Working fine here on Wifi and T-Mobile Germany with JPK Froyo.

AND YES, Sound quality is good on Wifi and 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fslateef:
I have Skype from 3UK on my SGS with FW XXJF3 (Eclair one) _and_ my SGS is Unbranded and unlocked. Skype is working very very well with calls and chat. I have that for more than 10-days now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] huxflux2003:
Where can we find this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sssparkkk:
Ok, Skype works fine over WIFI with JPK on my Galaxy S. I'm guessing it's my provider that's somehow limiting my bandwith for Skype (VOIP) resulting in the robotic voices. Too bad!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mvenneker:
same problem. cant login [ JF3-Eclair]
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vandal4e:
and where can i download this skype?from skype.com getting device unsupported still or its yet to be updated erm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Croolis:
exactly the same here ... and I can't find it in the market. Searching 'skype' gives 18 results, none of which is the new skype.

New Skype working on SGS

Well in the classical fascist Skype way, the new realeas is not supposed to work in a multitude of ways, one of them being on SGS.

This version, however does work on JPK (tested via wifi) so enjoy :)

Works a treat on JPK...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Yep, working beautifully here on JPK.

EDIT: Oh, and for those unable to find how to quit out of the app - sign out within the app and it closes.

I'm still on JPH and calling over Wifi works fine.

Got Skype from AppBrain: appbrain.com/app/skype/com.skype.raider

another app to my list of "To Install" when Froyo finally comes out

On 2.1 it installs, opens but cannot connect :(

It doesnt't work on my JPK

Can't sign in

It says that my account doesn't exist.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PhoenixFx:
Samething happened to me, while trying repeatedly it connected, but call was unbearably choppy and after a while the phone got stuck. None of the buttons responded. Had to take out the battery to shutdown the phone. :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] daenney:
The official release actually works just fine on the SGS, at least on the JPK firmware, it's pre-Froyo releases that have problems as has been confirmed by many in the actual 'release' thread.

Downloaded and installed half an hour ago from Market, chat works and both skype-to-skype and skype-to-landline works over 3G and WiFi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] INeedYourHelp:
Does it allow you to chat via front camera with someone on a pc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] milsjg:
Well it works on my SGS using jpk. Samsung has the best programmers and this forum is full of trolls (Can't tell you more, because of CIA) .
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] muzstar:
Nope unfortunately, would be perfect for me if it did
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PhoenixFx:
yes, this version is no different. Doesn't work on 2.1 JG4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] INeedYourHelp:
Then what's the point in this app? Doesn't Google Voice do the exact same thing? (Voip + gives you a phone number). There's also a lot of other apps that do voip.

All I want is a app that does all my instant messaging and webcam chat.:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bec07:
I couldn't log in the the market version...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Bec, are you sure that the one you linked to isn't just a reposting of the same one that's available for Froyo on the marketplace? (like maybe a lingering leaked release before the official one dropped?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] huxflux2003:
Google Voice only works in the States. Also I (and most people) have many Skype contacts and no Google Voice contacts. Google Voice must be a better service, but there is no point in using it you have no one to talk to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aeo087:
Works great for me on JPK! awesome sound quality, much better than through AT&T's network... I've only tried through WIFI, my 3G here is very spotty so I'll try it when I go to a place with decent reception...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Also....have now merged all three threads on this topic into one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bec07:
I'm quite sure the one from the market wouldn't let me log in...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] abar121:
Also working fine with JPK. Skype from the marketplace.

No login problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] trancelated:
the skype app is a bit buggy.

it needs proper WiFi connection, my connection is slow to make any calls :(

nevertheless a great effort by Skype to porting it to android.

I will continue using Skype Lite..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] suomaf:
Confirmed working on jpk. I am not based in the US and I can login, user my credits and call people. Video calling for me is not important. Well done skype for finally releasing something for android. I am finally iphone free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] eitama:
Skype for android released today

Is it working on your Galaxy S? if so what model?

