Qik with working video chat - G Tablet Themes and Apps

Here is a copy of QIK that works with video chat for the Viewsonic G Tablet
This apk was taken from from Samsung Galaxy Tab by Rothnic -- it is version 0.4.04.
I have tested this on the G Tablet use CM6.1 beta 4
I tested it with the qik that is on my evo.. the video quality had a lot to be desired.. the video quality that is broadcast over the net onto the phone looked good.. the video from the phone to the tablet looked way too zoomed.. it had a lot of artifacts.. looked like a really bad bootleg cam release
Anyhow.. thanks rothnic for the rip.. happy to have something to play with / add to my collection of working apps.
http://www.rickstoyroom.com/r2/Qik-gtab-videochat.apk ** Right click > Save as

It saves as a .zip file for me. Do I just rename it .apk??
Newbie to the G-Pad

Saved as Qik-gtab-videochat.apk for me so maybe try to download it again..

Link dead.

Does this work with the new tegra driver update? The built-in cam app no longer works so I'm guessing Qik won't get camera to work either.

I was able to get Yahoo Messenger Video Calling to work, but it's not consistent at all.
Using CM6.1B4, and restored the Yahoo app and Video add on from a Titanium Backup from my Evo.
If anybody gets this working, please let me know what tweaks you used to do it.
THANKS!
Krissy

I want to download this but the link is STILL dead.

Link works fine.. its sitting on my personal web server.. so I know for a fact that it is up.

Link works, but .zip and not .apk. No .apk inside either...

Downloaded and installed direct from my gtab (TnT Lite). Zero issue. Thanks for the upload!

Worked first try for me. Thanks

I played around with this a few weeks ago. How are you "video" chatting? I only saw the ability to send a video to your "qik" web page for others to watch and at that it had a 10-20 second delay.

I think you are using a different version of Qik. There are several versions out and you need to have the one from the Galaxy tab to have the video chat working.

What is the version #? I have 1.6. 1.89, and 2.60

downlowded from your link. Thanks.. working now
But, you can only video chat with someone who has qik on their "front facing camera" phone? You can not chat with another gtablet user on wifi correct?

You can video chat with anyone with Qik installed and a front facing camera. Doesn't matter if it is on wifi or not. I used Qik to chat with my wife from my gtab to her gtab. It sucked. Very unstable. Nothing like Skype from laptop to laptop.

The link isn't dead... scroll to the top and click the link to the right of "View Full version"...

Stupid work thinks the link points to a *games* site and won't let me download. Probably because the URL has toy in it.

I'm getting FC running Vegan Ginger CM&7

Upload video to youtube from your pocket pc (if you can send email)

Hey,
If you guys want an easy way of sending a video to youtube, check out http://tubeseries.net/welcome.aspx
Once you register, you can get an email address you send videos to. Once a video is sent, the site will upload it to youtube for you, using the subject of the email as the title and the body as the description.
Once uploaded, you get back an email giving you the link to the newly updated video.
This is still alpha!!! My suggestion to you is to create a secondary youtube account to use this with.
I just use Qik. It allows live streaming from your phone as well, and automatic posting to many different video serving sites, including youtube.
I use qik too for certain things.
The problem is that you get much worse fps with qik because it does everything online. It also takes longer to set up and requires a better connection where as here you can take the videos even when there's no connection and fire-and-forget them via email.
I think monx®, is trying to port that function from the Touch HD or MAX4G into his ROM.
You should be able to upload both to Facebook and youtube.
I don't think that the function is up and running just yet, bu follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451748
This is pretty cool, but already exists standard with Youtube accounts.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/account#mobile/profile and it will give you an email address to send to that auto uploads. I've been using this for a while and it works pretty well.
But I also second the Qik recommendation - I've been really impressed with the ease of use and the quality of live streaming, not to mention the immediate upload ability. Really, really cool.
Plus, you can autosyndicate to Facebook through both Qik and Youtube.
i use shozu: http://www.shozu.com/portal/tour.do?operation=where
when you take a pic or video, you can either choose to auto upload it or have a dialog come up asking you if you want to upload it to many sites...
Oh, yes it works. You use HTC Album to select whet to upload, tested .

