Hey guys great news, I finally got Fring up and running with video chat on my Archos 101!!! To get it working, it appears that you have to download the apk version 2.1.0.6, dated 27/5/2010! This is an older version of Fring, as the new ones wont boot up. I happen to find the APK doing a google search. At first boot, it took a while to load up, so I backed out and tried again...it loaded, but when I clicked video, it force closed. So i closed it out, tried again and bang, worked like a charm!!! There is a two to three second lag between your live movements and what you see on the screen, but it works now without crashing!!! I am very happy with my Archos now that I have video chat. Please try it and let me know if it works for you guys!! =D> =D>
Can you post the link to the apk file here? Thanks!
Hey there
XDA wont allow me to post links, because I'm a new member..but I can tell you to google search the apk and enter megaupload on your search. Or check my similar posting in Archos fan forums, my username there is RAHIEM69D. Fring works now 100% for me, with just a little lag.
Is the sound quality good? Last I tested fring with sip it was horrible, maybe it's just the sip suppot that's bad.
The video chat lags for about 3 seconds, not bad really. The sound was actually pretty good, but i guess it depends on your wifi signal strength. Really impressed overall considering how much i paid for the archos. Anyone please let me know if the apk works for you guys?

Hey Guys!
First i wanna say, great site
I got a problem with the youtube app and panel which i can download here. I installed the youtube app and the panel which came from this url.
The problem is, when i click on the youtube app it doesnt load, and when i use the youtube panel the screen turns white and nothing happens.
Have u guys got any ideas? Thnx in advance!
greets, Frank
Hi,
I don't have tried the panels, but i have tried a few different youtube apps for X1.
After installing these youtube cabs, even my WMV codecs which came shipped on my phone were currupted. The problem was, that the youtube cabs installed their own codecs and they have overwritten my original ones.
I don't know, if there existing a youtube app which is compatible to X1, but i recommend you don't use any youtube apps, until anyone gives you a link with functional app
I had to Hardreset my X1 to get the original codec of wmv on its place
i hope there is anyone who can post a functional youtube app link
best regards

You should've followed the link and actually read a bit in the youtube app thread instead of creating a new topic :>. Or use the search function of this forum. It works well, I know .
Sounds like you do not have an english winMobile 6 Rom?
You have to change the *.[numbercode].mui in the windows directory to your countries code to get the application working.
Codes and more infos in the youtube app thread. just take a look.
hmmm, right my windows mobile is not an english one...
As i had installed the app, there was no info like that, i think it was too early when i tried
thanks a lot, i will try it again; ofcourse reading instructions
Heh, i have the very same thing. I guess when the title says 'working youtube' i wont bother reading >5 pages just to confirm it really works.
I cant decide it is common logic or lazyness .
hehe ye thnx! It works now =) I just needed to change the filename.
Problem however, i cant see any movies through the app. After a few seconds i get the error: " Error: Cannot play this video ". But the video's work fine when i go to http://m.youtube.com.
Any comments? =)
Heh,
today I went to my favourite F1live website (I'm a real F1 fan)
And was really HAPPY to watch video right from the page with sound!
Damn

Heh, i thought i had it working too, however, same thing as you have. I can scroll, search and pictures show up and all. However, when i want to play a movie. It say's "Error: Cannot play this video".
God, this is driving me nuts.
Youtube with Opera Mobile only works on 50% of the vids', its very choppy too.
Youtube with KinomaPlay works, but its choppy when in landscape and you'll have to pay for the full version to have more then 10 search results.
Youtube with Coreplayer works, but its buggy and crashes ALOT.
Youtube with youtubeplay works, but its only low/med-quality and the interface is very simple and dull.
Man, it will never change
Until we'll have a full Flash support for WM,
not FlashLite 3!
I have searched the net for hours, and I cannot find any easy method to make a Video call from my Galaxy S to my PC via the net.....
Why the heck is this so difficult? The main result I get is Fring, which used to work with Skype, but doesnt any more, so that is useless. They dont even have a PC Client, which is beyond me!
Then there is Qik, but that is useless as well. Either can be used Phone-Phone, but I want Phone - PC so I can video chat with family while I travel.
I am not very experienced with this, but apparently Fring can be configured for SIP services.... but when I looked these up, they are require payment.
Can anyone help me out???? The phone has a front facing camera and can connect to wifi, there is no reason I can see that it shouldnt be an easy thing to do - it seems like all the big telcos are holding back the technology so they can charge their huge rates, hence why I think its a conspiracy!!!!
Cheers!
Yes, I too think the biggest reason for not having video calling over a data connection is due to the telcos' influences. Technically i see no limitation, Fring already did this and showed that it is possible. Skype IMO has the infrastructure but they are more interested in pleasing Verizon than their own customers .
Sipdroid, works with any sip client and trunk that supports video calls.
i tried sipdroid, but i couldn't get it to work, and when i searched somebody said you needed to pay for the account.
but if you say it works, i'll give it another go. so does it work phone to pc or phone to phone or both?
Bump. I've been wondering the same. My small research also seamed to indicate that sipdroid was the way to go.
i've been trying to find a popular video calling App that works with the PC
so far Sipdroid seems to be the only one
"iMovachi"
Ugly as hell and it doesn't support die front camera of the Galaxy S, bit it is the ONLY video chat software that works from android to pc and vice versa.