Are there any bugs? Start talking!!!

i'll go 1st :

- Working, on JPK @ GT-i9000 - Installed from market, logs in fast.

- Voice Skype call quality is superb, better then landline to landline.

Go!

Edit : The purpose of this thread is to gather all the bugs and feedback into 1 post, i'll be editing and updating it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mobilx:
Working with JPK. Perfect quality of sound. Finally ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] skyworxx:
I can confirm: it does not work on Eclair on a SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] collin128:
Samsung I9000M Rooted Stock ROM.

Downloaded from the Market but the program won't let me sign in or create a new account. I tested my credentials on my laptop and there were no input errors.

Hopefully they'll let us make calls over 3G up here in Canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Frostshock:
Extremely disappointing that it doesn't work on 2.1, but since it seems Samsung got their act together in their 2.2 ROMs I don't mind much. I wasn't going to flash to JPK but I might before the end of the year now, preferably to the final version due in October.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] massigiulio:

DDJG4

Rooted, OCLF V 2.1 (stock rom)

not able to sign in, gives error message: "Unsupported Browser"

Skype's press release acknowledge's issues with a few SGS phones, and an update is currently under way
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Meister_Li:
Tried and watched it over day today. I'm using JPK with OCLF 2.0. It works well and connects without any issues. However, it seems to do something with the CPU all the time and drains a LOT of battery when running. About 10% per hour. Pretty useless like that, even Nimbuzz doesn't drain as much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cantIntoCode:
Argh, the day my phone goes in for repair Skype comes out for Android. It's a sad day :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] freakdahouse:
Works fine here :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Meister_Li:
JPK Rooted with OCLF 2.0 - works fine, sounds is good. SkypeOut and SkypeIn work fine. Battery drain however is not fine. About 10% per hour is WAY too much!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ro4sho:
Skype doesn't work on the 2.1 firmware. It's confirmed on the 2.2 firmware however.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tarambuka:
C'mon, give me a break, will ya? How come thousands of other applications don't have any problems with Samsung "modifications" affecting the application login process? Don't you think it's a little bit silly to pass your own failures to some third parties? It's absolutely obvious that Skype dev team has significant problems developing the application code.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
OMG this is the 5th!!!! topic about skype i find being posted over and over again today

please people search before you post soemething
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] joe galaxy s:
Just installed and works fine on Froyo 2.2 with JPH firmware.

Voice calling quality was perfect and login was no problem as well. Could use video calling option and file sending too, as well as better navigation, but otherwise the app seems to function flawlessly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Hyperion82:
The app doesn't work even with 2.2 JPH ...

very disappointing ... I really hope skype will get to the fix ASAP ..

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] arj03:
Doesn't work on jm5 :((
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] joe galaxy s:
It did actually work a couple hours ago when I tried it but doesn't seem to be logging in now. It's not just the Galaxy s however as I can see from the marketplace comments that all other brands cannot log in. Must be a skype overload.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] oxider:
just installed this evening and have all but getting the same lame can't login screen :(

I'm on JPK btw, but no success so far.

tbh it feels like it's not event trying, had the same response time from 3G, Wifi or airplanemode..

UPDATE:

signed in easily today, definitely a network problem yesterday :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
Just crossposting here from the Nexus One forum - Skype worked for me (Canada) this morning over wifi, but now it won't log in. I think the login problem is systematic - check the Market comments.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tarambuka:
Apparently they have serious server-side problems as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cyfawcett:
Makes sense to me. Haha, thanks for the update.

QUOTE=GAda;8465068]The problem is solved with Froyo.

Skype can't fix it for Eclair...

I can not write more about this problem, because I am under NDA.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MAMBO04:
Yeah, can't log in. Skype server problem, should be sorted soon i hope.

On another note, it took Skype a nearly a year to develop an app for Android. One would think they'd develop it first for an open source OS, but nooo the iOS gets it first.

