Skype

[Davebravey]

I want to install Skype, is there a particular version i should go for or can i use any of the WM phones listed?

[dhopeton]

for some reason i can't get skype to work on my kaiser,when i try to log in,it don't recognize my user name or password,yet its the same info i use to sign in on my laptop.

[Davebravey]

Strange that, I took a chance and just installed it and it worked 1st time.

[hanza]

worked for me from the first time as well

[rakh1]

I selected HTC P4350 and it worked first time on my Kaiser....

This is the answer I received from SKYPE support re the TyTn II - so are the happy users lucky or do the Skype guys know nothing???
"
This device has CPU with ARM v4 instruction set. Unfortunately it is incompatible with Skype for Mobile 2.2 voice calling.

Only the chat function is working on that device with Skype for Mobile 2.2 at the moment.

You can read in more detail about that problem from http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=980

Our development team is working hard to make Skype for Mobile compatible with more and more devices but no release date is currently available.

Please keep an eye on newer Skype for Mobile versions at our web page: http://skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/mobile/

We apologise for the inconvenience, but for the moment only chat functionality is supported
":confused:

[qualcomm]

Had you tried 2.1 version?

[djmaven]

I haven't tried anything - about to buy my TyTn II - just point of information to know whetner it works or not - makes a difference...

[Davebravey]

Think am lucky so far, I've made 3 calles and it worked fine apart from from usual echo.

[rakh1]

I must be lucky too - works great - and even works very well with stereo bluetooth headset.....

What is Skype smoking? A cursory scan of anything named TyTN? The Kaiser has a ARM v6 instruction set. The Hermes supported voice chat too, especially in the 2.2 beta, but not the final gold.

Skype REALLY doesn't want to support any of the PDA phones. Hmm.

[kman79]

When it does work, does it support voice over Bluetooth headset, or does it still only support voice over speakerphone and wired headset?

[zakeen]

From what I understand, the lastest verison of skype doesnt work on both Tytn and tytn 2 because of there new voice decoder. The older one works fine. But I dont know which version of skype it goes back to. Look in the Tytn forum and there are heaps of info on which one works and which doesnt and Im guess its the same for the tytn 2.

As rakh1 says you can select HTC P4350. So this indicates two things

1
TyTn 2 does not have to use the older version Skype 2.2 Beta or older

2
When Skype were asked about this they just heard the TyTn part and immediately launched their standard line - Skype chat is not compatible etc. Perhaps if they had been asked about the Kaiser or the P4350 then the answer would have been correct! (as suggested by NuShrike above)

[magnamar]

i just downloaded skype 2.2 and it works like a champ on my kaiser. as others said just pick the p4350 and it will run np.

[LBN]

yep, volume still seems to come out of the rear speaker though, also, I had inital error when installing via the PC through activesync, but once copying the cab over, it installed and runs smoothly.

I wonder if the Skype crowd ever miss the Joost fellas :)

[Frankyg]

you guys who are using Skype successfully, couple of questions:

1) are you using internet or WIFI connection?
2) Which version of Skype?

Thanks!

1. Either.
2. The latest PPC build downloadable from the SKype site.

Skype phone calls seemed to work ok for me - perhaps a little crackle on the other side.

Does anyone know why skype only works through the speakers? Is this an issue with WM6 in general?

Im actually having a different problem.

Have it working fine over wifi and via activesync passthrough my desktop.
But CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME get it working over cell data connection.

When skype detects that there isnt any wifi connection, it asks if you want to connect over 3G. Of course, i choose "YES".

Then it proceeds to disconnect my current/constant 3G connection, and tries to reconnect.

I then get an error from Skype saying "Unable to connect to the internet. Please check your network settings".
And i get a pop-up from windows saying "Cannot Connect for unknown reason....".

Then, 2 seconds later, Windows re-establishes the 3G connection on its own for my push-email.


Any ideas what's going on?

Perhaps it's trying to use "my Work" rather than "My ISP" connection or vice versa. You could set up a GPRS connection in the one that currently is absent as an experiment.

Also, check to see if Skype is trying to use a proxy in the settings.

