Skype keeps closing, if idle

Hello all. i have a problem since i've upgraded to jelly bean. Skype keeps closing after a period of idle time, i think this problem relies on jelly bean. have someone the same problem, or is it just me?.

thanks

Happens on ICS too. It's the app.

Thanks very much your version of v2.0.0.47 works perfectly on my SGSI9000 running I9000XXJVO (2.3.3) with tegrak kernel. Chatted to my girlfriend for 40minutes now without a hickup using front-facing and back-facing camera :)

The v2.0.0.47 that I downloaded from the market place just didn't show the "Skype video call" option at all but the rest of the app worked fine.

Thank you very very much.

Can the help button be patched to exit skype please, so that pressing menu pops up sign out, settings, about and exit instead of help please. Help seems to be outdated anyway and there is no easy way to stop skype otherwise.

One question:

Is this i9000 forum and thread ??? Here is so much devices opinion patched Skype posts: Evo 4G, HTCs, Asus,etc... I dont care in this thread while patched Skype with video dont working on other devices, than SGS i9000....Have this other devices their self underforum on XDA or not?

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] GwynBleidd:
One question: if it works for you, why do you care? Download it and forget this thread.

Seriously, the thread was started in SGS forum because it was originally patched for SGS. Then it appeared it also works on other devices. Should we spawn a hundred threads now? I guess not.

Maybe a mod can move this thread to Android development or something though.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
Just sign out and press back until it goes away?

Isn't that enough?

It leaves MainService running though, I have to stop it manually via services.

Also fires up the services every time on connection state change, but I fixed that with Autostarts.

By the way, if you don't sign out, but stop the service instead, next time your password will be saved and it will auto-authorize - mini-hint :D

[Android Apps and Games] Psyraven:
@theos0o, thanks for the moddded version, more options are always welcome.

Do you think it would be easy to remove the stat/user tracking software FlurryAgent from the app?

Besides the resources usage, I sure don't like it spamming "I/FlurryAgent( PID): Sent IMEI: [**, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **, **]" in the logcat output. App developers should make tracking opt-in. Besides that, Skype should be able to do more than enough tracking on the Skype servers...
[Android Apps and Games] smart81:
Hi, thank you for this great mod.... i have used your app for a long time, but now i am back to froyo and as i read it isn't working.

But i am wondering, could you make for froyo an advance settings menu without the camera options and only with the sound options. For example for me it is useful to disable the start/stop skype sound and to choose an other ringing sound.

Thank you in advance!

I just updated Skype (officially from Play store) on a SGS (GT-I9000) and it works fine - tested the video calling ... no problem.

Seems to be an individual issue - not a general one.

Try to un-install Skype and re-install it manually from Play store.

Maybe this can fix your video call issue.

Good luck !

Skype 2.9.0.315 mod - v17

Skype 2.9.0.315 modded (build v17) !

Changelog:

~ Based on new Skype build 2.9.0.315

Changes compared to original Skype:

• Exit button (kills app & service)

• Minor fixes here and there (vibration, chat, video-calls)

• Speaker toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button)

• Bluetooth audio toggle while in call (just press your phone's MENU button), uses *my* code for BT Audio, so you can try it for mono headsets or headsets that don't work with Skype's original BT support

• Camera LED/flash support while in video-call (just press your phone's MENU button)

• Advanced Settings:

→ Sign-in status picker, allows you to pick your desired status (availability), which will be applied automatically just after logging-in.

→ Keep screen alive, disables proximity sensor for calls

→ Force-enable video-calling, for phones that can't get video-calling enabled.

*Video-calling needs compatible CPU (ARMv7). If your phone's CPU is not compatible, Skype will keep crashing/looping at login!*

→ Force enable camera rotation, will attempt to enable camera rotate option (under the camera selection popup)

→ Avoid setFPS, for some users that get black image in video-calls

→ Use valid preview surface, for some users that get black image in video-calls (a bit buggy at the moment, but better than nothing ;))

→ Prefer full-screen incoming video, won't allow your back camera image to take the whole screen leaving the incoming image minimized

→ Force notification LED/BLN, for users that "Pulse notification light" option (in Skype original settings) doesn't actually enable notification LEDs or BLN!

→ Advanced camera settings (resolution/focus/scene/white balance/color effect)

→ Ringtone picker!

→ Notification sound picker!

→ Disable vibration entirely

→ Disable sign-in/out vibration and/or sounds

→ Notifications' vibration pattern picker!

→ Verbose logging, use it for debugging, when capturing logs​

All good so far SGS2 OS GB nice working and thanks once again :)
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Thank you very much for the new version of "your" Skype app.

Works like a charm on my SGS2. :good:

Only one "small" thing I recognized compared to v16:

The online Skype icon in status bar in now grey (like in original Skype app) - no more green cloud.

Doesn't bother me, as I am interested in your advanced settings ... was just a visual difference between original and your Skype app, but now I have to open Skype app and push the menu button to see if I am running original or your app.

Backgroud info:

I am using several android devices, and on some of them, I have installed your Skype app, and on the others, there is the original Skype app.

