Skype 2.0 available.... - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

...from HERE
It was released yesterday.
I've downloaded the normal version (not the 312MHz version) but I haven't had a chance to install it it yet. To be honest the previous version was working fine so I'm not sure how much better this one can be :?
Anyone had a play with it yet?
Cheers!

my skype 2 not works.
i'm in wifi lan,
but skype 2 can't find the wifi connect on internet.
who can help me?

With Skype's recent announcement that new features in its desktop version of the client will only work with Intel processors, I think it's obvious that they are unlikely to give a damn about making the client usable on OMAP processors. Making a client compatible with only one brand of a processor is deliberately-programmed exclusivity, and totally unnecessary. I shan't be touching Skype unless they change their Intel-only policy.

Skype 2
Also, I won't be trying it until some nice people here confirm that it doesn't cause incessant rebooting like earlier betas allegedly have.

I've installed the latest 'normal' Skype (not the 312mhz). I normally overclock my Wizard when using Skype.....Works much better!!

Are you Using Skype V2? Does it still need Overclocking to work Properly.
I Own a JAMin but CPU of JAMin and K Jam are the same..
each time I want to run Skype I have to soft-reset unless it won't rum"the moving colors comes on screen then disappear without running os it need a reset...do you have such a problem with v2 or even v1.1 before?

Wizard and Skype

Hello happy owners of Wizard!
It looks like Wizard is a really nice device but the only unclear question for me is - DOES IT WORKS PRETTY WELL WITH SKYPE?!
I got skype pre installed on my uk version when I received it. it work abit slow but not that usable over gprs. have got to try it yet over wifi and then again with the newer beta version. will keep you posted
NOT VERY GOOD
I HAVE TRIED MY WIZARD WITH WIFI AND IT IS STILL NOT TO GOOD, AS COMPARED TO OTHER FASTER DEVICES,
(IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPECS FOR THE SKYPE POCKET PC, THEY DO RECOMEND 400MHZ SPEED AS COMPARED TO THE 195MHZ OF THE WIZARD )
Have installed skype ver 1.2 beta.
have tested it on wifi.
if your not running any other apps then you can have an ok conversation depending on the other persons connection and speed.
skype works just about usable from k-jam to normal computer, but after testing from k-jam to a friends xda2s it was not clear at all with plenty of interferance.
So it all depends on the setup, conection and who you are talking to. i Have put a message in the skype forum to advise of a more lower spec version of skype to run on devices like the k-jam.
I hope they do release a better version.
Skype from Extended_ROM of K-JAM wanted!
Would you please post/send me Skype, which may be optimized for K-JAM? Skype is not distributed in the Middle East... :-(
Many thanks,
J.
This is a link to the Skype forum were you can download the skype 1.2 beta version.

Hope this help
Guys,
i'm really curious about SKYPE on the WIZARD too...
...i've read somewhere you can run SKYPE just fine provided you switch ECHO CANCELLATION off. It's an option under preferences or settings ( sorry, don't have a device with installed soft yet ).
Please let us know if you get good performance this way.

Skype for non-XScale vs Skype?

OK, we can all download Skype from the official site. However, it appears to come bundled with the K-Jam with under the name
Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
Is there a difference between the two, and will the nonXScale version work somewhat better on the Wizard?
Does any one have this cab file so i can test it on my o2 xda miniS?

nothing works for me
i dont no whats gone wrong for me...with 50+ hard resets...100+ times downloads and redownloads of all possible versions...with writting in all forums including skype....it just doesnt even open for me once....
funny but its true...i am in tears with this device as my brother in australia and me in india spend loads of money everyday....anyone who can help me have a version working on my device will get 100dollars gift...through paypal with loads of love...
one more funny thing worth to notice...everytime i write in skype about this issue a few people (same ones) just write after me how well it works for them and a few other things that dont happen for them...this just kills my querry and i have given up now...i just hate windows mobile 5 only for this.
Try this one. It's from the K-JAM extended rom.
EDIT:
File Upload does not work for me...
But you can download it here

