Hi, I do't know what kind of problems have people with the warranty.

At least, in Spain, majority of people have bought their mobile phone from secondhand, and has no any kind of invoice to obtain warranty, and don't forget that people change their smartphones as soon as they can (6 months)

I had many many smartphones, the majority seconhand, and never needed warranty rapair. Perhaps my age, 48, is the response. I have smooth care with them.

Is a good new that HTC offers this service.

Anyone try this out? Does it work? If so, what rom are you running, and did you need to change anything?

Link here.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mike_ekim:
I'm at work but I'm really curious; Skype says it will work with *some* 2.2 devices, and if you have 2 cameras the wrong camera will work but we have only one camera so we might be in luck.

Fingers crossed...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] d4RkN355:
Just installed it.. Will try it out! :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdoorny:
I tried it briefly in Vegan tab 5.1.1.

-Everything aside from video calling seemed to operate well. This includes voice calls.

-The video call function was not available in the settings menu.

When I read through the skype announcement I noticed that it will only show video of rear facing camera's in froyo. Can the front facing camera be spoofed to work like a rear facing camera?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digitalcoup:
Yes, I think it can. I recall when trying to get Yahoo Messenger working for video calls, some genius developer modified the Yahoo app to add a "swap cameras" button. It worked, but the video was always transmitted and displayed sideways.

My fingers are crossed that it works out of the box, even if it's only in Froyo. This would get me to (sadly) downgrade from GtabComb.

Tested with ROMs:

- VEGAn-TAB 5.1.1 - No video option. Darn it.

- CM 7.0.3 (Stable) - No video option

- I wanted to try it on Clemsyn-Caulkin v5, but the keyboard was acting funky after loading that ROM. Pressing any numbers acted like I was pressing the BACK button. Weird. I might try it again later.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mike_ekim:
Skype has said that with 2-camera Froyo devices only the rear camera will work. We have only one camera, so here's hoping...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
I'm under the impression that our front camera is actually the "rear" camera according to the system.

There is only an API for one camera by default, it wasn't until Gingerbread that they started differentiating between a front and rear camera. That's why older apps work with only certain front facing cameras- the developer had to figure out how to call the front camera on each device individually since it wasn't a standard system function.

This is why ReelPortal works on our tablets- Adobe Air (which the app was written in) recognizes only the rear camera currently, so most tablets can't be used for chatting with it. But on the G-tablet (and certain Archos tablets), there is only one camera and the system recognizes it as "the" camera.

I would assume that any app which uses the camera would see our front camera as the system camera (a.k.a rear camera). That has been my experience with market apps that use the camera, at least.

I think there is some other reason the video option is disabled. I just tried installing skype on an Optimus S as well (budget android phone with only a rear camera, also running froyo), and the option is not there either.

Skype says "Unfortunately, if you cannot see the video calling settings, it means your Android phone does not meet the minimum requirements needed to make Skype video calls". That's ridiculous. It looks like someone needs to rip open the app and find out where that restriction is.

This is beyond my realm of hacking ability. Anyone with skills willing to look at this?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdoorny:
Hey I found these posts while digging through a few different threads and thought i would leave it here for other G-Tab users who are following this thread. Thanks Dishe for asking all the questions in the other forums. Unfortunately it's not looking so hot for skype video calling on the G-Tab at this point. I will keep watching patiently hoping that someday it will work.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
Yes- just to update everyone, here's what I found out.

Skype chose to use something called the NEON instruction set for hardware-based acceleration of video encoding / decoding. Problem is, not every mobile processor supports this instruction set (usually lower end hardware, like my LG Optimus). The Tegra 2 does not support NEON at all, and that is why our tablets don't offer the video option, and the ones that are hacked to work (by skipping the device check) will just crash after trying to sign in.

So, it is currently not possible for Skype to work on the G-tablet as long as they are pushing NEON acceleration.

This is the first time I've ever been upset to have a Tegra. All this time I actually wanted the G-tab BECAUSE of the high end Tegra2 for such an inexpensive tablet.

Why Nvidia left out support for this (while other CPUs include it) is beyond me, but on the plus side there is hope for the future. The Tegra2 is used in a lot of high end tablets these days, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Acer Iconia, Moto Xoom, etc... Right now Skype won't work on any of them, and I'm sure the company does not intend to alienate such a large portion of tablet customers. When they get supported, so will we.

Meanwhile, someone posted in one of the other threads about a CES demo this past year in which NVIDIA and Skype showed off HD video calling hardware using what they call "Skypekit" framework to build an app on a Tegra-based demo tablet.

