I have an unusual app -- I have a voice recognition program running on a PC (which accepts commands) I would like to use my HTC Mogul phone as a wireless microphone... I don't care if this goes through BlueTooth or WiFi.
I see that Atkesoft says it has this feature now... does anyone know if that will work for virtually any application? Or have they just done a link to Skype? and Yahoo?
http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html
Or, does anyone know of an app that does this (through TCP or whatever). I do develop in C#, though I've never done anything with .NET CF -- I'm not afraid of a little work if I have to -- but I would rather buy an app that just does it.
Any ideas?
The software from Atkesoft does work for this. It isn't great audio, but it works...
(In case anyone else wants to do something similar.)

I'm using an Apache with the A2DP hacks and it works very well for everything except when listening to books using Audible. The sound only comes through on the left channel. Can anyone suggest a registry change that might fix this issue?
Dave
I had this same problem. While I didn't find a great solution, you can get sound out of both ears if you use the older 4.0 version of the software. Just choose Pocket PC 2000 as your device on the site, and you can download it. Worked great for me!

Thanks, I tried using v4.0 and it does work. The only problem is that I cannot get it to authenticate the player so I can't listen to anything but the Welcome blurb.
How did you get it to activate your player?
Dave
I had to load the old 3.6 desktop software to authenticate it. Select Win 98/ME for the OS on the download page and it will let you use it.
Once its authenticated, I just use AudibleAir (www.audible.com/audibleair). It downloads books and subscriptions everything via GPRS or WiFi. I've never needed to connect to the desktop since I authenticated.

When installing the desktop version, what device did you tell it you have?
I can't seem to get it to authenticate my mobile player.
BTW, I have reported this issue to their tech support. They claim to be unaware of the issue and immediately escalated it to their 3rd tier of tech support.
I have not been able to get it to activate mine either.....bummer. It would be so much easier if Audible would just make their current player compatible with Bluetooth.

I just spoke with Shawn (Tech Escalation Lead) at Audible.
They want to fix this problem and will try to duplicate it monday on a WM5 device. He is hoping they have a 8125 (or other Wizard) for the test.
I told it I had a Pocket PC 2000 device. I've done it several times (between upgrading roms, hard resets, etc) and I haven't had any issue. I did make sure the software was installed on the 8125 BEFORE I used the desktop software. It's not stable all the time, and sometimes it doesn't authenticate. Fortunately, I only need it to authenticate once.
That would be great if audible can fix this problem. The 4.0 software is kinda slow on the phone, and doesn't navigate quickly.
First, thanks to AsGF2MX and his topic here
This tweak is not new, im just bringing it to the attention of those who only read the prophet forums.
It would appear the high and low CPU version of skype are most likely the same, the only difference being which codec it uses to compress the audio (high uses a smarter and higher quality codec resulting in high voice quality).
While low has a lower voice codec it is possible to make it even lower. The actually call quality is fine, the only difference is IT WORKS!
Heres what to do:
1) Install Skype for Low CPU's from http://www.skype.com
2) Run the attached CAB or modify the registry yourself (HKLM\Software\Skype\Phone\Audio\DisableCodecs and set it to read ILBC G729 EG711U)
Thats it, no need to overclock. You cant call the skype echo123 or Linux users as they dont support this codec but everyone else should work fine on WiFi.
Now even easier. Below is an install which will install skype that will work on the Prophet/JAMin/M600/S200.
What is it?
Its just the bog standard Skype 2.0.0.51 from skype.com but I added the registry keys required to acutally get it working on this device. I also added the Today plugin from the new Skype 2.1 beta.
How?
1. Remove any existing Skype install
2. Click here to Download Skype for Prophet and run the CAB file on your device
3. Launch skype and logon
Also attached is a seperate download to add the today plugin found in the 2.1 Beta for those that dont want to fully re-install.
Wizard?
Any idea if this will work with a Wizard?
Yes, the original thread I took the tip from was for teh wizard. Same processor, same outcome.
Work fine, at least in my device, thanks a lot!

