does anyone know why skype doesnt work on Ppc
What's your device? OS?
And what about Skype version?
I've got a Cruise and WM6 and Skype 2.2.0.37 works fine.
@+
I have titan and I used 6 & 6.1 wm and no worky
I have it working on WM6 on a Himalaya. How did you install it?
It seems to have trouble installing via cab and needs to be installed using the exe via Activesync (though I am sure there is a way to do it via a cab).
Perhaps you installed it to ramdisk and when your battery goes flat you've lost part of it?
Give us a bit more information of what part exactly isn't working.
Does it install or not?
Does it not launch when you click on it on your PPC?
Which version are you using?
etc
when i make a call i cant hear anyone and they cant hear me and i nstalled with active and cab both dont work
I have a Sprint Mogul also know as HTC TITAN PPC6800 and I just downloaded the SKYPE cab file for pocket pc from the SKYPE.com website and it works perfectly on my phone. I have been using it for over 4 months nows!
Clicking/Skipping during Echo123 call
Hey All--
I've had a Sprint Mogul for about 6 months now--just upgraded to the latest official EV-DO Rev.A ROM, and things seemed to be working a bit better for me (particularily battery-wise, the latest ROM seems to be a little more energy efficient).
So, I felt brave, and decided to give Skype a go. I've been waiting to look into it to fully utilize the WiFi with Skype--cheap and/or free calls from any free hotspot? yes please.--and finally installed the latest available version from the Skype website (can't rememebr the rev #--whatever the website recommends). Of course, it installs, and even calls the Echo123 number, but no sound.
Did a little more research, and found that it's the earlier betas (2.2.0.20 and 2.2.0.18) that seem to be working for people (apparently with mixed with results--some people say the sound quality is awful, some say it works like a charm).
I uninstalled the most recent Skype from the phone, powered down, and then I tried 2.2.0.20 beta--and lo and behold, I was able to hear and record from echo123, but there was a crackling noise (like a CD skipping) any time there was sound coming across the speakers (this is using both the loudspeaker and the included wired headset, also happeded on WiFi or EV-DO, with and without echo correction).
I then uninstalled 2.2.0.20 beta, powered down, and then tried 2.2.0.18. Exact same problem. The sound of my voice coming back on echo123 was actually slightly better than my regular phone; it's just that crcackling that I'm sure will drive me crazy and make the program unuseable.
Has anyone gotten Skype to work on the Mogul without that CD skip sound? I've read through all the forums here, on PPC Geeks, and SprintUsers, and have yet to find anyone definitifely getting great results who can explain how they got there. Is there some other codec or driver that I need to replace? Is there a certain kitchen ROM that will enable Skype to work?
Failing that, is there another program that I can use to make calls for free without having to sign up with an SIP? I also tried fring, but it didn't have any sound on the echo call either, just like the most recent Skype download. Any other suggestions? Seems like things like Octrotalk and SJphone al require setting up some sort of server, which might be fun, but don't really have the time or resources for right now.
I'm leaving for vacation in a few days, and would love to figure this out before I went...any help? Thanks...

