No sound skype out Nimbuzz

I hoped to find some help on this forum, because the official nimbuzz forum couldn't so far.
Some weeks ago I used skype out via nimbuzz on my own wireless network. Suddenly I didn't hear anything anymore. Since then I can't use skype out anymore. I do hear the dialing sound, but when the person picksup I dont hear anythjing anymore. The other side can hear me.
On the official nimbuzz forum they told me it had to do with firewall on my router. I opened the suggested UDP ports in the range: 15000 to 65000, but no effect.
Also same results on edge and hsdpa network.
In the mean time I flashed several rom, stock and cooked, but still same results.
Does anyone has an idea what the issue can be? Skype is working, but I uses the external speaker and I like to have some privacy.

i got also the same problem as youre..would anyone know how to tfix this things? thanks.

Skype for the Droid

Ok, so apparently according to the reviews of the Skype app for Android, there is a non-verizon version (people on at&t were saying they got wifi). Is this true? And does anyone know how I can get this version on my phone so I can stop relying on the crappy reception I get at my house?

You may try Fring instead Skype. It's support also others Voip and SIP protocols. Just download it from market.

Fring looks sweet, but I'm having trouble with it on my moto droid. I tried answering a call on skype, and they could hear my voice but I could not hear anything on my end. Even the test call failed. Skype seems to work fine for me, but it is buggy, and I'm unable to place group calls. Also no wifi sucks too. If there is a version that supports wifi, please update this thread!

Skype on DHD

I have also posted this on VF forums but hoped someone here on might have some experience of this:
Anyone out there using Skype on their DHD yet? I use skype for my business and have a skype incoming number too so it is great that I will no longer have to divert skype calls to my mobile at cost. I can now just pick them up directly from my mobile for free. I can even make free outgoing UK landline calls from the mobile via skype as part of my skype subscription, although this isn't as big a deal due to the VF contract I have.
I may be wrong, and I will be testing this out very soon, but when abroad and assuming you buy a local SIM with some data allowance, I think I should be able to receive calls to my skype number and make calls (via my skype subscription) to UK landlines all from my mobile for free! Can anyone with similar experience confirm this to be the case?
Also, the skype app for android isn't the most intuitive regarding changing the settings etc and you can't use the back button once logged in, only the home button to hide the app. Hopefully that will be addressed in the next release. My main issue however is that I cannot change the ringing volume for skype which is currently set very low. I have found an option to change the ring tone but it only offers either the default or something from the music stored on the handset, no mention of volume though. I have also set all the volumes of the handset (Calls, notifications, etc) to full but skype still rings very quietly. Anyone have any ideas on this?

For anyone interested, Skype just released an update for this app. It now allows you to use the back button to hide the app. However there is now a more annoying problem of the missed call page showing up everytime you go to the app (assuming you have a missed call) and won't go away until you clear the whole history.
I have read on other forums the only solution to the low ringing volume is to change the default to a music file of your choice which is of a decent volume.

Yes, tried Skype on my DHD today for the first time. Signal was quite good to start with but then the sound started breaking up a little. Then I took an incoming Skype call which didn't have such good sound quality.
It clearly works, but I think the sound quality, like on another other computer, depends on the quality of your data internet connection. Also, it is annoying about the back button, I agree. Looks like its just the first version for Android, so hopefully Skype will improve it soon.

So the BIG ?
Is there a front facing camera on the DHD?

No, the DHD hasnt got a front facing camera.

Any idea if the back camera can be used for a video call?
Not very convenient I know but its someth at least ;]

If it works, you can always use it in front of a mirror right?

And what does that have to do with Skype ? You know, Android version doesn't have video call support.

NO I did not, because all the crappy reviews do NOT mention that, most of them tend to be C&P from some bad stock handout, same as a few 'older' reviews of the DHD mention that the FFC may only work when 2.2 comes out.
As we can see plenty of bull**** on the internet

Bell Canada Atrix VOIP

as we all know, the AT&T Atrix has problem with most VOIP softare. Just wondering if the Canadian Bell version is also experiencing the same problem? If not, that means AT&T is doing more than just turning off HSUPA...

