How do you add friend on QIK<\/a>? Follow that link and you will soon be teaming with other Evo owners!<\/p>\n So – you have the right app – you have confirmed your phone number, you have friends in QIK – finally, we are off to the races. One thing you may notice right away is that QIK has decided that in order to deliver high quality video and audio in a video chat – they needed to impliment a push-to-talk method. In other words – while you won’t have to push any button in order to be heard – the person you call with see a button on their end that they are required to hold down while they talk to you. As long as they are holding down the button – you can hear them but they cannot hear you. As I write this post – I’m still waiting on the verification process. I sent my email to the support email and I’m awaiting their response. As soon as I am able to experience the QIK’ening myself (old Highlanders reference there) – I’ll let you know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

*** Update *** You cannot verify your phone with Qik if you have SMS from short codes blocked on your phone. If you have ever called Sprint because you found a charge from a text message – they most likely blocked SMS from short codes. Qik is working on a solution where you do not need this verification step – but if you are like me and don’t like to wait around for somebody else to solve your problem – call Sprint and have short codes unblocked. You can always re-enable the block after you verify with Qik! *** Update *** I’ve covered the QIK failure in a prior post – but I want to cover actually getting Qik to work. First – you need to go download the app from the Market… go ahead, I’ll wait… No – sorry, I should be more clear – you need Qik Video. I’ll wait… Doh! My bad… you need Qik Video for the HTC EVO. Seriously – I’ll wait… <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/sackrider.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/QIK-Settings.jpg\" "\\"QIK-Settings\\"")
