I got a Lumia 920 today, but for some reason I can't find a Skype feature in the phone or even the Skype application from the marketplace. hmm...
Beside that, the device hardware and build quality Is pretty amazing!
Skype isn't built into the phone like FB or Twitter, it's an actual app. The difference is, is that WP8 has allowed for VOIP apps new access into the OS (Skype being the first).The WP8 Skype app hasn't been released yet as of yet and is said to be "coming soon".
hixsonkevin : mate WP8 has skype integrated into the OS !
and SlashMind,probably it maybe in the update..can u tell me what version do u have on your phone?
FW revision number ??

No.... it does not. I have a WP8, and I was at the WP8 launch in SF. WP8 allows for new API's for VOIP apps such as skype to seamlessly integrate into the OS. However it is NOT built in.
I have an htc 8x, delivered yesterday, and Skype isn't baked in. The version on the Store only supports 800x480 too. WP8 version doesn't seem to be rolled out yet.
Do you have the AT&T 920 and if so did they block the NFC payment ability of it?
Also the official launch of the 920 is rumored to be November 9th I imagine they'll have something for skype then or release it.

Lol..so its an app that just integrates..so well that will be a WP8 specific app.
what about native code support for WP7??
There is no native code support on WP7. Or to be really precise: some developers (Tango, Skype, Navigon) have gotten support for Native Interop but for regular developers there is no native code support and there won't be.

I have the ATT 920, NFC is on and enabled, but not sure about making payments with it.
Skype WP8 Preview is now on the WP Store.
I picked up the 920 Friday. They had all the colors except Yellow, which is what I wanted to get. So I got the Cyan color. Very nice phone. Still testing.
Here is a quick overview video I did.

I just put Skype on my new 920. It works fine but the capability to receive calls without the app open isn't there yet. Per a post by Microsoft that fuctionality is still under development. So it's not complete yet but so far what's there works fine.

Finally, forum thread. Writing up

Thanks Livven for the article
@amorek13 : Not for the moment. I have 3 other projects in work for Windows Phone before considering switching to Android
Great app, and very polished, thank you!
Thanks,, it's work n nice..
New version available
See the first post for changelog
A good APP! I have a App names "MyUnitConverter" in the marketplace. I think your app is more beautiful than mine.
Doesnt work any more
I downloaded the app when it was free. Now updated to the newer version, and suddenly it stopped working.
You really don't want your previous customers to use its full functionality? Or is it just a bug?
If the former, shame on you. If the latter, please fix it.
Great app btw.

It doesn't work that way. I uninstalled it and then when I went to the marketplace, it showed me the options of TRY and BUY. I choose to try, and it tells me that I have 10 days of trial.
WTF man.
Choose buy, then it will tell you that you have already bought this app, and will ask you to download it anyway.
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, and i'm currently trying to identify where the problem is coming from, so until i've found a fix, the app will be free until further notice
Sorry again as I didn't mean for this to happen
No worries man, I selected buy and it told me I have already purchased it. Thanks for the info.
Sorry I was a bit harsh in my previous comments. I was just pissed when the app suddenly stopped working after the update.
Very good app though. Thanks for all the hard work.
thank you !!!
Thanks for a very nice & extremely useful little application. Much better than the HTC offering.

I bought this application and Marketplace told me that there was an update. Then I updated but the application cannot open after the update. I removed the application and tried to locate it again in Marketplace but can only find the free one without the paid one. There is no Convert2Go application (Pay) in Marketplace.
Where can I locate my paid application in the Marketplace for me to install?

RCS is a feature that's being rolled out across the board on all networks*in the near future. It's a more reliable way of texting and will replace the native messaging capability. You can find out more about it*here.*
The HTC One is the first handset to get this service via a software update. You'll be offered to download it from the maintenance release mentioned in other posts. Once installed, it can't be removed but it can be disabled in the phone settings.
Like NFC, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, RCS feeds can use more power on your phone so those who use the service (or a similar option like Whatsapp) may see increased power usage.
Cheers, Ben*

The effected phones are HTC one, Samsung Note,S5
Samsung and HTC pulled the rom after the third party company changed there default app breeching Androids T&C
all Messages go to a third party company that possibly vodafone has shares in with other networks
But its a third party company so security on messages is out the window
For sony users there is a work around as Vodafone also tried to prevent users removing this app
well Sony users still can
disable the sync then disable ths app in Applications manager
then the stock app will work again
Vodafone state its supposed to be the new way to send sms
errrrrr no cos no one else are doing this as this idea came out in 2008
and we have moved on since then

It's no longer available on the S2 as part of Samsung's continued effort to debloat. You may just want to use Google Voice Search instead; it's significantly faster (but slightly less powerful) than S Voice, but if you absolutely must have it, you may want to try sideloading. Don't know if it works or not, nobody else has ever asked for S Voice!

Pretty rubbish tbh. Firstly reports incompatible with all devices, yeah right. cortana hardly speaks, cannot answer many questions or perform some tasks.

WTH is RCS?
Messaging system, Rich Communication Services, it's like iMessage, read receipts, typing notifications, etc, Android is working in Implementing it
---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------
Did a quick Google search and apparently you have it becuase Google released to a few people to test, lucky basta** lol
Got the same messenger update as well. If Google created a messenger that worked over wifi and sms like iMessage, that would be great.
Says only 6p and pixel xl. For sprint t-mobile and att. Verizon is not capable..... Surprising usually Sprint users like myself always get the back end of things it's finally nice to see another carrier this time.
Well I'm on Shamu not 6p and I received these features
You may be able to "get it" by turning off battery optimization for the app in Settings - Battery - 3 dot menu then Battery Optimization - select Google Messenger and "Don't Optimize".

Only on Sprint now.
Today, Google has announced that it is launching Rich Comunications Services (RCS) on Sprint, making this the first carrier launch from Google. RCS Messaging on Sprint, powered by the Jibe RCS cloud platform, will bring new features to SMS, like group chat, high resolution photo sharing, read receipts and more. To make use of this upgrade, users on Sprint need to grab the latest Messenger update. Further, new Android devices from Sprint coming next year will come with Messenger preloaded as the default SMS and RCS app.

Hi,
I have 2 galaxy watch 3 devices (my wife and me), one paired with note9 the other one with A50.
I've noticed that the one paired with A50 does not have "camera controller" app (the one included free - Samsung app) and it cannot be found in galaxy store.
Ive tried another app (partly free) in store and it works with A50, so I don't understand where is the problem, because my watch has the app and I'm able to find it in store.
Anyway, how could I get the app from my watch (paired with note9) to send it to my wife's watch?
Both watches are LTE, same model SM-R845F.
Or maybe there is any "repository" where I could download the camera controller app?
Thank you

Sadly, tpks/wgts are unmoddable, the things you can change are limited, and shm mainly depended on the phone app, hence it was easier to play with
I have the S22 ultra, and the Watch 5 pro, and this app doesn't work, and I can't install it from the official store, it says my watch is not compatible lol.