Not compatible with Galaxy S and the software is a totally mess. Force closes every few seconds, horrible resolution, etc...
Has anyone tried ooVoo yet ?
The single user is free (3 user free for 30 days) and it seems to work perfect with the front camera. It was also a doddle to set up.
I use Yahoo Messenger video chat.
I tried Yahoo Messenger but it didn't support the front camera

Hey.. ooVoo works! Thanks for the advice. Front camera works perfect. I didnt test the voice calls yet... but its free to call phone - PC through wi-fi... its still beta.. hope they improve its quality soon.
another good one is Tango works great between phones
but no PC support yet
Skype app on iPhone already supports video - shame the Android version is still in the dark ages
Has anyone been able to get a fonctionning video chat option going? I've tried fring and tango and they both don't seem to work, I either get a lost connection or a FC...
My girlfriend is in Japan and I'd love to be able to videochat with her using this device (it was one of the reasons I got it in the first place)
Thanks!

Im having issues performing gtalk video calls with desktops, ive read somewhere that this is due to the 3.2 update? Is this right, if so is there any way to get it to work?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
im pretty sure it works in prime 1.9, wich is 3.2
Strange. I use quite frequently GTalk (video conf) and have no issues. The other party uses a PC so desktop. Apart from quite low audio quality originating from my side I can say all else works good.
edit: forgot to add that yes I'm on stock 3.2
Hmm how strange... i just installed Pauls HR9 rom so will see if its possible with that.
so where do you download this Gtalk?

It comes preinstalled with the transformer (called TALK). If not, then Google it
Don't think it's 3.2. Gtalk video chat works fine for me.
Make sure the PC has the video chat plug-in installed.
Hope that helps...
I use Gtalk on my Transformer and my LG G2x all the time with my GF back home (when I travel for work). We've used Tango in the past but it sucks compared to GTalk.
Her phone doesn't have a FFC so it was hard for her to video chat but she has a Netbook with a FFC so I set GTalk on there. I downloaded the Video Chat plugin but was still fishy.
The only way I could get it to work on her netbook was just simply have her sign in to Gmail, then it uses the Web GUI to initiate a video chat. Weird thing is that none of my devices show her as being Video Capable, so she's required to initiate the start of it (which is no big deal).
For what its worth, I use Revolver version 3.2 and whatever Custom Kernel is available in Revolver Parts.

What's the exact issue? Make sure you tap your name in top and mark yourself AVAILABLE FOR VIDEO AND VOICE CHAT. Otherwise you wont be able to voice/video chat.
install gtalk from the market. was having problems before with "Talk"
Hi guys, total newbie, bought chinese version from Ali express, using it in Europe. Came with Play store and english language as requested. The only real issue I'm unable to find a solution for is the above, so i'm hoping someone will help me here..
Basically if I try to send a video clip through facebook messenger, the app crashes and kicks me out, every single time. Same with instagram, trying to put up a video on a timeline or instagram stories video, get a message Instagram has stopped working, and that happens every time as well. Please help. Thank you.
P.S.: have no experience with any of the rooting etc, simply this place is the last resort as nowhere else provided any help

Try the ZTE community forums on ZTE's website. They are extremely helpful, I've found.
I have the U version, so I'm afraid I can't be more help.
