I have Skype running on the JPO rom (Froyo) it's running reliable and hasn't force closed once for me.
Try looking at the development forums to find out how to flash Froyo on your phone.

Thanks , which Skype version you have ? I have Froyo rooted,ext. sd 8 GB. I always get : out of space " can't install....I have enough space in all memories. Any tip please ?

Is there a new, hacked version of Skype that allows 3G calling in the US without using your mobile carrier minutes on a Galaxy S with Froyo?

It still doesn't have video calling which makes it useless to me.

i dont need video calling
new version released. now move to sd

Why doesn't video calling work on the SGS with front camera?

Not with Skype. But it works with the latest version of Fring.

I am not so worried about the audio function of skype as 90% of the people I voice call with, I dont pay for in my networks contract anyway. I am curious about video calling. I suspect (for Ireland at least) that it is disabled due to specific agreements with other network providers.
But in theory, the data connection from 3G or HCDP (I probably mixed up those initials), there should be no problem with a video call.
Unfortunately, that is only something to think about, because, until Skype provide an official Android version that supports video calls, there is little that most Android users can do about it (Unless someone knows of a 3rd party app that works ).
[edit] Oh yeah, this works with fring, I forgot.

I have skype on my SGS and SG Tab. Works a treat when i wabt to chat with the wife when im working. Works well on 3g aswell which i was happy about.
I read online that skype and facebook were looking to merge in the near future...

I'm not aware of such a restriction. Its working fine for me.

So now we have ClockWork working - Who's gonna try a 1.2-1.4Ghz Kernel :P

Question had to be asked!
Excited to see how quickly the custom ROM scene takes off for the tab now!

I ask because I saw 2 other threads of people trying it (Will try to find them) but wanted to make sure they had CWM before they really put things to work with the custom ROM.
More than anything, wanted this to be a discussion thread for system tweaks etc now that the tMo version is available, it won't be long for others to follow.

I believe koush posted a vid on youtube of cwm running on the tab.

Clockworks only works on bone stock tmobile tabs which is unfortunate for me since i need the euro firmware to make calls. I probably would flash a new kernel if tho. Waiting to see if anyone is brave enough to do it.

I'm using it on a tmo tab with JMA and Koush's kernel fixes the bluetooth mic bug for me.

If it's anything like the phones, flashing kernels shouldn't be an issue. If it messes up you can always go back via nandroid. If we can cook up some kernels that promote underclocking/undervolting we could start looking at better battery life for our devices.
From my experience with the phone area flashing radios is where the bricking occurs because of the bootloaders. Never flash the same radio twice. Also you should never flash just for the hell of it because of the riskyness of it.
I think now that we have nandroid cooking up roms should easy.

What's the bluetooth mic bug? (Searched on this term, and it only returned this thread!).
Regards,
Dave

i think its an issue with the NA tabs that prohibit the use of bluetooth microphone. maybe just another level of security to prevent convenient use of the phone

The N1 has a similar CPU and generally only gets to around 1.15Ghz, a _few_ will manage 1.2 in a stable fashion. I wouldn't expect the tab to get much beyond that.
I'm actually more interested in being able to UNDERclock the CPU, doing so on my N1 improves the battery life significantly.
The addition of the On-Demand governer would be beneficial as currently the SGT is stuck on the Conservative governer. I believe with the N1 kernel this is a compile-time option so with any luck it's as simple on the SGT.

Im pretty sure 1.4 will be possible but maybe not completely stable. I know some have gotten 1.3 stable on the galaxy s phones so it should be feasible.

Actually, the mic works fine on a cellular call. Its the VOIP calls from SipDroid, CSipSimple or Skype that has the microphone problem.

im on sprint cdma, but i used some common sense to get free incoming/outgoing but of course so far ONLY voip thru csipsimple and sipdroid...im still testing them both(i prefer csipsimple ui) but it works very reliably...i test using my evo & my fiances hero to call my tab.only sipdroid lets me use my bt headset i use for media though. to get this to work you just need mobile data and/or wifi. i presume the bug is only related to gsm models.

