Skype just released an official Android app for everyone! You can download it for www.skype.com/m or get it from the direct link posted here: http://www.sizzledcore.com/2010/10/05/skype-for-android-released-free-calls-are-finally-here/
[Nexus One General] y2whisper:
Good job posting direct links, it is also in the Market.
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
it is no longer available, may be verizon pulled the plug:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] Devastatin:
I just downloaded it
[Nexus One General] rgbc:
Figures, just as I get most people switched over to Talk Skype finally rolls out an Android client, hopefully this will now encourage google to make Talk more feature rich.
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
Finally, im excited about this. I wonder if it will work oversees via wifi like the android version. Hopefully This will get Google to release the mobile version of GV true VOIP
[Nexus One General] poorg:
No longer available, please repost...
[Nexus One General] cqms13:
Its in the market - free:):)
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
I don't see it :(
[Nexus One General] Hash123:
I had to used Marketacces to see it in the market

not sure why is it not available in all markets
[Nexus One General] HTCinToronto:
I've installed from the market but the stupid thing won't authenticate. Guessing that's how they locked it to US only. Really sucks that.

If anyone in Canada gets it working, please post details.
[Nexus One General] Txtraveler:
I found it in the market this morning (5 Oct '10), but the comments are pretty universally negative. I'm going to hold off installing it until the evidence suggests it works better.
[Nexus One General] mattpannella:
wifi only in the US

needs app2sd support
[Nexus One General] massari90:
I got it here in australia. Works fine for phone calls (3g and wifi). No video calls.

Only thing thats annoying is I dont know how to close it >.> I force stop it and its still in the notification bar hahah...
[Nexus One General] lambasurm:
oh my!

isn't this the first time ever, when something great is available to Europe and the rest of the world before the States
[Nexus One General] janfsd:
You go to the tab "my info" or "my status" or something like that and press the menu key, a sign off option will appear and that should log u off and take u to the login screen. After that, simply by pressing the back key should close skype.
[Nexus One General] junooni.1980:
Works flawless on my n1, make calls to US, Canada & Overseas on 3g. It was kinds chopy in teh beginning but then was smooth.
[Nexus One General] hktony:
how come, it doesn't work in UK ...

any experts figure what mystery inside ?
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Canada here (Vancouver), running CM6 on my N1.

This morning I downloaded it from the Market at 8AM and forced it to SD. It logged in over my home wifi and three test calls worked. I signed out and went to school.

Now I can't get it to sign in at school, either over wifi or 3G (Wind Mobile). I think something must be screwed up with either the client or Skype's servers.

If it helps, here is what alogcat gave me when I tried to log in just now:

I'm no expert but that "could not connect to SkypeKit runtime" seems to suggest something wrong with the way the app is written rather than server trouble. Sanity check: Same results even if the app is installed to phone memory. And other people are reporting login problems too.

I wonder if this is an incompatibility with Cyanogen?
[Nexus One General] Rendellious:
In Canada with an Aussie N1, downloaded and installed just fine, works pretty well too, although had some keyboard issues (stock Android keyboard) to begin with, restart seems to have fixed it though.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I think they're having server problems, because it worked great this morning, but now I can't login (I'm running CM6)
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
was about to say this...it was working fine for me earlier as well and now it just jumps straight to an error whenever I attempt to sign in. Think maybe all the Android downloads caused an overload or something?
[Nexus One General] Kithop:
I don't think so - that error (that I'm also getting on my N1 w/ latest Cyanogenmod nightly (188) ) looks to me like it's having problems connecting to SkypeKit. SkypeKit looks like their set of APIs and an SDK for making things connect to Skype. That's why it fails logging in so fast - it never even tries or makes it out to the internet; the service or whatever they're using locally is broken or breaks itself after the very first sign-on.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, moving it from SD to phone and back, rebooting, clearing data, and running the fix_permissions script (part of CM?), all with no luck. I'm tempted to re-flash the nightly build, wipe cache and dalvik-cache again and see if it makes a difference, but whatever it broke it broke good, and is tucked away somewhere special. :P
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Is anyone getting the login error on a stock N1?

I wonder if the app just somehow "breaks itself". It launches, you can make calls, and then on a subsequent launch it somehow screws itself over so that it can't interact with its own software libraries.
[Nexus One General] gqkevyn:
Boo for WiFi only! and the program is pretty big. I'll pass on it for now.
[Nexus One General] tyoma_first:
I am. I was able to login and do some chats/calls with no problems, but after few sign-ins/sign-outs it just stopped working... Hope that Skype can fix that soon.
[Nexus One General] robertoestivill:
Same stacktrace on HD2 running ShubCraft 1.5 ppp ( based on cyanogen 6 ) running from microsd.

I don't know what the issue is, but the error message is coming instantly after pressing the button, which tells me that is not even going through the network.
[Nexus One General] logger:
YES, Stock N1 here with the Cant log in bug.
[Nexus One General] superg81:
i cant get it to sign in.im in the US. :confused:
[Nexus One General] Xel'Naga:
Yeah, Skype REALLY needs to work on this app some more. First off, a 14mb install is unacceptable. Period. There is no need for it to be that large, when Fring does essentially the same thing (albeit crappily) for a fraction of that install size. On a Nexus One with a stock ROM, 14mb being eaten up is crippling.

