Nice one, I'm glad for u guys. For some reason 3 are not preloading this on their desire...It should work too, though.
[Android Apps and Games] th_undead:
I heard that the first batch of desires will be unlocked and have orifinal htc firmware on them aka not branded lol :)

@dawmuz: thanks for posting the app.

Has anybody managed to receive a skype call using this version?

I can make calls to other skype users, but when people try to call me on skype, they get told

that my line is busy (it isn't!)

I would be interested to know if anyone else has this problem, or whether it's just me.

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] mattyguk:
I've managed to receive two calls through this app so far but only from one person on an Windows PC using the std skype client i'll get my missus to call me on her '3' skype phone later and test that.

I have occasionally had to dial out 2-3 times to skype when calling a skype user through it, i get a sort of service not active type of tone. I guess its that the 'data' part hadn't yet set up the session through skype, yet the phone was already trying to ring the dial in number.
[Android Apps and Games] stooby:
Interesting! My only incoming call test so far has been from my missus using her PC with the std skype client. She tried calling me 3 times but kept getting "busy".

She wasn't interested enough to find her mobile to try using the (symbian version) 3uk skype client!

I'll try to do some proper testing tonight and see how it goes.

Thanks for your help,

Hey Dawmuz,

can you explain how what you mean by a modded iskoot on three in Ireland? I'm looking for any solution that works with android as Fring over WiFi is not really comparable to my old skype phone and I don't like to switch the sim anymore whenever I need to make an international call.

Btw. I have an Milestone 2.1/rooted
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Cool. I will post it when I get home in an hour
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
This mod is for 3irl only.

1. Download the SkypePreferences.txt file and change extension from .txt to .xml.

2. Right click and open file with Notepad or WordPad. Find strings:

<string name="password">********************</string>

<string name="username">********************</string>

<string name="forwardNumber">+353**************</string>

and replace the stars with your actual Skype login password, username and your mobile number.

3. Save to your AndroidSDK/Tools folder.

4. Freshly install iskoot on your phone. Don't start the app yet.

5. adb push SkypePreferences to your phone with this command:

#adb push SkypePreferences.xml /data/data/com.iskoot.android/shared_prefs/SkypePreferences.xml

6. Start the app (It will take a while to sign in).Voila!

There's one minor issue with this: for some reason only the first received skype call routes through 3 servers (free call). Second and subsequent received calls are routed through iskoot servers, costing you skype credit. To avoid this just exit and restart the app everytime you have received 1 call. You can dial for free all you like.

Oh, you might need some skype credit for the app to work (it won't use it, though).

Sorry to quote myself, but in case anybody was wondering, everything seems to be working well on my Milestone.

The issue my wife had with not being able to call me from her laptop seems to have been a problem with her laptop (reboot and it works ok).

I have now made and received skype calls to and from both the std windows skype client and the 3UK skype client on Symbian and 3 Skype phones.

I'm really pleased to have this working. Thanks again to dawmuz and I hope you get it working in Ireland soon!

Hi, thank you so much for this,

I've been looking everywhere and this is the first working skype client I come across for the HTC desire on 3.

I tried to pull the xml file but I get a permission denied message,

[Android Apps and Games] icedan86:
hey guys,

I've tried both versions in this thread but none are working for me. the app loads ok but i get the following error message when trying to sign in: "skype couldn't connect over your phone connection".

htc desire, 3 uk network.

any ideas?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mattyguk:
hmm... thats strange!

Are you sure your in an area with a good signal and you have wifi turned off?

All i can think of (stab in the dark) are your APN settings correct as far as IIRC there is more than one way to set them up. And this caused an issue for MMS, so maybe as this app uses some of those details it could be a similar isuue?????

I have 2 lines in the APN's, 3 and 3MMS? as detailed somewhere else on this site.

If not that maybe a logcat would help us (EDIT: sorry, someone with more knowledge than me, but i'll try) sort it out for you.
[Android Apps and Games] icedan86:
Wifi is turned off. I tried this yesterday and got the error message but I thought it was down to a poor signal since I only had 1 bar. I'm at the office now with full reception and still get the same problem.

Re: APN settings, I also do have the 3 and 3MMS profiles as you mentioned. They look fine to me... anywhere I can confirm?

I'll look into logcat as I've never used it before and try get some logs!

Thanks:)

*edit: Found the problem. Mobile Network was off. I thought this didn't need to be connected to the internet since it's over 3's apn. My bad... sorry!

How to install?

Sorry, maybe this is a silly question but what do I do with the zip file?

I copied it to the phone, also renamed it to .apk but it doesn't all me to install it. Do I need to root my phone first? Do I need to use this with the SDK?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking forward to Skype 0.10.0.4 on Android 2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] wrsg:
you will find the apk file inside the zip file
[Android Apps and Games] jkub:
I tried unzipping it but it reveals a lot files none of which is an apk. I also renamed the zip to apk and tried to install using the package manager but the phone says it cannot find AndroidManifest.xml. looking in the zip it is definitely there. Would you mind sharing your steps with me? Maybe I missed something.
[Android Apps and Games] wrsg:

[Android Apps and Games] jkub:
would you be willing to share how you did this? I tried a number of ways but it always redirects me to the www version of the three store instead of the intranet version of mobile.three.co.uk

I tried on my 3g Dongle using both my cell sim and broadband sim without success.

Is there a way to change the user agent to spoof other phones on android 2.1?
[Android Apps and Games] jkub:
Aha, I just realized what happened. OSX automatically extracts the apk when I unzip the file. Totally masked what the issue was. I downloaded via Android, unzipped, and voila! Sorry for the confusion!

