Skype Galaxy Tab P1010

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.

It does the same for me. I'll play with some settings, but not too much. I can't believe it works!

Hi guys,
did someone managed to solve the "half-picture" problem?

MK808b / Netflix / corrupt video

Any idea if there is anything I can do about this?
I could describe the problem, but the pictures attached do a better job!!
NB: The Last picture shows the on-screen controls are not corrupted, just the video.
BTW... Netflix support were hopeless..

I had the exact same issue and with trying multiple ROMS, the only one that worked was an old one. It is software-build related.
The build that worked for me was "update_mk808b_400j1401" I found via one of these links that the eBay seller sent me:
1) http://www.mk808.com/MK808/en/Download.html
2) http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/firmware-download/
I used flashing software found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070390
It works great, but not their latest Android Build...
I did have issues trying to find Android Phone software working with this device build, but LANmote is a pretty good solution, and the only one I could get to work. I tried like 4 paid versions of apps for this stick, and this is the only one I got to work... Most services(/servers on the machine?) didn't want to start and/or function with this build.
I was thinking about buying another ROKU, but for 1/2 the price and a full-featured Android PC for half the price of a ROKU, I knew what the better choice was!
("Android phone" remote control "android touchpad" tablet control "use android phone for HTPC stick control" MK808B)

Is this build I referenced working for you?
I got sick of the antiquated interface, and tried a build for 1080p...
Works GREAT, until I was streaming Netflix for a while and the screen just went black.
Maybe I will try a finless ROM.

Hi,
I tried finless 1.7, and it works great! An older version of JB, but that's fine, I can live with that!
Thanks for the help.

Does the build it have a Reboot option? Screen off function (suspend/sleep)?
Do USB to wired Ethernet dongles function due to the kernel change, that worked with stock?

I have 2 on the way, should arrive by May 2, and I will let you know how those $4.99 10/100 dongles work...
Some guy in the UK bought them for his, and this looks like the same ones, but I will verify before dropping a link to the adapter, as this is public.

I got the 10/100 dongle and it worked OOTB, after enabling in settings, no config, just plugged it in enabled Ethernet, and it pulled HDCP from Cat5.
Here is a link if anyone wants a wired connection: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350766060467
$4.99
I did have some lag in streaming, but this even happens on Netflix via my Roku sometimes, even with my 50Mbps/25Mbps pipe.
BTW I have been running "Stock plus goodies" from here on XDA, and it has been pretty stable...

Hi,
I have same problem with netflix. I bought this device only for netflix and youtube (because Samsung Smart TV is a sucks). My device is a android 4.2. I did read here and on others sites about this problema and the solution is install android 4.1. With your links a found this instructions on this link:
http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...pc-new-factory-firmware-release/#.Ua4K5EBwrqU
I downloaded the files "update_mk808b_400j1401", drivers and flashing software.
I can't perform these instructions because my PC doesn't recognize the device. I have a Windows 7 x64. I plug my device into my PC and nothing happens. On some posts I did read that is necessary to use Windows XP. Oh god, I don't believe this!
I need a help to solve this problem. Can you post to me a way to install this 4.1 rom on my device, step by step, the way you solved on your device?
I tryed to install a oldest versions of netflix, but the problem did not solved. I like very much that device with a 4.2, I would like to keep this version. Is there a fix of Android 4.2 of MK808B to solve this problem? Do you know?
Thanks!

I installed v2.0.2 of Netflix, and it is working. Video will occasionally stop, but just hit play. I found this link on another forum...

I only used it for one show so far, so I dont know how it works long term.

Hi nonpaq!!! Thank you very much!!! Your apk solved my problem and I didn't need to change the Android :good:. I will use a lot to say if this apk is stable, I will post here if it is ok. This netflix apk version is the prove that the problem is on the netflix app and not the Android. I will send an email to Netflix about this problem, let me see what they will answer...
Thanks everybody!

It's a somewhat complex process, but there are step by step instructions in the readme file included with the finless ROMs. I found that getting the drivers installed was the hardest part. I also found that using the reset switch was easier if I opened the case.

[Q] No "Add to Split View" in i9300?

