Hello guys,
I have a P1010 with Gingerbread 2.3.6 and have the newest official skypeversion installed. Unfortunately the video-chat still doesn't work. I have found several versions here on the forum but I'm still not sure which one to install. Can someone help me here? Is it safe to uninstall my current skypeversion?
Thx in advance for your help!
I finally got it working after searching and working out that there are several builds of signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 floating around and not all of them work! In fact the Advanced Settings section varied wildly between them.
The one that I used with success was Build v11 at www.multiupload.co.uk/6WEIZZGTX7.
In Advanced Settings, I had to set the following:
Force-enable video-calling > ON
Avoid setFPS > ON
Use valid preview surface > ON
Then you will have to tweak Rotation in Advanced Settings>Front Camera (270) to get your face to appear in the correct orientation if using portrait.
I'm sure some other combinations and versions will work too but this is what has worked for me.
Hope it helps
Thx for your help mate . Do you by any chance know if its safe to uninstall skype. With Froyo I had the problem that I couldn't install Skype after I uninstalled it because there was some residual file (which could only be removed by rooting the tab).
I didn't have any residual file problems and I must have installed 4 or 5 different versions.
Give it a go.

Where can I find Advanced Settings? The app seems to have vanished from the Market Place.
You need to uninstall the Market version of Skype and download the one I linked to above.
Next install this version and sign in.
Now you can use the Menu button and you'll see Advanced settings as one of the menu items.
You don't need anything from the Market.
Its works! Thank you so much! Wouldn't have thought it would finally work ^_^.
Sadly with multiupload down and the multiple builds of signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 out there as you mentioned I am having trouble tracking down the exact build you used. Does anyone have a working link for the version japester36 is talking about? Would love to get this working.
I've uploaded signedcom.skype.raider_2.1.0.46 Build 11 to my Dropbox, you can get it from here.
Hope it helps.

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

i have version 8.2.0.368 but i can not seem to save anything from home to favorites. wherever i exit the app, they are gone
Version 1.5.1 now available. It seems to be the same as version 1.5 that came out a couple of weeks back, except this version doesn't revert back to version 1 when you restart the phone - so a pretty fundamental improvement there.
thx for the news .. i'm happy i didnt got that prob from the begining
Oh yeah. Thanks for the news. Why did convert in the first place?

Got it... But no changes since version 1.5 at all ?

Apologies guys, was stupid enough to upload the wrong apk! Updated my initial post with the correct one. Try it and let me know if it works better... well at least it won't be worse
wtf permissions?
I was going to install the 1.5.1 release from the Samsung app store, but finally held back: The permissions it's asking for are not quite to my liking.
This app requires each and every permission there is, e.g. change UI settings, send SMS and MMS, make telephone calls, read emails, change APN settings, change global system settings...
Did all of you ignore this, or were you shown other permission requests?

Noticed that as well, but it's the first update I installed for the Task Manager. I assumed it already had those permissions, and decided to trust Samsung. Some might argue it's not such a good idea
There are more apps in the Samsung store that require odd permissions and I just called Samsung Mobile Germany to ask the supporters why this is.
Not that I expected anything else, but what I was told is just wrong.
I was told the following:
- These applications are from Google (i.e. programmed by Google)
- These permissions are set in Google accounts
- this is no risk as the applications for 100% sure won't make calls or send SMS / MMS
This is so poor as a support answer... And a really poor programming style as well, 'cause it contradicts the idea that programmers should only require those permissions in their manifest that are acually needed.
Not gonna install that crap anyway. What if Samsungs servers are hacked and distributing modified versions of these applications? They're not gonna pay my excessive cellphone bill, should this be true, aren't they?

Did some research and found a fix for the Nexus One (mine at least) where the online market shows that an app has been downloaded and installed, but never shows up on the phone. Does not require a data wipe:
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) same settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to Titanium Backup and filter by "All" and Apply. Scroll to Market, click on it and select Wipe Data.
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Download an app. My downloads now start almost immediately.
Done!
Mods, posted in Q&A also. Thought it would be of benefit here too, feel free to move/delete.
It works, Thanks!!

It's a good new indeed. But don't understand why you're waiting for JB to use the tablet.
As I know JB is a "minor" update, and Thinkpad with ICS's working very fine for me (not like the crappy 3.1 !!!)
Loving my TPT on ICS, I don't care for JB on it, I just want root access!
Thank's to Koshu!
I've successfully installed CM10 v. 0.5, but have problem with layout switch on external Thinkpad Folio keyboard. "CTRL+SCPACE" combination doesn't work. It's annoying to change layout through settings..
It'll be good to change input language by pressing "Sym" key on keyboard as it were in original firmware.
P.S. Can't post it to dev forum.
wow, great work Koshu!
Outstanding job! Works great! Screen lock works fantastic!
Quick question: using adwlauncher and the screen draws sometimes get a bit messed up. The only scroll method that works is regular side to side bounce. Any thoughts?
Thanks again and awesome job!
Interesting just changed density hack option for icons. Unchecked screens are not useable. Checked screen useable but screen draws sometimes get messed up. Would this have something to do with the density issue you mention?
Also, noticed Gallery app doesn't show synced account photos fro Google. Not sure how to fix this.
Latest update - v5, Bluetooth appears to be broken
I saw this in the developer thread, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
I wanted to confirm that I am also seeing the problem with Bluetooth not being able to turn on, after apply v5 of this ROM. Everything else seems to be working great, though.
Update: Oops, sorry, I guess this thread is for Thinkpad, not the Ideapad K1. My comments apply to the latter.