I have installed the one from K-jam on my qtek 9100, and it works great over wifi.
I think it is probably the same as the the 1.2 beta on skype site...
Skype Non Xscale on XDA mini?
Hi, I got that copy of the non xscale kjam version of skype and tried to install it on my o2 xda mini and i get the message:
"Your device is not supported by the Skype sound engine. Calling functionality will be disabled"
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I tried all 3 versions (K-Jam, Offical, Offical Low CPU) and all give me equally bad results even with perfect WiFi reception. I tried calling the "echo123" test service and the voice lags and drops from time to time.
One time it worked perfectly but in the same config it didn't work on the next try.
@deepak:
If you need voip so badly mabe you should just consider another VoIP software like SJPhone which works realy well on the wizard. But of course it won't help you with skype contacts.

If I loaded SJPhone on a Wizard, what would be a good VOIP provider to use? I've only used Skype up to this point and I'm not familiar with the providers that support WM5/PDAs.
I tried the latest Skype beta and the Skype Beta Low CPU and the K-JAm non XScale version, but the Low_CPU version had a very bad sound quality. While the normal version works very well. So, althought the Wizard only has 200MHz (dual core) and the low_cpu version is for 316Mhz pda's, the wizard should not be seen as a low cpu pda.
So I recommend the official Skype Beta standard edition that is available on the site of Skype.
(Still trying to get SJPhone working with VoipBuster, I can connect, but I can't see anybody online to call, although they are online on the VoIPBuster desktop version)
CIAO!

@Matterhorn:
I tried the german provider SipGate.de . But I think all SIP compatible providers should work.

Skype KJAM version

Hi,
After I install the kjam version of skype on my xda i recieve a message saying this model isnt supported and it will disable the skype sound engine.
I assume its something to do with a vendor id or some similar check. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Skype beta nightmares
Deinstall it and have a happier life.
There are versions that work on the Wizard. Some people can run the normal version others have to run the low cpu version. I tried both and whilst they worked, I was unhappy about it running itself in background all the time and deinstalled it. Then I got loads of errors because it was still there under the covers.
I finally managed to hack it all out, but it has put me off Skype on the PDA. At least until it gets past the beta stage.
I'm a big fan of VoIP and Skype are the biggest. Not sure I like them though.
Just my experience.

overclocking doesnt work on my device (mda vario)

hi,
all current overclocking software doesnt work on my device.. (mda vario with omap850-195mhz cpu). i tried it with the latest firmware update.. (and older versions).
its not that i cant install it or something.. i do it the same way like 2 friends of mine (they tried it too on my divice) they have the same phone and same firmware and it just works fine on there devices. but when i set the cpu speed over 194 is crashes..
i searched the whole internet for people who have the same problem like me but i didnt find any.. so is my mda vario seriously broken (hardware) or are the maybe diverrent types of cpus so that my cpu is just not supported? (shoud i try to get a different device.. or can i hope on a solution?
thanks.

Sorry, but which software did you try?
The ONLY overclocking software that works with wizard's OMAP processor is OmapClock 0.2. There's a dedicated thread on this forum, search for it.
Bye
i tried OmapClock 0.2.. and read of course all theads i could find before starting a new one..
but this is not a "user" problem.. i make it all right (100%.. we did it the same way on two divices.. one works fine but my divice just doesnt work at all)

Then the problem may be due to faulty processor (actually not really faulty but less stable at higher frequencies). I have no solution for this but if i were you i'd try hard resetting the phone, installing a newer/different rom, downloading omapclock again and trying again. Never give up! Good luck!
Just dont do overclocking if it is crashing. All of them are not same. My works perfect at 260MHz but my friends Jamin crashes at same speed.
i tried not only one hard reset and not only with one version.. just never works
i use tomtom navigator on my phone.. it works but not as good as on an overclocked device (friends) the direct voice commands are just to slow on my device.. thats the reason i want to overclock
but what can i do.. the device has no "legal" problems so that i cant get a new one easyly
is there maybe work going on to support my "special" cpu or am i just ******

skype on 8525

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.
Re The above broken link:
The older version of Skype is hopefully still on this link:

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.
