Hey all,
I know all the carp thats going on with skype and everyone else except verizon users, but i just wanted to know if there is another reason that my phone freezes every time i use skype beta. Is there anything i can do about this?
no one? is there a way i can generate a log or something that can help someone help me?
i need to figure this out....
Same to me. So I use now another tool. Everytime I installed Skype Beta the phone freeze
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Skype was made for Verizon only because of an exclusive deal AND because that version of it isn't true VoIP, it uses CDMA, which we don't have on our HD2, so don't be surprised if it screws up and freezes. Just wait until later this year when they should release a version for all Android phones that is true VoIP and even has video calls (if you have a forward-facing camera)

So Skype is working on many Android phones, just not on the HD2 (or at least I havent found a way to get it to work). Couldn't find it on the market and downloading it on skype.com does not work either.
Does anyone know why? I mean if it us running on other Android phones, is there maybe a third way to get the application on the phone?
Skype works on the hd2 but they removed from skype.com
Search here or google for "skype windows mobile 6.5" and
you will find a link to the client.
Sorry forgot to mention that I also run Android on my HD2 and are looking for the android version of skype. Any ideas where I can get that from?

Yea I did, its not on the market. Who here is using Skype on the HD2 with Android and how did you get it?
I was able to download skype from the android market. Installed successfully but once you try to actually chat or call.... it force closes he app. I hope somebody figures out a work around for this
i'm with 3 and managed to get it downloaded from their portal as they are heaviliy promoting skype.. but to download it you need to be on 3 i think

That's very strange. I downloaded, installed and ran Skype from the Android market yesterday. Just did a search for 'skype' et voila.
Hey all,
I've been browsing around the XDA forums for quite a while now, and normally always have been able to find a solution if not at least some relevant information to any of my issues regarding my S2.
I'm currently on Vodafone AU and have the Skype pack on my account, which allows me to use Skype via the Vodafone network rather than over data.
The problem that I am facing is that after Skype was updated to the latest version, I can no longer connect. The app (Skype on Vodafone, not the Market one) tells me 'Couldn't connect to Skype'.
The previous version of it worked just fine, however I never anticipated this problem so I did not make a backup of the old app.
From testing I have been able to get it working on the stock Vodafone ROM, but not on a Custom ROM. I am currently running Cognition S2 1.15.
I assume they coded the app in a way to verify the type of ROM that you are using so you can only connect if you are using the Vodafone ROM.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get a workaround on this issue? or for that matter does anyone out there have the previous version of the app?
I do use Skype quite often, but don't really want to use the Market Skype since that goes over metered data; and I really do not want to go back to the stock Vodafone ROM.
I've uploaded the current version of the Skype App, if someone needs it or it proves to be helpful.

If there's any extra info I can provide that I might've omitted please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any useful information in the matter.

Hey mate do you still have the problem? I have installed LeoMar ROM, but my Skype on Vodafone app works fine, also I used to have the Lite'ning ROM in wich it worked perefctly as well... I have the last app update in a Samsung GS2.
How did you install the Voda Skype app on Cognition Rom? Find that source APK and install that over.
greetings guys,
im planing to get the samsung ace within two weeks and i need it mainly for voip and specially skype
now ive seen some posts online saying that they couldnt install it and it always reboot while the installation process, and since here is the best place to ask for solution i was wondering if you could tell me
thx
Skype, no problem at all. Dont worry if you're not gonna use the video.
(no reason to buy ace if you're gonna use the vid function since it doesnt have a front facing cam xD)
i heared that skype is putting restrictions based on the country and the best way to avoid it is by rooting the phone and installing the akp ( correct me if im wrong) is it true and if so where can i find the file (A)
thanks alot
I had not a single problem with skype. No restrictions or anything and I used it in like 5 countries.

Hi,
I am trying use talkonaut for my gtalk2voip on my new Samsung Galaxy S II running on android 2.3.3
What i have noticed is that although i am able to place a call, the other party cannot hear my voice whereas I can hear them quite clearly. I think this related to
Android Os 2.3.3 only. As my sister who has Samsung wave running on android 2.2 and my wife who is having Xperia Mini running on Os 2.1 are able to make calls without any problem.
Any ideas ?
Please dont suggest to use some other voip service, as i am living in UAE and voip services are as such almost bannned here.... Besides gtalktovoip is the cheapest voip i have known so far, I have tried to use Nimbuzz, fring etc, to login into google talk so that i can use gtalk2voip.... but they dont seem to work at all..
vbuzzer, skype are all too costly...
try flashng a 2.3.4 rom to see if that fixes the problem.
I am using GalnetMIUI and using the 2.3.5 version. Even i face the same problem and i think it is because UAE is blocking some port.
To overcome the problem i use Gtalk Voice Chat feature using gtalk2voip.
Hi,
Did you get a solution to your problem? I recently got the S2 and seem to face the exact same problem. Im living in UAE too. My friend who is using the same software on his iPhone 3 seems to have no issues at all. Please do let me know.
Cheers!

I am trying to use gtalk2voip in my new Samsung S 3 using talkanout but it gives an error message of some XMPP service problem!!
Hello, I've been trying to get on g+ hangouts on my new streak. As far as I can tell, it's only available on 2.3 and up. Could someone please confirm whether they can use the g+ mobile hangouts app on a streak running gingerbread?
Or any sort of custom ROM. Even Skype I would like to know. I've heard fring works on streak, but no one uses fring...
Hangouts work (Last time I tested)
Although last time I tested the phone had to be in landscape mode, otherwise your video stream (The one sent to other people) will be upside down
This maybe fixed on some of the newer 2.3 roms