Why don't you try FRING?
It can manage Msn, Yahoo, Skype and other SIP accounts.....
PS: It works correctly on my Touch.....
More updates
Well, I've been searching around, and it looks like WM6 doesn't natively handle VOIP (check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950)
I'm going to try to install these dlls and see how far I get...
Otherwise, I have tried fring, and excitingly, everything worked just fine in googletalk (actually the sound quality I got was *better* than a regular cell call)--except that the person I was talking to couldn't hear me. I could chat though, so at least we could communicate. Similarily, skype through fring to echo123 did not work--I connected, but no sound came through my mike.
I also tried a straight up Skype call (using the 2.2.0.18 beta), however the results were very disappointing. Sound had lots of skips, clicks, slowdowns. Don't see how it would be useful, and certainly not worth paying for.
Also installed Octrotalk--but was surprised to see no talk protocols in the program, just chat stuff through AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Also, the soft buttons (the two screen buttons usually on the left and right of the bottom) seem to be unlabelled--I can press them, but there's not text on them, so I didn't even think they were there at first. A bad install? Maybe my Java is outdated?
Anyway, the search continues...
I was wondering if anyone knows a fully compatible VOIP Service that will run perfectly on the titan?
I've tried skype, but when making calls, they cant hear you can you cant hear them. Beta version trick of skype (2.2.0.18/20) do not work on WM6.1. I've also tried Fring, but while you can hear people talking to you, they can not hear you talk to them (mic issue). I looked all over the net for a fix to this issue but none have been found.
I've only been using skype for a week and all the hype about it being the coolest voip service is quickly fading.....
So I was hoping someone could point me to a fully compatible with the titan VOIP service that runs perfectly.
I'm running DCD's 3.2.6 rom.
Thanks
Anyone out there?
are you in evdo coverage ?

I Think so
Me Too...
I would be interested in an answer to this question as well. I have unlimited EVDO coverage, so using the service over the network is not a problem for me.
You could try this :
http://www.ageet.com/us/products-agephone-mobile.htm
You need your own voip provider. I use http://les.net
Quality is so-so... Choppy audio... But maybe I haven't tried hard enough, there are lots of tweaks that can be done within the application.
Also, skype 2.1.0.66 works really well on DCD 3.2.0
cheers!
i guess a new version of skype was just released that works with the Mogul/Titan in WM6.1 and has audio!
Voip
As noted above, the latest skype mobile (version 2.5.0.108 BETA) will work on the mogul, but still uses the rear speaker.
I have also had some luck with installing WM6Voip.cab and SeuopVoip_v0.3.cab, and configuring the SIP to work with my provider (which is InterVoip). When I use this method, instead of showing Sprint on the dialpad it shows InterVoip as the service. Again it uses the rear speaker.
Third option is a program called AGE phone mobile 2 (which you have to purchase). This lets you set up multiple SIP's and presents its own dialpad. Still uses rear speaker though.
As you probably know, if you use a headset you get around the rear speaker problem.
All these programs/files are easily found with a search.
nimbuzz
If you use the latest version of skype in conjunction with skype account can use audio without rear speaker and gets better volume through headphones for me
what about with bluetooth? will this bypass the rear speaker?
Yes!
If you use BlueTooth headphone, it will bypass rear speakers!
Skype dec 10th Release for HTC P4000 on Telus!
There is a new Skype just released on DEC 10th that works on the P4000 on the telus 6.1 A-GPS ROM, just make sure u put echo cancelation on in options.
I just got my 2nd A500, installed Skype but it crashes more often than not. If it works then it works fine.
This is something i found at the skype forums... the exact same thing is happening with me

Sorry, I haven't been able to reproduce that result. Will keep trying though.
Do you have any other voip things running at the same time? Fring? Tango? Qik? GTalk? for eg. Just curious.
I have tried Gtalk, it works fine, will try Fring and Tango.

Oh I was just wondering if they were running on your device, where one app could cause another to possibly crash but it seems you weren't. Will try to use skype more and see if I get crashes.
skype crashes on me as well when I was trying to do a test call. I installed fring and did a test video call just fine though. I can't even stand to look at fring though.
workaround
I had a similar problem on my Acer iconia a500. The work around was to go to settings>wireless and networks>wi-fi settings>wi-fi disconnect policy>never when plugged in. After setting this and plugging in the tablet I can make calls... And it has continued to work since unplugging, so you might even be able to skip that step.
What Skype are you using that allows video? Where do I get it? The only ones I see allow voice (mobile).
I would also like to know which skype someone is using to get video calls. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

