All Hail Phil:

Hey All,

Can we all give much respect to Phil, for being the first to get the solution on this thread I think now he is the official Hero.

Also can we now try and promote everywhere we can, twitter, facebook, blogs and the like that it is here, as if we get enough visitors I am sure that David Kerrigan at Three Will pay more attention to us should this ever happen again.

But I would like to say thank you to you all for this great thing, I have just tried it on my nexus one, and works perfectly, skype me @ itlboke if you don't believe me, LOL, just removing the iSkoot solution, from another thread, it worked OK but nothing like the official version and ate into you skype credit.

You guys are all terrific and thanks for running such a great and friendly thread that eventually through collective effort managed to do what it said on its tin.

Thanks so much, you are all brilliant.

Kind Regards & Best Wishes - Ashe,

Thank you very much for new version of skype:)

No problems. It only took me a minute to do.

Glad to help and just hope it works for everyone.

Froyo on a Tattoo

Hey Chap,

Great to see that you as happy as me with your skype on Froyo, but did not realise the you could put Froyo on a Tattoo, great news.

My wife has a Tattoo and loves the thing, any chance you could let me know how you got Froyo on it, and also if it runs alright, and also does it get rid of the sense UI, and make it more like my very Vanilla Nexus one, because that would be great,

Great work and can't wait to here from you,

Kind Regards - Ashe

Why the hell have these great apps only been released for 3. Hope they come out on other providers soon.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
RE: 3's Great Apps.

Hey Chap,

Don't think it is going to happen anytime soon, three uses a specially developed Skype Client that uses a standard but totally free, GSM Line, this means that it required very little processing power from the phone, plus generally guarantees you much better line quality in poor 3G area's, it also does not eat into your data allowance.

However it does have the limitation of not being able to make Skype out calls to the UK and it does not allow calls in to your skype in Number. However Skype are shortly releasing an official client for Android which won't have these limitations, although this will eat into your 3G data allowance, but you can also use it over WiFi. We lucky Three users however will be able to run both clients on our phone, getting the best of all worlds.

However in the meantime if you want a cheap way of having Skype on a handset, just pick up a cheap Skype enabled phone from a 3 store, they start from as little as £39.99, then you can use Skype free, and just put on £5.00 per quarter to keep it running, just thought.

Hope that this has answered some of your questions,

Kind Regards & Best wishes, Ashe.

I find it bizarre that it's taking Skype this long to get an Android client out, it's been so long since they trumpeted the iPhone one!
[Desire Themes and Apps] tfb0006:
Hi I'm new to this forum and I always use Skype and MSN. I'm just pissed that its taken these company's so long to create the app for android. Any one know of a great substitute for both, I've look through the market and found any worth while.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wrsg:
are 3 still releasing updates for this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] swiftplumbingandtiling:
Could somebody upload the apks for both skype for three and msn to rapidshare again please? I'd really appreciate it! I have an unbranded desire but three wont let me download them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] swiftplumbingandtiling:
Not to worry, I managed to do use using the second link but I had to disable WiFi first. Cheers anyway

thanks, but doesn't work with another carriers i guess...

what is the latest version of either app?
[Desire Themes and Apps] philje123:
Latest skype version is 0.10.0.15

and windows live is 0.5.18.4

just in case, anyone else needs the msn apk, latest version as of today from three uk.
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Hi guys,

Do you know if 3UK is going to update their skype client? It seems that they are using exactly same client as verizon, and verizon updated their recently.

Alternatively, is there anyone here able to make verizon one work on 3uk network? I don't know anything about apk , bbut my guess is that someone could "open" that client, put 3uk numbers in there and it should work. Just my guess, do go hard on me now :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] snakeeyes21:
Not sure if it's a new version because I've only just installed it.

But its a higher version that the guy above stated was the latest one.

Downloaded from planet three.

Version 1.5.0.13 dropbox apk link below

db.tt/l9a87xI
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
I've downloaded 1.5.0.13 version already. No joy, can't even see what's changed, probably some minor update.

I've been promised by one of the 3uk staff that he'll get in touch with me directly regarding update, because my main issue is that you can't use skype when wifi is on. I'll post any updates on the issue here.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wrsg:
why don't you just use the official app if you want to use when the wifi is on?
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Because i prefer Skype on 3. It's over GSM, which might not be as clear as over wifi, but got connection at all times, it's not using my data allowance when wifi is not around, it's much lighter, runs quetly in the BG without any resource drain (i want it on all the time). Official skype app is poor at the moment and needs some major improvements. It sucks battery like there is no tomorrow, not compatible with default browser, there are other bugs.

