Skype Android App Updated to Include Video Calling - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

Looks like Skype is starting to roll video calling out to Android phones.
http://gizmo.do/mFu31G
Sadly the Atrix is not one of the first phones that video calling is enabled on.
For this first phase of launch, handsets that support video calling include the HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro and the Google Nexus S.

Anyone care to take a stab at getting it to work on the Atrix? Maybe a build.prop edit will suffice?

Wondering if it will work with 2.3.4.

more possible than everyone else as that list has Gingerbread devices

I'm running 2.3.4 now and sadly it doesn't work

well obviously it won't, it wasn't released for the atrix. we would have to edit some files within the apk or to get the apk to think we were a compatible device for it to work.

Of course you can do 3G videocalls on Optimus One, it works perfectly....
You need either Fring or Tango from android market... ( phone to phone videocalls) and a new app that is called VTOK, its in his beta, but is showing good progress, it can do videocalls to google mail ( phone to pc and phone to phone) !!!! GREAT!!
So you absolutelly can do 3G calls on O1

3G Video calls as in over the network. I know those apps but the other person must have that app installed and must be on it. In that case Yahoo Messenger works really great for me. I mean 3G phone to phone video call over the network.
Ohhh i see.... somewhere i read that android 2.3.4 implements 3g videocalls... but maybe its only for phones with front camera, but im sure someone will hack it in order to use back camera...

Even if someone does that, you will have to hold the phone backwards so there is no way you can see the video of the other person.

Yeah but can use a mirror and can at least see the other person.
There are many workarounds for that... search in google.
Cases with mirrors, clips with mirrors, BATHROOM mirror (LOL)....

Skype video chat.

"Since it is a question about a particular app I'm posting it here in the app section. If you think it's a wrong section please move it."
Now since we have officially gingerbread on atrix, how can we enable Skype video chat?

i believe people are already working for this and yes skype is aware of this, many android devices arent compatible and to do so would require some good dev work to let them know well they do but if u wish to reiterate it go to theyre threads

the skype video library is not compatible with our cpu because it doesn't use NEON. an atrix owner is actually and ironically the one who is hacking apart the skype app on the xda software forum, and has discovered this limitation. we can't do anything about it until skype themselves updates the libraries to work with the tegra.

Thanks for the info, I heard something about this but not this level of detail.
It's a shame and I don't think it's very high up on Skype's priorities. But on the plus side, Tango is looking to introduce Desktop software and Google has video support for Chat and Google Talk on the desktop!

Can't we use the same hack which yahoo messenger uses for front camera?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
IIRC, it's a driver support issue which is barring us. But I too was hoping that the new app might have something that we'd be able to make use of to implement some support for our Atrix devices.
Will keep a hopeful eye open.

Playstation Mobile

So, Playstation Mobile was released today. I installed the .apk on my S3 and can confirm we aren't supported.
Think anyone will release a crack?
I really don't know, it depends how the app finds out what model you are on, not compatible with hardware, possibly.
If I was Sony though I would check the model of the phone and check servers then probably not, unless people want to spoof their model number.

Hmm okay. I guess we'll be getting support at some point. There's not too many games out of it at the moment anyway.

You could try this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...tion-mobile-for-android-on-any-rooted-device/
I don't know if that method works on the GS3, however. After being the unlucky owner of a 3G Vita (which I gave to my brother, who doesn't use it anymore after he got a GS2), there's no way I'm letting any **** like that onto my phone. Sony can go to hell.

An android smartphone is no replacement for a dedicated handheld games console. Actually compared to phones you get way more for your money.

I would say the other way, "It's a shame that Samsung doesn't support PlayStation mobile on such a powerful device."
I installed it with the method on Android Police, but "files over 20MB can only be downloaded via WiFi" ok uninstall.
Also @onesolo it's not Samsung, it's Sony, they make the app, they have to make it compatible, unless you want Samsung to replace all hardware in the S3 with the hardware of supported devices, then it might work.

If you look at the posts in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209143, I think a lot of people are having the same problem. There was a post by someone saying that they emailed HTC support and they seemed to know about the issue, so I'm sure there's a fix on the way. There are not any known fixes I'm afraid.

Exactly based on my communication I provided them everything about me phone telling them every detail about problem and even sending them picture of bootloader main screen. So I hope there gonna fix it soon.. For now u have to use my old galaxy 5 as mp3 player

I'll really never understand how this happens with certain updates on certain phones...
You TEST something before you release it, it's not a minor issue.
My slight rage aside, I sent them an email about the sound problem and let's hope we'll get a fix soon.
when will the update come for Indian users??
In the other thread someone informed us, HTC told him, that they pulled down the jb update because of too many bugs. So I don't know when it'll come to India but I care more about a fix for people who already updated... Shame on HTC for this...

The APK, sent to us by a lucky reader (thanks, Brendan!), is signed by Google and upgrades your existing Play Store. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take weeks, download and install it just like any other APK and enjoy the new Play Store experience.

I think the rollout has been started. But if you can't wait to get the goodness, go ahead and install it.
I think that Google Play is an app that we have to wait to release it officially to our phones.

It is a developers forum so many of us just enjoy messing around at various levels for various reasons. If you don't want these things there's no obligation to install anything.
had a force close once with new google play.
i dont like it anyway, everything is so freaking BIG, looks like its more made for tablets than for phones.
It worked for me too, but I had to kill it once and to delete data from previous version, otherwise paying via SIM card wouldn't work (getting an error while trying to connect to mobile network during selecting of paying method)
