If your phone is rooted, search for "Enable Video Chat over 3g/4g" in the market & install , that will enable voice/video chat on 3g/4g on Gtalk.

Good luck!

I can't get that app to enable video over 3g. Im rooted but on stock. When I try to enable it errors out and asks if I have the video version of google talk. Any thoughts.

Do you mean you could not get "Enable Video Chat over 3g/4g" from market? Once you install ( would prompt for root access), you should be able to use Gtalk over 34/4g on stock ROM too, it works for me.

Not sure if this helps, but I found this in another thread and it worked for me.. I'm sharing in case there are others like me who try to minimize the number of apps they have..

No, i was able to download the app from the market, but upon enabling it, it would error out.

I went around it by manually changing the wifi-only string from true to false.
