Android - Getting skype to work

Installing skype on my android 2.2 powered M701(Haipad lol ) didnt work initially. It would crash after a login.

 

This post was quite useful to get it rocking: here

Wish skype gives support for video calls on android soon. Till then happy calling.

 

Quick Notes :

Adb - android debugging tool. This is found with android SDK under [android-sdk-mac_x86]/platform-tools

1. Connect your device using USB.

2. ./adb get-state   --> Get state of the device. If it has connected fine etc.

./adb remount

./adb pull /android/device/folder/file.txt /mac/folder  --> To copy a file

./adb push /mac/folder/file.xt /android/device/folder

./adb install - Example: adb install c:/apps/apps2sd.apk

./adb uninstall - Example: adb uninstall linda.apk
