Yahoo Messenger with Video Chat - Gen8 General

I know there have been a few threads on video chat and I apologize for making a new one; however I thought my post may get lost if I tried to post in older threads. Below are the APKs for both yahoo messenger and the video add on. I've tested this on my 101 and it works well. I did find out that if you have not updated to the latest firmware it does not work well. Enjoy!

If I find that an update is needed I will add the links as needed.

Does not work for me. Neither these files nor the files from the market. Video /Audio addon crashes always on the A 70.

Are u on the new firmware?

2.0.71 of course. Driver seemed to suck all CPU power...

Seems to work just fine, but is one heavy app. Between the chat and the plugin it is over 20mbs of space. Not sure how it affects battery life...

You can also download these from the market if you have it installed. I tested this today and it is the best so far. Fring and Tango still have a lot of bugs. The new Skype with Video is going to be Verizon only.. at least for this year. There is one more that just came out that might be better than Yahoo and that is ooVoo. It is in beta, but you can download it now from the market. I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds promising.
So if you have Archos.. best video chat so far I think is Yahoo and ooVoo.

No More jetVD-YouTube Downloader :mad:

Looks like they took jetVD off the Android Market. I just installed a new rom and didn't backup that app. If anybody has the latest v0.9.8 apk can you please please pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase upload.
There are more places to look for app's than just the Market. I'll see if I can find something.
Not sure what version it is, or if it is infected in any way shape or form, but here is a working download:
http://www.4shared.com/file/vbUs9Glk/jetVD.html
Edit: version 0.9.4.
works okay for me
Some ROMS have problems with missing apps from the market. It has to do with the build.prop file. One way to get these apps is to use appbrain and fast web installer to send it to your phone. The app still exists: http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=jetvd
No apps found for "jetvd"
I am getting irritated by Google removing the apps that grab youtube videos.
Anyone has the latest version of apk and would you share it please?
EDIT: I finally managed to grab it from the 4shared link, tried like 10 times and it finally worked. Although it isn't the latest version (cannot choose where to save the videos).
Download Best tube off the market is free and its a youtube downloader and I have found every app that I've looked for....
Aren't there plenty of other apps that do the same thing?

TubeMate works really well for me. It will save in multiple formats and in all available sizes. I use it to entertain my 2 year old with cartoon shorts.

Thanks for the app. But unfortunately the app will still work but the videos that are linked to YouTube is not available. Im Assuming that the jetvd team is undergoing a major update on the next version due to the script changes done in YouTube this past new years.

interesting. they seem to be developing even though they were yanked off of the market. however i cant read any of the links off of their twitter feed. on the computer or the phone.
version 0.9.13 is not working but the version attached to the first post is working fine
Version 1.0.1 will be out soon. I saw the release notes on their site. It will feature a new UI. We can view video comments and the option to view related videos as well as videos upload by the user.
I have 0.9.7 on my phone, from the Market, back when it was still there and it works 100% still.
1.0.1 is on the market!!
Sorry if this is late and after the fact...
JetVD is available on the market, but the lite version on the market will not allow you to download videos and save them. People in the comments section have advised to go to their website at jetvd.com and download it straight from there (using your mobile device). The Full version is free there, and will allow you to save your videos.
Is there a new jetvd or any other app that converts youtube videos to mp3?
I've been using TubeMate for a year or so, but it's not on the Market. Get it for free at m.tubemate.net.

Facebook.apk

I accidentally deleted the official Facebook app that came preloaded with my Iconia...now every time I attempt to download it from the Android Market it says not compatible with my device. What gives? Where can I get a copy? Did a google search for facebook.apk for some of those links look shady! Thanks.

The facebook app 1.6 isn't compatible with HC 3.1, so even if you get it it won't work, unless yoour not on HC 3.1 in which case no idea.

the original facebook app on the iconia was just a link to facebook.com. no app from facebook currently works on honeycomb. Download friend me from the market. It links into face book and gives a nice interface into facebook, honeycomb optimized.

This is absolutely not true i have facebook on my acer it is version 1.5.4 so, although 1.6 may not work, facebook does in fact work. You just need the right version.
that being said friend me is better on HC for sure.

i've always had the market facebook market app. The only problems are that widget and friend button doesnt work
edit
Las Facebook update works really well. Even the widget.
Try rooting your tablet and user market enabler
seems having a problem with the market and facebook, can't from the tablet get it
said : not available, retry... hu
on my second tablet I got the 1.6 I will extract it, and install on second tablet.. but it's weird
Just checked again and I can't even find the FB app on the market. The only day I can find it is if I got to GoChat and look under related apps. If I try to download it, I get the "the request you have made cannot be found.
I'm kind of just sticking to using FB in Dolphin HD. The desktop version on there works well enough.
I tried using Friend Me and although I love the interface, its missing much functionality and can't even get basics correct. Notifications are out of wack, can't refresh 'em and the app just doesn't seem to want to update the FB content. I have to logout and log back in in order to update my notifications.
Like I said, browser FB works well enough and GoChat for chat works perfectly.
It appeared on my Iconia last night and I downloaded it without any problems. I've also had problems downloading it in the past - I could find it on Market, but it couldn't be downloaded.
Friend Me app will do the job but you get ads on the bottom of the screen which I hate as much as not having FB on my tablet lol
i use social jogger for news feed and friendcaster for detailed interaction

facebook, netflix not compatible with a500

For the last few months I've Ben unable to update/install Facebook on a500. App does not show in marketplace app, does show on web android market but shows as not compatible with Acer. I've got factory install (of honeycomb) and received latest updates---though I had the problem prior to 3.1. Note I already have older version of Facebook when I was able to install (when I first got a500...just after release). I'm not interested in rooting if possible and believe issue must be related to configs on marketplace in my profile?
I'm sure the issue isn't very widespread or else this forum would filled with posts...anythoughts?
you are correct that it is currently not compatible. That is why on your Acer there is a Facebook link. It has nothing to do with your user settings on the marketplace. What you can do is look up on xda or on Google for the facwbook apk.