It is not a request ... just something I liked in former versions, and I missed after installing v17 and first login. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I know. I didn't include the icons because I think the original ones are better, especially for ICS / JB.

It's just the style of the OS, having gray icons.

Plus my icons were not really high quality.

If most of you prefer coloured icons, I will have to make new ones for the next release :)
[Android Apps and Games] Electronic Punk:
Getting force closes when I try to open the advanced options, and did silence make it in as well? :)

edit: just checking it on my nexus 7 as my one is also crashing when I open the camera so it might be related to that. One moment :D

edit2: fine on the nexus so may just be my bleeding edge use of roms :D

Great work and thanks for adding no notification sounds, you are a star!
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
No problem!

Logcat would help with the crash ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Nu11u5:
I tested this over 3 different ROMs (GB and ICS) with several wipes and reflashes.

It just closes without any FC, and usually hangs at the startup or logon animation when restarting.

I'll copy a logcat when I have the chance. Unfortunately it's random over a few hours so I can't just wait for it to happen.
[Android Apps and Games] Electronic Punk:
Nah all good, I think Trip (the rom author) already knows there is an issue and I am hoping he will fix it before I feel I need to roll back.

Works great on my Nexus 7, so I am pretty confident your app is working as it should!

[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
theos0o, in new Skype there is no sorting by online users, could you add it and if it not hard - could you move the little preview window to the left up corner by default? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Just as workarounds:

1. You can switch in contacts view from "All" to "Online". Then only online contacts will be displayed.

2. You can move the preview window by draging while in video call.
[Android Apps and Games] kazantip1288:
I know it all, but every time switching it's not the way like it must be, and I wrote "if it's not so hard to do"

The previous version used to unload itself every few hours, this works solidly and reliably -- Galaxy Note N7000 with GB 2.3.6 stripped TouchWiz with JKay Deluxe.

On WiFi, with GrooveIP and Skype both running, phone sitting in standby on my desk , power consumption was only half a percent an hour last night. The previous version of Skype used to be about 2 percent, on its own!

So I am in pig heaven right now. Thanks theos0o, you have made my day! :) :)

[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
Try to uninstall and then re-install Skype again.

Maybe you have to clear app data (via menu Settings > Applications > Skype > Clear data) and/or wipe cache (and Dalvik cache if you have CWM recovery) in recovery mode.

Good luck !
[Android Apps and Games] Bobby3535:
What is cvm recovery?

Okay i will try.. Before the original skype has updated my skype worked but the v16 here have broken dl-links..

Greetings

/E:

Uninstall and re-install doesn't work.. Same problem again.. And how do i wipe me cache?
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
As you don't know CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery, I assume that you are on stock recovery.

In stock recovery, you have less options and only wipe data (= factory reset) and wipe cache (only system and app cache will be deleted).

Boot into recovery mode: Shut down the phone, then press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons until recovery menu appears.

Then select wipe cache (navigate with Volume UP + DOWN, selection with Power).

Then reboot system.

Good luck !
[Android Apps and Games] Bobby3535:
But my apps, messages, contacs etc are still on my phone after that?

greetings
[Android Apps and Games] It_ler:
If you only wipe cache, yes.

This operation will format the cache partition.

Only cached data.

All system files, data files, etc. will be untouched.

P.S.:

Wipe data will format data partition with all your apps + app data + system settings. So this operation is also called factory reset.
[Android Apps and Games] theos0o:
I'm trying to recover links, be patient :)

So far, so good, but...

I don't know if someone else already pointed this out:

on my Galaxy S3, i check the "Force led notification", restart skype and my led is always in notification mode.

The led should be red when charging, green when fully charged and blink blue when there is a notification; with that option on, the led is always blinking blue, even when charging.

Otherwise, with the "stock" skype, the notification led didn't worked at all.

For now i'm testing; if tomorrow everything still work as expected (much better than the original...) a donation will be on the way.

Great job!

I understand, but I can't really test and debug this, as I don't have a phone with a LED. :(

Built-V17

hi,

There are a couple of EXTREMELY useful features that are missing, I would love to suggest.

1) Is it possible to increase the number of Ringtones ? Skype quits pretty early.

2) on HTC G2, I have always had this problem, even with the purchase of the latest model Bluetooth (LG Tone HBS-700 Universal Wireless Stereo Bluetooth). Whenever the "Bluetooth" is connected, the SKYPE Ringtone does NOT come out of phone Speakers, its directed through bluetooth itself, and unless you have Bluetooth headset on your head 24/7 (which is ridiculous ), you won't hear somebody is calling. I should turn the Bluetooth OFF every time I want the SKYPE Ringtone comes out of phone speaker as it normally should be. This fault exists with your lates Built-V17 as well. The only version I have tried and does NOT have this fault is the Built-V11, which has other problems (freezes after a couple of calls, Ringtone rings flawlessly, never stops unless you crash the application manually).

Thanks a lot,

If I get a version that has these two fixed, just ask me how much donation you would like, will pay happily cause I love your feature-full builts and I'm using them.
