hey guy
Why is there is not skype available in market?
Is it because no support on honeycomb
I've got it installed. Didn't do an thing but search Skype
Thanks.. I manged to get skype installed from the skype website.
however i found that when i call the echo test to make a test call. My voice is very poor. Could hear lot of noise that device records. Has any one notices it?
I am pretty sure that its not my internet connection, as if i do a test call from PC it works like a charme..
I just tried it once and it wasn't great. GTalk works better.

I was able to get Internet Calling (integrated VoIP) on the mogul working with the Gizmo VoIP service. The big problem is that the volume is so low it is pretty much unusable. I followed all of the guides here on xda and came up with the same issue as everyone else; i could not get internet calling to show up on the today screen and i did not have any of the internet options under the phone settings. What solved it for me was Schap's Setup VoIP tool version .3. This tools gives us the ability to now set the items that us Mogul users do not have available under the phone settings.
In a nut shell:
1) install WM6VoIP.CAB then reboot
2) install SetupVoIP_v0.3.cab (Schap's VoIP tool)
3) open Schap's config tool and set:
a) all of your SIP settings.b) Set outgoing calls using VoIP to Whenever available.c) enable VoIP over 3G.
Now when you go to your phone dialer it should now show the name of your VoIP service at the top rather than your carrier (Sprint PCS in my case). You will have to force your internet to connect first (i use PIE to start my internet connections up, not sure of a better way to do this.) Now you will be able to make and receive VoIP calls. I have verified this by calling another phone and seeing that the caller ID is from my VoIP. I have also been able to stay on a call and browse the web at the same time (not normally possible on sprint). The 1X icon never appears over my Evo icon while on the phone now. Interestingly enough i could not get this to work over WiFi, it would only work on Evdo.
This integrated VoIP is so seamless that it pains me to use another app just because of this volume issue. I have tried:
Skype. Works great, but not with Gizmo.
SJPhone. Works with Gizmo, but is VERY choppy.
GoSip. Works great with Gizmo, but is very big and slows the phone down.
Fring. Works great with Gizmo and the mem usage is great, but has no dial pad and that pretty much makes the app useless.
Wengo. Works great with Gizmo. Mem usage is on the big side, but is manageable. Seems to be the best for me so far.
I have tried many others that either work as dial out only or only work with their makers SIP service.
Any other ideas or thoughts?
Thanks,
JD
You got the mic working using Fring ? I always got one way audio
What version of WM6VoIP.CAB did you use ?
The mic did work for me on fring. However, the instant that i realized that i didn't have a dialpad i removed it. I use VoIP mostly for conference calls and i need to be able to enter in conference room passwords.
How would i be able to tell what version of WM6VoIP.CAB i am using? I cannot find version information anywhere.
JD
You are lucky with the Fring since there is many complaints from Mogul owners that Mic doesn't work
What version did you use ?
When I was searching for the WM6VoIP.CAB there was indication that there is some new version but the link was dead when I tried to download
Can you please post it here?
When i tried Fring it was a few months ago and i don't remember the version number. I do remember using my bluetooth headset for SIP rather than the internal mic and speaker. I just tried the newest version of fring (downloaded last night) and my internal mic and bluetooth headset now do not work for SIP. Interesting.
For WM6VoIP.cab I searched here on XDA and downloaded the first link i found. Here is the one that i used, not sure if there is a newer version? http://218.93.115.138/d900/patch/WM6VoIP.CAB

That's the same I'm using ... I did read some article about this couple weeks ago ( can't find it) where there was reference and non working link to new version of this file.
Did you read this post ? :
http://www.eten-users.eu/lofiversion/index.php/t8854.html
There is reference to switch.cab ( can't find link to download it )
switch.cab
Try this:

I did, it did install ok but it doesn't work
Thanks
well i tried the configuration and everything, but the thing is that when i try to call out it says dialing then it says call ended, like it doesn't even ring. I entered the correct settings and everything.
I did everything and it DOES NOT show on my Today screen, I see the item "Internet Calling" checked in the today screen options. Any ideas?

No, I have a Sprint Mogul with the "unofficial" leaked GPS rom. Anyone else know how to fix this? I really need this to work, thanks a lot.
It will not show on your today screen. When you go to your dialpad, the name of your VOIP provider should be listed at the top rather than sprint. If it shows that then you should be good to go.

