Hi theosOo,

I've made some more tests to try to understand my pb with skype video calls on ics. Could you have a look to the two logs joined and see if something talk to you ? It seems there are errors with the camera, but I can't explain why : your help would be great, if possible !

Thank's in advance,

Benoît
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:

It's something to do with your phone/ROM.

This V14-3 didn't work on my "SE X10 Mini", also tried V14 and V13

when I restart with the option "Force detect camera", it stays trying to Login, but stays there forever, doesnt login. Tried every variation of advanced options, and the result is the same.

If you need a log, tell me what file and I'll attach it.

[Android Apps and Games] areankim:
double tapping does not has any respond. There is no change in zoom.

But in camera app, the slider zoom in out works well.

U9GT2 has both front back camera at 2MP.

My case, both also appeared to be zoom to the max. I'm jst wondering is the app has the diff camerazoom parameter.

Eg. Skype 1 is default non zoom, while the camera take 1 as the max zoom.

I have used v11 for a long time. But v11 cannot login anymore. Now I've tried v14, but this version is not working with my HD2. Does anyone know a working version which supports skype video calls for HD2? I'm using mainly aca.

Hey theos0o,

Thank you for your answer!

When I click on skype (version 11), the app starts, but dosen't login. Messages like: "unable to login this time try later" or "unable to check username and password" show up. I am not 100% procent sure about the message text, because I've already uninstalled v11. But could reinstall if you need the correct error message text.

Other skype versions can login very easy.

LED Notification

Thank you very much theos0o! Great work!

I have a Huawei Ideos and with your version of Skype I finally could make that the LED notification work. But I have a problem. If I keep "skype status" notification active the LED still always on. So the unique form to make this work properly is turning off the "skype status" notification.

Can you solve this? I really want to have the skype status on my notification bar, but If I keep it the LED keeps on =/

Try 'mono' color effect.

With v14_3 you can select custom sound -> silent!

No, my builds are for android 2.3+ and I don't know if your phone's CPU is compatible.

Possible to fix the Caller ID bug?

Great mod, because it fixes the big problem with the original hard coded ringtone that was too silent to hear.

Is it possible to do anything about the caller ID bug too?

It's described at community.skype.com/t5/Android/Caller-id-lost-after-using-Android-skype/td-p/543873 (non clickable, because the forum doesn't allow new users to post clickable links).

I know this is a long shot, because that bug is probably buried deep inside the Skype code, but there's no harm in asking.

I'm running your mod on my ZeniThink c71 with Android 2.3.4. It works fine however it doesn't accept (like "vanilla" SkyPE) the global proxy setting for the network.

There is any way or setting to use the proxy?

"Wifi Only" mode?

myTouch 4G

Android 2.3.4 (not rooted)

theos0o Skype v14

- checked:

-- Keep screen alive

-- Force-enable video-calling

-- Force openGL

-- Prefer fullscreen incoming video

-- Force notification LED/BLN

Hello,

The theos0o Skype v14 mod allows us to rotate the screen to workaround the sideways video Skype problem; thank you for that.

Is there a way to set the Skype mod for "Wifi Only"? We plan to only use Skype on the phones when in a hotspot and on Wifi. And/or maybe a setting to choose a much lower video resolution when on the mobile network.

As a comparison, I use an app called "Craigsnotifica" (monitors craigslist postings), which has settings based on the network connection, for example "Wifi updates", "Non wifi updates", and even "Update on roaming". The app can use around 500MB per month, which doesn't fit into our data plan. Skype uses lots of data (apparently even when not on a call) and if one of my kids would forget to exit Skype when leaving Wifi, it could be trouble.

If anyone has an idea for an external workaround, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

unsure how to proceed

This is probably a stupid quiestion.. but I honestly cannot figure this one out.

I have a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 running march 30th nightly of CM9. I downloaded the skype mod mentioned above and extracted it onto my computer expecting a .apk file to feed the phone. I got instead a directory tree with dirs like res, lib, assets etc... so I put the zip on the phone and couldnt find a way of installing it as a zip. I even tried the install from zip option of recovery. it tried and aborted.

So. How do I install this? I searched for installing from zip and all of the results indicated a zip would extract a .apk file.

So what, in my stupidity, have I missed to be able to install this?

Hi there,

I have an Android HD2000 mobile (version 2.3.6) & it has a MTK6513 Dual Core processor (650MHz + 280MHz) Is this supported for video calling or is it only ARM & NEON?

I have installed v14 fine but as soon as I enable force Video it crashes back to home page :(

In Advanced settings it says number of cameras: 2, does someone know if Skype video calling is supported with this this phone & CPU?

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks :)

I was having a hard time to make my camera work on video calls, but I finally got it. I have a Defy MB525 with CM7. I'm running the latest version of the mod, v14.

I'm not working on a newer build.

I'll be waiting for the next skype update on google play store to start working on v15.

And about the autostart option, I don't know what they've changed, but it surely doesn't work on my phone too.

That's why I dropped it.

Maybe I can look into it in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] captainreynolds:
An "auto-answer" option would be fantastic!!!

One bug I have noticed - sometimes, when I press the end button on a call, it goes back to my home screen instead of Skype. Everything else works great though - hitting the back button during a video call and then going back to the video, I actually can still see my video on my phone screen, which the normal Skype app cannot do! Also, the torch on/off functionality is great! So so very helpful.

Thanks for the great app! I always love having awesome developers like yourself to turn to when app makers just can't get it right.
