Skype with Video

How soon do you think it will be before Skype with Video gets ported over to the EVO? The Nexus S guys already got it...

I want this too...

I think its as easy as tricking the system into beliving we have a nexus s just as it was for others when the netflix released for only certain htc devices.
If we could just get the nexus s build.prop and change our device name to what theres is i think it would work. anyone have a friend with a rooted nexus s and rootexplorer installed to check it out and post the device name ???

I'm no expert but I do not think it is that easy. If it was it would have been done back when the one for the thunderbolt came out. There is already a thread for it HERE (not Evo specific). If you look at the last page or 2 it is referencing the one that was just released.

Looks like someone confirmed this works on the evo. I did try making a call myself but the other person didn't answer so I cannot confirm it works 100% but it appeared to work fine.

This is working on my EVO. Someone posted a patched APK. I think in the Nexus S forums. Anyhow, works on EVO Shift, S, S2 etc.
I never made an actual video chat but the window loaded up and video was showing via the front cam.
Try it out...

I tried this but the other person couldnt see my video. I could see ny video on my screen but when they enabled their video, mine went black and they couldn't see me.

Can someone please upload the apk? I can't download that rar from my zoom. Thanks.

I can comfirm this patched apk works with video !! I have been waiting for this a long time !!

in the android market, download a file manager and then extract it to a folder on your android phone... and then the apk will show up and hen install it.
sorry this is a reply to qpstatus

skype2_0_45.rar worked for me. One thing though is that until I updated my Mac client to the dreaded 5.1 (user interface fail) from 2.8, video was not working -- when the call started, the video button on the Mac side would actually get grayed out. 5.1 works just fine. Makes me wonder what version is required on the Windows side to be compatible with the Android client.

That doesn't help. The issue is that when I try to download attachments via XDA from my stock browser on my Xoom or Evo it won't download successfully. The download gets to 100% and says unsuccessful.
For some strange reason it does let me down .apk's successfully.

Force close on Evo 4G.. "The application Skype (process com.skype.raider) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Boo :/
*edit, I just read that video chat only works on 2.3(?).. sorry, but I'm not changing ROMS just to use Skype*

Having issues with video calling - my front camera is not picking up any video. Tried lowering the quality and connecting 4G,Wif,3G all with no success - it's just a black screen on my end - and the spinning circle on the far end.
Anyone have any suggestions?

empty zip?
I seem to be haveing the same problem as gqstatus0685. The zip seems to be empty cannot extract anything from it... running latest stock odexed sense rom likely user error will keep working on it. let me know if anyone has any solutions..

Here's a link to the direct .apk -- just download and install.
http://rootmydroid.evoboxes.net/pulser/VillainROM/SGS2/skype_2_0_0_45-signed.apk

I can confirm this works 100% on my EVO running Kings 7.3 ROM. I have tried from EVO to EVO and EVO to PC.

How do I install this after downloading...sorry I've never installed a patched apk before. Please explain. Thanks.

Just navigate to the file with Astro or File Manager and click on it. Make sure you have "Allow install from unknown sources" checked (Settings >> Applications >>). Should install after a double click.

I wonder if Cyanogen is causing my error?
EDIT: Flashed King's 7.3 - works great... Gonna try a few other ROMs to see what happens. At the moment Cyanogenmod's 7 - "update-cm-7.0.3.1-Supersonic" does not allow my video to go through. Will update with further testing.

Market update to Google Play

I need help guys. At first im on cm9 3.4 + air kernel. And my android market successfully updated to Google Play. And because i am trying out other good rom+kernel combos, i have reflashed my phone and now it is on fresh clean cm9 + matrix kernel. But suddenly my market wont update to Google play. Ive tried to clear data of market but still no luck. I even downloaded the apk of Google play but it says "application not installed". Is there any fix for it??

