FROYO & SKYPE on 3 Mobile

[itbloke]

Hi all,

Have just upgraded my Nexus One manually to Android 2.2 Froyo from Android 2.1 Éclair, Now I had previously downloaded the 3 Mobile Skype program file from here, it was called: skype_0.10.0.4_hutch_live, now on Android, 2.1 Éclair this installed and worked brilliantly, however after upgrading to Android 2.2 Froyo yesterday and reinstalling the 3 Skype program onto it, (which reinstalled perfectly), it refuses to log back in giving the message:

The Application Skype on 3
(process com.skype.android.threeUK)
has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

it then forces me to close the application. I am very reliant on Skype as I have lots of Clients abroad and until this point I Skype on ~ Three Mobile has never had a probem and always worked perectly, however it now appears that it has conflict with Froyo, as other people on the internet are now experiencing the same problem, unless of course one of you chaps knows otherwise, (and I pray to god you do).

Anyway I hope that someone out there can help and resolve this issue without me having to write to the Gods on high at 3 Mobile asking them to fix it.

Kind Regards & Best Wishes ~ Ashe Medforth

Hey all,

Just a little update to where I am now, have just downloaded the latest Version of the software from XDA Developers, which is: 3UKSkype_0.10.0.12_hutch_live.apk, which was modified on quite recently on the 4th of July 2010, but obviously no enough to function on Froyo, as I still get the same error message:

The Application Skype on 3
(process com.skype.android.threeUK)
has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have checked the error messages log from the DDMS and this is what they read if it helps anyone to solve this problem:

I know this is just a signing issue and would take very little modification to make it function, just need to tell the software that it is allowed and OK to function on Android 2.2 Froyo, I know there are lots of other people with the same issue, please is there anyone out there who can help, I really love this Three Funtion, and it really completes my Nexus One package.

Kind Regards Ashe.
