[Q] How do I make a video call? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Sorry if this is a noob question and yes I did a Google & XDA search but all I could find is solutions for Skype and other apps.
I want to make video calls from my Galaxy SII, I don't want to use Skype or any other third party app.
With my iPhone 4 the option was listed under the Contact, just scroll down to the bottom and select FaceTime.
thnx

there is no built in app, apps like skype or oovoo are more universally used on computers and mobile devices

I find that Tango uses the least battery of all of them.

You can also get gtalk enabler from the market and uses Google talk over 3g or wifi. Skype seems to have great quality video while in use also.
You will need to use another app to use video call though as pointed out.

I use tango, works pretty well. You can also connect to people with an iphone.

yeah, that gtalk enabler is definitely convenient. Gtalk works pretty damn good over 3G but obviously you can't use it with anyone who doesnt have android, unless they're on their PC

OK I followed the instructions from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNtK6URa8p8 and Installed everything., I still have the same screen I had before, I don't see any way to initiate a video call.
there is an image of what I have.

once you run that gtalk enabler app, reboot the phone. Once you do that, you can just click on the video camera icon to the right of the person's name in gtalk. The icon will appear ONLY if the user has video capabilities on whatever device they're using at the moment (be it their phone or PC). If the app really did unlock the video feature via 3G, you should not get an error when attempting to make a gtalk video call over 3G.

I think it still works as the picture shows the phone screen has power to it and the green LED is showing...
I want to know if there is a way to access the phone via usb so I can get some numbers and text messages of there as I run my business from it and if I can access the messages and numbers I will gain around £400 in work that had to be done!
Yes I know I should have backed up more often and know there are apps that would have saved texts but hindsight is a wonderful thing
So is there a way to get into the phone?
I have been looking and found new outer cases and new screens but it would cost a lot so that option is out and I have been looking for broken X10's to use for parts but again no luck. So it will have to be sorted via insurance but I know that means I will lose the data I need.
Can anyone help me?
Was it not set to sync with your google account?
That will back up all your contacts, then its a painful process of calling them explaining the situation to continue business.
Nope as I hated the Google sync so used to manually sync using SE once a month but I need the unsaved texts and numbers in the call log.
try with My Phone Explorer 1.8
Thanks for that, will try it later as I just realised my battery is at my mates so will get it tomorrow.
But I did notice this:
MyPhoneExplorer is basically compatible with all Phones from SonyEricsson except XPERIA, P800i, P900i and P910i.

1.8 supports X10!!
MyPhoneExplorer 1.8 released 2010-10-01
Many people waited for this update and now its finished. MyPhoneExplorer is now able to manage Android-Phones - and not only from SonyEricsson. This means there are many new supported models f.e. SonyEricsson X10, HTC Desire. Motorola Milestone, and much more.

From the readme
If you want to connect via USB-cable...
- Ensure that the Debug-Interface-Drivers for your phone are installed (ADB-Drivers)
- Ensure that 'USB-Debugging' is enabled on phone

you may struggle to get it into debugging mode if you cannot see the screen properly
Praying to god debugging mode is still on from root!
So I can litraly start the phone plug the usb in and this will allow me to access the phone without any screen/button presses?

You still need to put the phone into debug mode on the handset afaik ....
I've only used this via the APK and WIFI connection someone else here can maby guide you through to getting it into debug on the handset but if you cannot see anything then you may not have a chance at all

[Q] SMS and Phone sharing from Android?

Is there or do you think it would be possible to send SMS messages or call like you can with other WebOS phones?
MOD EDIT (LP): Please see this Post by 9kracing for a workaround.

SMS, maybe, but I don't believe there is anything inside of this that will allow over-the-air calls outside of Wifi + Skype (or something similar).
sms
well under the message app it says if you have a webOS phone you can bt it and send one but I couldn't by my evo it sucked
Could be possible via DeskSMS. koush's new android/web-app
If Mightydesk can do SMS via the browser, then I'm sure it can be implemented.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/22/mightytext-pushes-messages-and-incoming-call-alerts-to-your-comp/
Calling can be implemented easily using the Bluetooth headset profile.
any Motorola phone with PhonePortal can do this. I send and receive text messages from my atrix 4G on my touchpad
What about a Htc phone ?
I would also be interested in doing this from my android phone!
so has anyone managed this? Would love this for my desire. I can tether but that's diffrrent.

that's what I'm going to setup when I get home from work today. DeskSMS, besides forwarding texts to Gmail, can also forward them to Gtalk, which WebOS' messenger app supports. So it should (in theory) work nicely

[Q] Connecting TP to HTC EVO 3D
I was wondering if there was anyway to connect the htc evo 3d to the touchpad for text and calling seeing as how no webOS phones are really out.....
Sent from Venpa's awesome 3VO!
Probably not exactly what you're looking for but you can use wireless tether on the evo 3d and then connect the touchpad to the network and run skype. Not sure of any other way.
I wonder if that will even work, because TP will not see the Ad-hoc network created by evo 3d.
I've tried this every which way and I can't get it to work... HELP...

Wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. I tried it from my EVO 3d last night and it was working. I went to settings on the wifi app and chose the epic 4g under device profile. Search for the app on google should come up.

The evo 3d is capable of running in infrastructure mode. I don't know if the built in tether app will put it in that mode, but as smark72 already pointed out, there are other tether apps that will do so.

[q] xda facebook

I am so sorry.
My English is not good.
But my phone can use the XDA FACEBOOK!
But recently, can not connect to server.
Is the solution?
(Resolved)
My phone is Samsung B7300 Omnia Lite
Windows Mobile 6.5
and
Can Android work on my b7300 or Windows Phone7?
Please
Thank very much.
I add my voice to you, some time ago I used XDA Facebook and it worked on my HD2, but recently, I don't know why, it won't work in any kind of a way and I don't know why, even the Facebook site won't open in Opera or IE, I'm sorry I don't know if you can use Android on your Omnia, thanks anyway.
Thank you for your response.
My phone can use IE & Opera open FACEBOOK mobile.
But recently, can not connect xdafacebook.
I don't know why?
and Android maybe can not work on the b7300.
I think the problem with XDA facebook app is guaranteed on the server side of Facebook. They did recently change and upfated their site and I bet it may have something to do with it.
I noticed though that there have been display problems whenever I open Facebook Mobile in my Opera Browser on my HD2. I have to tap on the facebook link to send me home again and then it seems to load and work, but it does take longer to load onto the webpage.
I was thinking that since the XDA app is not updated for the new facebook that could be a factor but i can be wrong. I wanted to provide some logic.
I hope maybe someone else can shed any light.

touch.facebook.com doesn't even load correctly in my Opera browser.
These problems have only recently happened over the past few weeks. Thought it was down to the handset, so did a HARD RESET, and started from scratch... but that didn't seem to fix this problem.
I Have noticed that Sense Facebook Update stop work too.
No more Sense update for some time.
I believe that Facebook changes are not compatible with all platforms that use too interact with it.
This way, many will stop work. This are my thoughts...

Thank for everyone response.
I hope my phone can still use xdafacebook.
Originally could have used xdafacebook!
But after I log out,

This is version 1.0 can not remember if it was free or paid. If it's pulled from the play store guess it doesn't matter. If I'm wrong someone please tell me. I would never give a link to a paid app if I knew it was still in play store as this app is not.
