Can't login to Skype

I've download skype 3.0 from various locations and threads in this forum but, no matter which install I use wheather install from PC to Htc Hd2 or install cab directly from Htc Hd2. When I input my login into into skype in the htc hd2 it just gets stuck to the skype screen with rotating blue circle like it's continuing to try and login and then eventually get a "network connection not available" or something even though I'm connected to wifi network. It just won't login, and I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm on T-mobile is it since the phone is locked to t-mobile does it have to be unlocked to use skype?
thanks

I thought Skype support was being pulled for mobile devices except iPhone??? Anyway have you told Skype what connections to use. In the settings somewhere it say Wi-Fi, 3G and ActiveSync MAke sure the entry with 3G is in use. Also if you don't use a proxy server, make sure it is unticked in the connections settings for the phone itself. I had this issue when I first used Skype on my HD2. I don't use it anymore as I thought the service via my mobile was utter garbage. Hope it works for you.

Thanks for the reply. Skype doesn't support the Windows Mobile version anymore but, apparently it's still possible to install it and get it working from what others are saying. I was previously only trying with the ActiveSynch/Wi-Fi but, this time reinstalled it and selected ActiveSynch/Wi-Fi/Mobile but, it's still doing the same thing and proxy server is unchecked.

Can't help with the issue you're having, but maybe useful for some people to know you can still download Skype for WinMo if you select server 2 from from the Skype download page on freewareppc.
Server 1 (skypes own download link) is no longer active.

Hey dude,
It happens with me all the time...what i do i uninstall it and reinstall
strange enough works after

I still have the problem. I was able to log in last year (2011), but not anymore. Maybe it's because of my custom rom? Just installed one...

Won't connect to android market ()

Hello everyone,
Just got a new LG Optimus One.
I'm having trouble connecting to Android Market, I get the following error message.
"A network error has occurred. retry or cancel and return to the previous screen" and some other times it comes up with another error message ""No connection" (text) "Retry" (button)"
I can connect to the internet via the phones built-in web browser so it's not a network issue and the android market works when I'm connected to a WiFi access point.
What do you think I could do to fix this problem.
Kind Regards,
dmk0

Try to update the market

Android Market only works with 3G and WiFi. It will not work with 2g or edge.

I can't test it, as I only have 3G and WiFi. I read it somewhere that's why I posted. And as he said Market works on WiFi. It is obvious right?
Edit: I was right, Market does not work on GPRS. 2G is too slow for Market

Market version 2.3.x (old market) works on 2G/EDGE. New Market (3.0) does not work on 2G/EDGE.

Not sure if I should put this in a new thread or continue it here because my problem got worse.
I decided to do a factory reset of the phone and it ended up making things worse.
Now the inbuilt web browser works but none of the applications worked with the internet connection. I tried android market, gmail and youtube apps and none of them worked. Where as gmail email app worked before.
When I try to enter Username and Password for the gmail account (I wait for a few minutes with the waiting message "Your phone needs to communicate with Google's servers..." Once that's finished thinking I get the following error message "Can't Establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.".
I'm in 3G mode all the time (with three and sometimes four bars). Sometimes in a mode called "E" which I suppose is Edge and I've been trying all night and haven't had any luck.
I might bite the bullet and call customer care to try and help me but with my previous experience I don't expect they can offer me much help other than returning my phone and asking for a new one. My professional experience with phones tells me there shouldn't be a fault but I cannot put myself to fault. There must be something fishy going on with this phone.
EDIT: (Additional Info) When I try to connect to the Weather I also get the error message "Weather service is temporarily unavailable." Just after I tried the web browser and google loads up fine.

Market 3.4.4 work 2g/edge but when 2g speed is very slow it gives same error i also have this problem but this is not the problem of market it is the problem of speed because sometime 2g speed is very slow i from india in which 2g speed very slow so sometime market give the error.

problem solved!
i had this same problem on my coby kyros tablet. it doesn't have any connection other than wifi, and i could browse the web, but not connect to the market.
after trying a few different things i noticed the time was way off, and went to fix it, then realized that some how the date had been changed to jan, 27th, 2011. i changed the date, time, and time zone, and the market started working perfectly.
DOUBLE CHECK YOU TIME, DATE, AND TIME ZONE!

get your old market back!!!

I got the phone from Virgin Mobile with there settings preconfigured. It's VM branded too.
I re-entered APN and mysteriously it worked, sad thing is the APN I entered was exactly the same except I changed two of the characters from lowercase to uppercase.