[Android Apps and Games] TheOriginalKi:
Does any one else find that when you sign into Skype, there is no way to quit the app while being able to auto-login next time round? I can only sign out and then go to my home page, but not actually exit Skype like I could on my 3 SE W995. If sign out, leaving the program running in the background, next time I want to login, be it after rebooting the phone or not, I have to reenter my details. :confused:

Using a SIM free HTC Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] mattyguk:
Not tested, but can you maybe kill the task using one of the many task killers? Then it, i would hope still autologin???

This seems a strange request as would you not be better just switching your status, why not leave it in the background as skype on 3 use is free????
[Android Apps and Games] stooby:
That's what I do and I don't have to login when I restart it.
[Android Apps and Games] TheOriginalKi:
Leaving any sort of IM running in the background is a real battery killer. I'll maybe consider an app killer.

That's great, might try it.

Back to Square one:

Greetings All,

Great Thread, finally found somewhere that chats about my favourite app, Been successfully using the 3 Skype app for two years now, first on my Nokia E66, and then on my Google/Nexus One, however I have just upgraded my phone to Google Android 2.2 Froyo and my 3 Mobile Skype app to version:

3UKSkype_0.10.0.12_hutch_live.apk

and now although the app software installs fine and starts to load, when you go to log in you get this messages,

The Application Skype on 3

(process com.skype.android.threeUK)

has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

The app has worked fantastically well on my Nexus One to this point even better than on my Nokia, but not now.

I have also checked the error message from ddms and this is what it is saying:

I don't know if that clears it up any more, I am first to admit that this is all getting a little over my head but I am prepared to learn to get this great app back.

To this end I have written an E Mail to David Kerrigan the Internet Services Director at 3 Mobile, but in the mean time, have any of you chaps got any idea's how I can get around this prob and get my beloved and money saving Skype app running again,

Kind Regards and Best Wishes ~ Ashe.

Hi friend...I am desperately looking a way to run skype on my unlocked Iphone 3G from 1year now. I have installed normal skype app from itune but whenver I use skype over 3g, it just utilize my internet allowance instead of my Skype calling allowance coz its not equipped to use Three default Skype client which comes preinstalled with other Three phones. I need a UK gateway address plz. I wud really appreciate if somebody cud find a way. I tried searching for Three customizes IPSW firmware so that I can flash my Iphone to Three firmware, but cant find it anywhere.
[Android Apps and Games] yourmate:
If you meant the skype client for 3 it's unlikely that you wil get it to run on an apple device as this being an android (and wm) program. Also you cannot get iskoot as they just finished with the service as of 20/01/2011...

It's time to switch to android ;)
[Android Apps and Games] djssquare1827:
Yes I am talking about skype client, I already own Xperia X10 which is from Three UK. But my wife uses iphone 3G and she has 5000min Skype call allowance as she talks international over skype to skype. So whenver she calls over Skype then her normal call rates and if somebody calls her over skype then it uses her internet usage which is only 100mb for a month as she is using Pay As you go. Can any1 help out plz.

Difference between Skype and iSkoot

Hi,

the problem is that some people don't know the difference between

- Skype (being a native Skype client made and downloadable from Skype) and

- iSkoot (a 3rd party Skype client made by iSkoot and used by 3 in UK [and in other countries])

If you install Skype on your mobile device it will _always_ use your data allowance _unless_ you use wifi.

However if you install iSkoot then it will use your GSM minutes to call a pre-set number and your "normal GSM voice call" will then be translated to a "web-like Skype call" by a gateway.

Then it's get a bit more complicated as 3 uses a custom iSkoot client which is set to call a 3 gateway phone number (different in each country 3 operates) - and that's why this call is free of charge as they're not billing for calling that number.

So obviously, if you want to make "Skype calls" for free then you:

- buy a 3 SIM card and

- try to install an iSkoot client on your device.

Let's see the platforms

WinMo:

- no downloadable Skype client as Skype discontinued support for the OS, but you can install and use old versions from the internet

- no customised iSkoot client by 3

- there WAS an original iSkoot client which worked on 3 after you modified the registry and filled in their gateway details - but from 22/01/2011 iSkoot has been shut down so just as for the original Skype client you can only install the old version

Android:

- Skype client downloadable from Skype (Market)

- there WAS a customised working iSkoot client for 3 for earlier versions of Android but there is none for Froyo (AFAIK - PLEASE CORRECT ME WITH A LINK OF A WORKING CLIENT!!)**

- there was an original iSkoot client on the Market but as I told you iSkoot has been blablabla...

as far as iPhone concerned - I'm not really an apple guy and can't be bothered really but there is a Skype client supported by Skype, so that's why your wife using her data allowance as she uses the original Skype client from Skype...

She can

- use wifi when available

- get an iSkoot client modified for 3 (if it ever existed for apple)

- buy a cheap and small "3mobile" for her Skype calls - she doesn't even have to top the SIM up ever!

Hmmm, I think I've done a pretty good job explaining the differences in Skype and iSkoot (aka Skype on 3) :)

[edit]

** Forget to mention that I've spoken to 3 Customer Service on last Sat - when I was thinking that I want to upgrade to a Desire HD, but I don't :) - and was told that "for Android devices Skype calls use your 2GB data allowance". When I asked what if I use a 3 client for Skype I got the reply: "if you know how to do it then it's free for you" :p
[Android Apps and Games] djssquare1827:
Thanks for ur reply...There is no point if she can use wifi coz she wants to use it on the move and because she is not able to use skype minutes on Iphone 3G so she is using her sim in Sony C902, there is no point to keep 2 phones with 2 different number doesnt make sense.

Lets see if I can get Iphone version for Iskoot if its available.
