Is there a mod out there that allows Skype over WiFi?
just announced and released, a new version of Skype that CAN use wifi, something everyone was clamoring for. I have not loaded up yet, but might try later today and see how wifi works. it is getting okay Comments, but not great. Huge 14mb - which for rooted people is okay as we can force it to the SD card as it is not native SD card app though. No video ability. apparently sign-out or logging off is a bit tricky and hidden.

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?
What program works best in your opinion. I need to use Skype with WiFi and used to use fring. Sadly no longer a option.
So I now need another app.
I'm doing a bit of international travel next week. Just got off the phone with VZW. The woman on the other end of the line told me that, even when internationally roaming, calls are free. Not free except for data. As in you don't get charged. Even over 3G (since it doesn't work over WiFi). I don't think that she was right. Can anyone confirm this? I would have much less trouble believing this if Skype were enabled with WiFi.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSorry if this should be somewhere else, but I'm have an X with the leaked 2.2 on it. I've heard about the Skype Mobile update but it's not showing up in my downloads. Wasn't sure if it's a delay or an issue in the fact that I have the leaked 2.2 version on my phone. I can't find it in the Market and I can't find a barcode to compare it to either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhenever I use Skype Mobile it seems to reset my Home button (as if I had gone to the application manager and reset to defaults) so I have to keep selecting Helix Launcher every single time after using Skype.
Obviously I check the "Use by default for this action" box each time.
Only Skype Mobile seems to do this. I have also tried powering off and back on.
Both listed under applications->running services as always running. I don't need/use either so how do I get rid of them?

View 10 Replies View RelatedSo I saw that Droid commercial showcasing some popular apps and noticed a skype app. I've searched for it many times before and just though that there was no skype app on the android market, but apparently there is. Whenever I search for it I can't get it to come up though. Anybody having this problem or know of a fix?! I did the manual install of 2.1 a few months back btw, in case that makes a difference.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have to build a feature in my application which allows user to send a skype message.
For this I have installed skype lite client for Android (although offically the download has been currently withdrawn from Skype).
Now how to initiate the activity from my application OR simply send the chat message without bringing it front, assuming I have skype installed in Android & also signed in already.
I tried to make calls using skype light (beta) however... it rings to an unsual number and tells me that I dont have long distance or international service... (im dialing a US number)... is there something else I can use.. I dont use google voice because i have an account with skype and most friends of mine do to... are they any work arounds for this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedPlease list to me the benfeits of switching my WiFi on to pick up my wireless network as oppossed to just leaving in the defautl 3G mode. This would be very helpful for me. Specifically I am a bit fuzzy on a couple items:
Does it make the internet faster when wiFi is enabled?
Is it using MORE or less battery power to be left in WiFi connectivity mode? (maybe it uses less battery when surfing the net, but if Im not surfing the net wifi should be off so that both 3G and Wifi are not both draining?)
Is there a way to set my phone to automatically connect to certain WiFi networks when the phone recognizes they are available? (i.e., my home wireless network as oppossed to just getting alerts on EVERY available network?)
I'm trying to upload a video to youtube via wifi. I have wifi turned on and connected to a router but the phone saying it still waiting for wifi. My question is do I have to turn off 3G for it to recognize the wifi? How do I know if I'm using wifi instead of 3G?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was told that 3G consume more energy than wifi;so I should use wifi whenever it's available.Is that true?
Now,when the phone is idle (and both 3G & wifi are on),which one will it use?It seems 3G to me b/c when I wake it from sleep, it seems to look for wifi again.So,does that mean I should turn wifi off during idle?Just trying to find a way to juice more out of the X!
When connected to wifi if I put my hand over the top of my phone like the ear piece I loose about 2 of the 3 bars then it just looses signal whats worse is I can do it on command.is this a defective phone or does anyone else have this problem?
