For Skype user, which version did you put on magician? Low CPU version, or the normal one?
Thx.
Regards,
Arto.
I used the normal one not the low cpu version - with the most recent build the performance is great over wifi on the magician . I can walk around with the headset and talk . I can't get bluetooth to work yet on pocket skype.
I have my PDA running at 585 with pocket hack............ but even at 416 I get no break up at my end of the telephone coversation or from the other party I am speaking too.
din get a word of what u had jus typed
guys i need to install skype on my phone but how do i do it??n please help me oput in english, i.e. language spoken by people who dont own an o2 mini
thanks
I noticed skype gets sluggish in my mini if I use it continuously. However, when I use the low CPU version, I get better performance. YMMV.
Does any try this?
The official Skype said it require min 312MHz CPU to run it.
Just wanna see is the performance on or not.

I overclocked my Dopod 818 pro to 276 Mhz and Skype works like magic without hassles
Cheers!
don't overclock for too long. The most feasible setting that is observed is 240MHz. Your battery wont die on your all at once and skype (low CPU) will work perfect
Be careful not to fry its motherboard!
Prophet and Skype
The only way to use skype on the prophet is too overclock...I have had success at above 216mhz
Recently I attempted Skype (at 228mhz) on the local GPRS/EGDE network ...I was able to dial/connect and receive the voice from the person I called but they were unable to hear my voice.
Anyone get Skype fully functional on a high speed network?

Skype rear speaker / headset
Has anyone figured out how to use skype 2.0 Low CPU with a BT headset, or at least via the regular telephone speaker?
Tom
use Skype Low CPU or HighCPU for Prophet?
hi guys,
WHich Skype version is recommended?
I tried the Low-CPU version since its meant for 312MHz PPC versions
But...I can barely hear the other party. The voice seems badly distorted.
I then switched to the High-CPU version and I can hear the other part lt least.
Anyone had similar experience as above?
Cheers

I was able to get the original Skype that came with my Jamin working. The program is installed on a Sandisk 2gb Ultra SD card and I overclocked the processor to 240mhz.
What is more interesting than Skype is a service called SIPDiscount http://www.sipdiscount.com/en/index.html . Go to that site and sign up for 10 euros, or you can use it free for 1 minute at a time to test it.
You can run the SIP service on a program called SJPhone for PPC http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html download the 2003SE version for pocket pc. They work great together and you can even call out to a US land line for free! No overclocking is neccessary because it is much lighter than Skype.
I've attached a text file that explains how to set up SJPhone to work with SIPDiscount. These directions work for the normal PC computer version of SJPhone also.
Have fun :lol:
P.S. You should always use a good headset with microphone for the best sound quality, without a headset there is usually an echo.
on my JAMin with SKYPE 2.00 Higher CPU one, the other person's sound comes out of the SPEAKER PHONE, is that normal or can I somehow switch to regular earpiece
I have a JAMin overclocked to 240, using Skype latest version low cpu, and over Wifi I have a decent, usable sound quality. I haven't tried it over Gprs/Edge.
Re: use Skype Low CPU or HighCPU for Prophet?
I was using Low-CPU (312MHz) version, I can hardly hear other party also. I will try to over-clock and see if it works or not. Or should we use High CPU version? Can anybody provide us the correct version and procedures in a more systematic way?

I don't overclock my S200, but it's running Skype perfectly. I've downloaded the latest 2.0.0.51 Skype version, installed and started without any problem. I made a voice chat with my friend via Wi-Fi network, he heard me and I heard him clearly.
It's just for people who want to buy Prophet but afraid about Skype not working.
Well, in my Qtek S200 i make a shortcut to overclock the cpu to 240Mhz and run Skype. When i exit skype the cpu clock becames 180Mhz.
I tested in a wifi connection without any problems. With GPRS i haven´t testet yet, but i think GPRS doesn´t have enough upstream to make Skype work properly.
This is my 50 cents!
Regards
GPRS no, Wifi yes
For the people trying Skype over GPRS, read the FAQ before blaming the OMAP processor.
http://support.skype.com/index.php?...base&_j=subcat&_i=12'>Skype+for+Pocket+PC</a>
"Skype for Pocket PC is designed to be used with a WiFi connection. If you are using Skype for Pocket PC with GPRS, you can use instant messaging but the bandwidth does not support calling functionality."
I have no problems with Skype low_cpu over Wifi.