Petty.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
There seems to be some consensus on the Nexus One thread - the app isn't even managing to contact the server by the time it gives the "can't sign in" error. The app installs, it works for a little while, and then something breaks and it can't talk to its SkypeKit libraries anymore. The app is fundamentally broken :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mike.sw:
Works almost perfectly on JPK.

First, simultanios login is possible so you can get calls and chats both on pc and your phone, sweet.

Call quality on wifi is good. On 3G seem to be crappy - I hear perfectly but the other side say I got a lot of hangs. Might be the program or the carrier who knows.

Some bad things: the UI is kinda messy. Took me some time to find how to show online only, how to sign off etc.

Skype doesn't rememeber settings like password and login on startup or contacts display mode.

Also it adds UK perfix for all my phone contacts so I can't call them from SkypeOut (it doesn't change the actuall contacts, just in skype). Can't change it for now.

The worst thing is it tends to crash while working in the background for some time. It keeps showing "Skype signed in" notification, but app itself is down. Had few of these crashes today.

All in all, I think it's good version. Good to see Skype finally on Android for all of us, not just Verizon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] clubtech:
Glad you got it working.

I tested it myself and like all the other VOIP apps on the SGS, the other side of the chat is complaining he can hear himself (echo at very high levels). Have you encountered this as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
At first it wouldn't log on my Galaxy S running JM1. Now it has just logged in and works fine! Perhaps a Skype server issue and not a Galaxy S issue at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vrhunski:
I can't login on skype atm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
Update. Sound quality was abysmal over wifi. Battery ran out, restarted with new battery now can't log in to Skype again. It did remember my username this time though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dakine:
Its useless for me over 3g haven't tried wifi yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rajuki:
Working fairly well for very 1st Android version.

Using JPH.

Used voice calls over 3G and wifi and the quality is very good indeed.

UI is messy as mike.sw said. I am sure it will be improved over the future releases.

All in all, a good start for Skype for Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Prasad:
This is very disappointing... I was really looking forward to using skype on my phone... But if it really is fixed on SGS Froyo, then I guess that just adds to the list of reasons to wait for froyo... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rogo-1:
To all those who can't login to Skype even with Froyo:

You need to logout from your pc first (or wherever you're currently logged in).

It seems like this limitation exists only for the very first login, afterwards simultaneous logins are possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
Further update. Still not able to log in again on Galaxy S running ECLAIR despite having successfully logged in once. Tried the downloaded apk earlier in this thread but that made no difference.

It doesn't even appear to attempt a log in and says it detects an unsupported browser when clicking on password reminder, which makes the one time it did log in all the more puzzling.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tma200:
I also managed to log in just the once on my SGS running JM1 in the UK. Called someone (Skype to skype) while connected to home Wifi - voice was all broken up and distorted, had to end the call. The sound from the other side then looped on the phone in a really spooky fashion and Skype locked up. Couldn't do anything with the phone, finally got it to shut down, restarted and removed the app post haste.

First app to crash my phone. Good one Skype.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
It just logged me in again after numerous attempts. It is currently syncing contacts, which it did successfully last time. I did experience the same thing on vice calls so I'm not optimistic.

Looks like we have to wait for FROYO, which Samsung UK promised they are working around the clock on on Monday or for Skype to build a fix. Wonder which will be first?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
Same thing happened. Called the echo test contact and the sound was sputtering badly and the phone slowed to a crawl afterward. Sigh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] allotrios:
Well to be fair to them, they got skype ruining perfectly on the n 900 about a year ago. Fully integrated too! But maemo is really open source.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kfasheldon:
Just so you know if you are on 3 OK and use this new apparently you will use up your data plan , it will not be free on GSM like Skype on 3 app
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pekka91166:
Just installed Skype on my SGS.

Unfortunately, over GPRS, soundquality is unacceptable (which is understandable), via WiFi it's excellent en absolutely usable:).

