[Q] Tango video chat

Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.

I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...

Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways

I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.

I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.

just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.

Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.

I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.

a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..

Qik Video Chat Working on Gtab VEGAn-TAB GE RC1

Always looking for a video chat client that works.
Audio and video live chat working on VEGAn-TAB GE RC1
Video quality set to high: is a little grainy at times, but usable.
Original Post
Link: Qik that works on CM7/Gingerbread 2.3.X

have you been able to get it to work with the "new version is now available" message? I downloaded the APK from that thread and it's not letting me get past that screen - but can't find the "new version" in the market

I am running CM7 nightly and I tried it but it would force close because in settings it is set to record from the back camera which the gtablet does not have.

So this won't work on vegan rom? Froyo?

not sure..I think it worked before when i was not running cm7.

Any updates about this ?
Can't find it on my the market (CM7).
Market on my PC says that Gtab isn't compatible.
Is there any additional market fixes we need to do ?!

Works here on calkulin froyo. Good thing is it now supports android to iphone video chat.
Tango works as well, they're both pretty similar.

Works fine for me. I called my iPhone and had no problem. It seems though as it defaults each time to a missing camera. Just hit the camera swap button and then the video of myself pops up. That's the only annoyance but overall it works well. I can't record video to send as a message however. It comes up with the camera locked error. I can only do the 2way live chat but that's all I really need anyways. This works for now until they release a Skype app that works with the Gtab.

When you go to any menu that record video (compose a message, record .. etc), the screen with the side "red" record button, displays a message in the center screen (where the video from your camera is supposed to show up) "Camera Locked".
Switching between front/back camera doesn't make a difference.
Press the "record" button gives the following error:
"Failed to start recording. Maybe the audio/video recorder is occupied by another application"
Its worthy noting that I am running CM7 (nightly 60), and my camera application always crashes (with a force close message) whenever video recording is attempted.

Camera locked message for me too

[Q] HBO go

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.HBO&feature=search_result

great for people in the US.
Doesnt work for the rest of the world

Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.

I haven't tried it on my G2 yet, but I'm also getting the FC when trying to sign in on my GTab.

Fc on Vegan ginger, works great from website.

FC on Cyanogenmod 7.0.2.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.

Doesn't work with my cable company either.

If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2

Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

It works great on stock HTC Incredible (2.2) and Droid2. I don't think you need 2.3

Anybody find a solution for this yet?

I'd like to know as well, having the same issue.

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.

Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?

According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.

hbo cinimax go
Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser

HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).

VTok, New Gmail video chat app

The new chat with google without having to wait for 2.3.4. But on the Gtab both screens are turned sideways This is running on Vegan Ginger, someone else test on a different rom and let me know if you have any luck.

face tbe tablet down it will turn normal

Nice find, thanks!

Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, works great! Thanks for finding this!!

Maybe just me, but it may have kept the g tab from falling asleep.

I installed and when i log in it goes to a white screen and says contacts at the top of the screen. Im not quite sure what to do from there or if this is an error. Anyone have any input. Im running vegan ginger rc1. Thanks.

You have to have a contact that is available to do video chat in order to see the contact.
Still can't get it to work properly with Vegan Ginger.

I was able to get it to work, although i get the sideways screen issue -- still a better substitute than having nothing...much better quality that the yahoo messenger video chat

Working on Calk's ROM
I just got this up and running on my GTab running Calk's 1.1 ROM. The picture quality is very pixellated which I assume is because it hasn't been tablet optimized. I'm really just happy that I can actually use the camera for something, GTalk no less!

Wow, Nice find! installed on my gtab running vegan 5.1, made video calls to both my PC and Evo, worked great!
Justim

Running Vegan Ginger RC1 here. The video is rotated 90 degrees on both my end and the computer feed. If it works on Vegan 5.1, I think that's reason enough to switch back to it. This is the missing killer tablet app as far as I'm concerned.

apk?
I am running stock and do not have access to the market. Can someone post the apk please to see if it works on my stock gtab?

Downgraded to vegan 5.1 and she's running perfectly now. Great find guys!

For some reason, I have about a 5 second audio delay on mine. Running VegaN-Tab 5.1.1, another guy in our office also has a gtab running the same Rom. When we tried VTok on our internal wireless network we got the delay. Haven't tried it on any other system yet.
Anyone else seeing this behavior or have a suggestion for fixing it?

Anyone have this running well on a Gingerbread release?

I wouldn't try to get much of anything to work on a stock G-tab. You need to just go ahead and bite the bullet and install VegaN 5.1 at least. If you stick with the stock ROM you will ALWAYS have problems getting apps that everybody else gets with no problem. If you follow the instructions here at XDA you will get full market access too so there is no downside.
Vtok looks and sounds interesting, but the fact that none of my contacts show up (even though I know they have video set up) tells me that maybe everybody must have Vtok for it to work, like skype, tango, etc. ?

That isn't, or shouldn't be the case. I gave it a spin last night and was able to connect to someone on normal PC Laptop. The person you want to chat with has to be able to use video at that moment or they won't show up in this app. Not intended to be rude, just to give it a little highlight so other's don't miss it and ask the same things later.
I had the same VEGAn Gingerbread issue with the camera rotation, but i've seen that on pretty much every device i've used any video chat on that was geared to be landscape by default.
Video quality was very low, but i'll blame that one a bad internet connection till I have somewhere a little better to test with. Hopefully this is updated to work a little better in the future since it's the most widely usable option outside of Skype(which is still holding onto that video chat function from most of us) or Yahoo(plugin needed for Android), but Yahoo seems to only work for a minute or two before it pretty much destroys the stability of my tablet till I reboot... lol

This is a complete lie!!!
You can install Android Market on a stock firmware, and have access to all of the apps that a custom firmware has access to. Don't give advice if you don't know what you are talking about!