PEAP Wifi

Anyone have luck connecting to a PEAP AP with credentials, I tried some apps that don't seem to work? I can't connect at my University.
Photon Q

I haven't been able to join my work's network with the photon q either. Someone in my thread suggested "explicitly trusting" the certificate but I haven't had the chance to see if the network team is competent enough to do that.
Other people at work also have other motorola phones with ICS so I'll ask them if they can connect. I haven't seen any other devices struggle like the photon q. It just constantly says connecting and then giving up. I can manually set everything correctly and it doesn't matter, if I don't manually create the profile it never asks for the rest of the information.
I'm really at a loss but if sprint's LTE announcements hold true in a couple weeks it may not even matter (assuming an LTE signal is even remotely discoverable).

same for me, I'm just hoping for an JB update soon(yeah right) cause LTE will never be here, but we don't even have wimax. thanks

I know... I do miss my evo shift's wimax, sometimes my work network was so crappy that I'd just wirelessly tether to my phone and got much better speeds.
Interesting that you noted JB. Is the general consensus that Motorola is rather slow about releasing OS updates? My co-worker with the Droid 4 just got ICS a few weeks ago while the Galaxy Nexus has been starting to get JB on sprint.

Successful connect to EAP
Well, my university has 802.1x EAP for wifi encryption. I was unable to connect from my Photon Q using the wifi settings. I have, however, found a workaround. It consists of using this app "WiFi Connection Manager" (Sorry I can't post the link)
I added the network manually through this app, and my phone connects to the network automatically.
Ill write down the steps for my University's network:
1) Click on the app "WiFi Manager"
2) Click on the menu button inside the app
3) "Manual Add Network"
4)Put in the credentials
5) Click Add
6) the phone should connect to the Enterprise network now.
Hopefully it works for everyone who needs it.

I'll have to give this a shot when I go to work tomorrow, I had the network director fiddling with my phone for a while and checking the AP manager and they just weren't talking properly. We loaded our certificate onto the phone as well and that had no effect.
EDIT: IT WORKED. Oddly enough the APs showed up as WPA/WPA2 PSK in the program, but when I manually created the profile with the settings that I know are correct it did eventually connect and work.

good work guys, my univeristy just switched over to peap and this thread helped.

Thanks, guys. Once I had gotten my Photon Q back in late September, I was able to connect to my Universities' wi-fi, although it was kind of a pain because I had to delete and re-create the network profile a few times before it would work. A few weeks ago, though, we had a security certificate expire, and so for the past three weeks I've been unable to connect to our wi-fi. Using the WiFi Connection Manager to manually create the profile worked like a charm though!
In case people are curious, our Universities wi-fi is 802.1X EAP/PEAP using MSCHAPv2 as Phase 2 authentication.

Thanks for this thread, and thanks for this post. I had the same thing happen. My work wifi showed WPA/WPA2, ect., and I could not enter my credentials. We also have an open wifi, which the program kept logging into automatically, but it doesn't work for me because it doesn't allow ssl. So, I had to delete the open network, go to the settings to filter the scan to ignore open networks, then add the secure network manually with all the credentials entered. Then it worked.

Certain Websites work on 3g but not on wifi?

Hi All,
I am new to these forums and to android, but have searched this fault no end, and have still not been able to solve this fault. So am looking for some help and advice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 sim free on uk 3 network and started to notice that a lot of links I was clicking from twitter etc were not loading, or I would just get a page not found message like the ones you get when there is a genuine incorrect link posted, an example of this was links from Forbes website.
I then noticed though, if I switch wifi off and it connects to cellular data the same links work first time?
The strange this is on wifi, all my apps etc update fine, and even if I open up samsung browser and go to lots of sites, they all work, it is just a few that dont.
One I definitely know that doesnt work is newsnow co uk whenever I am on wifi and try to connect it says page cannot be displayed, but works on 3g
Some sites I have read say it is linked to proxy settings?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your wifi dns settings. Could be your device, router, or isp. If you can connect to those sites using a laptop or computer on the same wifi then it is the device settings. You might want to check out setDNS in the Play Store.
Sent from my SHV-E300K

Yeah I can access using my wifes phone and laptops etc
I will look into DNS setting on S4
Thanks
Is setDNS for rooted phones? Mine is not rooted

I have the same issue. And I don't think is a problem with router or modem. Definitely a phones problem. It happens at home and at my work.
And it's temporary. If you disable wifi and turn it on again it works.

Is there a way to force the GPS on from Google Device Manager remotely?

Hey all, unfortunately I lost my OPO last night. I was able to get to the Google Device Manager on my PC and lock it with a message, but I didn't have my GPS on so I can't locate it. I didn't see the option, so I guess this is a last attempt at having hope, but is there a way to force it on?

I dont see any to do it if gps wasnt on , maybe if you had a local hotspot in your wifi list but youd have to know that address , i dont know if it can be down from there either