There you go, these are my reasons. Also, i think that updated version from verizon us improves a lot of things, and makes skype mobile really good for people whos network supports calls over GSM (like verizon and 3). And it doesn't shut down when you want to use wifi for market, internet etc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wrsg:
well, the reason you can't use it with wifi on is pretty obvious, i'm not gonna spell it out for you, use a bit of common sense.
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
What part of "Verizon made it possible to use skype mobile while wifi is on, so it can be done for Skype on 3 too" don't you understand?
[Desire Themes and Apps] wrsg:
i don't understand any of it, i'm suffering momentary loss of my english reading capability.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wihan1:
Awesome...was looking for this after upgrading to Froyo on my Galaxy S! Excellent work.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Hey all,

just a little note about Android Gingerbread, it looks like many of us will be able to upgrade in the coming weeks, however a word of caution, it is unlikely that Skype for 3 won't work straight away until they upgrade it again and that is likely to take some time, just like last time.

So if like me you rely on Skype for 3 for whatever reason you might want to hold off upgrading to Gingetbread until we get the official go ahead from David over at Three mobile like last time, but I think we will have a bit of wait, ho-hum, would be interested on your thoughts about this, hope to speak to you all again soon,

Kind regards and best wishes, Ashe.

How do you know we will be able to update to 2.3?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Had an inside tip that Google are having to upgrade the Nexus One because of hardware problems, don't know if the same will apply to the desire, ( the very reason I kept the Nexus One Google gave me and did not swap it for the DESIRE).

This I'd apparently going to confirmed by mid next week,

Kind Regards - Ashe.

[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Oh, well, it will take a while. First, HTC would have to update to 2.3, the 3uk. So I can bet even if it does happen, I bet it will be at least 3 months till 3uk customers get it. That's for non rooted phones.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Hey Tinky

Have just got off the phone with David @ 3 Mobile he has said that if there is a problem with running the Skype and MSN for 3 mobile Gingerbread then he will get his developers. (the scoot team, remember this is not the official skype app) working on it immediately unlike last time, so that is good news.

However like last time it really helps his case in doing this if we can get a number of users to tweet him as regards pushing it forward, I will give you details on how to go about this when we here officially about the Gingerbread release.

Kind Regards Ashe

i believe theres a version slightly newer than this, if anyone has it, please upload as i have been having problems with Skype over 3G recently. And i've tried downloading the app from 3 directly, but seems they are working out what phone I am on (I haven't tried spoofing the phone model yet) and it looks like they only offer it for phones that they support, so my G2 is getting no love :(

This version of Skype did not work on my ZTE Blade 2.1 ROM :-(
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Had a weird call from 3uk today. They said that as of 26 April, Skype on 3 won't work on HTC desire! So they are sending me Samsung s330 which is also android and will support Skype on 3. While I understand that according to contract all 3 phones are supposed to be able to make free Skype to Skype calls and hence another phone is being sent so I can still use Skype, I don't understand why all of a sudden HTC desire will stop supporting it. My only guess is that we might see gingerbread come for 3uk handsets and Skype on 3 is not compatible with it. What do you say to that?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Hi, have just spoken to David at 3 Mobile, and he says that it is just not the case I have a Nexus One, with an official Gingerbread upgrade and Skype works fantastic on that, David said that you should report it to 3 Mobile as he thinks it maybe a third party company speculatively trying to get you to renew your contract with a very fraudulent lie.

David is head of internet service at internet services at Three Mobile, and said they would never down grade to a lesser handset or allow Skype to stop working on a premium Android handset, he has confirmed that there are no issues with Skype running on Ginger Bread like there where with Froyo. So you might want to get back in touch with the company and tell them to sling there hook before you report them to David Kerrigan at Hutchinson Telecom Head Office, quite happy to do it for you if you get me the Companies Name or a persons contact details there.

Sorry to have to brake this to you, hope this is of some help,

Kind Regards & Best Wishes - Ashe.
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
While i did suspect something like that but it doesn't look that it's a third party. They knew my contract details and address, also what handset i had, basically only things my carries should know. Also dialed that number back and it does take you to 3uk (dialed just now and it says that department is closed, which is understandable in this at this time). He was adamant it's free of charge and there is no contract. Unfortunately, unusually for me i didn't take his name. Should receive phone on Wed, so I will know everything for sure then. Even if it's dodgy 3uk employee, i will have some time to return the phone and then it will hit the fan!

BTW, number he called me from is 08003584844. Quick search on the internet shows that this is a genuine 3uk number, tho reviews are quite bad, as it's normally sales people.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Sorry to brake it to you old chap, but have just spoken to David again, and that number does not belong to them in any context, he confirmed that this is NOT 3 direct sales. Any and All calls from 3 direct sales, would display on your 3 handset as 3 customer services with a +44 number ending in 333.

Apparently this outfit it showing up left right and centre and is very dodgy they will tell you anything to get you to renew your contract and this Skype con is just their latest ploy as many people like myself stay with Three because of the Skype Service. So you need to get them to take back whatever the have offered you, for a good upgrade just dial 333 from you handset and from their you can get through to the official upgrades team 24/7.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings again, hope that this does not spoil you evening.

