New Skype 4.0 "Not compatible" with DNA?

[Don S]

I was wondering why the new Skype update wasn't showing up, and in the Play Store it shows this:

Anyone successfully get this 4.0 Skype update from the Play Store?

Yeah, I tried and it says "Your device is not compatible with this version."

I have Skype version 4.0.0.17847 on my DNA. All you have to do is sideload it.

skype-v4.0.0.17847.apk

How do I "sideload" it to my Droid DNA? Thanks.

Log into your androidforums account on your phone and then come to this thread, click the link and download it. Install it and you are ready to rock!

I am curious why the current version of Skype does not run on Droid DNA. Any insider story?

I don't think its available officially with the S4 Pro chip as of right now.

I have seen Note II and Nexus 4 users having the same issue.

Please excuse my ignorance. How did they make the Skype version 4.0.0.17847 work in our DNA then? Thanks in advance.

Just because the app store says it won't work doesn't mean it's true.

Side load the apk and your set.
