Yes, I enable autostart in menu of both programs
Yes, I did factory reset and try again.
Just installed weatherbug and reboot my phone. and it didnt start.

and regular skype startup on galaxy s CDMA(stock(2.1, 2.2) and CM7), xperia ray(GB), galaxy note(GB)
You can try this. Although I use it to keep apps from starting up.. I imagine it will do what you want.
Root-Access *is* required to make changes
i do not want to root my phone at least couple weeks. just replace one phone due to random reboots. need to be sure my hardware OK.
problems not only in this, verizon skype didnt remember login info.
i use both skype, one for video and in canada and another in us for voice only calls, cause verizon skype more stable

Just got my HTC Desire today and everything is working fine apart from the android market. I have 3 problems:
1) I don't have the paid apps tab only top free and just in. I can see paid apps within the just in section, but not top paid apps.
2) When I clock on the install button I get a blank screen with just the background gui showing for at least 10-20 seconds before the confirmation screen that shows what permissions the app needs is finally shown.
3) Apps install correctly however they never get removed from the "currently downloading" list in the Downloads section of the android market.
I got the phone through virgin mobile and I am currently using a t-mobile sim in it. I have tried doing a factory reset which didn't solve the problem.
Anyone had any similar issues?

Please search before posting.
Your problems will be solved by removing t-mobile content lock. It can be done through their website or by calling customer service.
One problem will remain though: so far no one can see copy-protected apps because market is not recognizing our build number. It should be solved soon though.
Hi,
The phone actually came from Virgin Mobile, but for the moment I am using my old T-Mobile sim which used to be in my G1 which didn't have any problems with the market. I seem to remember de-activating the content lock when I used the browser for the first time on my g1.
I just checked on my t-mobile account details and I definitely have the content lock turned off.
I still have the same problem with the market, i.e. I get about 20 seconds of blank screen after clicking install before the permission confirmation details come up.
And after an app is installed it still shows in the download section as installing with the grey progress bar and doesn't disappear unless I go to the settings/Applications and clear the cache in download manager, market and force close the market app.
Anyone have any similar problems? I have done a full factory reset three times, still the same problems.
Liam
I just got mine, its a open one unbranded. I can neither connect to gtalk or download apps, both hang. I have read similar problems for the Droid, but the fixes dont work for me.
Also can you connect the device to the internet via the PC, like windows mobile ?
That's odd. My problems were solved by removing content lock.
Does the same thing happen on WiFi? Did you try to restart the device?
Regarding PC to phone tethering, it's not possible over USB. There are guides on how to do it over WiFi though.
Its the same for me : confirmed that content lock is off.
and still have this problem.
On Tmobile, upgraded from G1, same sim.
I get this on wifi or not.
If I restart the device, the Market Place states its installed correctly (like it should do). But installing another shows the same problem.
I've done a Factory Reset via the menu and that did solve it.
And I've just phoned tmo tech support, and they recommend resetting via fastboot.
I'll give that a go later, and post back the results.
Any other ideas?
Its really weird. Yesterday at a different wifi location it worked fine. But again its not working in work. I assume then the downloads are being blocked by the service provider, or the router.
Thats really crap you cannot connect to the internet via the USB cable like in windows mobile. I cant get my data service working either - so in work I have to work.
ok, I did a clear storage from the fastboot menu, I assumed that what he meant, had no effect.
but figured it out!!!!!!
its my gmail/Google account thats the problem! if I reset the phone and created a new account it works fine. log back in as me, bang. back as previously created new account, fine.
1. is this the same for other people?
2. the people who are having this problem, are you all previous Android users?
3. if so, what phone? me was G1.
I will have to raise a bug with android or google on this.
I now also have to ring back tmo and tell them this info, as I'm guessing by his language he want to take the phone back in.

Beware that while most apps like gmail, calendar, contacts, etc work using port 80 (HTTP), both google talk and android market use different ports.
In my school network I can't connect to gtalk or download from market because they block those ports on the firewall.
I previously had a g1 and think the problems I was having had something to do with my gmail account but it seemed to resolve itself after several factory resets.
I am not convinced that the factory reset was what fixed it, I just think it needed a bit of time to sort itself out.
I wonder if having a new device with the same gmail account causes the issue and it takes a while to recognise the new device. though that doesn't really explain the behaviour I was seeing.

