I believe this link will take you to download the ripped yahoo messanger app. I've got it, but have not had the opp to use the video chat. But it does show up as an option check out it out people!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812919
Edit: according to the above post only rear camera working on video, but hey its progress!
I am getting.. "Cannot download, The content is not supported on this phone."
I got mine from the evo forums I will post a link later. It is actually 2 downloads, the messaging apk and then the video chat addon apk. You must install the messaging apk for the video apk to work.

Tried it with my Epic. No camera from the phone is being recognized on the PC client and the phone continues to say "Connecting...".
Will try it at home where I can log onto Wifi for more testing.

I downloaded it but I can't seem to get it to wrk. Do I have to install it ontop of the prexsisting mmessenger client or do I uninstall first. I tried both and they don't work
Epic 4G
I still havnt had a chance to use it myself, but it is sounding like a no go for now. Hopefully someone can play with it and get it working, I don't know why google has failed to implement video with gtalk yet! It sucks having a front facing camera and not being able to use it. Because I don't know any one with an evo, epic, or iphone ect... we need phone to pc video chat!

Don't even try it won't work guys unsupported just like skype.
If ur looking for a pc to phone video cat try "qik in touch" its in bet now but frm what I hear its working
works on Evo just fine, but doesn't work on Epic yet
works for me (cell to pc) even tho the other party sees my front facing cam image sideways on their end but I see my image right side up in my self view window while in a video chat session. Still kinda buggy trying to establish a successful video chat. I have not tried cell to cell or over a 3g/4g connection, only verified cell to pc over my wifi connection.

Has anybody tried voice calling sans the video? How do you rate that? Does it work with earphones? Can you use earphones with video calling and use back camera for that?

Just wanted to run a few things by you guys to see if anyone has had the same problems or work around s:
anybody having trouble following youtube links? got a link to a users page and a channel page but youtube opens up with the grey loading box in the middle of the screen and the circle progress bar gone. doesn't do anything. I can go search for the exact same item and browse to it though.
tested the links on my pc and they work fine... so its not that.
going to the www url straight in the browser redirects to m.youtube.com and produces the same effect (ie: http://www.youtube.com/user/allaboutbikes )
I also downloaded camera magic; works as a substitute to the camera app.
However, two camcorder apps I tried (qik and anCorder) didn't work. Anybody else get a camcorder to work?
Have you flashed the youtube fix? I haven't noticed a problem with links.
The video camera is a known issue being worked on, but no fix yet.
youtube fix? where did you see that?
also, this might be a stupid one but I thought froyo was going to come with wireless tethering? Where can I find the apk?

YouTube fix should be in an-update-for-the-noobz.zip. If not I think its on PrimoWeb.
FroYo's wireless wireless tethering won't work on our devices.
Wired tether however does work great for us for the first time EVAR.
Is that the one with over clock fix? That bogged my phone down.
Will we ever get wireless tethering on our hero? The one from 2.1 won't work? My alosius came with it

hmm.. update for noobz is gone..
Try the Test 2 build on the IRC . No problems with YouTube.

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

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.

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.

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