As for me.
Seems to work fine for me too! Thanks a bunch
This is great. Thanks a ton! I finally am looking forward to installing Skype on my prophet without any hassle
works great here too on the wizard
I installed the CAB file that dannyoneill posted. When trying call skype's test number I get "no common codec" and skype hangs up. Does anyone know what to do about it?
// lidholm
You cannot use skype once you have applied this fix to call users running skype on Linux. Which is what the test server runs.
Linux only supports the one codec and it happens to be the one thats causing trouble for us.
For most they dont actually know anyone who runs Linux so its not a problem, and even if they did they have a choice. Not working at all or working for windows users.
Thanks for the reply.
Am I able to use SkypeOut ?
// lidholm
you can, as far as I know its just skype on linux that has issues, skype out, in , chat, it all works.
What about calling users that have Skype for Mac OS X? do their skype support this codec?
i believe so, yes
codec issues
This version works great with my xv6700, howeverm I replaced skype 2.2 with this. Problem is, when I reinstall skype 2.2 after uninstalling this modified 2.0 version, I cannot call with skype 2.2! It would seem all the codecs are disabled. No skypeout, no windows users, no nothing. I have checked the registry and there is nothing listed under the disabled codecs. Skype 2.2 worked OK (but slowly) before I installed this package. Any suggestions?
Does Skype work on GPRS
Hi,
Unable to download the cab file off the ftp server and also there's no Low CPU version available on www.skype.com mentioned as such. Can you please upload the file as an attachment with your message.
Also, I have an unlimited data plan through GPRS with my service provider. I have read, not clearly though, that Skype would work only through a Wi-Fi connection. My questions are -
1. Is it true, that Skype works only with Wi-Fi Net connectivity
2. If yes, is there any tweak/modification to use it through GPRS connection
3. If no, is there any other VoIP software available for WM5 that connects through GPRS.
Thanks,
Umesh
O2 Neo, WM5

Hi there,
I had the same problem with disabling the codecs. I installed the 2.2 and after setting DisableCodecs, any call would fail with an error message "Audio I/O error" (SkypeOut, too). Then I removed this registry setting, rebooted and the error persisted. It seems that skype stores this setting at a different position and doesn't change it back.
The solution to the problem is to manually navigate to the Skype folder, open config.xml and remove the codecs which should still be inside the <DisableCodecs>...</DisableCodes> tags.
However, I still haven't figured out what the problem with disabling the codecs is in the first place. I'm running WM5 on an O2 Neo. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your sharing!
I am going to give it a try!

awsome software....just tried it and it works great....tho its nearly impossible to get the athena to sit right.
I saw this ATEKSOFT software and thought it was very clever however from this point on I am advising people not to buy it. Although the software looks slick the customer service offered by the company is appalling. What is more, if you post complaints on their forum about the quality of after service they get deleted. Not what I would look for from someone who wants my money.
Nice idea - very badly executed.
You can do it for free
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler
This is why I love this forum. I've learned something new today - I never would have thought of using the camera as a webcam, or about My Mobiler. I love My Mobiler, very cool app; note, it says you can connece via WiFi, too, not just Activesync. Interesting feature, when you activate "Mouse Curser To", and it essentially turns your mobile into a 2nd (or 3rd) display device for your desktop, with mouse and all.
One problem though, when I activate my camera I get normal video/pictures on the Athena, but only the foreground graphics (camera settings) on the desktop. The video is just a black screen. Any ideas?
Mobiler don't capture the camera

Hello.
I have the same problem.
My Mobiler shows only the foreground graphics.
Is there a way to shows what the camera shows in the athena screen?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Funny, I'm getting the same problem with my new touchII. It still works with both an Artemis and a Pharos on 6.1 Rom's.
Maybe something to do with the camera software or that it is a 6.5 ROM?
Can anyone confirm this?
Hi,
I am planning to buy a Jade after using Hermes for a long time.
I was happy with the use of internet calling (internal sip client) of WM6 on my Hermes.
Now I wonder if it will be possible to use it on Jade.
Is there anyone who have used it and can supply feedback ?
Thanks.
well, there is no inbuild sip-client in the wm6.1 of jade. which is pretty bad. i tried a lot, activating the wm6.1 client, agephone, etc, all with sipgate.de and via wifi, but i was never satisfied... somehow it does not work and i am still looking forward to a good solution!
Try Fring http://www.fring.com/. Works very well and the sound comes from the earpiece.
Does not work properly, just tried it out. Via WiFi, a lot of disturbing side-noises, no good quality... Still no a good alternative...
I was talking about the "internet calling" application which integrates sip into the default phone application of WM6
I use this on my Hermes for a long time. It is installed as a cab file (not available in the rom but can be available in custom roms)
Now, is it not possible to install this cab on Jade ?
have you ever tried ?
Here's the long thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950
Does anybody know about any application, which works on HD2? I have tried Bluezard, BT Spammer, Whiskers (from xda developer) and some more. problem is, that HD2 uses Win Stack for BT.
I used Bluezard for faster sending/recieving files and messages rather than annoying someone but as long as I have the app, why wouldn't I try from time to time...?
thanks for any info!
Did you ever find anything that is working on the HD2?
I'm (like you) also missing this "nice" hobby