[flooty333]

Yup fixed it!!

You put me on the right path.

Im on ATT network. And through some fishing around, found their default WAP settings run through a proxy.

So, either had to put the proxy info into Skype, or change the default WAP settings for data connection.

Went with the latter and all is set now!

Thanks guys!

Wow, I have great news! The BTAudioToggle program seems to work great for the Kaiser! So, using this program, you can toggle all program audio output to your MONO BT headset, so now, you can use Skype on your Kaiser with a BT headset! THis is obviously great cuz you're not limited to the rear speaker for sound (which can be loud), but ALSO it reduces/eliminates the annoying echo your called party hears on their end (which was a side effect of the rear speaker audio)!

And of course another benefit of this is that you can now listen to ANY audio on your Kaiser thru your BT headset - even if it doesn't have AD2P profile. Great for podcasts, and music in a pinch!

The BTAudioToggle can be found in the first post here:
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/samsung-i730-i830-i830w/54951-utility-redirect-all-audio-bluetooth-headset.html?perpage=20&pagenumber=1

(This didn't work on the original TyTN/Hermes apparently. It required a hack to get it to work. On the Kaiser, you can simply toggle back and forth but running this program.)

So, here's what I did:
1. download the BTAudio.zip file
2. Unzip it.
3. Copy the BTAudioToggle.exe to my \StorageCard\Programs dir on my Kaiser's MicroSD card. (You can copy the ON and OFF progs also, but I figure I only needed the one. As a matter of fact, I didn't even thry those.)
4. Paste a shortcut to this .exe in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory.
5. Point a button on the HTC Home Program Launcher to it (right next to my Skype button :))

Then, after you connect your BT Headset, just toggle it on, then run Skype and you're good to go! Toggle it off, when you are done.

You can confirm it works by just connecting your headset, toggling, then trying to play some music. You should hear it only thru your headset.

And lastly, it even uses your headset's mic for your voice, instead of the mic on the phone.

I hope you all find this works for you too!

[greengaijin]

Does anyone care to share Skype version 2.1? Because it worked on my Hermes200 and the new one doesn't work. I already tried to download from Skype website but it isn't available anymore. I suggest folks trying to use 2.1 if 2.2 doesn't work for you. Cheers, GG

[gogol]

Jomo,

Nice info :)

Which BT headset do you use?

Is it loud?

Because Kaiser is having this BT headset issue, very low volume.

I've used it with both the Samsung WEP500 and the Plantronics 655. For the record, i've been able to use both BT headsets for Skype and normal calling. I find the BT implementation on the Kaiser to be OK.

[greg3d]

I'm using the Blueant Z9, and I have to turn down the volume on the headset it's so loud.

[noams]

I stopped using Skype as program and switch to Fring (www.fring.com) which gives me :
MSN + audio
Skype with Skype out
ICQ + audio
Google Talk + audio
Twitter

AND full spec SIP client

also supports bluetooth headset without then need of BTAudio method and auto switching between Wifi and 3G

For those who have problems with the latest Skype version 2.2. The solution that worked for me is Soft Reset after install. Give it go and you will see that it works.

I'm having the exact same problem - incoming audio is OK but outgoing audio it not there. I have a jabra jx10 and am thinking maybe whether it works or not is headset specific.

Well, make a shortcut, and put it in the \windows\start menu folder (or a sub folder) then you can put the shortcut on the start or the HTC program launcher. That's what i did.

Try bluemusic it is a very good software (not for free) you can download it and test for free.

There is no version available that will send the sound thru the phone's normal earpiece. you can either listen to the voice thru the rear phone speaker, thru a bluetooth headset (as described in my post above), or thru a wired headset.

[LGB]

When I used the wired headset that came with Skype, I could not get the microphone to work - neither the one in the headset, or the Kaiser built in one. I don't care so much about headset if it was not for 1) volume toooo loud even on lowest setting 2) other end gets a lot of echo, since mike and phone are so close.

Also, if I am using my Kaiser for Skype for a longer call, ie 20+ minutes, the sound I hear seems to start garbling, whereas the other end can still hear me fine.

