Hello Aria users. Anyone having problems with Skype on their Aria? I`m getting constant force closing. Has any of you been able to make one of the modded Skype versions work on the Aria.

Modded Skype for what purpose? Why not just use Skype in the market?

ah. if i had to guess, it's probably looking for a the camera on the front of the phone that is non-existent. of course, this is merely a guess. i couldn't tell you how to fix it. where do you get this modded skype apk?

I attempted to install the modded version for 1 cam phones but always get an "install unsuccessful" message.

Same here on HTC Legend. I just gave up and went back to the Market's version.

Got a link?
Actually I just realized it only works over WiFi, and objects to log in over the GSM network! This must be some ****ty thing in the phone software, as it worked fine with G1 on a custom ROM :/
Concerning the link, just google "Skype 1.0.0.5 apk" or go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750252

Which version of the Skype app are you using?
In curious as well as to which version you're using. The one stateside in the market has messed up audio.. transmitted from the atrix it almost pure static...
Maybe you can upload the .apk you're using?

I just use the hacked Verizon apk so that I can use over 3G, no issues.
I presume this is all about audio-only calls, right?
It seems that developing specific video call apps for the Atrix isn't a priority...

I read Skype bought Qik, so maybe there will a merger of the two programs down the road? (see blogs.skype.com/en/2011/01/qik.html)

Interesting because the market version works but the microphone levels are so distorted that the other side is not able to hear me.
Which version of the two posted in your link are you using? first or second?

The first (for rooted phones). This is a non market version. I dloed from the site and have loaded on via installing from the sd card via es file explorer.
Hacked version also has the same problem of static sound on mine, regardless of noise supression settings

[Q] Gtalk Video image rotation. Any solutions?

I finally have Gtalk video/voice working on two way calls, but the images are rotated. So either I have to look sideways or the person I'm talking to has to turn their head. Anyone out there have any suggestions for a fix?

I don't think there is a solution for this yet.

This is a problem with the app itself. There is no fix at this time.

I can't seem to find the exact link I used, but if you google "lithid gapps 0504" you can get a flashable zip w/ a functional talk1.3 apk. I've been using this on CM7 and the camera orientation is fixed.
Also, I think there's a talk 1.3 installer application that's downloadable from the market. Apparently this fixes things too, but I haven't tried it myself.

I tested this with a friend on his iPhone 4. It worked but it was pretty buggy, half the time the app wouldn't get out of landscape, and it would tell me the other party didn't support video even though it connected properly.
Cant get video chat to work for me.

Viber for Wildfire

I know that Viber is not officially compatable with the Wildfire, but I have installed the apk below and all is fine on my phone running jokerDroiD ROM
I've tried it too. It does work with cm7 based ruymanca rom.
With SUnAaBh.v.1.1 works without problems..
Call quality using this is really unbelievable!
When I first installed Hellfire the viber app force closed all the time so I uninstalled it but this works perfect, thank you!

Mine has sound quality problems. There're echos, delays and interruptions sometimes, though the free sms feature is working well. Are they working on fixing this?

Hey I'm using the only Market I know, I guess everyone has the same?
The latest version 2.0.1 has severe problems with Wildfire and Hero, that's why it's not showing up in the Market of these 2 models. I'm using version 2.0.0

You can now download it for "partially-supported devices"
but as I have already said it is working fine on JokerDroid 4.2
Charlotte90T I am sure you have seen this post from Viber somewhere else on the web
Hi all,
This is a member of the Viber Development Team!
HTC Wildfire and HTC Hero are currently unavailable in Market, and that it is because we encountered severe issues when developing Viber on it.
However, we decided that we will bring it back to Market soon. Meanwhile, you can use this link to manually download the .APK intended for partially-supported devices: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php/K...View/100/16/cant-download-from-android-market

[Q] Google Talk after update

My Google Talk version number is listed as 1.3 and phone OS is 2.3.4, but my talk still has no voice and video. Anyone know what this is about?

I believe 1.3 is the latest.
Is it working for you? if so, are you on stock non rooted.
Have you clicked in your name within the app and then check marked allow voice and video? Yes, 1.3 is the newest one.

It is where you change your status. Directly under the status box. After clicking on your own name.

I'm aware. But none of the instructions work. Followed similar procedure to when on 2.3.3 but without the libs since they should be in 2.3.4... No dice. Even tried with libs. No worky

I don't understand why HTC and Motorola (photon 4g running 2.3.4) have the latest updates ( 2.3.5 is more for the nexus s 4G ) and video talk doesn't work out of the box, there is not point of changing the number if everything doesn't work as aosp gingerbread
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I have the latest GTalk according to the version number. It's the old version though, I know about clicking on my name and selecting voice and video. There is no option there. I had the 1.3 on before the update and it worked great, now after the update the app is back to how it originally was but with a different version number. It's not with video at all. Flashing didn't work before when I tried it on 2.3.3

Try flashing a rom with it already built in. every rom i have tried has the newest gtalk already installed
Im on wtsb now and i have gtalk with video and it runs great. also have skype running as well. Im a happy camper just flash a custom rom if you root..
Working Video
I downloaded the file from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062980
extracted the Talk2.apk and pushed it to apps from recovery in ADB. I didn't remove anything (which seems odd), but I now have working video in Talk.
Edit:
I tried a video call and it failed. I had to follow my own instructions from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16192477&postcount=29
Yeah I took the Talk2.apk from ViperROM & renamed it Talk.apk. I used root explorer to move it & fixed the permissions.
