Does PocketSkype work on XDAII?

I've downloaded PocketSkype which is used for PPC-PC calls through internet.
I tried PocketSkype on my iPAQ4150 and it worked perfectly.
But when I tried with XDAII+SDWiFi, it does not get connected.
Someone help me?

Sorry for asking, but does the sd wifi card works well on your XDA 2 ? I tried to let it work, but he can't open the AP Browser.

My SD Wifi works well with Cisco AP (both single & combo), but it can not work with DLINK624 AP.

Yes it does work.
I am using SanDisk WiFi and LinkSys WiFi router and they both work well.

You use SD Wifi with O2 XDA? This is my problem.
If using SD Wifi with other as iPAQ, it works perfectly.
Thks anyway,

I use SD WiFi with my XDAII and have no problem at all. It is easy to set up. And now I am surfing the Internet via Wifi hotpsot at home. he he :lol:

It's OK for me now. The problem is that I didn't install taojava (to save memory).

toajava. What is it. Where i can get it. My PocketSkype still doesn't work....

Find it in the newest ROM upgrade. 1.60.44 (asia)

wifi would not work on a xda1 because it dont support SDIO
xda2 does

It does not work on XDA1 because the CPU speed has to be faster than 400MHz as announced in Skype website.
I can chat online with GPRS, but voice is terrible in this connection.

I can't get pocketskype to work on my XDA2 either.
It says "signing in" forever.....
My SD WiFi works perfect.
It is also suppose to work on GPRS (although text msg only), doesn't work there either.
Has anyone contacted Skype on this ? it seems that it's not compatible with the XDA2, can it be ?

well it's still beta so i guess it may easy have some bugs

Does anybody know if it is possible to use the O2 2003SE upgrade on a QTec2020 bought in Denmark? NOT from O2!

what 2003SE ?
i have not yet heard about any release of SE for xda devices
if you mean 1.66 then it's not SE based
a rom dont know which country you got your device from
all himalaya's have the same hardware and can use the same software
and even when SE comes to the xda platform then people may think twice about upgrading if they like to be able to run older CE programs

@clievaio: I think the picture you posted is PocketPC not XDAII (no GSM signal).
My PDAphone is MDAII actually, but running 1.60.50 UK ROM. Skype is running well. But in case my friend, O2 XDAII with the same ROM, Skype is stucked in "signing in"????? Even I tried a lot of time to upgrade 1.60.00 ROM.
Who can explain the situation for me? Because I think MDAII and XDAII is the same hardware. And I uploaded the same ROM 1.60.50 for both MDAII and XDAII.
I will post the picture of connecting t'row.

As promised, this is the picture in the MDAII, configured as:
- ROM O2 UK 1.60.50.
- SD Wifi Sandisk card with Sandisk driver.
[/img]

me too
I am using XDAII with Sandisk wifi and a WRT54G. I have the same problem with skype. As for the Sandisk WiFi SDIO, it works perfectly with Scoket's driver utility.
Does anyone here know why Skype takes 'forever' to sign in?

Skype forever signing in
You are not alone! I 've got the same problem, using UK o2 rom 1.60.5... , newwest one, and a Socket SDIO card???? Skype just signing in forever? I believe that I have the Taojava too as it should have been inlcuded in the new rom. Any ideas?

As discussed with some Skype's staffs, they will fix this bug in the next version. Wait and wait.

XDA2 Socket SDIO Wifi causes a Freeze, then a hard reset???

Sometimes, when connected using the socket SDIO card, the XDA2 freezes, turning off causes the power to fade, then it will not turn on again unless i do a hard reset? Any ideas? I have the latest UK rom update.

What driver?
Hello mikeycollins13
Have you got the latest drivers? I bought my socket card a few days ago and got a driver version ending with a D whilst the one you can download ends with a C. I haven't had such bad freezes, but yes, it freezes sometimes for a short while.
Cheers
Johan

Yup
I downloaded the latest ones from their site. Still happening, returning the xda for repairs, don't know what else to do

Try this driver
This is the latest "D" driver that is not yet published on Sockets site.
Good luck
Johan

thanks
may hold off on sending it back now, did you ever here of this? And how do you look for Ap's? With Netstsumbler or Pocket Winc?

Netstumbler won't work
I can't use netstumber because it will only find the network I am connected to. I go to the connection settings, choose networkcards, and there is a list of detected networks. It updates itself often. I am often on a network with hidden SSID. The first time I have to manualy enter the network data (SSID, WEP) with the "add new settings..." option.
Regards
Johan

By the way...
I have one issue on it posted elsewhere and that is when I turn off my PDA the card seldom wakes again, but I only have to do a softreset, which is much less painfull than a hard reset. I can live with that.

Sent in for repair, back with apparent NEW o2 ROM, 1.66
This problem kept on happening and I sent back to o2 uk for repairs. They are returning it tome tomorrow, apparently a software issue, so they have reflashed my rom with a new ROM that is unaivalble on their site, ROM 1.66xxx (didn't get the rest) Don't know how to make a copy of it for you if you guys want one. Best,

rom 1.66, o2 uk
It has a new Clear type tuner, radio stack 10, that's all I found so far.

So it really is 1.66 - cool. I like the sound of the Cleartype tuner too.
So COME ON GUYS - HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO COPY THE ROM FROM OFF HIS PHONE SO HE CAN SHARE IT WITH US?

Weirdest Problem Ever..

I have this weird problem with the JJ. I have 2 SIM's with 2 different Operators. The JJ works just fine with one SIM .....
BUT, when I insert the other SIM, I can make calls normally, but I can receive only ONE call (i mean it, ONE), after that the damn thing won't receive calls anymore! (Like the phone is turned off or unreachable)
After trying to make calls for several times it does work, but again, one incoming call and that's it.
I tried that SIM in the 8800, it works just great.
Anybody has an idea on what's going on?
Thank you guys..
PS! I did post this in another topic, but needed some attnetion from you guys, so posted it in a new topic!

