Skype

I came from the tp2 and skype is one the apps I used a lot. I went to the market and I couldn't find it, then went to skype site to download it and they don't support this phone yet.
Have someone found a way to get skype?
Thanks in advance

Give it time 2-3 months or maybe one more beta, it is still in pretty deep beta. But no doubt the Epic will get priority because it is designed for specifically that. I would search the Skype forums.

Nevermind. I had a brainfart. I think you might find it in evo, same section as this.
Looking to swype skype?

Thanks I just looked skype forums. I guess they want to implemente videochat on it, thas why is not there.
I'll look in the evo section, thanks!!

I download it and it give me a messange, the content is not supported on this phone. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need something else in order to install this?
Thank you.

Right now there's no real way to use Skype with an official client on the Epic without a lot of work, but you can use Skype through Nimbuzz, which is free on the market.

IM+ worked perfectly on my blackberry the last 4yrs and they have a droid client free & paid. But, it doesnt appear to connect to Skype since I have been trying it.
Besides, the droid is a rough beta compared to the look, feel and behavior of the rim version....
I believe the Verizon exclusive partnership with Skype is holding things up at this point.
Is there any stable Skype chat 3rd party client out there, i can wait for video chat by stressing Qik...
PeAce!

Thanks dude, keep us updated cause I want it bad also and it could be a big block buster item that will propel this system.
Has anyone here got Google Talk to perform video chat on the phone?
We could only get video and no sound between two laptops yesterday with GT.

IMO.im allows skype texting functionality.

Skype works... google skype lite beta 1.0.0.5... verizon paid for exclusivity is all. Bu the old beta build still works on all phones =)

Thanks I just install it but man that version is horrible I can't even call my contacts nor use my skype credit, hopefully skype will hurry up and get it back to work on all androids.

[APP] "TV SHOWS FREE", suck it hulu

The new TV app called "TV SHOWS FREE"
So I just came across this nifty little app that apparently has on demand episodes of a very very large volume of shows. Little ad box at the bottom of the screen, but acceptable for just TV shows here and there.
WiFi recommended. Maybe if we had real 4G it wouldn't be necessary...
http://www.appbrain.com/app/tv-shows-free/org.apps.PVRViewer
Surprising it has almost all the shows and with good quality as well.
here is the APK

sometimes for tv out to work you must switch the yellow and white cable, depending on who made it.

It doesnt seem to appear in the market

Great app! Been watching "who's the boss" and "my so-called life" episodes all day!

Can someone who downloaded the latest version post it here cause it is not on the market anymore.

Just posted it in your other thread.

Scrabble

Somebody please get this up and going for the xoom

I was about to side load it....see how that goes.
XOOM

Why bother? It's a POS compared to WordFeud.

I was just going to install this when I noticed the app doesn't install on Xoom. I must say this makes me really disappointed and brings a huge spotlight to splintered status of Android.
That said, I find it hard to blame Google solely. I much rather blame EA. Its not like they couldn't have made the app work on both platforms.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I side-loaded it. It works but not great. It is 1/4 screen and has graphical issues in the unused space. The music sucks too. I haven't gotten to play a game yet but the game does seem to run and the HC3.2 full screen trick will probably handle the screen size issues.

Can you post a link to the APK, I would like to give it a go even though it apparently only partially works. Or send to [email protected] Thanks!

I loaded it on my TB, haven't tried moving it to my Xoom yet...
It is disappointing that this new Free version doesn't support "local" play only... or play against the "computer."

Anyone get the apk out?

That would be warez, unless of course you are asking for the trial version. The trial version does suck a$$ though. See below.

+1 It is pointless for me, i just wanted to grab a quick me vs computer game to try it before i buy it.

There was a free version of scrabble. So that would not be warez. Anyone know where to find the apk in the file system? I can pull it from my TB or tab.

Skype video chat?

Does Skype work with the front facing camera for video chat? I'm thinking of getting the D3, but have heard mixed responses as to whether skype works...