Kind Regards & Best Wishes -Ashe.

PS Three, do give your contract details out to third parties to support upgrades, but they can't lie to get you to upgrade or re-sign.
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
No worries mate, i'm not too bothered, everything will be clear on Wed. Also, my contract has about 1.5 years left. BUT, if it is a con, whoever called me AND 3uk will be getting a lot of crap from me, these people for being dodgy, 3uk for passing my details to someone who can use them to con me. Also, dial that number and you will see that it actually says 3UK, and people must have complained to 3UK about these guys after all the sales calls they receved, and as it STILL says 3uk, it must be genuine, 3UK wouln't let any 3rd party use it's name, would it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
This is a Con and people are complaining, you need them to cancel the deal asap, you best bet is to call them tomorrow, explain that you are in contact with someone at Three head office and that you would just like to confirm their authenticity with you contact, then ask them for a full name and contact details, and then mail them to me and I will pass them directly onto to David Kerrigan for you, who will look into it immediately, Three have confirmed what they are telling you is not the truth, THIS IS A CON, be really careful, Regards -Ashe.
[Desire Themes and Apps] undercover:
Ok. I suppose i'll wait till Wednesday. They DON'T have my bank details, unless 3uk passed them on so they CANNOT setup direct debit. Also by law, I have few days to cancel any contract. I'll let you know of what's happening.
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Hey Sorry again, they don't need you bank details only a verbal agreement over the phone, when they pass the paperwork onto, Three they just update using the current bank details that they already have, and once you have agreed it is really difficult to cancel it, because the next trick is to say they are cancelling in but not bother doing anything, the next time you hear about it is via your bank statement and when you complain they just blame it on a clerical error. In the hope that you will be to bothered with the effort to do anything about it.

Regards Ashe.

any updates to the 3 skype client? i'm on 1.5.0.13
[Desire Themes and Apps] Gazbook:
Feeling a bit annoyed with Three that they claim my phone (an unlocked and rooted Xperia X10) doesn't support Skype on 3. Yet Downloading the .apk from here, clearly it does.

Tempted to complain to Ofcom but Three will probably argue they don't officially support the phone/platform/status of the phone. Seeing as I can get free messages and skype calls now I can't really complain...
[Desire Themes and Apps] sion:
Yer gotta agree, really love three's network, but there support staff know, nothing, had to teach them how to un-puk and android phone the other day, they told me it was impossible, doh, never mind, best thing is ask here first, always like to help fellow Android users, could of told you right off, my wife had an X10 and it works perfectly.

Oh whilst I am here, I would also like to ask if anyone knows of any updates on the Three Skype Client, I am on version 0.10.0.15.

Really happy to here that you got your problem sorted hope to chat again soon, XO, XO, Ashe.

[Desire Themes and Apps] ah_wong:

I was wondering if anyone has tried any type of ipod dock converters on their n1. In other words its a converter that will attach to the dock on one side(female ipod 30 pin) then either have a male usb or audio jack on the other side. If so what are your thoughts and which one did you get.

It looks real interesting, however, it does not charge the phone....and given the battery life, it could be a problem

I hooked this up to my Audi Music Interface through their cable with microusb and it's accessing my files to play, just like mounting your phone to a computer. While it's not pushing the audio through usb, mp3 playback is possible given you have the hardware(stereo dock) for it.

My default setting was WCDMA preferred. Recently just changed to GSM Auto (PRL ). Would love to get feedbacks from nexus One users especially from Singapore users.
[Nexus One General] xevilutionx:
using singtel and wcdma preferred. i start my day at 8am with 3G constantly connected. make about half an hour of calls, with k9 push mail constantly running. made a few smses, played an online game for 10min during lunch break (on auto brightness). when i got home earlier at 11pm, my battery was at 44%. played poker online for an hour using wifi, battery is now about 31% or 32% ... but generally in my area (marine parade) getting a good constant 3G signal throughout the day ... so ... no problems

and my bluetooth runs 24/7.it auto connects to my car for my drive to and fro work for half an hr each way ...

do you see any difference in switching to GSM auto?
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
I know this is totally off topic, but what data plan are you using?

I'll be moving to singapore in a month, which carrier do you recommend? Starhub, Singtel, M1? What's the main difference?

[Nexus One General] temasek:
I am getting far superior battery usage using gsm Auto (PRL ). I am using starhub.

The following are just my observations only.

Singtel - lower ping rate, better signal coverage

Starhub - higher average 3g speed

M1 - don't bother

I am using Starhub Smart Surf 300

- 300 mins outgoing calls per month

- all day free incoming calls

- 12 GB data plan per month capped at $30 if. I exceed 12 GB.

- S$58 per month
