The way it works is this. You put everyone you want to Hangout with in a Google Plus Messenger group. Then from that group you start a hangout. And people can join it as they want. However. Sense based OSs even the factory OS will rotate the image 90*. and there is no current fix.
thanks! didnt there used to be a separate app for huddles?
and it looks like my video is completely upside down and not just 90 degrees. skype recently implemented a screen flip option for their video calls, hopefully google will do the same soon. thanks again for your help!

After reading a post in the vanilla 2 forums about someone else having problems with mms...I got to thinking I wonder if mine still works with my wife's env3. Send a small video msg to my phone and low and behold, while I receieved the msg just fine...when it tried to play the video I'd see the first frame..then nothing. The progress bar would continue to run through but the video itself was not going, nor was the sound. I tried kaos v32, nonsensikal 5.4, celb 2.3, vanilla rom beta 2, tainted tenzo, ALLL of which had the SAME issue. While I had kaos installed I thought maybe its the messenger app so I tried chompsms...SAME exact issue. I DO have some videos on my sd card that play just fine. I changed the resolution that my wife's phone sends at still to no avail. ONLY thing I found that DID work is I installed xtrRom 4.0.6.1 and that DOES show the mms video properly. Any ideas? While I'm not knocking xtr but any chance...it'd be nice to know what the issue is and/or be able to use other roms.
The issue is specific to AOSP ROMs..
xtrROM has a vanilla feel but runs the stock HTC framework and messaging app. The HTC libraries and decoders are largely proprietary in my experience so they are not easy to just port over to AOSP...
Nice testing & feedback and I know tenzomonk is looking into it...

Yes this is not really an mms issue but more likely a video codec issue....do you know what file format the video messages are sent in? Although I would think the messages would be sent in 3gp if recorded on a cell phone so they really should play. Is there an option to save the video to the phone and then try to open it?
I was thinking it might be a format issue as well but they're 3gp format so should be able to play. Someone on irc did mention I could save the video and it might work but shouldn't this be able to be done by default? Hopefully someone can figure out a fix without having to save or install an additional app

I recently noticed that when I use Yahoo Messenger for a video call my front camera is no longer optional. It defaults to the rear camera and I don't have the option to flip it anymore, like I used to. I have a HW003 Evo and it used to work fine. I haven't tried using it for several months, so I don't know if one of the updates changed things or what. Are any of you having the same issue or do both cameras still work on your Evos??
Also, I recently started using the new leaked Gingerbread ROM, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. So if anybody else is using the leaked ROM please let me know if your yahoo video chat works for the front camera too.
Thanks!
think it's the gb rom. i'm still on froyo n it works fine.
Thanks for the response TweetyBear. I have a nandroid backup of a Froyo ROM on my SD, but I didn't want to go thru the trouble of restoring it if I was still going to have the same issue.
confirmed . android 2.3 not for yahoo messenger.
however, QIK has been upgraded . the only downside is no EVO-PC video chat

Yeah, thanks! Hopefully Yahoo will update to support 2.3 soon.
If you still cannot use the FFC in GB and you are rooted, you can apply my mod at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087769
I updated it to add FFC support on GBs.
^^ that works wonderfully!! thanks!
What are some of the apps that use front facing camera?
Gtalk does not use it?there is no y!messenger in the market either?
How do you guys use this?
gtalk works for me, but you could probably use fring for video chat
Google Talk uses the ffc just fine, in my experience.
how does one start the camera in talk?
I can see the camera icon against my name but I cannot seem init a video chat session. Am I missing something?

I tried Tango on my Viewsonic GTab and it FC'd something fierce. I assumed it had something to do with missing some of the phone components of Android and haven't tried it on the A500.
Anyone have a good experience with Tango?

if your contact has the camera icon on them it means they support it. And then you simply tap the video icon next to them and BAM, it works.
Works flawlessly and amazing too.
damn it, I have useless friends. No one with video capability!

GTalk does work, I have already had a video chat and it worked great. Have to play again but I think the rear cam works also.
Used GTalk with my netbook the other day and it worked great.

Sorry I made the suggestion for tango without actually testing it out. But to get tango to launch without closing you need to have the iconia in portrait with the rotation lock on. However since I do not have a mobile number for my tablet I don't think tango will work
Your friends probably just need to download the video chat add on for their PC or Mac http://www.google.com/chat/video
If you are trying to chat with someone that is using an android phone I believe video chat in google talk is only built in the newer versions of gingerbread

lol, thanks. I am going to have to try this camera thing out.
ok, checked it out, how the heck do you get the video chat working? It only gives me the option to send IM's
Your counterpart needs to install video and audio plugin for Gtalk. Just by clicking option for video call (from PC) it will pop up an install screen .

Gtalk PC does support video call ?
http://www.google.com/chat/video?hl=en
http://www.google.com/talk/
so far only web gtalk (so from gmail...) support it
and of course Gtalk Android support
The other person has to be in gmail to do video and if your contacts once they have the plugin there will then be the little video icon I tested the other day with my brother from my iconia using talk to his Acer laptop using gmail chat.. we tried using the Google talk program on his laptop but video option wasn't showing up?

Morning all....
Im having issues performing gtalk video calls with desktops, ive read somewhere that this is due to the 3.2 update? Is this right, if so is there any way to get it to work?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
im pretty sure it works in prime 1.9, wich is 3.2
Strange. I use quite frequently GTalk (video conf) and have no issues. The other party uses a PC so desktop. Apart from quite low audio quality originating from my side I can say all else works good.
edit: forgot to add that yes I'm on stock 3.2
Hmm how strange... i just installed Pauls HR9 rom so will see if its possible with that.
so where do you download this Gtalk?

It comes preinstalled with the transformer (called TALK). If not, then Google it
Don't think it's 3.2. Gtalk video chat works fine for me.
Make sure the PC has the video chat plug-in installed.
Hope that helps...
I use Gtalk on my Transformer and my LG G2x all the time with my GF back home (when I travel for work). We've used Tango in the past but it sucks compared to GTalk.
Her phone doesn't have a FFC so it was hard for her to video chat but she has a Netbook with a FFC so I set GTalk on there. I downloaded the Video Chat plugin but was still fishy.
The only way I could get it to work on her netbook was just simply have her sign in to Gmail, then it uses the Web GUI to initiate a video chat. Weird thing is that none of my devices show her as being Video Capable, so she's required to initiate the start of it (which is no big deal).
For what its worth, I use Revolver version 3.2 and whatever Custom Kernel is available in Revolver Parts.

What's the exact issue? Make sure you tap your name in top and mark yourself AVAILABLE FOR VIDEO AND VOICE CHAT. Otherwise you wont be able to voice/video chat.
install gtalk from the market. was having problems before with "Talk"
Hey guys,
i'm currently pretty tired of LG Stock (mostly of the Calling delay bug..) and i tried some other rom and i'm gonna use CM.
So, since its a simple a clean rom i'm missing some apps/features, but i know there are alternatives, but i dont know about which ones are good, because i cant test them all.
- A 360 Panorama camera (360 camera? good enough?)
- SmartStay (Intelligent display)
- QuickRemote - or at least an remote app, i tried a lot of them but didnt find a good one yet
- A good video editor
Thanks.
Quick remote works just fine, install the version in this section.

Calling delay bug?
I had the same thing happen to me. i uninstalled the GMail update and that bug stopped.
go to googe play store. find gmail, uninstall. it will only uninstall recent update. done.
then uncheck auto update on gmail.
The main thing I would miss is the really nice AccuWeather widget. Not seen one that is as nice anywhere...
