I tested my Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S working good with Skype Video Call.

work well here too
from a gs2 via 3g to iphone on wifi

Are you guys talking about the official Skype app from market or the patched .47 version?

skype for android is crap, isn't it? i mean you need another app called stop skype to actually close skype (or dig in sh... äh i mean the settings to find the option to sign out)

wow, and it supports Voice calls too? Then the patched version isn't needed anymore.

This is original official Skype Video call from Market, check Market place you will see.

Use original one.

That's great news. I always like official stuffs. Will try it later.
Regards.

sadly Stop Skype doesn't work anymore with this, i wrote to the dev hoping he can sort this out.

Thanks for the info!
You can also use Gemini app manager or another autorun manager to stop skype autorunning

Just open Skype, then Settings and unselect first option, is that so hard?

man, is that so hard to see that there is a service always running on background? the purpose of Stop Skype is to stop all background processes, nothing more, nothing less...or you can force close the application, but it's not so handy.

Been waiting for this news. Thanks mate!!

the same with google talk, but because there is no icon in the notification area you are probably not aware of that

thanks to the guy that modded the old ver to allow me to use on my sgs2 the last few weeks. this means the market wont nag me to update skype though

Pff, latest version of skype crashes every few minutes on my phone

Skype for Sprint HERO

Hey Everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but a recent release got me interested.
Yesterday, Skype released Skype Mobile for Android. Yee Haw, right?
Wrong. It's only for Verizon. My personal opinion, that's dumb.
I've got a Sprint HTC Hero, and I would *LOVE* to have Skype on it.
Is there anyone out there who's freaking awesome and is planning on developing a work-around for the Verizon-only bit?
If so, I beg you, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Thanks in advance!
I remember having an official Skype program on my phone shortly after I got it. It was chat only, though. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm guessing that they check which carrier you are on and block it to any carrier that doesn't want it used on their network. I'm guessing Sprint would lose out on their international plans if Skype Mobile with VOIP was allowed.

I can call any place the world from this Skype app on my phone to PC!!! It dials a local # and then connects to the user on computer just fine!
Hi I'm not as knowledgeable. How do you download the app to
HTML:
phone and install it? Also, what are the chances that it will run on n1 on T-Mobile network? Thanks in advance.
You are the best @heroid007 !!
I have the software, but I think it is totally different from windows mobile. I think we are being charge locally when we make calls unlike winmo.

would changing your ROM/build allow you to use the Verizon version of skype to make call?
your saying they block apps based on phone carrier, is that determined by the pre-loaded ROM/ just a code that the market reads to determine the apps that are shown or is it a hardware thing?
i was reading that new build had access to all app.
sorry im still new to the ROM thing.

It use 100pr of cpu, that's not good. (HTC DESIRE)
maybe is other solution for skype?
something odd that i've noticed is withthe 2.2 market skype doesn't even appear, but on a 2.1 rom it does.
Search Google for ( "index of" com.skype.android.lite.apk ) it works on other carrier phones and can run on WiFi (vzw dont). Would upload but not anywhere near home.

Indeed. I wish skype would release an adndroid app that's just not for verizon phones.
Cool, wasn't much use with the wrong camera, will try the update when i get home
Great... this will now save me having to repeatedly inform users not to install Fring.
It's a pity that they don't support skype anymore

Tested this today from Australia to USA on Fring.
Me: SGS
Friend: iPhone 3GS
Me: worked fine, front camera showing picture
Friend: worked fine.. with a mirror..
I was using Fring on SGS with Samsung's headset and my friend was using GTalk on Windows and he said he could barely hear me

Anyone modding Skype 2.0 for desire?

Just though I would ask if anyone has modded the .apk file to allow us desire people to use video chat out of the back camera ?
Many thanks

Installed this and videocall button exists, but it's late here and cant try it.
I swear I once got the camera working on the previous version. I don't know. Might of been the iPhone instead.
I would love to have the video option as well. It's silly that just because of no front camera the Desire is not supported. There still could be use for the video function
I have google talk 2.3.4 installed and the video works there, but still would love proper Skype support also...

skype 2.0 and no signout
This skype 2.0 doesn't provide any "signout" feature like it did, and not it just sits in the notification bar until I go to setting/application and force it to close.

Skype with Video works on GSII!

Here it is people the app you have been waiting for!

I used the official version .. and besides it does not support the video, it was also rather buggy. For example when I tried changing volume when in skype, it crashed altogether with launcher. I use all official rom and launcher and everything.

will this let your video call a pc
Should work
The hacked version worked fine, but the front face camera was always landscape oriented. Should've been portrait oriented by default.
who wants skype when google talk video is brilliant . I called from phone to a friends pc and it was brilliant over wifi

Guys... it's Skype we're talking about.
Of course it's buggy. Of course it crashes.
It's a well known fact that Skype is written by severely drunk monkeys with Alzheimer's, using only their legs to write code.

And now that it owned by M$ those monkeys will be told to make it Xbox exclusive when they've nearly finished developing it for all other platforms...
Just tested video chat over 3G/H+ in Toronto with Skype and gTalk.
Skype video quality is bad, all image in little squares, and it took about 1Mb of traffic for 1 minute of video chat.
gTalk video is much-much better, the image is clear but it took about 6Mb of traffic for 1 minute.
Since 3G is payed by traffic - it's up to you what to choose, nice video-quality or nice monthly bill.

HAHA a SIRI killer app...

Yeah its pretty awesome.
The developers used just 8!! hours to develop it.
I downloaded it the day after SIRI was launched.
Yeah, well it was in alpha version and WAS buggy, but that kinda work is pretty amazing for 8 hours of work eh ?
Thats EPIC!

Thanks, this is a great app.
You should check out Eva / Evan Intern as well.
It's the same concept, but has all the features of SIRI (including location based reminders) plus some.. I prefer it to SpeakToIt, but they're both great apps!
Yes great app
