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..

I installed mine from the apk from my droid popped it in dropbox and than installed it that way, installed fine just cuts out when i try pulling up the video feed.
What software do you use to video calls?
The only ones I have heard of are Fring, Tango and Yahoo. I think both parties need to be registered with the application for it to work.
Haven't used any of them though
Skype android works like a charm on my phone and worked on my POS pandigital tablet, but again, both parties need the app. Hoping to test it on the Gtab this week.
Reelportal is only thing that will work android to pc. I will post. Apk later,search on xda. You download and install and also install adobe AIR. Then all person on pc has to do is go to reelportal.com on pc. Go to same room,fast and simple. You click on number 10 to enable webcam.trust me,if you want to save alot of time go this route,ive tried it all.

Skype does not have camera settings in present release. Only voice calls are available. Also, not all ROMs support Skype.
Doh..brainfarted on that one. I skype video off my laptop and IPAD2..... My bad. (long week)
However, skype (audio) works fine on the android platform. I use it on my Droid all the time when I'm international. Cuts way down on my phone bill.
Apparently skype is working on a camera enabled android APK specifically for the tablet market, now that most of them have camera's. I wouldn't know about the G-tab though - Tigerdirect screwed me over big time so know I have to go hunt one down while I'm on the road.....grrr...
I pulled qik apk off my tmobile MyTouch 4g and it worked just fine.
I've used Yahoo messenger with video to vid chat with the wife and kids when I travel. No issues at all.
I am trying out reelportalhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613&highlight=reelportal and really liking it so far.

I agree with brandonpavo.
The reelportal method is the best method for android to PC/Mac right now (hopefully Skype will get something going soon, and not just for iOS ).
I tested it with both a PC and a MAC on my GTab and it worked perfect!
Now the question is how long it'll be free. (I wonder this since reelportal is posting on xda asking for testers). but until then I will be able to video chat with my wife whenever I'm away.
thanks for the tip!

Thanks for testing it out. I intend to keep ReelPortal free. That's why I even make the server available, so anyone can run their own service. Imagine getting hold of a Skype server software .
My intention is to use ReelPortal as a foundation for developing other software I had in mind, beyond the video conferencing aspect.

Very good to hear. With a little refinement of the UI, I think you have a world-class app. Now that our son and daughter-in-law also have G-tabs, my wife plans to do some video chat with our grandchildren.
Fring is working nicely on latest [CM7][WIP] Honeycomb/CM tablet tweaks - updated 03.04.2011: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002000
I don't have my gtab yet, but my wife and I used yahoo messenger for PC to phone video calls on her EVO. It worked well, and I plan on trying it out as soon as I get the gtab.

Thanks nunja. I just updated the GUI a few days ago. Hopefully it's better, but I would really like to hear feedback and suggestions from users.

Works fine on the gTab.
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
Running vegan 7
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?

Excellent app, this really made my day when I got it to work and only displays users that can videochat so no guessing

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!

If you just keep ignoring the message and reopening the program it will eventually work. I was able to place a video call to someone but they were unable to see my stream, it just showed up black. I was able to see them however.
OK so not just me, im sure Skype need to update their app for the phone then, as they add models all the time. thanks guys
It asked to reinstall, so I did and it was a newer version....made a call to my friend in China this morning, worked fine. No video from my phone, but could receive video. Hopefully new Skype software fixes it!
SO GOOD NEWS
I have found a copy of skype with video that works perfectly, with front and back camera, no sign in issues.
Its been re-developed by theos0o... It has some fixes you run in the Advanced settings option where if you get black screen calling you can fix it and make it work perfectly
I cannot give you the link as i think it counts as warez... but if you search Google for Skype theos0o android
You should find it
WORKS GREAT

Make sure you tick the two options in the advanced settings menu that mention fixing the black screen issue, works great after that

Hi!
I've been searhing around a bit, but couldn't find any proper soloution to fix Facebook contact sync in JB.
I've tried Facebook HaxSync with the workaround, but doesen't sync phone numbers, so the purpose of it all is kind of lost then.
I read some places that som ROMs have this feature built in? I'm currently running SlimBean 2.6, and It doesn't appear to have this feature.
The only flashable zip fix I found was for a HTC phone or something. A guy running SlimBean 2.5 on SII tried it, and it didn't work, so I guess it's not working on the note either.
So, does anyone know of a working solution for Note running Jellybean?
