Yes...i get the same.
Selecting contact works but as soon as i want to make a video call it states....Unfortunately, Skype has stopped.
Then i went to Setting / Apps / Skype and gave it all permissions and problem went away.

I tried changing permissions but it is still the same. I haven't tried video calling but its definitely crashing when I am calling

FWIW, no troubles doing Skype video calls for me.

fring on my cingular 8525 with skype

I use skype to call my people, but the reception is not clear and I can hear echos when I call outside U.S. Now, I just downloaded fring (http://www.fring.com/) on my phone and it sounds way much better than using skype itself.
1. The voice does not come out of the speaker.
2. Your contacts are automatically transfered to your fring.
3. If you have skype out, before calling it gives you the choice to select through your regular phone minutes or skype out.
4. I tried calling skype to skype and skype to phone, the signal has improved.
5. You can go mobile with skype, google talk, MSN, and SIP.
Let me know your reviews.
Thanks
I have no problems at all with international calls on Skype. I looked at fring, but since they want me to give them my Skype username and password I won't be trying it out.
metcole : i think you have it to dial GSM... that's why it's coming out from your phone and not speaker. Try turning on Flight mode... it won't call.
my skypeout seems not to work ... Just hangs up everytime I dial.
Fring test call was stuttering and worst than my skype.

Are you using the latest version? If so there's your problem... no voice support. You need to go back and download the previous beta version which supports voice calls on a Hermes.

EDIT... my computer was stuck and now I've posted 3 replies. My apologies...
Vmirage,
I use my skype out, because before you make your phone call it gives you the choice to use either your GSM or skype out. I checked my minutes and they've not been used, but lately it's slowering ans crashing my system, so I removed it. I hope they improve it soon.
Thanks!

3 Skype and froyo timeout

Hi I am having problems running skype on my desire since the android 2.2 update, I can login using the 3 mobile data network and make and recieve skype calls, but after approx. 15-30 minutes I can no longer recieve calls, if I sign in again I can recieve the calls. Its as if it timeouts or changes to some sort of power saving state. Normal phone calls are not affected, there doesn't seem to be a option in skype to change any timout. Can anyone help please.
Thanks
Sid
try this, it might not help you but give it a shot
Thanks for that but its the version I am running, I also did a full factory rest today and still get the same problem.
Thanks

You could try Nimbuzz works great with my Skype account .
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I tried nimbuzz which allows me to call Skype contacts but it does not accept Skype calls from the 3 Skype app.
Just wondering if anyone had a direct email to someone at 3 that may be able to shed some light on this.
Thanks
Ste
call them on 333, they will tell you sh*t like "restart the phone" but try it you might be lucky

[Q] Skype as default dialer

Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.
Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.
Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip
When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.

My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

You're in the evo4g forum no one here has tmo as the evo is a cdma phone not gsm
Same problem here since upgrading to latest Android. Did you find a solution yet?
bzzz
Did you manage to find the solution to this?

[Q] Call recording on The People's ROM

I downloaded MOAR_phone_rec_TEST.zip from the peoples rom thread and installed it. I have auto recording turned on for both incoming and outgoing calls but it only records incoming calls. Has anyone else gotten this to work? BTW I'm running the latest version of The People's ROM.

I also flashed the phone record mod. I PM'd Rompnit about the outgoing calls not automatically recording with the setting checked. For now, you'll have to manually press the record button on the keypad for outgoing calls to record.

Thanks for the update. At least I know I'm not screwing something up.
Does anyone know of a Windows program that will play the .amr files without conversion when saved on a PC? I've found plenty of programs to convert the .amr to .mp3, but none to play the .amr directly. Thanks...

I've tried that one. When you click play, it starts to decode the .amr and then fails.
Edit: I have no idea why I never tried VLC player before. I just discovered that that works perfectly.

voice problem after upgrading to 4.3

I got problems with voice in some applications like skype, viber after updating to 4.3 (569). the phone, magicjack are working well.
both skype and viber work well with messages when connecting to the other party but no voice and no sound on both ends. in google translate app the microphone doesn't work either: "no connection for speech input".
Any idea what is the problem and how to resolve it.
I tried to reinstall the ROM twice - but the same result. On 4.2 it works.:crying:
6506, 4.3 (569)