So, stuff is coming folks. We just have to wait it out I guess, as there is nothing that can be done now.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mike_ekim:
I wonder if Skype does a hardware test or just a device check; maybe we can set the device ID or use some other trick to fool the software into thinking our gTabs are worthy.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
Read the post right about yours. It will crash because the Tegra CPU does not have the instruction set it needs. I've tried it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ace7196:
Thanks for the info everyone. I was hoping to surprise the girlfriend abroad with a hacked apk to get skype to work, but I guess ooVoo will have to do for now.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] droidxrooting:
I have droid charge, I use skype everyday and it is so annoying to flip the phone to see the other person. Tegra chip wise everything is clear but how about the droid charge? Can any dev find workaround for this nonsense? I am willing to support that dev and donate some beer money.

If you have architecture capable of NEON, one of those versions should let the software access the front camera.

Still no video call support

I just tested the new version of skype (version 2.5.0.108 downloaded from market) on my Gtab running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1 and there was still no video call option. I will keep playing with it and see if I missed anything obvious.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] titooo7:
You have to activate the videocall options on settings first.

I tested it on honeycomb flashback rom but as the camera doesn't work on our honeycomb roms yer the test was useful, lol.

Please check on settings that videocalls are enabled and test back on your brilliant corner roms.

However it would be nice if someone using a gingerbread rom can test it
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdoorny:
Thanks. I missed that and didn't change the settings.

When I changed the settings to accept video calls it worked. It was very buggy tho. The video came in clear, but it was rotated sideways (flipping the gtab on its side wasn't enough to fix the problem). The video I received also covered all the buttons for ending the call/muting the microphone etc. This made it difficult to end the call without guessing where the button would be underneath the incoming video. Also, when I exited the skype app while in a video call, the application closed but the video stayed on top. This made it impossible to do anything else while having a video chat going on in the background.

Overall this is a huge step forward. Video calls with audio are now working. I can't give extensive reviews on video quality, as I was only calling myself from my laptop to my gtablet and didn't spend much more time than was needed to see if it worked.

Some work will definately be needed to iron out some of the bugs before this becomes perfectly useable. For now I am happy with the progress that has been made and will wait patiently for someone smarter than me to work out the bugs.

Gtab running Brilliant Corners 1.3.1

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

After playing with skype for a little while longer, I noticed that skype is placing the video from the Gtab over the video from skype.

Let me try explain.

In a normal skype call, you have the large video from the person you are talking too taking up most of the screen. In one of the corners you have a video of yourself that is being sent to the other person. This video is rotated sideways when I hold the Gtab in landscape mode with the camera on top.

When I use the skype for android app on my Gtablet (brilliant corners 1.3.1), I get a third video laid overtop of the other two videos. The video is the same as the small one of myself in the bottom corner of the video chat, but with the correct orientation. I know that the other two video's exist (outgoing and incoming that normally exist in skype) because there is some space beside the 3rd video.

If that was confusing, let me try explain a different way: It's as if the video camera application is running over top of skype whenever I am in a video call. The 'video camera app' is persistantly on top whenever I am in a video call. It will even stay on top when I close the skype application during a video call.

I failed to notice this during my initial testing, as I had the gtab and laptop pointing at me, and failed to differentiate which video feed I was seeing.

I think the app would be perfect if the following were fixed.

-Outgoing video rotation is fixed.

-video being captured on gtab was not over top of the video's skype is recognizing.

Has anyone on different ROM's experienced these problems? I don't feel like going through the hassle of changing ROM's to test.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digitalcoup:
Finally!

Just tested it, and the outgoing video displays correctly on the destination computer. I am using Clem+Calk v5. I did a quick test call to my MacBook Pro. The sound quality sounded kind of bad, but I was right next to both devices, so it could have just been feedback. I will check again tomorrow.

I am so excited to finally have Skype with video! And I am really happy that I don't need to move to a different ROM - this is my favorite.

Update: I tested it again this morning with my family, with the laptop in a different part of the house, and the sound was good on the destination computer. My wife said the picture quality was good too. I know the low-light performance of the camera is terrible, but for daytime usage, it works very well.

Honestly, this breathes some serious life into my G Tablet. I can now patiently wait for hardware acceleration for HC or ICS. I can now do all of the consumer-friendly things I personally need to do, all on Froyo. Awesome!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jdoorny:
Did the incoming video display correctly as well? Skype was one of the original things I thought I would use my gtab for and would be worth switching ROMs for if it is fully functional on a different rom
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digitalcoup:
Yeah, the incoming video displayed correctly, too. Good quality in full screen. It looked slightly stretched horizontally, maybe due to filling our wide screens, but totally acceptable.

Same problem on stock tnt bl1.1 ,1.2 and cm 7.0.3 (bl1.1)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
Which problem you are talking about?

