Hi,
Does anybody knows a good skype client that works over wifi?
I found one on appbrain. But when installing it could't find the app.
Thanks in advance.

There is also Fringe application. But recently they had to delete Skype support so it's rather a substitute to skype and you cannot connect to skype friends via Fringe.
I found an app which is called Skype(beta).apk and seems to work fine.Is it legal to attach the file to the post?
You can grab a beta at bananalex(dot)com - works great on my Wildfire.. smooth
Skype beta is only for chat, no voip!
Does Nimbuzz work fine?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Nimbuzz works quite well, even if there is lag sometime..
but audio and chattin are ok!
Obvioulsy, it isn't Skype.. but it could be a good 'temporary' replacement!
I found an app which is called truphone and seems to work fine...
Hy all.I have me too nimbuzz on my wildfire because i want to use skipe but i cannot heard anything....i just can respond or call but no sound...i need to do some special settings or something?Please responde via PM because is kind difficult to find againt this threat and i dont have too much time due the university.Tnx a lot and sorry for disturb
I have the same problem as carter. Nimbuzz works, I can dial and call other skype users, but there's either no sound during the call, or there's a severe lag even on wifi. But chatting works great on Nimbuzz.
try 2 use wired headsets

Anyone else having problems signing in? I put in my details, press sign in, accept the licence agreement and then it says "signing in", then after a few seconds I'm back at the login screen again.

I can sign in alright .. if I place call on speakerphone it is decent but when I put it on my ear something is happening with the proximity sensor and the quality is really bad.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Every time I try to make a call on Skype my system crashes - the app closes unexpectedly after the 3-second black screen. Does anybody have same issue?

I think everybody stopped caring about the new skype release when they found video chat was still MIA.

Great News !!!
I just was browsing the android market and found two appz supporting skype. Ones called Truphone and I called another skype mobile and it rings it doesnt crash the dell but aint checked the voice quality .. but i believe its good.
the other i havent checked is called voxfon, but I will update later tonight with quality for both and good news is they both can be used as a normal dialer and international with cheap rates.
Ciao!!
Whenever my skype loads, my touch screen functionality completely goes out. Hardware buttons are the only buttons that will function
**EDIT** I'm on 2.1 as well. build 8105
today it's out a new skype, but not for wildfire.
how do i install it ?
is it possible?
I downloaded it from market. But i cant login :/
does anyone know how to fix it?
from market? from wildfire market? is there?
Skype say not supported.. due to Wildfire small screen
This is the one that works on 3 uk, dont know if it works on other networks though.

Don't bother, the Skype in the market FC closes all the time.
Also use appbrain to install it, See my guide in General section.

I mean appbrain market sorry
anyway it wont connect, i got connection error and i'm unable to use it
I downloaded it from the normal Android Market. Managed to sign in but it was a bit sluggish. The real problem was trying to exit the app. Apparently the Log Out option is in one of the tabs, My Info I think it was. Whenever I try to press that tab, I get a force close and the app restarts and logs me back in. Ended up having to kill it.
Don't know if I can call or text yet because I uninstalled straight away. Nimbuzz will do fine until they sort it out.
i could log-in via wlan,but skype crashed instantly when i tried to do anything (htc default rom)
Just installed and it's working fine....
Worked fine on OD 4.0.32. Really had no issues with it except the sneaky log out button.. im gonna try it on stock 2.2 and report back..
*edit* sorry my bad.. posted on the wrong forum.. :$

Wildfire - NO
Just installed on Wildfire (via .apk). Screen and graphics looked great, but when clicking on My Info or trying something else, it keeps crashing. Lets hope, that Skype devs will make it work also for this very popular device
Same here. I can login, but clicking on any button crashes the app. Very sad, I was hoping to finally have Skype on my phone.
I wrote a mail to the support, they just answered that the Wilfire isn´t supported at the moment.
So at least there is probability, that it's only "at the moment" and in future, there will be release for small res. phones...
Everything works fine,but i can't make calls.Chatting works fine,info works fine.

How are you able to chat? As soon as I try to, the app crashes. Are you using the app just released by Skype or a different version?
I'm wondering too... my crashed, before i tried to set online statu in My info...
work like charm no crashes so far
On Wildfire? It's interesting...
I downloaded and installed the beta skype apk from rapidshare.I cant make a call from wifi (skype credit only),but everything else works like a charm in my wildfire.I use the original 2.1 wildfire rom with no mods and stuff.
Hi,
According to skype blog, skype for android is available for all android phones with version 2.1 or higher
http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2010/11/skype_101_for_android.html
When I search for skype on the market I don't find it, when I try skype.com/m I get a message saying that my handset is not yet supported. However my X10 has 2.1 Eclair which by all means meet skype requirements. Any idea?
None at all... I installed Skype just fine. Maybe it's a geographical thing?
I'd stick the apk in my dropbox for you, but I can't remember where android stores them, and I can't extract the titanium backup one without the pc (I'm not at home right now).
EDIT: ok, figured out how (they're in /data, not /system) but is it allowed? Since it's a free app there should be no problem, right guys?

