I'm on a contract, but the problem is that the Android packages do not have Skype in them. I will try to speak with them tomorrow. Maybe they will enable it regardless. Lets see.

Any chance to modify the apk for 3Austria?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Freshly baked just for u!

First post.:D

Please post your feedback here, as I have no other way of checking if it works!
[Android Apps and Games] sengst:
Thanks a lot! Will report if it doesn't work!
[Android Apps and Games] spookyone:
App seems really cool!

What about baking one for Swedish 3? :D
[Android Apps and Games] drewcula:
Hey Dawmuz, will this method work on other carriers such as Vodafone?

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah, correct apk.

Tried with both wifi on and wifi off. Still no luck
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Nope, Vodafone don't offer this service to their customers.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Sure. It's on the way!
[Android Apps and Games] MacGyver88:
Sorry pal, this does not work for me. I'm in Italy with a 3 USIM. It does not connect on WiFi or 3G. It just says "Error" after trying to log me in for about one minute.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
It seems to work well for a lot of Italians!?!? :confused:

A few guesses:

1. This service will not work over wifi. Have your wifi switched off and make sure you have good 3G reception when connecting.

2. If you are on pre-pay, you might need to top up your account to enable Skype Service.

3. What APN are you using? Try and change your APN to just "3".
[Android Apps and Games] W3ber:
Nice work:)

Can u make for Hungary Vodafone 3G?
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
:) I'm afraid that would be impossible. It's a service that only H3G offers.

Help, back to square one again:

Dear all,

Fantastic Thread, finally a thread that is purely about my favourite app, been using the 3 Skype app perfectly for two years now, originally on my Nokia E66, and then on my Google/Nexus One, Now, having 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:

07-04 14:16:47.407: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1555): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-22

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,

Best Wishes and Hi Hopes ~ Ashe.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
It seems that a lot of people are having this problem with 3UK Skype and froyo.

I really don't think that 3 are going to help you there as you didn't get ur Nexus One from them, did you? It looks like you are going to have to wait until they rebuild the apk in 2.2 SDK. That is unlikely to happen until they start selling 2.2 phones. The only thing I could do for you is adapt an Iskoot for 3UK?
[Android Apps and Games] sion:
Hey thanks for the reply, very much appreciated, just to let you know that me and the team at IT Bloke Ltd, got 3 Nexus Ones from 3 Mobile to test and run with, as the desire was not available and we love them, so you could say that we have the only 3, official 3 Mobile Nexus one's in the country, or at least to my knowledge. To be fair there is very little difference between the Nexus One and the desire, and the 3 Mobile won't run on a Froyo upgraded one of those either.

We did also manage to get a reply off David Kerrigan over at three, however as you suggested they are currently testing Froyo, LOL, and we will have to wait till it is available on upgrade from them before they will release and update of the App, although he did confirm that it was only a singing issue in the client.

However I would dearly love to test a 3 orientated version of the iskoot client if you ever produce one for the UK, really hope that you have some success with producing it as their are a lot of upset people out there at this moment in time, all they wanted was Froyo and had to loose the functianlity of their skype app toget it.

Hope to hear from you soon with some news about the iskoot version.

Kind Regards and Best wishes, Ashe

I've added it to the first post. It should work fine.

Hey,

Just wondering can u make one for wifi users?? I am using Xperia X10.

Thanx
[Android Apps and Games] Timoros:
That sounds amazing.Any chance you could mod it for 3 in Greece?
[Android Apps and Games] MacGyver88:
1. I'm not over Wifi, and my 3G connection is very good.

2. I am on pre-pay, but my internet plan includes 600 minutes of free Skype calls, so I think it is enabled already,

3. I'm on the 3 APN: tre.it
[Android Apps and Games] danny_christ:
Super geil, please for singapore as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
1. What phone and rom are you using?

2. When did u download the apk from here (the first ITA apk I had posted didn't work).

3. Have you tried changing your APN to "3" instead of "tre.it"? It's an APN that also works.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Are you on the 3 network? This is a free service and it doesn't charge your data plan. It will not work over wifi.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no 3 network in either Greece or Singapore.
[Android Apps and Games] geri13:
Hi, thanky very much for this great job. Here in Italy on my Htc Tattoo works great but for the first time i had to wait like 15min till it logged in and i have your same pre-payed plan.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Grazie mille for your feedback my friend! Hope this helps the other chap.
[Android Apps and Games] sion:
Hey, Fantastic Man, just downloaded and installed and it is working fine better than ever on my Nexus One with Froyo, shame 3 Mobile cannot be as quick of the mark with such a simple mod, my skype address is itbloke, if you want to confirm it lol. Just one query though, did you use the "free" 3 Mobile skype access number in the mode so that it gives you the free calls, I would have presumed that you would have done, but just interested, will have to check if it is eating my minutes on my next call.

