[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jx326:
As I was looking at the specs of the G2, I noticed that it does NOT have noise cancelling. When I first got my Nexus, people I called couldn't tell I was outdoors speaking to them.

Has anyone gotten comments regarding background noise from someone on the other end of a conversation?

I had hoped that noise cancelling would be a standard feature after being implemented in the N1.

Any thoughts and experiences would be great as I consider upgrading to the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
I'm pretty sure the mic is noise cancelling... from what I can tell. The quality of calls is on par with the MTS which had voice cancelling for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delahaya:
Very good voice quality

Not sure since it doesn't specifically say, but I am getting very good voice quality with my G2. Callers also have confirmed their end is quite clear. Love it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snuggl3s:
I thought to have noise canceling u had to have 2 mics? Idk not to knowledgeable on that hardware so correct me if I'm wrong but any N1 owners I've talked to on the phone sound crystal clear =)

fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tankmorph:
It would be hard to converse with an MTS user if the mic was indeed voice cancelling. That's weird. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acis:
Yes. One microphone is placed away from your mouth and tells the phone what sound to drop.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RotorDemon-:
I'm quite sure it cancels noise. I have the 3.5mm jack plugged into the aux in my Nissan Armada and have asked if the caller hears an echo or other noises and they say "No, it sounds like you are on a phone in a quiet room"
[Wildfire General] hobride:
Hello all,

i have a problem with my new Wildfire. I have tried to remove the branding.

I found a way to flash the phone with a goldcard and also i found the newest RUU Froyo 2.2 ROM

It works but the only languages are CN and EN, i need DE.

If i try to downgrade with an older RUU Rom i get an Error 140 Bootloader Version Error.

If i try unrevoked3, hangs the programm at "Wait for root...",

What can i do, Please Help me.

And sorry for this poor english.

Greeting from Berlin
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
It was an error installing the chinese froyo 2.2 rom, as far as i know, there is no way to downgrade. Did you not do a nandroid backup first?..........Doh
[Wildfire General] rolks:
to downgrade you need ROOT , and nandroid backup dont help(no use),...doh
[Wildfire General] hobride:
after my post i found a other thread with more these problems.

im not alone:rolleyes:
[Wildfire General] tuanvo1982:
you are not alone, I know someone who already had the same problem. Anyway, I get stuck as well with this chinese thing. However, I tried to download applications : google map, skype, navigator, meeboo ... then turning the language to English and now I am happy with that even I have noway to downgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom_riddle:
I'm using JPK firmware on my phone and I intend to install a lagfix to make it run more smoothly (currently it lags so much) but I don't know what kind of lagfix that I should choose. I see many people choose OneClickLagFix.

For anyone who is using this one, do you feel it improve performance on your phone? Is it safe to update to official Froyo from this lagfix?

Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
I am using jpk at the moment with ryans oclf and i find the phone near faultless. I can get through the day with moderate use, email checking every 30mins and still have over 70% battery. Only other thing i have done is install k9 mail as the standard one really sucks. I really dont see how the offical update is going to be much better than this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] GAda:
Because the Samsung Firmware is crap (my opinion), Skype do not recommend installing Skype 1.0 on SGS i9000, 2.1 device.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lokhor:
You can't even login using SGS. it's pretty bull****.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Technecium:
It says on the download page they are aware of issues with the SGS.give it time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
At least they released something. It´s just a matter of time that it will run on our SGS. I hope :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] GAda:
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.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] psp888:
This is crazy, the Galaxy S is probably the biggest selling Android phone and it doesn't work. Knowing Skype it will take them another year to release any updates or even fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] StNickZA:
Skype broken on Galaxy S it seems!

This morning I was greeted with the most awesome news that Skype for Android is finally available, only to be completely shot down to find that Galaxy S owners cannot log in.

Any ideas why this problem is plaguing only the SGS!? I hope there's an easy fix! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
So after intentionally holding off a release for Android because of their deal with US carriers, and preventing us from making Skype video calls on our phones by blocking Fring, they finally release a crappy buggy version for us? How nice of them :rolleyes:

This app can't do video calls either from what I can see.

