WiFi Skype (no minutes) - G1 Apps and Games

Anyone know if there is a version yet? the current official release uses minutes even if u are on a wifi network.

no skype yet for the g1. Skype was just released (today i think?) on the iphone so hopefully they dont take that long to get it to the g1.

Please everybody go there and ask them:

wait for Fring.

I agree just wait for Fring.
I am using the beta at the moment and it is quite good

semi workin video recorder

Its not the best yet but it is working. I have been trying each release not really expecting much and as of today it is working for me.
Prob I'm having is the video lags, but the audio plays normal speed which causes it be off sync.
It has an internaql converter to mp4, which works and the output file is playable in meridan player, but still has prob described above. When I get home tonight ill try converting in super or similar.
The name of the program is simply video recorder.
http://www.android7.org/forum/index.php is their forums. (Which I have not checked out)
Just fig id throw this out there incase anyone else was interested.
For refrence I'm on jf 1.42 rc33
or... you could always go with one of the cupcake builds and have a perfectly working video recorder
Disclaimer: Sorry, I know the cupcake builds aren't for everyone, I just couldn't resist.
cupcake builds not quite there. i tried both and didn't care for the h build at all. loved the g build, but once the market quit, i switched back to jf. would have loved to stay on g, but no market was a deal breaker.
ya i hear ya. from what ive read the 1.5 builds have come a longway. im prob gonna give one a try here tonight, but since ive only had my phone just over a month, i know whats its like in the first few days just wanting somehting stable. for thoses people, fig at least there is some glimer of a vid recorder, lol. at least till they get comfortable trying a new build...or an offical release, ha.
Or you can just wait for the official cupcake release

bt audio works for calls.
Yea I know it is but not for audio routing so you can't listen to music through it
Video playback is also still not working.
I'm running the super eclair from incubus
Well the camera on mine still isn't working after the update. It loads but when i take a picture it crashes.
I'm very new to this so I'm trying to learn as I go.
but also I'm not receiving text for some reason, everything else seems to be working fairly well.

its always going to say my touch 3G, thats just what he has the build set to recognize the phone as, it shouldn't cause any problems
i have no clue what an MMI code is so im not sure
This is day two of going back to this phone and I dont have any data connection. In two more days according to Sprint I should have 100 percent access to whats on my account. I hope I have data connection soon. If I dont have it back by then I will be posting it here. I miss my data connection!

what happened there, was your Data working before you flashed to android?
I have the Vogue and the Titan. I switched from my Vogue to the Titan due to some minor issues and now my Titan is doing the same thing. Before switching back to my Vogue I flashed the rom with the Android, liked it alot and then called up sprint and did a switch back to my newly improved Vogue. According to the sprint rep it will take upto 4 days for all provisioning to be complete. As of right now I have it all working except for the data. My phone doesnt even show a data connection and when it tries to access something via internet it says "You don't have a network connection. Ths could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. Please try again when you are connected. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Ohh yah, *2 and *4 doesnt work. I was going to call them today to see if they could speed things up but cant call them this way.

yea so i have an easy fix to your problem, flash back to windows mobile once its back an loaded access the internet, it should do some sort of dialing #777 thing then flash back to android after IE loads any sort of web page.
you should be perfectly provisioned right now the max it usually takes is like 24 hours, although i do still have nightmares from my days as a service tech provisioning those sprint Direct Connect phones
but yea so if you were in android before you activated the phone thats why you dont have data
Thank you. I relized that I would probable needed to do this but I didnt want to if there was a easier way to resolve this issue. I recall that I needed to do this when I went for stock rom to nfs 6.5 and had no internet as well. I then needed to load the 6.3 rom and then back to 6.5. This time I reverted to the 6.3 nfs rom and straight to this one.
okay so I am super new to this...i have a sprint vogue and i am running the zen-hero files from my sd card...I cannot get my caller id to work to save my life...it shows just numbers when someone calls me please help...

what about skype now .

skype blocked fring ,what shouldwe do to use skype now onmobile?
Good question, since there's no skype for android whatsoever and that skype beta lite that was floating around is a useless piece of crap.... My guess it's we are fkt.
The first thing I noticed when I switched to android was the lack of an official skype app and I can't believe that skype completely ignores android. Maybe now that android released their SDK publicly we will seen some app that will integrate skype.
Or if skype team start doing some work they release the goddam official app.

