What is the purpose of MetroTalk? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I watched a demo video of MetroTalk which I'm guessing is a Google Voice app for Windows Phone and I'm like so? WTF? is this? Seriously Tell me can do the same thing so why would anyone want this pointless, crappy Google app?

Application request (wifi web cam)

Is it possible to have an app to turn your phone in to a wifi web cam?
This would be the ultimate spy tool for babysitters, cheating spouses... you name it.
I would think it would need to be plugged in or it would drain the battery fast.
This is not for viewing existing web cams, there are already apps out there that do that.
I want an app to turn your phone in to a web cam.

I've been using it for a few minutes now, it works very well over wifi. Slow over 3g and edge. =]
Kind of a waste of a $400 phone to use as a stupid camera.... why not just pick up a cheap camera?

Question: This works on the G1/Dream?
If so: What did you select/how did you download it?
Because, I didn't see HTC Dream/G1/Android, etc... in their list under HTC.
Any help?

Voice changing app?

Does anyone know if there is an app that allows voice changing?
or if some one is currently making one?
paid or free
SpoofApp does that, and there is another one similar. They both have the ability to record the call as well, with the voice change.

there's one called 123spoof for g1, they came out with i am t-pain for the iphone which is a autotune app.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btN5yuVcRes - i am t-pain.
Yes i have used bluffmycall and spoof, but neither of them have many options on voice changing.
i was thinking more a voice changing application that allowed you to chose your pitch and other factors. not really a app that sends you to a third party.
if any developer is interesting in making one PM me

Bump for Android

Didn't see a topic on this, did a search so apologies if there is one...
"Bump" that application that the iPhone adverts seem to feature heavily is now on Android. It basically just shares your contact info with another phone by "bumping them together":
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2009/1...ick-contact-sharing-app-not-iphone-only-anym/
Downloaded it today and it's pretty good, free aswell.
Seems ok. My only quarrel is it uses some internet service to store/transfer your contact info(is this how the Iphone does it as well?). I'd prefer it turn on and use bluetooth instead. idk just my 2c
Anyone know if we can or if sometime in the future we'll be able to bump android to iphone?

I'm pretty sure the current android app works with the iPhone app but the new iPhone app has some new features we don't have as of yet.

That program looks disturbing and sleazy.
1) by proximity I presume? then how do you know it isn't being set off automatically? I.e. on a subway when the train lurches and someone happens to be standing next to you...
2) goes through your whole contact list and compares them using a 3rd party service? Ouch -- SERIOUS security failure here.
can't find it in market. lots of stuff has disappeared? Camera Zoom FX, Snap Photo Pro, Mobile Defense. What the heck! Where did they go?

Will someone send me the skype.apk?

For some reason I can't see it in my Canadian 1.6 donut market on my G1
I want to be able to use skype to talk to people over data.
search google for "android market enabler". Use it to set your properties to tmobileUS.
I did. It's not showing skype. I see other apps that were not there but Skype's not one of them.

You can't talk through data with skype, it's useless app.
I think that app has been taken down because I can't find it on the market either.
Here is skype. I found it on 4shared:

aahhhh. Is there any way I can use skype for voice? and sms? I need to text international and Skype is the only way I think

Skype will be releasing a true data client shortly, just wait for it.
If you absolutely need to use Skype right now and you already have a Gizmo5 account, you can install Sipdroid and use Gizmo5's Skype connector service. Obviously this is not as practical a solution as a native Skype client.
Is there any way to do international texting relatively cheap / free other than skype too?

Try Fring. It supports Skype with Voip. Can make Skype and Skype-out calls.

for text try voipcheap.com and eventually using it with and after use the sbmessj as a software on your android phone to manage everything. Of course you need a connection data too.

I dont have a tmobile acct, but I have a G1 & use textPLUS over wifi; its worked swimmingly for me so far & its 100% free too.

Try using Nimbuzz, so far the best IM client that i found. And it is free.

Google talk or call

How to get Google talk or call to work in other places apart from the US?
Sent from my X10i
I think you mean google voice? there's no such thing as 'call', and Gtalk is their IM service which is available world-wide. There are some methods available, but judging by people's comments they are extremely unreliable. I'd like to think that when someone contacts me via phone or SMS, *they will be able to contact me*, for me it's not worth messing with even though I'd really like to use GV.
Well if the a person studies abroad and has to call back home its gonna be pretty expensive. I installed skype but it has. Horrible voice quality.

There was an app in the market place via which one can make video caller rather phone calls for free via ggoogle voice. But they mentioned that its available only to US customrrs
I think this is only available to US customers, you can only call through gtalk to gtalk just like Skype. Gtalk call is very limited.

maybe soon Gtalk will release a better version but right now we have to deal with it. You can just use Skype for the meantime.

Hardly, I've using video calling on Gtalk via iChat, it works very well.
You can't call a service crap just because it doesn't offer a feature that you want (which it never advertised).
Well Google voice only runs in America.

Huh? I have perfect call quality with both google talk voice, and skype. You prob had bad internet at that moment. Maybe something updating.
If it's a girl, calling would be the classical way of doing it, but video chatting might be a little better... I don't know.
Yeah I guess
