Will the new Skype allow for 3G calling?

The new Skype app allows for 3G calling, will this finally enable us to use our tabs as phones or is there a hangup you can see with Skype?

I can't seem to download or install it Is there a version someone can upload that will work? Its supposed to be an International version..

I have downloaded it from market after un-installing the previous version and it allows calling over 3G on my Galaxy Tab.
I have noticed that if you just install skype and don't restart your phone or tablet it will keep running in background.
Can anyone verify my theory?
BELAY THAT!!!

Skype now allows calls over 3G? It's actually useful now!

3G working great
It really has made a huge difference because it is actually useful now

Does anyone know if there is a work around to make Skype work after changing the DPI to 182?

[Q] (HELP) Cisco Jabber - Dialer Problem

Hi All.
I need some help.....
I've recently installed the new Cisco Jabber apk. I've added a custom Kernel with TUN enabled and I'm running VPNC widget to connect. Nearly everything works perfectly and I now get calls from my work desk phone directly on my DHD even when at home or out and about.
My one problem though is that when I try to make a call instead of being given the option to use Jabber (Dial from my Cisco Number) or my mobile network to make the call it defaults to the mobile network and of course doent work?
I've tried changing the settings over and over again but cant get it to work properly? I have tried 3 or 4 different Roms now thinking that it may have been a problem with one of them but still nothing works? I'm now pretty much convinced that its a Gingerbread problem but dont want to downgrade back to 2.2 until I've checked...
I have a friend that has Jabber installed on his Desire and it works perfectly.
Has anyone managed to get it working fully on their DHD??? If so can you post your Rom and Kernel details please???
Thanks

A gentle bump..... its been weeks and I'm still no further forward. Have tried several 2.3 Roms but still not been able to get it working properly? Has anyone else had any better luck than me?

Any chance I can get the default Cisco Jabber APK from you? I'd like to try it on my G-Slate.

I had the same issue, I downloaded an alternative Dialer e.g. Dialer one, and since then it is working perferctly.

[Q] Voice call via 3G with Tiamat 2.2.2

Hi Everyone,
I'm coming form Germany and own a Xoom MZ601 with 3G, Tiamat 2.2.2 flashed. Works like a charme! ...thanks to all developers for this!
In this forum I found the modded framework-res.apk to enable SMS via 3G...and it works perfect with GoSMSpro.
Now, I would like to enable voice calls via 3G, too.
Because I haven't found any suitable framework-res.apk for this, I tried to recompile it (with several versions of Apk Manager on Windooze and PengiOS ) in order to enable this feautre by editing the regarding parameter in BOOLS.XML...but at the moment there seems to be nooooo way to decompile Tiamats framework-res.apk with any version of Apk Manager. ...apktool breaks the toolchain. ...updating this piece of SW, ended up in some kind of version-conflict-nirwanas.
Could/would anybody lent me a hand?
TIA
StevieXoom

Wow man if you could do this it would be amazing. Many people tell me the Xoom has no hardware to make calls - but personally I don't see it. If it has a 3G radio that can send text I can see no reason why it isn't just a software issue stopping calls via 3G too!
Keep up the good work!

Sorry for my (stupid) post. I saw this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17578600&postcount=1"] and I also saw the link to the modified apk manager in the tutorial ...but I missed downloading it :-(
Now...all is fine!

[Q] Vivid with ICS and the Voice Dialer.

I am going to upgrade to Vivid from my Inspire 4G. But I just read that with ICS Voice Dialer no longer works and that is one thing on my Inspire 4g that I use the most. What I like to do is get the Vivid (only $49 from Att and it already comes with ICS) and root it to install the last version of GB that the Voice Dialer worked. I have been reading the crippled Voice Dialer thread and it seems that everybody is looking for a workaround to the problem but willing to live with the flaw just to have ICS. I don't really know the major difference between the GB and ICS but to me, it really isn't worth changing if I am going to lose the Voice Dialer. Has anyone else tried what I want to do? I have been reading the Vivid forum I can tell there is lot of difference how things are done to root this phone than my Inspire 4G. I would appreciate any input regarding this matter.

I happened to stumble upon a pretty good interim solution. It's called Voice Control. The free version is called Voice Control Test.
I have tried them all and this is the only one that comes close to working correctly without screwing up other Bluetooth devices.

I decided to go back to GB for this very same reason. ICS is nice and all, and, as a whole there are many changes and optimization's. But if you use sense, 3.5 is not that different from 3.6. Not only voice dialer does not work over bluetooth, there are also many apps that don't work or do not work correctly on 4.03.
After I went S-off on my phone I just decided to install an older version of android. I was afraid that the new Hboot would screw things up but I still tried it and everything seems to be working. I did have a little of an issue with the kernel so I flashed it twice, before and after installing the gingerbread rom.

Third Party Voice Dialer Apps
There is a extensive thread on this issue in the General section. This link takes you to page 4 where I discuss Cyberon Voice Commander. I had also tested Vlingo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562886&highlight=voice+dialer&page=4
At least one person tried to use a custom ROM with the voice dialer added back in. While there are differing opinions on what works best, I found Voice Commander with ICS to have the same functionality as the built-in voice dialer in Android 2.3.4. Look at the whole thread to see what others have to say.
See also this thread for another recommended app.

Cyberon Voice Commander made my BT functionality flakey.
However, I found Voice Control which works must better. I think the free version is called Voice Control Test.
Set the accuracy low and fast which is the 2 setting. Even at this low accuracy, it is really good.

One point we should make is that Bluetooth sets in vehicles and BT headsets can vary in their capabilities and ability to work with the Vivid (and other phones). While CVC works well for me, WillGill had more success with another product.
It may take some experimenting as WillGill and I did (and Vivid 2X also), but I believe you can find a product that will restore voice dialer capabilities without having to root your phone and install a custom ROM. Of course, Google should never have removed it, but that's another issue.

Just wanted to share my solution:

[Q] Should we just accept that T-Mobile wifi calling will never come to GPE ROMs?

I'll try not to rant here.
I love my HTC One. And T-Mobile. But no GSM carrier works in my condo. So I'm required to have wifi calling. And I really, really hate any manufacturer skins. I want to be able to use stock Android, and despise having to be stuck using this Sense nonsense.
Is anyone actively working on getting T-Mobile's wifi calling to work with stock Android ROMs? Or has it been determined impossible at this point?

It isn't impossible, T-Mobile released the Wi-Fi calling framework so third-party developers could incorporate it. But, very few have bothered to do so.

Why don't you sideload the Google Now Launcher, replace the HTC Stock apps with the Google equivalents on a Sense-based ROM, if WiFi calling is so important to you ??

I've installed the Google Now Launcher which is a bit of an improvement. However it doesn't give me the nice transparent statusbar with a shadow that all the screenshots show. It instead gives a semi-transparent statusbar with a border. I've installed various xposed mods to make it fully transparent but that results in some glitchy behavior (opening certain apps makes the statusbar turn white)
