Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards
I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...
Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.
My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?
Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards
Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming
Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks
as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...
Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards
just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.
You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards
Skype works...decided to try it again after all this time and it works

skype works fine with ElocityMod v1.3 , but again in US, coming from a USA ip address you might be blocked by Skype, so a signin is not possible.
but its works and i can call using elocity here (from Denmark)

Weird. I'm in Russia
I installed Market by self (it isn't hard for me) and don't use DexterMod yet)
There are some difference, maybe some libraries absent.
Will install DM and check soon.
In Canada, Skype works fine. Now if only Skype had video calling everything would be golden.

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

Yep) Difference was here:
Original build.prop
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=1
Your build.prop
this setting absent
I commented, restarted and Skype works...

I forgot that one thats was actually one of the issues found, but good you found the solution..
I am in USA and Skype works fine....no video beacuse it is not supported in Android version. I have mod installed though...before it did not want to log in.
Chatting and talking works great...

Nothing is downloading. All I get is "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly."
I'm using Market 2.27.

Same here too. I'm wondering if it's related to being rooted. Total speculation, but a lot of the posters on the Google forum posting do mention custom ROMs.

Is anyone 100% stock, never rooted, and having this problem? And is anyone rooted not having this problem?
The wife is using Fresh Rom on her Hero and it works perfectly...
I am rooted running MIUI and my download started within 5 seconds of clicking install in the browser.
I hadnt even thought of using this yet. Logged in, picked a random app, and it downloaded to my phone instantly on CM7.
No issues here. Running CM7#24 and market 2.2.11
Edit: awe crap, you said market website. Sorry. I was talking about market app. Still haven't tried the market website.

What kernel are you running? Any themes or anything else that could change something? Also what build are you using? When was the last time you flashed a Rom? What did you have for breakfast?
Sorry for the 10 million questions, but it would be cool if we could narrow down whats causing it.
I have the terrible "no device is associated" error
Was unable to download from the website with CM6 and market 2.2.7. Installed a market 2.2.11 zip...voila problem solved.
Using an unrroted Evo the downloads start almost instantly. It might be related to being rooted though...
The website worked for me on Myn's but not on CM7 nightly 23
Just tried and the market began downloading immediately.
Miui with stock kernel. Hw003.

I have had this problem come up a few times and it seems to me there is something getting stuck, however once I turn on WIFI the programs stated downloading instantly, then after that it seems to come unstuck... I started having this problem when i turned off the Enable aways-on mobile data, to save battery. So I offer this as a solution only becuase it has worked for me... That is download it via Wifi to get it unstuck and then try it via 3G or 4G...
I wiped everything last night (for a few reasons, not just this), and it cleared up the problem for me. I'm still on myn RLS5, as I was before when it wasn't working.
I restored all my apps + data, and a handful of system data (Phone contacts, Browser data, and some other stuff).
One thought I had was that maybe Google Talk data needs to be cleared? I think that's related to how the downloads are pushed to the phone. I didn't try that before I wiped.

Same thing I got when I tried it.
Edit: Interesting. After reading posts above, I installed Google Talk, which I never had before, logged into it, then went to the market website and now it recognizes my phone.
Downloads and installs fine on my mikfroyo Evo.

If your on wifi try turning it off and download through 3g...
I can't believe google took away appbrains ability to do this even though they had it first. Not to mention their UI was much better looking and a lot smoother to use...
That's ridiculous. Easily on par with some of the ways apple has screwed its developers...
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/07/download-google-music-4-0-1-pulled-from-ice-cream-sandwich/
Droid Life just posted the new Google Music APK. There was a trick to installing it on the Transformer though. Not sure if this is something specific to Honeycomb, but I had to do a few things before the app would install successfully without erroring out.
1 - Open Titanium Backup > Backup/Restore > click on Music and make a backup (optional)
2 - As it's a system app, force uninstall Music from Titanium Backup
3 - reboot
4 - install the new Music APK
5 - as noted in the DL article, you may need to Clear Data on the new app before it will sync with your Google account.
Hope this helps someone, happy listening!
EDIT: it seems this apk is not 100% Honeycomb compatible as it force closes on the song screen. Make that backup!
I installed but I get force close everytime I click on an album, any idea why??

So far everyone with a tf or xoom that posted about it (myself included) has said the same thing.
Yeah, I spent about an hour trying different things looking for a fix. Reverted back to 3.0.1 for now, hope someone comes up with a fix soon! Artists/albums screens seem less buggy on the new APK.

I hate how bad the Artist/album screens are on my Transformer. I figured I was the only one. It like it keeps refreshing the list and I can't even get down the list.
A new Google Music apk (4.0.1) has reportedly been pulled from Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus which also means that it was built specifically for Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). The hints of ICS are all over it, but most noticeably from the color scheme which has turned cyan-blue. It also feels much more polished than previous builds.

So it appears that this version is not downward compatible with hc 3.2.1. Nothing you can do about that, except wait for ics to reside within the tf101.
For what its worth.....
I have just got it fully working on my sgs2.
Gonna give it a whirl on my tf now.

