Me too. Also I want the ability to send and recieve files.

According to
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2011/08/skype_21_for_android.html
Is your device not on the list? No need to worry...
For those of you using Android 2.2 (Froyo) and above, you should still be able to enable video calling in your Skype settings. Just go to "Skype settings" after launching the app and select "enable video calling".
Unfortunately, if you cannot see the video calling settings, it means your Android phone does not meet the minimum requirements needed to make Skype video calls. Please be aware that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified Android device and only the back camera of the device will work if your device is running on Android 2.2 (Froyo).

Not sure how transformer can not meet the min requirements.

maybe it's so cause our transformers are tegra2 devices

Samsung Galaxy S2 IS a tegra2 mobile phone device, just not a tablet device? and sadly drivers are 2.3.4 based, which again means that 2.3 gingerbread drivers are probably not 3.x compatible anyways..
very sad..
edit: i was wrong, it seems!!

It is now working on my MT4G. It has an option in settings to enable video call. That option does not appear on TF. On mobile I got a very good videpo quality. Since Microsoft took over Skype, things are finally moving. Perhaps tablets are next.
Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101

Sick and tired of Skype's ****ed up bull****, our Eee Pads can MORE then handle video calling and tegra2 phones use it, its just bull**** plain and simple. They play ****ing games (remember Fring). And no one at Skype will give a straight answer and they have no contact line, emails go unanswered, I assume they simply dont give a **** like most other tech companies these days (can you say dell tech support line? I knew you could).

I'm pretty sure Skype has a reason. It's a business. It wants to make money. It is going to do what ever is most profitable. If you don't like it, start your own VoIP company, convince the majority of the world to use it, then develop an app for every device/OS out there. I'm pretty sure you'll find it's hard to make everyone happy.
With that said, I too look forward to having Skype video chat on the Transformer.

Here is the response from Tech support:
"We understand your concern about the availability of video calling on your ASUS Transformer. We will be happy to assist you with this.
Steve, we are working on adding more Android devices all the time, but we are not able to provide you with an exact time frame for when your device may be supported.
To make Skype video calls on Android device, you will need:
An Android phone running Android 2.2 (Froyo) or above. Front facing camera. Chipset with NEON technology support*. The latest version of Skype for Android (Skype 2.1 for Android and above).
* This specifically does not include some tablets that use the Tegra 2 chipset (e.g. Android tablets and Motorola"

What do you think of the Samsung Galaxy?

Hi, I don't want be rude and talking badly to the Samsung Galaxy but a new device with Android OS that has only a 3.2Camera and no- Flash seems bit absurd don't you think? The name has nothing to do with the real world...a galaxy or a star usually is very bright...with this phone you cannot even make photo or video in the night time...mmmm....not a galaxy whatsoever................
All I can say is: Stay with HTC models!
But the procesor and the chipset is a lot better then the crappy qualcomm. If only HTC start to use different processors.
Qualcom chip
Are you sure about that? I have an Htc Diamond 2, a Sony Xperia X1, and Htc Hero, they are perfect ! before that a Samsung D900...it was fine...nice phone but I could not do it the things I do with Htc or Sony.
u cannot compare phones with different OS, and I dont know what chip was used in D900. I am talking about Snapdragon(Qualcomm) vs. Hummingbird(Samsung).

have you seen the galaxy videos? it takes like 5+ secs to actually getting in to the gallery after pressing it. it seems kinda slow to me. unless that's because of the software being beta or something, that's slow to me.
@ qualcomm vs hummingbird: qualcomm will come out soom enough with dualcores.

1. seen that, especially the "Lady" that was clicking on icons like she was mad and launching few programs at the same time, but who knows.
and after qualcomm will come with dualcore, samsung will come with better dualcore.
I think there were some benchmarks comparisons, will try to find them.

