Just wondered if anyone's tried the latest Gapps with the leak from yesterday. Wanted to see the status of the new Gtalk with video it has since the leak is based on 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

I thought that the leaked update was 2.3.4 and had gtalk?
It is, but it doesn't have the Gtalk
With video.

It does work. What I had to do was find the flashable gtalk2.3.4 I tried all the other versions but nine supported video. I guess I could also dropbox it for you all

Good....the one thing is apparently you will appear sideways when using video chat. I noticed that I was sideways in the window, but thought it was ok on the other persons screen
It installed no problem, and I can confirm the orientation issue. Haven't had a chance to try an actual call yet, though. Hopefully I can give that a whirl tomorrow.

Does Skype work with the front facing camera for video chat? I'm thinking of getting the D3, but have heard mixed responses as to whether skype works...
There's no video option on my installed Skype app. Disappointed.

Theres many options besides skype.
Do tell.
How can my wife and I (both new D3 owner's) video chat with each other?
Thanks

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.
still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!
Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

i have found yahoo messager to be my choice for video chat.
@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

same thing here
Same Problem here
I'm having the same problem here. I am able to see the user on the computer, but they're not able to see me. I performed several re installations and cleared the cache multiple times, is there something I am missing here? Not quite sure how it is working for some and not others.

Does anyone else have an issue with random phone restarts?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium
Random restarts?
None here. I have been runnig this ROM for close to a week now and have not see anything like that. Have you tried to contact the Dev for the ROM? Thats where I would start.
Days on with no reboots here
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Same here, no reboot problems.
Altho I do have a oroblem when I receive mms pics, they appear as if they were videos. The pic is there but you can't zoom in on it and you can see the movie player control at the bottom. It's if it was a short 5s video with only 1frame. Quite annoying....
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
Same usurious as the infuse. Only way I know around it is to save pic and view through gallery

It's like that on a lot of Android phones. You need to save the attached picture and then look at it in your gallery.
Thats not a bug or anything, it is how a lot of mms works. It isn't a video it is a slideshow with only one pic...
Well it doesn't do that on my wife's Inspire or my old iPhone 3GS. That kind of stupid. But hopefully LG will improve their UI for GB or ICS.

Yeah, LG needs to step up their game in UI. Their music player is great, but a few tweaks here and there could make all the difference.

AW: Has Anyone figured out how to use camera remote
You need Android 4.1.2 on GCam and Remote Viewfinder for GC out of the Play Store
Within your camera menu under share you have to enable remote viewfinder and then connect your android device to the cam via wlan and start the remote viewfinder.
And next time, please use the search function of the board.

Thank you for talking to me like a child re searching which I did however can I suggest you start to learn to reads people's threads properly before dishing out criticism
I am as stated not reffering to samsungs own app I know that inside out and have advised in various thread users on how to make it work
I am in fact referring to camera remote by busy www
I can not find the thread where it was mentioned despite searching from the mobile app but i do remember it only mentioned the app not how to use it hence my new thread
I don't think its compatible with the gc as it doesnt even connect on the website system

I got it to work a litte. I can't connect via Wi-Fi (but I think that's a NAT problem), I did get my Nexus 7 to connect via bluetooth and it sorta works for a while, but the app on the Camera dies as soon as I remotely take a picture.

Think that confirms my suspicion the gc definately isn't compatible Cheers ill stop wadting my time trying to make it work

As I mentioned in the other thread (I created yesterday), the unreleased beta of the app works much better with the GC.
He is adding video features to it right now and then will re-release it to the store I guess.
You install the same app on both devices and select camera or remote mode on the two devices. (or you use a web browser to control the camera device).
The thread was just a heads up that it has been fixed and will be re-released soon. It works quite well for me.
The author has not given me permission to post the beta here. Maybe send him an email and ask for the beta?
He was very friendly and helpful.
