Anyone got Skype working on rooted Nook Tablet?
I think this is the major differentiation over the KF due to presence of microphone and one of the guys who owns a rooted table should try this out, so that others can decide

Try theos0o modified Skype apk

I use his Skype apk with a Motorola H700 bluetooth headset.
Works for me
It seems to be working fine for me.
Have only done one voice call tho. Chat is fine. Not sure which apk - i just google for one and installed it. I dont have the full market installed yet - been ableto find apk's for apps I use.

Does Skype recognize an internal microphone?
I've heard there is a problem:
"I had no problem installing the Skype app or logging into my account. But the app wouldn’t recognize the NOOK Tablet’s Microphone, which means it’s impossible to make voice calls. You can only use Skype as an instant messenger app on the NOOK Tablet."

I've got the latest Skype running but it has issues. It can send IM's without issue but voice phonecalls are buggy. When making an outgoing call to someone on a contact list the call is established but then drops immediately, and then an incoming call from the person you rang suddenly appears even though they didn't call you. For a while I had it answer a call and apparently seem to maintain it but on the Nook I couldn't hear the remote party - Skype seemed to be confused with the nofification volume and the media volume. When the notification volume was all the way down it muted the incoming sound completely. When the notification volume was up, that's when I couldn't get it to maintain a call. Very weird. Not really usable.
That was my experience anyway, would be interested in seeing what other people find with various versions.
Can you check which version of skype you are using so I can try it. The latest doesn't seem to recognize the microphone.

OK, so I thought I'd try this again and its a no go?! I had tested it initially with my wife's computer and she answered the call etc. Now it also drops calls as soon as picked up. My version is a "raider" version for this forum somewhere and not the lastest but a link for ppl having issues. Non the less, it's not working now
Which apk?
The android market says it is incompatible. I got an apk on the net, but it insisted on a mobile phone number.
It looks good, signs in and calls out but drops the call after about two rings. Does Skype need gps? I was thinking that if we could get a gps spoof running that might do it.
I was calling a landline which I had control of and it even rang so I'm close. I can tether to the gps on my phone but that defeats the purpose. I suppose I could do that to see if it's what skype wants.

Wasn't sure I had it still - I have "com.skype.raider2-1.2.apk" in my downloads.
I've reinstalled it and it is acting the same as what i had installed.
Sorry I didn't keep more detail, but because it seemed to work, I didn't think much of it. I imagine now that I've done lots of other downloads, mods etc, something must of messed it up.
The most major one since then would have be the multi keyboard stuff. Either that or it was just a fluke that it worked. My wife is my participating witness tho

OK, a little more digging reveals two files. The raider2 one mentioned above and one named "Skype_2.0.0.47_v06.apk".
I tried to attach them but they are both over 9megs and the limit is 8M.
Having a gps signal didn't help. My theory was that Skype needed a location so that it billed properly.
Currently calls drop after two rings (which make it to the line being called) and advanced settings cause a force close.
It's too bad. being able to make the occasional call would really make this an even better vacation device for out of your home country.

A little bit of progress. The apk from this post rings the other number until connection then drops. Advanced settings still FC.

I, also, tested Skype when I first installed it and it worked fine... ok, quality wasn't all that great, but it worked. Now it hangs up when the other end answers and will not recognize the mike. Very frustrating. I need to make this work.

If you are asking for the Skype version, it's 2.6.501.97. If you need the apk file number.... uh, I'm still pretty new to android and even tho I can build and hack a pc, I'm having trouble naving my NT. I'm still looking for the file and I'll post it when I stumble over it.
Okay, I give up. How do I sent a chat message to someone? I can't find anywhere in Skype that has that option. Whenever I click on a contact, I only have the option to call them.
Anyone have any updates on this?
I was wondering if they figured something out on the CM7 beta testing, but haven't found info related to skype/google calls.

Guys, I know people are having trouble with Skype on Atrix where the microphone sound is distorted and extremely noisy. I have figured that this is not limited to Skype but all VOIP apps! May I know any fix or if Motorola will have the software fix for that?
Please I really need to use Skype everyday because my family are oversea.