The new Music 4.0 fails to detect that you're using a tablet, the widget is the one used on the phone. I don't think its ready for use on the tablet yet.
Ive had a word with a guy i know......
Lets see what happens
And, im gonna have a look at that myself too. But i dont hold out much hope
New NetFlix app works on my Xoom from the Market. It also works on my Asus TF, my GTab and my HTC phone. Woohoo, finally working on all my devices!
its about time. now to get android ice cream sandwich 4.0
just updated... anyone stuck at the "loading" splash screen?
I'm stuck as well. Just spins around.

Seems OK on my Xoom and other devices... Not sure what problems you are having. Are you rooted?
Can anyone get a full screen when watching on Netflix?

"Full screen" in the sense that the system bar goes into low-profile mode (buttons and clock turn into dots), yes.
Actual "full screen" where the system bar is actually hidden should come with ICS. Until then, we live with low-profile. Which is better than nothing lol
Works on all my other devices, but I too get stuck on the loading screen on my Xoom with the latest Tiamat rom. I had to revert back to the previous version I was using, which works without a hitch. Only thing that sucks is the annoying popup asking me if I want to update. Only when the app is opened tho, never when viewing.

I downloaded the new Netflix app, but after installed, do not leaving the home screen, only the name Netflix appears and a animation as if you were loading the app.
Anyone else had this bug?

After posting this, I remembered an important detail: I'm using 2.1 Tiamat kernel in my Xoom.

I have had this issue on Netflix on the xoom for a long time, very annoying, even after updating it.
However, with this latest update, it actually allowed me to update it via the market. After that, no longer get the update nags, but, they will probably come back come next revision....
Shouldn't come back. Per the Market update notes, the app officially suppports all Android 3.0 / Honeycomb devices.
If you previously side loaded the special sdk from another post on this site, you don't need to uninstall it. When you get the nag screen to update, just do so and this time the update will work.
Same loading red screen here, it was working with the last 1.4 version, but the new one ave sub and languages choice.... key for me, if I want to see movies in original languages and to to suffer Spanish translation here in Chile
Ok anyone figure this out yet... I am running Rogue Kernel 1.3 myself. Is it only purely stock Xoom's that have no issue?
I can open the app, login in and see all the movies and series.
When I try to play any movie, I got an error "sorry we could not reach the netflix service" (1004)..
I am using the stock 3.2.1 US (unlocked and flashes, orig was a mz604 brazil).
Maybe it's because I'm rooted?
Fail :'(
make sure you guys upgrade to the latest tiamat version
it wasnt working for me on 2.1 it would just show the splash screen with the hour glass
i upgraded to 2.2 moray and netflix works perfectly
no more lag in the menu
Confirmed, the Moray 2.2.2 do the trick if you are stuck at the loading screen
I'm on Moray 2.2.2, and still stuck on loading screen.
I've also tried downgrading to netflix 1.4.1 bld 262, which used to work, but it too sticks on the loading screen.
I'll keep messing with it though.
Well, today it worked...
I didn't changed nothing, but the superuser has been updated...
Anyway, can I change the size of the subtitles?

Many thanks to Kwiboo first for making a mostly daily ICS rom.
I flashed it last night and would like to talk about some bugs.
1. "android.process.acore" error
It comes frequently after using a third part Contacts Sync App.
That is to say, only System Account Sync is OK to avoid this error.
2. Apps bugs
a. "root explorer" UI error.
b. "QQ" force quit.
Other function is still tested, but so far so good.
I can't wait any longer for the next more perfect version.
Come on Kwiboo !
ICS from Kwiboo is really nice enough to be a daily ICS rom.
Posting here to say thanks to kwiboo! ****ty 10 post to write in dev section! xD
And with franco kernel it's awesome!
Anyway to get rid of the flashing screen on lock?
I noticed Google Wallet won't work. It says something about insufficient privileges. Which sucks because I actually use Google Wallet.
Nevermind about the flashing screen. It disappeared after flashing the new version of the kernel! : )
damn it
have to post 10 posts before starting a thread... i am not gonnaa forget my account again,<3 android, was, is, always
haha, actually same purpose for me, no bug like flashing screen on lock wor, just use the whole rom from Kwiboo.

To get rid of the Root Explorer issue:
- Download 'Spare Parts' from the market
- In Spare Parts, uncheck 'Compatibility Mode'
- Reboot

when is the v3, eeee
I noticed that GoSMS is unable to load my contacts, just shows phones #'s. I assume it's due to GoSMS not being ICS compatible?
I also signed up to say thanks for this So if you read this kwiboo.. thanks
I have a NexusS i9020XXKD1 (Wind/Tmo)
I am running kwiboo's v2
patched with Franco (No OC)
For the most part everything works, I have found these problems.
In addition to kwiboo's issues
Not working at this time:
Enhanced Email app (FC, Based on GB Email app, needs to update)
Viber app (FC)
VPN PPTP (Doesn't connect, worked fine in 2.3.7)
Google Wallet v5 Patch (FC)
Occasional Lockups (1-2x a day, attribute to Franco's kernel, if I had to guess)
Go SMS works alright, but your contacts are deleted in the flashing process, no Google services yet, no market but will be fixed in near future (I hope)

Awesome, glad to see wallet is working for you. Although, I feel like formatting data is drastic (for me at least). I'm gonna try flashing venumx's walletfix (v5).. I'd link it but xda's ns4g threads are all f'd right now. seriously mods?
