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!!

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.

Is your phone stock? It is seeming more and more to me that stock phones are having major issues with everything. My wife had a stock LG Optimus S and its barely a month old and already having major issues with handling and weird random stuff like what you just explained. Can anyone else confirm this? I have no problems with my Zio other then wifi cutting out. That's been this particular sets only problem. I keep up on this thing, stock phones don't have the control to keep caches free and clear and so on.

Yes its all stock. And also I can't/don't know how to set my mp3 ringtones to my contacts. Like, an mp3 for one contact, a different mp3 for another contact, so I can know who is calling me just by hearing which mp3 is ringing.

The answers to your questions are all in reading around here. Not gonna spoon feed you. Assigning a custom ringtone to a specific person is really easy and if you can't do it you need a less smartphone because its obviously too smart for you.

Spoon feed? Nah nah, ever since the "upgrade to 2.2" the option to set different mp3s to different contacts is no longer showing up when editing a/any contact. So ill disregard ur lil smart a** reply. I ain't all tech-y with smartphones and stuff, I just want to set it like before the 2.2 so if I'm at work welding or playing baseball with my kids, I can hear who's calling without having to stop mid-weld or mid-pitch just to see who's calling. Yeah its probly already answered somewhere in hear but I ain't searchin n searchin when HOPEFULLY I can just ask, post, and just check back later for someones appreciated help, not some sh** like spoon feed crap. If ud rather reply with that crap and not with something helpful to what's being asked then just be an ass with someone who is already being an ass. L8Rs.

The lord helps those who help themselves. No one else will spoon feed you either. Jack Wagon. If you won't search no one is going to help you. I search and that's how I find things I need. I don't post and wait for someone else to read for me, because I'm not lazy. Get real. If you can't figure out simple things like mp3ringtones you have a phone that's too smart for you, idiot.

Dude I already answered that in the last thread you made regarding this.

Wow, this is so simple. I will go ahead and tell you how to do it. Got to your contacts, find the one you want to set the ringtone for and hit the menu button, get this it actually pops up a menu that has some options, one of which is "Ringtone" Select "Ringtone" Then it will pop another menu (tricky I know) bear with me here, choose between Android System or User Added Ringtones or Zedge or whatever other ringtone apps you might have. The next step is all up to you just pick the ringtone you want and VIOLA!!!!!! /discussion
Alright can we stop the bashing on others and get back to the subject.

Everything is koo up untill I select ringtone, after I select it, a list of stock tones (that I know I didn't put in) come up starting with default, Android beat box, sunshine, rainy day, waterfall or something like those. Never does it ask Android ringtones or user submitted tones or anything of that nature.

I have a rooted/rommed wifi-only S1 and my GF has a Blackberry 9780. She is currently overseas for X amount of time and the only way we can talk is by calling each other which is extremely expensive, or using skype which means she has to borrow a friend's laptop or android device. She has service on her phone over there, unsure of what type of plan.
I came up with the idea of using my old BB 8330 and figuring out how to use BBM or something similar on wifi-only, but it turns out that 'ol phone doesn't have wifi on it. It's too bad I sold my last BB some time ago which was an 8530 and had wifi. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm now wondering if there's an app I can use on my S1 that she can also use on her 9780 that would allow us to text and or talk. Something like BBM that doesn't require me to have service or a data plan. I imagine there's at least one app out there that would do this and also be available to BB users.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that it uses your phone number but can't seem to confirm that.
I'm pretty sure we can use KIK but it's text only. I may be getting greedy with wanting text and talk, but having both would be awesome.
Does her phone have a browser? If so, you could use any site like ebuddy to talk. Or even get on something like palringo (dunno if there's a bb version?) but there must be something alike.

She has service and we *think* her data is unlimited. She also has a wireless router at her flat so wifi helps if the data is limited/costly.
We're trying to use apps over our current methods or using something browser based mainly for convenience. Something like whatsapp or KIK would work perfectly from what I understand, but they're text-only. Not a huge problem, but if I can find text+voice that would be great. Skype is normally the answer to that question but her phone, or more specifically her service provider, isn't compatible with skype from what I'm seeing.

Then ebuddy would most likely be your answer. It has chat + voice/video and is browser based.

I went with Kik for now. It's actually a pretty cool messenger app. Clean and fast.
I haven't yet found anything that covers both messages and voice in app form other than skype which I confirmed is not compatible with her model of phone.

Preferring to stay away from browser since apps are far more convenient and because browsers always run very sluggish on my cappy for some reason.

Looks like the exact app I need and it's compatible with blackberry. Will give it a try. Thanks!
ETA: Looks like Blackberry devices can not use the VoIP feature yet but they say it will be available eventually.
Turns out you need a number for viber and my device is wifi-only. After some research I found that you can use any phone number that can receive SMS because it's for them to send you a registration PIN. I tried both my GV and Heywire numbers and haven't received that text on either one. :\
Hey guys I am using a Nexus 6 stock and rooted with no xposed or anything like that. Just recently I've noticed that (after being told ive been ignoring calls) that NY phone doesn't handle calls well anymore. Now it wasn't always like this and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. I can place a call and everything is well but when I receive one my phone app 'stops' and blocks me from being able to answer or decline the call, any idea what's going on?
Attached is what i see when I get a call andddd the apps that are using root right now.
Actually just came to me only changes that have been made besides apps updating is me making a chopped mp3 as a ringtone and another chopped mp3 as a text notification sound, shouldn't bother my calling though right?
Any help is appreciated:thumbup:

i get that same notification on my phone but i havnt had any issues about missing calls or anything. my notification is just while i am randomly using the device. i am using a nexus 6 rooted and currently running CM12 20150210 nightly rom. i have no clue what the notification is about though.
I really don't want to factory reset after getting everything the way I want it but its looking more and more like all I can do? I'd rather flash a new Rom (waiting for the CM12 monthlies) but idek if flashing a new ROM would help I have no idea what's going in, any other ideas?

I need for apps to not randomly stop working lol I haven't heard much buzz about this though so I don't think its a wide spread problem but I'm sure there are are other people with the sane problem
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I'll be honest though about the CM12 nightlys. They are actually pretty stable. I havnt had many bugs or glitches besides that phone not working one. In the past devices I have had there were more bugs with the nightly but the nexus ones are pretty decent. They are still very similar to stock OS but some addons
I just noticed this today with the latest CM12 nightly. The phone app crashes on any inbound call, the report says something about a null pointer exception. Hopefully this will be figured out with tonight's release. I kindof need my phone to be a phone...
Hey okay so turn of events it seems like my ringtone actually had something to do with it...posting this to help any future forum searchers for this problem...so after I changed my ringtone the first time, it seems that the phone app had called it Unknown ringtone, probably to show that there was a problem as the ringtone I actually chose had a name, (I guess it couldn't find the mp3 to play when it received a call and so it freaked out whenever a call came through..but since that ring tone doesn't play with outgoing calls, that ability wasn't affected? Idk all speculation
Anyway after I went into the phone app and chose one of the standard ringtones, I called my phone and it rang! And so I changed it again to the cut mp3 I wanted and it rang! I'm guessing the problem stemmed from the way the no3 cutting app applied the mp3 as my ringtone...
Not to witchhunt or anything but the app I used was called MP3 Cutter by accountlab. The app has great reviews and does was it says but just a warning if you cone across the same problem!
