VOIP - possible?

Is it possible to use the XDA2 as a speaker/microphone on your PC via bluetooth? I use MSN messenger on my PC to talk to friends over a headset, it would be great to talk to them over the XDA2 around the house and possibly at work instead of using a PC headset.

VOIP on XDA II
Could you let me know if you find a solution for this?
I'll be very interested as well...

Hi David,
I'm half way there. As far as getting voice to and from the phone via the PC, I installed NetiPhone (http://www.polypix.com/html/english/product_pda.htm) on the PDA and used NetMeeting on the PC. It works fine. Just input the IP shown on NetiPhone into NetMeeting and you'll get a ring on your PDA
The problem I've got now is getting friends to connect to my PDA over the internet. I mean, my PDA has an IP of 192.168.0.123 (via my Bluetooth hub on my PC) and my PC has an IP of whatever my ISP has given me. How would someone connect to my PDA from the internet? I've tried [email protected]<MY INTERNET ISP> and it doesn't work.

Hey David,
Any IP with the 192.168.1 range is the default IP for wireless devices worldwide , AP and routers.
You need the IP provided by your ISP ( preferably a static IP, call your ISP for a quote they are not that much more than a DHCP IP) to be able to reach it from an outside device.

IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx is a NAT address. When you are behind NAT, you'll get a single way Audio or wont be able to connect. This is primerely because the VoIP software you're using works with H323.
Try using a software, which uses SIP (sesion Initiated Protocol), Then you might get better results.
Good luck.
As for me, I'm looking for a PDA H323 dialler, to dial out to a VoIP provider of my choice...

David

Skype via BT and ActiveSync

Hi, has anyone been able to get Skype working on there XDA via BT and Activesync. Skype installed without and problems and Activesync and my Internet connection work fine over BT. I can logon to Skype on my XDA and see my contacts etc, but as soon as I try and make a call I get an error saying "no proxies found"
I have stopped firewalls etc on my desktop and checked open ports, I could understand if I couldn't logon to my skype account or browse the web from my XDA but I can do both so am unsure why it fails to find the requred proxy servers?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying the same thing. Worse I do need to use a university proxy.
I can get skype working on my main PC. Another idea I had was to use the Pocket PC as a 'headset' for my PC. i.e. if someone had a program that would allow me to use my XDA2 (=SPV M2000) as a bluetooth headset type device for my laptop (or other phones for that matter).
It would let me use the phone as a headset for the PC
Dial in through skype on the PC, and walk about talking on my pdaphone.
It's not as good as using skype on the mobile. But still it'd be far better than not being able to do it at all.
I'd be using wifi all over the place if GPRS wasn't constantly trying to connect. Also A WEP cracking program would probibly be a great thing (is it true they've switched to another type of encryption now though?)?
Cheers folks.

Bluetooth Modem + Universal Help

Hey everyone,
Okay I'm going to try and explain what I am trying to do here, but I'm sure I'll miss some steps. I think I know what the problem is, but I still can't figure out a way to resolve it.
I have a Sony Ericsson Z710I mobile phone. I also have an i-mate Jasjar running AKU 3.2 (JW's Rom). Here is what I am attempting to achieve.
I want to use the Z710I as my telephone. I have bluetooth turned on and have connected the Jasjar to it. On the Z710I I have enabled the "bluetooth internet" option and set it to connect to the proper APN. On the Jasjar I have created a new network connection that uses Bluetooth modem, and have put in the APN as *99#.
So when I connect the Jasjar to the internet, it dials the bluetooth on the Z710. It recongnises the *99# command and connects to the proper APN and connection. This is the point in where it just doesn't want to hitch up. The phone has full access to the internet, however ... the Jasjar is just grabbing data traffic and I'm not sure why. It reports connected and is communicating to my knowlege.
When I disconnect the Z710 from the internet, the Jasjar immediatley reports that the modem has disconnected. That why I figure there is communication.
I have tried (on the Jasjar) to edit the network card settings for the bluetooth adapter to 'obtain IP automatically' but it made no difference.
Does anyone have any ideas ( or questions for me to help clairify?)
Thanks
Nathan

What kind of communication did you try? Internet Epxlorer? Opera? Messaging?
For example, IE, which is based on the Connectivity Framework, has a lot of problems that may render a connection non-working - I've written several articles on this stuff. A solution is trying with,say, OpMob / Messaging to be absolutely sure it's not just an IE-related problem.

