No Video With Google Talk on Droid 3

Just got my wife the new Droid 3 that's running Android 2.3.4. This is the version of Android that is supposed to support video with Google Talk. Tried starting Talk and only thing I can do is messaging with Talk. No video option like on my Thrive tablet.
What's the Deal Google?Verizon/Motorola?

I know how software works and how companies have a habit of delivering products before they are ready, i.e. "get the device approved for software that is loaded on a device".
Based on what I found on the Motorola frequently asked questions page, see below, It appears that Motorola tried but right now it's in Google's & Verizon's court. Because of Google's urge to keep their products a step ahead of their competitors, I'd be surprised if it was them holding up approval.
Google Talk video chat
DROID 3 by Motorola will not support Google Talk videochat at the time of market launch. We are excited about the potential of videochat to enrich the Motorola smartphone experience, and we are working actively with Google and Verizon Wireless to enable this feature as soon as possible.
While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like "Tango". You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to video chat.

Using video with Google Talk account in iChat

Hello,
Is is possible to use video chat with a Google Talk account in iChat? I am able to tect chat, but cannot seem to connect to video with other (PC) users.
Cheers,
Candice

Hi
Have you got a AIM or .mac account
You can use iChat to talk(video) a PC on AIM, The PC must be using AIM6.1 http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp?aolp=

Video with Google Talk?

I have seen a few people on Twitter say they now can use Google Talk like Skype/Tango. Is there something I am missing because when i go into Google Talk, no option for video.

So far, I've either had the video fail to start, or only display the view from the back camera (that is, my desk and feet). If you press on your name in the list of Talk users, a dialog will pop up allowing you to enter a status message and set your status. Below that is a checkbox for Allow video and voice chats. You'll want that checked.
On the other hand, I still don't have it using the front camera despite this morning's Gingerbread update. The screen goes dark and stays there (until I press the back button); or the screen goes dark and then flashes back to a chat, refusing to even try video after that; or once I got the rear camera to work while my friend's phone rang, but he was away.
I'm hoping I can find some answers: this was the feature I looked forward to the most.

Ichat not communicating with google talk

My iChat suddenly stopped working with google talk with a message stating that "iChat can't communicate with the Jabber Account [email protected]: could not communicate to host xmpp.l.google.com". I have tried to delete my google acct and add it back in but with little success. Other things I have tried are changing the server settings, clicking the SSL box on and off, restarting my mac, and turning my Wifi off and on. I tried to open up the Jabber Account on my roommate's computer and it worked fine. It is unusual as my Jabber Account was working fine yesterday and then it suddenly stopped working. Please help!
Thank you!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iChat. There's an iChat Support Community where everybody uses iChat. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Ichat can't communicate with google talk account

hey there, I keep getting the following error from my ichat; "Ichat can't communicate with google talk account Gmail." Not sure why I am getting this. My ichat has worked fine in the past. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've already gone into settings and deleted the ichat account and re-installed it. that didn't work...
please and thank you!

HI,
Did you change the password at Google and forget to do it in iChat ?
Is Talk still Enabled at your Google Account Settings ?
In re-adding the account you ar using the "right" ending (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) ?
Try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.com
You will need to do this in the Finder
Use the Go Menu.
Hold th ALT key and select th Library
Open Preferences
Find the .plist and Drag to Trash
Restart iChat.

Video chat with Google Talk users in Empathy

So I've been able to do this in Ubuntu, but have been unsuccessful everywhere else. Ubuntu has their multiverse packages for all the nonfree codecs, but... I tried to get it working in Debian with no success. Thought Arch might have the right codecs, installed all the gstreamer plugins available through pacman, but nope. So... anyone got video chat to work with a user of the Google Talk browser plugin? What packages would I need to do this in Arch?

Same problem. I have empathy and telepathy-gabble installed and when I attempted a video call empathy crashed and brought Gnome down with it. Does anyone have a functioning empathy?
I went to https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#Audi … ideo_calls and then checked my codecs. I think my codecs are good. Any other ideas? Does anyone read into this link differently?

Ovi chat with Google talk account not seamless..

With a little bit of seraching related to the above topic i didn't find many threads related to this, so its worth starting a new one.
Everytime i open Software Update application on my 5800 i see this 'Ovi contacts 1.20' so updated to it few days back all went well and to my surprise it had an option to invite Google talk accounts too, i like somthing which comes along with the device so that we dont rely on third parties too much. I found that chatting is not that seamless, when i chat with someone the message i send is not reaching them instantly nor the one coming from the other end appears on my 5800(v40), suddenly 3 to 4 chat messages pop up, this is sort of annoying the entire purpose of Instant chat or messaging is defeated, even i did one more test , opended Nimbuzz and Ovi chat and initaited a chat, message i send from Ovi to Nimbuzz comes instantly and the reverse doesn't and suddenly 3 to 4 messages pop up.
So has anyone, using Ovi contacts, facing this and found anything please reply. I haven't tested with OVI-OVI conatcts hope atleast that works instantly.
Thanks........

