Hi,
I need to install either Fring or Nimbuzz on my HTC Touch Pro 2 so that I can receive VOIP calls. I installed fring, however it is unable to connect to WLAN. I turned off all the security on my router and it still couldn't connect, so I'm guessing that fring does not yet support this phone.
The touch pro 2 was not found in the list of Nimbuzz's supported phones either. Has anyone managed to get this phone to work with either Fring or Nimbuzz? If not does anyone know of a suitable alternative?
Nimbuzz
Hi Darrenultra.
I have Nimbuzz working fine. Haven't had a chance to test VoIP calls though.
I have Fring working and VoIP configured too on 3G as well as WiFi. No probs.
Fring is what I would really like to get working ....glad to see that it is possible.
Did you download Fring directly to your phone by visiting www.fring.com/cab? Or did you do it some other way? I'm wondering if I maybe there are more than one Windows Mobile versions.
Fring seemed to install fine for me. However it is unable to find either my Wifi connection, or that of my neighbours. Instead when I try and start Fring I get a screen which says:
'Please Select Connection
Search for WLAN...'
However no WLAN is ever found. Any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong will be most welcome.
...there is one other thing that I forgot to mention.
I'm a bit worried that even when I do get fring working it is going to encounter some problems. The Touch Pro 2 tends to go into standby mode after sitting around for a minute or so. Will it still be possible for me to receive incoming calls on fring when it is in standby?
Any ideas?
I guess you must have tried the standard route of un-installing Fring and then soft reset and then re-installing Fring?
I would say turn your wifi on, launch Pocket IE. Go to fring.com and download the cab file directly. Install it. It will (should) sense the WiFi connection and take you further.
Hope this helps.

I've got the same problem... I guess just have to wait for updated version of fring before wifi issue can be solved.
I removed Nimbuzz because I found it chewed through my battery - it was insane. I could get through 1.5 days on a charge, but with Nimbuzz, I'd be looking for a powerpoint by midday on day 1. Love the app but not at that cost!
go to nimbuzz web site.choose your phone az touch pro..it work fine on pro2.no screen size problem..bud i didn't use VOIP calls yet.
I installed fring v3.35.3.248, works well... give it a try... http://www.fring.com/versions/#Windows

Hey all. Downloaded and installed the new Agile messenger beta last night. Let me just say it is phenominal and no issues of button jacking. I assigned the voice command button as my PTT and chatted up my buddy at work who was offline at the time. When I got to work he told me he had received the voice msg loud and clear. I suggest you all grab it while it's still free and hold onto it for later reflashing. After I closed the app my VC button functioned as normal. Hats off for an outstanding product. I wonder what else the released version will have ?
http://agilemobile.com/downloads.html
Thanks!
My pleasure guttrhead. 4 different instant messengers all working at the same time. I can easily text one friend and send voice messages to others. I've only used over wifi so I cannot speak to cellular lines.
Thanks Farooq. (The original diseminator of information) I just beat him to the post. lololol
I installed it and everything went smoothly, but I cannot seem to connect to any of my messengers.can use the Instant Messaging Program that shipped iwth my MDA and that works fine. Any ideas?
Maybe your network selections ? I have mine set to only connect through a wifi connection.
Which button do you use as the push to talk?
I tried various buttons but it doesn't recognize it.
I have the Qtek 9000 Universal btw.

well i use my GPRS setting to connect my other instant messengers. Can this only be used if WiFI is present?
Should work either way, wifi or GPRS/EDGE. I only use the wifi as I'm near several AP's at work and two at home.
deleted dbl post, sorry.
I am using GPRS to connect.
I find the connection cut off or I should say the application stopped after a while of idle.
Can you guys suggest any method to keep the connection on for a long period of time.
thanks
There is a registry key that you have to change for that.
I find that I can get on agile when I have my cingular proxy enabled on my EDGE connection. When I use EDGE without the proxy it works great.
For those of you who are having trouble with GPRS, please try Vijay555's software.
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
It allows you to create icons on the desktop so that you can toggle the GPRS on and off again. Also does Bluetooth, Wifi and others (I only use the 3 above). The instructions that you need to pay attention to is at the bottom of the page where instructions are available for you to put in a simple command to turn on/off the feature you want.
There's also another software out there that is a lot simpler which just turns on the GPRS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=49839&highlight=gprs
Try that and see if Agile stays on by toggling the GPRS that way.
FYI, I'm using the vijay555 software. I like it. Always wanted to have icons on the desktop to turn features on and off.
Vijay555 - You're the greatest!
Hope that helps.
is this the version of agile messenger that disconnects the phone from the service operator (when you have to retype your pin and so on)?
the problem we had with the alpha-version...
I'm connected using WiFi but don't seem to be able to send any pictures (from my camera - MDA Pro).

