VOIP questions - HD2 General

I have done some research and there is tons of apps for Droid and Apple but not much for WM, even skype stopped producing for WM.
I want to make calls using Wifi on myphone, any apps that allow that?
Even if there is charging for it, just want to find a way how,
any thing on line beats paying international rates.
Please advise, leaving in two days.
Thank you.

Skype still works on WinMo, it just hasn't been updated in ages. You can also use Fring to talk to Skype people. Both work over WiFi or 3G. Use the search here on the forums to find a link to Skype 3.0, the last version they made I do belive.

Thank you for the reply, Fring I looked at but all the download versions they have are for droid none are WM so it wont install.
Ill try to find the skype version, thank you again.

I've used this one and it works great..

There are ways you can setup your phone to use VOIP with the native dialer too - let me know if you want to give that a try.
You can also try sjPhone http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html which also works just fine but it eats up a lot of CPU time.

Thank you for the info, I downloaded the Ageet one, got it installed but cannot figure out how to set it up, keeps giving me SIP network errors, I am assuming I need to make an account with one of the SIP carriers?
Please advise, I leave in two days.
Thanx

[REQ] Working VOIP SIP Program

So I have tried numerous VOIP SIP programs but none seem to work fully.. I have gotten some with work fine, but the major problem with those is that there is not wake up when I receive a VOIP SIP call.. this means that I have to force the phone to not go to standby which drains the battery very quickly (WIFI is also running)
Has anyone got a program that fully works?
Have also tried the internet calling feature on the phone itself but there are alot of problems I get with that
I too have yet to find a good solution, did you find one that worked well?
I am also looking for the same.
Still have not found one that will work properly
Isn't voip support included in WinMo? IIRC I almost got it working with my Touch Pro.

I remember hearing somewhere that WinMo natively supports VoIP, but the carriers cripple that feature before selling the phones. There are some hacks to fix that, but the ones I've run across looked complicated and I didn't attempt them. Unfortunately, I don't remember where to find the instructions. Maybe someone who does could post a link.

Skype Mobile

Im not exactly sure how it ended up on my original build, i think i went to skype.com/m and just downloaded it, but when i do that now (with the new rom) it says "there's no version for your phone"
Is their a way i can get it installed again now that ive flashed a cooked rom? (as i don't see it already in the rom itself.)
As usual, i find the answer soon after making a post.

skype mobile
looks like skype does not want to support WM anymore...
skype page says:
"Skype Lite and Skype for Windows Mobile are no longer available. For more information click here."
May be the community will be able to change their mind...
If you want to support have a look on ipetitions for keepskypealiveonwm
Problems with Skype mobile
On my phone sky mobile runs only thru loud speaker. Maybe it is a good thing that skype discontinued support for Windows Mobile, no one has to waste time on that crappy thing anymore. I always switch to desktop when I receive or have to make skype calls.
Go to Skype.com and download the .cab file.
can somebody upload the cab file here... skype site is blocked from here, but not the software service... having hardtime to download the cab...thanks in advance
you can still get it from here:
skype (dot) com/intl/en/download/skype/windowsmobile/
but the WM support is according to golem.de deffinetly over now
That's a shame, it was working quite well through a headset...

The download is actually a 10.5MB .exe package, so I can't even zip it up and attach here. If you have e-mail that can accept a file that big, PM me and I'll be happy to get it to you that way
EDIT: I actually have just the .cab too after all...but it's even bigger (11.5MB)

I was really hoping this thread would have said "Hey, skype isn't going through speakerphone anymore on the TP2..." but no such luck. If Skype had no intention of fixing that horrible issue, then I really have no interest in its service on my mobile, anyway. It is disappointing, however, I used to use it on my Blackjack II and it worked great.

But not by itself. You have to use Audioroute (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware), this program will route any sound either to the earspeaker or backspeaker. Just start it before Skype and you'll be able to use it like doing a regular phonecall.

Thanks, it seems useful, but not really enough. Personally I like to leave Skype active as a second line on the phone... which means I'd have to manually start it before every call (even incoming). If I were to just start it up on occasion to make a call, it'd be an easy Mortscript, but I'll have to see if there is something a little more sophisticated that I can write.
i just used skype today on my TP2 with the sound piped to my bluetooth earpiece. no issue at all and no 3rd party software required

Thanks. Now the only problem is my ear will touch some certain onscreen buttons and get in the way and when I turn the screen off, skype phone conversation stops working. I know a simple earpiece or bluetooth device solves everything but I don't like using neither.
Is there any other way I can turn off the screen and still have a phone conversation on skype?

It does not work in the way it does on 3 phones and they currently do not have any supported winmo phones so what phone do you have and was it supplied by 3.
3 phones have a special skype app bundled with them which detects that a 3 phone its being used as well as a legit 3 account. If neither are detected then the skype over 3 GSM network does not give free skype to skype calls.

i did, and i found the Java version (.jad and .jar files), and i know there is Windows Mobile version of Skype but it will use DATA and charge for it... Three UK on thair own phones uses GSM channel to handle the call making it "data free"
the links in the links in the first post are dead and its stilla Java version of skype not the WinMo version ...
if u think ur thread have usfull info in it, can u post a link ?
and another reason for not doing proper search is that some results date back to 2008, and begging of of 2009
since then Skype stop development of skype for Windows Mobile, Three had relased new phones etc... things changed since...

