[Q] Skype problem - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. Recently I bought a LG G2 than I updated it by Update Center. Now when I want to use a Skype mostly its not working.
When I call somebody I see his name on the top, but the screen is like a gradient background with nothing on it, and after that i see my wallpaper and its coming again to the skype contacts list. When somebody calls me, and I answer the call sometimes I see the previous scenario, but instead of the "wallpaper" I see the normal skype window during the call. I can hear the people, but they cannot hear me, also we see each others on the cams, but nobody can hears me. Only once a hundreds tries they can hear me properly.
I dont have an idea what is wrong. My phone is not rooted, bought it 1 week ago. And I think problem is not the hardware, but software. Hangouts are working fine, but not everybody has it. My software version is D80220d-EUR-XX.

Download the rar file, extract it somewhere and copy the 2 libs to your phone using adb push command.

g1 need 20 sec. till ringtone

Hey folks,
i got a problem: when i get a phone call it took about 10-20 sec. till the ringtone sounds. i'm running cyanogen 4.04, but i got the same problem on my official t-mobile rom.
the mp3-file i use as ringtone is only 600kb big, i thought that would help but it don't work...
i also haven't got a lot of processes running (just k9 mail checking), i use advanced task manager to kill all other tasks.
have anyone the same problem and maybe a solution?
Try converting the mp3 to a ogg. Also make sure the filepath on your sd is /media/audio/ringtones/whatever.ogg
One other thing is look into the BFS stuff in android development, it is suppose to speed up your ringtone.
There's a script somewhere on this forum to correct the problem, can't be bothered to link to it, but if you look for the xROM thread over in development, look for a guy called MikeTaylor00, in his signature you'll find a script that should sort your problem. All credit goes to either him or whoever found the fix, I'm not too sure, I've never had the need to use it, but everything mike has provided me has done the trick perfectly

Could you follow up on this and tell us if it worked. I have the same problem. I'm not too bothered with it but I would give it a shot just for the giggles if it works.
Thanks!
well, i don't see a big improvement... but i don't think it is a big thing at all.
when my phone rings 5 times a day it takes about 10-20sec till it rings, but when i get more calls it don't take so long at all. weird...
I also have this issue, but i have t mobile to go, it it does this on all my phones. If some dials my number it takes them about 10-20 seconds to hear a ring.

[Q] Why cant we do this for the vibrant

I had asked this before but wasn't sure it could be done. Well now its been done for the EVO can someone please do this for the vibrant. This has become even more important to me now that vlingo is free.
Link to swype with voice for evo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752040
Can that not work on our phone as well, its the beta that determines what phone you have.... PM the guy who made the edits and ask. I would think it would work fine.
I have tried installing it directly as an apk and the install fails. I have also tried renaming and copying over the current skype and this has no effect, aka the keyboard for skype remains unchanged.
I also went as far as to try the original droid x file with the above two methods and had the same results.
Apparently there are some dependencies or other files involved.
Anyone have any ideas?
If I'm not mistaken you are supposed to flash via recovery. I spent like 3 minutes looking at that thread.
Thanks I missed that as was working with the origonal apk file posted. Trying the zip now
Keep us updated, that looks awesome
Ok ran and installed the zip file and no change. No errors but same as when I copied over the skype file manually. The skype keyboard is unchanged. In my case still the grey smoke colored version from eugene's vibrant4 build.
Anymore ideas? I would really love to get this working but do not know enough to reverse engineer what was done.

It would be nice if they shared what they did so we could try to reproduce it. I would love this mod combined with vlingo now that it's free, since Google's new stuff only works on 2.2.
I'll try to find time to download all the APKs from the various phones and see what's different. If you want to speed things up, send me links to all of them.
All I have is the APK file from the above posted link and I believe I have the original droid x apk for skype as well but it appears it is more then just the single skype file.
I have sent a pm to the creator in hopes he/she will share their secrets as to what has to be done to make this work.

Yeah, I thought we wern't supposed to share swype apks on here though, so I was wanting the original one from the droidx as well as the evo in addition to the one in the post you linked to. I can of course get the Vibrant one from my phone. Let me know if the other devs answer you and I'll try to help out.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...ent-on-samsung-galaxy-s-and-motorola-droid-x/
Does the i9000 have it? Maybe we can borrow their version?
Well.. what do you know? That EVO one works! Instructions..
backup your existing swype, just in case.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk swype-backup.apk
Change your keyboard to a different one, I just switched to the Android keyboard.
adb push swype-evo-tts.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
Now change back to swype. Mic button is now there and it works!
bug/oddness: The pop-up that shows you suggestions is now yellow with light text, it's damn hard to read some of them.
This fixes the word choice window to not be yellow anymore. I used the stock graphics files from the Swype that came with our phones.
Metamorph required, market.
Couldn't make this work no matter what I tried. Your directions were very good but they just didnt seem to work. I sent you a PM let me know what else to try.

UPDATE
Got it all working now and while they keyboard is a little different all the voice functionality works perfectly. This coupled with vlingo makes for one awesome combination. Thanks to everyone for all your help.
Skype yellow fix locks up when trying to install and I cannot figure out where to copy the files manually it says to a skype directory but i dont see the directory in root explorer

Are you using vlingo for the voice button? I haven't tried to do that, it just brings up google's voice input app.

You have to put them in the swype.apk. did you load it in metamorph? It's not an update.zip that you flash in recovery.
The screen looks the same as googles so maybe it interfaces with it but yes I hit the mic from the keyboard and speak and it works. I know it is somehow interfaced to vlingo as if I turn on filtering so I cant swear in vlingo setup then send a nasty text it filters it out. If i turn off word filtering in vlingo it sends the bad words.