Hello,
i was actually wondering if anybody knows how to Mod correctly a galaxy.
I have a galaxy from the middle east which does not come with marketplace. the I7500JVIL2. I have flashed it using ODIN to another rom I7500xiik, however many options stopped working like sdcard, camera, etc... i flashed it to 1.6, camera started working but sdcard still doesn't.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to get this fixed. I need sdcard so that I flash using recovery mod. I'm trying to flash it back to the original build I7500JVIL2, hoping this will make everything work again.
Do you think this is a good solution? Are there suggestions you can make on another build to use that has marketplace and everything working on the phone.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I couldn't find anything regarding galaxy on XDA and I love this forum. I habe been able to succesfully mod my g1 through this forum.
Thanks,
VENI VIDI VICI

For me the only thing to like about the galaxy is it's name
I just realized that you are talking about the galaxy(i7500) and not about galaxy s(i9000).
BTW galaxys, you should sue samsung for using your nick.
Personally I wouldn't touch a Samsung with a bargepole, I have owned a few Samsung phones, where the phones tend to be okay they do not support them at all with firmware updates, they have a remarkable release rate of phones and rather than supporting the current ones they just release a new one!
Galaxy name
Yeah your right only the name is cool....I don't know why people don't pay attention to the market...We have around in Uk at list 10 top of the range mobiles, starting with HTC HD2, Htc Desire, Htc Legend, Nexus One, Diamond 2, Motorola Milestone, Nokia n900, Omnia2 and so on....Why buying the Galaxy?. I will give you another example: Which would you buy between Htc Desire and Sony Xperia X10???...Of course the Desire!!! they have the same price but Desire is on another planet: Android 2.1, Multitouch, better Keyboard, better interface...Maybe..the only thing Xperia X10 has better then Desire is the Camera that's all...Xperia X10 is basically a 2009 device sorry arrived to late!

[DEV Discussion] HD Mini Android/Linux Development Thread

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the possibilities of getting Android up and running on the HD Mini.
A word to the wise…porting Android is NOT easy, it took almost 1 year to get an (almost) fully working port for the HTC Touch Pro, and there were a LOT of really good Linux developers spending TONS of time on it. (The preceding sentence was paraphrased from this post by TheDeadCpu.)
***There have been many threads opened on this topic…and most of them have been merged with this thread.

Me to!! Can't live with what's in the HD Mini, but most certainy I can live with the hardware. Anybody knowing how to androidize it?
I bought HD mini due to the outlook, size and weight!
Legend have poor taste and the shape is not good to store in pocket.
Frankly, WM is more easy to copy and edit the Word/Excel files from PC and I can check some files out of office easily.
And I just seek for any solutions for multi-boot with Android OS as Android looks better and I just want to try it and need not to buy another phone.
Cos I have one iPhone already, too many mobile phones~
When the evo rom arrives, it will be ported to hd2. I find it logical that it will be a android powered hd mini in the future. Then, it would be rather easier than now to create a custom android rom for hd mini But I should stick to reality.
The dual boot app for winmo devices isn't written for hd minis hvga resolution.
But hey, the diamond 2 or touch pro 2 does not have a android twin to take a rom from. I will put up a request for hd mini support for the android dual boot app.
The hd mini would have been a great android device!
Sorry for bad English.
Thanks gingerviking! I agree that the hardware is made for Android rather than wm6.5. I cross my finger for a rapid solution - WM is just not for me anymore..
Good news is that a genious has managed to get the linux bootloader to work on hd2 and playing a 720p video. An Android port will soon come to hd2 even without the evo rom
Hopefully the kernel system on hd2 isn`t all that different from the hd mini
Well. We're all looking forward to see a genious hacker who cares about the hd mini and android. =)
Don't know if it will work but you guys could give it a try cause it runs via haret:

Anything else besides android that you guys might want??? how about some cookies along with it? lol if you wanted android why did you bought a windows mobile based device?? cause of haret? if you want android on your hd2 mini, yould need a working linux kernel, then you can worry about android, and its not that easy im not going over this again im tired of explaining to noobs that android is not a a program that you can simply install...it dosnt work that way.

Yes and, unfortunately for us, HTC Aria will be, and nowadays is, available only for USA market...
I want it in Italy!!!!!! Or maybe... someone which could "do" a complete Android ROM for the HD Mini, based on the Aria!?!?!? I wish it! I really want it...!

