Hey Guys,
I was just wondering.
Now that Fring and Skype had their falling out and fring removed the ability to make skype calls, is there anyway around it?
I mean Fring/Skype was one of the main reasons why I went Evo instead of iPhone4.
I know they have facetime but thats only on Wifi with other facetimers. For a while there I was in heaven being able to chat with all my skype friends while on the go...
I know there's a skype lite beta in the wild that kind of helps a little but doesn't Verizon Androids have skype?
Do they have the ability to do front facing cam chat?
And if so, can't it be ported to other non verizon phones???
(I know, I'm full of questions. What can I do, I'm a noob at this )
+1, is there an old version of Fring out there with Skype support still in it, a non-Verizon-locked version of Skype, or a hack that can be used? Not having Skype is a bit of a killer for me.
Man and I was wanted to try out Skype!
big bump, any solutions?
Not yet. Maybe once there is a way root 2.2.

I believe they disabled skype support on their server so you can't just get an old version. It most likely won't let you connect to your skype account, given that people were having problems connecting before the skype-less version was released..
I know there is a skype beta app floating around the apps and themes section but it doesn't do video chat.
verizon reserved rights for mobile to skype calls. as far as i know you can only use video chat to other iphones and front facing cameras.
Let say i'm on wifi and have skype, can i use it somehow to call for virtually free other skype contacs?

Yes, thats how Skype works. I have tested this on the Skype Beta App
I tested Skype Beta too, but it actually called up a number for me...
So no free calls yet (for me at least)...
as far as i know there is only skype lite beta available and you can't use voip.
they removed the normal skype app because of some verizon cooperation:

They also removed the Windows mobile version:

sry, i cant post links here :/
ware can i download any verion of skype for android ? i couldnt find any drove me fruit loopy looking ty afics your links are no good they just link to skype who ask you tp put ya phone number in then send you a link to the mobile version of the site that then tells me theres no version of skype for my phone ami missing somthing ? which i already spent hours going round and round in circles with i truly hate skype. because i have credit friends and family on it, personally hope skype burns so people change.
No Skype version available until Skype makes it available. There used to be fring but they are having issues with Skype at the moment and the only people with true Skype for Android are Verizon customers.
Hello companies, there's a whole world other than America available.

as fring has pulled skype integration your best bet is probably nimbuzz, some people swear by it but i never got on with it personally.
i use skype lite as even though it dials a local number i have unltd landline calls on tmo in the uk so it is the same as free for me

sorry but thats skype light, it doesn't use voip, it calls a number
IM+ is going to have Skype support on their next version, currently beta is available (3.0.6), but Skype stays online only 5 minutes (beta limitation only)
So, until next IM+: Fring + Skype Lite + Nimbuzz
I use Fring, you can find it on market. Fring supports msn, icq, skype, +++
i know but can you talk over skype?

Fring does not support Skype anymore...http://www.fring.com frontpage says it all, it's banned

And Skype say they didn't ban Fring. Ho hum :-(
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2010/07/fring.html
In this case, however, there is no truth to Fring’s claims that Skype has blocked it. Fring made the decision to remove Skype functionality on its own.

Has anyone been able to get sipdroid to connect to the Skype network for voip calls?
I'm not really interested in skype chat, I just want the skype to skype calling.
I changed to Nimbuzz.
It offers a constant Skype VOIP connection.
so you can actually talk/phone?
IM+ 3.x has been released, Pro version ($4.95) seem to work well with Skype and MSN, free version is logging out Skype after 5 min inactivity.
I installed the iMochiva video chat application in my phone and a friend's computer. It is using my back camera and not my front facing one and I don't see an option anywhere to switch... does anyone know how to do this?
Also, I read somewhere that Qik has a desktop application. Does this allow us Evo usersto video chat with those on their computers if they install that app?

The other half of my post was related to finding out about the Qik app...
Does it work for any of you on HD Mini? I tried to open Facebook in Opera (even in all versions - mobile, touch and full) and through Facebook app from Marketplace. I can't see any visible button on which I can click to post a place. I am from Czech Rep. so it should work here. Thanks for any hint...
Did you try XDAFacebook? It has that function, but I never tried it.
The MS Facebook App lacks that feature.

It works great..Just the startup picture oversize,everything inside the apps are working perfectly..
I own the lg optimus 2x which isn't an official 3 phone so i can't download the most recent updates for these 2 apps could someone with an sgs2 download them both and post the apk.

What do you mean they are not supporting it no more? I recently had a big argument with them about it because they wouldn't allow it to be downloaded by phones they don't sell even tho it works on all android devices above 2.0, they clearly stated to get a three phone to get free msn and skype calls, to which i told them to shove it right up their ars.
Already have the msn app but its an older version and very slow even on my o2x, and doesn't respond well to being minimized, i cant find anything in the search a million things turn up when i search three skype app or msn.
Skype 4 android