No its not working. It's been discussed in Motorola forum but I just want more people to know before buying Attic and see will there be quick fix from this community.
Maybe this will help.. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
It is an "unlocked" version of Skype, I think originally for Verizon. With this unlocked apk you can also place calls on 3G. Others have reported this working on the Atrix. I have it on mine but being new to Skype I have not yet tried it properly. You do not need root but since att blocks non-market apps you will need to "sideload" it. I prefer Android Centrals Sideload Wonder Machine: http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine

Fring updated their app to support the Atrix! The update is not yet on the market, but you can get it by following the links.. Heres the story: http://www.androidcentral.com/fring-updates-video-calling-app-support-moto-atrix-and-dell-streak
Let us know how it works I haven't had time to test it.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem in voip atrix? I tested with SBF Retail in Brazil and to the SBF operator course .... and pick out the same problem occurs. I used to test a wifi 10MB.

Does anyone have Google Voice working, or should we wait for the 3.1 update?
Thanks!!
Google Voice doesn't work. I even tried a modified apk from the Xoom.
I don't recall where I got it from, but there is a version out there that works pretty well. I'm pretty sure got it from another thread on this forum, so try searching and you should find it. It is kinda dated, it doesn't support the push notifications for text messages (so fastest you'll get texts is every 5 minutes), but it works.

I've had no luck finding this version. Does the Gtab need rooted for it to work?
I think this is the file that I have installed right now: htt p:// db . tt / T3Svb4A (sorry, not enough posts to post the full link, just remove the spaces). Let me know if that one doesn't work and I'll do a direct pull from my device. And no root is needed.

Groove IP works on gingerbread, can anyone confirm that it works on the tab/honeycomb?
Fyi groove IP allows for voice calls from a tab using your Google voice number.
I copied the Google Voice APK from my Nexus S to my LE Galaxy Tab 10.1, and it installed and ran without any of the configuration file trickery described in other posts. Neither device is rooted.

That will always be true for any WiFi device. The official Google Voice app is not a SIP client. You need some other SIP client like SipDroid, CSipSimple, SipAgent or GrooveIP.
I got Google Voice working by using Titanium Backup. I used the backup files from my SGS4G. It Took a while for the batch operation to finish but it worked! No calls for the time being though. Texting is great though!

Here's the latest version from my Infuse. Supposed to be easier on your battery.

yes u can make and receive calls. all you need is Groove IP which is a paid app worth all the money. install the app, follow the setup, and start making and receiving phone calls with your google voice number. no root needed!!! yes u need to b on wifi
I noticed if you text on a wifi only device with google voice you dont get the text instantly, you have to wait for google voice app to refresh which its lowest setting is 5 minutes.
Is there anyway to get texting instantly?

You may need to go into the settings and enable video calling. Once you do that you should see the option to make video calls.

lol ya. for the life of me i cant understand why this would even be an option to disable?? and you would think it would at least be on by default and you can disable it if you want? i just switched from the iphone4 after a very disappointing announcement yesterday to the galaxy s II and i'm realizing that with android there is almost always a few more hoops to jump through to do the same thing. i'm gonna give it at least a solid week before making any judgements though
I believe the issue is that the AT&T version has a different model number and hasn't been properly enabled in the Skype app. Normally, on any device I have tried using the enable option in settings, it still doesn't use the front camera. However, on the AT&T SGS II, enabling this option allows the front camera to work.
I am sure once the Skype app officially supports the AT&T SGS II model, this option change will be unnecessary.
Yeah, tested it out this morning and I can't see to get my Front Facing Camera to work.
I can see my wife who is using her iPhone 4 but she can't see me. Hopefully Skype will update soon.

Question about a video call with Skype and sgs2: if you move your hands, do they blur? I'm wondering about using this setup for sign language. Thank you.
All -
Not sure if this is the right thread, seemed to be the closest I could find. I got Skype and video calling to work, but I've noticed that when in a call, none of the buttons (mute, keypad, etc.) work. I often use skype when on conference calls to avoid the drain on minutes. I'm running 2.3.5 on an ATT skyrocket. Wondering if anyone else has that issue or knows of a work around?
thanks!