Now I will try that suggested ON/OFF bluetooth thingy, as my current bluetooth headset neither has A2DP, nor R2D2 :rolleyes:

Mine is rubish on Skype it logs in but I can't see online contacts or make calls...
Fring is quite buggy too

[micronauta]

Works for me too, in spite of the speaker bug. This is: Skype (and other apps that run audio out) doesn't know how to use the earphone on the front, you know... the one usually used for phone calls. It does however work just fine with the included stereo+mic earbuds.

[fsloox718]

Guys, could you please tell me how to change the default sounds? Especially I would like to set another one for incoming message butř I can not find anything about it in settings.

Hmmm, not for me. The headset that comes with my skype enables me to hear Skype in the speaker, but it cuts off the microphone. This means that a call to skype call testing service, all I get is the "If you were able to hear your own voice ..." - there is not even 10 seconds of empty silence, it just goes straight to the skype message. I have now gotten an external connector 3-in-1, for connecting USB, headset again and 3.5mm audio. Same thing, I can hear skype, but no microphone. When I call testing service without headset and plug in the headset during the recording, the playback ends as soon as when I get to the point where I connect the headset. So this means that the microphone in my headset does not work? Must test with other Kaiser application then ... to record voice via the headset.

I just tried the voice recorder and voice recognition - works fine with the headset, so why no microphone in skype?

Not sure if this is related...

I connected my Jabra BT800 headset to the Tytn II and used Fring to place a call to the Skype test service. I heard the request to to record my message and so I then did. However I did not hear my message being played back to me. There was a 10-second quasi-silent period so it seems that my message was 'played back' to me but I only heard a kind of 'fast-forward' sound a couple of times.

When I repeat the exercise through the Tytn II microphone and external speaker no such issue...

EDIT: Actually found out that the same scenarios exist with the Fring test service; no message played back when recorded via the BT headset, message ok when recorded directly via the device. So it seems that Fring app does not use the BT headset mic. Perhaps a similar issue with the Skype app?

[NdAbbot]

Hi I have installed latest versin 2.2.0.37 on my Tytn II, it logs in fine, but I do not have my contacts shown :confused:
The only contact is Echo/Sound Test Service.

Anybody has the same issue? Or may be solution for that?

Yeah and one more strange thing. Once I connect Tytn to my laptop with USB and run synchronization, after Tytn refuse to log in :) If i disconnect usb cable it logs in no problem

[djmaven]

Did you logon with your username and password??

[NdAbbot]

Did you logon with your username and password??

Yes, sure. I have been logged on to PC and Tytn with my username and password. As I understood latest versions of skype hold contacs centrally on server. Skype forums so far useless, no help yet and no answer for this issue :(

I think that I am having the right problem, but am no where near savvy enough to figure it out, it appears.

I'm on UK O2, and it would seem that the default settings run through a proxy, but I have no option to get into the settings on Skype. When I try to connect to Skype using wifi or 3G (well, H now) I just get a message saying that a connection could not be made with the Skype server.

I'm reluctant to start messing with the default settings on my device as I have no idea what I am doing.

If anyone could assist, I would be very grateful.

[LJinFLA]

I am having the same issue. Using the latestest version.

i am running a brand new Tilt with HardSPL 1, SIM and CID unlocked. I just loaded the latest HTC Kaiser Official WWE Release from the WIKI. After setting up all my software and settings I finally got around to testing skype. Before it even got two seconds into the load of the software, the system generate a windows error, then came up and said the there was an error in the program skype.exe. After that the phone would not boot with out numerous errors to the program connmgr.exe, and cprog.exe if it booted at all. it would stick on the windows mobile screen half the time. I have hard reset and loaded skype as the firstfirst proram loaded and got the exact same results. i have hard reset, loaded skype. shut down the phone. restarted the phone and tried skype and got the same result again.
I have to assume that skype just doesn't work with this new ROM. or maybe it is a 6.1 issue. I been searching and not found any answers yet but came across this thread which seemed related and recent so I thought i would post this. i will keep searching but if anyone can tell me for sure that would help.