Download Friend Me from the market, it's the next best thing to an actual app from Facebook.
As far as Netflix, the only way right now is to root, download the app from the forum, download a patch and it'll work. Only downside is it causes problems with the camcorder function.
Maybe this can lead you in the right direction:

The Netflix fix does not cause me video can issues.
Don't know about net flix but i use the same black transparent Facebook app that I use on my mosaic powered captivate with no problems

I use the dolphine browser HD for fb. Use a gesture for quick access. Set it to use https instead of http. Netflix won't work unless u root it. Look around for rooting options and apk for Netflix.
the Facebook link Acer provides sucks. I can't use it myself. Dolphine has webzine feature but if u like regular full fb, dolphin in desktop mode is perfect.

Problem with Facebook Messenger

Hello everyone! I am using Huawei P8. After I updated Messenger app to its latest version I have serious problems. The camera in the app works really bad. It's laggy with awful quality of the picture. In the previous version I didnt have this problen. I reinstalled it twice but the problem remained. Ill be very thankful if you know how I can fix it. Thank you!
Did it work well in earlier versions? If so uninstall the messenger you currently have, download an earlier version (Google it, I can't post links sadly), then install it.
It worked well but is there a way to fix the new version coz i wont be able to use it functions..

messenger was never optimized for p8´s camera, for me it always took way worse photos than original camera app, so when i wanted to send photo via messenger, i took it with camera and then share it via messenger, image is much sharper with better lighting , otherwise its up to facebook to fix it and i can take some time, if ever (and i doubt)...
You can download old version of APKs at apkmirror (dot) com. I personally use this site and trust this site a lot when downloading old versions of apps (like ES File or QuickPic) and also for getting APKs for my dad's Blackberry and on my old G3 without Gapps.

Functional Skype on Nougat Stock ROM?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone of you succeeded to get Skype properly working on Nougat, with the stock ROM?
So far I managed to install it, either via the AptoideTV application (itself downloaded via the browser in EZ file explorer) or by downloading the APK file. The version from Aptoide TV is functional but doesn't show any video call button, only voice call, in both directions (in and out calls).
It can however access a webcam to take a new picture (I've installed Open Camera for that purpose).
I'll keep you updated if I have any update on that purpose.
Go to settings > app , look for Skype app, click on it and post the whole package name.
I don't have stock Nougat but full Android and Skype work well, I also use the following app to route calls and video calls audio output to HDMI port. Is a must have:

Version 6.15.0.1162 / com.skype.raider
Similar situation with Version 7.32.99.490 / com.skype.polaris and 7.24.0.255 / com.skype.raider
This issue with Stock is probably due to the fact that it uses the Leanback verison of the App, and thus deactivite the camera-related features.

Is Skype really fully functional in your case on Full Android? If so, could you share your setup?

I search recently for a working Video call App on my shield. After the Nougat / android 7 update, I try Skype Lite and WhatsApp.
The current beta of WhatsApp was working great. But the video crashed after a period of time.
In the Skype Lite apk, I was able to upload Feedback to Microsoft. If more people would do this ms could think about to be the first, full and stable video messenger for the living room.
Just sideload the newest apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/...ite-1-0-0-27544-release-android-apk-download/ and tab on the Feedback area.

I don't have experience with Skype Lite, but Microsoft voluntary stopped to support Skype on (smart) TV last year.
Thus, they will not be first, they were already there, and alternatives exist.

Did you think they mean not just only smart TVs. In the last year Android TV was not really on the market. Perhaps they mean just smart TVs with own build os's like Samsung and All the other did before they use Android. Create an Android OS App is much easyer than do it for many many different os's from the different TV companys.
Can you tell me the working alternatives? I try many different Video call messengers without success.

My alternative was to move to Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM from @zulu99, check this post for more details on the comparison.
This ROM is not available on XDA anymore, but Google will help you find your way.
I'm now using a full Android Nougat ROM, from @zulu99 too, but Skype video calls aren't working (yet) and I cannot downgrade to Marshmallow. Thus, for the moment, if Skype is a must I'd recommend to use the Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM (and to check my ROMs comparison post). Also, note that Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM can only be installed on 2015 models, not on 2017 ones!
I hope that help.

Greetings by Idijt
Hello,
Skype-Lite wasn't working.
I moved back to Marshmallow StockRestyle, where Skype 6.15 was working, but now it's also unsupported (Skype now requires a Windows account).
Thus, my updated question: has anyone been successful with the new version of Skype release this summer (version 8.xx)?