Call Recording

Hi, as you know HTC (and all others) disallow call recording in their phones since the times of Windows Mobile 2003. This problem is now on the Android devices too. There are many opened issues on Google code for this problem, that gained a lot of stars, especially this one code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117 (sorry, I'm new and not allowed to post links)
There are workarounds like recording trough loudspeaker, but as you know this is far from useful.
However, there is no official answer from Google about this "issue". However, last week the Koreans released a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S, that has built-in native call recorder.
This is from the Samsung's Hub:
Samsung has released a new update for South Korean Galaxy S (SHW-M110S) owners. The update DH09 is not a Froyo update but it does bring worthy additions to the handset. Few visible features are the inclusion of Swype keyboard, ability to record conversations and an app to detects the slope of the magnetic field sensor.
Other than that, the DH09 features RAM management, includes a 3G data widget, downloadable fonts and improves on many other fronts like Allshare, Google Maps software, call quality etc.
The update is available via Kies.

Click to collapse
There is a screenshot as attachment (it's in Chinese):
Is there any way to break apart this ROM (DH09) and bring this or similar functionality to Froyo for Desire or Nexus or anything...?
Could you explain me where exactly is the problem for successful two-way call recording? Some say it's in the hardware, other think it's in the ROMs of the manufactures or in Android in general. However in Android emulators it works perfectly!
waooooo....someone please extract it
Anyone? Any answer? At least people who hacked WM ROM's to explain me where exactly is the problem for two-way call recording.
Call Recording is something very useful and I think is a "must have" function in today's world. However big companies and carriers are afraid letting people do that for legal reasons. That's why I think they will never allow us to do that out of the box, so we (the users) have to make it reality with custom hacked ROMs, like we did previously for Windows Mobile devices!
Anybody say something, please
The voice streams were handled by the baseband processor, it's that the baseband firmware aren't setup to offer the streams to the application processor that's limiting the ability to truly record a call. The Android system long has the API implemented, but it can do nothing in this case.
I remember there was an explanation in the Google code issue report mentioned above.
Here it's: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117#c226
Since the baseband firmware is close sourced and available in binary only, I doubt if the brilliant hackers here can do anything about this.
So, get a Galaxy S (the true one, not even those US variants) if you really want this feature.
Thanks for the reply. So, the bad guy is the baseband processor. iPhone guys hack the baseband processor of the iPhone to unlock it for different carriers. So, I guess it's doable to hack the firmware for two-way recording too.
I read here in XDA Devs that someone found a "cure" for HD2 very easily, just by editing the registry - xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/two-way-in-call-recording-on-hd2-fixed/
HD2 uses the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon QSD8250 processor with built-in baseband processor. The same is used by HTC Desire, HTC Dragon, HTC Mozart, Nexus One, Dell Streak, SE Xperia X10 and many more.
So, why with HD2 is so easily, but with Nexus is not? What is the difference when they use the same CPU with the same baseband processor built-in? Is the baseband firmware different for Android OS and Windows Mobile? If so, how they run Android on HD2 and the cellular is working?
Just my thoughts
I found TotalRecall on the Android Market and it records both sides of my conversations.

Many call recorders can record both-way, but only with the use of speakerphone. I suspect it's the same for TotalRecall, judging by the ratings of the 14-day demo (http://www.appbrain.com/app/total-recall-call-recorder/com.killermobile.totalrecall.trial)...?

OK, does somebody tested the Galaxy S with TotalRecall or other call recording software? Is it working out of the box or do I have to preflash the ROM with the korean's one? And if I do, could I continue to use my phone normally and in English language?

No, it's not available in Froyo. This is only for Koreans. However the important thing here is that CALL RECORDING IS POSSIBLE on Galaxy S. As you stated in your first post, to record a call Android needs access to the baseband processor. Galaxy S uses own CPU called S5PC110 (ARM Cortex A8) with built-in baseband processor, which is different from the baseband that is used in the new HTC devices, SE Xperia and Droid. As we all know these devices doesn't work with the call recording apps on the Market. Samsung Galaxy S has really good chances to work properly with these apps!
SO, SOMEBODY PLEASE TEST!