Second, it's slow. Even if I overclock, it's slow. It takes forever to switch tabs, to load contacts, or even to register the fact that I've clicked something. That's pretty much unusable if you ask me.

Third, why in the world would they not enable 3G support? For such a large step in the right direction, they certainly stumbled over what may have been the killer feature that would make it preferable to other apps like Fring.

N1 w/ XDA App
[Nexus One General] yumcax:
The WiFi calling restriction is US only... I assume that carriers here payed out the ass to have it disabled. Funny, it's the exact opposite of Verizon's version, which only worked through 3G.

IMO not worth it, its a 13Mb install and is laggy even on my overclocked N1. No video call, no 3G calling (In the US)... not worth the space on my phone.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Damn, you guys have some really terrible carriers over there in the US. here's hoping some dashing young developer find a way around it for you guys.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Can anyone point me to where I set the android default action for voice calls. When I first installed skype I could select a contact in the N1 and when initiatiating a voice call I would get a choice of skype or phone.

I set phone as default action for voice calls. Now of course the menu no longer appears. But now I want the menu back again.

Have tried:

removing and re loading skype

Applications>Manage Applications>Messaging>Clear Data.

Applications>Manage Applications>Dialer>Clear Data.

Any ideas on how to restore it?
[Nexus One General] mhenstri:
Quickest way i found is to install another free dialer from the market and fire that up, then it should ask you again. Not 100% sure if it will keep asking you if you uninstall the dialer again though.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Top marks for lateral thinking. Great suggestion thanks.
[Nexus One General] tyoma_first:
Started working for me this morning... will see for how long :)
[Nexus One General] tyoma_first:
You were to close :) here is what you should do:

[Nexus One General] logger:
Ah thanks. Gee - so I was close. On my N1 that is just off the bottom of the screen so I did not see it.

All good now - so thank you for that.

Hey all, the Skype app has been officially released on Android Market. What sucks is that it claims no Galaxy S support.

It does however work on my Captivate with Android 2.2 JI6. Does it work on Epics with the older version of TouchWiz maybe? Does it work on anyone's Epic?
[Epic 4G Themes] LordLugard:
Does NOT work on Sprint Epic 4G stock (no root, just stock). Basically won't let me sign in. Plus what's the B.S about only WiFi use for U.S but the rest of the world has no such limitation? Any way to trick WiFI-only apps to use 3G (like on the iPhone)?

Can some smart folks rip it apart for us not so smart peons? :)
[Epic 4G Themes] lepapirriky:
Please do, hopefully they will release a new update so we can play too.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerox:
Hello there,

I have a qeustion:

My HD2 with the software in my sig, sometimes wont respond when i try to unluck it, or sometimes i cant press the W on the onscreen keyboard, could it be that the place where the W is on the onscreen keyboard, is broken?

Or could it be something with the ROM/Radio?

It also happends that the screen doesnt function at all, also the sensor doesnt flip my screen, i have this witl almost all HD2 ROMS, just pick one WM or Android and it does this frequently.

But sometimes there is nothing wrong, i can easy unlock and also press the W again.

Any tips?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerox:
No one? :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azerox:
Seems no one knows how to help :(

Ill be flashing stock SPL and ROM and return it to the store.

I think it is the screen it self, the little part where the W key is doesnt register touch anymore. (if someone says this could not happen for example, that would help, cause i dont kow if only a "part" of a touchscreen can be broken).

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beaverman20:
s stands for security, and has nothing to doo with rooting, s-on means that you can't write to the /system and /recovery outside of the recovery mode, and s-off is not needed to run a custom rom, or use rooted apps... so youre good even with s-on...

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laurenz:
Hi,

I am using WM6.5 (system 5.2.21869.5.0.82, Manila 2.5.19202525.0, ROM 1.05.931.10 GER, radio 1.14.25.55) since more than a year, and it went very well. Very rare crashes, the only problem has been that the battery management does not prevent deep unloading of the battery, and that in the radio off (flight mode) status, it sucks the battery quite quickly. Everthing else had been great.

Now the phone has suddenly several strange problems, after I used the GPS with TomTom for several hours (it gets quite warm due to the GPS power consumption):

1) The phone is extremely slow - everything works more or less, but updating any screen or starting an app needs very much time. Cold booting as well.

2) The big clock at the main page is not updated. Only the time in the status bar (upper right corner) is correct, any clock on the main page remains on the same time until a refresh of the display is made by exiting any other menu.

3) The contacts list is empty and shows only the search dialogue (which is so slow that I even dont know whether it will find some day anything). However, the list is populated, I can access it from the telephone menu (lower left icon) without problems.

Any idea for a quick fix without reflashing? Is there a diagnosis tool around which can be used to check for hidden processes in the memory or hardware defects?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBRiddick:
Maybe problem with TomTom. Did TomTom exit completely? Maybe is TomTom still working in background. Look in Task manager is Tom still active.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laurenz:
Problem probably solved - rapiclnt process killed

Nope. TomTom was not running - that would have been strange since I did several cold starts during the last days.