I do not believe this error is present in the beta.
rats. doesn't work for me. just sits there at the google connect ans waits..... and waits..... and, you get the picture.
and hints on getting this working via gtalk?
i'm using a tmobile mda.
thanks.
PS.. how about an option to edit a created account? just being able to add/delete my not allow us to fine tune a defined connection.
mr skot,
as far as I know, t-mobile and google don't play well together.
I've and along with a bunch of others are having problems connecting to google via the T-mobile USA GPRS connection.
That might be the problem you're facing.
Supposedly T-mobile is looking into it.
But a forum member also mentioned that they've been looking into it for a long long time.
Clueless
Ok, so I am still trying to learn how to use the full potential of my MDA. I was told by TMobile that in order to use these applications that utilize the GPRS Network that I had to purchase full internet access that gave me access to GPRS. Is this true? I was under the assumption that GPRS access is included in baasic phone service...
Hi,
Thanks for this forum, it's given me lots of useful tips. But can you solve this one?
My phone will work almost perfectly on wifi - can browse the web, sync Twitter, etc etc. But if I choose to download an app from the Market, it just sits there on 'Starting Download' for as long as let it. As soon as I switch off wifi and drop to the 3G signal, the download kicks off and works fine.
Hi mate
did you find an answer to this problem???
Uh,
I've got same Problem here.
And Gmails take over WiFi about 15 Minutes sometimes.
I Think, it's the same Problem....
i have the same problem with the market (sometimes) and with gmail. 3g works perfektly.
I have that i have to reboot the phone on my AP at work to get apps downloaded.
As soon as i have rebooted it downloads using Wlan.
did you try that?
Hm,
try to deactivate first Mobile Data, than deactivate WIFI and reactivate Mobile Data. Wait a second and reactivate Wifi.
Thats all ok.
But it's a silly Bug. when I'm at Home, I'm usinf Wifi. If somebody writes me an email and it takes over 20 Minutes to come to my Hero..... noooooo.
Or i must restart the Phone to get my Email? No! Thats very awful and a silly Bug!
I get no problems with email at all, but over the marketplace I haven't been able to find a fix, no.
Marketplace over WiFi
I had this problem and traced it to the port number Marketplace uses for comms. I opened up 5228 on my firewall and it now works as expected.
Hey all,
After logging on msn, my phone signs out automatically after a short period of time of not using MSN. This is something i want to fix, but can't find any options or settings to do so. I want to be perma logged.
However this is not the issue, the issue is, after my msn logs of automatically, i can't sign up anymore. It either stays trying to sign in or just gives me a message that there are problems with my connection (internet still works when this shows up) and that i should try later.
The only way to fix this, is to reboot my phone. After a while this becomes very annoying and i can't figure out the cause. And of course, after rebooting, msn works but if i don't use it or the phone goes on stand by, this problem reccurs it self everytime.
Anyone that can help? thanks.
Some info on the phone
Unbranded
Manila : 2.5.19211519.0
ROM: 1.66.404.1 (NLD from htc website)
Radio: 2.06.51.07
I have never done any flashing or fancy stuff on this phone, i don't got the brains for that, i only updated the rom once.
That's a known problem wih no solution, just forget the original MSN and use Palringo.

Second recommendation for Palringo, as Beejive support for Windows Mobile has ceased.
I am having issues with Palringo though. After using Palringo Premium for several months, I have started having a problem with it on my HD2, unbranded using T-Mobile UK.
It connects to Palringo servers, logs into my various messengers and then stays connected for about 30-60 seconds, disconnects from Palringo then reconnects up.
This happens when on WiFi or cabled up to my PC using my home internet connection or using G/3G/HSDPA phone connection. Palringo forums seem to be devoid of help either.
First time in several months that Palringo has became an issue for me and my case seems to be isolated.

