Hello, I've been trying to get on g+ hangouts on my new streak. As far as I can tell, it's only available on 2.3 and up. Could someone please confirm whether they can use the g+ mobile hangouts app on a streak running gingerbread?
Or any sort of custom ROM. Even Skype I would like to know. I've heard fring works on streak, but no one uses fring...
Hangouts work (Last time I tested)
Although last time I tested the phone had to be in landscape mode, otherwise your video stream (The one sent to other people) will be upside down
This maybe fixed on some of the newer 2.3 roms

My friend is going overseas so we want to videocall every day. Unfortunately, fring is not available on Market, not on m.fring.com (gives an error). What can we do to install it? I'm willing to roor her phone and install everything, we just want fring ox X10 Mini or some other software available to Android and iOS with video calling support.
I can see it on the market. A lot of apps are blocked because devs think the mini's resolution is too low, but it should work fine.
Root the phone:

The skype voice call works on your nimbuzz? What about skype out? I know that old versions of nimbuz support all then, but I installed market version and was able to chat only with skype users.
If you can make skype calls, may you share the apk, pls? There is a skype available on the market, but it is very battery hungry... I found it using batt even without app running! So, I uninstalled and install it every time that need make a skype call. Nimbuzz will be great if it work.
3.1.1.1 in my X10 without problem
Hey all,
I know all the carp thats going on with skype and everyone else except verizon users, but i just wanted to know if there is another reason that my phone freezes every time i use skype beta. Is there anything i can do about this?
no one? is there a way i can generate a log or something that can help someone help me?
i need to figure this out....
Same to me. So I use now another tool. Everytime I installed Skype Beta the phone freeze
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Skype was made for Verizon only because of an exclusive deal AND because that version of it isn't true VoIP, it uses CDMA, which we don't have on our HD2, so don't be surprised if it screws up and freezes. Just wait until later this year when they should release a version for all Android phones that is true VoIP and even has video calls (if you have a forward-facing camera)
Hey all,
I've been browsing around the XDA forums for quite a while now, and normally always have been able to find a solution if not at least some relevant information to any of my issues regarding my S2.
I'm currently on Vodafone AU and have the Skype pack on my account, which allows me to use Skype via the Vodafone network rather than over data.
The problem that I am facing is that after Skype was updated to the latest version, I can no longer connect. The app (Skype on Vodafone, not the Market one) tells me 'Couldn't connect to Skype'.
The previous version of it worked just fine, however I never anticipated this problem so I did not make a backup of the old app.
From testing I have been able to get it working on the stock Vodafone ROM, but not on a Custom ROM. I am currently running Cognition S2 1.15.
I assume they coded the app in a way to verify the type of ROM that you are using so you can only connect if you are using the Vodafone ROM.
Does anyone have any idea on how to get a workaround on this issue? or for that matter does anyone out there have the previous version of the app?
I do use Skype quite often, but don't really want to use the Market Skype since that goes over metered data; and I really do not want to go back to the stock Vodafone ROM.
I've uploaded the current version of the Skype App, if someone needs it or it proves to be helpful.

If there's any extra info I can provide that I might've omitted please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any useful information in the matter.

Hey mate do you still have the problem? I have installed LeoMar ROM, but my Skype on Vodafone app works fine, also I used to have the Lite'ning ROM in wich it worked perefctly as well... I have the last app update in a Samsung GS2.
How did you install the Voda Skype app on Cognition Rom? Find that source APK and install that over.
Hello, I am currently running CM 10.2.0-RC1-d2vzm on my verizon galaxy s3 and I love it. It is even better now that hangouts 2.0 came out and it is supporting group message since I am in school and I use this option a lot. The only issue i am having is that gifs are not working. When someone sends me a gif it appears as a still picture. However, I tried sending myself a gif and as the sender I can see the gif image moving but as the receiver (remember i sent it to myself) the gif comes out as a still picture. If anyone has any idea of how to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
(p.s. i would love this problem to be fixed b/c i can't stand hearing my friends tell me that their iphones are better just b/c their gifs work. Yeah right!)
Do you have I9300 ??
Hi everyone!
I really like how CyanogenMod works because it makes the phone faster than the stock one and also is lighter but the problem is the many bugs it has...
I've tried CM 10.1 but it was impossible to create an APN (so internet navigation in 3G was disabled), then I tried CM 11 (and I'm currently using it) but I can't see videos, send or receive files via bluetooth and sometimes I'm unable to view notification in hangouts (so I installed another application for SMS).
What I'm asking is: is there some Cyanogen ROM for my cellphone that works properly without important bugs? I mean, it doesn't matter if wifi tethering or direct doesn't works, I don't care even if the bluetooth don't works, they are not so important...but I'm searching for a ROM in which APN's and videos works at least...
Is there some CM release like that?
Just to be clear this post is only to ask for help and is not intended to be offensive...I really admire the developers and their hard work because I can imagine how difficult can be developing a ROM!
Thank you very much for your help and your work!
