OK, we can all download Skype from the official site. However, it appears to come bundled with the K-Jam with under the name
Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
Is there a difference between the two, and will the nonXScale version work somewhat better on the Wizard?
Does any one have this cab file so i can test it on my o2 xda miniS?

I think you can find it on the ftp of this site
nothing works for me
i dont no whats gone wrong for me...with 50+ hard resets...100+ times downloads and redownloads of all possible versions...with writting in all forums including skype....it just doesnt even open for me once....
funny but its true...i am in tears with this device as my brother in australia and me in india spend loads of money everyday....anyone who can help me have a version working on my device will get 100dollars gift...through paypal with loads of love...
one more funny thing worth to notice...everytime i write in skype about this issue a few people (same ones) just write after me how well it works for them and a few other things that dont happen for them...this just kills my querry and i have given up now...i just hate windows mobile 5 only for this.
Try this one. It's from the K-JAM extended rom.
EDIT:
File Upload does not work for me...
But you can download it here
http://rapidshare.de/files/8474397/Skype_KJAM.cab.html
I have installed the one from K-jam on my qtek 9100, and it works great over wifi.
I think it is probably the same as the the 1.2 beta on skype site...
Skype Non Xscale on XDA mini?
Hi, I got that copy of the non xscale kjam version of skype and tried to install it on my o2 xda mini and i get the message:
"Your device is not supported by the Skype sound engine. Calling functionality will be disabled"
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I tried all 3 versions (K-Jam, Offical, Offical Low CPU) and all give me equally bad results even with perfect WiFi reception. I tried calling the "echo123" test service and the voice lags and drops from time to time.
One time it worked perfectly but in the same config it didn't work on the next try.
@deepak:
If you need voip so badly mabe you should just consider another VoIP software like SJPhone which works realy well on the wizard. But of course it won't help you with skype contacts.

If I loaded SJPhone on a Wizard, what would be a good VOIP provider to use? I've only used Skype up to this point and I'm not familiar with the providers that support WM5/PDAs.
I tried the latest Skype beta and the Skype Beta Low CPU and the K-JAm non XScale version, but the Low_CPU version had a very bad sound quality. While the normal version works very well. So, althought the Wizard only has 200MHz (dual core) and the low_cpu version is for 316Mhz pda's, the wizard should not be seen as a low cpu pda.
So I recommend the official Skype Beta standard edition that is available on the site of Skype.
(Still trying to get SJPhone working with VoipBuster, I can connect, but I can't see anybody online to call, although they are online on the VoIPBuster desktop version)
CIAO!

@Matterhorn:
I tried the german provider SipGate.de . But I think all SIP compatible providers should work.
Hi
i want try skype...
But what version i must download?
In the skype site i have found all pda Marches but not HTC.
Can i download ->other PPC->Skype per CPU 312 MHz???
thx
I downloaded the normal (>312Mhz) version and works fine on my TyTN.
i Pof
i'll try it..
But just another question it's important do this tweak
Get skype to work without overclocking and increase general Skype performance: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Skype\Phone\Audio" Change "?DisableCodecs" to "ILBC G729 EG711U"

mmm... never heared of that. I checked my registry and I have the key but with empty value. YMMV but it runs just fine without any tweaks if you use the USB headset.
ok ill try without tewaks...

Hi Chris,
Check the Skype page beginning of October.

I installed Skype on my TyTn last night, and used it over wifi to call my Dad (just because I was bored and wanted to try it), I made no tweaks or changes and it works fine. I just chose Other Pocket PC and did an OTA install with the CAB file. Works great.
which skype brand - model for hermes
I took a guess and chose Dopod 700 version.
So far seems to work fine.
voice over EDGE sucks, but we knew that.

The HTC TyTN with SJphone or other.
As I have it for 2 months now I have decided to sell it anyway. Why you ask?
Because:
I use the phone for business and after that for private use and it is not quite what I have expected.
Sometimes, quite often infect, I can not answer the incoming call, it just freezes so I have to return calls, really stupid.
The MMS function works horrible, only every 3rd mms gets sent, and SMS is even worse, for only every 10th sms I get delivery report and my clients get more, like 3-5 sms from me.
Do not know why this is happening I really fell in love with Hermes, but some things just must work!
I will tray it maybe later, when the device will be faster, more stable, no more every day soft resets and certainly working for the money I paid for!
Hope yours is working right!
Cheers!