I cannot get video to work on Skype on my S3. Video is enabled in Skype Settings but still no joy. Has anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it? I can't find any thread about this. This is a deal breaker for me. If Skype doesn't work I will reluctantly return the S3 during my 14-day trial period.
Thanks
Works fine here. Just tested video calling 3G and WiFi with no problems.
Finger trouble or firmware version?
Skype v2.8.0.920
Edit:
The other party (Recipient) must also have video enabled.
You could also lower the video quality and test.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
works fine here as well.
Thanks for the replies. Still a mystery. I have the latest firmware and the other party definitely has video enabled. I switched to other devices and it worked fine. The front camera does work but there's no option to select when I make a Skype call (over WiFi). If the other party calls me I can see the options but it still doesn't work and returns to a black screen. Lower-res test done as well but no luck.
I just can't see what's preventing a video call. I can do this quite successfully from my tablet, old phone and desktop but not the S3. I have uninstalled and downloaded the software again but it still doesn't work. Grrrrr!
Try a video call on Gtalk to test. Obviously check video is enabled in its settings for both parties.
If working, try wipe data/cache in settings/applications/downloaded or all/Skype. You well need to setup Skype settings, login etc again.
If still no good, reinstall Skype
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I did clear the cache. And one other thing: I can't close Skype. I have to use a Force Stop to quit the application. I've tried this several times and it always remains running unlike any other program I close (eg, swiping to the left from the running programs list). It doesn't show up in the task manager as a running program but the icon is still there on the top left of the phone. I wonder if some other process/application is interfering with it.
It's reassuring that Skype is working for others. I'm on O2 - could they have set up something to prevent Skype working? That's not my experience with other phones from O2 and I doubt that is the problem.
So did you try Gtalk (to confirm the problem is just with the Skype app) and also reinstall fresh from Google Play?..........

I've got what seems to be a fairly simple problem with Skype, so I thought I'd post here because Skype users are likely to read it ! :
Outgoing voice-only calls seem to work OK, but when I answer an incoming call, the GS3 screen goes completely black (regardless as to whether the phone was by my face or not).
I tried pressing buttons etc, didn't seem to be able to get it back until the caller hung up.
On a plus note, the call quality was great, but I really do need to be able to hang up the call!
Am I missing something obvious?
According to my tests, Skype video works when I'm connected to WiFi but I was never able to do the same under 3G.
I'm on a high bandwidth connection..but the person on the other side keeps saying that the video quality is ****ty. I have the Video Qualty setting on 'High'. The recieving quality is just great. Its only the video sent from my end. Is it the same for everyone? or just me?

I tried to use Skype last night and I wasn't able to make a video call. The camera button was there, but it had a red line through it and wouldn't let me select it. This was my first try with Skype so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I had "enable video calls" selected in the settings. Is this an issue with it not supporting out displays....like it is with several other apps?

There is a modded version of Skype in the XDA Apps and Games section (I am mobile so I can't paste the link). It's the latest version of Skype but the dev has modded it to force enable video calling and a bunch of other excellent features. I am using it on my x920e and have used if for video calling. I've only used it over Wifi but it's supposed to work with 3G as well. Try it out and see if it works. If it doesn't then perhaps VZW has done something to block it.
Skype video works
On my DNA, the video works fine... got a video call from my buddy in Budapest. I was on 4G, no issues.

Are you running a ROM or are you stock? I was on CODIS when I was trying to get it working. I have since switched to rooted stock and deleted a bunch of stuff on my own. I haven't given it a try on this yet. If it doens't work, I'll try out the XDA one that was mentioned above.

Try it out and see if it works. If it doesn't then perhaps VZW has done something to block it.

Are you stock or rooted? Yesterday I took another Skype video call from Austria, worked fine on my stock device. I was able to take screen shots too while on the video call. It was 30 minutes long and the DNA did suck up some battery and it got warm, but no problems.
Rooted stock here with qubed stock kernel. Skyoe working fine for me
