Hi guys,
I just got miself first android phone. Coming over from long time nokia user (since first symbian phone) I need some time to adjust to the new system and feel. Anyways I installed skype from market and I cant get video talk to work. Is this not available for this phone or I'm doing something wrong ?
I searched around for skype with video for my model but no luck.
Thanks
At the moment is not available. There's a mod around xda for enabling skype to other devices but I don't know if it works with the chacha...
I uninstalled skype from market and tried few skype installation I found around the web for 2.3.3 android. Now when I search market to install that working skype again it doesnt display skype anymore. What did I do and how can I fix this ?

Hi, I have been trying to get my TG01 to use the free Skype on 3UK. what I have done so far is install iskoot, changed the registry values as people say to do on forums winmo phones but I keep getting unable to connect when attempting to login to Skype. I have notices baseurl keeps changing.
I have also changed the APN to 3services, I can go onto free internet services on 3UK like ebay and planet3?
I want to get the free Skype and Windows Live Messenger to work on this, I have not tried getting Windows live messenger to work yet, been too stuck on the iskoot skype thing, it's driving me nuts.
Has anyone managed to get these free services from 3UK to work on their TG01?
Also I have found that 3UK is now selling the HTC Hero with these free services and I think you can download both Skype and Windows live messenger if you have the HTC Hero, has anyone got the installation files to share or tried installing this on another winmo phone? does anyone know what the HTC Hero user-agent is in Netfront?
Edit: just noticed the HTC Hero is on android and not Windows Mobile, but still other winmo users have managed to get their 3UK skype working through iskoot. Anyone having this same problem or know of any possible solutions? (keep getting the unable to connect message)
Any help much appreciated

3 uk has free skype service which routes calls through a 3's special GSM number instead of internet/3g/wifi. normal skype client routes calls using skype servers but this will cost you data charges but 3's skype routing is free as long as you are on skype. Now, iskoot makes special clients to route skype calls through 3's GSM number.
Yep I think coolkat is right.
So far I have managed to get free ebay, limited Google also a few bits a bobs 3UK gives for free like weather news clips without topup.
I really want to be able to use the free skype to skype text and calls even though I have never used skype before, I have created accounts with them just for this purpose.
I don't see why it is not allowing me, I have followed the step by step instructions people have posted on other threads but repeatedly getting unable to connect. Thinking of trying the 16th March Windows Mobile 6.5 update sometime soon to see if it will help.

Skype is not available in the Android Market in China or Japan.
Skype has been tested on HTC and Motorola devices with Android OS 2.1 and above. It may work on other Android phones, but we can’t guarantee full functionality or compatibility. We’re aware of some problems with the Samsung Galaxy S, and we’re looking to address these in the future.
It’s free to use Skype in a WiFi zone. If you use Skype with a mobile data connection, operator charges may apply, so we recommend an unlimited data plan.
In the US, Skype for Android phones works over WiFi only.
A fair use policy applies to unlimited subscriptions.

on their website
guess we have to wait some extra time
I downloaded it and installed it without problems I am able to login but after that no matter on what contact I click it shows Process com.skype.raider stopped unexpectedly ...
Says Galaxy S not supported yet
loads up contacts all fine for me though. i'll try a call later. how long until someone can make this work on a cell network?
Working on :
NeXus One and HTC Desire
not working on :
HTC Wildfire
it is working for milestone..
nice app, i like...
aaahhh!!
Not working on SGS! ! !
So no 3G calls in the US, is this done via different APKs or are they detecting the IP login?
Anyone have a non-us apk they want to share to see if it works here?
i have to create a new account using my device (HTC HD2) now its up and running
my previous account which i created online on my pc could not log in
All,
Now that Skype is available on the Android market, has anyone managed to extract the apk file (It is still not available in the market in all regions)
thanks in advance
Anyone have an alternative download for Skype? Blocked in China so can't get it from the Marketplace or from Skype.com
Just replaced iPhone3 with DesireHD and lost Skype functionality - among other things. Still LOVE the DHD though

