Does anyone have Google talk working on Motorola xoom wifi only working? I can't get the app the market.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
download a xoom rom and pull the talk app from system/app, then use adb or root explorer to put in your current system/app folder.
u may also need to change permissions.
hope this helps some

mine works fine...I forget if I pulled it from my phone using an sd card, but it works well
Isnt the Talk app already on your rom? thought it was standard with all androids.
should already be installed. It will be "Talk" not "Google Talk" or "GTalk".
Google Talk works great on the wifi version!

Yeah, the official Skype app (in the market) is brilliant, even for just chatting !
I use nimbuzz, and I`m pretty satisfied. Even calls are great using Skype account.
for some reason Skype app wouldn't work, i think i read it only runs on wifi? or that may have been a different app, i already have it installed so i will give it another go^^
for me skype works great also for calling (now)

It works over WiFi and 3G but in the US calling works only over WiFi.
Ah well, I use it regularly and it's fine!
Though when I tried using skype over 3G it was next to useless, even with good reception
Has been a while since this thread opened but I decided to post it anyway for all the people out there that they still need Skype working in US over 3G..

So, I 'm looking for a video chat app that works with the Xoom and is cross-platform.
I was able to download Fring, but it FC's. Anyone got anything?
Try tango, it works for me, u can make video calls but not receive.

I use google talk. Granted the other person has to have google talk also.. but I have used it without any issues.

That's kind of the point I want FULL functionality.
I hope that's not it because that'd be sad. Any word on when Google Talk's capabilities will be ported to *all* Google Talk capable devices?
I read that Fring should have a tablet optimized app for honeycomb soon.
Tango is kinda squirrely.... it doesn't seem to want to switch between landscape and portrait like it should
Hey guys I don't know if this is already posted but I'm just letting everyone that doesn't know that it works like it's suppose to

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?
danka
where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

I can confirm that Video chat works flawless over Wifi, and even tethering 3g & 4g from my HTC EVO onto my Xoom, it works flawless.
Awesome!

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?

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

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.