It is SIM free btw ..

Come on guys, 80 views and not a single reply.
I need to you that SIM in the JJ.
Could it work by a Radio upgrade or something?

OK, please tell us which version of ROM and radio stack you have.

Sure,
ROM 1.30.69
Radio 1.09.00
Thank you Richard.

the reason there are 80 reviews and no replies is cause nobody knows.
this is an anomoly, way out in left field, that I have never seen ever in all of the forums.
1. get a new sim card
2. get a new sim supplier
3. stop swapping them, and use the one that works
4. take the phone back under warranty and have them fix it.

Tried a colleagues sim card with the same operator and the same happened.. unfortunately there are no other sim suppliers.
the reason i want to use this sim in the jasjar is that my corporate email doesn't work with the other operator, there is some routing problem to our email server.
but why this sim doesn't work properly while the other does. its really confusing.

Throw this thought in.....
Could some settings relating to the "phone" usage be stored in the universal's registry that conflict with the other SIM card thats being used. Are both cards UMTS?
Matt

Here is a thought, Is the SIM with corporate e-mail the one that is not working? I have a T-mobile account with Blackberry BES and a Cingular account, two different SIM cards. Both work fine but the TMobile card will not work all the time with the blackberry connect software I have loaded up on my Exec. I called TMobile and they reset my "LOCAL Data" from thier switch and now it works fine.
Your carrier may have to reset some things for you to get your card working again. Just give them a ring and ask them to help you sort it out.

No they aren't ... I tried to hard reset the Universal with that SIM installed, nothing changed, still can't receive calls.
And once the problem happens, GPRS won't connect as well..

Already called them, they can do nothing about it, I traced our mail server using their GPRS, it stops some where is London! :lol:
I will try to down-grade the Jasjar with the old firmware. It might work :?:
Thanks buddies!

Can the Radio only be downgraded? Or I will have to downgrade the ROM as well?

You can downgrade the radio only, Find the radio you want on the ftp and then upgrade or downgrade just that

Here is what I tried so far..
1) Installing Qtek latest ROM, still didn't work.
2) Downgraded to Radio 1.06.00 and the problem is still there!! :evil:
Looks like I will be selling the JASJAR as soon as the P990i is here! :evil: :evil:

I suspect troubling SIM is UMTS (3G) enabled, AND has poor 3G coverage. JJ sees UMTS and spends its time trying to connect, but can't quite pull it off. I'm battling with this and trawling this board indicates that this is the issue; weak UMTS which you only experience witht he one SIM.

SANDisk WiFi Card connection challenge on XDAII with C Shekhar's WM5

Hi Friends,
I have been using cs-WM5. Its great and cool to use.
I am having XDAII/WM5/Sandisk Wifi card - SDWSDB-000 . It was having challenge in connecting to wifi with WM2003SE itself. But it was intermittnet.
After upgrading my XDAII to WM5, i could not connect to wifi. I am using the driver from sandisk web site. But is is old, 2003 version. Thats all they have.
I am in Singapore. Singapore is having free wireless from this month in most of the places.
Is anyone using this combination XDAII/WM5/sandisk wifi card and workingproperly?
Awaiting yuor experience/suggestions
Thanks CS for your great WM5 Rom.
Regards,
Waran
Singapore

Better if you ask to the sandisk company (support divison) for new driver, may be you have chance to use it.
Or you can try driver from spectec. And if you lucky (it has the same construction with sandisk), you can still use it with WM5. But let us know the result if you try this way.
But try with your own risk. In my oppinion is no risk to try... this is the link for spectec.
http://www.spectec.com.tw/Download.htm

Yeah, the spectec cards will work for WM5 PPC. They are designed to work on WM5 PPC.
I was trying to get it work on the O2 Xphone, thats when I learned from spectec that they will work on WM5 PPC but havent tried it yet

Sorry for the second post...
Waran,
Since u are from singapore, just go to east gear shop in penninsula plaza and tell them you want to try the spectec wifi card before buying it. they will also help you in installing the wifi software.
Hope this helps
Oh almost forgot to say that east gear is on the 2nd or 3rd flor in peninsula plaza.

In regards to your GPRS query...
3G operates on two levels, 3G and HSDPA.
When you switch 3G off, you go onto the GSM network, which has GPRS and EDGE.
This means, when you switch 3G off, your phone will automatically show the strongest signal, such as GPRS.
When at work, my phone will display 3G, but if i'm out in the sticks, i'm lucky if I get GPRS.
With the phone displaying the network, don't worry about it, your not charged till you use the network, its more informational to you for when you wish to use it.
As for MSN, I used PocketMSN, which I believe I downloaded from here, which works on my handset just perfectly.
Your SD card, where did you buy it from, is it an original card?
I know when I bought my phone, I had to update the WM version, as I wanted to use an 8GB card in it. Wish I could have more, so looking into that stuff now, but may just wait till I get my staff phone from work.
Don't know about anything else tbh, as still learning.

If you're running a stock rom then its probably WM5, it won't recognise anything larger than a 2Gb card, Its not SDHC compliant (which is what your 4Gb card is). You either need to search for and install the wm5/6 sdhc patch or install a later ROM version, WM06/6.1/6.5. You can find these in the WM06 part of the Hermes forum.
Cheers...
Remember to read up on how to Upgrade the ROM in your Hermes. Use the search function. You'll need to Hard SPL it first... GO to the upgrade section and upgrade it to Hard SPL V7 BEFORE you try any other roms so you have a measure of protection if (and when) things go wrong...