I cannot find a way around this.
My google account shows the slowness and install problems, a test/temp/dummy/other account does not, I do not want to change my email address!
So I have emailed Google, see where that gets me.
Anyone know/think-of any other routes?

I am having problems with the Market on my new Desire. I previously had a G1.
1. When I select Downloads tab, it takes about 10 seconds before the loading text is displayed.
2. When selecting something to install, the 1st info page with the install button is displayed but with no info/text/etc, ie only the install button, again about a 10sec wait and the info shows fine.
3. When selecting install, the security confirm page is displayed but is blank, no text or buttons, another 10secs and its displayed.
4. If I actually go to install an app, it correctly redirects me back to the last market list page. From there if I go to Downloads, after the 10sec wait, it always states "installing", even when its finished, and pushed a notification up.
I can use the app, but the market always states installing. Even hours after. These all queue up and never clear.
Only rebooting the phone clears the installing app, and correctly marks them as installed.
5. Uninstalling app cannot be completed at all. I select uninstall, and it pops up the confirmation box, but then displays a blank page, and after the 10 or so seconds, displays the "Uninstalling application" with progress bar, but never completes. Again only a reboot corrects this.
All this occurs for any app.
I have done many Factory Resets from software, and Clear Storage from Fastboot.
Interestingly, my phone works corrected with a new account, I reset the phone and instead of signing in with my usual account, I created a new one, this worked very fast and correctly. Signing back in with my normal account again showed the same problems.

same problem here, gone from a G1 to HTC desire not tryed to sign up with a new account simply becasue i had the xxxx.xxxgmail mail now for over 18 months and rely on it.
All I know is that the day after I got my Desire, probably about 24 hours after first turning it on (and after 4 factory resets which may have nothing to do with it) I was installing an app, which had the same problems i.e. delayed permissions screen, remaining in the download screen even after being installed succesfully, then a few minutes later I went to install another app and it was fine, no delay, suddenly I had the Top Paid apps tab and apps did not remain in the download section as still downloading. It has been fine ever since.
It seems that all of us who have this problem have had G1s previously so it must be something to do with that.
I experienced this issue with my new desire but not one with older rom. Both from T-Mobile. The funny thing was first day it was running pretty slow, could not view paid apps either but now it is much faster as it should be and paid apps have appeared too. So it's working brilliantly.
i have market problems too... i cant see many market apps, including paid apps which i bought..
it's a free desire with vodafone spain sim.

That's a different issue, apparently Google have not yet added the HTC Desires "fingerprint" to some kind of database that enables access to apps with copy protection, this is why some apps you have previously purchased won't show up.
Apparently this happens with all new handsets, though why Google don't get this resolved before the phones release I don't know, as it doesn't give a great experience to the end user (HTC say they sent the fingerprint well before the phone was released but google haven't processed it yet).
Hopefully this should be resolved soon. Until then I have had to extract a few of my more regularly used protected apps from my G1 with root.
But it happens to me with free apps too.

Any application developer can choose to use copy protection, some free apps choose to do that.
Hi all,
Just got a Galaxy S II X from Telus to replace my charging disabled X10a. I've got most things moved over, but I have some questions:
1. on the x10a, I was able to do voicedial over bluetooth, using the google dialer app, without a data connection (I have no data plan). Is this possible on the S II X, and how?
2. Loving the hi rez video, but noticing problems with focusing (no focus spot, nor option for infinity, etc.) and with shake reduction (inferior enough to x10a that I'm not sure its working) Are there fixes for this?
Still messing with stuff so I'm sure I'll find more.
Thanks!
Statik
you can turn on the auto focus and anti shake feature in the camera / record app settings
voice dialing, it can use either google voice dial or vlingo, but AFAIK both uses internet connection, they will probably still run even without the internet
just try it and find out
there's always an app for that in the market if those 2 can't do it off line
I've turned both on. I can see the focus trying but there doesn't seem to be a real focal point or a focal lock. In a large room with a person in the middle of the room, it hunts between mid focus and infinity.
I've tried both. Without internet neither works. This is disappointing as it worked fine on the x10 using the stock google voice dial.
Still investigating.
Thanks!

