Hi there,
I was wondering if it is possible to use the download booster feature to do VOIP calls while driving.
I would use the internal modem (with one carrier) and an external 4G modem as WiFi source (with a different carrier) to make the internet signal globally more stable and be able to make VOIP calls while driving (with the handsfree )
It would be really useful, IMHO....
Is there any trick to do that ?
Thank you!
To be perfectly honest, I never saw a difference. i don't really know if this option works and if it does, I can only asume that it's like every cool feat. on the phone. Will only work with samsung software and nothing else.

Hello,
I have just upgraded to the official GPS ROM and I am on the Swedish 3 operator. I have noticed since the upgrade that the network connection is switching from 3G to HSDPA when there is a demand of bandwidth or simply when there is data in either direction.
I can see that the purpose of this was to make it possible and more reliable to place and receive calls during data sessions. I have figured out though, that with the old ROM, there was no such switching (but there was no distinction with the icon, so you really had no idea) and the connection speed was always constantly 1Mbits/s when using Internet Sharing for example. Now with the HSDPA/3G switching/throttling, the connection often drops down to 3G speeds and Skype-calls are lacking quality from this a bit when using Skype in the car which i do quite regularly nowadays using my Jabra JX-10 headset.
I also realize that there is still a problem with outgoing and incoming calls during these automaticly switched-on HSDPA-sessions. That is probably why HTC has decided to keep the HSDPA sessions as short as possible, that's fine, but what boggles me is the algorithm used for the switching. It seems to always kick in HSDPA in the beginning of a new data session, and after a short time of inactivity (while pondering what favourite page to open this time) the connection drops down to 3G and it won't kick back to HSDPA even when you start browsing again, until a certain period of "non-HSDPA-ratio" has been reached and the phone thinks it would be OK to kick in the highspeed again for a little while.
I also noticed that using Skype would keep HSDPA alive once you place a call from a fresh started data session and keep talking ;-)
This is not a particular problem to me, I was just wondering of anyone else here has noticed and had an idea of what the programmers had in mind?
BTW: I am running TomTom 6.010 and Franson GpsGate on the machine now and it works absolutely like a dream. I used to have a Blue-I Bluetooth GPS in the car (Trimble based chipset, only 8 channels but quite OK piece of hardware) but this is far superior when it comes to HOLDING a persistent fix also when moving indoors. The TTFF is quite fast as long as you are outdoors, most of the time i have a fix before i leave the parking space. I noticed there being a dynamic number of satellites of the receiver, sometimes i see 7 out of 8 satellites, and then sometimes i see 10 out of 12! Anyone noticed?
Thanks in advance! Cheers...
It’s not your phone that decide to change from HSDPA mode to normal R99 (384kbits) mode and vice versa. Everything are always controlled by the network. The behaviors that you describe are normal. Besides the HSDPA is quit new for the operators and new parameters needs to be tuned for best performance for every users.
BTW, the degradation that you notice. You are not alone that use HSDPA.... Its finally the big success for 3G
I use Phone Alarm profiles and BandSwitch to control my connection based on business hours. I get a poor singal unless on 3G where my office is located. I force it to GPRS otherwise to save battery.
I have similar problems, cannot receive or start calls when HSDPA connected. Shouldn't that be possible anyway, calling and transferring data at the same time? Or is this a network provider problem?
I too am on the Swedish operator 3. I have an unlocked, non-operator distributed HTC TyTN that I had updated the radio to 1.40xxx and the ROM to Black Dymond 3.5 and was having the exact same problem. I could reproduce the incoming call not getting through error every single time I got the phone to go into HSDPA mode.
After some initial searching I read somewhere it was network dependent (Nokia switches vs Ericsson) and the only way to solve it was to disable the HSDPA using e.g. HTweakC, which I did and it solved the problem, but then of course I couldn't take advantage of the high-speed data access, which was the major reason I got this phone.
I recently noticed that 3 released a new extended ROM with instructions to update the ROM to the latest (as is available on the ftp here) then install their ExtROM. I went to the trouble to try and breakdown what was in this extended ROM, but being a newbie to pocketpc it was all hyroglyphics to me, so I went ahead and installed it over my old HTC ext ROM (which I saved for later use just in case).
When I get around to it I may mount this extended ROM here (I have it, but don't have too much time to put it up right now, so someone may beat me to it).
Anyway, Black Dymond 3.5 didn't install the Extended ROM after a hard reset (assuming that was the intention), so I did it myself afterwards. One initial bug that showed up quickly was the Comm Manager not wanting to start saying it would only manage a max of 7 items (whatever that means). So I installed Schaps latest Comm Manager and it worked fine.
Well, guess what, now there's a daemond that starts on boot and the phone app is different (another bug is that the text on the phone app buttons remain in the 3 theme although I changed back to black, but that's minor), but now I cannot replicate the no incoming calls during HSDPA error.
