Hi all,
I would like to know if skype is finally operatable for samsung galaxy s I9000. even just without video.
If it is, the last i have tried it wouldnt log in and crash. is there a way to make it work?
thanks
I've been using it for months, video doesn't work but chat and voice calls worked fine.

program works fine. it just that it drains the battery of my phone to fast...
I am using it for the past 3 months. I guess that u had problems with ur older rom.
No issues with 2.2 ,2.2.1, 2.3

I am using it since november with no major problems...(status bar won't slide down sometimes).. There is no option for video call, but I am pleased just with voice call.. If you need video call , search market for "tango video calls"

is there any skype for android with video call ?
Try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qik.android
Although the camera display seems to be rotated...
EDIT: sorry wrong thread
Skype works perfectly for me^^
Do you still have to kill it in the task manager or is there an option for closing the app now?

Was just being an idiot. It is just that the OP said "last time I tried" where the app has been working for months.

I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I am with weatherbug. It seems as if it no longer is updating and the specified intervals and you have to go in the app and manually refresh it. Anyone else having this issue and if you are have you found any solution to it?
Same problem, no response from developers...
Sad situation, nothing we can do but complain.
Mind started randomly doing this after the last update too.
Most of the time it works properly, but some times I will check it and it hasn't updated for a day. It's weird because the thing used to be flawless.
I was also having this issue randomly not updating I unistalled it
Were you guys trying both accuweather and google? I know google isn't as reliable as accuweather with this app.

Its not the weather, its The app that is not updating. The support contacted me and told me to check if any task killers are killing the app and if that doesn't work to reinstall. Well I don't use a task killer and reinstalation doesn't work. I've also noticed that if the phone is asleep for a long time with no network activity it doesn't update but if your using the phone it does update on its own

Could be gingy. I know that for example the Sony Ericsson LiveView cannot connect via BT to it as of now, so it would not surprise me. Have you notified the dev if their app is indeed gingerbread compatible?
I recall that when Froyo went live or ROM flashable for me, lol...Weatherbug had similar issues until they updated the apk.

Make sure you didn't move the WeatherBug app to SD Card (via Froyo method, a2ext should be fine) because that will kill the service quickly.

It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?
danka
where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

Are you using it? And is it version 1.0.0.983 like on the market? ppl say that video calls are not working.
Does anyone here have a fixed apk?
Does the Galaxy come with a version of Swype preinstalled??
If not then it would be considered as warez and therefore should not be posted here.
Skype. & not swype
Still Skype can be found at the market. & is working

In some countries people cannot find Skype on the Market. I'm not 100% sure but there are probably limitations... Anyway, it is easy to workaround them using MarketEnabler.

will this version is sama as the market version? cus when i using my existing skype, the front camera will be freeze after a few second ... was this is because of skype compatibility issue or the Gtab software issue ? appreciate someone can help ... thanks.
Skype doesnt support video on the Galaxy tab because they claim Froyo doesnt give access to the front camera. This is BS though, because there are many other apps that do.
Try Clearsea. Works great and there is a PC client too.

I totally agree with you. A hacked version of skype works well with FFC though rotation still needs to be worked on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153285
Does anyone know how to modify the OS to report that the phones one of the very poor selection the lazy people at skype could be bothered to make it work with?
Or would it require a mod to the app itself (same question who knows how to do this?)
Thanks in advance
Maybe modifying the build.prop? Just a guess!

Yep. Can confirm. Crashes a couple of seconds after you hit Sign in.
The problem is that the contained native code .so's seem to contain NEON instructions which the Tegra 2 can't execute.

If everyone took that attitude, XDA forums and the like wouldn't exist because we'd all be sat waiting for HTC / LG / Skype etc to update software...
These forums exist because the developer community can usually make things work better than the software vendors or before the software vendors.
This has already been hacked to work on the Galaxy S and S2.......

Alright I know you guys are going to be more help and faster than Google contacting me so here it is.
So I got invited to the music beta for google. I have uploaded my songs and am all signed in all that jazz. But the problem is that under the music beta i dont have a "options" choice under soft menu button. I am running CM7 on a galaxy s captivate btw. I have installed, unintalled, and reinstalled couple times with restarts included. No bueno. I have even replaced the music.apk in system/app with no luck still. Users that have been successfull have said as soon as you start the app you will be asked to link with your google acc. I didnt get that option. I dont have the sync music option either under android settings. And i cant sign in manually cause it doesnt even display a options menu choice! Thanks guys!