I tried brilliant corner and has the same problem as others reported, i.e., the local image is on top of everything else. For the latest TNT, the camera appeared not working. I will try other versions to see any of these works. Does anyone have any of br. 1.1 ones working?

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

This is the BR 1.1 version, right?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] digitalcoup:
Correct. Calk+Clem v5 uses BL 1.1. I have not tried the newer versions, which require BL 1.2.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
Thanks. I tried v5 and it works. There were a couple issues and I hope you can help.

1. It worked most of the time. However, once I initialted call form the other side, I could see the callers pretty well. However, they could not see me. If I clicked the vedio camera icon, they can see me but all I saw was myself.

2. During a call, when I tried to do something else, I cannot come back to the original coversation video. The call was still conncected but I cannot resume the video.

Do you know how to fix these problems? Thanks.

So Skype would work with VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
I tried a few ROMs for using Skype Video and bluetooth headset. The summary are as follows:

TNT Lite - bluethooth headset works but not Skype Video.

Calkulin + Clemsyn v5&v7 - Skype Video works but not bluetooth headset (pair but not connected error).

Mountain Laurel - both works but Skype Video of both sides are at a 90 degree angle.

Does anyone a build works correctly for both?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
Since brilliant corners has the overlay bug, are there any bl1. 2 roms that DO work?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] phr0sty:
Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 7 (bootloader 1.2 only) works
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
It works, but bluetooth headset has the "paired but not connected" error. Mountain Laurel is also 1.2 BR. However, the videos on both sides are at 90 degrees angle, i.e., if the you see the video image on the other side correct, the other side will see your image sideways.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] JUGOMAN:
Does not work on stock tnt bl 1.1, 1.2 nor cyanogenmod 7.0.3 ( yes, i have three gtabs)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:

I just bought one Touchpad. Its HW is good but no Android support yet. The WebOS has too few apps to be useful.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] clemsyn:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] clemsyn:

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Its a kernel so just flash via CWM and clear dalvik-cache
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
O.K. I tried the patch on the v7 beta and used v7 directly. The paired but not connected error for BT headset still existed. Also, even though the TNT lite and Moutain Laurel shows the audio service is connected, I cannot hear anything from the BT headset anyway. In any case, I cannot make the BT headset work. Does anybody has any good experience yet?

I want to use BT GPS with the G-Tab. Hope it will work, either for TNT Lite or Calkulin+Clemsyn or other ROMs.

VeganTab Almost Works

Skype v2.5.0.108 from the Android Market on VEGAn-TAB v1.0.0B5.1 -- Other party sees my video and hears me just fine. I hear them and can almost see their video but I'm bitten with the video overlay issue that others have encountered. Anyone know a fix for the video overlay problem?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
I had the same overlay problem for VEGAn-TAB.

The best for Skype video are Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combos. Both Version 5 (for BR 1.1) and 7 (for BR 1.2) work. BT headset is a problem but it is not related to Skype.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
does the Calkulin+Clemsyn rom also fix the orientation problem? Or is the video still sidways in landscape?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] twinclouds:
Calkulin+Clemsyn rom does not have the orientation problem, only Moutain Laurel does. The only problem I had with Calkulin+Clemsyn rom is for BT headset.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] DJR0D:
Nothing with the Cam is gonna ever work with the VEGAN TAB GE 7.0 i guess. Except just the Camera itself.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Dishe:
I heard that's because we don't have native GB drivers for the camera. GB brought us new camera APIs which newer apps prefer to use. But since our tablet doesn't really support gb, only apps that access it the old froyo way will work. Skype sees you have ginger and is trying to use it!

Meanwhile, the orientation problem exists in other roms, like brilliant corners as well. Good to hear it works correctly in c+c. Time for a rom change!

One probably not totally related question, but hope some one can help. If the G-Tab is in BR 1 (say c-c v5), can I restore a BR 2 backup generated when it was using BR 2 (say c-c v7)? Actually I tried that and it seems working. Will there be any problems?

Skype video works for me :)

I swtiched from TNT to Clemsyn_Caulkin Ver 8 Final 2. Works great for me! It was a complete install, since I needed to use Bootloader 1.2. The video position is sensitive. If you get 90° or 180° off, just "Back" out of Skype and reopen right side up. You should not loose connection. The incoming video is a little coarse, but it works.

Kuddos to all the developers for the G-Tablet. Many thanks.

You need to place an SD build of Android on the root of your SD card (ideally it needs to be an SDHC class 2 or faster card with 4gb or more space). It can then be launched via Windows Mobile using the file manager or an app. I would personally recommend the RafDroid 4.2 SD build as it is incredibly stable and has fully functioning camcorder and no UI graphical errors.

I would read the faqs in the SD builds forum first to get acquainted with the process, and types of builds available.
