For bionic: enable "use valid preview surface" and "force enable video calling" if there is no video call option when tapping a contact.

For xoom: unfortunately we have to wait for a skype release that is tegra 2 (or generally processors with no arm neon support) compatible

Version 10 works for my Droid 3. v11 goes back to black screen even after tweaking the settings. Great stuff. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Are you sure?

Did you enable "Use valid preview surface" in v11?

It should work..

Skype video on Entourage Pocket Edge

Hi,

Great jobs on making skype video work on all those tablets and phones.

Now my question is what is the last build that runs on froyo, I know the latest ones are GB. I want to try to run it on my Pocket Edge.

I know the company closed but a lot of those Pocket Edges got sold on woot lately so there is definitely demand out there.

HTC Desire Adroid 2.3.5 (Cool Sense 3D v2a with sense 3.0)

Hi there,

Tried installing your latest Skype and it all goes great until i try to access the advanced settings. When I tap the advanced settings the phone restarts instantly... Don't know what the problem is... I have an HTC Desire with coolexes latest Cool Sensation 3D v2a ROM with android 2.3.5 and bananacakes gb kernel. The thing is... I had your v11 on a earlier build of this ROM (v1) and it worked perfect, no issues what so ever. Can you tell us what might cause the phone to restart?? Thank you for your otherwise great app

:D

[Android Apps and Games] morrislee:
Same problem here, but on tegra 2 in Atrix 4G

I guess, I need to wait for Skype official release :(
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I don't know. Apparently a ROM bug/issue.

Ask your ROM developer!

Guys, we've mentioned it many times already!

Skype video libraries require processors that support ARM NEON feature.

This feature is not available on Tegra chips and on old/mid-low-end phones!

We need to wait and hope for a newer and compatible release.

Ringtone not removed!

Hi theos0o,

Thanks a lot for your Skype mod! On my Motorola Defy, running Gingerbread, video calls work fine, including voice routed to a bluetooth headset. Nevertheless, for normal audio calls, the ringing tone is not removed at the time the other party answers the call. His/her voice comes mixed with the ringing tone. Besides, that tone is even kept after the call, until I quit Skype. You see, this issue doesn't show on the official market version.

Is it really a bug? Or, rather, any settings I should change?

Thanks again, anyway.

Regards,

Carlos
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Hey Carlos!

Can you tell me which sound settings have you enabled/changed?

Everything's ok here, just tried it.. weird!

or just install your apk if we don't have skype on our phone ?

any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] whyisitlikethis:
Desire HD stock - 2.3.3 uninstalled skype and then installed modified skype version.

The Desire HD only has a rear camera (one back camera)!

I tried videochat. It only worked, when the partner called me via videochat. I could only see him. I tried to get my camera to work, switched from front to rear camera, it didn't help anything. Unfortunately there is this portrait to landscape bug, yes.

Nevertheless I have to admit, that this is a great version of skype and I would be thankful if the developer could implement an option for smartphones/tablets with a rear camera only!

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
That means its CPU is not compatible with Skype video! :(
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
I dindn't have your mod installed, because I must have audio calls fully working, but I've tried to give it another shot. Ok, without making any changes, audio calls work. But after checking the 'Prefer bluetooth audio' checkbox, the issue has apppeared. It doesn't matter whether through my BT headset or the phone. Notice that I must set the 'Use MODE_IN_CALL' too, because, otherwise, my BT headset mic is highly distorted. Now the weirdest thing: once the issue is present, there is no way to have it removed, other than reinstalling Skype. Resetting all the audio settings, or even logging out of Skype and back in, don't help.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
You're right!

It's "Prefer Bluetooth Audio" causing it.

For me, when I disable it and restart Skype it's back to normal.

I'll see what I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
There's another audio issue: if I leave everything unchanged, but during a call, I toggle the audio to my bluetooth headset, all subsequent calls, even through the phone's earpiece, will have the microphone highly distorted. I have to set the 'Use MODE_IN_CALL' to have it corrected. Take a look at this one too, if possible.

Regards,

Carlos
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Well, I don't think I can fix this one.

That's why I've added that option ('Use MODE_IN_CALL')!

I think I've fixed the other issue though!

