Skype with video requires Gingerbread. The current OTA ROM from Verizon is still Froyo. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138759 has Skype with video, but you will need to root your phone and install a Gingerbread ROM. I believe thats the only way to get Skype with video working at the moment.

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.

Update

I finally rooted like 2 days ago & disabled att market blocks, will I have to unroot & enable before I do the upgrade tomorrow? Please tell me I don't have to.

coooooooooool finally.
unrooting is prob necessary. just flash back to stock and the update should be available.
Should I undo the market blocker too & remove the blocked apps?

I was wondering the same lol. I rooted and flashed to Firefly a few weeks ago. I'm tempted to try this just for fun, then prob flash later to the newer Firefly... So just to confirm, using Odin to go back to stock should allow us to get the bloated AT&T update if we wish?
Should I try an ota update before I unroot or will that get me fired?

I just flashed cognition 4 this morning, and unless i hear crazy good things about att froyo, i'm not going back.
It took them this long to get it to us....its pitiful.
Just putting it out there...here's the tweet:
GalaxySsupport: Samsung and AT&T are pleased to confirm to #Captivate users that the Android 2.2 upgrade will be available tomorrow (2/24)

You WILL need to unroot before you can OTA. We ran into this issue when JH7 came out. If you have root, no OTA. It's even in question if you have flashed a custom ROM/revert back to JF6 stock, whether or not you can OTA. Personally I was never successful at get OTA to update JH7.

Just out of curiosity, why would you even want to go back to stock, after running FireFly?
When the OTA for JH7 came out I was not able to update after I flashed back to JF6 using Odin. It would error out
I had no problem with the jh7 ova update so long ago. I haven't flashed anything yet, just rooted. I checked for updates while rooted & it just said no updates yet. I won't ruin anything if I just try it will I?

I flashed leaked UCKB1 (w/lag fix and a few other tools) because I wanted Media Hub to work (I travel frequently and like being able to easily DL and watch movies on my phone). The Media Hub .apk does not seem to work on any of the other ROMs. It appears Samsung included some sort of DRM support in this ROM that allows Media Hub to function properly.
I'll happily flash something elese when the devs release a compelling ROM based on UCKB1.

Media Hub works fine on Andromeda 1.2.
I'm hoping for the usb audio they promised back when I bought my desk dock. Oh yeah, and the voice dialing they promised when I bought the phone. And of course, the support for the audience chip. I'm sure these will all make their want into the custom roms once they chefs get their hands on the source.

[Q] Rom Finder off the Market?

Anyone having problems with the Rom Finder app? It's no longer on the Market and the version I have installed has stopped working. It appears to be the latest (2.4.4) but I'm still asked to update when I try to install a rom. Grrr.

Well, we don't have any roms for the Xoom. That could be issue #1.
No, he means roms like for emulators if I'm not mistaken. Which app are you using exactly? I know there are a few in the market. I use Rom Buddy.

Rom gripper? As I understand it, it was taken down because the dev said there were too many bug complaints and it will be up again when it's working

Hi guys, another question about this. Should I follow the same procedure from that post? Can I install just the talk.apk that its in gapps-evo-20110504.zip?

simple question. I9020A rooted running ICS rom. Do I accept OTA update?

Hi there,
Since my phone is a I9020A on Fido I rooted and currently running CM9 ICS rom, should I accept any OTA update or do I have to manually install it through CWM?
No, it can screw up your device if you do it like that. Just do it manually like everyone is doing.

Only difference between odex and deodex is that deodex is for theming. Odex boots faster.... And if the radio you're using right bow is working properly you don't need to flash another radio

Ok so I flashed 2.3.6 back stock for OTA rom from the thread in this section and now for some odd reason I cant access my CWM. Whenever I try to it shows some box and triangle thing flashing
tried to reflash CWM using Rom Manager and kept getting an error.
Doh!
To the handful of people getting OTA update on i9020a, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get either:
a) name of ZIP file
b) URL of ZIP file
c) copy ZIP file and upload (should be in /cache folder I think)
(preferably all three)
Once you install it the file is deleted and you lost your chance, so please if you downloaded update don't apply until you get at least one of the above...but preferably all three, you would be a hero to all of us in this thread with i9020a wanting update. This is AT&T/Rogers model.

People are claiming to get it, including what I believe was the OP of this thread...so I guess so? All I know is I have i9020a and I'm starting to get pissed off not having ICS!

The OP states he is running CM9 Kangs... He isn't getting the update since he is not on stock -- I think he is just asking how to actually take the OTA when it comes.
I am on Fido too in Canada and I can assure you, I have not received the OTA for my I9020A yet... Once it is available for my I9020A, I will post all the information here (if the I9020A official OTA is not already posted, that is...)
if i flash back to stock with root will i still receive OTA on ns4g?? even if with a different kernal?

I think the kernel has to be stock as well.
I just downloaded OTARootKeeper app and have reverted completely back to stock; I am patiently waiting for the i9020A OTA.
Hopefully we get it soon.
I don't mind a little wait though... by then all the other bugs and such with SuperUser app will be figured out for ICS.

I downloaded Voodoo OTARootKeeper from the android market. The description of the program claims it should hide your root during the ota and according to the apps latest reviews, it works on this ics upgrade. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it works and hopefully the super user app from the market will be updated by then to handle ics.

Also, Superuser has been officially updated for ICS, so you don't really need to use OTARootKeeper. The new SU works just like before.

Also, it looks like I hit "Thanks" instead of "Reply" at first, so.... free "Thanks" for you
I've been through the threads and nothing on Android 4.0.3 OTA for the I9020A as yet. My guess is when it shows up it will be posted in the master thread below
ALL Nexus S OTA Updates for ALL Variants, Plus Full ROM Packages

Btw I'm on Telus and nothing as yet.