I guess so, I know many did put the .apk files here as long as it is free from the developer, we're against piracy
I've tried it as soon ac I updated my phone, but every time I start the app it says that it will not work with my task manager, so took it off

is there any fix for the market to make me able to find skype?
Just search for Skype apk online. That's what I did. You're right in that it doesn't appear in market and Skype's site says it's not available. I had that issue too.
Seems to take longer to sign in after 2.1 but works fine otherwise.
I used Appbrain and installed from my desktop browser using the web installer its so much easier and pushes directly to your phone no opening of market app required. As for Skype i find i like the way it works with the x10 i always have skype set to away on my desktop so when i sign in on my phone its kind of like a remote skype because it doesn't log me out from the desktop application.
Also from what ive noticed the notification sound when someone sends you a message only plays on the last device you logged into, so for example if i am on desktop Skype then later log in on my x10, Skype will mute desktop notifications and the phone notifications will play and vice versa kinda interesting.
In all i like the fact that we can make voice calls just wish we could accept video even though we cant send (no front facing camera, app limitations I'm guessing?). Skype is the whole reason I bought an X10 in the first place. Sorry for the long first post by the way, I just thought id add my two cents and experiences with skype for x10

I find apktor invaluable for getting apps that don't appear on my market. That's how I got Google Earth.

I cannot get video to work on Skype on my S3. Video is enabled in Skype Settings but still no joy. Has anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it? I can't find any thread about this. This is a deal breaker for me. If Skype doesn't work I will reluctantly return the S3 during my 14-day trial period.
Thanks
Works fine here. Just tested video calling 3G and WiFi with no problems.
Finger trouble or firmware version?
Skype v2.8.0.920
Edit:
The other party (Recipient) must also have video enabled.
You could also lower the video quality and test.

works fine here as well.
Thanks for the replies. Still a mystery. I have the latest firmware and the other party definitely has video enabled. I switched to other devices and it worked fine. The front camera does work but there's no option to select when I make a Skype call (over WiFi). If the other party calls me I can see the options but it still doesn't work and returns to a black screen. Lower-res test done as well but no luck.
I just can't see what's preventing a video call. I can do this quite successfully from my tablet, old phone and desktop but not the S3. I have uninstalled and downloaded the software again but it still doesn't work. Grrrrr!
Try a video call on Gtalk to test. Obviously check video is enabled in its settings for both parties.
If working, try wipe data/cache in settings/applications/downloaded or all/Skype. You well need to setup Skype settings, login etc again.
If still no good, reinstall Skype
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I did clear the cache. And one other thing: I can't close Skype. I have to use a Force Stop to quit the application. I've tried this several times and it always remains running unlike any other program I close (eg, swiping to the left from the running programs list). It doesn't show up in the task manager as a running program but the icon is still there on the top left of the phone. I wonder if some other process/application is interfering with it.
It's reassuring that Skype is working for others. I'm on O2 - could they have set up something to prevent Skype working? That's not my experience with other phones from O2 and I doubt that is the problem.
So did you try Gtalk (to confirm the problem is just with the Skype app) and also reinstall fresh from Google Play?..........
To exit, just our press the [-> button on the top right hand corner of the main start page

as i can remember, we have to wait for an update from skype... sgs3 is not yet totally compatible with the latest skype... it's not yet supported..it works but have some glitches... that's the case when i bought the htc sensation before... i waited for the update that includes sensation to the supported device.. only then that it worked flawlessly...
i feel you man... i'm still using skype but i only view their video on the other side, if i open mine, evrything turns black... lol...
it seems that if u use ur front camera, everything malfuctions...

I haven't been able to find anyone to use gTalk with - everyone I seem to know has an iPhone/iPad!
Still no luck with Skype. I'm new to Android so not entirely confident about flashing Rom. I'll try to find out from Skype if there is an S3 issue.
Thanks everyone for suggestions so far

Here are a few compatible apps for video calling between iPhone and Android

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem with Skype, so I thought I'd post here because Skype users are likely to read it ! :
Outgoing voice-only calls seem to work OK, but when I answer an incoming call, the GS3 screen goes completely black (regardless as to whether the phone was by my face or not).
I tried pressing buttons etc, didn't seem to be able to get it back until the caller hung up.
On a plus note, the call quality was great, but I really do need to be able to hang up the call!
Am I missing something obvious?
According to my tests, Skype video works when I'm connected to WiFi but I was never able to do the same under 3G.
I'm on a high bandwidth connection..but the person on the other side keeps saying that the video quality is ****ty. I have the Video Qualty setting on 'High'. The recieving quality is just great. Its only the video sent from my end. Is it the same for everyone? or just me?

Maybe you're upload speed has something to do with it, also tinge of day and network congestion (mobile towers overloaded).
Check your upload speed with speed test app

What is it? I tried Voxer and it turned out to be pure crap, I spoke it a pitch quiet room and my recording was nothing but static.
So I figured I'd ask here, what you use, we all know the DSM5 mic is an odd one though. Same can go for the speaker being stupidly place at the bottom near the softkeys instead of above as well. haha

Craig's Walky Talky!
ok, this does not use voip, no servers, no Internet required!
It has 2 modes
1st mode (default on run) it simply uses your wifi modem to relay your voice data, so everyone using the app on the same wifi network can hear each other!
2nd mode "enable ap" this turns your phone into a wifi router, once enabled on 1 device.. on the other android device click wifi and scan for the ap from the first device..
This mode allows you to talk out in the open anywhere anyplace using just 2 or more android devices just like a real walky talky!
