Working Skype for Droid 3

[militant]

Is anyone getting a popping/snapping sound in the audio? I get it constantly when the person on the other end talks or any sound comes through from their end. It is almost identical to the noise I get from the Netflix app. That worries me a little that is might be a phone issue where before I thought it was strictly the Netflix app.

I have not used the new Skype app yet, but I do have the popping/snapping when using netflix. That said, I don't THINK it's a hardware/physical phone issue because all the other audio I've listened to seems to be fine.

Anyone know how to make it so Skype does not autostart? I hear it turn on and then have to open it to close it. Is there a setting that I am missing?

How is this app different from the Skype Mobile app that came installed on the phone?

I would like to be logged in and available on Skype whenever the phone is powered on, but Skype Mobile seems to log me out whenever the phone goes to sleep -it logs me in automatically when I actually am using the handset, but logs me out when it sleeps. I would like it to wake up my handset when a Skype call comes in. Ideas?

one of the skype's you can uninstall, I think its just skype, not skype mobile. Otherwise root and uninstall them both, then install this apk

Okay sorry for asking dumb questions, but this is my first smartphone. Do I have to have a rooted d3 for this app to work?

Alright, I don't have a rooted Droid and decided I'd try to download it and see what happens. It worked fine, but when I tried calling, it would only do audio call. Even when the other person started their webcam, I couldn't see it on my phone. And when I tried to select the option "toggle flash", it said I had no active camera.

Not at all.

The difference between this skype and skype mobile? Skype mobile, as far as I tried, doesn't allow you to video call.
I froze it after rooting since it's not as good as the skype you can download with the video.

The video works fine with me. gives you the option, under settings, to use front camera, back camera.
I can skype to pc/mobile with video.
I've actually been on a skype video to australia for around 3 hours. around 60% battery loss.
The person I was skyping with said I looked pixilated, but on my screen they looked great.

I wonder if this will work with the Bionic?
