Description

This application will enable Google Talk Video Chat over 3G/4G. With this app you will not be restricted to wifi-only video calls with Google Talk.

You must have Video-Chat enabled Google Talk installed for this to do anything at all (It comes with Android 2.3.4 but can be loaded on Android 2.3.3).

This app will display a simple settings screen that allows you to enable or disable the restriction that Google Talk Video Chat will only work on WIFI networks. With this application and root priveleges you can control this restriction.

This application works by toggling the setting gtalk_vc_wifi_only in the database gservices.db.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★Nice app
2 ★good
3 ★I'm using CM10 but had same issue with stock JB and even though it loads and says everything is groovy, it still will not let me talk over 3G. Not sure what the problem is, but I also tried manually editing the db using an editor and it will not stay saved. Unsure what's happening here, even with latest update. REALLY want this to work though! Using ROM toolbox pro to view and SQLite editor to edit but still no joy.
3 ★I can't get root access with Jelly Bean 4.2. Would be cool if it worked, seems like it does for some people. But JB has broken things since released, so this doesn't surprise me. Hope for an update.
3 ★Was great on GB. Ever since 4.x, like others reported, every now and then the setting is lost and you have to reapply it. Looks like this project is abandoned. No updates or commits in over 6 months.
5 ★This actually does work so if you are really needing to use hangouts for biz purposes or whatever else you just have to have it enabled and rebooted once after you've been connected to wifi.. Its not perfect but if the stupid carriers such as AT&T quit being lil B-HOLES then it will have to suffice! Im sure with progress the dev of this can make this into something nice and CONVIENENT. FIVE STARS!!!!!!
4 ★Now it works maybe once, then after few reboots or simple some time gtalk disables that feature again. Until this app start monitoring that key in the database for changes it's pretty much not worth the trouble. We need an update with service that would enable it automatically without user need activate it each time. Maybe it's Jelly Bean issue? [EDIT]It seems after each time phone connected to WiFi you have to use GTalkEnabler to enable 3G GTalk Video Chat. It's VERY inconvenient.
1 ★I get a "Database Error" "Unable to access database. Is Video Chat enabled Talk installed' Hangouts is.. but Talk never has been... does that mean that the database doesn't exist unless you had talk at one point? HTC One DevEd on AT&T
5 ★Does exactly what it says and even lets me video chat using the new Google+ Hangouts app that just replaced Google Talk.
1 ★Reports "unable to find database, us gtalk installed". Gtalk is installed and phone is rooted. This app worked on my galaxy 2, not on my galaxy 3.
1 ★Too bad Gotta flash cyanogen mod
3 ★But does not always stick after a reboot very frustrating
