The video call works amazing with the front/back camera selection feature.... but... my stock camera app (including other camera app like HDR etc) stops working once I use video call.

I have to reboot the phone. :confused:

bummer.... :(

can someone post a screenshot where the video call option is when selecting someone who is ON GTALK/ONLINE?

Umm... not sure why everyone is drinking champagne and singing and dancing. I tried to get this and it was a fail for me. I have PR1.2, I tried downloading the app from Nokia store, and my N9 rebooted before the usual "Launch" screen appeared in the Store.

N9 rebooted, so I went online in my Google Talk account, my gf went online via her laptop, but when I clicked on her contact, only the usual Google Talk button was available, no video option of any kind.

Went back to Store, it told me the download/install had an 'error' and I needed to reinstall, so I tried to download again, but I was told I could not as it was 'already downloaded'. (Annoyed deep breath). So I uninstalled the app (rebooted itself again - a bit annoying) and tried the whole thing a second and third time. FAIL.

Uninstalled this for the last time. Now my N9 is laggy, (it took about 20 seconds to open a text a friend sent me) but hope that is temporary.

I find it very weird that half the community are in this video chat party, but plenty of people are having major, major problems. Any smart people know what the F is up with this?

I don't know, but I have yet to update my N9 past PR1.1. If you are interested why, read about it here:

http://everythingn9.com/why-i-will-w...-the-nokia-n9/

You will know really quickly why I don't plan to update to PR1.2, let others complain and get Nokia to fix the problems, My N9 works flawlessly on PR1.1 at the current moment.

I have exactly the same problem and have uninstalled it for the third and final time .... Well at least until the bug is fixed.

Same here, and even worse :(
After the crash of install/uninstall, It does not have the "swipe to answer", which is a good thing most of the time. When in a call or when waiting to answer, the screen saver kicks.

If any one has any suggestion how to restore, or which files are corrupted I would love to hear it :)

Re: gtalk video call arrived to nokia store
 
I had these strange installation problems (when it says there was an error during installation etc.) twice. Uninstalled, re-installed, hated the re-boots... This is lousy, really. The whole PR 1.2 experience is a mess.

Anyway, after the third attempt to install this thing it seems to work. I can at least call myself. ;) (I initiate a call from my N9 with the Google Talk account online to my desktop PC where I'm online with a regular XMPP-account.)

The only thing I notice (I hate these small bugs) is that the smaller video on the N9 - the window that shows what the other party will see - goes black after a few seconds. The call still continues and my video is still visible on the other end of the line, I just cannot see what I'm showing to them at the moment.

Re: gtalk video call arrived to nokia store
 
for all those having problems after the installation, try the following:

-get the contact to appear online
-make a regular gtalk call to the contact
-disconnect the call and make sure the avatar of your contact shows the green "online status" dot
-now go back to the contacts app and find the contact, you'll see the video call option in the gtalk services option (will upload screenshot later for your reference)