Skype turned into Verizon's *****.
I just switched to nimbuzz, it's free in the market.
Edit: I haven't tried calling on it yet, but text is fine.
Calling works, but no video support.
calling drops on nimbuzz the sec it trys to connect.
I was testing Nimbuzz; for me it works great over WiFi, sluggish over 3G/E.. Anyway, as far as I see, right now the only skype solution..

Skype!

Skype for Android has been released on the Android market. Unfortunately, the app does not officially support Galaxy S devices. So some users are experiencing difficulties logging in.
http://briefmobile.com/skype-launches-on-android
I tested the app on my 2.2 Froyo JI6 Captivate and it worked well! Woohoo!
Anyone get it working too? Any problems?
i Just downloaded on 2.1 - for some reason my phone rebooted at 40% during hte download - I have never had this happen and have had the phone since launch day.
No luck signing in right now... will try a few things and report back.
Yes, there is issues with 2.1 (it's noted several times on blog post on skype website). It does work fine on leaked 2.2.
My question though, I used market enabler to download I would guess european version of Skype (I emulated T-Mobile AT). Would that mean that I can make skype calls over 3G in US (since default install in US is limited to Wi-Fi connections only for voice calls). I don't have any contacts online so can not test it.

Hello,
I trying to use the code, but it send me to the market and says that is not available for my location, Can you put the apk here?
Thanks in advance!!
works great on 2.2

I get a bunch of FC's on mine... sucks.... COG2.2Beta-1.... Anyone with help on this issue?
-Ken
**EDIT NVM, reboot the phone and works great! Also I would turn off automatically start its under settings under profile in Skype
It does not support any LCD Density changes... So use stock LCD density 240 and it works fine... Besides stock, not sure which setting works other than 240 now....

I have ji6 2.2 and its says "We're sorry, but that Skype Name does not exist" it does so not sure what the problem is. I have tried over wifi and 3g still no luck
edit*** nevermine it works fine
Works just fine for me. About time we got Skype. The beta sucked.
It's useless in US since works only on Wi-Fi. When I have WiFi connection I usually have better means calling other people then Skype.
Works fine on 3G for me. What are you talking about?

Voice calls? Chat works over 3G.
This is documented limitation for users in US. Call only over WiFi not 3G. No such limitation in other countries. Wondering how they are figuring out where you are.
I haven't been able to test out the voice call yet as nobody is online on my contacts, but chat works. There has to be some kind of a bypass for that 3G limiter...
Sorry for the double post, but I think this may be of interest to everyone. Just found it over in the main android section.

Skype on 3G for US
Edit: It doesn't seem to work on 3G at all even with the modded apk. I just tried to call my sister from the bathroom asking for more TP.
I keep getting can't sign in errors, might just be that I'm on a stock rom though.

As are most people. Like myself. It works just fine if you have 2.2
No video calls?

Working just fine on 2.2. Didn't work at all on 2.1 though as stated. Skype's site doesn't allow you to download it though (phone is not supported message). Getting it from the market works fine though on 2.2.

Can't even sign in using that.
I do use the skype beta for text chat on my captivate, which is all I need as I have many skype contacts and we text chat often.
Why would it need access to my personal information (contacts...)! No thanks.

[Q] Android on Diamond, which version to use? (specific help)

Hello every one.
I'm the proud user of a HTC Touch Diamond. It has served me well since day one, and now i want to make it even better.
I need the phone to work. And i need Android (read: want). So i'm asking everyone which version do you find more stable. What i need:
Phone. Must work. Must work well. Cannot wait 20 seconds for the device to wake up (while ringing) to show me who's calling me. When i decide to pick up, the other guy gives up, or the call os forwarded to voice mail.
Wifi is a must, that sim has no data plan.
Battery, though superficial due to a 2400mAh bat, it takes alot of calls and sms's.
Market. Must work.
Camera is a bonus, helps here and there.
The rest is rest. i don't need bluetooth, GPS, or anything like that. Anything from 2.1 forward is enough. So... i'm open to suggestions.
I did this same question of the kaiser section, and was greeted with 2 very stable versions. One Eclair and one Froyo.
froyo b ver 6
it is very stable
and the 3d performance is better than the old version
url http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970476
I'm getting 21FPS (diam100) and 20.2FPS (raph100) with NeoCore with no overclock and camera+camcoder works great
I'm currently using that one.
Though "snappy", its quite slow. Market is a pain. (Wifi)
Takes too much time to wakeup and show the screen (i actually have to unlock to see the screen).
Looking for something else maybe. 3D isn't a must.
I've got three different Android ROMs form different developers and the fastets and most stable ROM would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907509
additions like camera or WiFi works fine for me.