Hopefully the new CEO is going to improve things and get Skype out of this hole they've dug themselves into. For now I'd rather use another app like Nimbuzz for VOIP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Skype is a flop, their app can't even do video calls. Use Nimbuzz or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] GAda:
Skype is working hard to bring you a nice Skype App for Android.

I see it every day.

The bug is caused by Samsung modifications, this bug does not exists on other devices. (Can't tell you more, because NDA)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] flyguy729:
hahha. AS USUAL! **** samsung. this is my last samsung phone! not even galaxy tab or whatever!

i buy a phone to use it out of the box n get nice custom roms, but it seems devs here a fixing prob rather than making nice customs roms like nexus one. zzzzzzz go die samsung

it says in the description that it doesn't currently work with SGS. give them a few days, it'll be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] psp888:

Hi theos0o, any chance this could be made to work with phones that don't have a front cam, but a regular camera on the back?

Obviously you have some know-how on how to hack skype :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
Well, that would require a lot lot more work and would take a lot of time.

I will look into it but I don't think I can make it.. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] soraxx:
I get App not installed when i try to install the patch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dishe:
So is this hacked APK Samsung hardware specific?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] peterpandesal06:
Will this work on my SGS4g? Imon stock froyo 2.2 any recommendations?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
Err, it makes the app think you got a Nexus S, don't really know if this means its Samsung-specific. Haven't tracked down the code..

Maybe I could release APKs for each device officially supported (masking as SGS/HTC/whatever) but I'm bored atm! :p

May/should work, but definitely NOT ON FROYO! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bigfoots:
Thank you very much for this version of skype.

there is just a little problem: in SGS during videocall it use the regular speaker and don't the Loudspeaker... could you fix it? or do you think it's my problem???

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MikeFRG:
THANKS

works on my i9000 and on my Tab also :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
I think it's your problem, the loud-speaker is being used here!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] peterpandesal06:

i have a question. since my phones been shut off. can i use skype? i can still use the internet, browse the market among with other things cept make calls and text ppl (i can text ppl using text free tho). so can i still use skype or no?

i am rooted and running cyanogenMod if that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] twistedumbrella:
Anyone care to tell me why (by dumb luck forgetting my user name) the email from inside the application to reset my password goes to a webpage that firefox tries to prevent my from entering and claims is unsafe, and the email from the skype site goes to a completely different page?

I recommend changing your password after using this application.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] non_toxic:
works, but picture from front facing camera is rotated by 90deg (SGS, cyanogenmod 7.1)

anyone knows how to workaround it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
You can decompile the APK and compare it to the original one. ;)

The only thing I've changed is the part where it checks which device you've got, in order to enable video-calling.

You can't change this I suppose.

Front-cam is landscape.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
The weird thing is, despite having.deinstalled the "official" app and installed this one, the market shows Skype as being installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tyxerakias:
Yes because practically nothing has changed. It's like installing the original Swype, only it thinks you have a Nexus S. In fact, if you do it on a Nexus S, it will be 100% identical to the original.

I decompiled the apk and compared it with the original. The change is minor, and brilliant :)

So all this talk about passwords and such is completely unfounded.

Well done again, theos0o. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dishe:
Right, which is why its so strange that it crashes on logging in with the G-tablet, yet the unmodified one logs in for voice calls just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tyxerakias:
It's not strange. Your G-tablet is probably nothing like a Nexus S phone. Forcing it to think it is, causes problems. For the SGS, which is more or less the same phone, it works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dishe:
Um, we're not making it think it is a Nexus S. All we did is remove the line that checks if it is one of those 4 phones, I thought. And those 4 phones are some HTC, some Sony Ericsson, etc... heck, it works on the Galaxy Tab apparently.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tyxerakias:
Ok, so you thought wrong :) I checked the code, did you?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
Wooo i got your pazwordzzzz. :cool:

Wake up mate, noone forced you to install it.

I changed the code so that it thinks you got a Nexus S when enabling video.

That's all.

Cya around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pablofu:
That doesn't work for me. Initially shows the video from front facing camera, but no matter what, wrong orientation.