did you have any luck yet ? i am in china - searching for a android skype installer .... please help to tunnel the great (fire)wall
The new one works fine over phone's network. But still does not have front cam video support. I found a link to one that was supposed to work for the TB and have front cam support but it would not let me login. And it wasn’t an account issue as I can login fine on the one without front cam support....
Oh well....
And the list of contacts remains at the account?
Works on my defy
i have downloaded skype and it works on my Advent vega tablet but how do i set up the built-in camera to work during calls if possible??
Ive had this phone for 3 weeks now and ive become frustrated with the lack of video call apps this phone has. Tango sucks, yahoo doesnt have ffc support, fring sucks, and skype doesnt have ffc support. All it says is coming soon for gingerbread. they are trying to develop a script hack over here to get it working early but i havent heard a update on it. do we really have to wait for verizon to get their working version first in order to pull the apk from it or something?
Or is there a PC to android video call app i looked over in the market.
yahoo messenger works with live video (tried from SGS I9000 to PC)
the video unfortunately it only works in froyo 2.2
it's not yet updated to support 2.3

you cant "tango" with people on a computer.
Ahh I see, have you emailed the dev to ask them if this could be implemented?
T-Mobile's flavor of Qik now supposedly supports the SNS....is there a PC client for this? If so I'm also interested.
Hi guys,
I just bought a new HTC inspire with froyo 2.2 from ATT in the US unlocked. Now I sent this phone to my bro in Peru, where he had a HTC aria without any problems.
Phone works great but we can not install skype. We can not even find it in the android market. I tried to download it from skype.com/m but I cant. It says (this item is not available in your carrier). However as I told you he has an HTC aria with the same phone carrier and uses skype there without a problem.
How can I fix this ????
Thanks
..Sorry was on my phone and posted to the wrong thread.....lol

Have you tried turning off data and accessing the market through wifi only?
If the phone is rooted use market enabler not sure if works with unrooted ones, also try 4shared app from 4shared.com to find Skype apk, can have issues tho until u download the right apk for ur device
Problem fixed!
I had Skype up and running on my Android, but my phone's hardware died and went to Hades. I received a replacement phone; when I tried to re-load Skype, I found it didn't even show up on the Android Market! I tried other application download engines, as well as the download link from Skype.Com, all with the same result.
After hours of agonizing with Skype and Sprint tech support, and getting nowhere, I spent about 7 hours reviewing, over and over, my Android's settings. I finally resolved it thus:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Choose "Settings."
3. Change the "Content Filtering" maturity rating to "Medium."
And that's it! I don't understand why Skype requires a slightly immoral maturity rating, since the app is positively "G" rated, and I've already complained to them about that.
Good luck!
I am looking for a Skype support video. I done some research and I installed the leaked one for the thunder and don't let me to install. Any solution?
Is there any news on this? I am due an upgrade, and would really like the Sensation, but i need Skype video calling to work!
I thought you answered my question JK. I really get tired of looking. Nothing work at all nothing support video chat or nothing every chat I downloaded just normal chat. Hopefully someone get with an a solution. From what I read online 2.3 does not support any video chat at this time. But there is some program you can use for video calling not chat like Tango. The thing I am really wishing is Android to have video calling by default like Nokia which when you call a number it asks you voice calling or video calling. Android is great but need a lot of work. At this point iPhone is so much better more than any Android phone out there. I really start to hate Android in general there is no support at all, Nothing growing. Everything is fixing bugs Ubuntu it's great but never complete like Windows or Mac OS. But we don't have any choice for right now just wait and maybe the companies will support and upgrade their apps.

I believe you need android 2.3.4 for video to work on skype and gtalk
Skype just updated it's app in the market to add vid support for "some" phones, but the sensation is not on the list yet. Anyone try out the new update?
hmmm seems skype video isnt working on sensation...
but on sgs pages of xda-dev someone patched video support in for sgs and sgs2...
maybe some dev can check out if this is possible for sensation too...
cheers...
