I really hope it doesn't route all sound while the panel is loaded...

Hi,
tried it a couple of minutes ago and it works pretty well! Sound comes from the earpiece but only during the call. Ringing etc comes from the speaker... nice panel!

I think it's the "old/first" Skype panel

It's good with the wired headset, but when you want to call with Speaker, the sound comes out the speaker (aside the phone) and the volume is quite low (even the soundsettings are maximized)

Also if you plug out the headset during a call, the phone sees the headset is unplugged, but Skype will keep (your call) in headset mode

I don't think they'll charge the other person.
But I've noticed, when I checked my profile on Skype Panel, it says I got 1 Call Credit.

I presume Skype gives 1 free call

as i described the sound comes from the speaker where you got your ear, like a normal phone call over gsm, not from the speaker from the side. also the volume is sufficent in my opinion.

Weird, I was even in my room & it was silent..

But I could barely hear the other person.

Weird...

Try installing Skype first, then install the panel. That is what I did on itje's WM6.5 ROM and it works fine.

I'm having problems

1) I had Skype 2.5 on my Xperia (Stock R2A UK generic with R3A panel manager and ActiveX).
2) Downloaded and installed the panel. When I run the panel, Skype starts but the panel itself is empty, I can only see the background (blue back and white image at the bottom with letters). I can't see any contacts. But I can see them all in Skype application window. I can only see the panel background when I select Today from Start menu.

3) I uninstalled Skype and Skype panel, reset.

4) Downloaded latest Skype 2.5 from Skype and installed it, reset as asked.
5) Installed Skype panel, reset
6) Nothing changed:
When I open Skype panel the application starts (normally, like I was on any panel, contacts are displayed in the app). I can only see the panel backgroud when I open Start menu and select Today (then I can see the blue and white background without any contacts)

What else can I do to see the contacts on the Skype panel (not just in the application window)?

Press OK when in the Skype bit and this will return you to the blue and white (letters) panel bit.

OK brings me to the panel bit but no contacts are displayed on it - just the blue and white. Doesn't mather even if in the settings I choose "Contacts" > "All" or "Online now". When I press the left soft key "Skype" it opens skype and shows me my contacts, some online and some offline. Then pressing "OK" I get to the panel, but still it's empty.

EDIT: The sound comes from the phone speaker, not the loudspeaker at the bottom corner.

Does the sound come out from the speaker then ?

I think the reason why this panel version is not compatible with itje 5.06 because if u look at the device information identity tab. It show the model number to be Touch D and not X1. Now if there is a way to change that back to X1, you would be able to install it. Anyone know how to change it?

 

[fards]

well if you read the touch it thread, youd see several posts telling you how to change the device ID..

Sorry if I didnt read every single reply on that thread, god knows how many there are, i was just trying to help out another member.

If U want ballons in skypepanel U need a hardrestet and DON'T install skype from www.skype.com - ONLY flash plugin /first/ and skypepanel from your X1 /Start/Internet Explorer/Panels/.

Ok. The balloons are not worth a hard reset for me. So I'm going to try:
1) Uninstall Skype panel
2) Uninstall Skype app
3) Soft reset
4) Install Skype panel

Let's see...

EDIT:

Not my lucky day. Didn't work just like that. Still no balloons.

Somebody knows what folders or registry keys I have to reset or delete to get the same effect as with hard reset?

Thank you , you are right changing the device id helps, I found howto on the Roms thread , as you say there are more than 200 replays and it is just not easy to see every thing!
changing stuffs in registry and a file called modell.txt in windows helped but no ballons for me , Had skype installed before the panel.

-------------edit
Did a hardreset and installed my apps again then just skype panel , no beta, there are still no balloons!