Apparently they've added something that makes the phone connect properly to their 3G/HSDPA network for call handling. Now I've got full HSDPA speed and no problem on incoming calls (plus still have Black Dymond's great VOIP/SIP WM6 solution).
Ok, as a noob I of course missed the fact that the daemon starting at boot is Voice Commander. Still the actual phone app/dll is somehow different with this ExtROM and it's solved my problems.
Anyone else using skype on their Herald??? Have you been experiencing the I can hear you but you can't hear me problem??? Just started to use skype recently and I think its great, this is my only issue right now. Been searching through a few threads but themost relevant thread on this issue has about 100 pages. AFAIK the pdaviet roms include the VOIP configs in the rom....anyone got a fix???
I use skype on my herald (pdaviet rom version 14) every now and again. I get that "I can hear you but you can't hear me" thing frequently only when I use (tmobile edge)/gprs connection. I can only assume that the connection is not fast/reliable enough, which is why it's highly recommended that one use 3G or WIFI for skype calls. Being that tmobile doesn't have 3G service, my only other option to get better and clearer call quality with Skype, is to use WIFI. For me, using wifi with skype on my herald, the call/reception is much much clearer and more stable, and people on the other end notice very little difference in call quality. I don't expect skype calls to be as clear and analog or gprs anyway. But it'll do hope this helps.
Ye I guess that the issue is maybe poor signal quality then as I am catching a wi-fi signal from the basement to the second floor most of the time. Although, this problem doesn't happen with an HTC Vox I'm using, (just upgrading for a friend...for the record I think SP's are $#|T) ill make a few test calls with stronger signal...and hopefully this problem will disappear.
Thanks for the input
btw:thats a funny quote....lol.....had to think on that one for a second
hello
first, I use skype on my hermes 200 adsl connection via a USB or EDGE connection in both cases I had not heard the voice of my interloccuteurs (voice cuts) while they are listening
will become of the weakness of my connection or there a reason?
also, I install skype mobile beta lite (for symbian s60 v.2) on a Nokia N72 to communicate with my hermes 200 but I have not the icon of the call, and in the category of aid on I said that "the call will be possible after the upgrade skype when it will be available in your country"
could I have the icon of the call before skype lite mobile beta is available in my country knowing that they have not yet?
else, the audio chat it was possible between two windows mobile user?
Finally, set apart the MIDs (see here) http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm , are there other mobile devices capable of video chat skype? if not, they are the other software can do without 3G or wifi, personally I know 5: vochat, octro, tivi, imichat (under symbian), and microsoft portrait
and another that I could not operate: tabletmedia, of whether someone else could get it to tell me how?

Did you manage to get Skype working ok without it crashing out? The last time I tried Sykpe, I had to use Skype v2.2.020 - all the versions after that just crash and quit when I tried to use them to make calls etc.
The problem with the Hermes is that Skype almost completely maxes out the phone's CPU - you are going to struggle to have a decent conversation over Skype even using your ADSL connection.
I have successfully connected HD2 to the bluetooth feature in my MB C200. I can dial and make calls, even decline calls but cannot always answer calls by pressing the "answer" call in the car console. The phone just keeps ringing. It only works like 1 in 10 times. It is like the Bluetooth signal from the car is not been recognised by HD2.
I have tried most of the registry tweak suggested in this forum but it didn’t help. I use the Telstra model and have recently upgraded to the latest ROM but still no difference. Anyone else has this problem?
ROM: 1.72.841.0 (82124)
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
did you check the option in the phone settings to allow the phone call to be accepted by the bluetooth?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where is this option exactly? Can't seems to find it in the Personal->Phone settings.
Hi !
I've the exact same problem and I'm going nuts as I miss a lot of professional calls.
Does anyone find a solution ?
Never had any issues with my old good HD.
Hope it can be fixed.
BR
Nobody ?
I've tried the allow connection, but that doesn't helps at all.
Hope for a solution soon, otherwise the HD2 will go to trash right away.
Msg to HTC :
TEST YOUR PHONES ! and employ good developers and testers.
Too many bugs and non practical things with your devices.
I have found that whichever Voip program I use, I get poor voice quality on VOIP via UMTS or EDGE, whereas my old Nokia 6124 worked way better. I then saw this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945
and I wondered if there are any differences between the modems in terms of jitter, because that could be really messing up VOIP streams. My modem is now XXJP2. Has anyone tested various modems for voip reability?
Hi, I have been able to successfully use my SGS for VoIP regardless of the modem version. The program (stack) and codec you are using are more important in this respect. The main difference between Android VoIP solutions and Nokia's SIP is that on android sip drains battery like crazy unless you configure your pbx to connect an extension over TCP rather than UDP. Good luck!
