what about skype now .

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..

Fring w/video?

I have a Vibrant and my mom has an Aria. Tried to Fring Video Call her and, on my end, it said she had no video input but my video was shown and on her end, she saw the cartoon image in my place.
Any ideas on why this isn't working?

Aria does not have a front-facing camera. When you start Fring, it warns you to that fact, and asks whether you want to use video or not. If not, it disables video altogether, if yes, then it uses the outward facing camera. (The video will work, but will be practically useless -- to let the other party see you, you'd have to turn the phone around and point the main camera at yourself, which means that you don't see the screen and YOU won't be seeing the other party.)
Looks like your Mom selected "no" when Fring asked her that question.

I get how it works... But I never had that prompt on my Vibrant. Is it in the settings for her to change?

That would stump me too, because as far as I know Vibrant does not have a front-facing camera either...

It has nothing to do with having a front facing camera. It just has to do with having A camera. Fring doesn't require a front facing camera. It isn't AS cool, but is still semi-cool to do the video chat with the rear cam.

Its Didnt Prompt you because its sa Galaxy S Phone, and The orginal Galaxy S Has Afront Facing Camera so it thinks your on a Galaxy S or Epic 4G it has no way of Knowing that your Model of Galaxy S Dosent Have A Front Camera it Just knows you have a Galaxy S

So what about on my mom's Aria? How do I make it use the rear cam and how do I get hers to view mine?

Just open settings in fring and enable video calls

i used yahoo messenger over wifi for video calls working fine fo me on 2.2.2 & i dnt hav 3g service so i never try that but i m sure it will work

AFAIK, Skype can't use front camera with froyo. But you can try [DEV] Skype Video for Froyo (and GB) mod that work with froyo (it said there, but I haven't tried it by myself).

No you can not use the front cam yet with Fring. Like Skype will have to wait for the 2.3 update.

I don't know yet, and I won't use it either.. because Fring doesn't have encryption.

[ROM] ICS4BIONIC ROM BETA 4.0.3 Working Cam!!!!

Just seen this tweet from Dhacker29!!!!!
First Off Working Cam!!!!!! YEAH!!
I knew they would get there!!!
This is basically the same rom from Dhacker29's last release but with the cam working!!!
You need to be on the .902 update to install this. If your not follow instructions Here or Here.
What works:
CAMERA!!
Graphics working smooth now (Hashcode)
Adb is working so we can track the rest (Hashcode)
Touchscreen (Hashcode)
Capacitive buttons (Hashcode)
Charging indicator (Hashcode)
BlueTooth
Both SDCards mounting on phone
Builtin Screenshot (CM)
Reboot menu (CM)
Phone and SMS works
GPS fully functional
Audio fully working (Hashcode audio wrapper based on tpruvot’s Defy work)

For me toggling to GSM only till the screen flashes and then back to GSM/CDMA auto (prl) works perfect. It will show data for a sec then flash off and about 30 seconds it will pop up to full data.

Hello all. It looks like the DATA is not working. It was good when I installed it, but after that it kept going in & out & now there is no DATA connection. It shows 3G/4G but there is no connection. I have full bars but they are Gray not Blue And yes I did that *#*# thingy.

Chrome does not seem to work
Tried installing chrome beta browser, but it says that my version of android is not supported, needs 4.0 or higher. Anyone able to get chrome to work?

I don't think chrome is working on any of the ics roms yet. I haven't tried any of the ics roms in a few days but it's always one of the first things I check (even though its not going to have flash). I'll be playing around with ics over the weekend so I will be able to see if that particular problem was fixed but its only alpha so its no big deal if it isn't.

youtube videos are the only problems i'm having now, they stutter and don't play correctly, i've seen this is a common problem with ics roms and no video acceleration at this point though

That may just be for you, I have been running it all day with no problems, besides the front camera, video, and everything else that is known. Try going to settings, then under Wireless & networks > network mode > click GSM only, wait for screen to flash, then hit LTE/CDMA again and after about 30 seconds you should have data.

Ya. I have done that too. No luck. Well, I'll just go back to GB till a stable working ROM is out, and thanks to everyone and all the Devs that are working hard for us. I just wish that I had the knowledge of doing this but unfortunately I don't. So, all the DEVS out there, THANK YOU.

Now on 2-24 ICS and 2-17 Gapps this morning, here are my initial thoughts after coming from 2-10:
- Camera will take photos but does force close for me after each photo taken
- I had to toggle GSM Only --> GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) a few times today to get data back
- Twitter app has FC'd a few times for me, never did with 2-10
- ICS Music app won't start, FC's as soon as I try to load it. The old Google Music app does work
- Having battery icon at top display increments is great (even if it is only by 10%)
- Google+ FC's like whoa
That is all for now. I did not wipe data when I flashed the new version so take this for what its worth. I just didn't have time to, still might if others don't notice these issues.

[Q] Skype on the Razr I

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone managed to install Skype on this device? It seems to only work on ARM based devices, so just wondering if it works on the Razr I. I love the look of this phone, however, skype is a must for me.
Can anyone let me know if it is compatible?
Thanks

Works like a charm

Is videocall working?

Video call is working on both front and back cameras

It certainly works but I not sure you can say it works like a charm, as Skype for ANY Android device can be hit and miss.. especially when it has spells that don't let you log in at all (including the incorrect password errors that aren't incorrect).
I use Skype for work and really can't rely on using it solely on my phone, especially thanks to the drain on the battery, which is a shame.

Works sooo good, i call every day to my girlfriend and no bugs at all!!

Never had these problems across three android devices over the last couple of years. I feel lucky.

Wow, you are! I've got Skype installed on a large number of devices (and tablets - and to be fair, they've done a good job of making a decent tablet mode now) and have had plenty of problems.
Connecting via mobile data has often caused many problems, from failing to connect to being connected but not receiving any IMs (or being able to refresh and load older ones).
One thing Skype has improved massively on though is the need for RAM (or taking it all up), which used to cause me no end of hassle on devices without 1GB of RAM - forcing even the homescreen to be closed and restarted. This occasionally happens on the Razr i, but very, very rarely.

there's ia a problem with my videocalls
I have a problem with my skype and other videocalls with JB, my front cam makes a zoom on me but my regular front cam to take pictures is ok. i have tried other jb firmwares and the problem continues. skype and tango work dine on ICS.

My carrier seems to hate Skype, because the calls are a no-go when on 3G, even I tried in other major cities, but as soon as I connect to any decent wifi I have no problems, the quality of the call and voices are nice.

same problem
