Help Google talk video chat?

[Legacystar]

I'm having trouble getting video chat to work on the stratosphere. It doesn't seem to recognize as being video chat capable. The anyone get this to work?

I asked the same question in the original thread for the Stratosphere 5 days ago and the response I got mostly was that no one used video chat! But I also was unable to get it to work. Same for Tango.

Thanks for the info. I this is a real bummer. I bet we could fix with root but we shouldn't have to do that. I was able to get vtok working but it only allows me to start a voice chat not answer one

vtok worked for me as well, but made the phone buggy so I removed it. This is surprising as other Samsung phones work with video chat.

I got this to work on my wife's Stratosphere using the guides below.

1. RootzWiki - Stratosphere

2. GTalk 1.3 On most Android devices

Enjoy!

you can do it with ADB (android developers bridge)

just follow these instructions

I don't know why people had issues. Before I rooted my phone I was able to get both Tango and the Google Talk app to work. I used both to video chat with my daughter. She used her iPod and I used my Strat - worked flawlessly.

If I could I would provide some sort of help via a step by step guide or something but honestly, it shouldn't be necessary as I just used the default app (Google Talk) then downloaded Tango and used that.
