Skype available!!!

[ggrr8t]

To allow unknown sources go to menu /settings/applications/ then allow unknown sources

Someone please help me, I'm rooted, stock rom, can't get this apk file to install at all, even after using all the app installers I could find from market. What am I doing wrong?

Yes and if you look at THIS POST apparently it isn't just this leaked version it is same for the actual version.

I read that post about Skype earlier and quickly uninstalled it

 

[prakash99]

I will continue to use it...... In this world, we are all vulnerable if we are specifically targeted.

Still having the problem with installing. I tried the first mirrored version too. I downloaded from the Dolphin browser since I'm reading that alot of people have had success with it. Once downloaded, I'm getting one of these two error messages on every try. "Problem Parsing Package" and "Application Not Installed". I am using app installer too from market. Iv'e even tried using my Mac. Iv'e got to be doing something wrong. Can someone post step by step how to install or post a youtube video?

had the same problem with "parsing" or whatever.
then i edited the name of the download from ".com.skype.apk" to "skype.apk"
did this when DolphinBrowserHD asked me to confirm the download & showed me the file name.

after that, it installed with no problem.

Skype has fixed the vulnerability issue so does that mean this skypke.apk is also fixed?

 

[project.in.process]

no, only the market version (sans video calling)

Apparently not...

And before anyone asks, we?ll just cut this one off at the pass. NO, the leaked Skype with video has not been fixed.

Cool. Thanks!

 

[Edwill86]

yeah I got an email from skype saying the issues where fixed for mobile..but since we have a leaked version...we cant even update it

 

[alcoholics02]

Does your phone have to be rooted to get the SKYPE to work in the TB? Mine is still telling me "This version of Skype won't run on your version - you will receive an automatic update when it is available".....

Any ideas?????

So does anyone leave this running? How has it impacted your battery life?

 

[bthomp21]

i would like to know how people got it to work, it will not let me install it.

Impact is minimal. You can always kill it.

When I had it installed, I left it running for one night and it ate my battery like termites on an Oak tree.

Thanks... I have a spare battery and am usually near a charger anyway so I'd prefer to just keep it running.

I'm rooted, no custom ROMs, kernels, etc... tell us a bit about your phone. If you like, I can try emailing you the file I just installed and you can save and install from there.
