Hello;
Anyone have suggestions on Roms/Kernels to set this phone up for Skype Only use? We've upgraded our phones and it seems like a waste to let this sit idle. Plus the current stock of Skype Phones are rather crappy.
I had the latest version of Skype. This version has a lot of bugs on my phone. I started calls, i was able to listen to them, but my micro was muted randomly himself.... so i dongraded to Skype 3.2.0 and now, this problem seems to be reduced.... if anyone know how to solve this " bug " it will be great

Recently Skype has made their app finally available to the world.
Now it can work over WiFi.
(Find on their website or market)
I've tried it on NexusOne and it seems to work. Signs in (when their servers are not overloaded) and even makes calls (for free between online skype users).
On HD2 Android builds the story is different:
App installed and signs in, but will force close immediately at any attempt to do more than scrolling the list of contacts.
What are your experiences?
Edit: Could it be related to LCD Density? Or compatibility Mode?
I couldn not even sign in.It says can not conect and will forse close
it works fine for me.. but that is because i use the app from 3 uk.. but yeah no problems at all.. as they have the Desire in their device portfolio i just browsed to their website from a desire build and installed it..
No problems for me.it works perfect. I have darkstone's v3.1 version.i have download it from market

Do you use the default 240 LCD Density?
Ever since it's possible to increase it I've been use 16 or 180.
I am at the moment with NexusHD2 (2.2.1) build and I will try playing with another build later today, possibly it's an issue with Android 2.2.1.
Skype's working fine for me with Froyostone 3.1 (Desire) with Hastarin 7.1. First time I tried to login it gave an error for login, but I noticed it had to do with my internet connection which was already unstable both via 3G as well as WiFi. I updated my radio from 2.12.50.02 to 2.14.50.04 and now it works fine.
Sound is very clear and all features like skype credits and online numbers work properly. No videocalling yet, but hopefully we can expect it soon...
Thumbs up for Skype!
I installed it and everything worked perfectly...I was a little peeved to find out that it did not work over 3G so I uninstalled it.
Then I decided to reinstall it and wait it out for an update when we can make calls over 3G...now it will not even sign in....any ideas?
No problems for me. It works perfect.

Eventually got it to login today.
Keep getting force close messages, especially when selecting the Details tab!
Ho hum...
Works perfectly.
Sometimes i cant hear the people talking but they can hear me and if i want to reboot it it takes along time to exit the app and right after that i will get an error to force close the app.
But when it works i can hear everyone clearlly and without any LAG.
Just reverted to 240 and it got working.
But I hate such big density on the hd2. That's the reason I avoid sense builds to make the most from the big screen :-(
Better use nimbuzz.

For more detail...
Skype works perfectly. I called my cousin overseas on Skype, he answered on his Nexus One. Sound was clear, with very little delay. Answering calls is a bit awkward because I was juggling it but in the end it was easy. being logged on to Skype increases battery drain, unfortunately. I went from 5mA standby to 45mA
Only one problem.
The screen was acting funny during the call when I held it to my ear. I'd move it back and forth to get it to turn off the screen. Sometimes it wouldn't, sometimes it would go dark but not turn off the backlight, sometimes it would.
Anyway, all of this is the app's problem, just need to wait for patches
I can't find it on market, and when i try downloading it from the skype website it says that it is not available for my device ??!? I'm using HyperDroid 1.5
I'm from Morocco, if there 's a restriction by country I do not see why it does not work from their website

A hacked Skype was recently released, allowing you to use 3G. check Engadget for more info.
i'm running mattc's 1.8 with r7.2 kernal, 2.14 radio and energy wm rom. the app loads fine and setup ok. on my first and so far only call i could hear the other party but they could not hear me. the connection sounded very bad and i called back not using skype. that was over 3g so i don't know if i just had a not so strong signal or if it was something else. going to try on wifi and retry on 3g somewhere else. will update results.
Can you guys quit skype or stop it from running? seems to be leeching my battery power..

