Skype!

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.

Hello,
I trying to use the code, but it send me to the market and says that is not available for my location, Can you put the apk here?
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.

[Q] Native 3G video calling?

Hi everyone!
Does the Optimus 2X support native 3G video calling?
I mean, like Samsung Galaxy S does?
I am not refering to IP videocall, such as fring, oovoo, clearsea and such.
All i want is plain old native 3G video calling to be enabled in the dialer, so that i can videochat using my free air time (no waste of data plan megabytes) with people who do not even have a smartphone, but their phone does support 3G video calls.
Please let me know if it does, because it is a major thing for me to know, before i decide whether to buy.
Thank you very much in advance!

As far as I have been able to ascertain the LG 2x does in fact support proper video calling via the 3g network.

Can some one(those who are using it and did video call over native 3g) confirm it...

I'am in Indonesia and I can confirm that native video call via 3g is working. I can video call my family several time (they use Nokia though).

Works for me

yupe! it works for me too. I even vid call to different provider and everything is good. Of course you need to have at least 3g connection. Better if yours is 3.5g..

3G videocall supported... Well!
But... only with stock rom?
Are there cooked roms that supports 3g videocall?
Thank you!

Cyanogen ROM does not support videocall.
So I'll never download it: I dont want a silly iPhone (people pay for a device that can't even do a video call..)
Any other ROM works ok!

All cooked roms except AOSP roms (like Cyanogen or MIUI)...the other stock-based roms support videocall

Never used videocalls (they're expensive )...I tried cyanogen...a next-gen mod! Ram management is fantastic, never had a lag....only videocamera doesn't work as expected so I had to return to stock based roms

I have videocall free of charge for one hour a day.
And i don't like to pay a device and then loose functionality.
But I know that you can't agree with me.

[Q] Skype with videocall

a friend of mine has a milestone and wants to use skype with videocall! I've read that videocall with skype is only available for some phones!
what do you use for videocalling over the internet or is there a way for making skype do that? perhaps make skype think you have an iphone, just joking!
thanks!

The Milestone does not have a front-facing camera so videochatting is not possible. But I've heard that it uses the regular camera as well, but then you have the screen of your Milestone on the table so it kind of defeats the purpose.

Even being able to receive video would be a good first start.

ok! thanks guys!
I just took a quick look at his milestone and I thot I saw a front facing camera, but I might have seen some sensor...

Install new Google Talk with Video?

hi all,
does anyone know if its possible to install the new google talk with video chat on the i9001?
i'm on the KPS 2.3.6 rom.
thanks

I have tried different versions available. For some, only rear camera works. You cant switch. Fir some others microphone doesnt work
None of them has been ported to i9001

If you have CWM instaled your front side cam will not work. It's known issue and it's connected with CWM not with talk version.

it doesnt work at all? as in not in skype or anything? because i dont have clockworkmod and my front camera works fine in skype...

My frontside cam worked fine till I instaled CWM. Now it doesn't at all (in Skype and in Talk also). It's known problem, I'm not the only one.

I don't think I was on CWM. I tried a version on which front cam worked but it was upside down. I never got it to work properly. In every variant, some or the other problem persisted.