Dolby
Hello,
my Skype was crashing the tablet too all the time. opening it and chatting with it was fine, but as soon as i did place a call, the tablet restarted.
I deactived Dolby in the Settings, and everything worked as it should.
>I deactived Dolby in the Settings, and everything worked as it should.
Thanks!
Turning off Dolby fixed the garbled sounds that I was getting when making calls with Skype.
Before this, I could hear the lady on Skype test call clearly, but my recording was garbled. (My workaround to this was to plug in a set of headphones when making calls.)
>Skype keeps crashing
>I just got my 2nd A500, installed Skype but it crashes more often than not. If it works then it works fine.
I was having the same issue. Played around with the wifi settings as suggested by ttenani and reinstalled Skype. It has not crashed since.
Spacey1982's suggestion on the Dolby has now fixed my the garbled sounds that I was getting with the mic.
Now, if only Skype would release a version that allows video calls. Otherwise, we should all migrate to Google Talk. (Are you listening Microsoft?)
Thank you so much for this fix and or workaround. I now have Skype YEA!!!!!!! Wow a forum...

Just the fact it's Microsoft is enough reason for me to migrate my family to Google Talk.
have an HTC one with ARHD2.0 GE on it...but skype crashes when i want to make a call....:crying:
I've never seen a dedicated thread on this but I've seen people make off-hand comments about this issue from time to time. I think it started happening in Tytung R9 and higher kernels.
I am using a BlueAnt T1 Bluetooth headset. It pairs just fine and I can use it generally without any issue.
The problem comes when I use voice dialing to initialize a call from the Bluetooth headset. It connects to the phone and I get the normal Android "Speak now...." I speak my command "Call <person> on <service>...." It states the command back like normal and then _as soon as_ it switches to the phone app (eg, com.android.phone process) it locks up the phone and the only way to recover is to pull the battery.
If, instead, I go to the phone app, find the person, and call them that way (even with Bluetooth paired) it _always_ works without any problems. This isn't a long-term solution for me because I need to use voice dialing when I'm in my car.
Now that GPS looks to be fixed and CLK data over PPP is much more stable, this Bluetooth issue is the last thing standing between me and treating the HD2 as my full-time native Android phone (currently I tinker on the HD2 but use my Nexus One as my daily driver).
I've tried multiple different ROMs, from HyperDroid-CM7, HyperDroid-GBX, Typhoon CM7, and Nexus-HD2-Gingerbread. They all have the same issue though Nexus-HD2 appears to be worse than the others (that is, the problem happens more often there).
I've used the infamous audio.conf update as well as the various no-wonk and libaudio patches and none of them help this issue.
Anyone else experienced this and have any feedback on how you overcame it?
I have the same kind of problem and tried a lot of different ROMs - not help.
I tried Blueant ST3, Motorola t305.
Phone book copied to blueant very well, but voice dial has same simptoms like yours - even if phone does't hang sound goes away from phone permanently(needs reboot). Is there any other ROM which works well with bluetooth hadsfree?
Any one?
P.S. Looks like it is real problem, but non of developers pay attention to it - they just don't have handsfree maybe

I've not actually tried a SENSE-based ROM but I understand from my research that they don't have the BT issue. Maybe it's possible to look into their architecture to understand what is different.
I expect that it's something in the kernel....
This is a very common issue. if it helps, BTvoice command works Fine in Froyo.. at least CM6 (I tested).

I think it is not the kernel, same kernel will crash in CM7 but no in CM6. I think the problem is related to the libaudio.so and other libs in system/lib.

are the Froyo-based builds still being maintained. I ask that from the perspective of "could I just use a Froyo build as my daily driver instead?"

I'm using it as my daily driver (CM6), I came back just bc of the calling issues in Gingerbread.
the build that I'm using has not been updated since Jan 7, however I applied around 10+ patches and now it works as good as the new builds.
I just tested again voice command.
No problems
During the voice command call I can switch from BT to speaker to audio piece, back to BT etc, no problems. Audio doesn't crash after call.
And no 60ma battery drain. it is around 5ma after the call with BT on.

just for clarity for other folks reading this thread, I assume that you're talking about a Froyo-based ROM.
i just verified the problem exists in MIUI as well. I tested MIUI since it's allegedly a "clean room" type of build environment.