[BUG] call record on 2.2.1 roms ported to vibrant

hi,
i've tried about 5 different 2.2.1 i 9000 roms which ported to vibrant
when i record in the built in call recorder in the dialer it records and saved.
but when play it in the phone's voice recorder or music player and even in the computer i hear some sound of like a dc signal (like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)
i wiped all the entrie phone include my sd card
and all the roms i tried it does the same problem
please tell me what i missed
i use overstock kernel which automaticly replaced by flashing one of this 5 roms i tried
anyone can check if it works good on his vibrant?
thanks for helping

i have same problem, never sucesse

Only certain Vibrants that were manufactured more recently are able to use this feature. Several developers have confirmed this.
Some have specific dates, but I don't remember.

Manufactured October and after if I remember correctly

i recently got a new factory refurbished vibrant and it still doesn't work. maybe i should try for another

Wouldn't be nice to see a demonstration of the call record feature in action?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

please do sonething devs....
please devs guys do something we really need this feature,
'I can guess it's maybe changing the output and the input names of the vibrant's audio module somewhere in code or something can be fixed by kernel mod addition
Who's ready to do this?
Thanks.

Any updates on this?

Oh SNAP! known BUG in da hizzouse I still honestly don't know why you would want this feature: "Oh yes you did say you hate my mother mister,......(looks down at phone searches for recording) LISTEN, snap!"...... but, tru dat. tru dat not werkin here either just checked on Malice2.3.1.

Werkin dates and ROMs: NONE
NON-Werkin dates and phones: Allhaha. Seriously though might be helpful for others.

one way is to flash china unicom modem.
but this modem has different 3g module, so you can just get gsm signal. no 3G

Does call recording has to do with modem driver?

I was able to get call recording to work! Without using the speaker phone!!
Im using Bi-winning v2. I bought my vibrant in september so its manufatured before october (horrible gps). But the combination of Bi-winning and Tape-a-talk from the market and I get to record calls. It also worked when I flashed simply honey using tape-a-talk.

Motorola Milestone 2 official patch released

supportforums.motorola.com/message/379884#379884
This is first update, as far as I know for Non-US milestone 2. Still didn't installed due to lack of time. Looks like they just update UK,FR and DE devices to Italian firmware. At least we got something...

Currently Flashing UK SBF to install this: Just a bugfix tho :/

enhanced phone and calling stability
updates google services/apps

if you ask me, really lame

and said something about touchscreen *PLEASE BE 3 FINGER INPUT!*

Can't install update now so, can you please, share with us your experience. Does screen sensor works better?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App

Just downloaded this.
As a heads up:
The UK update is identical to the one that leaked on here a few days ago.
Compared the hashes for the extracted sbfs for both the leak and the one MSU downloads.
.sbf (not .sbf.gz):
CRC32: 7617F5CE
MD5: 94E43968E736D1A89767170FCFB88F42
SHA-1: 3B83020E6E6731ECA74984BC7EA72677FD1AD169
I didn't have a chance to get at the gzipped sbf before Moto software update extracted it, but I would assume it matched the leak too.
Regardless, the underlying data matches.
As far as experience goes, haven't flashed back to UK 2.2.2 again yet, but before it rebooted a lot. I have a feeling this was down to Milestone Overclock not being fully compatible with the newer version. I also know that the wifi STILL cut out for me.
Performance was better overall, and I think it squashed the double typing bug with hw keyboard.

Quite possibly true - I had only tested it for a little while. As soon as the wifi cut out I swore and bought a HTC Desire Z.

Indentical to the previously leaked 2.2.2 SBF?
I have been using that version for some time now, wondering whether to flash back to 2.2 and re-flash this pack.

