Video chat-Google?

Has anyone been able to do video chat via Google's Chat? I seem unable to do so, and I cannot find Talk in the Market ...although I don't know if it would support video on this tablet or not.

Used it earlier today to talk with my brother in mexico, it worked exceedingly well.
iirc, it comes already installed.

Its a native google app, not a market app.
I couldnt get it to work intially but it turns out its tied to my google apps account for some reason. Once i signed out of the apps account and signed in with a regular gmail account it worked beautifully chatting with my girlfriend over 4g tethering on my Evo. I cant wait until someone gets 2.3.4 working on the Evo so we can have the android phone/chat functionality.

i've used it chatting with my wife, works well.

Argh...I thought I looked for Talk on it and didn't find it, but alas, it is there. ( I had to install it from market on my phone, so assumed I had to do the same thing here).
Sounds good. I presume this does work with Google Chat...so if someone is on their PC and Browser (not signed into Talk) it would work. Seems to me like at some point I had to join a Talk account with Google.
Thanks folks.

for tablet to pc video chat, the person on the pc needs to be in the browser (like a gmail window) and have the video plugin installed.

I use it with my Google Apps account no problem.
The sound quality from the other side isn't great... I don't know if Talk is crap, the other computer is crap, or the speakers on the TF are crap...
Nice to have video chat though, I just wish Samsung would release 2.3.4 for Galaxy S II

I was experimenting with this earlier today with a coworker that has an iphone 4g. I think vtok nuked some of the video quality but it worked.

[Q] Safe to freeze apps?

Anyone have a detailed list of apps that are safe to freeze on the i337? I keep finding myself questioning whether an app is safe to freeze and then ultimately do not freeze it because I don't want to brick my phone without recovery options. TIA

It depends what you freeze. but i think the OTA updates and ect should be fine.

^ thanks for the list.

Awesome! Thank you! Can't wait till we have this BL unlocked and get some great ROMs. Haven't used a stockish phone in years

Thanks for the list...very helpful.
Maybe this is obvious to others, but I'd like to point out that Bluetooth share is needed for Bluetooth to work, at least it is for me. I recently upgraded to 4.3 MK2 and rooted using saferoot. I froze most of these apps using Titanium Backup, but noticed my Bluetooth wouldn't turn on. I un-froze Bluetooth share, now it works fine.

[Q] New Hangouts App

Has anybody had their talk update into hangouts yet? It's listed in play store but it doesn't have an update button because it's a system app.

"NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!" - From Google
Answered my own question

I got it yesterday automatically.

Safe to freeze/uninstall apps

I have searched for a list of apps that are safe to freeze or uninstall. I would hate to uninstall the AT&T bloatware and it have some crazy dependency attached to it.

Of course, if you remove all of this you will lose some of the built-in functionality, but it will not hurt anything in place. If you notice after doing this that a certain setting no longer works, I think it's pretty self-explanatory which ones correlate with which settings (e.g. if you turn off QuickMemo+, QuickMemo won't work anymore). This is why I recommend freezing them with TiBU instead of fully removing them. Also, if you fully remove them you can't get an official OTA Update.

Just tried to run this script on the 1.80.651.10 version of the Sprint software and all apps are still present on reboot. Any ideas how to check what's going on?