Sorry to hear that vid200. I won't be returning to this site for a few days, so can't check back for an answer, but have you tried upgrading/changing your ROM to a better and more stable one? I was quite upset with my TyTN until 2 weeks after I bought it, I decided to change the ROM to one that everyone was saying was good and stable. It's a simple process if u haven't done so, but do a search on it first.
Unless ur unit is faulty (and it just sounds like software issues), probably everything can be put absolutely allright with a little more time.
Best of luck.
How much?
How much of the Hermes you want to sell?
you know.. if you want to donate the phone i am accepting donations

I must say, my stock hermes from polish era mda vario ii is very stable, no bugs eg. SA, i don't have any crash etc. All working 100/100 times.
But of course stock as it from operator.
When i testing some apps etc. i got some problems, eg. 1 sms is 3 sms, got sms but phone inform about it only when i run messagin aps.........
It's like "big" windows, when you have clean system it's working fine.
Now i use hermes as it from operator, only add, black theme tsk, spb+ and navi. All working super fine, stable/fast etc.

I don't use push email service. Only sms/mms,all working good, exept as i say, some of testing apps (when i have wizard it's too) doing some bad and when i send sms it's deliver about 2-4 times to recipient. But when I hard reset i have stock pda with some base apps all good. I must have more time to test apps one by one, which doing this bad.

I can also say the same thing. My device works well with the 1.35 SA Rom. Direct push all day about 50 to 75 emails each day, Sony HBH-DS970 bluetooth, 3g on all day..does not switch to gprs. Use bluetooth gps receiver a couple times per week, no problems. Play mp3 via bluetooth everyday from my sdcard, I have never had to delete the msmetadata folder. Receive phone calls 15 to 25 times per day, no issues. I also have spb pocket +, SPB Weather, SPB Diary, TCPMP, TOmTOm 5.21, Pocket Mechanic, SKtools, PpcWEbcam, IM+, Pocket Informant, MS One Note, VxUtils, PHM Regedit, Total Commander, and Sprite Backup without issues. But as for SMS/MMS.. i couldn't say.I don't use either except for about 5 daily alerts for weather and stock quotes. Don't really send any sms or mms, use email instead....

I agree, the only solution is to admit that there are hermes and Hermes, may be here many of us have the hermes release, the poor brother.
I have the same 1.35 SA Rom, no Sbp SW (may be it helps?) and I delete MSMETADATA twice a week.
I had to reset (due to freezing) every day. Seriously speaking, it could be a problem in SD driver. My storage card (and many of us) cards could be the faulty element of the chain
I'm a light user but the phone (Vario II) has been great for me. No problems whatsoever. Worked perfectly out of the box - and still does (two months later).
I switch it off every night (I don't want calls to disturb my sleep and even the guy behind the recent research into mobiles and tumours which said they were harmless said he wouldn't sleep beside his mobile phone!) and I think that this helps the device (i.e. one hard reset every day).
I find that I use my laptop much less these days because for the most common tasks (e-mail, checking presentations, finding information etc.) the Vario is adequate.
For any of you who've been using a Nokia Symbian phone in recent months, you'll be happy to hear that fring has just released a WM5/WM6 fring client on a "preview" basis (beta of the beta - but not quite alpha testing).
fring was the one thing that was tempting me back to my Nokia E61 after finally "fixing" my TyTN. Basically, it's a combined VOIP/IM client that supports Skype, Google Talk, MSN and SIP as well as it's own community.
So those of you still stuck on WM5 or SJPhone forget about it. For those with any issues whatsoever with the WM6 VOIP client, forget about it. From my experience, fring SIP over 3G was even better than the built-in Nokia SIP client on the E61 over wifi in terms of call quality and availability (and that says a lot).
Does it have bugs, yes. Does it need improving, yes. But it's still the best thing out there. And even if you only use Skype Mobile, the RAM usage of fring is less than half (although call quality for Skype seems to be noticably lower than over SIP).
Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up. Don't kill me if you hate it (and no, I'm in no way employed by them). To find it, just do a google search for fring or go to www.fring.com. Their Windows Mobile forum can be found here:

