[Q] Can I use Skype on 3 in unofficial ROM

Hi, I am in the UK and with 3. My galaxy S came with the Skype on 3 and it can call phone numbers for free. (You still need Skype credits.) I think the way it works is it actually dials a 3's service number and then you get redirect to the phone number you want to call.
My question is:
1) If I flash to other ROM, can still use Skype on 3 for free? I make a lot of international calls by Skype...
2) Can I flash back to 3's official ROM?
Cheers.

there is no skype for android yet
at least not officially
the next best thing like skype + video VoiceIP is Fring

I hate you so much right now
Does it have video call?
I tried fring and even the voice was a disaster...

voiceIP only it seems
also it FORCES YOU TO TURN OFF WIFI so that you can only use GPRS/EDGE/3G to use skype
so that was the deal, so that you can't get away of their data plans
IMO it's useless if you can't use it on WiFi
i'm going back to Fring for Video to Video chats

Is there any trick to use video chat (besides fring) on yahoo/gmail/skype with a PC?

Service no available in your area

Same for me in South Africa on 3G

it'll only work if you are using the "3 network" from UK
you can install and run it, but it wont let you connect to make a call

I cannot transfer the application to my phone, it says that the file format cannot be transferred, is there any other software I have to upload to my PC before downloading the application? I'm on 3 Ireland and they haven't release skype for this phone here yet. Also Phone is on vodafone but unlocked, therefore I do not have 3 Ireland d=software installed yet
Thanks

you need another browser, like SkyFire for example

Hi guys, I've one question for who is using skype on three..Did you notice delays when someone is texting you? i mean, i get like 30 50 minutes delay on each text...is that normal?

Marketplace Browser and Downloader for Windows Phone 7

Zune is a wonderful application for finding and installing Windows Phone 7 applications on your phone. The other alternative is to use Market Place application in WP7 handset. If have an HTC HD2 which doesn't support WP7 officially, but thanks to XDA Developers and DarkForcesTeam, I am running WP7 on this handset with no issues.
Initially, when I upgraded, I couldn't connect to Windows Market Place and browse or install applications because of Windows Live Services Registration (which I later resolved). So, I wrote an app to resolve my problem.
What this application does is, that it allows to browse for free apps on the marketplace, and download them to your hard disk which you can later use to deploy to your handset manually (developer unlocked phone or ChebronWP7 unlocked phone). The interface is pretty simple and serves the purpose. The only pending thing is automatically deploying the downloaded application to the device, which I will leave for a later date (anyone to help me out with this).

Oooh noooo!! Same here...so sad, happily downloaded lot of promising apps...none of them can be installed.
EDIT: The first app listed in the first post is claiming that the device has to be unlocked. The second app listed in the post above is claiming that the app hasn´t a valid license.

Any ideas?

It seems that PPCBOY has something done right on his 7008 rom wp7 my hd2 has the full use of marketplace and zune so you might want to check it out your activation key will still work

[Q] Chromecast works on all devices except my laptop ChromeCast support doesnt know

Hey guys, a day ago I received my chromecast device and I was so happy to unpack it!
I plugged it into my tv, everything seemed to be great.
The setup went easily and it wasn't hard or anything at all.
Everything worked fine,
My phone,
Brother's laptop,
Dad's laptop,
Home PC,
Brother's iPhone,
Friend's laptop..
Everything works . For everyone.
Except for my laptop.
I own a asus n75SF laptop, it always has been okai and never had any trouble with it really, I have AVG internet security business edition 2013, the same as the anti-virus software I have put on my parent's their laptop, and my brothers.
I have checked all processes, but nothing out of the usual seems to run .
My wi-fi connection is great, and my router settings are fine.
Some how tho, my laptop cannot find the chromecast device.
I've tried several things, reinstalling, updating all my drivers , reinstalling driver software but wihout any luck.
The first thing I did was contact the chrome cast support , and sadly after explaining all and everything they did not know what it was.
Router : Netgear n900
Laptop : Asus n75SF
OS : Windows 7 64BIT Ultimate
Wi-fi : 2.4 gHz
Chrome browser version : 31.0.1650.26 (Official Build 228807) beta-m
Chromecast is updated to the latest version : 13300
Things running :

If I would need to post any other infomation please let me know,
what bothers me most is that it works on every other device, except my laptop.
If anyone would know anything i could try, please let me know.
Kind regards
Siem

updated to windows 8 and funnily enough everything works now :good::silly:

Same Problem here with Windows 8.1.
Chrome Browser isn't finding the Chromecast although the Windows Chromecast config app is finding it.

HUGE issue with Eclispe.

Ok, I spend almost 100% of my day yesterday trying to get this sorted out and I'm at the point of giving up, every different problem I went through at least 2 pages of googling and tried everything I could imagine and it's been futile up to this point. I would hate to put it off but the problem has been so bad I might have too. I'll go into as much detail as possible and any help would be VERY, VERY appreciated.
Ok, first off, I had the JDK, SDK, and Eclipse properly set up. The emulator was too slow and everything crashed so I decided to download VirtualBox by Oracle, and hook it up that way via ADB and it was a complete success, I was happy and ready to spend hours learning how to code.
Then one day, as out of the blue as possible, Virtual box popped some kind of error on me, or something along the lines of that, I can't remember unfortunately. But now after trying to re install it and deleting ".virtualbox" in my users folder, it now just freezes up upon starting up the software and I haven't been able to do a thing about it. It looks like on the surface I am able to still use Eclipse, I wouldn't think otherwise because they weren't supposed to be reliant on each other.I tried connecting my android devices to them but to no avail, they detected the devices but using adb connect "Device Name" it said unable to establish a connection or something along those lines, either way no information and my googling has came up NOTHING that didn't involve their devices not being seen either so their troubleshooting was to no avail too unfortunately. I said screw it and tried hooking up a AVD device. Every blank was filled in and I had it installed but "OK" was grayed out no matter what I picked and SURPRISE, it gave me no reason.
I re installed Eclipse (a.k.a deleting the whole folder and dragging a fresh one in). I received problems like "Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection" When I attempt to add the URL and I used https:// and http:// But literately just now as I'm typing this and tried it, It seemed to work but these errors still get in the way:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I reinstalled the JDK, SDK
I have firewall and antivirus disabled when attempted
I disabled Teredo Tunneling Psuedo-Interface
I have a feeling VirturalBox F'd up a connection somewhere with it but I can't seem to find the snag.
Even in the preferences, It doesn't give me a lot to work with.

Ok so I read over the log and it mentioned something in the .android directory, I removed it and reinstalled eclipse and that removed THOSE errors but these ones now pop-up

There you go. That's the reason. there have been plenty of threads about the fact that you cant change your VZ account with a sim in a non recognized VZ device.

Beats me, perhaps you need to Call VZ on this, you may try the following on the N6, but if not seen as a VZ device it may not work:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/1...e-and-data-now-works-on-nexus-6-with-verizon/
you should also be on 5.1 first before trying, as it isn't supported on the N6 without it, which could also generate the message.

just chatted and they will be sending me a new sim(current one was cut from gnex phone)
i shouldnt have any issues activating the sim right?
