My app works fine for chat but not video. I can see myself on my phone and it rings on my end if I initiate the call, but the call doesn't go through on the other end. On my computer, I can't initiate a video call to my phone.

I've tried creating new logins (both yahoo), reinstalling, restarting (both phone and computer) and no luck! Weird thing is when I add a contact from my phone, I don't get it on the computer. But if I do it from the computer, it shows up on my phone. Text chat will go through both ways fine. Any suggestions?

Edit: I've tried different pairings of yahoo email addresses (yahoo, ymail, rocketmail) and I was able to initiate a video call from both my phone and my computer using both email addresses, but still can't connect. If I log in with yahoo address #1 on the computer, I don't get the video call option. If I do with #2, I do. I just don't get it. But either way, I can't connect. When I can initiate the video call, I see myself on both the phone and computer, but it won't connect. Help!

Works surprisingly well on WiFi (DSL) and 3G!!

Would be nice if it supported landscape mode... Especially on the EVO so that we can use the kickstand.

this is the first time I've logged into my Yahoo account since november. Almost a year. And they de-activated my account. Oh-well, I use gmail anyways, but this will be fun for video chats to my friends with iphones.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Now isn't this the reason Sprint made the $10 premium data fee mandatory for the HTC EVO as well as all 4G capable phones? If they cap data or weasel out of there original true unlimited data on the HTC EVO 4G, then that would seriously piss off every single sprint customer who is paying an extra $10 per month for the "premium data" features that the HTC EVO provides. That would also be FALSE advertising and fraud by charging customers for something they do not provide... oh wait Sprint is already doing that!

People are paying the additional $10 per month regardless if they have 4G coverage or not. Mabe in the future Sprint might change from unlimited to a capped system but they would have to fulfill current two-year contracts and eliminate unlimited and advertise data plans as being capped. Very unlikely... Sprint network is nowhere near full capacity and can handle the data conditions they've anticipated.

Thanks for sharing this info along with the files OP!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
That would-be too awesome! But remember this yahoo IM app was developed for a phone without a kick stand. I'm betting Yahoo will add support for the EVO and the new HTC phone that also has kick stand sometime in the near future. It would bring back a lot of users to yahoo who have not been using yahoo for quite a while now, including myself. Are you listening Yahoo? You should be!

Did you guys figure out what to do. Its no different than downloading a file in windows and opening up my computer and running it. Make sure you have some form of a file explorer Astro ES Explorer AndExporer etc... then go to your downloads folder and click on the two yahoo files you have downloaded. It should install and there you go...

Hope this helps

Hi guys,

The EVO 4G is not available in Germany due to different UMTS specs.

Question: Has someone made experiences with both Android devices Samsung Galaxy TAB or Samsung I9000 Galaxy S as they have both front face cameras build in.

Thx,

I have tried numerous times to install both apks and I have gotten the same result. I cannot see the video camera option like I see on the screenshots. I am using both apks found on this thread.. can anyone help?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fitzbarrientos:
Works perfectly! Tested calling PC to Evo, and Evo to PC, both worked. Video quality very good over WiFi.

First time it wouldn't connect. Phone froze up on ringing, couldn't answer, couldn't cancel, had to remove battery to reboot. After that, had no problems whatsoever.

This is indeed, a great step forward. I can't wait until other applications start using the video call capabilities of devices such as the Evo.

Thanks to the OP.

Noob questions

Ok,

I used dropbox and it worked like a charm to install... installed messenger first then the addon... then moved it to the SD card...

program opens fine...

I have never used messenger (ever) but I do have a yahoo account for a yahoo group i belong too... so far so good...

but when i open the program it opens to what looks like an IM interface with a 'Tap "New" to send a message'

so i tap 'new'

a whole list of 'contacts' show up... since i'm a noob i'll ask a stupid question... what contacts are these? (my phone?) or did Yahoo go out and grab any contact i already had that also has a Yahoo account?

each has the 'facebook guy' but no actual photo... then their name in bold (some just have a phone # with no name) then a grayed out 'sms' box

I entered a few letters and populated my daughter's contact then clicked on it i get a new screen that says 'offline' and a entry box at the bottom to send a message... so far nothing that looks like making a video call...

below the entry box is a icon for smileys and next to it a small box with '139' in it... (maybe her number in my contacts?) then next to it is 'sms' again

at the top right is an 'index card' icon that when i touch it brings up her details - which is her phone number and nothing else - her number is a hyperlink but does not do anything if i touch it...

now, when i hit menu i have the following options:

Video icon (which is grayed out -but then again my daughter is 'offline')

Clean icon (which i assume is to clear previous conversations?)