However I have just received a reply back from David Carrigan over at 3 Mobile and indeed they are looking into it, however now that I can tell him that I have it working already using the iSkoot app, I can tell him to pull his finger out and get it sorted LOL, it's like the vodafone and Froyo thing, just to smaller thing to generate bad word of mouth publicity over, and I presume this one a pretty easy mod.

Anyhow, fantastic job and many thanks this will keep me going now until 3 release there official Froyo enable skype app and Skype eventually get around to releasing there official client, I shall have it all one day I promise you, LOL, only problem is then, they will release Ginger and me being my greedy self, it will be back to the drawing board, or maybe just your iskoot app again, will publish the reply from David @ 3 in a new post so we all know where we are.

Kind Regards & Best Wishes ~ Ashe

[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Use it and enjoy! It should work the same way as the official app.

Do not tell 3 what you are using, they will plug the loophole so many of us are exploiting! It is NOT in their interest to have a lot of people jamming their servers and not paying for it.
[Android Apps and Games] sion:
RE: iSkoot UK test,

Greetings Blokes and Blokettes,

Fantastic just made a twenty minute call to a skype user in Holland on his laptop from a late night bar on my Nexus and it did not touch my free stretch mins at all, fantastic.

Will keep it hush-hush as regards 3, sorry as a legit customer, did not realise that there was a way of shall we say maximising skypes usage on other networks, have made and not paid for skype calls from my handsets for so long, that I forgot that other people have to, LOL, (I brought the first skype phone before there was a software solution on 3), better now that I only carry one really decent phone.

But once again thanks for this maximum effort on sorting our a real cool solution for us all, I deeply appreciate it and I am sure some one will second me in this thanks.

Kind Regards - Ashe

[Android Apps and Games] adityasen:
Hi dawmuz - thanks again for your mod - it has worked brilliantly.. well so far.

Skype to skype calls work fine, but I'm having issues with Skypeout.

When dialling out to Skype<->Skype calls, it calls +61430005341.

When calling on skypeout, it "used to" dial +61430005343, which was followed by a "the number you have called is disconnected". Immedially after that if I manually called back xxxx5341, it would connect to the skypeout number and all was fine.

But since yesterday, on skypeout calls it dials +61430005344, which doesnt connect at all, and hence I can't make skypeout calls anymore :(

Is there any way you could mod the Australian app to call xx343 instead of xx344?
[Android Apps and Games] Timoros:
I don't know about Singapore but for Greece there only 3 networks..Cosmoste Vofafone and Wind. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MacGyver88:
I have now installed the latest apk (even though I think I already had it). It's been trying to log in for 5 minutes now, and nothing yet. The APN was tre.it, but if I change it to "3" the browser doesn't work anymore. So I switched it back to tre.it

I'm now going to try and let it login. I'll write back soon (I hope)! :D
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Cheers for you feedback mate, I will look into that.

In the meantime - just manually dial +61430005341, like you used to, before the app initiates the call.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Well, I'm out of guesses for you my friend. Let us know how you get on!
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
I love you!!! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] MacGyver88:
Sorry pal, nothing at all. I made it log in for more than half an hour and didn't log me in. :(
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
OOH! I hope you're a hot female :D. Just don't ask me to marry you! :D:D
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
:( I'm sorry you can't enjoy this with us... I wonder if it's the phone you are using? A guy in Oz had the same problem with Htc Magic...
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
Haha :D

I tried to login but it hangs on the login screen forever (network: 3 ita - wifi disabled)
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
It may take a while to log in for the first time - give it some time, press cancel a few times and try again!
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
The fact that it is trying to log in is a good sign anyway. It means that the app works and is not crashing, it's just a server communication issue.
[Android Apps and Games] encho:
Hi, has anyone tried this on Xperia X10? Having no Skype is the only thing preventing me to buy one...

it works fine, perfect quality

no skype credit has been used; minutes from my 3 subscription has been used

great!!!! :D

[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
I tried to call a phone number via skype, but the call cannot be completed

it's 3's fault? A call to a normal skype contact succeeds correctly
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Were you calling a number in Italy? 3 only allows to call numbers abroad.
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
no, it was an abroad number (china)
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
SkypeOut calls are not free, did you have Skype credit?
[Android Apps and Games] ajeuk:
Try the Skype Lite Beta

I have attached the Skype Lite Beta it works for me with UK Vodafone - give it a try..

