"Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live" is the one 3UK pimp's at the moment
but the "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" has more options and stuff
i supose there will have been a combatability issue or something silly like that with the 1.5.0.13 so they went back to 0.10.16
personaly i use 1.5.0.13 on both my dream and my galaxy np
dream usein super D [cant remember what version off hand]
galaxy useing 2.3.4 stock + cf root
Answer: i 'THiNK' "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" is latest
BUT: 3UK are Useing "Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live"

Any remote chance of this working on 3 Australia?
...

This is just an FYI of what I've come across. I have the HTC Magic configured on the ATT US hsdpa network. I ran a port scan and found out AT&T is still not complying with what i thought was settled. AT&T blocks port 5060 which is the port that the SIP protocol functions. So, when you try to use skype, just like on the iphone, it will only work over wifi only and not over the network...but not because of the skype program for android, but because of att blocking the port....
if anyone has any information or comments please reply....I'd like to know more as well

2 free sims as well.
I saw a promotion last week for 2 free 3 sims (Say that when you are drunk) as well so I'm just waiting for the outcome of this. No top-up charge This means Really cheap Voip to International numbers over Wifi for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

i think there will be a large chance once we find where is the xml that contains the server address and edit it like what we've done to the iskoot client registry

in the local store they are giving away free sims, just walk in and pick one up, no questions asked.

Thank you very much for providing the apk file.
I have difficulty to download it neither from Market nor Three.co.uk.
It works well on my newly purchased HTC Tattoo with 3 PAYG.
Cheers.

kaizer006 there is any chance u can modify it to be used with other 3 operators in Italy in particular... i can provide u the numbers that the app calls
thanks
Emilio

and also for 3 australia please...the number is +61430005340

check the data limits on the current sims.. It's 90 days free for a total of 150mb so not too great.
I got two free sims with the last deal, I get 30 days unlimited data for 30 days for £5 don't need to topup voice as well.

3 Ireland
How can I locate the phone number in Ireland?

is there a version of this for non-3 networks? i would really appreciate a decent skype client for android (please don't point me to fring, it's still VERY, VERY beta and needs a lot more features)

Thanks for this awesome find,
I just spent ages creating an apk which automatically stuck in the settings for the 3 network, then upon searching the forum again i found your little gem of a post =/. think i should have searched harder!!
Creating an APK with different country settings isnt that difficult, you need to find the auto-signer tool, and modify the startup properties in /res/raw. although upon further investigation this ver of iskoot doesnt have those files so the settings must be stored elsewhere. so you would definately need the plain (non three) version of the iskoot apk.
autosigner and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
ive linked back to your 1st post (hope you dont mind) to point people in this direction.

I'm on 3 Ireland, using an unlocked htc hero. If I install this, will I get skype working with my 3 ireland sim???

nope, it doesn't work.

Thanks for this, I don't suppose anyone has their msn app if they do one for the hero that gives you free msn on 3uk

How do I install the wireless tether on a rooted Hero

First, I want to say thank you for all of the valuable tips I have received from this forum. Anyways, I have successfully rooted my hero and have deleted all of the bloatware that I did not want. I like how my hero is currently set up but I do want to add the wireless tether app. If someone could list the order of commands to push the app onto my phone I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

Copy the apk to your sd card and use app manager from the market to install.

From what I understand, the only way is to install a ROM. For whatever reason, simply installing the APK does not work.

I have not installed any other ROMs, I am only rooted and using the stock Sprint ROM that came with the phone. I found this link over at PPC Geeks yesterday and apparently the creator has updated it to work on a rooted Sprint ROM.
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk
I just installed it with HTC Sync and it works perfectly ;-)

Indeed it is as simple as downloading the app in the previous post and running it, in fact I am posting this right now while using the tether connection from my sprint hero (just rooted, no custom ROM).

help please
i have installed this app on my rooted htc sprint hero 2.1 android update 1 as recommended above and it shows on my ipad (iOs 4.3) but when i connect to it it says I am connected on the ipad but when I launch safari it says not connected to Internet. I did set a pass phrase of 13 digits on the app but the ipad never asked me for it. Then I tried it without encryption and I got the same error message.
I hope I am asking this in the right place and hope someone can help me. I am open to trying a different app if anyone has a better suggestion or any idea how to get ipad to tether to rooted hero? thanks for your help!

