[SOLVED]Skype Mobile > new Skype is out

Hi guys... As you can see in this article:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/25/skype-mobile-for-verizon-on-android-hands-on-with-wifi-off/
Skype has been released... BUT FOR VERIZON CUSTOMERS ONLY!
But don't worry.. there is a way to get it, just download Market Enabler and set a custom value "310012" < for Verizon.
Then you will be able to download Skype Mobile but if you start it you are going to get the message "Sorry Skype couldn't detect your phone number" and will quit...
I'm sure there is a way to bypass this too... the question is how ?
EDIT:
The new Skype with wifi/data chat/calling is out today.. find it on the market! YAY

I noticed one thing interesting, on my Droid I have the leaked sbf aka 2.1 build ese53 and it shows up under Market Enabler as "310004" and Skype as well as the various Fios apps are not available to me in the market. Whats funny though is I still have the Verizon tab on my Market and a few Verizon apps are listed such as vcast media manager and vzw tones.
Does anyone have a direct link to the apk for Skype?

I can upload the apk when I'm back at home after few hours.
I wonder from where/which value is Skype trying to get the phone number...

Here is the apk...

Cool now, how do I make this work?

I got that msg on my inactive sprint hero too. It gave the same msg whether wifi was on or off.

there a lot of xml files in the zip posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652232
One in particular is called loading.xml
Any chance editing this or another xml might help it connect?

Hope somebody gets this to work for T-mobile. It would be awesome.

Yeah.. I hope someone with more knowledge gets it working!

Interesting!!
Us 'three' users on 2.1 maybe able to edit the dial out number and be able to have the app working properly. As the 'skype on 3 beta' only works on 1.5 hero roms.

I subbed to this thread because all android users need a decent skype app.

I have Verizon and this app is fail. You would want to use Fring anyways. You cant use the internet or anything using the skype app because it uses voice and you cant use wifi. Use fring and you can use all these things

Hey, I have the XV6900 and 3g (no wifi) with verizon. I should be able to use this no problem right? Fring has been an issue in the past, not installing properly or not functioning at all. Is that the most up to date skype out there for testing? I would like to be able to use it over the 3g as verizon specified.

I have Skype on 3 working fine on my Desire.

^^^^^
Yes it works now as they released an updated version when they started selling the new samsung. If you check the other skype threads you'll see the whole story.
Also my post was before they released 0.10.0.4 so that was the case back then.
But because 'skype on 3' doesn't really work on any other network (apart from verizon's version) i left discussing that further out of this thread.

All Android users have it. It's called Fring.

Fring is working great with Skype, but still - too much overhead. I'd like to get this application working too.

[How To] Easily get your MSL - Root Required (No PC Needed)

ROOT REQUIRED.
There is an app in the market called "MSL Reader". I ran it and it gave me my MSL. Seems like it just came out. If you can, please confirm if it works for you. It took all of two seconds to download and give me my MSL.
The developer of the app is a user on xda called mmastrac and he has a few posts in this thread. Seems pretty cool and responsive to updates. ALL credit goes to him, I just stumbled on the app and happened to post it on xda before he did If you have any issues with the app, you should be able to get a hold of him on here.
If you are reading this on your android, this will link you directly to the market download:
market://search?q=pname:com.esccode.msl
Update: Here is the working qr-code

EDIT #2: Here is the link to it on appbrain. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.esccode.msl

Tried searching AppBrain & using the QR code with no results =\.

Sorry, the market is being VERY weird for me tonight... keeps complaining about a server error. Here is the direct link to the app on appbrain. I just installed it through the android market though.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.esccode.msl
I can confirm it gave me the correct MSL. I did a ##3282# and updated my PRL. I honestly didn't know my MSL before tonight... never needed it and didn't want to mess with calling sprint. So I did ##3282#, popped in the MSL that the "MSL Reader" app gave me and viola!
Keep in mind I just searched for "MSL Reader" in the market app and it popped right up. I wish I knew how to link to an app in the market. The method I used to use doesn't work anymore for some reason. That or I am still having issues.

Locked up my phone but it got the MSL. Great find!

In the words of the Staples Inc.:
That was easy.
EDIT: The above QR code didn't work, so I used Cyrket to get it. I scanned the QR code at the top of http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.esccode.msl/ and it went smoothly from there.

Just search msl I found it and yes gave me my correct msl (knew it already)

Thanks man!

Worked for me. Took a couple of tries, the Market kept giving me an error, but it found it eventually. Gave the correct MSL once I got it installed.

I am guessing EVERYONE is having these market issues tonight? If I open the market it just tells me it has some server error. But I can find certain apps by searching. But it is really hit or miss. I wonder what is going on. Hopefully some cool upgrade or something.

Great find, but the ##3282# is not doing anything when I enter it into my phone. I'm using CM6 RC2; do you have to be using some specific ROM to get that code to do anything?

Hahaha. When I saw it on appbrain it said "status new - 4 minutes". So I am assuming I was the first to get to it.
Very awesome work man. Only problem I saw was that you didn't have a donate button. Your app will save a lot of people from a lot of stupid sprint phone calls.
I always knew there would be some way to just grab it from the phone...

The market is giving me a lot of trouble tonight too... I thought it was just me. My girl's phone seems to be working fine. We're both running the same ROM and kernel. I have no idea what's going on.
As for the app, it worked for me on her phone. Great job!

Copilot and Flashing

Copilot doesn't seem to have an answer for this, so I wondered if anyone on XDA has. When I flash a new ROM, I can transfer my Copilot app. registration (with some difficulty) but not my traffic subscription. I have to purchase again, even though I'm using the same phone, just with a ROM update. Has anyone figured out how to defeat this limitation? Thanks!

