).

Hmm I just tried it at home on my personal laptop (was at work earlier) .. I can receive video from my laptop but I cannot use the front camera on my phone nor do I see anything but my GChat avatar on my laptop. Any ideas?

FYI just flashed ACS Go Green ROM and I still have the same exact issue: no front facing camera and absolutely no video streamed outbound from the phone.

I dont know if youve tried this yet but here's a link to a g-talk app in the quote from the thread linked under the quote.....

Hmmm this is strange..... have you tried it on a stock rooted rom? Sometimes a tweak in a custom rom can break another fix that usually works I don't know.what else it could be :/

i have had no succses withbl google... every other(qik.tango) one i tried worked fine...

I think this is one of the reasons why we don't have GingerBread yet, because the front facing camera needs tweaking in code for Google Video Chat. If it doesn't work on leaked GB versions, you might as well forget about it until GB is officially released, or a newer leak.

Is GB just around the corner?

We've been getting so many GB roms this month! It's amazing, don't you think we're close to a fully functional ROM thats GB with good battery life, GPS (im kind of thinking i shouldn't have put GPS)
but i think its right around the corner! what about you guys?
I mean if you look at our Dev section on Page 1, there probably about 5+ GB roms...
We'll have it soon!
Won't try any of those without GPS

It's in the works. Cmenard has fixed rainbows (proof). (He's a frackin' beast). White has all his magic done on it. I'm the only failure! I can't get the damn GPS to work.
So yeah, that's all we're missing. Vibrant uses a different GPS binary to communicate with the hardware versus other phones like I9K and Cappy (we're the ONLY phone that does this, BS right?). I've been working with cmenard to even build a custom kernel to call that binary just like the 2.2 ROMs and still nothing. I think I'm either missing something extremely simple, or it's not possible. Eugene is smarter than me so hopefully he figured something out.

I came back to Trigger.
Trigger's the only rom on my External SD, incase anything happens to my phone, i still have TRIGGER!

Thought so, well, I read that thread before and in there Eugene didn't EVER say that he had a working GPS. What he said was that fixing it wasn't that hard and mentioned the files.
But I guess people love to stare on a bright side that doesn't even exist.

As far as I remember, mostly licensing issues. While Netflix has always wanted to many an android app, various restrictions from content partners wouldn't allow it without proper protection, drm, etc...
Though if the app is this easy to get working... I have no idea whats changed is the real question... Since I mean, it doesn't seem all that secure...

No it doesn't actually, my thinking is why are they restricting it to certain phones with the impression that it won't work on any other phones? The average joe is going to think it won't work on their particular phone because it won't ever get on their "List". of course I may be totally wrong and all of a sudden they do a blanket across the board release lol.
SWEET
ok I got it to work. Used the no detect APK version. Make sure to have it installed on the SD. Just got a black screen when it was installed internally.
Works great!

I think it sucks. The biggest thing in Gingerbread is sip calling which has been taken out. All they did was add pretty animations. HUGE disappointment

OK, so I just installed it and it worked like a charm! It runs beautifully and it is quite a bit more responsive in my opinion. I'm going to begin testing everything I can. Running the hell out of it lol.
EDIT: OK, so far I have only one complaint. The hard buttons at the bottom of the phone are now insanely bright. It isn't a serious problem, but it is definitely a significant difference that I would like to see options for.
The buttons have been overly bright on all of the Gingerbread leaks, and unfortunately they still don't work quite right, even on the OTA version. They turn off and never come back on. That's my only complaint about Gingerbread. Other than that, it's fast, smooth, and looks great. I looked at an Xperia Play today with more or less stock Gingerbread, and I have to say, it was kind of ugly compared to Gingerblur, in my opinion.
Gingerbread
So far it hasn't been too bad, but I am waiting on a ROM based off of .596.
Anyone have a link to this that is not downloading at like 10KBps or have the direct google server address? If I can ever get this stupid thing to finish downloading I am thinking of mirroring it on something that doesn't the stupid ad-bloated crap. Just going to throw it up on a directory on my web server.
OK finally got it downloaded will install it and see how it runs a bit before uploading the image.
I updated my droid x to the stock version of gingerbread last night. With the exception of a few totally unrelated incidents, it seems to be working great. Gingerbread seems to be snappy and the new ui tweaks are mostly welcome. I have not noticed a big difference between 595 & 596. Thanks to black hat team for their hard work.
They got rid of the 'Paste from Clipboard' option ...I used tthat a lot in Froyo. Does anyone know.a way to get that available?

I know this isn't directly related to the epic but thought I would share it. My friend at school has Motorola Droid, the original one, with Netflix and streaming works. I asked him how he got it cause he's not rooted and he said its on the market. Its not on mine though :-( what up with that?

I think I remember reading it has something to do with the optimization of the hummingbird processors. Something is fixed in Gingerbread which is why it can stream on EF02 but not on EC05. Simple solution if you want netflix is to flash one of the EF02 roms like i3. I prefer the speed and battery of Frozen 1.2 though. Can't wait till we get our official GB update. I am excited to see what ACS can do with that source code.
+1 to Imann. It has to do with our processors and 2.2. It works perfectly on 2.3 for our Epics though.
I'm on the ef02 leak anyway so it doesn't really matter to me, I just thought that it wouldn't work on froyo period. Thanks for the info guys.

Got my false hopes up. :-( This is the #1 thing I want official GB for.

[Q] Does EI22 have video chat through Gtalk?

I've got official GB running on my phone, but I'm not sure if video chat is part of the this version of Gtalk. We're running 2.3.5 so I thought that it would have it since that was added in 2.3.4. Thanks in advance for any insight that you guys can offer.

Wow... that is just inexcusable considering how late the Epic got Gingerbread...especially being one of the 1st phones that had a FFC to begin with....
Just add the zip shinnydude posted awhile back. Also, ACS ICS EI22 has it baked in the rom.
Weird if the rom is 2.3.5 than it should work because you need 2.3.4 or higher I believe.
