[Q] skype

Hello,
I got the Samsung Captivate phone from AT&T but I cannot get Skype on there, it is only available for Verizon android phones, but is there a way to get Skype on my AT&T phone nonetheless?

I think its only available on 2.2...so that might be your problem.

Yep gotta update your rom. I would suggest andromeda personally, its my favorite so far

I was wondering the same thing. I guess I'll try with my EVO's number

Working great for me!! What I noticed though...is my buddy installed tango on his iTouch. I had to make sure the email he registered with was in my contact list. Than Tango automatically showed me he was available for a call. 3g was great!

My xoom has a phone number so maybe i can try that one.

I was able to connect but the person on the other end was upside down....any fix?
Edit: nevermind, the issue was on the other persons end.

Skype Updated to include video chat!

You can now video chat on certain phones (Nexus S included)!
It works phone to phone, phone to iphone/ipad, phone to pc!

Apparently the apk has been hacked to work on some other phones apart form the official ones.
Anyone know how to hack this for the NS4G ??

Dunno about anyone else, but update 2.0.0.47 STILL does NOT give me video calling on my Nexus S 4G on Sprint.

Same. If you have a backup of a stock ROM try it on that.

I tried today and it worked very well!

I can confirm NS4G working with this version. Market version does not work. I'm on CM7.1 nightly 39 with netarchys 1.3.5 cfn. However, I HAD to lower it to 1300 MHz. 1400 MHz will freeze video after 5 sec. Just like gtalk video.

Just tried this out today and the quality was terrible both sending and receiving. Anyone have different results?

Has anyone used the Nexus 7 as a full blown Mobile

Hi. I was thinking if the Nexus 7 3G would be good as a replacement for my mobile phone. I have seen a few demos on youtube and obviously you would need a bluetooth hands free "In Ear" type, but what about whatsapp, sms messages, emails, etc does all this work well ?. Just interested to hear back from people. I think the battery would drain quick having to have data connected all the time as well as bluetooth for phone calls. Any feed back would be great. Thanks.

There is no way to use as a phone yet, as it cannot receive true mobile calls like a phone can. Read the thread on this in the N7 3g dev section. Sms is working. For whatsapp, look in the themes and apps section of this forum, as there are install instructions. All the info you are looking for is already well documented and readily available right here in the n7 forum.

I just got myself a refurbed N7 on it's way... looking to do similar, but just for wifi.
From what I understand, since google voice and chat can pretty much replace a phone completely on my PC, I assume you should be able to do the same on a N7?
I tried to get google chat to work as a phone on my EEpad trandformer, but for that device there are serious hacks involved to get there.

for whatsapp, use your n7 and go to the whatsapp website and download directly from there ~ It works for my n7 ^^.

I was hoping to user my T-Mobile sim with Vonage Mobile until I found out T-Mobile block data for this device (for prepaid sim). I will have to try Go Smart next month to see TMobile also block it through that. I don't want to use Straight Talk due to their throttling.

I use Viber instead of WhatsApp
Since not everyone is happy using non-free apps, I instead use Viber on my N7.
Just as with WhatsApp, you have to go to their website to download the apk, since it is marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Also, you can not have it active on your mobile and your N7 at the same time. Which is the same as with WhatsApp.
I also couple Viber with MightyText, so any regular SMS I get on my mobile, I can respond to on the N7. Of course, I can also send new SMS from the MightyText app on the N7, or from my computer.

Been there, done that.

What is everyone's opinion on how the call quality is using 3g I have good and bad.. a lot of echo problems and such? BC I have thinking of doing this as well but I was considering the n4
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app

It depend on the app you use. I use Vonage and I don't get echo issues like with Google Voice's clients.
Also I just sucked it up and go with the T-Mobile Mobile Broadband $35/month for 3.5GB. Will just disable data on my Galaxy Nexus since I only use it to make calls now. But I also found tethering 3G from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 7 with the screen off doesn't use up much battery and can go for hours.

But can't you only call people that have vonage as well? I don't of anybody really that I would that has that... so it wouldn't be effective

I think PlayStore doesn't let you download Vonage on the Nexus 7, you'll have to download it from a phone then sideload it on the Nexus 7.
Using Vonage, can make free outgoing call within USA and Canada, it will use your actual phone number you activate the app with. It however do not receive incoming calls, unless the other side is also using Vonage.
Since the Nexus 7 do not have phone feature, when you activate Vonage on it, don't put in the "mobile number of your Nexus 7 sim card", put in your regular phone number, when you make outgoing calls it will display that number you activate it with to otherside, that way people can call you back to your phone.
Or if you want to receive incoming calls via Google Voice apps, then activate Vonage with your Google Voice number. I find that during activation process, when Vonage tries to sent an SMS text message with activation code to the Google Voice number, nothing will happen, but then you can select the option to receive the code via call, then shortly you will get a voice recording of the code if you log into your Google Voice account.
I like Vonage more because of better call quality and machines will recognize number inputs, which tend to fail through Google Voice's apps. Also Vonage allow free video calls now if both parties use Vonage app, though yet to be updated on iPhone version I think.
PS. You get $1 to your account when you invite someone and they download it through the link.

Line2 works great for texts and phone. It's only $9.99 a month.

Google Voice or Skype is very helpful to do the voice message.But for replacing the real phone, maybe we should expect the next generation supports phone calling just like the Asus padfone.

I have the wifi only nexus. I use a wifi mobile hotspot for Internet. Call quality is good. Texting works great as well.
I work in the middle east and use line2 to keep in touch with friends and family in the US.
I've used Google voice in the past but call quality is not as good as line2. Line2 is well worth the money.

I tried yelp, it seems to be buggy and not working correctly but that might be because I live in sweden. We have swedish yelp so it should work I guess.
It might also be because I'm using custom ROM called liquidsmooth in my galaxy s3, yelp doesnt work always when my screen on my phone is off, so it could be some powersaving feature that turns off GPS and stuff in that ROM, I'm not sure.

It's a known issue. Foursquare doesn't seem to be working at all, and some people have Yelp working intermittently. Neither work for me at all, and never have. I've e-mailed Yelp and Foursquare's tech support departments but it's been months and have yet to receive a response.

no dice here on FoursSQ.. any one heard from the devs ?

Foursquare was working for me while it was in beta. Now it doesn't. Ha

I can confirm - It doesn't works at all (Czech rep.)

These apps are highly recommended in most reviews..surenly will get updated soon.
Tell me though - do they have much content outside the USA?

In Czech Republic has over 48 thousands active users (3/2014) and still growing, which is no so bad :good:
See at http://www.gosquare.cz/4sq-stats-cz/

Last I checked I got the error that Yelp couldn't access location on rooted, stock galaxy s3. All location settings were good and other Pebble apps a day watchfaces could get weather.