When you make a call, does the sound come through the earpiece or the speakerphone?
How can I have the sound coming from the speaker on the screen side instead of the back speaker?
Thanks!
I'm afraid you can't
I am trying to instal skype on my 8525 which has been upgraded to WM6. For some reason I am unable to use it. When I run Skype it starts , logs me in and shows a list of my friends. But they all appear offline. I can however see the Echo test as green and online. I also able to make the test call. Another wierd thing that I notice is that I can perform user searches on skype. Skype detects my friends and lets me add my friends to the list. However they tell me they never see me online even when I am logged in. I am not sure if I am using the correct version of skype of my phone since during installation it asks me if I want to install skype for pocketpc.
Any help / recommendation will be highly apppreciated ...
Skype 2.2.0.18 in TYTN works ok
Hi,
I am using Skype ver2.2.0.18 on my TYTN and do not have the problem you described.
I never tried it via 3G connection, but only WIFI.
Making calls works OK, meaning not as good as from my laptop, but good enough to have a conversation.
My PPC Skype takes up to 90sec to show online contacts and I quess that also my friends only see me online after this short delay.
Echo/Sound test service is always green right from the start, while real contact show green after above mentioned delay.
Regards,
ARo
I just cooked a rom with voip builtin. I created two tpad accounts to test with and entered the account information. I then set it to default to voip whenever its available and to use 3g. If I dial its tpad number it will now ring and answer the call over both 3g and wifi. So far so good. While it will only use the rear speaker,I found that if you connect a bluetooth headset and choose handsfree mode from the dialer,it switches to the bt headset and works perfectly. I havent gotten it to dial out yet,but I think thats just the dialplan (and I havent really worked on that yet).
The big problem I have had is getting the today plugin to work. Its listed in the today settings but I check the box and even reboot but it does not appear on the today screen. Ive searched and searched but found that others have had the problem,but not found a solution.
I dont mean to be rude here,but reading the other threads,someone allways chimes in and derails the conversation by suggesting their favorite VOIP software. Im not interested in Fring or Skype or Gizmo. I know all about them,and I dont want to use them.
If I can get the today plugin to work,VOIP seems very usable.
Ok, so apparently according to the reviews of the Skype app for Android, there is a non-verizon version (people on at&t were saying they got wifi). Is this true? And does anyone know how I can get this version on my phone so I can stop relying on the crappy reception I get at my house?
You may try Fring instead Skype. It's support also others Voip and SIP protocols. Just download it from market.
Fring looks sweet, but I'm having trouble with it on my moto droid. I tried answering a call on skype, and they could hear my voice but I could not hear anything on my end. Even the test call failed. Skype seems to work fine for me, but it is buggy, and I'm unable to place group calls. Also no wifi sucks too. If there is a version that supports wifi, please update this thread!

have u tried Nimbuzz?
skype pull out from nimbuzz and fring.. sigh.
nimbuzz is still working.. but it is bad compared to skype.. got 5 sec lag.. and i can't really hear myself during the "echo123" test..
Hey guys!
I downloaded Nimbuzz today to use it for making calls via Skype, but I've got a major problem: While I can hear the other party perfectly, they only hear strange screaching noises coming from me...
I also tried using the skype echo123 service...same problem. I can hear perfectly but my recorded voice is completely distorted...sounds kinda like an old 56k modem dialing...
I tried it via 3G and WIFI its always the same.
Do you have any Ideas whats wrong and how it can be fixed?
Phone is a debranded and rooted X10i running 026 firmware.
Thanks!
I haven't had a problem with skype-to-skype calls yet... Maybe try uninstalling the apk, and reinstalling it?
when I use, I have a delay, like I say something and person listen for like a sec or 2 and then speak and I have to wait to get the reply. I am on wifi though

... Based on your username, I'm going to assume that this is a troll account... otherwise, how else would you miss the fact that this thread has "USING NIMBUZZ" in it's title.
I hate my life.
I reflashed yesterday, the quality of the recording to the echo service improved slightly, but now nobody can hear a thing from me when making "regular" skype calls...
Looks like I'll just have to wait for 2.1 and the official skype client then...
Hmmm. I just tried a 3G call via Nimbuzz to the echo123 account and it worked perfectly.
Are you using an external mic or the phone's mic?
I used the internal mic... but the bigger problem is that I can't hear the other side...except when calling the echo... they can hear me and the echo recording sounds like calling Mars but at least its understandable...
Exactly the same problem here, only tried over wifi
i think skype and nimbuzz are no longer friends....
what are you using now?
