[Nexus One General] lostsoul3471:
It all depends on what they had previously for a phone. People who went from a dumb phone that lasted for a week on standby and more likely 3 days with regular use will get all sorts of uppity. With smart phones, it turned into getting it charged overnight as the norm, at least it was with the last two WinMo iterations I had before getting the N1. The theory goes that it should be the same with the N1 but consider exactly how much more you actually do with an N1 vs WinMo.

The battery life is comparable with the iphone if not just a bit worse due to the N1's ability to actually multitask. Ask any iphone user and I'll bet there's the ever so spiffy tiny little wall charger handy or readily available.

If you go the route of CM and a UV'd kernel as well as making sure you're not searching constantly for any cell network(ie: get off WCDMA Preferred), then you can realistically get back to that charge only overnight routine.

Everyone's mileage will vary on this one. Adapt to what YOUR standard use is and move on. If that's not good enough, then seek out the services of fleabay and Craigslist to recoup your losses and go back to a dumb phone.

re 3 uk wefi

the skype 0.10.0.8 works on 3g only as far as i know.the wefi side of it will not work with 0.10.0.8.i use skype in fring with wefi and that works great here in the uk.so if i am out and about and the signal is good on 3g with 3 uk i use it,but at home or near any hot spot i use fring with skype on the wefi,all so use the zip voip in fring to make cheap phone calls,cheaper than skype. they told me in my local 3 shop,that there will soon be a version out of skype for android with both wefi and 3g,

I am here in my house 40 miles north of London.in front of me i have a Desire and Nokia N900,on 3g 3uk i have a job to make a call with skype on the Desire,but with the Nokia N900 i have no trouble at all,the signal strength on the n900 is all ways much stronger that the Desire,i have also found this on wefi that the signal is allways much better with the N900 than the Desire

Doesn't work for Tattoo Froyo

No luck on fyodor-froyo-tattoo_v0.7.1_2, even 0.10.0.12 version.

Same error message was thrown out with all three versions (0.9.0.9, 0.10.0.8 and 0.10.0.12) during login.

I am on 3 UK. The old 0.9.0.9 version works perfectly with on-stock 1.6 ROM but refuse to work after upgrading to 3rd 2.2 ROM.

I really do not want to downgrade to 1.6 ROM but skype plays an important part for an international student. Any workaround would be highly appreciate!

have tried to log in again many times now and still get the same messages on trying to log in, I think that there must be a compatability issue with Froyo and the Three Skype app, got really excited there for a minute thought that I was going to get my favourite app back, missed it since going to Froyo, but not going back now just to get it making do with iSkoot, I know David Kerrigan and his team at Three will eventually get the problem fixed, however, don't upgrade to Froyo if you want to keep using Skype on Three, LOL,

3UKSkype_0.10.0.12_hutch_live

3UKSkype_0.10.0.14_hutch_live

I am currently on version 3UKSkype_0.10.0.14_hutch_live which still does not work with Froyo, I am assuming the the new version will be one of the following so it might be worth searching under these as well, but I could be wrong, so please correct me if I am:

3UKSkype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live

3UKSkype_0.10.0.18_hutch_live

3UKSkype_0.10.0.20_hutch_live

or even

3UKSkype_0.10.0.22_hutch_live

I really wish that Three Mobile ( 3 Mobile ) would pull there finger out with the one, as with Froyo and Three Skype I would have my perfect phone, if anyone has any further thoughts on the matter would love to here them,

Hey chap,

Yup Skype on three on unbranded Android phones does work really well however they have not solution for Froyo, 2.2 so if you want to keep using Skype through the three network then don't as many of us have upgrade to Froyo, Froyo is fantastic and speed the phone up now end and gives you tethering, but no Skype on Three as yet, so a bit of a compromise one way or another, hopefully three will pull there fingers out soon and get it fixed, and then we can all have perfect phones again, LOL

Monday Morning, just thought I would check in to see if anyone had any news on the Three Skype update, they really do seem to be dragging their corporate heels on this one.

If you have a desire, it might be worth visiting the three site on you phone and seeing if there are any updates available, URLis:

http://mobile3.three.co.uk/837_sc - I think but you can only get there through your handsets browser and not on WiFi.

RE: 3 Mobile, Skype, Froyo Update:

Hey all,

Still no luck, have been searching everywhere just in case it slipped out into the wild with out us noticing. It seems that as more people purchase new Froyo handsets and the old one one get updated to Froyo more people end up here looking for what now seems to be the holy grail, 3 Mobile Skype onboard a Froyo handset, gotta say it is really annoying me to.

3 Markets themselves as being one of the few networks that truly supports Skype but can't get this update done. Apparently it won't work simply because internally it simply does not say it is allowed to run on a Froyo handset, not because it can't run. There are many people who updated officially and it is still working, it is something to to with entering you user name and Password, so it would not take much for Three to put this right, I even think that someone who knew how to take the program apart may simply be able to add one or two lines of script and our existing .14 copies.

Anyhow I am going to send David Kerrigan at Three mobile an E Mail tomorrow saying that the number of people wanting this upgrade is now growing quite exponentially and that maybe he should look at expediting a solution as quickly as possible now, don't know quite know how much good it will do though.

One thought is that if we all wrote really polite tweets to him as I suggested in my previous post then this might speed thing up a little more. I am a great believer in the power of Twitter, and so are Three mobile so you never know,

his twitter address is: @crinuboy

I would suggest a tweets saying:

if we all send this including the #3mobile it will get to the powers that be at 3 as well as David and hopefully spur them into action for us.

Once again thanks for this great and very polite thread all, it make the wait for the skype all the more bearable, lets see if we can now influence 3 collectively in the same positive way.

Kind Regards and Best Wishes to all Ashe.

WOOHOO!

I believe that 3 have finally gotten round to updating skype, not impressive if, as noted above, it was just a matter of tweaking a few lines of code.

I flashed a new rom so I downloaded fresh from 3 using their mobile site, it logged in and seems to be working fine after a few test calls. Slight warning, I'm running a vanilla defrost rom, let hope there aren't any compatibility problems with various roms and/or sense. After all, if your on the xda forums reading this, I doubt you're running an unrooted stock rom :)

(small note, this only runs over the mobile network, does anyone know of a working skype app which can run over wifi? I know it's free but wanting to keep skype running during normal internet use while at home and let's be honest, the 1GB that 3 give us gets burnt through pretty quick)
[Desire Themes and Apps] philje123:
Thanks for the heads up!

Just installed and working fine.

Not sure about skype over wifi. Not needed it tbh.

And besides I thought we got free skype anyway so that shouldn't use your data allowance. I use facebook, windows live messenger, market and browse web pages quite intensively and never come anywhere near using all my data and I only get 500mb (got the cheaper plan that came out and dissapeared in May)
