skype app won't work - Vibrant General

Hello everyone, I downloaded the skype app from the android market a couple days ago, and I been trying to sign in over 3g or my home wifi but I get this error.
Can't sign in
We're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please try again later.
and I know this is not a login/password issue because I sign in on my desktop just fine, may be something I have to tweak on the vibrant?
any help will be apreciated
thank you guys

Skype does not currently support Samsung Galaxy S phones ....

Yes. It helps to read the description of what you are downloading. It could have said "this bricks galaxy s devices." What then?

The funny thing is my friend - who has the Fascinate - tells me Skype works fine on him phone.

he is using the Skype for Verizon app which works. The OP is talking about the Skype app for other carriers.

HTC Evo as HTC Droid Incredible

I apologize if there is a previous post regarding this question, I have search all over for an answer with no avail...
I was wondering if there is a way to trick the App Market into thinking that the Evo is the Incredible in order to download Verizon apps, such as Skype and the Inception: Mind Crime game?
I was also curious, if this is not possible, does anyone know where I might find the .apk files for those two apps?
Feel free to PM me with any information. Thanks all.
Cheers,
Terry

apps like skype will only work on verizon network
There is a skype lite version apk floating around that you can install on your phone that will work on Sprint.

The guy implied that if you are not on Verizon. The app will not work. So no, the app will not work
Re Skype
If Skype is your main concern, I found this story at Engaget:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/skype-mobile-with-video-support-coming-to-android-market-later-t/
Seems Skype intends to bring a "direct to consumer app to the Android marketplace later this year. This application will be available for all consumers globally to download regardless of carriers. (i.e. similar to how we offer the iPhone app today)"
The current Skype app does not work for the Evo. I have the Verizon Skype app, and after you install it, it will tell you that it can't run because you don't have a Verizon phone.
Just wait for the new version to come out for everyone, or get Fring and SIPdroid or something. There are many ways to make it work, but nothing as simple as straight Skype.
has anyone who tried this hack.
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
try to dl skype for verizon? this hack is to use verizon towers and one of the effects is that when u dial *2 it goes to verizon customer service.
just wondering with this will it make skype work on the evo?

If you download the Android app - My Market - this app is like Market but lets you select your country / provider. Select US Verizon and you can download and install the Skype App, but you can't get it to launch. Choose US T Mobile for other apps.

any luck with Skype?

i downloaded the apps but can never successfully sign in with my skype acct. my carrier is tmobile

Depends where I call.
I am calling my friend in Ukraine and it is 15 cents a minute to the mobile device.
Here is the rate chart from google voice
https://www.google.com/voice/rates
Hasn't worked for me on stock ji6. Installed 2 or 3 but never worked. Do you have to do something special to use google voice for international calls?

When you set it up, first run, it will ask you if you want to make all your calls via google voice, only international calls or ask every time.
I have it set to international calls only.
P.S. Also have you setup you google voice account? I am not sure if it matters when you link your phone with it, but for a good measure go to google.com/voice login with your google creds, pick the country, number and verify your acct.

Yes it works only on 2.2 roms. There is a hacked version that allows calls over 3G on droid forum. Just google. I'm not sure of posting links to modified apk files is allowed here.

i have google voice too, but i don't necessarily need to make int'l call all the time, i would love to have the chat function alone working on my phone, so i can be available for my oversea vendors most of the time
i just can't get it to work, it pretty much just froze @ the login process; i installed and uninstalled 2 or 3 times already, same result

I Had To Manually Search These Sim Numeric Codes, Which Sucked! So I Figured I'd Post'em For Whoever Might Be Looking For Similar Codes!! **All Codes Are From The U.S. Based Company's** "As Far As I Know"
Sprint: 310120
Verizon: 3100000, 310012, 310014
At&t: 310410
T-Mobile: 310260
Blackberry: 30911
Virgin Mobile: 23203

Haha, these codes are for the phones market signature - similar to the app MarketEnabler.
It allows you to spoof a network location and have access to apps you wouldn't normally have access too.
For example, if you set your code to Verizon (I always used 310012) you have a "Verizon" tab instead of 'Sprint'
You will also be able to download their NFL app, etc.

Hmm, the verizon nfl app should work if you still have it set as a verizon code. I know last time I had it on my phone it worked until I changed the code back to sprints. After that point, even if I switched it to Verizon it wouldn't let me use it.
Maybe they have a newer update for it that checks the actual phone number or something.

I Believe The "ONLY" Way The NFL App Will Work Is If You Turn WiFi On, & The Mobile Connection "OFF"
For Some Reason I Think The NFL App Can Tell Who Your Carrier Is With Your Mobile Connection Enabled!! Also Try To Clear Your Cache Before Trying To Enter NFL Mobile Again!!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Also Another App That Might Be Found Useful Is The "Bing" Search App (Also Limited To Verizon Only Customers) That One "I Know" For Sure Will Work After Downloading!! If Anyone Knows Any Other Apps Limited To A Specific Carrier,
Please Post'em!!
Thank You!!

Running nero v.5, getting server error when buying app

I searched but didn't find any topics for this. Sorry if this had been asked before.
I get the message 'server error has occured. Please retry or cancel' when I try to buy an app. I can download free apps fine. I rebooted my phone, but i'm still getting the same problem. Any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting app data in the manage app section of settings? That worked for me. Don't know if it's the same prob or not.
Google seems to be having issues with their Market. Or it could be samsung. Master talked about it yesterday when he released Axura 2.2.7.0

Thank you. I tried that, but it didn't work. I got this message before but it was before I flashed nero V5 but I didn't pay much mind to it because I thought it was just a temporary bug or something. I don't buy apps that often but i think it started after the new market was updated

After you click to buy you get a payment option and there you can choose to bill carrier.
When I do that I do not get an option to bill carrier or anything just the server error. I have tried all the fixes nothing

[APP] BBM Android APK

Hi,
Stumbled upon this file some time ago. I thought it was pretty dodgy at first, but it gave me the ability to register blackberry ID, which i then get a reply email from blackberry.
It then proceed to "setting up BBM" and doesnt progress anywhere from there.
Sounds like a closed beta where only few blackberry ID are allowed.
If anybody want to try, feel free to pick it up in here. Pass is: testonly
Its probably gonna be released next week anyway
Nice find!
Shame we cant login
hi, where did u find this app? i think latest version is ....050 and this one is ...033...
maybe the latest version would work?
Unless somebody can hack it, it wont work...
Only certain BBID's approved by Blackberry work unfortunately.
we can't be sure couse we haven't tried newest version...so, maybe someone has it...?

Is 050 the one leaked on youtube? Unfortunately all i have is this 033. Seems that whatever version we have will still requires right bb id to try it, as kingp1n said.