I bought a Bell Atrix two days ago and I am DEFINITELY having issue with Skype either thru. WiFi or 3G connection. I am unable to make clear calls and often encountered LOUD STATIC sound on the earpiece.
Please assist...

No can't do at this moment. Need to wait for Motorola to sort this VOIP issue.

Well, I really do hope Motorola will address this issue...

IM+ Talk Skype Calling
Just an update to using the newly purchased IM+ Talk, a web-based Skype calling service. Well, it took me a whopping two-hour to figure out how to make calls and it was super frustrating...I subsequently had to purchase another Skype subscription (unlimited world, in addition to my original unlimited calls to Hong Kong plan) because of the call-back feature IM+ Talk uses.
So how it works is that you enter the CALL BACK number of the device you are calling on, enter the number you want to call, press the CALL button, and then your device will ring. Answer the call and you will then hear your number connecting. I don't know how to clearly explain it but it works on my Atrix thru. 3G connection

im using an att atrix on Fido in canada and i can use skype just fine. i think its att network that is blocking this somehow not the atrix itself or maybe the combination of the two. so if a bell atrix allows voip on bell network it might still not work on att network.

I am using a Bell Atrix on Rogers and am having a hard time using the Skype for Android to work properly. I previously used Skype on my iPhone 4 (also on Rogers) and it worked like a charm...
I am surprised that it's working for you on Fido. There is a big thread from the Motorola support forum that discusses about this issue.

BELL Atrix ain't working on Fido. none of VOIP apps is, tried Tango, Skype from Market, Skype hacked for 3G, SIPDroid Csip, Fring........
Sux....

sorry I made a mistake. it doesn't work for me the sound is horrible. I only install and made a call and assume it was working.

If the problem with Skype is sound quality it may be that Skype needs updating to support the phone properly. In my experience with Galaxy S the sound quality was horrendous for the first while (that Skype was even functional) until updates sorted things out. Actually it took a while to even be able to login, when it could first be installed it wouldn't accept any login info. Picky program.

Atrix, Skype, IM+, ClickTalk, Tango vs Bad Audio
I've the same problem as all you and i've try the following apps like Skype, Skype(3G), IM+, ClickTalk, Tango and Yahoo....
All exept the Yahoo is work badly with the audio, it cutting off and here i'm talking about using WIFI connection ... with the 3G forget about-it.
Only Yahoo look to get a good result and not mentionning that only the Qvix, Yahoo and Tango as the Video working correctly
As winner the Yahoo Video and Audio work over WIFI.
I'm using also the SMSSpeak, Call Annoncer and EmailSpeak, the playback are for unknown reason playing back too fast. To fix Reboot the phone, i think the audio driver as something to do here too.
I've read also for our Bell Canadian friend that the Firmware is out of date... like far away ... AT&T as the patch to fix this problem of audio in the next release 1.57 and BELL CACA is still at the Beta 0.83 no fix planned!
After chatting with a tech at Motorola we can't dream for a new version until the new kernel will be availlable to get the Android 2.3 (What a great one i was using this on a real google G1 this is a real charm) ... So since we known that BELL, ATT and Motorola are not reading our note, it's useless to try the get them to move ... exept to get everyone who as a Atrix to Call/Email/Fax Motorola,Bell,ATT,Fido ....
and btw Moto is coming with a new phone... they act like this is just junk hardware like a batterie. Change phone to fix.

cant find skype in market?

hey guy
Why is there is not skype available in market?
Is it because no support on honeycomb

I've got it installed. Didn't do an thing but search Skype

Thanks.. I manged to get skype installed from the skype website.
however i found that when i call the echo test to make a test call. My voice is very poor. Could hear lot of noise that device records. Has any one notices it?
I am pretty sure that its not my internet connection, as if i do a test call from PC it works like a charme..

I just tried it once and it wasn't great. GTalk works better.
