Qik with working video chat

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.

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!

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.

That happens sometimes, just rename to apk.

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.

I couldn't find it in the market on my GTab, but found it on my phone. I'll try side loading it tomorrow. Good find. Thanks for sharing.

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:

It works with Android/PC/Linux/Mac, etc. The interface is a bit clunky. So I'm working on changing that at the moment.

I hope someone can help, when I am on facebook and click on a youtube link i get an error saying this file type is not supported. I can view youtube videos fine when I am on the website, has anyone come across this before?

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.

If they'd only actually open a real dialogue with users about what we need from the phones

[Q] Skype working for anyone?

I installed Skype from the market but when I tried to test it with a friend I didn't have a video option...Anyone has this working?

No video option in Skype as of now. Google Talk works with Google website. Or between iOs you can use Fring. Available in market
