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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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.
hey there is new market app out....is it possible we can get it too on x10

Yes same here. Very annoying. I had some apps that needed updating and when viewing that particular app, the 'update' button text is partially cut off at the top too!

I have noticed some of you appear to be answering posts from your Gtab and have the XDA app signature.
How can I send txt msgs from a NON Rooted Gtab? Is it even possible and what app would I need to do so. I use Handcent on my EVO and love the app but it doesn't seem to send txts from the Gtab.
Any help would be appreicated and Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you can get GV without having access to the market though.

Can you list the steps you used to install Google Voice on your tablet. I have tried a number of ways explained here in the forums but with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Google voice question
I saw this post and squeezed in some time to set up google voice. It did work in that I could send texts but I'm not sure what is happening. Is google using my droid x phone's text account - that is am I eating into my monthly texting amount with Verizon when I text from the g-tab? I tried calling my google voice number and my cell phone rang. I didn't answer it but left myself a voicemail. Interestingly enough, Google voice converted it to text and sent it to my gtab. When I send a text from my g-tab I get a copy on my droid x. I tried looking for additional configuration settings on the google voice website when I was signed in but if they are there then they are well hidden. I'm sure that with enough futzing around I'll find the right settings and being able to send and receive texts from the g-tab is awesome but I sure would like to know exactly how Google is playing with my cell phone. I don't think you can set it up without a valid phone number to verify with so you have to give them your real phone number. Experienced users - please chime in.
Wasn't hard at all, just DL it from the market. Make sure to load the Settings also.
It will then guide you through the setup which is really easy.
However, I have decided to remove it from use because it disconnected Handcent from my phone and I really like Handcent with all its features much better and since Iwill do very little txting from my Gtab and do most all my txting while mobile with my EVO, I see no real need for txting on the Gtab.
I will continue to search for another way to txt from the Gtab as long as it doesnt interfer with Handcent on my phone.

Square 1, as you can see by my last post, I wasn't happy with the Google Voice situation so I will ask you if using Sync sms will cause me problems as well. Since I would be paying for this app, I'd like to know if you know any downside to it. As I stated, I really like Handcent on my phone and I would like to continue using it. Will Sync sms interfere with it on my phone to your knowledge? Any light you or anyone else can shed would be appreicated. Also, can you send me the market link for this app please. I am having trouble locating a market that will allow me to DL to my Gtab.
Thanks again

The only thing with syncsms is that sometimes it takes a minute or two for the text to be received on the other end. The outgoing texts will show up in handcent just like you sent them from the phone. (that is actually what the app is doing, so yeah, it uses your phone texts from your plan (if not unlimited.

@ dig'em,
Do you have any idea where I can DL Syncsms to my Gtab? All the markets I have on the Gtab either will not let me DL or they say I already have DL'd it to my EVO and instruct me to pick another device. When I attempt to pick another device, either it won't let me make the selection or if it does, and I hit install, nothing happens on the Gtab.
I have it DL'd on my EVO and its running in the background. I have also noticed it placed two new folders on my DropBox, sms_out & sms-in. Searching my EVO with ES Explorer but I can't seem to find the .apk so I can copy over to my Gtab. I have also sent emails to the Developer which he responded to very quickly, but my last email to him hasn't been answered. In that email, I told him what I just said above and asked if there is a place where I can DL the .apk. Even sent him proof of purchase.
Can anyone assist me?
Thanks in advance,

You can use bluetooth file transfer (free in the market) to send apps between devices, make sure BTFT is installed on both devices. So from your EVO you can send the apk to your gtab.

Textfree is available on the market. I use it on my gtab, nook and inspire and it works great. If you switch from one device to another it will log you off the service on the previously used device before you can log in on the new one.

BTFT Will Find it for you, in the menu look for "send applications" it will compile a list of what you have installed. Check the ones you want to send.
The battery in my phone (Epic 4g touch) died last night listening to Sirius while waiting at the dentist. Luckily I had my tp and mobile hotspot with me. I hopped on the market to grab the app and low and behold it was not there. What gives? Why are some apps available for certain devices and not others? Would copying the .apk from my phone to the /system/apps folder work? My tp is not rooted (yet) and up to date with all teh firmware.
Can't believe that app is not supported, really bullsh*t if you asked me. Give this app a try: https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImFpci5TaXJpdXNYTWZsYXNoIl0. It apparently opens the flash login page in your browser.
Ya wont work on the Transformer, you have to use the one that goes thru the internet browser, sucks for sure

Wow that app had a lot of bad reviews. It's really a shame the app isn't available. Why would this app be available for my galaxy s2 but not for this device? Aside from resolution would it really be coded differently?
SiriusXM 2.0 app
Just installed on my Transformer TF101 and it works fine. IDK if it works with Canadian accounts.

I just updated the siriusxm app and now it works. It says v 2.00 in the corner just like d2kplus said. My prime is rooted and running stock. I copied the app from my phone to my sd card since i could not find it in the market.