I'll think of some more features and release a minor v12 update soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
theos0o, if you are about to fix some sound issues, can you please check my problem? I'm able to send you all the details about my phone as well as a logcat or anything you need to debug. Please just let me know what you need.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Are you sure the first build I released for ZTE Blade was working fine on your phone?

If that's the case I can try adding that code again as an option.
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Unfortunately it was working with the phone I had before, with the same chipset as ZTE Blade. That lead me to think it was working with my actual phone, but it turns out it is not.

So, with that old version that you have released for ZTE Blade I get no sound at all. With v11, I have the problem I described, after enabling "Use MODE_IN_CALL" option, audio is routed from loudspeaker to somewhere else rather than ear speaker. Hehe.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can you tell me what's happening when "Use MODE_IN_CALL" is not enabled?

Does the speaker toggle do anything when your audio is bugged?

Which phone do you have btw? Seems like your phone has a f$@ked up audio implementation, thanks to some bad coding ;)

Any apps that actually work ok on your phone? :p
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
When "Use MODE_IN_CALL" is not enabled, the audio is perfectly normal, but it comes from the loudspeaker. If, during a call, I toggle the speaker it does presents the message "Turned speaker on/off" but audio comes from rear loud speaker anyway. That's what made me try that version for ZTE Blade.

My phone is a HTC Indredible S clone, based on a MediaTek chipset, MT6513. It's obviously bad coding, but that's why I wanted your help to have Skype working as it should.

Is verbose logging information any good for you or will you need a logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Skype has its own speaker toggle too!

Doesn't work either, right?

Enable verbose logging is actually deeper logging @ logcat!

So, I need a logcat of a Skype call with you trying the speaker toggle too.

2 logs will be better (one using MODE_IN_CALL and one without it).

You didn't mention though.

Any apps that work fine with your ear-piece?
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Wow, you're fast! Congrats and thanks! Eagerly waiting for V12 now...:)
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Yes, I was toggling speaker using Skype's own function. Doesn't toggle the audio. It comes always from the loud speaker.

Okay, in attachment you can find my logs (verbose logging enabled) with and without MODE_IN_CALL. A call to "Echo / Sound Test Service" has been made and I toggled speaker two times during the call.

What kind of apps that should use the ear-piece are you referring to?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can you test it a little bit for me? Can't use a BT headset at the moment.

I'll PM you with a pre-v12 build!

@bgcngm

Whatever mate.

Skype alternatives, like tango/whatever.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Sure! I'll test it!
[Android Apps and Games] bgcngm:
Never tried other alternatives, but I will do that and give you feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Check your PMs!

@bgcngm

Yeah, please do that as I can't see any obvious errors on that logs.

Will look deeper tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:

[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
@theos0o what I really like about what you've done is the way the front-facing camera is actually usable without having to hold the phone at arm's length as you do on the native Skype app.

Lately I've been experimenting with the Google+ app's use of hangouts. It suffers from the same problem as the native Skype app, unless you haold the phone at arm's length your face is distorted by being too close. Any chance you can hack the Google+ app and work your magic there?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Wait, wait.

What exactly are you talking about? :p

I haven't changed anything special regarding the front-cam!

Can you explain in details? Maybe something related to portrait? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] FinalAssault:
Pardon me for my ignorance, chances are the answer is right in front of me. Using Skype 2.0.0.46 on my Incredible 2 and only get video, no sound. What is the best and most stable version, with sound and video? By sound I mean in video call, no sound. Tried every link and they work but stop working. On phone, pardon the grammar as well.

Edit: It's 2.0.0.47, not .46. Sorry! CM7.
[Android Apps and Games] riahc3:
What the hell is this modded Skype's problem with randomly vibrating?!?!?! Lol, I mean it just randomly vibrates whenever the hell it wants. Even when the Skype icon is NOT in the upper left corner, it still vibrates.

I'm sure it is Skype as this only happens with Skype installed.

HTC Desire Z CM7
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I can't see anyone else complaining, so I'll just pass.

Well, the latest version is 2.1.0.46.
[Android Apps and Games] FinalAssault:
Yeah, I tried it and it stopped working. Don't remember the exact message cause I went back to 2.0.0.46 after that. I'm sure other Incredible 2 users have no problem, probably just me. :(
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Hmm. On the stock Skype app the depth of field on the front camera is about arms length. On yours, possibly because of the portrait option? it is only a foot, meaning I can hold the phone at normal distance and get a non-distorted image of myself.