I'll have to find a spot around my home where i've got 3G or H, then check the soundq again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] X3STeNLiTE:
I'm using skype for android on ssgs. It's well. Sound test pass. Echo test pass. I think it's cool.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] massigiulio:
Skype working well

At the end I got ii working after a few reinstall and the creation of a new account, that worked good since the first day. The problem was to get my original skype account to be recognized.

I got JPK with root and OCLF
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tim182:
I just managed to log in on mine on JM1 stock... I have a feeling the issues are server and not software related and somehow the servers don't like the galaxy s lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
I thought that the first time I managed to sign in from JM1 stock. Then the app froze my phone on voice echo.

Then I realised when it doesn't sign on it doesn't even attempt to contact the server, the "bug" is in Skype not recognising the default browser.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brunes:
Until they get video calls working I have no use for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
The stock Samsung Galaxy S does video calling already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mike.sw:
No, not over WIFI anyway. Didn't test it too much over 3G since my data plan is tiny.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PhoenixFx:
Even though video calling utilises the 3g network, it doesn't use up your data allowance. Because video calls have a different (usually higher) call rate and you can have video call support without a data plan. At least that's how it works on the networks I've used..

For example my current plan gives me unlimited free 3g video calls to those who are on the same network as me (virgin mobile australia), but I have a limited data plan.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rajuki:
I don't think that's the case. When you are referring to video calls using your operator itself, then - yes, you pay a higher connection and call fees but if you are using any software or VOIP service (like Skype), then it should be using your 3G data plan service provided by your operator.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PhoenixFx:
Yes, you are right, I was referring to operator video calls, not skype/fring/nimbuzz (voip) video calls.anyway,i realize now that the poster above me was referring to skype; of course since this thread is a skypethread... I must've had my wires crossed, lol... Sorry for the confusion.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Kethead:
All you people complaining about there being no video calling (mainly the ones saying "typical Skype" or whatever, if you'd done some googling, you could read that before they released this version they've already said that they're working on video calling but it wouldn't be in the first version
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mike.sw:
oh and another annoying thing, skype starts up after reboot... uninstalled till they will stop it or make an option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] louis chan:
when fring works fine on my i9000, skype can't. to blame samsung is not an excuse.

after fring's incident, i will avoid skype and plan to move to other voip client when possible.

such a company won't have my support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SlowRain:
That's my thinking too, but it won't be easy to unseat Skype.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] asicman:
Skype has promised video calling for all android phones by the end of the year.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] newmail:
I've the JPK rom with froyo and I found skype in the market, it works great. To close skype however I've to put it into background with the middle button and kill it with the task manager, no "exit" button and the usual exit button is useless.

Also the contacts aren't ordered (no online on top) so every time I've to set it to show only the online contacts...

Sounds quality is great, and it also hooks with the volume buttons (unlike csipsimple where I've to manually set the mic gain to 0.2 and speaker gain to 0.5 to get perfect sound and no echo on the other side but I can't increase/decrease the speaker volume during the call).

For real phone calls I only use csipclient (open source, and cheaper than skype and better integrated in the android dialer too) but it's good to have skype to be able to call online skype contacts for free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] newmail:
I think I immediately deselected the autostart the first time I got into settings, not sure if that's you mean but I get no annoyance after reboot (probably because of that).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
This is weird. I have managed to sign on once or twice on ECLAIR but it always quits and never stores my password, only my username.

Rebooted this morning and it automatically logged me on. Very strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 5H00T4:
Skype App now has Video calling, but only on selected devices (Nexus S beeing among them).

Any luck in enabling this for Galaxy S as well?:o

I have i9000 JVP. Skype 2.0 apk that you uploaded installed and worked fine. It says v2.0 and interface is different. But there is no option for video chat. Someone should modify this apk I guess.

The same version of Skype is available for download via the market. However it says that video calling is restricted to the phones mentioned above.

Try it!

(First uninstall official app, then install my apk)

Video-calling requires Android 2.3!!!
