Hey all,

Been palying around with my new SF, tried the new skype app and it refuses to use the internal speaker, only speakerphone, jsut wondering if this is just my phone or if others have experienced this. I have pressed the speakerphone/internal speaker button numerous times (bottom left) and it jsut always comes out the loud speaker. Normal phone calls work fine and also it will output to the handsfree headphones. odd. Hoping its just a bug on skypes part.

also sad i cant find angry birds in the android market.

JT.

Just added a comment to your skype thread. Hopefully if enough people moan they will fix it.

Alternative is to use the Skype for 3 app instead

Is that generally usable, or strictly limited to use on 3 ?

Sorry wasn't thinking, I'm on 3 so was the obvious choice. It will no doubt be preset for 3 settings which i'm sure will not be changable.

Gosh, that's too bad. This is almost a dealbreaker for me. I'm currently deciding on whether to buy one.

any idea if those can be changed or tweaked ?

Yup , I am facing the same issue here. Leaving a comment on the forum....

Also it doesn't use SF's proximity sensor, so your ear will trigger all kinds of activities on the touchscreen...

Hope the future versions fix these basic things.

No nothing can be changed from the 'skype for 3' settings menus :) maybe someone who can delve deeper into the code or config files of applications might be able to adapt it?

Same problem - left message on Skype Forum - hope many people from here that use Skype can add a comment too.

Download the Angry Birds Lite 'Beta' from HERE and install from the SD card :)

Cheers for the angry birds link... seems massively laggy at times on my stock SF. sad times.

Anywho, noticed a thread on the Skype Community board stating it wasnt the place to get skype to pay any attention (http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showannouncement=361&f=303) So did what that chief said, had a reply from skype asking for further details on android version etc. Hopefully something useful will come of it, will keep you posted on the reply i get.

I picked every file from skype on the SF, and i found no setting regarding the speaker.. I'm afraid we have to wait for an official update.

I read somewhere where a guy to fix it by setting the phone by forcing the sound through earspeaker. It was something with the service code that you enter .... maybe someone knows ...

this?

ok, I'm answering my own questions.... I found the solution, and no need for any software!

Just dial *#0002*28346#, you'll enter the engineering mode. Choose in menu to SetForce audio path to "Voice Receiver", thereafter all speaker sounds goes to the earpiece. When you're done, go back to the menu and release the force audio mode and all sounds go back to speakers.

Working wonderfully for Skype! No longer a need for me to put on the headphone whenever I Skype with the i8000! I can just talk like in a normal phone call!

I downloaded the Skype app from Marketplace, decompiled it, found the bug, and patched it using smali/baksmali. It seems to work now.

More info on the problem can be found here.

the solution was to add a single line:

_manager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);

Please keep in mind that this is a quick hack and is completely untested. I'm not sure about how legal it is to offer up a patched version of Skype, so I'll just notify Skype of the problem and the solution.

Thank's, this will help a lot, I will try this with an app I want to use and if it works will mail the developer. I bet it will work :P

Ok, so I uploaded the patched version here. Have fun.

Is there any way to apply this solution to Nimbuzz?