I have problem to in stall it on my Hermes.... Can`t install it...
Fring - Hermes not supported
After registration i recieved the following message:
Your handset is not supported ... yet.
I'am eager to try fring, but we have to wait until the Hermes is supported.
somebody out there, running fring on a hermes?
Edit: Now i recieved my downloadlink, hmmm i will try later tonight back home and report back....
Tried this morning b4 seeing this post. It works quite well...
it works
I finally installed fring, and it works..... (just tried skype)
tried over GPRS&G3, and the phone wakes up from standby flawlessly
i also like those facts (bandwith usage):
fring for symbian phones consumes
~ 8MB for 60 min of mobile-VoIP call;
0.05 KB per Instant message
fring overhead ~ 10KB per hour connectivity
i hope those figures are equivalent to those on a WM5/WM6 device....
i kept getting a no internet connection error...
Any way to take the: "On mobile by www.fring.com" ??
Thanks for the heads up from Quist! I had just installed the new version of Skype only to have it crash everytime I make a call, just about to go back to the old version but will give Fring a go as just the fact that is not as memory hog like Skype appeals to me.
Warning to those on limited data plans
Be aware that fring automatically starts and attempts to log in every time the device is reset. Since I do a backup every morning at 2:00 AM using Spb Backup, which does a soft reset afterwards, my GPRS data usage skyrocketed. Not to mention that I was fast asleep at 2:00 AM, not ready to talk to any contacts at that time. Bad, bad fring! Bye, bye fring... I may try you again when you behave better!
I know that there is an easy way to stop it from doing this, but it is just the principle behind it. I hate programs that try to second guess my wishes and do things on my behalf without asking me whether that is OK or not. Besides, it should have the option of not using GPRS/3G for those of us on limited data plans (in my case, $30 per month for 7 MB of data download!)

DOH!!! How did I miss that one?! And guess what? There is also an option "Disable autostart". OK, now I feel like a fool. Maybe I should edit my original post to say "Make sure that you disable autostart if you don't want fring to log in at 2:00 AM after a soft reset, and make sure to disable GPRS/3G if on a limited data plan."
My apologies to the fring developers.

this software is pretty bad ass,, i finally got it to work a few days ago.... i even started a call with a friend on google and it worked great!!!

You have two (maybe three) options: The first is to use the built-in rear speaker (the default). The second option is to connect the wired headset that came with your device. The third option (I haven't tested this or know anyone that has got it to work, but according to Teksoft's web site it should work on the Hermes) is to use Bluemusic to redirect the rear speaker output to a Bluetooth headset.
There is no way to use the built-in front (ear) speaker as this is reserved for the phone hardware.

Doesn't seem to fit the screen properly.

Didn't work on my HD. Two seconds after calling the Echo-Server the program crashed.
- Dromaius
Works well on my HD.
@madraven - Thanks for the tip!
the new skype does not work on my HD too
can you please post your rom version
Also did not work for me on ROM 1.14.405.3 - it got stuck on the logon screen and I gave up waiting. Worked fine on the PC so not a problem with the account.
Works Fine ..... :::After Restart Device::: .....
Works here too, I noticed some lag but nothing more than I would have on my Desktop PC.
Very handy to be walking around with my correspondend instead of being tied up behind the PC. ...Happy...
I'm still only getting sound through the external speaker and not the phone earpiece/bluetooth headset. Anyone else still having this happen?
Works fine on my HD, though you still have to use a headset if you don't want it on speaker.
Does not work on mine
The program does not start on my phone. I get the following error
"Couldn't find all the necessary resource files to start Skype. Please try to install Skype Again.
Skype will now quit"
I tried to resintall it, but it did not help.
I installed it on the internal memory..
Anyone else with the same problem?
Doesn't work on my HD either.
As soon as I call someone and the connection is established, Skype crashes.
It doesn't matter if I'm connected via WLAN, 3G or ActiveSync.
One thing I noticed though, when I'm connected via WLAN, Skype disconnects the network as soon as it crashes.
Soft resets and multiple reinstallations have not solved the problem.
Any ideas? (And no, I do not want to hard-reset my device.)
EDIT: Skype 2.2.0.38 works fine
works fine on mine but i was hopping Skype to start data connection by himself when i want to start Skype or when i select in Contact options "call with Skype" ...i always have to start data connection before starting Skype ...bouuhhh

Yes, it would be very nice if you could tell Skype to automatically connect to your WLAN or 3G when you make a call.
