Skype

[alex5674]

I am getting an error that says "couldn't connect" on skype.....does this mean even though the app is out there that I still can't skype on my droid

Im getting this error as well. Its strange. I have another druid 2 here that is able to connect without problem. Password is correct. Just says "Couldn't connect to skype."

Any luck on resolving this? Same issue here. Skype works on my wife's DG2 but not on mine. I have been searching for a way to solve this problem with not luck?

I uninstalled skype, turned my off and on, and installed skype for droid through market app and it cleared it all up. So far so good. I hope it works for you.

How do you uninstall it? It looks to be blocked.

You will have to be rooted in order to delete apps that came on your phone.

I had updated the program yesterday. I delete the update and did a battery pull. Now it works. Thanks for the idea!

Anybody know how to uninstall the Skype app from android os? I don't use it at all so I want to get rid of it and when I try to kill it with task manager it just restarts. Any help would be appreciated.

Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage Applications. Select it...Remove. Just guessing that would work, since that's how I uninstall everything.

If it came with your phone, it is impossible. Remove it with root access.

Does the phone need to be rooted to install the skype app with video, as posted in Droid Life forums?

 

[Beardface]

No... I have it and am not rooted.... talked for an hour on video earlier today, so i can verify it works

 

[AthDruid]

Ok. Thanks. IT just took my wife a while to get it downloaded correctly. I think a reboot was needed for her. so we'll see....

With your phone, click this link com.skypevideo.apk and download the apk. When it's done, run the installer and it should work. It works great for me, I've been using it since the first day the TB came out.

Has anyone tried using Skype? I can't get video working...
