video chatting

What is the best app for video chatting form my gtab running TnT lite lastest. My wife uses Win-win on her laptop. Are there any that are stand alone no need for an internet connection just a home network.

Not exactly answering your question I'm afraid, but Yahoo messenger works for me for video chat between my wife's laptop and my G tab (or is that the other way around?)!

Could you please give your version of Yahoo Messenger + Video plugin
My version force close.
Thanks.

Under "About Messenger", it says version 1.3.1.4583
I don't know how to find info about the video plugin?

Could you attach apk for both please?

I am not able to find Yahoo messenger in the market. I did find a Y! Suites app an installed it it had a link for messenger when I clicked on it I was prompted to login so I did. I was then shown a offer to install yahoo messenger for Android, I click on it and get a,message that the protocol is not supported.

That is Odd. I was able to install Messenger 2 weeks ago on my GTab and now the market is showing the same results as you. No Messenger available to download.
I did find that it can be searched for from the PC web page, but mine shows installed already. Can't verify if it still be sent to GTAb or not. Might want to try that route.

Glad, I am not the only one having the app not found issue. Thought I was having problems with the market. I have had problems finding other apps that have been mentioned in the GTablet forum.
Anybody have a solution or a better suggestion as to which app to use that will allow me and my wife and kids video chat. Would really like to find an app that would allow this while not necessarily connected to the internet but still connected to a wifi home network.

As far as I know, there is software that allows video conferencing, but I highly doubt that they have been ported to google apps. I know most of those out there are meant for corporate use.
but there is a simple solution to video over your home wifi. move your location so you are in close proximity to your wife and talk to her....lol.
All joking aside I wish I could help you, but until someone creates an app that allows video over private wifi, your kinda stuck.
But I can confirm that yahoo video does work.

I thought thier is a new Skype release just out.

It's possible to run my ReelPortal app within your own network, because the server software is also available for free. However, there's a catch, when you first start the ReelPortal app, it needs internet access to retrieve data to start up. After that, you can unplug the internet, and it would work fine. Another catch is P2P mode would not work without internet access, because P2P actually relies on an Adobe server. But within your own network, Client-Server mode would be fine, because you'd be using your own server.
ReelPortal is designed to run indefinitely, so unless you exit the app, you don't need to reconnect the internet. When set up properly, it can serve as a video intercom within your home/office.
A brief description of ReelPortal: http://reelportal.blogspot.com/p/read-me.html
If you're interested, here's a long thread on using it with the gTab:

This thread, with confirmation from a Skype staff member, seems to say that it IS coming for Android but will be locked to a carrier - Verizon. Not sure what this means in terms of XDA being able to hack it for other devices, but there you have it.

Of course. It seems like everything is going the way of the AT&T/iPhone. "No one else can have it." That's crap.

Yes you can, once you've linked an album you can right click on the cover-art and copy it. This can then be pasted into the zune software.

I am subscribing to this thread so please ask me any questions you have about ZST here.

Yo could you make you Installer NOT install it CURRENT USER
I don't run with admin rights
i install your app
it's sitting in my admin account start menu not all users
also means it looks at zune library under said admin account, which is empty
Cheers

thanks for this program.
Is there any chance for support for .m4a files in the future?

Unlikely, but not impossible. Don't hold out.

I find that while I can link albums with no issue, I can never seem to be able to un-link them. Even after un-linking and refreshing, even re-scanning, the album is still linked to something that I have unlinked it from.
Any way to resolve this?
Also, thanks for the app. I have found it to be very useful and have been using it for quite a while now. =]

The problem is the zune software doesn't want to work how ZST is trying to make it work, so quite often you get problems where things don't update how you would expect.
The number one fix for problems like this, and this goes for linking too, is to turn off ‘Automatically retrieve and update album art and metadata.’ in the zune settings. See the FAQ: https://github.com/leetreveil/Zune-Social-Tagger/wiki/FAQ

What if I already have that disabled? I always manage my own tags and I have that feature disabled so Zune doesn't touch a thing.
What else could prevent it from un-linking?