But I installed a task manager tool and had a look to the various processes. I found a JBed daemon an killed it. The rapiclnt process seemed also strange to me, and I found a thread about a possible bug in this process (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zhengpei/ar...hangs-anti-virus-software-and-activesync.aspx). So I killed it as well. The active sync connection stopped, and when resumed, rapiclnt was not running anymore. And the phone behaves well again! Clock on the main screen updates regularly, the X1 is quick as before, and the contacts list works again.

I hope that was it, let's see. If any problems remain, I will post again.

Hi

Anyone know how to mod the News and Weather widget (genie apk) to not show pictures?

Im using an already modded widget (transparent)

and it looks lush on a black wallpaper, problem is that the pictures are lowish res and just take the shine off the overall look.

is it possible to stop them from showing somehow?

if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be most pleased.

thanks everyone
[Desire Themes and Apps] nzdcoy:
you could try editing the .png files inside.

pull it from the phone

open the .apk with and .zip program

look for the relevant .png files

replace each pic with a 1x1pixel transparent .png

push back to phone

if the alignment is out then you will have to use transparent .png images that are the same size as the originals. this will however leave a gap on the left of the widget that is empty (where the pics were)

Hello,

Please recommend me the app.

I'm looking for mail application which can receive mails from one account (corporate exchange in my case) and automatically sends (forward) this to another mail account (gmail).

probably you know another ways to do this? I'm asking about this app on android platform because my cell tariff plan is 3g unlimited, but I haven't host *nix or win at home or office to perform this forwarding.

the best way would be the check an email from exchange server from gmail account like imap and pop3, but unfortunatelly, default gmail account has support for these ones only(pop3/imap)

In the near future once an android tablet comes out that has GPS and dosnt cost me an arm and a leg i will be intergrating it into my bmw.

Since many tablets have usb host and on the web i can purchanse an ibus to usb adapter which people use when they make a car pc would this work with an android tablet? to control volume tracks and maybe even voice control/calls etc.

Does anyone know if anyone is working on the android software which would allow the tablet to recognise the ibus signal? this would be purfect for me.

Can anyone help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kadolf:
I doubt that you'll get a helping answer soon, because there are not many people knowing about the IBUS.

For people who don't know what the IBUS is: It's a communcation bus used by BMW for controlling most of the cars electronics (light, radio, navigation system, electric window, ...). There are adapters for controlling all these things with a PC, so it should be possible to do this with an Android App.

But I'm affraid that there is none available at present. Also I think the app is not the only trouble: You'll need a working driver for your adapter, too.

So long

My initial plan was to do that with my htc desire but unfortunatly it dosnt have tv out or usb host (OTG).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 640k:
old post, but i might be on the same wavelength as you, except with some changes.

android tablets will already do most everything you need, so my plan will be to ditch the head unit all together. in the spirit of the carPC and liliput touchscreens, my goal is to come up with a custom docking unity in the space of a double-din (which means i'll be required to use a 7 or 5in tablet). from there, the rest is relatively easy... or complicated.

the problem, so far, is i've yet to see any android tablets with a way to extract audio without using a headphone jack. so creating a docking station will be difficult in the sense of attempting to attach the audio.

so a couple things have been going through my mind;

1. you won't have to worry about power saving as much as a carPC. the tablet will be mostly safe to run off of the USB power (hooked directly to a 12v source) or maybe through a power inverter. removing the battery would eliminate concerns of dead battery, exploding battery from heat, etc., etc.

2. most built in FM tuners require the headphones to be attached to act as an attenna. can't be that hard to engineer the headphone component to work back into the car's radio antenna, it's just a matter if there's any benefit to be gained.

3. speaking of audio, once it's out of the device, it's just a matter of conditioning and amplifying the signal, which is all proven technology.

4. there's a huge probability that i'll skip an "in service" device in favor or a wifi only one, and then use tethering from my phone. still to be decided. i'd hate to add another cell line to my already high bill.

5. most, if not all, of the tablets will have some sort of hdmi out capability. attaching the device to external displays should be easy as pie. unfortunately, everyone will probably see what is on the main display, which may not be a problem. what might be a problem is accessing and using an SD card (of any size) to store movies, mp3s, etc. you're only so limited and it might be a little bit of a pita.

anyway, these were just some of my ideas. i know the interest is out there. the "dock" is going to be a little tricky. the tablet needs to be instantly accessible (easily removed), yet secure. i suppose you could fabricate something to where the audio cable is loose enough that you could attach it before docking.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 640k:
are you talking about the android-driven HUs about to be released? from my understanding, they're just utilizing it as a core OS and not in the format you're used to on a phone, etc. similar to how Ford/BMW uses MS in their systems. i don't believe it'll have access to the market, which is a negative IMO.

the HUs might be sweet, in relation to what's available, but unless it's a dedicated tablet, i doubt you'll get the functionality you'd want to expect out of Android.
