I keep getting "problem with the sound device". I can't connect a call or video call via Fring (Skype) to computer (Skype).
 
Quality isn't that great but still good for comp to ip4 chat...if anything this has me hopeful that skype will make a great app
 
i'm i an idiot? I can't get it to register a new account on fring. It doesn't work for me. any ideas? I get a message saying, this user ID already exists. I'm sure the 20 I have tried are not taken. A couple times i have typed in random numbers and letters.


Same for me I can't get an account set up. Any suggestions? I've closed out the app several times.
 
Same thing happened with me. I attempted to register about 6 different user names and was unsuccessful. I'm deleting the app.

I have reinstalled it a couple times and still can't get it working. Maybe in a week or so i will try it again after they address the issue. I'm sure there are going to be many more of these especailly with the new touch maybe getting a video camera.
 
Worked for me after I made the first letter in my username lowercase. iOS makes it uppercase by default when you start typing in the field.

Wow that did the trick. Now it won't sign into my skype account though. I'm about to just delete this app. Doesn't seem worth the trouble.
 
All usernames and passwords are case sensitive. Even if your username is macbookpro45 you cannot enter Macbookpro45.

- Skype log in takes at LEAST 3-5 minutes as quoted by the developer. Give it time. It is buggy, but they have a great forum set up where they seem to be working these bugs out as users post them.
 
Man the firehoses!

I'm betting that a couple of million iPhone-4 & Evo4G owners ALL trying to set up new accounts at the same time tonight has caused their servers to melt.

I'm having trouble, it's late. I figure I'll try again tomorrow. :)
 
Skype took A couple times and gave me some errors

at the end All work skype ip4 to mac over wifi quality was good
not as good as facetime

and 3g with all 5 bars my up speed is 1400kbps and the quality was ok good if you need to show something on a hurry Still very Washable
 
I made a video call over wifi to my dad's skype number on his PC. Worked pretty well. Not nearly as nice as a FaceTime call.

However when I'm not on wifi I did not get the option to video call the same skype number. Anyone been able to make a 3G call to a skype account?