So, I found a nice, free, offline voice dialer for my phone that works over bluetooth. The only trouble is that Samsung have locked us into Vlingo from the voicedial headset command. I saw one thread that involved a fairly in depth rooting and mod scenario to change the dialer. Is there an easier solution to change just this one thing?
Thanks!

you can freeze it or uninstall vlingo with Titanium Backup, which requires root
Because right now, it is missing a couple of things that are probably available, yet I have never found..
I am using the stock JB 4.1.2 on a Bell network Galaxy Nexus
- I would like to be able the Google Now voice search feature without having to touch the home button.. can't I set it up in some fashion to simply say "Google" from the lock screen instead of swiping to the Google button?
- I would like to have the phone read out my texts messages.. my friend has an S2 that has a Hands Free mode that detects when he is driving and speaks out his emails.. can't find something similar for the Nexus.
and speaking of Hands Free.. when you go to setting - Speech output you have a choice of Always of Hands-free only, but I have never found a way to turn on or set up a Hands-Free method of using the phone
- and finally.. has anyone ever gotten their phone to work with the SYNC system installed in Fords? I wish I could use the blue-tooth in SYNC to talk to Google now on my phone..

Skyvi will read your texts outloud.
Point 1 would require the microphone to be active all the time, killing battery, so I doubt it will happen.

uk 4.2.2
i read i'm not only one but i didn't find solution
So I got the N-5120 LTE version, running Android 4.1.2., a couple of weeks ago. I'm very pleased with this versatile tablet. I intended to use this with Skype Out. Making Skype to Skype calls works fine through a BT headset. However when using Skype Out, calls are initiated through the headset, but as soon as they start, they are then switched over to the phones earspeaker. The loudspeaker function is not available for Skype Out.
Both the BT and the Speaker Phone functions are turned on/off only through Samsung's sofware, it seems, and then only once the call has started.
I can tell I'm not the only one with this challenge. That said, since there are so few complaining about this here I'm wondering if there are fixes?

I did. This is apparently a common problem among Note users on the Skype forum, and according to them, this appeared with the latest version of Skype. What to do?
1. Uninstall Skype through the Play store, as usual.
2. In the Google Play store, click on the uppermost left hand side corner, choose my apps, and unclick auto updating. Otherwise Skype will auto update to the new version again... BTW you will henceforth have to update all your apps manually.
3. On your unit, go to Settings, Security (the padlock symbol) and allow unknown sources of programs, outside of the Play store
4. Go here http://skype.en.uptodown.com/android/download/44494 and install the older version: Skype 3.2.06673
5. Go back to the Security, and deselect unknown sources if you want to lock down your device again.
This enabled me to make Skype Out calls with both headset and speakers. It's not entirely fool proof, as sometimes it starts on the speakers before handing over to the headset, but at least it works.

Let us know how it went. BTW, please go to Skype and assist in filing an Android Issue on
http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/How-to-create-a-good-Android-issue-report/td-p/211384
So v. 3.2.0.6673 was probably a blessing in disguise. Skype on Android via the loudspeaker or BT continues erratic behavior, although it's better than v. 4.5.. from that sspect I discovered on here that a bug in v 3.2.0.6673 allows an attacker to bypass the lock screen on your Android device.*

And as of Feb 18, 2012, v. 4.6.0.42007 the problem has been fixed. No need to use the insecure v 3.2 any more.
Is there a way to downgrade the Google app? I have tried to uninstall on titanium backup but it will not fully uninstall. It will only downgrade to what I would assume is the stock version the phone came with. I then tried to install my older version but to no avail and the one that came stock on the phone is newer so it can't "update" with a older version of the app.
The reason why I want you to is to use Google voice to unlock the phone perform all tasks. I purposely kept a older version on my previous phone because of this reason. Or is there another way to enable it on a newer version of Google?
as far as I'm aware all versions of google allow voice unlock if you have taught the app to recognise your voice, I just had to stop using it as the phone would recognise my dads voice as me, so it's been a year or so since I used it, since my dad using google home and such when I was there would trigger my phone as well as the google home.

No it actually doesn't fully unlock the phone. Because it doesn't it doesn't perform version tasks you ask it too. Unless I'm missing something here. Please feel free to fill me in. I have included a screen shot of my old phone with this option.
Well it seems it will not let me add my screen shot