Ignore User (with a 'red flag' icon)

Mail (when i click it is says 'sorry mail is currently unavailable')

Options (gives me 'group offine contacts' 'notification sounds' 'Ignore list' and 'about messenger')

so, as a noob, i did this in case there are others so primitive in their understanding that maybe this would help someone at least know if they were even in the same galaxy ;>)

but, can you seniors let me know this simple thing...

in order for the video icon to be active does at least one person in my contacts have to be online? and if they are do they have to have video conf available for me to initiate a video call?

or does it work like this: as long as the contact i choose is also online then I can make a video call?

and since both daughters have the same phone as me: HTC Dinc 2.2 shouldn't we be able to do video calls phone to phone as long as they have a yahoo account?

also, it has been mentioned several times that 'I tried 3G and it worked okay blahdeblah then tried Wifi and it worked blahdeblah'... another noob question.. how did you swap from each platform? did you just turn one off and by default the other kicked in? or something else?

hope this didn't really wear you out too bad... thanks,
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evodaniken:
Very cool!!! Thanks so much. Works flawlessly on my Evo (Froyo). Tested both on Wi-Fi and 3G. 3G is actually good in my area but seemed a tad bit slower than Wi-Fi. Was looking for something like this for a while and Phone-to-PC Qik option is just bad quality. This is much better.:)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ceger:
I can get it all installed just fine, but it will not work with any PC for video. If I start a video call, then the ring/call never gets sent to the PC user. If the PC user sends the call, my phone gets the ring, but once I accept the screen is blank and the PC continues to ring, never acknowledging that I answered.

Anyone experience this issue? I am running on the EVO.

Evo / Epic 4G - No video

Hey, I'm trying to video call in between my Evo and my wife's Epic. Both front facing cams work, but I can never see video from the other phone. Tried over Wi-Fi and 4G. Tried signing in and out of both phones, tried rebooting, still can't get it to work at all. Also, when I call my Evo from the Epic, I never get notified on the Evo that a call is coming in. Only works when I call from the Evo to the Epic.

Has anyone been able to get that working?

Today I'm seeing a strange popup when I try to log into Yahoo messenger on my EVO. It says:

"A mandatory update for Messenger to version 1.1.0 is available. You must install it in order to continue using the application."

Then the only options are 'Install' and 'Exit'. If you select Install, it takes you to mobiledl.zenfs.com and downloads a file called 'im_3884.apk'.

Has anyone installed this? Does it work? Is it a virus? Why isn't it a yahoo or market address?

It looks like this was also happening with the Yahoo Mail app, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8829508

That post has a link to android central, but it only discusses the issues with Yahoo Mail and not Messenger: androidcentral.com/yahoo-mail-android-requiring-market-update

It does look like Yahoo confirmed that this is a valid site to download from though? Hrm...

So I installed it and it appears to work just fine. Tested with another video call EVO to PC and it was fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] matthewjulian:
Confirmed that the new update WILL NOT remove video chat, I suggest that everyone download it and see if there are any fixes, I apologize for not being able to figure out the galaxy s issue, I had a friend with one helping and we came up empty handed, I think at this point its up to yahoo!

This may not be the ideal fix but it worked.

Install yahoo messenger from the apk in the first post and login

Open a chat session with someone and click video chat, it will prompt you to install the market update, don't install it

keep messenger running and now install the second video apk from the first post

Return to the still running messenger click video chat again and your in!

Unfortunately once you exit you will have to repeat the steps above to make it work

That's strange that so many of you are now having this problem. I downloaded the original im and video add-on apks that were provided, and they were working fine on my EVO. A few days ago I got that message that forced me to update yahoo IM, so I did it and now it's version 1.1.0.3884. After readingt all your posts, I just tested it from phone to pc, and pc to phone, and the video still works great. I guess for now I'm one of the lucky ones...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dejavu6uy:
Fix 2

After a successful video chat and without signing off but exiting the application via back button. Tapping on messenger again it will ask you to install version 1.1.0, but you are still signed in, so log onto to that yahoo messenger account on your pc and it will knock you off of the phone by giving you a notification on top of the phone. Now pull down the notification and tap back in to bypass the update message. If you are near a pc it's fast way. I hope a permament fix will be out soon.

If you have another launcher like ADW or Launcherpro, then click on that once it launch click back to Sense, then go click on yahoo messenger icon and you'll bypass that annoying update request and auto sign in.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dahauss:
Thats a different version # then I have after the update on my EVO 4G. I HOPE someone finds a fix.. is there any other program for phone to PC video chat that works good??

The other issue is that with the ORIG Video CHAT ADD-ON I had 21% free on my EVO. This was with moving the video add-on to the SD card. Now, I installed the update and the internal memory is down to 16% so I bet this update isnt either a REAL UPDATE since it wasnt from a yahoo site or it doesnt allow it to be on the SD card... Im uninstalling until a fix comes out....
