static noise ICS

Hi, this is probably my last chance , from the day I update my Sensation to ICS , on every rom & every version of skype I have audio problem. electrostatic, crackling noise, could be ok for minute or two , but after while is back again. Going back to GB is the only way to fix the issue.

I've tried different kernels,roms , there are minor difference but only GB is crackling free. Please help .:crying:

[Android Apps and Games] :
Something doesn't work properly in the newest version on my devices.

On my phone (LG Optimus Z / LG-KU9500 / Android 2.3.7) it's impossible to turn on speaker phone. It worked fine in v18.1.

On my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 / HW-M305W / Android 4.0.4), on the other hand, Skype itself seems to work fine but there's no icon on the notification bar so you don't know whether Skype is running or not in background. The icon was present in v18.1.

Hi,

I am using Bruno's (bgcngm) [ROM][02-03-2013] ZTE V970 (MT6577) custom ROMs (ICS / JB) which is working great. Unfortunately, when I am using the official Skype app, then the other side is not able to hear me.

Hence, I am diverted the this modded Skype.

However, when I am using the modded Skype the other side is hearing a distored noise. This is happening when I am setinng Advanced settings / Sound settings and enabling MODE_IN_CALL.

Please advice

No video preview

Good morning to all... I was gonna post this as a problem but I read in the OP that video previews of one's self is still a little buggy so this will be more like a request.

I have a Galaxy S3 running a Sammy ROM, Neat ROM Lite v3.1 XXEMB5 and Siyah Kernel v1.8.9 in case it matters... I have everything working, camera rotation and sound, all that is good, just have no video preview of myself so I can see what the other person is seeing of me... anyone out there with an S3 have previews working? Or is there a possible fix in the works?

Thanks guys for your time! Love the app

Update: I was able to get the preview working by switching resolutions back and forth from one of the others to "Let Skype decide"... BTW when I try to use one of the other resolutions the other party never sees me... it says on their end that I'm establishing connection... but then when I switched back to let Skype decide the preview window was no longer black... I could see myself just fine....

NOOOOOWWWWW the problem I'm facing is that camera rotation does not work... in my preview window the image of myself is fine and rotates but for the other party to see me not sideways I have to hold my S3 in landscape mode and there's no change when I try the rotate option

UPDATE: my bad fellas... to enable camera rotation on my S3 I have to enable rotation for the phone which seems rather odd since that need not be the case for any other app that uses the camera

I have a request and that would be some way to implement an option to delete chat history... whether one by one or for all contacts... doesn't matter... but at the moment nothing I do will remove it... I have even tried to clean history from PC then sign out on PC. In Android I clear cache and data for the app, uninstall it, reboot and then when I reinstall and log in the chat history comes right back even though it DOES NOT show up in the Windows app

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to add an option to turn off notifications for group conversations. I'm in a group chat with some friends and I don't want to get notified every time someone writes in there. This prevents me to use notification sounds for private instant messages :(.

I don't know if this was already requested, but I used the thread search and couldn't find anything about that issue. If that feature is possible, I would really appreciate it.

Anyway, thank you very much for the Skype Mod.

[Android Apps and Games] karanrajpal14:
Doesn't happen to me mate. I'm running rootbox on mine. Have you tried a reinstall?
[Android Apps and Games] itenos:
Hmm, this is really weird. I haven't used Skype very much lately. Yesterday I tried a video call after long time on my phone and my partner just saw a black video. Remembering vaguely an option that treads black video in advanced settings I tried to enter it. The dialog told me to first end the current video call and I did that. I tried to enter again and it forced closed on me.

So I tried to use my tablet instead and it forced close there too. Not remembering very well when I entered for the last time the advanced settings, I supposed that it got broken with the latest 4.2.2 update and I posted it here.

Right now I tried again in order to create a logcat and strangely it works now on both my phone and tablet. I restarted my phone in the meantime but my tablet is still in exact the same mode like yesterday.

