Ok Guys, can I install skype to ny Uni without it completely aborting, sucking all sytem mem and failing to install ballsing up my gadget totally?
is anyone on the latest V of it and cares to share their experiences? . . sure there are a few ppl wanting to use it but are chicken lickin like me!

I've used it, works fine (with wifi). I use the hands free corded set I got with the xda exec. I didn't want to use bluetooth headset as this zaps more resources from the exec. One odd thing, is that the first time you dial someone after loading it, there is no sound. So you dial, let it ring for a second. disconnect and then dial again. Everything then works ok. I have had a number of wm2003 and wm5 devices and Skype never works flawlessly, there is always some hickup. The call quality does seem to be quite good on the exec.
Hey all
I keep getting "error with bluetooth hardware" everytime I search for other bluetooth devices.
It was working fine and had NO problems until all of a sudden the connection was dropped. It was then that reconnection was no longer working.
I use fit4cat and had no problems before and I doubt it had anything to do with this program.
However, I did install netfront, IM+, pocket plus, pocket weather recently and I have a feeling one of these installations affected the bluetooth.
I uninstalled pocket plus and weather but still no help.
anyone?...
The only for-sure way to determine if you have a hardware problem is a hard reset. Does the problem still occur after you hard reset? With backup programs like spb backup (free trial available) its trivial to create a backup first that will fully restore your software afterwards. I've been hard resetting regularly lately since I've been playing with the widcomm development stack.
I've tried a hard reset multiple times and still, the same message. Its really weird. I think I'm the only one with this problem. But any how I've gotten replacement and there's no problems yet.
Hi everybody,
my htc tytn hangs abount 5-10 times a day. The only thing I can do when it happens is to detach the battery and reboot. This is quite annoying, especially when it happens as soon as you receive an sms and it get lost.
This usually happens when I do some "operation", like receving an sms, detach the battery charger or the usb cable, open an application.
Should I contact technical support and ask for a repair/replacement or it is better to try with a firmware upgrade?
My tytn has version 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0) of windows and ROM 1.18.258.2 (07/22/06), radio component 1.03.03.10, protocol version 32.34.7010.01H, extrom version 1.18.258.105 ...
Thanks in advance
what software have you installed on your device?
the most "intrusive" software I use is probably Wisbar Advance, but the problem persist even if I disable it. Other software installed includes:
Resco Explorer (w Today,Registry and FTP Add-in)
TomTom 6.0.10
RARLAB Pocket RAR
Sunnysoft Backup Manager
Spb GPRS Monitor
i have always had bad luck with WAD.. i also had lock up issues with Spb GPRS Monitor
Do you have .NET Compact Framework 2.0 installed on your device? Mine use to hang up all the time. I finally did a hard reset and restored my device to a date before I had intially installed it. Now my device might hang up once every few days or so at the most. Anyone else notice that .NET Compact Framework 2.0 caused problems on their device?

Nope, it's fine on mine and used by quite a few of my applications. But, often I believe it's not any one application but the particular combination of things you have installed and the way you have your device stup that's the problem. So someone may well find installing a certain application causes endless problems whereas another person has no problems.
Everyone who does not need active sync running all the time should ensure they have taken the steps outlined many times on this forum.