Oke thanks for the heads up.
I was told to use ebuddy, but that requires Java i think. I believe the HD2 has that, but i can't get type any login information on ebuddy. When i press on the keyboard, no letters appear on screen. So i guess it is a Java issue or something, because i can't get any java games to work either.
SKype sometimes works. At other times, it reboots the tablet and shuts of the wi-fi.
If you are are having problems with Skype, such as the tablet rebooting after touching the call button, you are not alone.
Below are some of the messages from the forum at skype.com
twmeek "I have a Xoom tablet with android 3.0 and can't successfully call anyone. When I try to connect it shuts the wifi connection down and resets the Xoom. Anyone else having this problem?
"
Woggy64 "Just picked up my Acer Iconia A500 - same thing happening. Skype starts, I login, and the minute I touch the CALL button the tablet shuts down and restarts....not good. it was 50% of
the reason I purchased this"

No problems of any type with Gtalk. If the folks at Skype can tear themselves from counting the money that Microsoft will pay them, they might start to fix this problem and also add VIDEO.
The Microsoft team might be interested to know that there are no problems with Google's Gtalk. If Skype does not fix this, we should all move to Gtalk, which already has video today.
Same here rebooted almost everytime I tried to use it.
I thought it was just me maybe bcz we deleted the fone apps

Go into settings, head to Applications and then go into Manage Applications. Scroll to Skype and then hit "Clear Data".
Restart your tablet.
Go back to Skype and set it up again. Don't allow it to merge or see contact data on the tablet (the 3rd option).
Now try a test call. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what the problem could be for you.
I'm on a stock (never been rooted) device and I don't have any issues with Skype.
I discovered this bug also. If you disable mobile surround it works. But my last update fixed this problem.
My tablet is unrooted, and still has all the original factory apps.

Thanks. Someone else mentioned about turning off Dolby surround, and I tried it.
Worked for a while, and then started crashing again.

Thanks for this suggestion, also. I have tried this as well (procedure similar to what happens when you reinstall Skype). Worked for a while, and then started crashing again.
3) A third suggestion from another poster was to change the WiFi disconnect policy to 'never when plugged in.
Again, this worked for a while.
A Youtube video that shows what the problem is.

Not confined to the A500, as Xoom users are also complaining about the same problem.

I think the problem lies with the Skype port to Android and not with the A500, or Xoom. When skype crashes on the A500, it shuts off the Wi-Fi connection.
Verizon's Skype client shuts down Wi-Fi on Android phones?
According to Skype Journal, Verizon customers using an Android model cannot use the Skype client and Wi-Fi together at the same time. Something in the software disables theWi-Fi radio and the user gets a message that reads, "Skype mobile does not currently work on WiFi and requires switching to a Verizon Wireless data network connection. This may affect other apps using a WiFi connection."
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Verizons-Skype-client-shuts-down-Wi-Fi-on-Android-phones_id10830
"September 2, 2010. Wednesday night Skype updated its Android-based client to include support for Wi-Fi connections. Previously the service was available only for Verizon's 3G network, and would not load until the user shut off their Wi-Fi connection."

Skype crashing
Skype to Skype calls work fine on my A500. What causes the tablet to crash is when you attempt to make a Skype Out call (i.e. Skype to landline/mobile).

Crashes in all these scenarios: skype-skype, skype-landline and skype-mobile, and disconnects from Wi-Fi (Netgear router).
I have tried another Wi-Fi router (different brand, SMC) to see if the problem still happens. Sadly, yes.
I restored the phone.apk app and it is working fine now. If you have phone.apk removed, try to restore it and see if it works. Or maybe it is just random.
Hi,I was wondering if there any app that could support skype?
The original (skype 3.0) is not working anymore, I guess the servers are changed or something.
So maybe someone could recommend other program that supports skype?
Thanks.
It works
Hi, I just connect to skype, I'm using Skype 3.0.0.256
I just tried this version and I still can't connect.The internet connection is ok, it just connects to skype forever and then I get error:
"Unable to connect to skype servers" etc.
I think you're speaking about problem which was solved in this threads :

It´s solution which I have always used after updating a new firmware when I installed skype.
For me it´s functional but sometimes it requires nerves of steel(mostly it wants more attempts).