Definitely a strange coincidence...

But now it's working so never mind and sorry for wasting time ;)

Eh, more like a good suggestion. Skype has never been worse on Android. The official app is such a painful hog and all the alternative clients doesn't support Skype anymore, probably because Skype don't want people to use anything but their own. So a "fixed" old lite client could be great.

[Android Apps and Games] Okluzhion:
I like the way the lite app looks like. Too bad I can't get past login screen. I've been trying to find an alternative ever since Skype blocked imo. The developers of the official Android Skype app either don't care about the app or are too incompetent to make a completely working version. Even this this fixed version sucks battery like crazy and is laggy as hell on my phone. Not the OP's fault, of course. IM+ requires you to buy access to Skype, which I think is a ripoff because I found it to be really unreliable (I got the messages couple of hours after they were sent). But if the OP could try to fix this lite app the user posted, that would be like a dream come true. I believe that's easier said than done and I'm not demanding anything as I am in no position to do so. I'm just hoping that fixing it is possible. Sorry for the rant.

Sent from my Cracksperia Arc
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
100% agree. But I think its Skype who is making it hard for anyone else but themselves to make Skype work on android, in order to force people to use their horrible work.

I bet the lite client is also very outdated and probably won't work properly even if we get past login screen.

Shame they decided to make Skype on android such a horrible experience.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Among other things, the old "lite" version would need to be able to contact the current Skype servers. The old servers (and API?) that it used are no longer supported/available.

Please keep in mind that Skype is now owned and controlled by a Redmond-based company that sells operating systems and devices that directly compete with Android. It's no surprise that they favor implementation on their own products.... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
Indeed. It most likely wouldn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Okluzhion:
... funny you say thay because that certain Redmond-based company with a few others sued Google for implementing/distributing only their own apps. So if they're so eager to force some of their "awesome" apps to Android, why not start with doing a proper job with the Skype app? Hypocrisy much.

Sent from my Cracksperia Arc
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
Hypocrisy is the essence of the corporate world. IMHO, they're all equally guilty, but I'll pick something that works any time over something that merely pretends to work, therefore my phone runs Android and my laptop is a MacBook... ;)

Interestingly, it seems most people say they use Skype solely because other people they know use Skype. That's my only excuse too, and not a very good one at that... ;)

Tablet UI orientation unlock

I have been updating versions up to v19 on my Nexus 7 Tablet and had previously applied the Tablet UI orientation unlock option.

I recently updated the ROM on my tablet and reinstalled v19 and found it forced Landscape orientation with no option available to change it. I then went back to v18.1 and the option was available in the menu and worked as intended.

Will this option be coming back?
[Android Apps and Games] Bentso:
There is now an option for tablet or phone ui but no option to force rotation on tablet mode.

Need an update . . . Pllllleeeeeaaaasssseeee!!

So i'm not sure if this happens to anyone else, but using my MK808B android stick mini PC is driving me crazy. I am a home care nurse and we are using android miniPCs in tandem with C170 Logitech webcams hooked up to an LED monitor. Using SKYPE 2.9 the thing works perfectly, but in SKYPE 3.0 for some reason the incoming video feed gets stuck in the little "picture in picture" box and what is supposed to be the outgoing feed to my chat recipient ends up in the incoming feed box. So the video boxes are switched around. The patients that I'm planning to use these on are old and can't double tap the PIP box to swap feeds so I planned on implementing the auto-answer feature. The problem is that auto answer wasn't made available until SKYPE 3.0. So 2.9 works well, but no autoanswer. 3.0 has auto-answer, but doesn't work right. If oosO0 can come up with something my company is happy to toss a hefty paypal donation at a solution. This is holding up a very big project for which they have dedicated a lot of resources to. A few hundred bucks would be well worth it. So can you extract the auto-answer feature and stick it in the Skype 2.9 apk? Or is there another solution already in existence? Either avenue is worth our money.
