I've never been happy with Skype on PPC but the latest version seems to be a big improvement on previous versions.
It still uses the speakerphone :-( but this time I could talk and be understood at the other end. That's a first for me.
TyTN version (2.2 BETA) is here.
Skype 2.2 beta refuses to open on my Xda Live enabled Cingy 8525
It says necessary componenets missing or sth,nyways,Skype 2.1 is pretty good,both parties could intelligently communicate

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.

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.
=)
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?

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:

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!
VOODOOS!L
@Matterhorn:
I tried the german provider SipGate.de . But I think all SIP compatible providers should work.
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.
...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?
Does the WM5 version of the Titan (the TELUS model, and some fluke pre-release Sprint devices as well) have the problems people are reporting in WM6?
Examples would be the bluetooth quality bug, and the DirectDraw incompatibility. I'm wondering if something got messed up with the drivers when they went to WM6...

Not sure what DirectDraw problems you are mentioning but modal dialog windows always have the SIP button display over them and also from time to time the top menu bar is not drawn and I see another application drawn there instead. Blutooth is fine on my Sprint Mogul. It's a relatively buggy device but I am thinking a lot of that is Windows Mobnile 6 and the first update will fix it. This is my first PocketPC phone and in some ways I regret paying full price to upgrade to it from my Moto Q. Smartphone version of Windows Mobile seems cleaner and more stable.