Yes, I tested successfully in a Froyo based ROM.
I went back for a moment to CM7 and tested...sound couldn't return to the phone after calling with BT, also during the call I was not able to switch to speaker phone like I do in the froyo based ROM.
Tested with Tytung 1.9G Froyo - BT works just fine in all ways. Just need to keep GPS off(when not used) to avoid 60 ma current draw.
Tytung says BT Voice dail is just GBread problem.

It works fine on my Nexus One on Gingerbread, so I don't see how it can be a "gingerbread problem." If it was a "gingerbread problem" other devices would be seeing this as well.

Yes you are right. It is just what Tytung said(i asked in his thread). Probably he meant GB for HD2....Soon or later they will figure it out i think...
For now will use Froyo 1.9G....
tytung said:
I don't have any Bluetooth headset.
AFAIK, some people have the sound issues, e.g. causing the phone app FC, since using Gingerbread 2.3.4.
But it doesn't affect all people, I don't know why.
No solution so far. To use Gingerbread 2.3.3 instead if you are one of them.

I finally found Tytung's exact quote as to why he won't look into the issue. It can be seen in context over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060&page=524#
So, it might not be Froyo that's the fix but rather older versions of Gingerbread as well.
i have found a workaround fix for this bug.I tried it in tytung`s v2.9 rom and in dorimanx cm7 light rom with driztee v2 libaudio file.For bt voice commands i am using cyberon voice commander because google app doesnt support yet greek language
i connect my bt headset (motorola h300) and then i use super bt mono froyo free app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.steven.supermonofroyofree&feature=search_result to send audio to bt headset.
After pushing the bt headset button cyberon voice starts and i can give the command i want.After giving the command, audio goes back to the phone (you will hear a beep from phone speaker).The weird thing is that the audio is in extremely low level for hearing music but when you receive a call it is in normal level.
If i close super bt mono froyo app,audio returns to phone in normal level.
But if i accidentally (after i close the app) push the button for voice bt command,audio will disappear.
If the app is on and you receive a call,all audio will go again to bt headset and to return it to phone speaker after end call, i push bt headset,cyberon voice starts and i dont give any comand.After cyberon ends,audio goes back to phone with low level for media hearing.
Sure this isnt the perfect solution,but the important thing for me is that with this way,audio is not go away and i can give bt voice commands.
Also i tried bt mono app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950472 and it have a little different behaviour.I cant start from bt headset cyberon voice comander,but only from the phone and after giving a command,audio returns to bt headset if you have enable the setting "restart after call".So i think it maybe be helpful to people who want to have audio all time in a bt carkit.
Tested all 2.3.3 from Tytung - last working with r8.3 kernel. r9 and up not working.
So NexusHD2 v2.5 NAND(GB 2.3.3) with r8.3 latest working with BT voice dial ROM.

thanks for that follow-up and testing. I was wondering if whether or not it might be a "fault" in the VoiceDialer.apk or even in the Phone.apk. I have been using my Nexus One for daily stuff. I might try replacing VoiceDialer and/or Phone.apk in a newer ROM (eg AOSP 2.3.5 or so) with the old version and see if it works.
Ive wondered about this as it is to me the last issue I have with my HD2. Here is a search link for some entries in Tytungs rom & kernal thread...

- open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170812
Problems with the ROM
- I cannot make WhatsApp or Messenger calls with bluetooth ear piece connected (or with bluetooth on and ear piece unconnected) because bluetooth will cause phone to instant crash off every time. After crash off have to re-start to get phone back every time. I can make these calls successfully with bluetooth off.
- Google app cannot hear when I speak. It simply shows the "Listening" screen, but hears nothing.
- NFC functionality not working.
Can I do anything to fix these? or is there a more functional stable other ROM I can use.
I'm pleased with Lineage OS because there is no bloatware, it's stable and it's fast, but I need the functionality I have listed above.
Can anyone help?
