My dad has an iPhone and he can call my mom overseas using WiFi. But Android doesn't allow Skype to use WiFi - how bogus is this? So what is Android Skype using? Our minutes? Data package? If it's using an unlimited data package I can use it for free overseas calls right?

How can I use Skype to make a mobile to mobile call and not use my verizon minutes. I have friends that are doing this with the Samsung Omnia II on verizon and everyone I know with an IPhone on att is able to do it. When I try to make a mobile to mobile call a box pops up and says have to use verizon minutes. I also paid for the mobilie to mobile plan on Skype
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this is a rooted issue because it never happened on stock. I have had this problem on Fresh and Baked Snack. Whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to anything that requires mobile data (pandora, streaming radio), it cuts out after about 5 minutes. When I turn the screen on, I can see 3G kick back in and the stream starts again. Is this a known problem with a known solution?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI switched from the iPhone to the EVO 4G and love it but there's one thing I miss. AT&T had a nice app where at the touch of a button you could see your data and minutes usage for the current billing cycle. I found the Sprint Zone app and got logged in but when I went to my account no usage data shows up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe oddest thing keeps happening to me. Every now and then, my data just shuts off. It is gone for about ~15 minutes to an hour, then comes back on.
I recently bought a used Galaxy S4, and when I first bought it this happened about every day, then it stopped for awhile, now it just happened again (about 4-5 days since it last happened) so I figured I would try to find out what's going on.
But what's happening isn't making any sense. I have full bars, I have t-mobile on the top, I can make calls, and my data is turned on. It's just not working. Turining data off and on doesn't work, neither does resetting the phone. The only thing that works is waiting. When my data is on, I almost always have fast 4g data, I don't have any issues with connectivity.
I took a screenshot of my Settings screen (with private data removed) for reference. at first the only time this would happen is when I would leave a Wi-Fi connection. I figured the phone just was taking too long to "realize" i wasn't on wi-fi anymore and mobile data needed to turn back on. However, I turned off wi-fi for the last week or so and have been using mobile data exclusively. That's when it started happening less, it's happened about every 3 days since I turned off my wi-fi and about every 1 day before then.
My mobile data connection turns off after a few minutes when the screen lock comes on. I have checked both "always on mobile data" and "mobile network" on. The data connection will stay on with the screen lock only if I have an IM logged on. I have changed my sim card and have done a factory reset....

I have an HTC Magic and I have a couple of contacts who I frequently talk with on skype. Is there anyway to talk with them skype-to-skype on the Android phone?
The Skype Lite app does not allow calling.
I don't mind either calling using my local minutes OR using my data plan.
Are there any other applications that could assist me with this?
If I change my plans minutes, will I lose my unlimited data package I have on my Droid?

Searched but could not find an app which tells you how many minutes of you plan you have used? I'm on sprint. WM6.1 had such apps for my Mogul but I've switch to an Hero Android device.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to write an app on Android to upload my GPS location to an external website once every 5 minutes. This needs to have as minimal an impact on battery life as possible, but it also needs to work without any user interaction. (Background: I'm competing in an Ironman triathlon which will take me about 14 hours to complete, and want to broadcast my location in near-real-time but without having to worry about fiddling with my phone.) So my initial thought is to write a Service which uses LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime of 5 minutes, but will this actually wake the device up every 5 minutes for my service to do its job?
It sounds like I would also need to use AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating() to make sure my service is awake while it completes its task but how does that play with requestLocationUpdates()? Should I instead set minTime=0 on requestLocationUpdates() but then go back to sleep as soon as the next update is obtained? Any general guidance on how to design this. I'm a competent Java programmer & will be using Google Maps on the server to plot my location, but am pretty new to Android development so I'm basically looking for a high-level plan on how to architect the client app.
Is there a way to convert milliseconds to minutes using java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit?
This answer seems to suggest that you can use a TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() method, and the documentation suggests that you could use the TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert() method with TimeUnit.MINUTES - the problem is that neither TimeUnit.MINUTES or TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() seem to actually exist.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had my EVO for about a week now and i've been trying to figure out the most efficient way to get a good days worth of battery. Nothing I have done has worked so far, maybe I am missing something. I am only getting about an hour and 45 minutes of actual use out of the phone and its on standby for about 8 hours and needs to be charged. Is this normal? I dont think it is...I installed ATK to see if it would help kill apps that I dont need running, but it didnt seem to change much even on aggressive kill setting. I did have it set to kill whenever the screen turned off, but i just changed it to every half hour. would i benefit from rooting to get rid of Sense UI?

After around 30 minutes , the application loses connectivity .. At that point of time if a browser is opened it connects to the internet.. But my app has lost connectivity.If i make explicit requests thru the app by user interaction the connectivity is regained, but automatic disconnection happens many times.. Even if the setting for Wifi always on is set, this this happens. This issue i observed on HTC Magic and Samsung Europa..Does anyone have an idea why this happends.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am able to connect to a Socket on my PC from my HTC 1 phone, via IP and successfully transfer data in a thread that gets rescheduled every few seconds. The problem is that after 15 minutes or so, the connection drops and my debug traces give me the "Network unreachable". A further clue is that if I plug in or replug in the USB cable I get reconnected.
I'm wondering what programmatic function will reconnect to the PC without having to fiddle with the USB cable. I've tried Wifimanger.reconnect and reassociate, neither did the trick. Perhaps if I knew what actions were peformmed when the usb cable is plugged in (which shouldn't have anything to do with my connection) I would be able to program them into my exception path.
