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.

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.

3G and Magician

Can any one please tell me if its possible to use Magician with 3G networks after software/OS upgardes.. I don't know any thing about this 3G technology, and want to know if it requires special hardware on the mobile devices? Or the software can just use the exisiting communication hardware to utilize 3G networks?
Thanks,
Nabil.

It' impossible... The device need specifical hardware (Umts receiver, etc..). Sorry...

The Nokia N-series phones set the standard for 3G on a phone the size of the Magician. So maybe in 2007, you will see the Magician 3rd Generation PocketPCPhones embrace 3G.

The HTC Hermes is (unofficially) announced for the first half of next year to have UMTS built in with the size of the Wizard (same as Magician, only thicker). I guess we will have such devices in 2006 already.

Why can't they build a SD Card with a 3G receiver in it, like the pcmcia cards?

I think I should lease my handhelds from now on, seems like every 6 months, a new device comes out :-D

WIFI => HTC P3300 variant (T-Mobile MDA 3 Compact)

Hi all,
Firstly, I think this is an excellent phone!
I have the T-Mobile variant (MDA compact 3) but I was gutted today when I found out that T-Mobile de-activated WIFI on it.
Apparently it can be activated ... is there any truth to this? Is there any way to get WIFI working on this phone? Are there any firmware upgrades or similar available?
Thanks alot,
Porac69

No Not Possible! Read all other threads on this subject. Its hardware disabled!

Is it possibile to enable?

No, becausse it is HARDWARE disabled. If you manage it to solder a WiFi-Chip in your MDAcIII then please tell me how

If you want to use wifi on a T-Mobile III Compact try a micro sd card with wifi option on it - for excample: http://www.expansys.de/a.aspx?i=140798

yummi, yummi, yummi, aint this a beauty! wonder what the price is gonna be!?

Yup that's definately an option, but besides the Price i'd like to know about the Reception... The antenna can't be very big. But i think it's amazing that we reached the time a WiFi Chip with Antenna can be put into a Micro SD Card, that's just fascinating

Using wifi with a sandisk SD

Hi there guys Was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of how to set up my wifi card i bought two days ago, I just called TDMS - T-mobile and spoke to there well trained staff who said they dont have a clue what im on about, My MDA can search for spots no probs and pick them up, But for some reason i just cant connect at all, Do i need to assign for example a specific IP address or Even a certain domain?!?! I know there was a thread in regards to this, But ive looked and it takes me to no further than what im at just now, Any help would be much apppreciated.
Joseph.

Ok since i have posted my last "Q", I have tried my MDA without a sim card in, So my web and walk CANT start, tried using the wifi, But it seems that the MDA is still looking for the GPRS to connect over wifi first, Any solutions around this?! Help would be great

Ok thanks for that.

my wifi sd card also can`t work with wm6!

I have a i-tec SDIO Wlan and it is working better under clean wm6. Having some problems under original ROM. I mentioned the same thing - Charmer tried to connect over GPRS first. Under the clen new ROM with wm6 - there are no pre-deffined connections - wlan works much better. Maybe you needo to install some WM5 drivers to get it work.

I'm using the SpecTec SDW-820 (11 MBit) with my Charmer (T-Mobile Germany, WM5/AKU3.3) and it works quite good. However, from time to time it seems like Windows does not recognize the card. If I insert the card, just nothing happens at all. After a soft-reset, everything is fine again. Strange issue, since it's working most of the time without any trouble.

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...