Wireless tether for root users.
Free in the market.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!

i believe that is the same as the link posted by "cold sweat" above because that's what I installed and not working.

No, it isn't. The one from the market is pretty much what everyone uses.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Gingerbread-on-Hero action here!

Mine is touch and go. Wireless tether only seems to work with certain kernels. I know on my moment kernels had to have netfilters enabled to work.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

ok ill try and uninstall the tether i installed from link above and install from market. will let you know how that goes later on. will hope for the best!

Did your PC recognize the tether app as a network?
Did you give permissions in the app to the PC that is connecting?

i am not trying to tether to pc. i am trying to tether to ios 4.3 ipad. i did give permisions in the app to the ipad which is connectiing and it came up as green symbol in tray once i did. but that was using the older link for the tether app. I hope the newer one works better which is in the market.

thank you!! but 1 more question...

yeaaaaaaaaaaaa, that worked. I guess the android tether that was linked in this thread is an older version (14) than the one in the market. It works great now on the iPad. I did not go in and set a password, do you think that is a good idea? I have an unlimited data plan so not sure if it is even neccesary or a good idea to mess with the settings on the app.

You would still have to approve the device when it tries to connect....

ok then i wont change the settings for fear trying to fix something that is not broken could take an app which is working into not working lol. thanks again for all your help!

now that iam rooted is it possible to move apps to sd or would i need to get a custom rom? I am on stock 2.1 update 1 (rooted htc sprint hero)

You would need a rom that supports apps2sd. Word of advice, don't put apps with widgets you run on the sd card. They won't be found and you'll get the "problem loading widget" display.

I don't use apps2sd at all. Just don't like burning out and replacing my card all the time.

thanks to everyone for being so helpful to a newbie!!

Has anyone gotten Telenav GPS Navigator working on the Hero?

I downloaded the G2 version from ota.telenav.com, and it installed and registered just fine, but it tells me that a new version is available when I try to run it which just takes me back to the same download link. I prefer TN to Sprint Nav because it is about half the size, and it has all of the features that Sprint removed from SN. I've attached the G1 and G2 files, so please let me know your results!

I used this version last night .looks similar.give it a shot

ota.telenav.com had a version below what was being pushed out. Dont remember exact # but i used 1165 from tmobile mytouch http://ota.telenav.com/ota/tm

That is the version I attached as well

removed?
just curious, but what kind of features are removed in the sprint nav version?
-AndyS-

Just got it to work with the G1 version!

If you don't have Sprint Nav "Premium" then things like voice input and weather are available to you. Also (at least on the BlackBerry versions) TeleNav has more map views like 3D Follow Me when you are browsing the regular map. I have yet to check this out on the Android version despite them being the same version number.

tried the tn55-g2-1163 which showed version 5.5 when starting the app. it sent me to upgrade so I tried the tn55-android-g1 next and it still showed v5.5 but allowed me to access the app.
I see that in this telenav I now have the weather option where in the sprint navigator i didn't.

Yes if you have Sprint Nav in your contract already (it is made by TeleNav). Just use the last 4 digits of your phone to register.

Heh... good question Biles. Sorry.. not a noob but not an expert either.
I have the Everything plan. Upgraded to Sprintnav 2.8.
It logs me in when I load it. It also shows I have a pin #
*shrug*

I believe you can go to the Telenav web site and get your pin#. I know that's how it used to work when I had my TP.
Just tried it. Still works. It will email and text the number to you.

Your PIN defaults to the last 4 digits of your phone number. You can view it in the SprintNav app if you have changed it.

When I was on Android 1.5 & used Sprint Nav, I had voice input & I don't have the Sprint Nav "Premium" pack...

I know what my Pin # is.
When I downloaded the apk to my Hero it asked me to register
Name
Last Name
Email Address
Didn't ask me for a pin # etc etc
I just went to the TElenav website and was able to "login" with my Sprint phone number and pin #.
Now how do I get it to "register" with the Telenav on my Hero?
BTW:
Rooted with Fresh 1.1

I got the G1 version working perfectly. It's amazing that I can have the old Sprintnav and Telenav installed and and still use less space then the basic 2.8.