I tried using activesync as well as IE, google maps and other internet based connections.
I just tried it right now, dialed the connection and tried to activesync. The z710i connected at the Jasjar's request and the Jasjar said connected. It then just sat there "synchronizing folders"
There are two APNs available through my phone. One is for WAP traffic, the other for Internet bound traffic. My phone is connecting properly or it at least setup properly to route traffic over bluetooth to the internet one.
I did hook up the phone through a bluetooth adapter on my computer and used it as a wireless modem it did work there. I wonder if the problem is the Microsoft BT Stack (it doesn't have a PAN profile).
Do we have a way to uninstall the MS BT Stack and install the WIdcomm one which would support PAN?
Just a thought.
Thanks
Nathan

Are you sure the z710i would support PAN server? I don't think so.
If it does, then, check out the Hermes / Wizard Widocmm BT stack hacking-related threads; hope the stack can also be hacked onto the Universal too.
(Unfortunately, AKU3 with its new BT approach (see my related articles if interested) won't work because it only supports BT PAN server mode for dial-up purposes, not client mode.)

I'm not sure how to check if it supports Bluetooth PAN server. I know that the Z710I can be used as a Bluetooth Modem (as I said previous, I hooked it up to my computer and used it as a internet connection - but when I did that I had to enable PAN client support on the PC [i think]) .. So is this where we are inherantly are having the problem? The Jasjar doesn't support PAN Client therefore, when it connects it doesn't know what to do with the connection?

I have figured it out.
I connected my Z710I to my laptop and I examined the "dial-up" connection and the syntax for the connection number was *99***2#
I changed the connection on my Jasjar, connected and everything is wicked. Now I can still sync my Jasjar while using a regular phone for a while.
Talk about a Personal Area Network .
Thanks for all the help.

TyTn and Skype

Hi,
I'm having issues getting Skype to connect using the WiFi on my TyTn. The wireless connects to my work network and a proxy server is required for web access. I think I have these setting configured correctly because Internet Explorer connects to external web pages. Whenever I try to connect using Skype it throws up an error message stating it can't connect to the Internet, Skype works fine over the 3G. Has anyone managed to get skype working over WiFi on the TyTn and if so what settings did you use.

I use skype over wifi no problems. Check your skype settings to make sure that wifi use is selected.
I, however, do not have a proxy set up on my wireless network so you may need to tweak skype's settings to get it to run correctly.
Using the new BETA version but old one worked just as good.
Sorry if it's of no help to you.
S.K.

Hie there, I was wondering if you could email me your 3 uk settings especially the phone band settings. I used to be able to connect to skype and msn but ever since I temperd with the settings it refuses to connect. It connects onto the 3g network though but some how not msn or skype. They both also connect using wifi. Help please!!!

I have a 3 pay as you go sims, could you please send me the 3 settings.

I dunno if will work with pay and go, but I'm on 3 contract and the setting the access name to 3internet allows me to connect to Skype. The standard Skype program won't allow you to use skype on p2g unless you have the internet add on as it would allow voip calls.

How do you use net sharing

OK....I attempted to search for an actual "how to" on the net sharing feature.
I got multiple pages of threads with "net sharing" within the topic...but no actual how to set up or use.
Not quite sure what I need for a connection...Do I need a dial up account to log into...or a data plan on my phone(which I have)?
I got a bluetooth card in my Dell laptop...and Im running Black Diamond 9.1
Any tips would be appreciated.
BTW, I would like to get internet access from work...where they have now restricted use to just the intranet.

I use my service provider with gprs over usb.
I believe you can use dialup if you have a dialup ISP like AOL or something, but I never tried it.
I can't get bluetooth phone/laptop connection going though because my external bluetooth adapter and software are both tempermental. Got it to activesync once out of I don't know howmanytimes I tried.
