Guys, I know people are having trouble with Skype on Atrix where the microphone sound is distorted and extremely noisy. I have figured that this is not limited to Skype but all VOIP apps! May I know any fix or if Motorola will have the software fix for that?
Please I really need to use Skype everyday because my family are oversea.

No its not working. It's been discussed in Motorola forum but I just want more people to know before buying Attic and see will there be quick fix from this community.
Maybe this will help.. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
It is an "unlocked" version of Skype, I think originally for Verizon. With this unlocked apk you can also place calls on 3G. Others have reported this working on the Atrix. I have it on mine but being new to Skype I have not yet tried it properly. You do not need root but since att blocks non-market apps you will need to "sideload" it. I prefer Android Centrals Sideload Wonder Machine: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine

This is another huge reason I don't like about Android's fragmentation.
It seems like Qik is the only app that supports VOIP correctly. But most of my contacts are skype and Google. Gosh...

Fring updated their app to support the Atrix! The update is not yet on the market, but you can get it by following the links.. Heres the story: http://www.androidcentral.com/fring-updates-video-calling-app-support-moto-atrix-and-dell-streak
Let us know how it works I haven't had time to test it.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem in voip atrix? I tested with SBF Retail in Brazil and to the SBF operator course .... and pick out the same problem occurs. I used to test a wifi 10MB.

I have tried to use Fring and ooVoo with my Atrix yet neither of the apps are using the FFC. Anyone have those issues? How to fix?
You can try qik or yahoo messenger.

You have to wait until the developers of these applications update their programs for the Atrix....The phone is just out for 2 days...so try to be patient.....

Yes I have the same issue the only video chat that works is the "qik for motorola" app. It's made specifically for the atrix. Tango didn't even get a screen ad fring only showed back cam... Give them time they will fix it.
Has anyone been able to install this on their atrix?

I have tried however no luck. It said that it cannot install. There are other folks who tried it on the XOOM, and other android phones, and so far no luck. Not sure if Skype has locked it to the Thunderbolt. Also you should consider that the Atrix is a dual core, so there might be voice and video issues anyway.
This would be great if it worked on our phones
no luck here either... hopefully we can get this working soon!

Now if we can only figure out which shared library it is, then we might be able to make something for the atrix! Just an idea.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031514
bottom line, it will not work on any non-Thunderbolt phone running Froyo. Period. The FFC drivers are not the same.
I'm trying to video chat with someone on skype and apparently when they try to video chat it says unable to connect. Is skype working fully on the Thunderbolt yet or is something up? I'm running an aosp rom if that matters.
Appreciate any insight

I have done it with newest version of Skype from Market. You need to be on Gingerbread to use FFC though. I have successfully done it TB to TB, TB to DINC2, and TB to PC via Skype.
You both need go into the Skype app, from the main screen press menu then settings. Go all the way down and ensure the Enable Video Calls is checked.

I've done this and enabled video chat. However, when i actually try to videochat with someone (been trying with a PC), it reverts to voice only as soon as the call is connected.
Also, with google video chat, i installed the patch for rooted users to allow it to work, but all i get is a screen full of a big mess of color and stuff, plus a little box in the bottom with my video feed in it. really strange.
Running Synergy if that matters.
works just fine on bamf 3.0

I'm pretty disappointed with the iphone 4s announcement, because that's what I was going to get my wife. Its very important for her to video chat with her sister and family who lives 10 hours away. I currently have the atrix which never plays nice when it comes to video chat with iphone users, so I want to know if anyone has had success with video chat particularly with iphone users or even Skype?
Thanks.
May not be the same, but I've been able to video chat using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with an iPad 2 using Google Talk.
Im pretty sure skype should work, as well as tango, and apparently google talk, I really doubt video chatting should be an issue at all

I can confirm all work. You have to make sure you have the newest Skype and enable it
Tango should work too
Skype, Qik, and Tango, tested them all with my wife's iPhone 4.

Fring also works well.
I tested Skype on S2 with iphone 4 and an HP Touchpad, they all work together well.
Better than it did with my Atrix although it did still work with the latest version of skype on the Atrix.
I use skype daily to video chat with my daughter while on the road.
For Skype video calls to work, do the following:
1- Download the latest version.
2- Sign in.
3- Settings
4- Scroll all the way down and you'll see various options... most importantly the option to "Enable video calling"
5- The Skype app might need a restart... so sign off, and sign back in.
Speaking of Skype, I have the latest version but noticed that it drains the battery noticeably (even when not using it). Anyone else is having the same issue?