Ok I am clueless no idea how to make my own apk and not loaded metamorph. Any chance I could get you to prebuild it into a single apk for me?
If not then a link to the process or a step by step would be much appreciated.

[Q] Gtalk went missing. Messed up

Hey Guys,
OK, before I go further, I got to admit, I messed up.
I found this gtalk file (attached) and tried to install it with the following code via adb:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Talk.apk /system/app/Talk.apk1
adb uninstall com.google.android.talk
adb push libtalk_jni.so /system/lib/
adb push Talk2.apk /system/app
It got copied, but it doesn't show up in the menu or listed apps. Now I've lost (though not technically) the old Gtalk and the new one ain't working either.
Could someone help me out please?
Even if not to get the new one working, I'd be happy if I could get the old one back.
Cheers,
Maddy
adb shell mv /system/app/Talk.apk1 /system/app/Talk.apk
adb install com.google.android.talk
Thanks mate...I just did that and got back the old Gtalk app. Wondering if there is no way to install the new Gtalk app 2.3.4, the one that has Video and Voice chat facility...
Cheers
try this http://android.modaco.com/content/software/339390/r1-12-may-google-video-talk-installer/ mate.
Thanks a bunch Nimche, it worked. YOU ROCK!!! Really appreciate the help.
Cheers,
M
Nimche: So it got installed properly and i could see the icons for video and voice chat...however, every time i try to start a voice chat, i could hear the other person but the person on the other end cannot hear me...and yes, the phone is not muted while in conversation...
Do you reckon it could be because of the file that may have been made for another device?
I suppose it is not enabling the voice channel circuit..
Any thoughts?

Paul's installer is awesome.

Could anyone share this file with me please? Its in /system/lib folder...
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
Ok, so i've done all that was mentioned in the video...now to find someone online and come back with results if it worked or not...
Still not working...same problem...
the i can hear the caller, but the person on the other end cannot hear me at all...
PLS HELP!!!!

Xoom and Skype

Anyone else having problems with Skype?
I have a wifi Xoom with 3.2 stock software and recently installed Skype. When I first start a call I see my video but when they answer I hear nothing and the video disappears.

I've used skype a few times on my tablet, I've never had a problem with the video, the video seems to be the only thing that works pretty flawlessly for me. In all honestly I think the app its self has the problems and its not the xoom/software on the xoom.
The issues i've had mostly deal with my Bluetooth headset and skype. Sometimes it will send ringing to the headset, then it'll disconnect from the headset and put the actual call through the speakers, sometimes It wont even go that far. Once it actually let me complete a call with the headset but that only happened once. The other issue I had was Skype didn't want to let me accept a call from one of my friends. I could send calls but not accept. So I think the app its self is just borked.
Hello
Skype works fine till you update it from the market. This update seems to mess it up for alot of people myself included. You need to uninstall it and find a previous version and side load that.

Hello all,
Seen a few discussions after a quick google with skype, as I've been having problems with skype too! Video just drops as soon as I start a conversation. I've put it down to the app, as the same thing happened on my HTC Sensation!
Hopefully it'll resolve with an update! Fingers crossed!
It's the latest update that breaks it. Try using the one I've attached to this post.
Had to attach it as ZIP since the APK is over 8MB. Just unzip and install the APK.

How do you install an APK?

After you've downloaded it, use a file manager (like file expert) to navigate to download in sdcard (your internal storage) and inside of the download folder, find the file you want to install, and then click on it. You should be given a choice to install apk or run package installer, choose whatever will install and you're go to go.
And don't forget to ignore updates until a new one comes along.
I hope everyone that's had issues has left a negative review on the market....
Thanks for this, I had the same issue. Installed the APK above. It gave me an error saying I needed to reinstall, but I let it uninstall itself, then went back in to EZ installer and installed it again and it was fine :S
If it has a keylogger I will hunt you down etc etc ...
Wonderful I will try installing this work around. Thanks guys, bought the xoom for xmas present for my wife to skype her brother and family in South Africa and video calls with Skype app would not work. Xoom itself is great quality bit of kit.

Using dialers, vvm, and other system/priv-app's from diff phones.. Possible..??

So I just found the Pixel XL dialer on youtube and it looks awesome, and I also saw the Nexus Visual Voice Mail and thought wow, that's awesome too.. So I tried to copy the Nexus vvm over to my system/priv-app folder, and modify the permissions to 775, but Root Browser won't let me change permissions and if I try to use Root Explorer it just shows a blank screen when I open the app (not sure if it's Nougat friendly yet), so I'm just curious if any of you guys have done this kinda stuff, and if so how did you manage to have success at it..?? I figured if it's the same DPI range, same OS, and files are even named the same, it should work right..?
Thanks!
EDIT: So upon researching this some, it appears that LG uses a "LGContact" file in system/priv-app's and not a dialer.apk, so I don't know how to go about adding in say, the Pixel XL dialer.. Hmm, oh well just figured it'd be a cool thing to try but at this point I'm thinking it'd probably screw something up if I tried it.. I'm still interested in hearing from those who have done this if you care to chime in..

I use an older version of Google Dialer without a problem. I had to sideload it but everything works fine except for voicemail - messages won't appear. The version number is 2.05.07_rc4. Google added a patch after that version that won't allow it to work on other phones. After installing it, you just select it as the default app for phone calls and it handles both incoming and outgoing calls. I'm not rooted and didn't have to change any permissions to get it working.

Actually, not very well. I had always attributed it to the handset as I installed the Google Dialer right away when I got the phone. Is that a known issue?
