Skype apk?

Can anyone pull the Skype APK from Market, so that us non-VZW customers can try it out and see if it works? I hate that it is exclusive. And im not sure if its considered "warez" since it's a free app, but subject to carrier exclusivity. Can anyone shed light on that latter part?

I would but I cannot find it on the Market, even following the QR link...
IDK if it is because I am on 2.1 leak. But I am on verizon.

it appears only those with less than 2.1 can get this app

Has anyone tried to load the 2.1 APK?

Anyone want to post the skype apk so we can use it?

I am on the verizon network and I rooted my phone as well. I have used fring and nimbuzz which both work with skype but fring is clearer for whatever reason. Give them a try, both are free just requires registration.

VZW Skype
I just tried to get Skype on my rooted 2.1 and failed also. Stock 1.5 phone worked fine.

Thanks to huckdogg for the link I wil pass it on

F.Y.I. verizon's integration into skype program wil not let you use skype for united states calling so if you wanted to cut out some of your minutes you cant. Try using fring or nimbuzz which integrate skype into them. Personally I use fring calls are clear.

There is a thread about this in the Themes / app section of the Eris board.... Skype will currently ONLY run on ERIS 1.5.... you CANNOT currently run the apk on a G1, even if its rooted... it will say "skype can only be used on Verizon Wireless Phones"
I'm on 2.1 V .5.5 with root and it still wont work... we gotta wait until another updated version is released
Here is the forum:

I am running eris rooted with the sense-able 0.7 rom, and I was able to install and log in to skype with no problem. This is the apk that I used: http www(dot)4shared(dot)com/file/252567137/d3bd6726/comskypeandroidverizon.html
Sorry, new user-unable to post links.

it's an application only for Three UK users.
it allows you to call any number or contact from skype through a normal gsm call.
so it doesn't use any of your data for VOIP and you can use it only when you are connected on the three network; it doesn't work if you are connected to a wifi.
hope it helps
latest version at this time [13/02/2011] attached

Thanks, alot.
I use to get from droid market, but after hard reset on my phone. can't download skype from market agian.

Try using 1mobile.com market's or download directly the apk. In the market they have 1.0.0.983, 1mobile.com 1.0.0.831

Too bad skype doesnt do video calling. My father and I are waiting anxiously. His family lives in Paki land and they only have skype and he wants to communicate them via his phone.

Is Talkbox Voice Messenger available for Android?

As mentioned above, Talkbox voice messenger is now available for Iphone only. Does anyone know if this app is available for android?
Actually there is one more similar app called "Heytell" that allows us to connect android phone to iphone which is quite good to use. However, i just dont like the way you need to invite ppl thru text sms then only the other party accept blah blah blah...
I have tried to search for Talkbox Voice Messenger for android, just couldnt get it. Anyone??

We will launch the Android version soon
Thanks for your interest. The Android version will be coming soon. Please stay connected via Facebook: TalkBox App

[Q] video calls

What software do you use to video calls?

The only ones I have heard of are Fring, Tango and Yahoo. I think both parties need to be registered with the application for it to work.
Haven't used any of them though

Skype android works like a charm on my phone and worked on my POS pandigital tablet, but again, both parties need the app. Hoping to test it on the Gtab this week.

Reelportal is only thing that will work android to pc. I will post. Apk later,search on xda. You download and install and also install adobe AIR. Then all person on pc has to do is go to reelportal.com on pc. Go to same room,fast and simple. You click on number 10 to enable webcam.trust me,if you want to save alot of time go this route,ive tried it all.

How did you get Skype to work to do video calls?

Skype does not have camera settings in present release. Only voice calls are available. Also, not all ROMs support Skype.

Doh..brainfarted on that one. I skype video off my laptop and IPAD2..... My bad. (long week)
However, skype (audio) works fine on the android platform. I use it on my Droid all the time when I'm international. Cuts way down on my phone bill.
Apparently skype is working on a camera enabled android APK specifically for the tablet market, now that most of them have camera's. I wouldn't know about the G-tab though - Tigerdirect screwed me over big time so know I have to go hunt one down while I'm on the road.....grrr...

I pulled qik apk off my tmobile MyTouch 4g and it worked just fine.

I've used Yahoo messenger with video to vid chat with the wife and kids when I travel. No issues at all.

I am trying out reelportalhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908613&highlight=reelportal and really liking it so far.

I agree with brandonpavo.
The reelportal method is the best method for android to PC/Mac right now (hopefully Skype will get something going soon, and not just for iOS ).
I tested it with both a PC and a MAC on my GTab and it worked perfect!
Now the question is how long it'll be free. (I wonder this since reelportal is posting on xda asking for testers). but until then I will be able to video chat with my wife whenever I'm away.
thanks for the tip!

Thanks for testing it out. I intend to keep ReelPortal free. That's why I even make the server available, so anyone can run their own service. Imagine getting hold of a Skype server software .
My intention is to use ReelPortal as a foundation for developing other software I had in mind, beyond the video conferencing aspect.

Very good to hear. With a little refinement of the UI, I think you have a world-class app. Now that our son and daughter-in-law also have G-tabs, my wife plans to do some video chat with our grandchildren.

Fring is working nicely on latest [CM7][WIP] Honeycomb/CM tablet tweaks - updated 03.04.2011: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002000

I don't have my gtab yet, but my wife and I used yahoo messenger for PC to phone video calls on her EVO. It worked well, and I plan on trying it out as soon as I get the gtab.

Thanks nunja. I just updated the GUI a few days ago. Hopefully it's better, but I would really like to hear feedback and suggestions from users.

New way of Video Chat

well it seems we have a way of getting video chat on our phones.
Thanks to sakisuren for this....
By using Vtok and the new gtalk from gapps it is possible.
Its based on gtalk and connects with your gmail account so no need for extra accounts!
New Gtalk Video
Flash this in recovery.
Vtok
Install as a normal apk/app
you won't be able to download this from market as it says its not compatible...but we have tried it and it seems to work.
I have contacted developer for support, so i shall see where this goes
We need this testing on wifi to wifi see if call connection does work!
happy videoing boys and girls!

Thats really great. will flash it and check today

just flashed and installed .apk. its working fine. Thanks a lot for the app

My contacts list is empty

I have tango and when i make a video call the other participant sees me upside down. Any idea to solve it?
