Hi!
I've been trying to get the Yahoo! Messenger with the Video Plug-in to work.
I got it to work one time, but afterwards not anymore.
Anyone have any ideas?
Someone made a solution on XDA (where else! ).
Since I don't have the PoV Mobii 10.1 at home for 1 week could someone test if version from this thread is working for him?
I see that the author mentioned that this method/apk should work on other devices too, so someone should test this on the Advent Vega.
You can also use ebuddy. Have you already deleted the files from that app? Then go to settings, applications, manage apps, click Yahoo, delete user data. Maybe that will help.
OK, got the tablet back and tested everything.
I wiped data/cache for the Yahoo messenger and plugin, but that didn't work.
I tried it thru manage apps in the settings and thru Titanium backup.
I did not try to reinstall because that's just pointless.
To reinstall two apps in order to get video calling for one time only? No way!
I also read the description for ebuddy on the market and as it seems it's intended only for text chat. Yahoo text chat works really great, but I don't want only that!
I see that Skype voice chat works great on my PoV tablet. I tried the modified Skype that enables the video chat option, but with that version of Skype I didn't even manage to log-in.
with the newest update on the market skype works with the vega!

Hi!
Could you post your experiences/bugs/solutions in the designated thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230238
Guess this is a pretty buggy app on Vega.
What Android version are you running?
You tested both versions (market and XDA --> all links in my first post)?

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.

Anyone get the netflix app to work? I cant even open it. Justsays cant open, try again later
Mine is working fine. Did you update to the latest version
Mine works fine too, been watching movies and TV shows ever since the first day I bought it
Working Fine

Mine wasn't working either... it was installed as soon as I logged into my google account and all my apps from my SGS2 were funneled onto the TPrime. It kept crashing out as soon as launched.
I ended up just searching the market for it and re-installing it seemed to do the trick. The menus are choppy as hell but it works.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.
Enjoy!
Did you update your time and date?
Try deleting and installing again with a reboot?

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help
----
edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.

This made the Netflix UI run so much smoother... awesome.
helo guys,
i've a question about the succesfully login into youtube. i've flashed a few days ago the Omega v5.2 Black Blue and i'm really happy with this rom. so, i think it's just a good moment to say thanks to the developers and involved people.
well, my problem is to get access into my youtube account. i always receive a failing message, that my email isn't linked with a youtube account. this isn't true. the account is linked to 100% with my hotmail acc, and this one with gmail, too.
so, i don't understand what i can do, to log in succesfully to my acc.
i hope i'll receive help, cause i don't will be able to resolve this problem alone
thx's
Had the same problem, there was a update to the youtube app just a few days ago which fixed this problem. Check to make sure you have the up to date version and it should work.

thanks. i'll look for the update. i hope this will resolve the problem/bug
well, thanks for your help this was the "half" solution.^^
with v3.5.5 downloaded from play store, finally it works with the succesfully login and linked account.
my phone works actually with omega v5.2, and there in the omega files kitchen is a moded youtube apk, which got a download option. this one doesn't works. its v2.1.6.
but, well, i'll use both for the moment, until the bug is fixed.
thanks a lot man
wierd. mines working perfectly though
i've no idea whats the problem with my installed mod youtube app from kitchen. with the offical app out of the store it works fine
Hi all,
I just wanted to see if other people are getting chat heads(new messenger update) to work. It doesn't appear for me on my DNA, but other people seem to have it working on their phones.
Thanks in advanced!
Working great for me. Enabled SMS integration in the app and now all of my SMS messages pop up too. Really nice feature honestly.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Works for me too!
working here. emojis are a nice touch... but i can't see ones people are sending me... oh well.
interesting well glad its working for you guys - I am not sure what I need to do - should the chat head be automatic? I am getting SMS alerts to messenger - just no chat head showing.
in the messaging app for facebook... go to settings>notification settings> should see a box for "chat heads". enable it. i also made it my main texting app(also in the settings but under sms/mms) not sure if that has anything to do with it though...
Thanks, it looks like I don't have an option for chat heads in the notification settings like I should .. interesting .. I'm on version 2.4.2 build 178229

I cannot see the Chat Heads options in settings (
I can't get the chat-head's option to show up in settings on my Nexus 4 either. I've tried rebooting and clearing all app data, but nothing.
I found the APK for the new Facebook Home application.. it's only for specific devices as of right now... any way to install on our device to test it out?? Do I have to do something crazy like edit build.prop???
I can't get it to show up on mine, either. Reinstalled both facebook app and messenger app to latest versions. Just don't see any option in notification settings..
Here's what I tried and no go:
Uninstalling/reinstalling both messenger and facebook
clearing app data
reset/shutdown phone
and the combination of the 3
I'd be curious if it started working if you changed your build.prop device entry to one of the strings from a phone that is working. Seen this behavior before, far too often, in apps. Restricting settings based on device model, etc, when they're perfectly capable of working on others.
Chat head hhmmm interesting..
Facebook really top it with this

Yea, I am using a HTC one x, and have just updated from an AOKP rom to a cyanogen mod rom. So supported device and no go. Seen the settings on my girlfriends stock galaxy s 3, and have seen the settings and heads working. The thing is, a friend has cyanogen mod on an unsupported phone and it works.. So I have no idea at all.
I did try to get Facebook home working before during the leaks, and am running android 4.2.1... They're the only things different to everyone else maybe????
For people that have it working and not working, what are your setups? Phone models, roms and their bases? There must be a common factor here, or a mod to enable it... :silly:
Do you have corporate email setup on your phone? I was thinking if it can disable this feature...

No, totally clean install with nothing but the two Facebook apps!
It's working for me, too. Perhaps 'cause I'm on a Sense 5 ROM?
Same problem
I am running cyanogen mod (nightlies) on galaxy s3. Same issue, I tried many things including clearing cache yet no option in messenger for chat heads..