LJ

UPdate Edit: i guess it appears to be a problem with 6.1 and skype. However, many of the Rom Cooks around here seem to have gotten it working on their versions of 6.1 Has any one out there built a cab which loads it properly. If not can one of you cooks pull something together to make this work on an official ROM? i saw a post from dutty who said he was trying to get it to work on diamond and already had it working on His Kaiser 6.1 ROMs. Dutty, can you do you magic in a cab for the rest of us?

That thread does not offer any solution. It only shows that some people can run Scype on WM6.1.

I have a NoThrills ROM with WM6.1 and Skype just cannot start. I have tried different versions of Skype - the behavior is always the same.

There must be something preventing it from starting in this ROM. Can someone just throw some ideas where to look for the problem?

[JimmyMcGee]

That's the point silly!

There are some chefs who have fiddled with .dll and SYS folders to get Skype to work otherwise, and don't take this personally,

IT ISN'T COMPATIBLE!

[raiisak]

Can a mod move this topic to here -------> http://forum.skype.com :D

[juliank]

I am getting this - this is why I said I have a NoThrills ROM.

I do not want to flash my ROM and go through the customization again. I want to fix this ROM to work with Skype.

So I am hoping the people who have made WM6.1 work with Skype tell me what is the hack.

[JimmyMcGee]

There is no hack. I believe its a specific version of a specific dll that has to be "cooked" in, in order for it to work.

[raiisak]

Not exatly correct but not far away what Jimmy says, bothom line is that you cant run it on 6.1. Solution need to bee cooked in, there is no way around.

[juliank]

I see... This sucks but at least I know that there is no "hack".
Perhaps Skype will come up with a compatible version in the future...
Thanks for your input.

Works on my TytnII WM6.1 official upgrade. The volume is a bit unstable.
I can run Skype on my TyTN II 6.1, BUT I can't seem to get the mic to work. In addition, the sound comes through the speaker louder than I'd like. Did you make some sort of change in your configuration to get Skype to work through the phone mic and speaker?

Thanks.

This new version really works on WM6.1. Great! Thanks for the find.

I've only used it with a Bluetooth headphone (Motorola S9) otherwise the sound would have come out of the rear speaker. The headphone microphone worked - the voice test with the standard mic was not very good. For the record, I was linked by WIFI to my router at home. Fring works OK, but I was looking for a version of Skype to work like I had previously with WM 6.0.

Not exatly correct but not far away what Jimmy says, bothom line is that you cant run it on 6.1. Solution need to bee cooked in, there is no way around.

I don't have 6.1 but someone can check if possibly Fring works with 6.1 and that could be a possible work around? :)

Anyone tried it on Att Tilt 6.1 ?

[neely30188]

Yup fixed it!!

You put me on the right path.

Im on ATT network. And through some fishing around, found their default WAP settings run through a proxy.

So, either had to put the proxy info into Skype, or change the default WAP settings for data connection.

Went with the latter and all is set now!

Thanks guys!


I can not connect using wifi or 3g. What changes did you make to the default WAP settings for data communications, o make it work for you??

E/G may not be a fast enough signal. Either 3G or Hsdpa will work just fine. Voice data requires a good bit of data moving back and forth so obviously, the better the signal, the less the lag/dropouts/ect

I think that I am having the right problem, but am no where near savvy enough to figure it out, it appears.

and it would seem that the default settings run through a proxy, but I have no option to get into the settings on Skype. When I try to connect to Skype using wifi or 3G (well, H now) I just get a message saying that a connection could not be made with the Skype server.

I'm reluctant to start messing with the default settings on my device as I have no idea what I am doing.

If anyone could assist, I would be very grateful.

Havent been here for a while so lost the trac.

Did anybody come up with a solution how to redirect sound from the speaker to earpiece when using Skype?

I am at ATT TILT with ROMeOS 4.6 final, it's with WM 6.1.


Thanks

Try the old Skype version 2.0.x.x from my shared files (links in my sig).
It worked fine on my old iPaq 6515 WM2003SE, just don't use echo cancellation. I don't know how fast is CPU on your I-Mate, but I can tell you 312MHz of my old iPaq was not enough to handle echo cancellation on skype - while it worked fine without it.
