Skype on RT 8.0? topic

How can I install Skype on my microsoft surface with RT 8.0? I've tried through the metro app store but because I haven't upgraded to 8.1 it won't let me. Does anyone know how to install it on 8.0? I don't want to upgrade to 8.1 because there is no jailbreak yet. Thanks.

[Q] Skype video on Note 3 compared to Note 2 (both Qualcomm) topic

Hi!

I did some skype video calling lately and experienced something strange. The quality of the transmitted video was way better from Note 2 than from Note 3 in various aspects:
Concerning the front cam, I had 17 to 7 fps, a much better quality in terms of light and color of the pictures. Turning on the the quality information the Note 2 also showed a lower cpu usage (!!).
Skype version on both: 4.5.0.39600
Note 2 rooted stock ROM 4.1.2, Note 3 rooted stock 4.3 MJ7.

So, is the current skype version not as optimized for snapdragon 800 as for Exynos?

The results for the back cams were similar, but not with such drastic difference. Still higher frame rates on Note 2, a bit more "natural" picture and lower cpu usage. This was kinda disappointing. I love boths my devices, but comparing them in many aspects of everyday usage, the Note 3 is not superior to the Note 2 in all aspects! Skype is just 1 thing, there are quite some things still lacking on Note 3, UMS e.g.

So, can somebody confirm my "discoveries" in terms of skype video quality?
Anyone to bring a bit more insight into that issue?

P.S. Anything similar on Hangouts video?

[Q] Dell Venue 8 - anyone have/fix problems with Skype or similar? topic

I can't get Skype or xfinity connect audio to work on my Venue 8. No one can hear me. There are several people with the same problem posting in the Dell support forum but since Dell provides almost zero support I thought I would ask here. TIA.