Not sure what you've done but this is a real game-changer for using a mobile phone to do IP calls.
[Android Apps and Games] FinalAssault:
Updated to latest nightly and decided to give the latest version another try. So far so good, go figure. Either bad luck or I had too many options going on.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Can I have some screenshots (eg. one running my APK and one running the official one)?

I think I understand what you mean, but I haven't really done anything about this.

Just some image scaling in portrait..

Does this happen both in landscape and portrait of my APK or portrait only?
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
@theos0o,

Have you read my PM? Has it been useful to you, somehow? Would you need further tests from me?

Regards,

Carlos
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Yeah I did.

When MODE_IN_CALL is *not* used, everything works well.

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to fix the bug that won't close the BT connection when the call is ended and MODE_IN_CALL is used. :(

I can't figure what's wrong.

Everything else looks ok though.
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
It happens in portrait only. I'll put together some screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Well, I know what happens in portrait.

It cuts some of the image on the edges so that you get a bigger picture of your face (in a try to minimize black bars up and down).

Unless I'm crazy.. :p
[Android Apps and Games] amwebby:
Then I really need to get those shots together. It definitely takes away the distortion caused by the camera's depth of field being too close to your face.
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
I use MODE_IN_CALL because, otherwise, whatever I say on the BT headset's mic is highly distorted. So, I suppose it won't be practical to use a headset for the time being...
[Android Apps and Games] kcching:
Thanks for the hard work! Way way better than original Skype app!

Edit - Actually the most common message that comes up isn't the first one. Just more along the lines of "Please sign back into Skype." Can you not have your phone on idle for too long with this version or something?
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
There have been reports about crashes and issues on CM7.

Not my/Skype's fault I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
It must be something with Gingerbread, because it happens to my Defy, flashed with water79's MS2Ginger ROM, too, sometimes. I guess it affects all comm applications, because CSipSimple is 'dehidrated' (from its operational 10+MB state to a 2MB one, when no SIP connections work) all the time, more often than Skype, for sure...
[Android Apps and Games] FinalAssault:
Guess I'm boned then. Just gotta suck it up, downgrade to my prior version or just hope CM7 eventually meshes well with your eventual updates.

Oh well. Still, thanks for the help!

Market prompts to update to 2.5.0.108

I have your build installed 2.1.0.46 (v11) and today I am getting prompts in Android Market to update to Skype 2.5 - can I get rid of the prompt?

I tried wiping data and re-installing but it did not help.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:
Hi,

[Android Apps and Games] wizgnome:
I managed to get rid of the Market Prompt by Uninstalling 2.1.0.46, Installing the official Skype version 2.5, Uninstalling it - I don't like the default notification sounds which can't be changed. Then re-installing 2.1.0.46 - Prompt has now gone :)
[Android Apps and Games] knightz01:

Basically the new version supports tegra 2 devices witch they dont have neon support.

Cant wait for your version TheosOo because the new version of skype doesnt work on my Optimus 2x CM7. You need to have a stock based rom.

Anyhow we really appreciate your hard work.

[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
That's true mate!

But it'll take some time as I'm a bit bored (just moved back home) and in every skype release there are significant code changes!

I am also awaiting v12 of theos0o's Skype app.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

In new Market app (3.1.5), you can configure the prompt via first option of settings in menu.

Just deactivate the notification for new updates.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Guys, you who have the Optimus 2X.

Don't you get an option to enable video calling?

More info please.. i'm taking a first look at the app right now.

Tomorrow or later I will try coding ;)
[Android Apps and Games] wizgnome:
Not great at all, I uninstalled it after 2 minutes - I need to be able to change the notification sounds, useless in a busy office if this can't be done.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

But that is a global setting, its only this app that I do not want to update - the official version is unusable for me.
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Create another (second) Google account - if not already existing.

De-install Skype app completely (using Titanium BackUp or such a tool to delete the corresponding Market entry, too).

Switch to the other (second) Google account in Market's menu.

Now, you may install (original) Skype by using another (second) Google account from the Market.

Afterwards, you can replace the original Skype app from the Market by theos0o's as usual.

And finally, re-switch to your original (first) Google account in Market's menu.

I do not tried/tested it myself - so it is just a theoretical guess!

Are you stressed enough to give it a try?

Then please let me know, if this really works as planned.