Out of these 3, which one seems to work better... or is better preferred?

The only good video chat apps are tango and gtalk cause they don't kill battery when not in use I have found

Skype is best. Gtalk is good too. For Gtalk video, there's an optional flashable zip file of it that has the video-calling enabled version. Works like a charm.

Its usually an optional add-on in the Rom Manager app (like the Gapps zip) that you check off, and it'll flash itself with the rom... but I looked around and found you the .zip file that you can successfully flash yourself. Hopefully it works.

There's no need to flash anything to get video calling on Att sgs2 by gtalk. It's included.

Yeah, Red5, only flash if you have a custom rom that doesn't have the video-calling compatible Google Talk app. Sorry, I assumed you would be on CM7, not stock and what not :s

Oh, I thought that was the CWM fix to enable Gtalk over 3G instead of being locked to wifi only. Id like to be able to use Gtalk over 3G too.
Anyone got Skype working on rooted Nook Tablet?
I think this is the major differentiation over the KF due to presence of microphone and one of the guys who owns a rooted table should try this out, so that others can decide

Have only done one voice call tho. Chat is fine. Not sure which apk - i just google for one and installed it. I dont have the full market installed yet - been ableto find apk's for apps I use.

Does Skype recognize an internal microphone?
I've heard there is a problem:
"I had no problem installing the Skype app or logging into my account. But the app wouldn’t recognize the NOOK Tablet’s Microphone, which means it’s impossible to make voice calls. You can only use Skype as an instant messenger app on the NOOK Tablet."

I've got the latest Skype running but it has issues. It can send IM's without issue but voice phonecalls are buggy. When making an outgoing call to someone on a contact list the call is established but then drops immediately, and then an incoming call from the person you rang suddenly appears even though they didn't call you. For a while I had it answer a call and apparently seem to maintain it but on the Nook I couldn't hear the remote party - Skype seemed to be confused with the nofification volume and the media volume. When the notification volume was all the way down it muted the incoming sound completely. When the notification volume was up, that's when I couldn't get it to maintain a call. Very weird. Not really usable.
That was my experience anyway, would be interested in seeing what other people find with various versions.
Can you check which version of skype you are using so I can try it. The latest doesn't seem to recognize the microphone.

OK, so I thought I'd try this again and its a no go?! I had tested it initially with my wife's computer and she answered the call etc. Now it also drops calls as soon as picked up. My version is a "raider" version for this forum somewhere and not the lastest but a link for ppl having issues. Non the less, it's not working now
Which apk?
The android market says it is incompatible. I got an apk on the net, but it insisted on a mobile phone number.
It looks good, signs in and calls out but drops the call after about two rings. Does Skype need gps? I was thinking that if we could get a gps spoof running that might do it.
I was calling a landline which I had control of and it even rang so I'm close. I can tether to the gps on my phone but that defeats the purpose. I suppose I could do that to see if it's what skype wants.

Wasn't sure I had it still - I have "com.skype.raider2-1.2.apk" in my downloads.
I've reinstalled it and it is acting the same as what i had installed.
Sorry I didn't keep more detail, but because it seemed to work, I didn't think much of it. I imagine now that I've done lots of other downloads, mods etc, something must of messed it up.
The most major one since then would have be the multi keyboard stuff. Either that or it was just a fluke that it worked. My wife is my participating witness tho

OK, a little more digging reveals two files. The raider2 one mentioned above and one named "Skype_2.0.0.47_v06.apk".
I tried to attach them but they are both over 9megs and the limit is 8M.
Having a gps signal didn't help. My theory was that Skype needed a location so that it billed properly.
Currently calls drop after two rings (which make it to the line being called) and advanced settings cause a force close.
It's too bad. being able to make the occasional call would really make this an even better vacation device for out of your home country.
---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------
A little bit of progress. The apk from this post rings the other number until connection then drops. Advanced settings still FC.

If you are asking for the Skype version, it's 2.6.501.97. If you need the apk file number.... uh, I'm still pretty new to android and even tho I can build and hack a pc, I'm having trouble naving my NT. I'm still looking for the file and I'll post it when I stumble over it.
Okay, I give up. How do I sent a chat message to someone? I can't find anywhere in Skype that has that option. Whenever I click on a contact, I only have the option to call them.
Anyone have any updates on this?
I was wondering if they figured something out on the CM7 beta testing, but haven't found info related to skype/google calls.
