Where is Google Video Chat with 2.3.4 update?

**chad783** · 08-18-2011, 10:02 AM

Isn't this option suppose to be included with 2.3.4? Anyone else find this??

This new update isn't a new version of Android AFAIK, just HTC fixing stuff.

yes but If you look in the about phone > software information... It was in fact a bump to the newer android 2.3.4, as this is the listed version... as well as a new software build number.... so i would have to assume it is more then simply HTC fixing stuff if the Android version has changed.. otherwise i would expect it to still say 2.3.3

Huh, well my bad, I had no idea it was update to the newest version of Android too! Maybe check the Market for an update to the app?

Have you tried it and confirmed it doesn't work?

**svargas05** · 08-18-2011, 11:09 AM

It doesnt work... There should be a camera next to contacts you have for video chat...

Nothing.......

bummer

How exactly does this feature work... You mean contacts like in my contacts list.. should i be opening another application?

The new swype seems better. I hated the last version.

No, I meant contacts through Google Talk app...

Is this a separate App, i searched the market and it doesnt show up... I have both Google + and Google Voice installed... is it embedded in one of those... i just want to know how to do these video chats when and if they do start working :-)

EDIT: ahhh i found the talk feature, ha, was already installed.... Hopefully the video feature goes live soon

The app is already on your phone. It's "Talk"

Where did you find the talk feature

**bbarend** · 08-18-2011, 01:38 PM

Google Talk is a system application as part of Google Apps. It is already on your phone in the app drawer as "Talk" in a white cartoonish dialogue box. Irks me that the EVO 3D does not have official video chat support. That's why we root I guess.

It's interesting to see that the HTC Sensation just got updated with video chat, but NOT the evo. could this be is our carrier asking to remove the feature?

That is very plausible. Sprint seems to love them some Qik
