Haven't read the full changelog but I don't see it benefiting us at this point from the minimal I have seen. It has added video chat which we don't have a front facing camera for so not sure what all devs can do to use this for us thats different from 2.3.3.
Might be the fix I'm looking for! Even if phone has rear cam I do use it for video calls to show where I am, but all 2.3 roms don't let me see incoming video properly :/

Yeah, I know what you mean. This is going to be great for my tablet though. Dual core support and video chat

So Skype released a new update for a lot ore phones, the Thunderbolt is finally included in the video calling list. YAY, right?
Well if you read the description you find this: "On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera."
So you can video chat..but only with the rear camera...what good is that for video chat?!?
I don't understand their justification....on 2.2 I was able to use the leaked/hacked skype apk and the front facing cam worked fine
Exactly! It's total BS.

At least it's a start. Honestly, though, GTalk with video has been great.
where did you see this new release?
on the skype website?
nm found your quote on the market.
I just installed and tested it out w/ my wife vide/audio is working
currently running gbdebloat.
@bliang - does the gtalk video also have the same problem as skype where
you have to put the phone in landscape in order to fix the rotated video?
I get some kind of package error when installing on CM7.

Installed on CM7 but won't let me sign in or create a new account. However it keeps trying to start up with the cloud and sync circle in the notification bar. Even killed it and it just reappeared.
Sent from my Xoom or Thunderbolt, pick one
is that old skype apk that was working on stock still avaible?
Nevermind, i didnt have it enabled in the settings...
It does work in CM7 RC1.4 for me with the front camera.

Front camera works my phone (running CM7), but sound is missing. Anyone else able to confirm this problem?
Well you could always face the back camera to you and stand in front of a mirror/place a mirror in front so you can see the screen

Same...damn, didn't notice it last time I tested.
well this is depressing. i've been waiting to use skype b/c most of the people i want to chat with don't have tango, fring or video gchat on their unrooted phones.

download skype from the market (not the crappy mobile version stuck on the phone). Go to settings and enable it.

maybe your phone is too close to your face.. thats why..
I was wondering through the Bravo forums and noticed they had solved the CM7 video recording issue they where having with a 3rd party app called "Videocam Illusion." Figured it was a long shot, but what do you know... IT WORKS! That's right, I recorded a full video and everything with the app. There is a free and a paid version of the app. I only tried the free. It doesn't appear to be the greatest quality, but it works.
This is confirmed working on MIUI.us and the CM7 build. It will likely work on any rom based on the CM7 kernel where video capture isn't working.
I have no affiliation with ANY of the devs of the app or the ROMs mentioned, and wont be providing any support if it doesn't work for you.
Yeah the preview res us what's causing the cm7 and miui camera to crash, I'm going to look into a fix next week.. great find in the meantime!

thanks a lot!
hey all,
so i use skype pretty often on my computer but i finally decided to start using it on my HOS. when did a test on my HOS it looks fine on my side but on the other persons side they have lines that go up and down and its has like a greenish brown tint going on.....kind like when an old tube tv starts to give out.
so my question is is skype compatible with axiom, ics?
lastest axiom
s4 HOS
stock kernel that came with axiom
note: my front and back camera works fine with video recording and photos.
anyone? 10 char
It is a Skype issue with not supporting our phones. They havent updated their app since 4/21. So it isnt the phone, it is Skype's lack of support. Try Tango.