And if you bought it on Amazon Market Place then idk.. but I DO know that my thanks button is over there >>>>>>
And if I am completely missing the point, my apologies.

I've run into this - and May know the answer
I happen to have the latest version called "Co Pilot Live Premium" and the one before that as well was called "Co Pilot Live North America"
I had bought them on sale of some sort - so that's why I have 2 anyways back to your point.
For the older version - called "Co Pilot Live North America" - I had to activate on the android device - and then I "De-Registered" before flashing ROM and ofcourse you can re- register the device - I have read they are not too pleased with too many re-registrations - they are kind of stuck up like that.
For the newer version - I never had to activate on the device and was not able to de-register - I was told on Facebook I could just re install from the market by Co Pilot Tech on their page. So that is that answer.
Now as far as the quality of the product itself goes - I do not care much for - but that is not for this tread.
Thanks for reading this far.

Greatest App ever! & its free!!!

Its amazing. it will give you total access to your phone and you can do anything remotely! you just login with your google account from anywhere.
If your phone gets stollen you can control anything. camera, gps, etc... even if sim card is changed
check it out!

Looks great however my concern is the fact that this is done on his web server..
What if it goes down?
What if he just decides to drop it?
What if his site is hacked?
He can technically access this stuff...Not saying he would but it sure seems like a lot of trust to put in someone you'll never know.

Thanks , unbelievable !
So fuc... insane system , you can control almost anything !
Installing this in my GTAB too !

This is one application I can never complain about.
I travelled to India around 4 months back and lost my phone when I was shopping.
I complained to the police and the cybercell about it.
I was so upset becoz I had lot personal info in the phone and ofcourse its an expensive phone too.
Then i went home and started to search the web for something like findmyphone. Then I found this app.
( I had samsungdive installed but it did not give me the location info)
Installed this OTA in my phone and started tracking my phone.
Police was then able to follow my guide and was able to locate the phone.
All this was done free.
Had I not had this app it was garunteed lost.
EDIT : the best thing is that if you have a google account with android market in your phone , u can even install it after you loose ur phone

Here's an actual link to the app (why isn't it in the OP?):

And yes, you're giving the author of the app potentially full access to all the data on your phone.
Prey is another app that is more restrained but gives you similar features to track the devices, lock it down, erase it etc. It's also free.
Also, Lookout which also has a malware scanner.

Trully, an awesome app. tried all features and it worked. My only concern now if wifi and 4g/3g internet connection is lost, the device as well cannot connect to androidlost account.

In what way is this better than the free service provided by Samsung? I would much rather trust Samsung than an anonymous (to me) developer on the interweb!
Oh, yes, and as asked earlier, what if that site gets hacked? It is a very, very tempting target!

I know. Its amazing. Today i couldnt find my phone and I got the phone to talk to me so I could locate it

I was wondering what if my phone's connections such as wifi, 3G were switched off? I've tested with my phone's wifi switched off, nothing happened. Things will be active only when my phone's connections available. So it's great but kind of nonsense.
What do you think?
Nokia 3310 -> Siemen Scorpion -> LG GL500 -> Nokia NGage -> Nokia 8850 -> Lenovo LP500 -> iPhone 2G 4Gb -> iPhone 2G 8Gb -> LG Optimus One P500 -> Dell Streak 5 -> Galaxy Note GT-N7000 -> ???

assuming who stole/found your phone will not unlink the phone from your google account or just factory resets it... And I guess this would be the firts thing anyone non-honest would do.

i still prefer cerberus, which has a cwm-installable version, making settings, etc persistent across wipes (unless someone flashes a new rom).
small one-time amount to pay for the same features as this, with more features included

[APP][4.1+] File Beam - Send files with Android Beam™

File Beam is a quick application to send files using Android Beam™ (requires 4.1 and NFC hardware)
You've probably used Android Beam™ before, the AOSP Gallery, Contacts, Browser etc all use it.
However, I haven't seen any file managers that implement sending files using Android Beam™, so I made this app.
To use it, tap the share button on any file in any file manager, then tap two devices together.
The API to send files using Android Beam™ was added in 4.1, so the application won't work on anything before that (both devices need 4.1, but only the sender needs the app)
This application is ad-supported, there's a donate button in the app, but please note, it does NOT disable ads, this isn't a con scheme or anything, but this is my first Android app, and until I figure out how to track donations using an API or otherwise, that's how it's going to be (patch welcome though!)
The application is also open source, licensed under GPLv3, with the source available on Github: https://github.com/MohammadAG/android-file-beam

nice job bro! hope u will continue to work with such a wonderful apps!

HTC One X with CM10.1, 4.2.2, and it also shows up in Play Store.

Does it use the Bluetooth to transfer the file or Wifi Direct? Just to be clear, what I know is that NFC is only used to initiate the connection, then depending on the application it either sends the data by Wifi Direct or bluetooth. So which one does this uses? Sorry I haven't tried it yet, I only have one phone but Good Job mate.
Best of luck for the future.
EDIT: Sorry my bad, just read the description in the playstore and it uses Bluetooth.

The official docs say that Android Beam decides what to use. So afaik it should use either WiFi direct or bluetooth depending on the situation (in all my tests it used Bluetooth)

You're on da Portal, dude!!!!!

I love the concept of this app but why not force it to send files with nfc+wifi direct? bluetooth its useless for sending files, too damn slow :crying:

All I get is a notification on the device receiving the file saying "Incoming beam", and bluetooth turns on for both the devices, but no file is ever sent. I'm using the N4 and N7, is anyone else getting this?

Thank you for this! I just used NFC for the first time today and I was shocked to see this wasn't a built in Android feature. I saw the article on the main page and I quickly downloaded.