[Q] send video

How can i send a large video file in good quality without using youtube or email? i tried QIK but people dont get it. Is there a rom i should use to send or a program that will send the video or a link to the video in a text message and they can go to website and view video with the same quality i took it in?
Use Dropbox to upload.
thanks i will try that
this worked perfect thanks. some blackberry users get unsupported format but other than that worked perfect.
question
Since i started using dropbox i got other people to sign up. my wife has a samsung vibrant and she uploaded a video and sent me a link through sms i use handcent. when i click on link the browser opens then closes. if i restart phone a video player will popup and will say loading then it will say video cant be played. when i send her a video it downloads to her phone. is it my phone, the video format im using etc etc?

New Vid Chat app...Android to PC enabled

I just read about this app. I can't find it in the market though the article said it should be available. I thought I'd share.

tried it on the Tab (VegaN ROM) and wouldn't open. Doesn't mean that there's another way to load it. I'll keep trying as i'd love a good vid chat app.
Wouldn't open on my Hero either.
Bump...
I've tried ooVoo as well but it closes as fast as it opens. I find it hard to believe that there is no real, workable video chat option. I've unsuccessfully tried:
ooVoo
Yahoo Messenger w/ Video add on
Qik
Fring
I'm in the middle of talking my in-laws in PA in to getting a gTab but it's less justified w/o the video chat option. Has anyone tried other solutions?
I agree... I haven't found anything that works like Skype does on the computer. We used to use Skype on the Laptops a lot for video chats with family and when I am away from home on work. I was really hoping I could find a decent solution for the tablets, but nothing really works well. I thought Qik might have been the answer, but that doesn't work well either.

Qik works.. I have qik working on mine right now.. used it to chat between my cell and my tablet.
So does Yahoo Messenger w/ Video. I have it running on the TnT Lite 3.0.0 build right now.

Have you tried Tango?
Tango won't install for me on TnT Lite 3.0 or the previous version.
Yahoo Messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam is sideways.
Ditto, and bump.
Running Vegan Beta 4. I can get Yahoo to work, but my video is sideways. Anyone know of a fix?
AFAIK, there is no fix for the sideways video. Qik and Yahoo runs on my tablet, but the video does not consistently run and connect. I need something that works like skype does on a laptop. Good audio, high quality video and works everytime. I travel for work weekly and spend nights out of the house. When we had the laptop we would use skype every night. Now with the tablets, there is no solution. Kinda sucks to keep a laptop around just for skype use. Oh well... bleeding edge.
Anyone tried Yahoo messenger, android-to-android? Does that have the sideways problem?
Jim
P.S. Installed on stock 3053.
Yes, Yahoo Messenger from G-Tab to G-Tab has the sideways video issue... when it works.
oovoo video chat software
I was able to get this program on vegan 7. Currently doing IMs and VOIP.the video chat is blocked out on the program and in the programs settings. I think with the growing number of gtab users we can figure this out. I am using this right now talking to wife on her PC.I will continue on solution but I'm just a rookie compared to some
Have you tried my ReelPortal software? It's proven to work on the G Tablet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613
It works with Android/PC/Linux/Mac, etc. The interface is a bit clunky. So I'm working on changing that at the moment.

[Q] youtube link

When you go to Youtube directly from your browser it pulls up the mobile version m.youtube.com
When you click a link through facebook- it takes you to the main site which does not work on the HD7 due to no flash.
its because facebook links to the desktop (www.) version of youtube, the youtube app adds support for the mobile (m.) version, when you click the facebook link you get directed to the desktop version as the app doesn't catch the link and redirect you to the mobile site.
You have to have both versions of the YouTube app installed. The version that came with the phone is what it tries to launch via links. The HTC version plays nicer quality vids.
So, I use the HTC version when I'm manually surfing YouTube, and the stock one installed so it will launch when I click a link.

except as pointed out by aaronhope1972 and myself the link catch doesn't work from 3rd party apps, which is what the OP was asking about. Personally I just wish they'd get flash ported and we'd not have this problem
Wow, had never tried that and just did.
Sucks.
Interestingly the People Hub Facebook integration part directs to m.youtube, which will subsequently work.
Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. Its a pity about that.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.