There's no video option on my installed Skype app. Disappointed.

Theres many options besides skype.

Do tell.
How can my wife and I (both new D3 owner's) video chat with each other?

After today's experience I am not so sure. I connected with a buddy of mine that has an iphone 4 on AT&T....we were both on wi fi....he has 15 down and 15 up....I have 50 down and 50 up.....it was super choppy.
But....when I connected to my wife's D2G it was perfect....but we were also connected to the same exact wireless. Would be interested in testing with someone else farther away that is on wi fi and then again on 3g to post actual review of Tango on the D3.

still cant believe we dont have google talk video. That was like half the reason i bought the phone!

Ok! Good news everyone
Skype video works on D3 now, but not the one verizon or the marketplace provide.
3 simple steps to have skype video:
1. Download the apk file of Skype version 2.0.0.47 from the internet
2. "Clear data" for the existing skype app on your D3 (in the app management)
3. Install the apk file and enjoy skype video on ur spanking new D3
I must say, the video quality is a lot better than my Thunderbolt. It is probably because of the 2 cores
Now, if only Google took itself more seriously... sigh!

i have found yahoo messager to be my choice for video chat.

@triggerftu
I have found skype offering better framerates on my D3, compared to yahoo messenger. No clue if it is the case across the board or just my D3. I would prefer gtalk video, though, since most of my friends use that. So, I guess in the end it all comes down to who u want to chat with and what they use

Same Problem here
I'm having the same problem here. I am able to see the user on the computer, but they're not able to see me. I performed several re installations and cleared the cache multiple times, is there something I am missing here? Not quite sure how it is working for some and not others.

[UPDATED] [APP] Netflix 360, Honeycomb optimized (from HC enabled market app)

I'm getting tired of the slow scrolling and choppy behavior of apps that shouldn't be. Here is the Netflix app, latest, I think, that I modified to be optimized for Honeycomb. Basically just improves overall app performance.
Enjoy. (attached)
* (You will probably have to uninstall your current Netflix app to try this)
* Updated to Netflix version (360) from the market, released for Honeycomb officially on 10/19/11.

cant install...but I can download it...

You might have to uninstall the old version first.

Works great! (Yes, I did need to uninstall the previous version.)
Thanks!

app works, is very smooth on my Xoom. Thanks

Can someone confirm
I tend to trust the members of XDA quite a lot, however, I'm not going to blindly install this apk. Can anyone confirm that it works?

I'm scared to login as well. The login bars arent misaligned like the account stealing Netflix APk reported to be floating around but I'm still nervous. Has anyone tried this? I'm sorry I'm questioning your work, it probably is fine and a great job done, you just can't be too cautious these days.

You know what's legit? The actual market provided app. It's easy enough to get the APK from a backup on a device that supports it.

If you installed any netfix apk on the xoom then let me make you just a little more paranoid! Did you get the other from the market? I didn't think so.......hmmmmm wonder who got you login from that version? Lol!

Actually I did get it from the Market. Came off my Droid X2.

Not you! The people that got from XDA thread! Like me! OMG someone may be watching Netflix with my info!! No j/k. The app is fine. Don't know why everyone is so scared these days. I locked my CC with Netflix so you can't just go in and change it with the app or online. Have to have more info to make any changes.

If you look through all of mrschmitz's posts on xda you will see he also optimized a nasa app for honeycomb and has contributed some dev work on multiple other things.
Always good to be paranoid with this sort of thing, but I would say it is probably safe.
I am surprised he hasn't chimed in and defended himself yet though.

Confirmed working. i just uninstalled, didn't bother trying without uninstall. Thanks!

Installed it. Video quality seemed to be better. Cam on here to read the comments and got paranoid at removed the app. Waiting for confirmation that this is ok, although i already logged on with the new app so if it was fake it would be too late right?

Doesn't work in Canada just like every other apk out there. Prompts me to update and says visit there bull**** website. A tablet and no Netflix...