Yep that is correct.
Since I am still a few posts short of the required 10 for posting in the development section I will give my feedback here.
Koshu released an experimental version 0.8 today, I installed it and ran into one rather annoying problem, the browser button seems to disable not only touch input, but also pen input. I have already wiped and reflashed, if I can provide any helpful logs or some such just let me know it.

A few posts shy as well. Was thinking of flashing 0.8 , but it sounds like it may ne good to wait. Current version doesn't have touchscreen working for some major games like deadspace and shadowrun. Hoping that gets fixed soon.
Developer is doing a great job keeping this tablet current. We are lucky!

I successfully put koshus cm10 on my tpt as well. I think I like it.
OTA 3.5 was pretty awesome as well, but it was the annoying little details that lenovo couldn't get fxed.
Noticed that copy and paste doesn't seem to work with cm10. Am I doing sth. wrong?
I'm still on 0.7 cause I need 3G.
If anyone with more then 10 posts reads this:
could you please ask over at the developers forum if anyone has copy-paste issues. it does seem to work sometimes. but not every time I long press some text. especially bad in firefox.

I don't have the 10 posts but I am running 0.8.1 and have not noticed any cut and paste issues. I'll exercise the cut and paste in Firefox and let you know what I find.
EDIT: I tried cut and paste with both Firefox and Dolphin browsers on several web sites and didn't have any problems except with Firefox on the this xda site.

ah ok, thanks. it showed while I tried to post here and over at official lenovo forum. maybe its related to forum sites...
I think it's the recent firefox update. It seems it is very hard to even press a link now. this was better before.
so no blame to koshus great work!
This policy of the 10 posts before posting on the development forum is driving me crazy. I have a lot of questions on this rom but zero answers...
...let's try anyway...
I am experiencing a relevant and annoying issue: when I plug the hdmi cable in, there is a significant drop in responsiveness. For instance, Lecture Notes becomes almost unusable. Any clues? I didn't notice this problem before with the stock kernel. Can it be related to a driver issue?
My first post here... let me just say thanks for the awesome work with CM10 on the TPT Kosh!
I flashed 0.8.1 on my TPT last night which had a SC rom (lots of Chinese apps etc). It works well but I have noticed the TPT is rebooting randomly. Doesn't seem to be consistant as I can watch a 40 minute video, let it sit idle for 3-4 hours with no reboot.
Anyone else have these issues? Is there any log files I can look at to see what is causing it to reboot?

I have the same problems, especially when its idling. I had no time to try a logcat of the hang yet...
I have a Nexus 7. I have root. No custom ROM; the most modding I did was adding a cool font. I have Skype. I have tried both the official version and the lasted SkypeMod. I have downloaded and run CameraLauncher.
Here's the problem: When I am in a video call, I can see the other person just fine AND I can see myself in the little box in the corner. However, the other person cannot see me. They just see a little circle going round and round like it's waiting for me to transmit.
I have verified all settings and that I can soot and record video. This is driving me mental and ANY help or thoughts that could lead me in the right direction are greatly appreciated in advance.

have you tried re-installing the app?
try another video chatting application (Google+ Hangouts, GTalk) and see if they give the same issue. then youll know if its the app itself or some hardware issue

This is a good troubleshooting step and I will try it later today, but like I said I can see myself in the little box in the corner while skyping and I can run the camera app.

Rarely use skype but did try it on my rooted/stock nexus 7 and got exactly what you describe, video on nexus 7 but not on recipient's computer (only audio).
Could it be because you are rooted that causes the issue...... Like sky go you can only use if not rooted. Try using voodoo ota to temp hide root and then restart Skype.
Don't use Skype, not sure if affected by root. No harm in trying.

That is the version I am using too.
I realized today that I am a moron. I was only testing the Skype with one recipient. so, what if the problem was on their end?
Turns out, they were using a laptop with a mobile data card. I just used my wife's phone with the Skype app and all went well. video on both sides. :victory:
However!!! I need to continue testing because before I tried that I fund the advanced settings in SkypeMod that forces video calling! I checked Force-enable Video-calling, Force Camera Rotation, and Unlock Orientation.
Since I had to search high and low for someone with the same problem and no resolution, I understand how frustrating that can be. I will continue updating this thread and [SOLVED] it when I am satisfied that I got the answer for the people from the future.

New info!
The SkypeMod makes skype work on my rooted EVO 4G! that's a two year old phone. I had long since given up hope of using skype. This is awesome. That is all.
/onlyhalfthetime
P.S. When I'm not poor (I got the nexus 7 for Christmas, haters), I'm gonna throw the dev a few shekels. :good: :angel:
It was indeed the other person's issue. No one else could Skype him either. That was silly on my part. However, I did uninstall SkypeMod and reinstall the regular app and got no video with anyone. Maybe because I'm rooted? Using SkypeMod I was able to skype anyone and they could see my video. Just make sure you go into the advanced settings and force enable video.
What an awesome apk. I am still floored that it works on my EVO 4g!
Marked thread solved. Have a good one, gentlemen and ladies. :highfive:
