Yahoo Messanger with video! Download from this thread now!!!

[matthewjulian]

Ok guys, I know I have been pissed that iCrap got this first, well I downloaded the leaked MyTouch rom today for the sole purpose of grabing this...and it WORKS GREAT!!
I haven't got the video from Evo to Mac working yet(im sure i am missing something simple), but the Evo to Evo works great, better than Tango/Qik/Fring. It has video and audio at the same time(cough..Qik...cough) and works well over 3G(lowest confirmed functional 3G is -99db, of course 4G&WiFi work great) , wife and I have been playing calling each other from the next room

So if you wanted it and good 'ol Steve J. pissed you off here it is

Several people have asked about battery life and move to sd support,I can report moving to SD has had zero effect on performance, I personally have not seen an effect on battery,NO 100% AWAKE TIME(cough...Tango...cough) it has not showed up yet on "whats using the battery" in our settings->about phone->battery menu, I have made about 23 video calls now over the 2 days. Remember guys, this is a community and these are just my experiences, lets all share our experiences and help out.

Use a file explorer app, dropbox, or bluetooth folder to install to your handset and I would recommend updating your PC client to the latest version.

Oh, make sure you install both, just the add on for video and voice with the current version of messenger on the market WILL NOT WORK, and before anyone screams warez!! this IS free.

THE PEOPLE YOU ARE CALLING MUST ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OPTION ON THEIR END, you can not call your yahoo account on your phone to your account on the computer(if you are signed in on one you are signed off the other), reported issues with ATT yahoo accounts....

So does this allow me to video chat with Yahoo from my Evo to someone's PC? That would be epic

 

[matthewjulian]

That is the main reason I wanted it so bad, let me say first that I am using a MacBook Pro, I have not gotten the feature to work for me, but mac video apps are funny to set up, I am working on it, the reason the released it was to do both(phone to phone AND phone to computer) so it IS possible
Even so, just the better functionality of phone to phone is worth the download IMHO.
Trust me when Skype pulls their heads out of their collective ass's I will use that, but for now video Skype, as we all know, is verizon only :-(

 

[ChrisAC84]

Ok cool. Thanks for the heads up, and quick response. I installed it anyway, now I just wish I knew someone else with an Evo to test it out lol. Will be keeping my eye out for that Evo to PC news

 

[crookedtrails]

Actually, I don't think Skype even has video on Verizon either. It was just an agreement to make the Skype voice program exclusive on Verizon phones. hxxp://phones.verizonwireless.com/skypemobile/

 

[dwertz]

Awesome. Thanks. I tried it from Evo to PC and it works. I think it may have issues with the Mac. I will try that later to confirm the OP on the Mac.


Ok for the fun of it I tried Evo(yahoo) to PC(MSN messnger) and No Go.

 

[matthewjulian]

[matthewjulian]

No reported battery usage after a few hours of installing and using, I will keep watching

 

[ballerx43]

Is anyone else having the issue I am?

When I run the video chat feature it goes to a screen where it says" Flip" or" end call" but then it goes directly back to my buddy list

 

[matthewjulian]

Nope, that comes up when you touch the screen(instead of tapping the menu or back button), sorry, try calling some different people it has worked great so far I have made about 13 video calls

[antianalog]

I could not get video chat to work from phone to pc. Messaging worked great though

 

[Jeremiah239]

I can't get Video chat between my EVO and my Mac to work, but it works with my virtual pc running Win 7 I think Yahoo needs to update the Mac program.
