US Skype 3g ever to work on streak?

So I installed dj Steve’s 1.8.1. and I tried installing skype from droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
NOTE: I am in the US and 3g calling is disabled. Well that version in the link doesn't make calls, if I try it says call ended right away. The stock app works great over wifi, but thats it, and id like to use it over 3g like it did with my old captivate sometimes. Anyone know why it doesn't work? Is it a Rom thing, because when on my captivate, it too had the same problem, until I installed a certain Rom (cognition 3.x), and that worked perfectly whereas all the other Roms I tried were a nogo over 3g. Anyone know why this is? Is there any devs working on a US skype 3g?

Video chat-capable version of Skype leaks for HTC ThunderBolt

Have an HTC ThunderBolt and a burning desire to use Skype’s video chat service? You’re in luck, because the gang over at Droid-Life have discovered a leaked iteration of the Internet communication client that is video-chat ready. The client, which was expected to ship with the ThunderBolt at the time of its announcement, can only be installed on Verizon’s first LTE smartphone… at the moment. If you’re interested in taking the software for a spin, hit the read link and have yourself a download.

I sure hope they come out with a FULL Skype version that allows us to make/receive calls (on WiFi at least....). I got the Skype mobile working with video. It's nice for sure.
I cant get it to work at all. I cant figure out why, whenever i click the start video button, it switches like its initializing the video, then goes back to the main screen... anyone have any ideas
Just an FYI to anyone wanting to try skype that wasn't aware:

Phone to PC video calls fails.
Has anyone gotten phone to pc calls to work? I can make phone to pc audio calls just fine, I can make phone to phone video calls as well. But I can not get phone to pc (or pc to phone) video calls to work.
Any ideas?
Phone to pc works fine 4 me.

I found that phone to PC only works if the PC is running the most recent Skype update forces audio only otherwise.

I am having mixed results and am beginning to wonder if the problems with the video are related to the version running on the different pc's.
I'll have to test that out with some friends...

Keep any eye on your notification light. The amber one. Sometimes it stays lit when you have Skype on. I noticed it more than a handful of times. It stopped as soon as I removed Skype.

us WIFI

will a US wifi xoom work in the UK? any issues
Yes.
It does. I haven't seen any issues so far. If it helps I used this link: http://t.co/NelNL3D
Although I only went through steps 1-3:
link above said:
1. Unlock the device via fastboot. Instructions here. DO NOT RE-LOCK EVER!!
2. Flash the Official & complete US 3.0.1 HWI69 ROM. Links here. Every time I tried to download the "does not require login" version from mediafire I got a corrupted zip, so instead I downloaded from the Motorola developer site (with instructions) here.
3. Once the 3.0.1 Rom was up and running, and I had an internet connection, I got the OTA notification for the 3.1 update and installed it. It took about 10 minutes to notify me once I had connection, probably because it had to download it before notifying me. After the install and reboot process, I had a stock 3.1 install............

The US WiFi should work anywhere. I have a US WiFi Xoom and it updated to 3.1 OTA just fine as soon as I connected to a WiFi access point, even on the other side of the Atlantic.
I didn't need to do anything to it. I opted to unlock and root, but it was working just fine on stock.

Yes, it works just fine in Europe and you will get the updates faster then european Xoom's.
Included charger works in Europe (220v), but you will need US > UK adapter.
You know I just noticed I read the question wrong

Pre installed books and the stock email app stopped working for me after 3.1 update. No big loss. Everything else works fine.

I am going to England for 2 weeks in September. Hotel only has wifi in public areas, wired in the room, but I should be able to set-up an ad-hoc network using the wife's netbook.
I have one plug adapter, and will probably pick up at least one more to make sure that netbook, Xoom, and Kindle stay charged.
Just tried Books and it works fine.
You need BooksTablet.apk, i used ES File explorer to install it. It will give a error that it wasn't installed but after a restart the Books icon appears and works.
I seem to have issues with google books where it keeps uninstalling itself after the 3.1 update...
but either way - wifi works the same in the US as it does in the UK.
all good
I think the things that differ are the networking frequencies and stuff

Xperia Play & Gtalk Voice Issues

Hello everyone,
Has anyone experienced issues with their microphone not working during a gtalk video call? I used the Modaco app the installs gtalk, Im running 2.3.3 UK on r800x and I had the same issues with 2.3.3.
I can hear others just fine but no one can ever hear me. I tried looking for a fix but it only led me to a Xda forum about gtalk v1.3 w/ video for rooted users. Some zip files on the thread but none changed anything.
Just curious if anyone has experienced the microphone not working for them and if anyone has found a way to correct this? I can always just skype call and it works ok, but I cant figure gtalk out to make it work correct and I would like it to.
No issues on 2.3.4 maybe you should try the update
R800x I cant use 2.3.4 :/

[Q] Does Wifi Tether TrevE Mod not work on ATT S4, stock rom, rooted?

Ever since the G1, I have used the Wifi Tether app, which is now known as Wifi Tether TrevE Mod. Now Ijust upgraded from my S3 to the ATT S4, however seems it doesnt want to load up the tether, just starts with errors, checked various setup methods and a few threads that offer advice. Tho the one that talks about tetherprovisioning.apk is talking more about the built in hotspot, not the rooted wifi tether way.
So was wondering, anyone else have a stock s4 for att and is able to the wifi tether treve mod?
I usually like using this thing for when I want to make an "attwifi" hotspot so the 3DS can do its nintendozone thing. =)
Edit: Ok forgot to check the main website for updates. So just did that and went from the 3.2 beta 2 to the 3.3 version, however still no joy here, still saying starts with errors, cept NOW it wont show logs, just says doesnt exist. Not sure but I am gonna keep playing with this.
Bump. Anyone using this one still or actually managed to get it working?