does anyone know why skype doesnt work on Ppc
What's your device? OS?
And what about Skype version?
I've got a Cruise and WM6 and Skype 2.2.0.37 works fine.
@+
I have titan and I used 6 & 6.1 wm and no worky
I have it working on WM6 on a Himalaya. How did you install it?
It seems to have trouble installing via cab and needs to be installed using the exe via Activesync (though I am sure there is a way to do it via a cab).
Perhaps you installed it to ramdisk and when your battery goes flat you've lost part of it?
Give us a bit more information of what part exactly isn't working.
Does it install or not?
Does it not launch when you click on it on your PPC?
Which version are you using?
etc
when i make a call i cant hear anyone and they cant hear me and i nstalled with active and cab both dont work
I have a Sprint Mogul also know as HTC TITAN PPC6800 and I just downloaded the SKYPE cab file for pocket pc from the SKYPE.com website and it works perfectly on my phone. I have been using it for over 4 months nows!
Clicking/Skipping during Echo123 call
Hey All--
I've had a Sprint Mogul for about 6 months now--just upgraded to the latest official EV-DO Rev.A ROM, and things seemed to be working a bit better for me (particularily battery-wise, the latest ROM seems to be a little more energy efficient).
So, I felt brave, and decided to give Skype a go. I've been waiting to look into it to fully utilize the WiFi with Skype--cheap and/or free calls from any free hotspot? yes please.--and finally installed the latest available version from the Skype website (can't rememebr the rev #--whatever the website recommends). Of course, it installs, and even calls the Echo123 number, but no sound.
Did a little more research, and found that it's the earlier betas (2.2.0.20 and 2.2.0.18) that seem to be working for people (apparently with mixed with results--some people say the sound quality is awful, some say it works like a charm).
I uninstalled the most recent Skype from the phone, powered down, and then I tried 2.2.0.20 beta--and lo and behold, I was able to hear and record from echo123, but there was a crackling noise (like a CD skipping) any time there was sound coming across the speakers (this is using both the loudspeaker and the included wired headset, also happeded on WiFi or EV-DO, with and without echo correction).
I then uninstalled 2.2.0.20 beta, powered down, and then tried 2.2.0.18. Exact same problem. The sound of my voice coming back on echo123 was actually slightly better than my regular phone; it's just that crcackling that I'm sure will drive me crazy and make the program unuseable.
Has anyone gotten Skype to work on the Mogul without that CD skip sound? I've read through all the forums here, on PPC Geeks, and SprintUsers, and have yet to find anyone definitifely getting great results who can explain how they got there. Is there some other codec or driver that I need to replace? Is there a certain kitchen ROM that will enable Skype to work?
Failing that, is there another program that I can use to make calls for free without having to sign up with an SIP? I also tried fring, but it didn't have any sound on the echo call either, just like the most recent Skype download. Any other suggestions? Seems like things like Octrotalk and SJphone al require setting up some sort of server, which might be fun, but don't really have the time or resources for right now.
I'm leaving for vacation in a few days, and would love to figure this out before I went...any help? Thanks...

Why don't you try FRING?
It can manage Msn, Yahoo, Skype and other SIP accounts.....
PS: It works correctly on my Touch.....
More updates
Well, I've been searching around, and it looks like WM6 doesn't natively handle VOIP (check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950)
I'm going to try to install these dlls and see how far I get...
Otherwise, I have tried fring, and excitingly, everything worked just fine in googletalk (actually the sound quality I got was *better* than a regular cell call)--except that the person I was talking to couldn't hear me. I could chat though, so at least we could communicate. Similarily, skype through fring to echo123 did not work--I connected, but no sound came through my mike.
I also tried a straight up Skype call (using the 2.2.0.18 beta), however the results were very disappointing. Sound had lots of skips, clicks, slowdowns. Don't see how it would be useful, and certainly not worth paying for.
Also installed Octrotalk--but was surprised to see no talk protocols in the program, just chat stuff through AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Also, the soft buttons (the two screen buttons usually on the left and right of the bottom) seem to be unlabelled--I can press them, but there's not text on them, so I didn't even think they were there at first. A bad install? Maybe my Java is outdated?
Anyway, the search continues...
Hi,
I just got a problem with my BT. It doesn't work. Yesterday it did, today it don't and I don't have the time to search this forum just now. I really need the bluetooth function today...
What I've done is to buy g-profile and g-alarm and thereby have the "full" version. I have installed some other apps but haven't configured them in any way since yesterday.
Can anybody help me? I really wouldn't like to have to make a hard reset!!
installed tomtom by anychance?
No, but I have installed a bought Navigon 7. Could this mess anything up?
That I havn't changed in any way since... well... a couple of weeks....
interesting, I tried G-Profile and it immediately killed my internet settings...