Hi,
I flashed Omnirom 4.4.2 nightly 2014-03-17 yesterday and then updated it to the 21st nightly using the built in update.
I can't figure out how to enable/use the multi-window / split screen feature.
I don't have the "Add to Split View" option in "Recent Apps" manager like shown in so many blogs and how to videos, no matter on which app I tap and hold.
The only options I have are "remove from list" and "App info".
I also tried enabling OmniSwitch but that didn't seem to help.
I flashed superuser from TWRP so I do have root.
Am I missing something?
I'm on i9300.
Baseband I9300JKEMC1
Boeffla kernel 2.1 (although I also tested with Omni stock kernel)
Thanks,
Pyrocks

Same here on my n7105

Yeah, you're missing add to split view.

You're sharp
Now really, I did some more reading, do I have to install Xposed framework and XMultiWindow?
I thought this was supposed to be integrated into OmniRom.
Does it work for others?
What may be the reason?

After digging around I found out its not implemented by default in the final/nightly builds yet. I think you can patch it in.

Thanks for replying.
Do you know how can I patch it in? is there a flashable zip I can download (and maybe place in the FlashAfterUpdate folder) ?
I couldn't find more information about this (except for Xposed framework and XMultiWindow) - and found it strange that so many reviews and blogs show this feature with OmniRom and it's not there.
Thanks again.
Pyrocks

OK - found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567667
I think that the fact it's not yet integrated in the nightlies should be mentioned in a more visible place. It's not so obvious as some might think.

To be honest I gave up on it after reading about stability issues. Probably why it doesn't get included in the night lies.
Aside from that, I have a Note II which had split view on Touchwiz and I never used the feature!

Indeed stability issues, i gave it a try and ended up with a bootloop. Luckily the post also contains instructions for reverting the change so no harm done eventually, but yes, very unstable.
In all the forums and blogs this is like THE feature when peopele discuss about this rom. It has gotten too much publicity and too little discussion or work.
I also had toucbwiz and never used it, the reason was it was only for a limited list of apps. If it would be limitless and any app can be split - i'm pretty sure it'll end up being useful. That's kind of one of the reasons I wanted to try this rom in the first place (i'm not regretting though, it's mor:laugh:e stable than cm 11 nightlies).
Hope it gets fixed. Until then maybe I'll give xMultiWindow a try.

[Q] OS and Software

Hi there, I've recently purchased a yotaphone 2 and am slowly getting to grips with it.
The first thing I've noticed is that the OS is Android 4.4.3, even though the manual specifies that it is 4.4.4!?
I obviously tried the system update but to no avail. Is anyone else on 4.4.3 or is it just me?
Also I again through the manual notice it mentions YotaNotes which sounds useful, but doesn't appear to be on my device?
Model: YD201
Build number: KTU84L.4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks

Mine is running 4.4.3 too, I think it's the latest version available as of now. Where in the manual did you read that it should run 4.4.4? In the French version of the manual, at least, the only reference to the Android version gives 4.4 Kitkat, nothing more precise.

Same here, I didn't read the manual before but I don't seem to have YotaNotes on my phone either (same model & build number).
Seems worth asking Yotaphone, I'd say...

Ah APOLOGIES its says kitKat 4.4 my mistake:
http://yotaphone.com/help/yotaphone2/en/
But still defo missing YotaNotes. I'll facebook message them and let you know.
Good to know I appear to be on the latest build.

Me too, except for Kobo books, I can't seem to get them into yota reader, although the kobo reader app mirrors well enough plus doing it that way it syncs to my actual kobo ebook but the yota reader definately has much better contrast

Good point!
Actually PlayBooks app mirrors quite well, so think that should do the job.

I use Calibre, a nice ebook management freeware, to manage/convert my whole ebook collection on my PC. I usually convert everything to the epub format (I have a couple of Kindle and Kobo readers at home for the whole family), and have no issue to get them on YotaReader. Except, of course, that it won't sync with my Kobo, which is an annoyance.
I'm glad to read that you can sync the reading progress between the Kobo reader app & reader, during my initial tests I wasn't able to achieve this, so I'll try again now that I know it is possible.

Looking for ZGPAX S360 app (BT_WATCH.apk)

I guess this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a specific APK file for an older Chinese smartwatch... The watch itself contains a QR code which leads to this specific file: http://www.paxgps.com/BT_WATCH.APK, but obviously, this does not exist anymore...
The manual says to scan this QR code if you're on Android, or to go and look for the BTSWATCH app if you're on IOS... The IOS app does still exist in the Apple store, but the Android app has always been a side loaded app as far as I know...
So does anybody still have this app, or can anybody recommend an app which should work with the ZGPAX S360 (or anything like that)?
Edit: I really need to update my signature, I haven't used this board in ages XD