Play Store - Error Code 942

Hey all!
So I have a Sensation 4G, and before i was rooted, i had an app called Cell Biology Study Guide (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilereference.cellbiology&hl=en)
I'm taking biology in University and this app was a life saver. When i got rooted, this app was incompatible with my phone... So later on, today, i downloaded LCD Density Modder Pro, which had a new market apk and whatnot.
I was able to go to the link of the app and click download, but it would give me the error code instead.
Any fix? Is there an alternate way to get the app? I would REALLY appreciate it. This app is a simplified, detailed textbook on your phone, i could really use it
Using Ordroid
Thanks!

Try clearing data from download manager (settings-apps-all) and play store, then remove your google account, then go to play store and it will ask you to link your account after that try downloading the app. (That worked for me).

Well it did give me access to some other apps i could not see before haha, but not the one i specifically wanted. Thanks for your help, however!

Hi I'm using Ordroid 8.6.5, just download a couple days ago. Well I noticed what happened at the playstore was for some reason it ERASED my google wallet! This giving me the error when purchasing applications! So it was a easy fix. I went to google wallet you can access your wallet in a drop down menu at check out, and I Re entered my card information. This did the trick, no more error during download! Not sure if it's your error also but I did some searching and I think the code does have something to do with billing. I can't figure out why my information was ERASED but I only know it WAS! Maybe this will help you too ? Check you're google wallet and see if your info is still available. This could be what's happening to you also. Is worth a try . Good luck!

GAPPS Version
According to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750759 you may be using an incorrect version of GAPPS.
The aforementioned post links to GAPPS downloads but also check your ROM's thread and it may have a custom modified version as well.
I was plagued with 942's and inability to install APKs [that worked before] until I finally found that post.

worked for me too thanks.

This solution didn't work for me. Error 942 still remains in my Google Play Store.. :/

This is an old post...
What's your ROM?? Using sense or not using???

My situation may be a little bit diff cause I was spoofing the market to download a certain app... first I tried the instructions above with no luck. Finally, what I did was cleared Play Store data one more time and uninstalled updates to go back to an older version of Play. Worked like a charm. Then just go back and update your Play.

[Help] Can not install apps on the Play store.

Hi everyone, my setup as the signature below. This is the first time I got this kind of error.
I can choose an app to download, then it will be downloaded like normal. However when it reached 100%, it stucked at that forever but did not do the installing step.
I tried to clear the market cache, data and even remove the google account then readd. But it still did not work.
Could someone please guide me on this. Thanks very much!
EDIT 1: today I cannot download any apps. It got stuck at the very first step. I did not download any more?!
EDIT 2: I just switched to mobile network and I could download any apps that I want. After that, I connected to wifi network to see whether the issue was solved or not. Unfortunately, I still could not download any apps through wifi
EDIT 3: The last observation from this issue. I use my laptop as a hotspot and so my phone can download any apps normally in the Play store.
To sum up, this bug only occurs with the direct wireless network connection.

Try and unsync your gmail account and then resync. Do you have enough room for the app to be installed? Make sure you have enough room.

Thanks mate. I already cleared cache, data of the play store, then I removed the google account and readded it. I rebooted the phone, but the issue was still there.
P/s: what the weird error! I just switched to mobile network and it worked. So....?

Do you have enough room on the device for the application to be installed? What is your free memory? How much left? This could be causing the issue? Perhaps.

is the viper rom zip md5 matched when you flashed it ?

try installing another play store app
like this (install it from the sdcard)

Were you trying to download the app over wifi? I have also had that problem over wifi but it comes and goes and i haven't had it in quite a while. Glad it works over mobile network. Try it again over wifi later and it may work.

[Q] Can't connect to Google services [WiFi icon is gray] and can't add Google account

Hello everyone,
I've searched like every post/thread on Xda-developers and other Android forums, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem. First of all the WiFi icon is grayed out. Solutions to this were: adding/removing Google accounts, resetting/restarting router, restarting phone, factory data reset. I tried EVERYTHING, but it wouldn't work. The second thing is, I can't add Google account after removing it. Solutions were: logging in via YouTube, cleaning data of: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework and Downloadmanager app. Resetted phone for the second time. But nothing works. I'm able to browse the internet and receive WhatsApp messages. The only that doesn't work are the Google apps. I hope someone with knowledge of this can help me, because i'm getting really frustrated and nothing helps.
Thanks in advance
