skype blocked fring ,what shouldwe do to use skype now onmobile?
Good question, since there's no skype for android whatsoever and that skype beta lite that was floating around is a useless piece of crap.... My guess it's we are fkt.
The first thing I noticed when I switched to android was the lack of an official skype app and I can't believe that skype completely ignores android. Maybe now that android released their SDK publicly we will seen some app that will integrate skype.
Or if skype team start doing some work they release the goddam official app.

Skype turned into Verizon's *****.
I just switched to nimbuzz, it's free in the market.
Edit: I haven't tried calling on it yet, but text is fine.
Calling works, but no video support.
calling drops on nimbuzz the sec it trys to connect.
I was testing Nimbuzz; for me it works great over WiFi, sluggish over 3G/E.. Anyway, as far as I see, right now the only skype solution..

Skype for Android has been released on the Android market. Unfortunately, the app does not officially support Galaxy S devices. So some users are experiencing difficulties logging in.

I tested the app on my 2.2 Froyo JI6 Captivate and it worked well! Woohoo!
Anyone get it working too? Any problems?
i Just downloaded on 2.1 - for some reason my phone rebooted at 40% during hte download - I have never had this happen and have had the phone since launch day.
No luck signing in right now... will try a few things and report back.
Yes, there is issues with 2.1 (it's noted several times on blog post on skype website). It does work fine on leaked 2.2.
My question though, I used market enabler to download I would guess european version of Skype (I emulated T-Mobile AT). Would that mean that I can make skype calls over 3G in US (since default install in US is limited to Wi-Fi connections only for voice calls). I don't have any contacts online so can not test it.

Thanks in advance!!

I get a bunch of FC's on mine... sucks.... COG2.2Beta-1.... Anyone with help on this issue?
-Ken
**EDIT NVM, reboot the phone and works great! Also I would turn off automatically start its under settings under profile in Skype
It does not support any LCD Density changes... So use stock LCD density 240 and it works fine... Besides stock, not sure which setting works other than 240 now....

I have ji6 2.2 and its says "We're sorry, but that Skype Name does not exist" it does so not sure what the problem is. I have tried over wifi and 3g still no luck
edit*** nevermine it works fine
Works just fine for me. About time we got Skype. The beta sucked.
It's useless in US since works only on Wi-Fi. When I have WiFi connection I usually have better means calling other people then Skype.
Works fine on 3G for me. What are you talking about?

Voice calls? Chat works over 3G.
This is documented limitation for users in US. Call only over WiFi not 3G. No such limitation in other countries. Wondering how they are figuring out where you are.
I haven't been able to test out the voice call yet as nobody is online on my contacts, but chat works. There has to be some kind of a bypass for that 3G limiter...
Sorry for the double post, but I think this may be of interest to everyone. Just found it over in the main android section.

Skype on 3G for US
Edit: It doesn't seem to work on 3G at all even with the modded apk. I just tried to call my sister from the bathroom asking for more TP.
I keep getting can't sign in errors, might just be that I'm on a stock rom though.

As are most people. Like myself. It works just fine if you have 2.2
No video calls?

Working just fine on 2.2. Didn't work at all on 2.1 though as stated. Skype's site doesn't allow you to download it though (phone is not supported message). Getting it from the market works fine though on 2.2.

Can't even sign in using that.
I do use the skype beta for text chat on my captivate, which is all I need as I have many skype contacts and we text chat often.
Why would it need access to my personal information (contacts...)! No thanks.
Hi all,
having issues with fring app
whenever i start it, it goes online and offline every second making it unusable
i tried both on 3g and wifi
all other apps works just fine
when i raised the issue with fring support, they replied saying that my phone (DHD) is not supported and will send me information when they support it
did anyone else facing the issue?
This isn't a major issue, I guess, but it bugs me. When using the navi with google maps on my nook I'm having an issue where the woman's voice cuts off the last 1 or 2 words in her directions. For example, if I was going to be turning onto Beaumont Center Ln, her speech cuts off after Beaumont Center. I forget what else it was saying this morning but I think it cut off the last 2 words. Has anyone else had this happen or know a fix?
No I don't, but may I ask you how you're getting coordinates? Are you getting GPS from your Android phone?
It's not cutting off in my video here...

I use the TetherGPS app and provide the wifi and gps from my phone. Everything else works fine, I'm just not sure what's causing the glitch in speech.

Sweet. I see you are running the 2.1 rom, maybe it's rom thing. I am running one of the earlier cm7 nightlies, just because I have it working so good. Otherwise I would update to a newer one, I may try that this weekend.
I am a new user and have switched from symbian to android a fortnight ago.
Apart from the poor battery life which I am learning to train, I would like to have a voice call recording app which will auto record all calls without having the call on speakerphone.
Please don't get into legality since I would like to use them as notes so that I don't need to remember every word. Also I may have taken calls while traveling and may not have 100% recall the next day in office.
I don't mind paying for such an app if it works successfully.
Pl help...
app: record my call
well looks like record my call works fine with android 2.3 incredible s...
initial testing seems fine and the other party doesnt seem to be complaining...
allows you to record in multiple formats and names the file fine too...
the recorded sound is a little weird as if coming from behind a glass or something...
since i need it for taking notes i am okay with that...
the app is adware, wouldn't mind a paid pro version without the ads and better sound quality...
if anyone else has any other apps that work, pl let me know...