Skype for ARM
Hi Guys
Well, first of all, I don't have the S200 yet, I'll get it today or on tuesday. I did some research before ordering it:
When it comes to Skype, there seems to be a lot confusion about how to run it smoothly. The problem seems to be, that Skype is compiled to run on an Intel Xscale processor. Well, as we all know, the S200 has an TI OMAP processor and that one has an ARM architecture. Search on Google a little bit, and you'll find out the differences. A TI OMAP 200MHz Processor is comparable to an Xscale 400-450MHz Processor only that the OMAP uses less power.
Naturally, ARM has a lower CPU frequency, but the benefit of it is, that it is multitasking. Xscale is a straight-forward processor, ARM does many things in parallel. This difference in architecture causes problems if one runs an Xscale Program on an ARM processor, because the program does not delegate the different tasks to the different units on the ARM, but only forwards them to the main ALU. That one, of course is overwhelmed, while the rest of the Processor doesn't know what to do.
Conclusion: Skype is for Xscale --> does not use the OMAP all the way and with all the available features (Sound ALU, WIFI ALU, ...)
What we need is a Skype that is made for the processor architecture of the S200
Search on Google and you'll find the following:
Skype for ARM
Of course it is an old version, I don't exactly know what has changed with skype, but as far as I know the protocol is still the same, so calling should not be a problem.
Anyways, I think I'll try the new Skype version first, and then the old one and will compare it.
You'll hear back from me, of cours I'll be happy if somebody else could try it as well and tell us what he or she experienced
Is it just my phone, or is the audio quality of the Jamin borderline acceptable?
I have this phone for 4 days now, having previously used imate PocketPc + Win2003
The sound for incoming calls is often distorted and sounds like some bad VoIp connection. Very often i have to tell callers to repeat what they say, but they hear me fine.
My ROM version is 1.0.9.25
ROM date 01/09/06
Radio version is 01.14.20
(BTW how do you display the ext ROM version for this device? It doesn't come up in Device Information).
Would a ROM update help?
Would appreciate feedback
Thx.
Mine is quite good compared with my previous PDA phone (iPAQ 6315), clear and loud. I am pretty satisfied with it. Maybe you should update your ROM?
I am using XDA Neo with the lastest JAMin WWE Rom.
I have tried running Skype on my Cingular 8525 with the latest WM6 rom and the sound quality is horrible, it's like a continuous stutter where the audio cuts out every tenth of a second.
Does this happen with anyone else? My eten m600+ has no problems with skype, and it has roughly the same specs but on WM5.
Any suggestions?
I have the exact same problem! any help?
As usual more info is better guys...what version of rom and what version of skype?
Im using skype on the tytn and is working perfect, with some lil delay but the sound is crystal clear, in and out...(im using latest farias rom, very good one btw)(the delay maybe is related to the distance the info have to travel, i live in Argentina, more than 10k km to skype servers, and its not big deal, maybe 2 seconds or so)
my skype is working perfectly, a little bit of delay in the voice but this is due to skype and the slow DSL connection, not the Phone.
am running TNT.SE
Hi,
I'd like to share my experiences, but I can't post in the right section, because I have only 4 posts
I am using the SD version of "NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a NAND/SD (Android 2.3.7)". I was happy to find that version because of the mic gain tweak. I use it now for voip with fring (version 2.2.0.7) in conjunction with ear buddy with a mono bluetooth headset, and it works flawless, and with hd2 mic control the mic of my bluetooth headset is now much louder
I read in NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a NAND/SD (Android 2.3.7) thread that it's allways causing FC using voip with this build. Here is what I did:
I am using the original setup of NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a NAND/SD (Android 2.3.7) (SD version) no kernel update or libaudio.so chances etc. I have installed it twice, one version with all my apps and another with only fring, earbuddy and k9mail (but thats not relevant) ...for info, I was not able to find a working skype version for this build. When I use the light version (with only fring and ear buddy installed) voip works flawless, but when I use the other version with all my apps, fring causes FC....it's not working. So when I want to use voip I change to my light version. For normal daily use I am using the other version with all my apps or aca (americanandroid).
But just for info, ear buddy is a bit buggy