Nice! However for the EPIC STUPIDITY of the most users who gave low app rating, the author unpublished it from Market.
His app clearly shows that two-way call recording IS POSSIBLE, even on certain hardware and rooted Android. The author notes that his app only works on Hero and Magic. They use Qualcomm® MSM7000 and MSM7200, probably with the same baseband processor and he found a way to access it. I will try to contact him for more info and I hope some source code...
Hi,
I tried some apps like Ultimate Voice Recorder, Total Recall, Call Recorder, they all pick up sounds from the second you press dial so that you hear on the recording the phone ringing at the other side, and they stop a few seconds after the conversation starts. I cold hear on the recordings bouth sides, but no recording is over 10 seconds, no matter what settings I choosed. I didn't use the speaker mode.
Maybe some files need to be run as administrator...don't know... I'm new to android and don't know much about linux.
The other apps that claim to be able to record calls are designed for Android 1.6 so it may be possible but not with 2.1 or 2.2
As far as I understood from what I've read, the korean version of I9000 has also a different hardware not just firmware, so it might be more than just a software adjustment needed.

I presume you use Galaxy S, right? That what you said is really interesting! The fact that recordings contain both sides is very encouraging! The 10 seconds bug I guess is due to some rights or something. I don't own Galaxy S to do further investigation of this problem, but I hope somebody who own it and is deep in Android to do it.
I don't think the Koreans version has different hardware. At least it uses the same CPU, and that means the same baseband processor.
Any news...?

Skype 2.0 video released

The number of devices suported is very limited:
* Google Nexus S
* HTC Desire S
* Sony Ericsson Xperia neo
* Sony Ericsson Xperia pro
Strange decision for skype with only this devices suported ....
Unfortunately video call not suported for my Galaxy S.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/30/skype-two-way-video-calling-comes-to-nexus-s-desire-s-xperia-n/
same here, no video on galaxy s..
anyone knows how it identifies the phone? maybe if you modify it's identifier to nexus s it would work?
We need the guys that worked on the Netflix APK to take a look at it. I'd love for this to be on my sensation.
Oddly it doesn't work on the Nexus S 4G.
also now has a running service that doesn't let u close the app.
what is with devs that think their app is so great that you shouldn't be allowed to close it and it must remain constantly running?
Maybe change ur build.prop, like the nerflix app
Please hack this application !!!
could the magic combination be the latest Gingerbread + FFC?
One of the advantages to the latest Ginger, if I recall correctly, was native APIs for a front camera (until now, apps had to be coded for specific camera devices- that's why some video chat apps only supported some hardware).
Are these maybe the only devices running the latest Google update that happen to sport a front camera?
Start hacking! From the skype 2 apk:
Code:
{white:[{name:"HTC Saga", mft:"(?i)HTC",
board:"(?i)saga",
model:"(?i)HTC saga", product:"(?i)htc_saga",
device:"(?i)saga"},{name:"HTC Desire S", mft:"(?i)HTC",
board:"(?i)saga",
model:"(?i)HTC Desire S", product:"(?i)htc_saga",
device:"(?i)saga"},
{name:"Nexus S", mft:"(?i)samsung",
board:"(?i)herring",
model:"(?i)Nexus S",
product:"(?i)soju",
device:"(?i)crespo"},
{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown",
model:"(?i)MT15[ai]", product:"(?i)MT15[ai]_.*",
device:"(?i)MT15[ai]"},{name:"Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro",mft:"(?i)Sony Ericsson",brand:"(?i)SEMC",board:"(?i)unknown",
model:"(?i)MK16[ai]", product:"(?i)MK16[ai]_.*",
device:"(?i)MK16[ai]"}]}
Where's the .apk? Would love to try this out on my Flyer.
Just occurred to me- Nexus S 4G isn't working. Nexus S GSM unlocked is.
Maybe the reason for these specific devices is Skype still has some kind of contract with Verizon for Droid video calling?
I recall Skype video on the Thunderbolt being an exclusive Android offering which VZ apparently paid for. Maybe Skype is allowed to offer Android for other non-US carrier affiliated devices? As far as I know, none of the phones offered are available through a national carrier here, and all have a front facing camera and the latest Gingerbread OS. Maybe I found the pattern?
Anyway, that being said, unlike the thunderbolt version which was heavily tied to that hardware, I bet we can crack this baby open to work on other Ginger devices at least!