...and it is beeing posted here from single fact - for the very first time it seems to work OK on Wildfire (tested on OpenFire 2.3), or at least UI does not crash where it used to crash previously.
Chat is OK too, I have not tested IP phony yet.
I can sign in alright .. if I place call on speakerphone it is decent but when I put it on my ear something is happening with the proximity sensor and the quality is really bad.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

can anyone upload the apk to download cause the market doesnt show me the app.. skype 1.0.0.614. so i can´t upgrade. thnx
Skype eating your data plan traffic?
It consumed about 70MB of my internet traffic using it : ~12 hours overnight (just logged in), ~6 hours during the day (made 3-4 calls average duration ~2-3 mins). I think it's too much traffic consumption - what do you think? Did you notice the same things?
Link to skype 1.0.0.614
Hi,
Here is the Skype 1.0.0.614 .apk!
Hope it works, haven't tested yet.
Cheers!
I got this error when trying to install, though I have enough space.
Anyone got the same?
I have SGS Froyo official update unrooted.
Nope. Anyway 1.0.1 should be out now according to Skype blog. I cannot find it thought.

I have the same problem (
My phone has been doing this for 2 or 3 days now. When I accept an incoming call, the phone automatically enters speakerphone mode.
When a BT headset is connected, it is fine.
Anyone got a clue why it is doing this? I havenet installed any apps which should have this effect.
RTR
Been looking into this all night, with no luck. Has anyone seen this before?
Not had any calls come in on mine yet so can't comment on whether I am affected. I would have thought it would be well known about though if it was widespread.
Are you using stock rom? Tried re-flashing the RUU?
Had this to you need to make someone call you and keep trying with the button to switch between speaker or ear and eventually i got it right! Hold it against your ear then remove it and try button again thats how i did it!

Same here with that issue ever since those new updates started
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Mine too but it hardly ever does it now. A sensor tries to detect how your phone is positioned and switches to speaker. It seems to go away on the stock rom, so persevere on the stock rom. It all worked out for me eventually. Word of advice though, DISABLE SENSE until it's ready. It makes your contact icons in messages disappear. Htc always releases questionable software which should be described as beta. If you use bluetooth for music, stick with stock for now. Yadda yadda. All in all, the dhd. Rules. Oh ya, anyone know how the htc hd2 rund witb android 2.2. I saw lots of great deals on ebay to buy a broken one and fix tbe software to run android. I just want a new toy really.

I had this for a while - turned out to be an iffy setting in my profile manager/switcher (phoneweaver). Are you using anything like that?
FIXED: Oh my word, how simple was this...
Should have said, I'm on stock everything as I have a poor track record with having to send stuff back to manufacturers to be fixed.
After spending all night looking for a solution, and trying a couple of things found on other forums (install phonespeaker app and turn it off in that - doesn't work BTW), I decided this morning to remove the possibility that the phone had simply got its panties in a bunch, switched it off properly and removed the battery. 10 minutes of being denied a power source has cured it. Most bizarre.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.

IM HAVING A HUGE PROBLEM
Ok well first my phone is currently off, I own a Tmobile G2 aka HTC Vision
When my phone is off i can still recieve calls but i cant make any outgoing calls (Tmobiles magic)
so when my phone is off i use google voice to text and keep up with friends but lately after installing this ROM 7.0.3 the majority of all my incoming calls I never recieve or im not notified about
Google voice alerts me that ive missed a call, But when people call my phone it does not ring at all or even notifies me that ive missed a call ((( someone please let me know what is going you would be a life saver!!
Is there a reason you flashed CM 7.0.3 and not 7.1 (the latest stable)?
I'd at least try 7.1 first before trying to hunt down the cause of the issue.
I had the same problem with 7.0.1 too that was the reason behind the downgrade

Weird problem.
Technically saying, when u shut the phone off, most component of the cell stop working, not possible to receive a call, but in yr case i believe there's something wrong during the shutdown process, try logcat while u turn off the phone.
A possible is that, something hangs the kernel during the shutdown process (this happens sometimes even on a desktop), while the radio component still working and communicating with the base, so yr phone "receives" calls, but the system is freezed, it can't switch to the ringing process.

Im not sure what i can do. Is it the radio? or do i need to flash a new radio or something i need serious help my phone will not ring at all and google voice is the only thing that is keeping track of all my missed call.
Please a little help!
When I install different ROMs, everything works fine, but I can not accept incoming calls??? Smartphone rings, and when I open the call can be heard only hum (buuuu) into the phone! This does not happen always, but very often ... I've tested it with many different ROMs, but sometimes can be heard normally, sometimes crackling 50 50???
Use Radio 2.15.50.14

I tested with Android 4.0 to 4.04 - 4,1,2 - 4,2,2
I am currently with Android 2,3,5 but sometimes I manage to open the conversation, sometimes only hear noise?