Tony
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
yes, i have skype credit, and i am on a skype subscription

now i cannot try it anymore, because i wiped for the cm6 :cool:

will try it later
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Thanks man but this app will charge you insane money to make skype calls.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Cool. Been waiting for cm6 myself (desire). Good luck!

[Android Apps and Games] encho:
Any particular reason why this has to be every 45 mins?
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
You're welcome! ...Heh? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
If you kill the app without signing out, 3's servers will keep you signed in for approx. 1 - 1.5 hr. enabling you to still receive skype calls for that long.

There is no particular reason, I just think that 45 min cycles are most optimal to ensure you are always online without affecting your battery life.
[Android Apps and Games] kokvod:
No works in greece
[Android Apps and Games] Gx3:
hehe take it as "you rock" ;)

however big thanks

i've noticed 2 little things on xperia x10 mini 1.6 (Donut)

1 never managed to login via wifi and incoming call number is "unknown" (maybe this is normal)

2 only logins when 3g connection is active and stable, if I open the app and then activate 3g it tries to login forever... sometimes hitting cancel btn solves
[Android Apps and Games] zhengjing:
dawmuz, can't thank you enough. Works perfectly in Australia mate! You are a super star!
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Oh, ok :D

1. 3 only allows for this app to connect over the 3 network APN (3G only), wifi won't connect. Any 3G data that this app uses is free.

2. It will only synchronise over 3G, which should be enabled prior to starting the app.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Really glad to hear that it works for you man, enjoy it!
[Android Apps and Games] darthnerd:
hi dawmuz,

is it possible for you to mod it for Singapore when you are free?

Also I noticed it works for 1 country only.

[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Skype on 3 is a service that is only available with H3G (Hutchison 3G) network operator, only in countries where this provider operates.
[Android Apps and Games] Pablerone:
This is very strange..... I have Nexus One with Froyo with 3P&G and gives me a Force close while signing in. This is happening with the 3UKSkype_0.10.0.12_hutch_live.apk and with the iskootMod3UK.apk gives me and "Error" when trying to log in. Frustrating...;>(
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
The official app will not work with froyo. Iskoot should work fine, make sure you have good 3G reception when signing in, also check that your password etc. are correct. If you are on P&G you may need to top up to enable the sevice.
[Android Apps and Games] Pablerone:
Working great now. Many thanks and very good work.

Hi Aussie Skype User

Previously I had a INQ1 fone and got 4000 mins on skype. Now I have a Desire and I am looking for a skype app that I can make free call as I used to have. I wonder if I use this app, will I still get free call from 3 Mobile or am I going to be charged as using Skype Lite?

Thank you very much : )

[Android Apps and Games] hananokeiji:
sorry for having a noob question. I am using 3 Macau and there are no services for free skype calls. Just wondering whether this is the software which allows me to use Skype with just Skype contacts? I have tried downloading 3 HK, then installing on my desire and when i signed in it says "you must sign up before using skype". (but i am using a valid Skype user account). queer.....
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
You need to check with 3 if Skype service is available for you. You may need to subscribe for it.

Btw, a of topic question (sorry): I haven't got the name of my carrier on android, is it normal for not "original" android?

I could see the other Italian carrier name (Telecom, Wind, Vodafone) but H3G is a blank line when I choose manually my operator :confused:

Skype from 3

Hi Dawmuz, I didn't had a Sd card in my Galaxy so that is why it didn't work, my fault. But since today I could download Skype directly from 3, it looks like it came from xdadevelopers, don't know maybe you had any hand in this but now I can finally use free Skype to Skype from my Galaxy. Going to test it later, on 3G and WiFi. Thank you for everything.:D
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Hi, thanks for the info, it's true! 3IRL have released it and it works perfectly. I've attached it to the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] mvnjpy:
can you please explain how this works?

how did you mod it and how is this app different from the iSkoot app you can get from market?

also, what do you mean by "free skype calls", can you call long distance for free as well?
[Android Apps and Games] legolas12:
Problem

I followed all the instructions. I try to connect but I always say that I have to subscribeto enter. I also tried to create a new account with skype but nothing.

Hi,

I've tryed the skype for H3G (3 Italy) with my Desire.

In my opinion it is not stable yet.

Often don't deliver messages and don't perform a call.

I hope iSkoot will fix these bug.
