That's probably one of the reasons Skype says the Galaxy S is not supported...
Check their website..

Works for me!

I use Skype from the Market which incidentally only showed up once using froyo.
It is even working via the WIFI which the 3 version does not allow you to do.

Unlocked my captivate...

Hey guys I just unlocked my phone using that galaxy s unlock app that was just created (thanks dev). I'm with rogers and tried a Bell SIM. Phone calls and sms worked fine and the service provider changed to Bell. I encountered a problem when trying to access the internet via 3G and it didn't work.. The 3G symbol was in my notification bar, and all other phone functions worked, anyone know a potential problem? Thanks

You need to input bell's apn settings before you can use its internet, do a search on google for them.

I ran it on my rogers captivate(think I was running 2.2 at the time but not 100% sure because I have flashed so many roms lately) it worked great for me!
downloaded it from the markey
Unlocked on 2.2 phone was 2.1 when I bought it.

[APP] Netflix for Samsung Galaxy Tab

Credit for the APK Extract goes to Chinle43. I've tested it on stock GB 2.3.3 Galaxy Tab ROM over WiFi that is found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
It works fine, but is a little grainy.
I have not tested it on Froyo. GB only unless someone else with a stock SGT says otherwise.
APK Attached.
Nice, I'll give it a try
Can report that it does NOT work on my stock Froyo T-Mo Tab.

Interesting. So I wonder if GB has some sort of DRM in it that Netflix likes.
Not working on my VZW tab either.

That'd be my guess! An unfortunately since I don't wanna lose my 3G on the tab, I'll have to wait for an official GB update!

it says it run on evos that are only on 2.2. mine is running miui and works fine (based on cm7). haven't tried my tab yet.
Over on the Nook side of XDA, it was found that by editing the build.prop file, you can fake Netflix into think it's one of the supported devices.

Sadly, I'm not brave enough (yet) to try this. So far all I've done with my tab is root it.
Works perfect T-mo Tab...thanks!

Did you even add the final line exactly as post indicates
ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/htc_supersonic/htc_supersonic:2.3.3/GRI40/102588:user/release-keys
I can't get this to work on vz tab. Netflix no longer says it's an unsupported device, but it just closes after I put in username and passwd.

I just updated to 2.3.3 using htc update

May have posted but I just updated to 2.3.3 using the HTC WiFi update on the phone. I was running the stock ATT Rom
Same here it works just fine too. No issues with txt messages phone numbers nothing. Everything works

Its not an issue really. It is how the rest of the world sets their numbers. And lets not forget where HTC is. Your best bet is to just set up your numbers with the +1 in front like the rest of the world. They are not gonna change this for the few US based phones that come out. Oh and its ATT that is supposed to make those changes.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't fix it for everyone. (Definitely doesn't fix it for me.) Is there any other step besides adding +1?
All my contacts are +13333333333. The names eventually show up, but a reboot makes them disappear.
EDIT: I do agree though, it wouldn't be an issue otherwise.
For some reason when i do the check for updates it tells me my phone is up to date. I know i can download the update manually but i would rather not have to as it wipes my phone. Are their any solutions ?? Thank you in advance for anybody who assists me
I don't like signatures....

You can check or keep waiting. Or you can use one of the roms that are have been based on this release and been around for over a week
does it affect the wifi hotspot tethering when adding a custom APN to all who updated officially 2.3 GB?
can anyone confirm this..Thanks

i don't know man.the only thing i can say to you is maybe it depends from the device and not about the software
I got no clue what u have to do. But its working on my device. I am using ViperS Rom. I can download and install it without any problem
Is there anyway we can get the apk for this app?
I have a happy ending.
The app has an updated version yesterday and now both my wife and I can install it without problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.

[Q] WiFi hotspot off and on constantly when mobile data on.

Hi there!
The SW version of my PhotonQ is 77.8.10 and I'm using WCDMA(UMTS)network,
When I tried the hotspot function yesterday, I find that as long as the Data usage/Mobile data switch is on,the hotspot will constantly turn off and on,and everything's fine when the switch is off (connect with my ipod,retrive IP address and so on)
Dose any one has any idea about this problem?
What ROM?
Generally, if you post your question in the ROM thread... people don't have to wonder

Ah, you mean Android version is 4.0.4 mate.
Kernel version is probably 3.0.31 or smth, but that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I don't think the built-in hotspot works (on stock).
It also sounds like you are using one of the SIM hacked devices. Why not install CM10/.1? Wifi hotspot should work fine there (it does for me on my less-hacked CDMA device....)

It's not mine, and if you are using a SIM modded device use Skrilax's!!
You know, I'm willing to bet that this is related to the issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885600. Just on a whim, I tried turning off mobile data before turning on my wifi, and sure enough, my wifi connectivity problem went away.
That being said, and the fact that I have two q's, one which works perfectly, and one which exhibits this odd behavior, I think I'm heading towards a hardware problem, and a warranty exchange. But, if your new rom seems to fix the problem, then please share that here. It would indicate that there may be a software solution to the problem.
