Skype on WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I just installed WM6 on my Cingular 8525 (HTC TyTn), and when I reinstalled Skype, I cannot make any voice calls. Chat messages work fine, but no voice whatsoever. When I select a contact to call, the program quits. Does anybody have any experience with this problem and a solution?

yea the current version of skype mobile doesnt work right with the hermes. get the earlier version 2.20 or something like that. cant remember off the top of my head. you can get it by googling.

I contacted Skype ... They are supposed to have a version that works with WM6...released after an official ATT ROM release...

Thanks for the advice. I thought Skype 2.2 was the most current, but I'll do some searching. The Skype website says there is a beta version of 2.2, but I can't find it anywhere yet. If anyone knows of a WM6-compatible Skype download, I would love to get the link.

Vibrate/Alert on Text? Palm Threader added

So I have the Palm Threader running, and its great. Only problem is the notifications for Texts. I have notifications for for texts set to vibrate, but it doesn't vibrate at all. It also doesn't play sounds for incoming texts.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you using the version ripped from WM5 or WM6? I am using the version from the WM6 version of the 750 and vibration works correctly on my 6800.
where?

Google talk

I tried searching this forum without having to create another thread but I was unsuccessful.
I have a new Tilt 2 on AT&T(previously a blackberry user) and I was trying to get google talk on here?
Can someone assist on how to get this app on here...if it is possible?
Thanks,
While neither of these apps are just Google Talk, they both work well with it. I have been using Slick for several months without any problems, and recently started using OZ IM. Both work great with gtalk.

You can set up a number of different IM clients to use Google Talk since it uses a standard protocol.

I have never had a problem - I just install the cab, and sign in to Google Talk using my gmail id and password.
I usually end up flashing a new ROM every few days, and have never had a problem installing & signing in.
What is the specific error you get?

that would be google voice.
You can use a couple different google voice dialers to pull your contact info from google voice, and you can send and reply to SMS messages through outlook. That's what I do

go to -> options & enter you phone number ; now try to sign in - that should do the trick. Doesn't matter where you are or who you carrier is. Also it is data based & you wont be charged for text.

VOIP/SIP for HD2

Anyone get VOIP apps to work on their HD2? I have been researching and downloaded audioroute 1.20 and WM6VOIP, but what worries me is those files are rather old. I am considering flashing Laurentis' 4.0 (includes VOIP drivers), but I am not keen on the icons, so I'd like to test with Kumar's 1.6. I wonder if I can use Kumar with the old cabs I found to start this process. My goal is to use my magicjack SIP account with my phone, which would really be nice in other countries with wifi connections. Any advice? I will post feedback as I go through my testing on this, but a confirmed setup would help. Thanks.
edit:
I just found this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574521. Looks very promising. Will post results.
i mange to do setup after following the link. i can receive incoming calls over voip but unable to make outgoing call. are u able to make outgoing call?
I'm using fring. It works but it is as ugly as hell! Please let us know if you could make outgoing calls work.
At work, but found this link that seems real promising:

i tried your link same here also i can receive incoming call but outgoing call is not working.
I installed this stuff on NRG 11 Apr 23554, and it broke my connections (data, wifi), and I couldn't uninstall it, so I'm planning my next move. I have tried Laurentis, didn't work (don't like menu icons anyway). Tried some things with Kumar 1.6, so far no good.
To be clear, I am trying to use my magicjack SIP account on my HD2.
So far the incompatibilities I have been running into is with having to disable Sense to see the damn internet calling tab, and missing/incompatible voip drivers (I've found like 3 different ones through searching). It's gonna be a crapshoot of combinations, but hopefully I'll figure it out soon, while keeping Sense active! I may break down and try one of these softphone apps, because right now I'm just trying get the phone dialer to work.
i was able to see internet tab in sense ui with out any hick. i have tried portsip as well that is also not working.
PortSip works
PortSip definetely works on stock ROM. At least5 with "Betamax" family like voipraider.com
http://www.portsip.com/downloads.htm
I have native VoIP cab which worked for me on HTC HD. Did not test it yet on HD2.
works great

[SOLVED] A clean, working Skype client

Hi Guys,
I've just switched network provided and left three (uk). I used to use the 'Skype on 3' application and I'm struggling to find a replacement app for this that would work on my new provider - using normal data.
Fring seems to be missing Skype
Nimbuzz takes light years to get skype to connect
I just want a clean, working Skype app - just like the 3 one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

there's no skype for android besides three version ... i just got old skype lite beta to chat - but you're not able to make calls with it
errr how come? the skype on 3 app works great to be honest.
can't it be modified to work with any provider?
there are rumors the skype makers are working on a fully usable skype version for android - but that's just it ... don't have any further info on this
i have a discontinued skype app, that calls a landline in the uk and then allows all interantyional and skype calls to be routed, basically the same as the 3 one but witha different access number.
if you search the forums you should find the apk, otherwise pm me
Also there is Nimbuzz which can connect to skype (also allows skype calls to be made) and several other networks like yahoo, ICQ etc.

Is anyone using voip software like nimbuzz or skype ??

well, because it's NOT WORKING
searching on internet i found this

OMG this RUINED the phone for me
You can download the new Skype app in Android Market!
I used skype and never liked it-try this software this worked for me sipvoipsdk.com
Skype works good on the Flipout, the only problem is that it doesn't set the screen orientation correctly.
yeah but did you try a voice call ? worked or you ?
tried skype, fring, nimbuzz none work... always the same problem, other person can't hear me...
Has anyone used any other SIP apps? I've tried linphone and sipdroid to use an SIP account my ISP gave me. With both apps I had problems. I could call fine, but when installed I couldn't receive any SMS, once uninstalled I would receive 10 sms at once...
I'm using handcent SMS btw,
Had anyone else had this problem?
I'm using CSipSimple with total success in Motorola Flipout
The CSipSimple is easy to config, just put the login name, password and sip address
In Brazil i"m using voipalobrasil.com.
it seems SIP works, but i doesn't replace softwares like skype, i want call computers not phones
i'll send a email to motorola
The latest spype works on the Flipout. I tried it today, and the test call records my voice (which didn't happen in previous versions)

It happens with me too. the test call records my voice, but when I try to call someone they can not hear me

Try holding and resuming the call (on both sides), that worked for me.

Hey AndiDeepBlue
Have you had any problems with receiving sms once CSipSimp was installed? As I have said before, I've been having problems receiving them when I installed either linphone or sipdroid. I could send sms (although it stayed in pending status but they would still receive my msg) and I would receive them once I uninstalled the SIP app, or sometimes just randomly from 5 to 15hrs after the msg was sent to me...
Haven't had a chance to try skype yet, will do that tonight, but I read on the skype forum that another way to make it work is to initiate the call when the keyboard is closed and then open it.
According to tekki
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=725723&st=20&
...After some experimenting I found out that it seems to work if you activate your call with closed keyboard and flip out the keyboard afterwards. If the call is originated with open keyboard then the mic does not record anything.

Are you using any of these 2?

I did not use Handcent for sms.
I installed Skype from the Market. And I plugged the headset. Usually I have to play with the flipout to open and close, and also when activating/deactivating the "loud speaker" it will enable the microphone on headset/mic. This happened when I made a call to a fixed phone.
Yeah, Skype is great for casual social interactions with family and friends. But for business conferences, I need more security, so I use RHUB, which works from behind my firewall (instead of outside of it). It also provides free audio conferencing.
