skype on 8525

[funyunz11]

hi all,

i've been trying to use Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) on my at&t 8525 windows mobile 6.

everything installs fine and i can connect to calls but the sound keeps on breaking in to pieces. plus the other person can't hear me.

i thought it was my slow 3g connection but it wasn't because i tethered the phone to the comp and used skype. that worked fine.

so i think it's a software issue? or the version that i'm using is wrong?
does anyone else have this problem? know how to fix? or which version of skype are you guys using with windows mobile 6?

oh i just found the solution, for those that have the same issue. you need to get an earlier version of skype: Pocket Skype 2.2.0.18 Beta!

get it here: http://smarthacks.com/2007/06/26/wo...-trinity-p3600/

I have the same problem on my Dopod 838 pro. Can't find a good solution because I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1. Forced to use the newest version with crippled sound engine. Anyway, the link appears to be erroneous to me. Error 404 in that blog.

Same problem here. Sound breaks up. Using Schap's 4.31.

Just wanted to say in advance, Thanks Mike.

Just checked my Skype account, so I can talk to an old friend in Poland, and hoping this will ease this...

Do you know if it'll work through the WIFI on the phone? (Hermes). Or do i have to preconnect it to something first?

mobile skype the same as desktop skype is a bloated, useless piece of sh..software.
The reason the sound is breaking is probably because skype takes up all the available processor's resources and it's not enough for it.

I use fring, the sound quality is not as good, but at least it's bearable.

Yes it works through wifi. It's a while since I set it up, but simply put, if you are connected to your PC by wifi and the connection connects to the internet then Skype will too.