[App] 3UK - Windows Live Messenger - Free WLM on 3UK

Heres the offical Windows Live Messenger for the 3UK Network
from the HTC Hero but it works on my Dream/G1 on 3UK after a quick rom change
its ment to be free to use ON 3UK ONLY!!!
it would not work with my HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) on CyanogenMod CM v4.2.14.1 (not for me anyway)
for me it kept saying turn WiFi off to use this app
so i changed over to SuperD 1.9.3 with radio 2.22.19.26I
and it seems works fine and it sign's in most times (not every time tho)
would be handy for people to post what roms it works on too
cos ive heard it wont run for everyone
This is for and works on 3UK
i dont know if it will work on anyother network cos ive not tried it
also im sure if you can get the propertys up you can no dout mod it
i dont know how to so i cant realy help sorry
its in a basic .zip so just extract the apk and install and enjoy ect

does not work with 3AU

Would be great if someone could get this running on other networks.

you should be able to get it to work with all 3 networks if you can get the propertys and modify em
its should just be a matter of puttin the url from ur 3 network in
for NONE 3 networks tho i dont know
all i know for sure is that app as it is unmod'd will only properly work on 3UK
if anyone can show me how to get to the property xml for it
then i mite be able to get the right settings ect
same goes for the 3UK Skype app
but im a noob when it comes to stuff like that

get the same result each time, first message 'we have encountered some technical problems. We apologize for the inconvenience.' then when trying to sign in 'To connect to Messenger please turn off the Wi-Fi function on your mobile' on 3g T-Mobile network, looked like a good app aswell :/ hope theres a fix or something soon

app_param.txt has all the settings that need to be changed as far as I know but I'm not sure what to change.

I hope someone can get this to work for T-mobile and other networks.

Thanks
IF you're on another network just use meebo or something, if youre on 3 then use this as it's not counted in your data

Im in the uk on 3 but it says i need to connect to 3-uk lol
I dont hav an option for 3-uk , only 3

I tried it and it did cost me data, on official 1.6 firmware not rooted yet.

correction something else was using my data, but this rarely signs in properly often i get turn off wifi or an error saying sorry there are tech issues, and when it does work its very slow and laggy.... hope there are more updates for it.

[REQ] Skype apk that can do calls over mobile network

I have the apk which used to work before over 3G, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Does anyone have a new version of it, or know why the old hacked skype.apk doesn't work anymore? Now it just keeps telling me that my sign in name doesn't exist

I also installed the hacked APK that you're referring to. I just checked it on my and it's still working like usual. Perhaps you set it to auto-update in the Market and it got overwritten by an unhacked install? That's what happened to me, and I had to uninstall and reinstall with the hacked APK.
I could have sworn that there was a thread somewhere in these N1 forums which was all about the hacked Skype 3G APK. If you've already run a search, please ignore. If not though, I'd suggest you take a crack at the search function whenever you're in doubt.
Anyhow, I believe this is the thread where I first downloaded the working Skype 3G APK: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
At the very least, it's definitely the same dude-- I remember that username.
Good luck, and happy VOIPing

I'm confused. How come Skype won't work over 3G for you? It works perfectly fine for me, downloaded straight from the market. I've had hours of conversations on it.

Skype has a contract with Verizon in the States to only do 3G Skype with them. It's restricted to Wifi only on all other carriers.

Oh that must really suck. And here I thought the carriers in Canada sucked. At least I get Skype over 3G here. Canada only mostly sucks now.

I had the same problem today... I found out my problem was my new keyboard (Swiftkey) automatically added an additional space after my name. Following this correction, I placed a call over 3G without issue. Maybe that could be your issue too.

Hello,
I have installed the Hacked 3g version on my verizon galaxy tab and no matter what I do, my wife and I can not talk to each other, the connection seems laggy and our voices cut in and out. MY wife uses a mytouch on tmobile till we get the money to get her a verizon upgrade.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