From what I recall, Gtablet and CM7 don't work together nicely on the camera side of things.
Maybe try Vegan GE? I don't have it installed now to check.
That was with cm7 not cm7.1 rc the camera issues were resolved.
BTW I have the same error as the atrix guy
Maybe you could try the older build, but chances are it won't work too.

[Campaign] ICS-compatible OpenMAX IL compiled for ARMv6 from Qualcomm

Hello. I've just started a new campaign for Qualcomm. Please, support it by signing
http://www.groubal.com/ics-compatible-openmax-il-compiled-for-armv6-from-qualcomm/
As you might know there are millions of ARMv6-based devices in the world, and many developers are trying to prolong their life porting latest Android Ice Cream Sandwich to them.
Last time we asked you to release Adreno 2xx driver updates for ARMv6-based chipsets MSM7225 and MSM7227. And Qualcomm has released the update which is really greatly appriciated. (http://www.groubal.com/ics-drivers-compiled-for-armv6-from-qualcomm-update-drivers-released/)
But now we stuck at another point and we couldn't proceed any farther without the help of this great company.
I'm talking about OpenMAX Integration Layer update (core & codecs) for our devices. It is used for hardware-accelerated video recording and playback, image capturing, camera controls etc. Now we are able to use only software "acceleration" for that, which makes device almost useless for many things. It was present in Gingerbread, but it has lower API version, so we can't just use it in Ice Cream Sandwich.
Without help of Qualcomm it's nearly impossible to overcome, because our devices uses QDSP5 digital signal processor, which has no publicaly available specs to port OpenMAX by hand.
Qualcomm has also released updated version of the chipset named MSM7227a which has pretty same hardware (QDSP5 too), but ARMv7 core. Devices with MSM7227a are able to run ICS out of box!
These devices are affected by the problem (according to Wikipedia):
LG Optimus Me, Samsung Galaxy Fit, Samsung Galaxy Mini, Samsung Galaxy 551, LG Optimus Chic, ZTE Blade, HTC Legend, Mytouch 3G Slide, HTC Gratia, LG Optimus One P500 GSM, ViewSonic ViewPad 7, Samsung Galaxy Europa, Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (SE Shakira), HTC Aria, Palm Pixi GSM, OlivePad VT-100, HTC Wildfire S, Alcatel OT-990, Micromax A70, LG Optimus chat L-04C, Huawei Pocket WiFi S II S41HW, Huawei Ideos X3, Huawei Sonic U8650, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, Garmin & Asus M10, WellCom A88, Coolpad W706, Garmin & Asus A10, Samsung Galaxy Gio, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Odys Space, LG Optimus Net, LG Optimus Hub, ZTE Skate, HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, Huawei smart bar S42HW, Coolpad 7260, ZTE Blade S
Most of them already have a working port of ICS, CM9, AOSP, AOKP etc. Almost everything is working except multimedia hardware acceleration!
So, please Qualcomm, hear our voice again!
Please sign the petition if you have a device that meets one or more of the following:
1. uses ARMv6
2. has an unofficial ICS port (CM9, AOKP, MIUIv4, etc.)
3. does not have an ICS port due to the lack of these drivers
If you have anything you would like to say, please add a comment along with your signature.
Also, please spread the word about this Groubal (in forums, social networking sites, etc.). For example, if you are using some kind of ICS port, you can post in the thread of your rom. Or if there is a Facebook page for your phone, you can post there too.
Please do not sign the petition more than once or spam the petition. It ruins its credibility, not to mention that you are probably lowering the chance that our voice will be heard. If you really want to support this petition, then don’t spam.
Other than signing the petition below, please voice your opinion in the following links:
