Hi
according to this video from JKontherun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1nlwLJefZE
skype is not working well on the shift, i dont seem to have any problems with it, but i havent used it that much, anybody run in to any problems?
Maybe it is the us version that have problems only
regards,
Allan
I find Skype video conference call performance to be pretty poor (at least with Aero on) using both the GSM and CDMA versions of the Shift. I haven't found an Intel A110 800MHz UMPC yet that handles Skype video calls smoothly under Vista .
Maybe with a little overclocking it will help Skype performance. I use Skype myself so when I get my device I hope we can get the overclocking resolved and see what happens.
Anyone take performance measurements to see what else, if anything, is tagging CPU and RAM when Skype is running? Maybe it will help if Vista itself is optimized a little.
skype is horrible in performances .. i have never been able to have a good video conference with skype .. it is the worst application ever :/

Have you ever tried ICQ's video conf? I tried it a few years back and it was awesome.

i don't remember that there was video conf on ICQ ! I should have tried but I was not a big ICQ user, and I haven't used ICQ for about 4 years.
I'd like Windows Live Call to be working here in Belgium .. because I have found that WinLiveMessenger was better than skype for video conf and audio call but the phone ability is not working here
So i've been doing some experiments and found a peculiarity... first i disabled all the Vista special effects (optimised for performance) and then stopped anything extra from starting up to conserve CPU and memory.
Now when i run Skype 3.6 and make a test call the CPU settles around 80% and if i use the inbuilt mic and speakers everything is fine. Audio quality is actually pretty good.
The problems start when i plug the headset in that came with the shift. Then, no matter how i try, the audio from the mic is choppy and makes a call impossible...
I tried to update the Realtek drivers but it says that they are the latest...
What's going on here? Why would it perform so poorly when i use the inbuilt headset? (i assume the mic's not broken...)
Anyone else had these troubles? Any suggestions? Would other audio drivers work?
Btw, i've also managed to do some pretty acceptable Video calls now too.

i bet once ltxda gets some time and the device he will get skype or a good alternative working well on the shift. btw, does video confrencing using the cam via windows live messenger work?

Video confewrence works in windows live messenger with the built in cam. with aero and co running it lags little bit but works.

so i guess it just sucks under vista. kind of expected since i dont think the tablet edition uses as much resources as vista.
i remove virtual disk of winxp, there about 500M ram free, winxp and the application software under the system runs very fluently，and the LED of HD seldom flash.

nice find. looks like we all should go to xp tablet edition. or maybe ltxda will be able to optimize vista for us.
Hi, sounds excellent to me. Any chance of a "how to" guide for getting to where you are bg4qqz? i.e. Win XP Tablet + removing the virtual disk?
just use USB DVD driver to install winxp tablet, I tried 3 unit of DVD drivers, only one works, others two failed to installation system, just show blue screen with erro withe chats, then reboot.
I don't have xp drivers for WLAN, touch screen, BT and resolution button. others worked well
in my office, i use USB lan adapter, keyboard, and big LCD monitior work with shift to replace desktop, out side, i use shift edge connection for xp, and HTC S1 as the wifi adapter for shift.
Hope you guys get the drivers for xp done soon.

Hello,
We all know our bluetooth 3.0 is missing something like HID ( am i correct? )
And because of that we can't connect bluetooth devices to it, like Keyboards and Game controllers... Even heard some bluetooth stereo sets won't connect to it, like BMW's embedded ones ( am I correct again? xD )
Has samsung said anything about this HUGE issue? I find it HUGE because it is the only wall i "see" between using the full potential of this device or not using it and think how it would be if i could....
Best regards
BT is not damaged, so there is no fixing
but it can be improved to include more profiles to support more devices
supposedly in 2.2 we might get additional hardware support like the BT keyboards, mouse and such

That would mean a profile which would allow us to finally connect a WiiMote ?
And in my opinion the BT is damaged, and needs fixing, it is unacceptable not being able to connect a Bluetooth headset to your 450€ Device
That is how i see things, others may not see it that way, but hey, we are free to have our own opinions right?
as it is right now
the BT is able to connect to standard mono headsets, and stereo headsets
as well as GPS satellite, and Car Stereos (i use it all the time great base/sub!)
it has profiles to transfer files via BT
from my point of view it's pretty complete, with the minor exception of the missing HID keyboard/mouse/game controllers support
the missing BT Profile is more like a missing Driver to support those last 3 devices
Just install blue input or get apps from google to install kb hid. Bt isn't missing anything in sgs. Screw wii input. How many. Normal bt devices do you know can accept wii as input without 3rd party drivers

install this app/driver
Wiimote controller
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid
I'm pretty sure that Vibrant/SGS isn't supported by that application, AllGamer.

Where is your proof? If that's the case then why did they make wii 3rd party driver? Seriously if you are going to ***** over a small thing like wii remote and kb hid (fixable if you find my bt kb fix in other postings ) then return the sgs and get a more mature phone like the google nexus one god phone. It seems everyone is whining and *****ing over nothing cosidering this phone is brand new without mature software. Every phone has bugs.

Ironically enough, your "fix" was posted on the forum for the product on dealextreme, doesn't say what phone the fix is for, and doesn't work on the SGS.
BT is missing something in the SGS - the 3rd party apps you believe would fix the issue don't work. hcitool doesn't recognise a local BT device, and so can't connect to anything, all the wiimote apps error on connection - this is not a lack of profiles, it's a lack of (or at the very least, different; different enough to cause a whole host of devices and 3rd party apps to be incompatible with the SGS) implementation one way or another.
Please, try your fixes before you go preaching "screw wii input".

My proof?
G1, Magic, Desire, Nexus , Milestone and X10 Mini Pro all have HID drivers... I tested them all.
You should know that by now, every Vanilla android device and devices with vanilla intact BT connect to wiimotes...

Hey!
How do you use your Galaxy as an MP3 player for car audio?! You said good Bass, but isn't bluetooth audio only MONO?
Thanks
I tried as well, it was stereo and worked great!

Perhaps he connected it to something with proper bluetooth compatibility, so it didn't matter that the SGS has BT3.0 as backward compatibility worked as it should?

I Tried Twice To Connect via Bluetooth with both my laptop and another phone but It Always says service not supported and I couldn't Receive any files through Bluetooth, although it pairs fine.
any Ideas?
Thanx in advance
You can only pair with a headset with WP7 as of now. It won't pair with computers and other mobile devices, but I'm sure someone is working on getting it to work.
And this is for all WP7 devices right now not just HD2.

How do you guys connect your BT headsets?
Cause my phone does find other phones but it does not find my BT headset..... :S
Please help me out! I need Handsfree for my daily life.
Hey Guys my Bluetooth those not work when ever i try to send something it does nothing.
I believe its not possible to send files with bluetooth in WP7.

Anyone else feel that as fluid as WP7 is, it's too reminiscent of an early iPhone with all it's limitations? Bluetooth, multitasking, file exchange, tethering etc.?
Thank you guys for the info thats kind of lame most people think wp7 is more high tech than most os but they just killed it with the bluetooth.
Hi guys I got the Arc and absolutely loving it..but got a small problem..I cannot connect the bluetooth headset the phone does not find it..The 1st time it was connected to a N95 and worked fine..Now I have unpaired form the 95 but still the arc does not find it when searched..Any solution..
Thanks
Which bluwtooth headset is it?
its the standard one i got with the phone...The one that you got to plug in ur headset..So its not like wireless..

Yeah it is for the phone option...I connected it to a N95 first could that be the reason?? is there a way to reset?
you got to just search in the bluetooth option in settings right??
Still got the problem..
I think the issue is due to the lack of knowledge on how to "pair" the headset with the phone.
@OP, you have to press the power button and hold it until you see two arrows circulating.. then you will be able to pair with the phone.
Try reading the manual for better understanding