Im a new Windows Phone owner for about a week now. Loving it. Zune Social Tagger is great but what about people that dont listen to mainstream music and not in the Zune database? I think there should be the option to use your own artist background and album cover. Half the time my album cover is of better quality then the one provided from the database and it gets replaced with Zunes copy. There is a program for the ZuneHD that lets you use your own. Maybe for your next release to include this feature.
Thanks.

Thanks. I know about the tool your mentioning and I don't wish to include something like that with ZST.
Been working on .m4a (mp4) support and a few other things. Expect a release in 1/2 weeks!

Even with disabling automatic metadata, no luck here, always getting a zero album found. And don't tell me it won't find the latest Jamiroquai, it's in the zune DB!

Can you find the album you're looking for in the zune marketplace via the zune software?
Also which country are you from?

Music Beta by Google: A Must Read For All Root Users!

The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...

I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!

i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

It also happens when corporate syncing in Microsoft outlook. I have to delete phones and tablets after I root them a couple times.

Ah that's also good to know. It seems like these kind of services you'd have to watch if you are rooted, just so you won't have any future problems.

Sorry, I cant find the settings in the google music section on the web page. Do you mind explaining where it is? Sorry if this sounds like a noob question.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.

Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.

Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!

Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.

Pandora app

I haven't seen this talked about on here. Justin Angel has created a .xap that streams pandora and acutally works very well. The only thing it doesn't do is run in the background and show the now playing media on the lockscreen. If he could get that working, it would be amazing.
http://twitter.com/#!/JustinAngel/status/123225742199881729

Ahh crap. When the screen goes off it kills the music too. Any tricks to keep that from happening?

Is he Willing to share the source code? ... oh and on a user note, he has his email and password for his Pandora account hard coded

Doesnt Work
It opens up the login screen and after that nothing happens. Anything Missed ?

Word is that he is working on an SDK for it. He tweets about it on his twitter account. I can't wait for this. It's been a long time coming.

Justin has released this for developers:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=PandoraSDK#suggestedAPI
As well as this milestone chart:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/

Installed this on Mango and it opens to the screen were I insert my pandora credentials, then when hitting enter it kicks me out.... .Anyone else have this issue?
thanks

I had a word with Justin on Twitter. He is finalizing the SDK and then head over to make a new App so till then sit tight

will it also work in the countries where pandora doesn't?

It‘s good！Thank you！

crashed at login
crashed at login for me as well.

No. It will check to make sure you are not in a location that is "geo-fenced."

So very new to the whole wp7 thing. How does one download it? Says it is not supported file to download?

MetroRadio
MetroRadio was released on Market but then pulled after only 2 days. This was the first pandora 3rd party app that was built off Justin Angel's SDK (Provided here). I flashed a new rom and know can't find this xap anywhere. Does anyone know where to get it?
Thanks!

Question Shazam not working

Hello folks,
not being able to use Shazam still is a bummer for me.
Always the same thing:
install Shazam, grant it every possible right, works for 2-3 songs (doesn't matter if widget or normal Shazam icon), stops recognizing any song
I kind of adopted to an app called "beat find", which is way slower and has a smaller database but keeps working
Anyone having that Shazam problem too?

I can confirm that Shazam stops working once I close and relaunch it. Works fine on first launch as long as I don't close it. I'm also interested in a solution.

You mean with "close it" killing it from recents? Because I have tried different ways now but doesn't matter what i do it works.

Wasn't aware of the issue as I had only used it once on this device, so thank you for raising awareness. You may have better luck with SoundHound (aka Midomi). I've used this one a ton in the past. Unfortunately it does have adverts unless you buy ad-free for £5

Thx a lot. Just switched to SoundHound and it is working perfectly. The 5,x€ are worth it for me.
Just the widget is not a 1x1 small widget und I have found no way in the settings to automatically start the search for songs once I click on the app icon (widget does search instantly by clicking on it)

I also have problems with Shazam, to make it work again, I have to clear Data and Cache.

@kitzblitz yeah I don't really get why they couldn't include a 1x1 widget also. Anyway make sure to enable the 'startup' (not 'autostart') permission for Spotify if you want Spotify integration to work inside SoundHound.
@PILLS2389 yep that's the exact behaviour I'm seeing. SoundHound seems to be a decent alternative for now
Please report back if you ever find a solution

Shazam also didn't work on mine. SoundHound is a very bit as good though!