Fortunately thats not how it works at all.
All 3 does is detect that the data is for skype and let it pass through uncharged. No complex phone or app checking.
edit: Hmm looks like I was wrong... Their credit check system is slow, unless something else used my credit.

You are incorrect in your assertion!
The 3 app is specifically written for sole use on their phones and their network.
You can't use it on an unrecognized phone as the dialer will simply not connect.

Speech Text Messaging?

Ok, so my city recently passed a huge ban on cell phone use while driving. I know I can have my phone reac any new message to me wehn it is received and I currently have it set up to do so. However, I have heard of other phone coming with a speech to text feature. Is there a wway to get something like this on the TPS where I can speak the reply to a text and be able to send it that way?
I don't know of any specific apps that do this, but I'm sure they're out there considering Bling and Google Maps have this technology.
I dont recomend trying to text while driving & dont like applications where you use voice commands but you should try this one
Code:
http://vitotechnology.com/voice2go.html
(not free but you could try the tial) it lets you control your whole phone by voice and you could add custom commands but im not sure if you could set it up to reply to sms.
ps: by the way nice to see another member from el paso

This would be a very cool feature! I am interested in this also. Can anybody help out with this?
microsoft tell me
i had it on my phone ported from i think a samsung device.
it didnt fit too well with the screen resolution and whatnot, but it worked.
although it doesn't work if you have an accent or if you want to send messages to someone who has a rather unusual name
i went to a At&T store for help with something with a friend, he had and still has a verizon blackberry curve but anyways one of the associates there had a blackberry and showed him a whole buch of apps he got from a certian website (dont remember what it was) and one of them was a talk to text app and it work almost perfectly. ive been searcing for an app like that for windows mobile ever since then and that was almost 2 yrs ago!!!! i also just found out a few days ago from my girlfriend that theres a app like that for her iphone. i seriously dont know what microsoft is doin but they need to step their game up and to all the developers out there, you need to beat them to the punch!!!

Ok, so I found a few cabs for TellMe, but they all crash shortly after launching. Any ideas?

I use TellMeText Version 1.1.0 on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2. It installs and works okay. If the installation crashes, the best thing is to redownload it until it works fine. Also try the app on different ROMS.
I have used it on ARK_N's ROMS as well as on Leo Cell ROMS.
Make sure (I think) you install BlondieSoft_MobileCertificates cab prior to the intallation of the TellMeText cab.
Hopefully this should help.
Why not sooner.
If someone can rip the install from the Samsung Intrepid I think we can get something going.
The only other option is Vlingo and it is buggy at best, you can search the forums and people have had spotty success with it.
This could be a real difference breaker at this point in time in the Mobile Phone wars, I don't know why someone hasn't jumped on it and capitalized, tons of apps already use voice recognition (bing, google) for driving directions, I don't know why in a world where people are dieing left and right from txting while driving someone hasn't jumped on this.

The tell me ap works for some and not for others.. I believe it has something to do with the carrier you are with. That said.. you guys are probably better of going over to the tell me thread and reading through that to figure out how to get it working on your phone. I personally gave up. It would install fine on multiple roms I was running and as soon as I would to go speak a text to it it would just hang then give me some error.
Regardless... no sense in having multiple threads about the same thing!
Do a search in the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps forum and you'll find it.

TellMe does not work for AT&T customers on their network on anything but BlackBerry. I ran a packet trace and the packets leave the phone but there is NO response.
WiFi works fine but how often are you on WiFi on the go?
You need to install microsoft voice command FIRST then this. Just search, the cabs are posted.

No way I have ever found. Without headphones Skype on WM uses speakerphone capabilities only. I waited for Skype to fix this and the way the finally fixed is to drop support for WM all together.
Use this. Just route all audio to main ear piece before you start skype

I was able to use Skype via the earpiece on my Xperia X1 a few years ago. I think it was just an exception for the X1 since Skype had an exclusive X1 Panel for that particular WM fone. On my HTC TP2 right now, Skype uses the speakerphone. Bummer...

Skype Cab
I have an old beta cab which seems to work really well.. I use it all the time and have no problems... Guess it never got released. See if it works for you.
Skype
I love skype on my winmo, and have used it often. Audio Route IS the answer that i have found, and it does work great.
One issue with Audio Route, is the icon in the taskbar is affected by WIndows Mobile 6.5.5, and the icon shrinks to an almost unuseable state.
Are there any other options besides audio route for routing audio to the earpiece?
Thanks,
Brandon
Wow is this topic really that dead? I would think using skype on oUr windows mobile is still one of the better claims to fame.
So does anyone know of an audio route device that pays well with 6.5.x?
Sent from my MSM using XDA App
skype?
Hi, i use idialer for googlevoice calls:
http://www.supware.net/winmo/idialer/
works pretty well (need to update your webview.dll file if you have a newer (6.5) rom. But it works for google voice. not sure if it would work with gtalk/skype