Getting Truphone to work with Google Talk to make a free call

I'm trying to make a free call from my iPhone to my home computer using Truphone.
I installed Truphone on my iPhone and I have a Google Talk account on my Mac using Jabber in iChat. I'm trying to get the two the communicate with each other to make a phone call. Truphone requires me to call Google Talk using this number/code: [email protected] to invite it to engage in a phone call with the iPhone. Once the invite is accepted, then it will work - it says. Problem is that i cannot add this letters ([email protected]) on my iPhone to the mobile number field, only numbers. I am able to do it on my Mac and sync it to my iPhone, but for some reason the @ symbol gets dropped out of it and it won't work otherwise.
Has anyone had this same issue and was able to get it to work? Or...has anyone been able to get Truphone to be able to call their Mac using wifi to make a free call?

I sent a question to Truphone regarding this issue and this was their response. Bummer.
Dear K D,
Unfortunately it is not currently possible to dial SIP addresses
([email protected]) using the Truphone iPhone client. This includes calling
Google Talk addresses.
The Truphone service for the iPhone is an outbound calling solution. When
you're connected to Truphone you're able to make cheap Truphone calls over the
Internet. Please note that inbound calls will be received via your mobile/cell
network and not via Truphone.
New Truphone accounts for the iPhone won’t be assigned a separate Truphone
number. Instead your outgoing caller id will be presented as your
mobile/cellular number that you entered during the installation process.
Calls to other Truphone users who are using Nokia devices are free when both
parties are online.
If you have any further queries please reply to this email for assistance.
Regards,
The Truphone Support Team

Ichat with google talk and others

Is there any way I can add yahoo..google talk and aim people and see them and speak with them just by using my @me name or my aim name on Ichat version 5.0.1?
if so how..its seems complicated to do all this

No.
You can have a Buddy list based an A Google ID
You can have a separate Buddy LIst based on your @me.com name
The people you know on a Jabber Server or with Google IDs can be added to the GoogleTalk Buddy list.
AIM (And Apple) Buddies can be added to your @me.com Buddy list.
AS Defcom pointed out there is a way with a Jabber server to Link to the AIM service (And therefore get AIM/Apple Buddies into a Jabber /Googletalk Buddy list (GoogleTlak is a Jabber server)
You can not get Jabber Buddies into the AIM list.
So with just an @Me.com Buddy list you can only add those other People that login to AIM.

IChat NOT CONNECTING with Google TALK - Newbie

Hi
I have a huge problem with the Google Talk on iChat.
I followed every step, and nothing seems to work. These are the steps I tried...I created a new jabber account and put all the necessary information like the lD and password. For the server I put 'talk.google.com.' As for the server settings, I left the port at 5223 and left all the boxes checked and 'location' as iChat.
This is the message I keep getting...'Could not connect to host talk.google.com'
Could the problem be the port number? as I am residing in Canada, is there another port number? or could it be a problem with jabber itself...like I have to download some additional stuff for Jabber?
Please let me know
Kp
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

HI Andrew,
I have several Jabber accounts and have intermittent problems with all of them.
Realistically Google seems to be the worst though, either not connecting or dropping connections every now and then.
But also I am not using a Proxy to get this to work.
The Jabber side of iChat does not have any Proxy options and relies on the System settings in System Preferences > Network

What is wrong with google talk !

Google Talk takes forever for the contacts to show up. It keeps getting disconnected.
I bought a new Q10 yesterday and this is a complete disappointment. It was the first app I installed on my Q10.
I had a 9360 earlier and it used to work fine on it. But on Q10, it is a 0/10.

I think Google have dissed Google Talk (just like they did to Latitude) in favor of Hangouts. Only they forgot to offer Hangouts for BlackBerry. So much for "do no evil" company.

IChat AV can't audio chat with Google Talk

I'm using iChat AV 3, and I have enabled my Google Jabber account. My friend is on a PC, and has Google talk. We can IM, but we both can't start a voice chat.
Is there anything we must do to enable voice chats? We both can talk on skype fine, and we both have headsets that work, just iChat/google talk won't let us communicate.
Anyone have a solution? This is only till a universal binary of Skype comes out...
Thanks,
Bryan

File Transfer Option Greyed Out with Google Talk users..

I don't know if this is possible. Is it possible to get file transfer to work between Mac iChat 4.0 users and Google Talk Windows users? Or is this not possible.. if it is possible can someone point me in the direction of getting this enabled?
Thank you,
Kevin

I think I've ran into a licensing issue; On Oracle Standard Edition, only ASM is allowed.