Once the call starts the videos dissapears.

Thanks for helping me out, Skype is quite critical for me. So appreciate you telling me how you got it working.

thanks!

PS: I am on Miui Rom Galnet 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
I think you shouldn't have any problems..

Flipped image from front-cam is there indeed.

Anyways, try this file: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15256576&postcount=162
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tyxerakias:
Of course it doesn't work if you have the rom in your signature... you need gingerbread for videocalling to work.

EDIT: My bad, you have MIUI. :P Time to change your sig? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] strikeruy:
Thanks!! it's working fine on SGS 2.3.3
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pablofu:
Believe it or not, I cannot edit my signature...but I am on 2.3.4 with Miui Galnet.

I have installed this new built for blackscreen and doesn't work either. People see my skype picture, and no matter others are calling me with video, I don't get to see them either.

I have uninstalled the original as you said. Should I clear cache or anything?. If yes, how do I do that...

THANKS
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] haksam:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] theos0o:
I don't think it will work for you.

Maybe some incompatibility with your ROM.

Yes.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dishe:
G-tab also often refers to the Viewsonic G-tablet. That's the problem with abbreviations.

The G-tablet (which I own) seems to crash the app when signing in. Here's the thing, though- it doesn't force close. It just spits you out to the home screen, and shows a notification icon that it is signing in still. If you click on the notification from the pull down bar, it brings you back to the sign in screen. Repeat. Can't get past that screen.

...but it never force closes. Which maybe means there is hope?

I was under the impression that the problem is lack of real Gingerbread for the G-tablet, and I think this requires the new ginger camera API. But now I'm wondering- if it were missing a required API, wouldn't it force close? Why the bizarre behavior in which is stays running in the background, but doesn't actually do anything?

Mind you, the regular skype 2.0 (without the hack to enable video) works fine. Does anyone here have any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dishe:
New version of skype is out, supports more devices and froyo video chat (rear camera only).

Anyone want to rip this open and make it work on more devices? Some people are still stuck with froyo.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] StNickZA:
What possible reason could they have for not supporting the sgs, other than internal politics or the like?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bec07:
Skype are a bunch of greedy and lazy bastards. I had the N900 which was an undeveloped device with a half developed OS that inspite all shortcomings HAD perfect skype and Gmail video calling. If the minimal amount of work put by nokia in that device made it able to use videocalling via the net it clearly means the guys at skype aren't doing their job.

The limitations are in skype itself, added the fact that it's not working anywhere else but in the US. Samsung open-sourced their drivers and software and if the camera uses a slightly different api the skype losers can move their ass and integrate it.

Skype is it's own problem with their fascist api licensing policies and the huge effort they make to bring misinformation to the masses and completley control the service availability as strictly as possible.

Skype App Released

http://briefmobile.com/skype-launches-on-android

The official skype app has been released. Unfortunately, in the description it says: "Some handsets (e.g Samsung Galaxy S) are not currently supported"

Agh!

It does work on my 2.2 Froyo JI6 Captivate. Can anyone tell me if they got it working well on their Galaxy S I9000? What firmware as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] celeronix:
Works fine on my SGS with JPK ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sssparkkk:
On JPK I can login without problems. When talking to someone however, voices are very robotic. You can't understand a word that's being said.

Some of you apparently have no problems with Skype's voice-quality on JPK?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] skiddhard:
I do not really see how politics of any nature could be responsible for Skype not supporting SGS. :eek:

That said, like most commentators, my JPK runs Skype quite well. I really havent used it as extensively as I do on my iPhone, but it seems good enough.

The most logical reason seems the difference in the platforms, i.e. android 2.1 and 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vlad88:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sssparkkk:
Your voice-quality is OK? Over wifi, or also over 3g?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] captive:
You can check if you carrier is blocking somehow Skype traffic (to & from specifc IPs), or it's just a firmware version problem.

On JPK it works fine, on vodafone.it

Btw I suspect almost every carrier applies traffic shaping policies, narrowing band on voip, which can lead to bad quality in audio calls..