I don't know how many button you have on your headphones.
I was referring to the headphones that came with the phone.
They have a hidden button next to the microphone.
That button allows you to pick up and end a call.
It could also be used to pause and unpause music playback.
Since the update I can't pause and unpause music playback using that button anymore in the preinstalled media player. Can anybody confirm this?
Picking up calls still works, though and if I install another media player (e.g. music mod), I can pause and unpause music playback with the headphone button in those players.
I hope this makes more sense now.

Yes, it does make sense. I never used those headphones, in fact, I can't remember it coming with any, but I guess it did and I just ignored them.

[Q] Call recording Nexus 4 ---Please test---

I also need to know that the Nexus 4 is capable of recording during a phone call before I buy one.
I've tested the app "Record My Call" with the Sony xperia S, LG Optimus One P500, & Huawei G300, all work acceptably with it, not as well as my Nokia C7 did but OK. I used to use the LG P500 with "TapeTalk" as well, I need to record customers details as I'm a home white goods repairer. Please don't start with all that legal stuff, as in Australia it's not illegal, it's just not admissible in court.
I now have a Nexus S, which is why I ask this, which won't even record my side during a call, if that is the case with all Nexus phones then I'll have to jump ship to a Sony, (the Xperia TX) but I like having a device that gets all the Google goodies, my Nexus S has just updated to CM10 stable & it's great. So if any of you new Nexus 4 owners could install & try Record My Call & report here I would be most grateful.

Anybody

Because it uses the mic to record.

Actually you're not the only one! I joined this site just for this thread so here we go...
I own a Nexus 4 and was very surprised to find out that my call recording app of choice, Call Recorder (from Clever Mobile, version 2.0) no longer recorded the other side of the conversation. Just a few weeks ago, I was rockin' it with my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) and recording perfect phone calls left and right. I figured I'd have the same feature on the Nexus 4, but I was all wrong.
Thinking the app might be the cause, I switched over to another free one also called Call Recorder (from Appstar Solutions, version 3.21) and it records only from the MIC, which means it will work on a call when done through speakerphone. However, when you try to change the settings to either "Voice UpLink" or "Voice DownLink" it gives you a message stating that your device does not support this feature. Good thing I figured this out before going Pro ($6.99). This app also makes you go pro if you want to save the recordings and do a bunch of other stuff...which would be more than worth the price if it recorded directly off the phone line. I don't have my Nexus GSM with me at the moment so I can't see if this app works with it or not.
At this time, I can't seem to find any other recording app that works with the Nexus 4. It's possible that Google disabled this feature due to the vast amounts of legal issues this could present to users in certain areas. However, I'm not giving up just yet...

I also am interested in this but have no information to contribute as I don't yet have a Nexus 4.

If we get with Skvalex about his Call Recorder app and possibly start a donation fund to get him a Nexus 4, he'd most likely make this work as he's done for several phones that never had call recorder support before. Here is a link to his app.

I'm interested

@ledfrog I have neither phone, but from what i read on other forums, the Galaxy Nexus didn't record calls. Can you confirm what ROM you were using to get it to record calls? Or if it was stock?
I have done a lot of work with audio on Android devices and i know from experience that call recording is disabled in the low level code on a lot of handsets. This is due to the how legal it is in various countries.

I can confirm that call recording does indeed work on the Gnex (maguro) with the use of an app called CallRecorder developed by a member here on the forums "Skvalex". It uses another app called Alsa Mixer. Alsa Mixer also needs busybox installed to work.

Thanks for the input, please try the app I mentioned as working on the Xperia s. It works even of speaker, though not as loud but OK in a quiet environment.
I used the LG optimus p500 for a year with just "tape talk" turning it on manually, which have me hope with this nexus made by LG.

CallRecorder doesn't work. Not properly. It only records from the microphone - A kernel with the 2 way call recording patch isn't available yet (to my knowledge). And this is something I need, too.

I really thought a Nexus phone would be open enough to allow call recording...damn. Is it a kernel feature and can be added? Or is it on some other chip in the phone hardware and we can't do anything about it...
Also I'm surprised that wazbits had it working on a Sony device...my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc didn't allow call recording either.
