Hey everyone,
Last week me and my friend bought a fake iPhone that runs on an Android 2.2.1 ROM with an iPhone interface. There was a version of Skype pre-installed on the phone, but the version got stuck at the sign in screen (after pressing sign in) every time we tried.
After a few days of sniffing around on Google and downloading quite a few versions, we have still got the same problem. On the internet are a lot of posts about this, but there is no clear fix for the problem.
Our carrier is China Unicom, they have a 2G and 3G network and we also have a wireless. Although we came to understand that wifi is not supported on the mobile versions of Skype.
Can anyone help us out with a fix for this very annoying problem?
Cheers,
Bump, any reply would be helpful
This is kinda lame... So many views so little answers?
You've got a phone that nobody has and you can't identify, based on an old OS version ... there really isn't much we can tell you other than: try different versions. It seems like a problem with your firmware, and updating from such an old version would seem like a good idea for security reasons alone... but since this is a phone that doesn't officially exist, I doubt there's a project that creates custom firmware for it.
if you want, i got an skype beta for android, can send you link

Hello s2 users!
just wanted to say i have a really big problem and i really hope that someone can help me!!!!
today i bought my I9100 from a friend. the phone is from germany and it is like 4 months old
well when i was testing it (just to be sure it works) it worked flawlessly, i mean it was very awesome and i couldn't believe it worked so great
so i bought it and when i arrived home i formatted the external sd he gave me (2gb) and i restored the system to be as a new phone
after the restore process i installed viber, whatsapp, skype and an app called MagicUnlock that i had on my previous phone
after talking like 30 minutes, the audio just stopped. the speaker stop working in any possible way just no sound anywhere
but the audio works while headphones connected i mean when i connect the headphones, after 1-2 min the speaker works but not the headphones
i said about magicunlock app because it doesn't work (i'm pretty sure s2 has proximity sensor) but i can deal without that, i only said to know if it has a connexion
and when i extraqct headphones audio on speaker works for another 1-2 min then stops and have to make the process again
well now the speaker works without the headphones connected ( it is working for like 30 min) and hope i dont have the problem again but is there anyone who can give ANY answer to that what could be the problem? my friend is saying it could be because i restored the phone but i dont think it could...
SRY MY BAD ENGLISH
Could be
Best thing to find out all phone working corectly is reflash stock room again from here

"need urgent help" should be part of topic, Not just used solely for the topic title. Titles need to be descriptive of topic.
This is REALLY irritating me now

That is no excuse for lack of common sense.
Plus its the exact same any other forum anywhere on the net for any subject. The topic title is supposed to be descriptive of topic so that people browsing forum can see at a glance what topic is about rather then just generic vauge "need urgent help".
As i might say i'm pretty sorry, this is a direct link to the problem, as nobody answered me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843898&page=3
Hello people ! My name is Gabriel, and... as you can see, i'm a beginner.
I just got my Nokia Lumia 800, with the 7.5 update (7.10.8773.98). I had a hard time trying to learn what this phone can do, even now it just beats me, K.O.'s me. I saw the Bluetooth Sharing it's not available on 7.5, neither I can transfer contacts from phone to SIM. I searched all over the web to see if the new update ( 7.8 ) can help me in any way.
I kinda didn't liked what i saw. If I upgrade it to 7.8, my battery phone will literally die. I am using my phone a lot... I've got it Second-Hand, from a buddy. Never asked him if he Hard-Reset the phone or not. What i'm trying to ask you is... can this phone be fixed any way ?
How to fix the battery life problem if I update it ?
Will the Bluetooth Sharing app and the SIM transfer work ?
I'm sorry if there's already a thread for what i asked, i tried to search on the web, fixes, everything... help please ?

Finally someone comment here. unfortunately I didn't find any solution to this annoying problem yet. neither i found another posts online or someone have this issue. if i find a solution or at least know the reason why then i will post it here, please do same so.
How are you finding the sound quality on Viber on the Z2?
I find it to be very quiet & I can barely hear the person I'm talking to & they can barely hear me, emailed Viber support but they weren't much use even though I pointed out that Viber on old Galaxy S3 was nice & loud in both voice & notifications sounds but on the Z2 it is way too quiet, tried Line & the sound is good on that but the app is bloated & the smileys are crap lol.

Same here. the sound quality is crap. very low sound.. when I am outside i open speaker and put it on my ear and barely can hear the sound.. And the sound of beeps always happen even with speaker on. I had before samsung phone galaxy mega 6.3 and the sound was awesome. Am thinking to buy bluetooth headset to use it instead of the phone
Yeah same here mate, even using it in speaker phone mode the sound is way too quiet & muffled. I'm gonna email their support again, would suggest you do the same. The more reports & complaints they get about it will make them do something about it.

Any update? I am having same issue. Voice recordings in Viber are very poor. I have contacted online Sony support. And actually it happens not only in Viber. And they told me it's hardware issue. And advised to do firmware restore and hardreset. But my wife has Z2 too with same issues and both phones from different countries, different stores. May be Sony uses new way to record sounds or poor support of microphones in API.

No. I didn't do any of those yet.
OK, guys, just did software repair. Nothing changed. Don't go for it and don't waste your time.
Well I emailed Viber support about the 4th-5th Sept & only got a reply from them yesterday about a month & a half later asking me to install a debug version that will wipe my message history, they suggest to email message history but AFAIK there is no way to restore it.
Pretty pathetic support if you ask me.
at least it's good they replied you.. They didn't reply me till now and it has been more than a month.. now am thinking to buy bluetooth headset just to get rid of this annoying problem but then even with bluetooth headset you can't answer viber calls directly like normal calls.. i read on other threads someone from viber support team said they don't yet support bluetooth headset.. as if viber not everyone use it and majority use normal calls. it's really ridiculous

Root and backup data. Then restore data after you install the new version?

Yeah I can use MyBackup Pro to back up the viber data but after restoring it viber won't even open & just force closes right away.
