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.

I have a feeling Sprint will cap the data for unlimited once this is out for a bit. Considering how many people use yahoo on a computer and then the ability to connect to PC's and iphones and other device now. Data galore. :p

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!

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!

I'm with you. I can't figure out what to do after the download. :confused:


I'm having trouble after I downloaded both links. I have an EVO phone. Was there something I had to do after the download completed? My Yahoo Messenger doesn't look any differnt.

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,

MagicT

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.

Are you trying to call a contact with an enabled camera? The option will only be available in these cases.

    Question... Does it still work the same if you move the Voice and Video Add-on to the SD Card, since it takes up 24MB of space??

    I had plenty of space so I didn't try that, give me a few min. and I will give its shot and report back...
    Edit: I can confirm it working after move to SD card with no quality or speed loss :-D
