8525 and skype - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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

ms voip support working?

hi,
i can't seem to get it working. people can hear me, but i can't hear them
Anyone got this working?
Thx
it should work, i have not tested it but it should work, the files and registry entryes are taken from a hermes rom for which i am sure that it work and it is the same core and build as ours
i was able to launch the setup earlier... and decided to do it later on..
but when i tried after 2 days ... it just crashed...
did uninstall... softrest... install.. routine few times... and gave up.
I successfully connected to my Hungarian Voip provider (megafone) but no sound at all. Dialing is okay, but I cannot hear it ringing out, cannot hear the other party, they can't hear me. However the connection is there and the connected seconds are charged.
GSM phone, Skype and Fring are working well, only the Ms Voip has problems.
My settings look like this. The 'Dial plan' tab is empty. Is this normal?
Also noted that it didn't terminate the call normally as I pressed the red button, it kept charging on for 15 minutes of talk...
well now i think that something is missing, maybe audio encoders and decoders on which VoIP is dependant, i will look into this and will keep you posted
My tip is also codec-related.
Is it normal that via ActiveSync the voip says No Service? With WiFi it says Available, I think it should also with ActiveSync.
are there any news?
I don't have an issue with VOIP working on my SX66. In fact, I was surprised by how easy it was to get going.

You were lucky that your provider uses the same codec as this WM6 build does.
Since I don't use something like Vonage, or Comcast VOIP, I just went out and found a VOIP provider online. VOIPCheap.com works great with this build.
-Chris
Many of us prefer a local VoIP provider though.
VoIP Incoming RTP
Some additional info on the problem with receiving audio. (same is on my phone). I checked which codec this SIP stack negotiates.
Apparently, out of all available, MS VoIP settles either on PCMA or PCMU depending on the other end availability, and refuses other most common ones.
Well, it encodes and sends RTP which I receive on other non wm6 phones and I am sure it receives RTP, and may even decode it, but by the look of it, not a squick is sent to the hardware/speaker.
Cheers

Sorted by installing Voip support from (ftp://xda:[email protected]/WM6VoIP.CAB)
and installing on top of the existing (from voip.cab - can't remember the source).
Although the dialplan tab is still blank (requires ipdialplan.xml, I guess) but the SIP settings are remain intact after this 'patch'.
====
I've just tested the MS voip with 3 different VOIP providers, and I also have the "sound" problem with it.
When I use an other VOIP application (like SJphone) all is working fine, so it must be a codec problem that is missing.
I just looked at VOIPCheap.com website. It's sounds interesting. Never tried VOIP from BA. Can someone tell me what i need to do to use VOIPCheap.com on BA to make VOID calls apart from creating an account with VOIPCheap.com? Thanks guys.
Never Mind. Please ignore my last msg. I think i got the answer on there website in FAqs. I'll create the account and see how good it is.
Anyone have any good/bad feedback for VOIPCheap.com service?
Thanks.
There are a lot of threads for VoIP problems in the forums many issues are solved there, i suggest al of the VoIP users to search and read there. Also i understood that difrend providers use difrend encoding-decoding so thats why it works for some and not for everybody
did someone find a fix for the muted audio issue?
i've read many threads about many voip issues on the other forums available here, but it seems like the small amount of ppl who had this problem was left quite alone..
I'm trying to place calls via my asterisk 1.4 box.
thanks

Internet calling (VoIP) on the mogul works, but...

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
JD
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:
http://www.etenblog.com/downloads/Software/switch.cab
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.
JD
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

VOIP today plugin

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.

[Q] Fring SIP on Imagio

So I am attempting to set up a VOIP calling solution to replace skype/fring after their spat. I'm using the google voice --> SIPGate/Gizmo --> Fring method with the iDailer/iContact app as detailed on lifehacker and other places (can't post external links yet).
Everything is set up correctly, as when I have SIPGate forward calls to my mobile number (using Verizon minutes) it works like a charm. However, despite the fact that the SIPGate control panel shows fring as a connected VOIP phone (fring is subscribed to SIP account properly) and fring rings correctly, when i attempt to pick up I get the following error dialog
"Unable to make a call. Please correct the date on your device and restart fring"
Any help would be appreciated. My device date is obviously correct. Fring is connected over 3G cellular broadband, and seems to do other things (like call fring-to-fring and AIM correctly).
I'm having exactly the same problem on an HTC Tilt 2. Quite frustrating and I'd love to know if there's a solution.
When fring is booting...read the fine print and read its manufacturer date... i.e. mine said 2006-2008.
Then set your device date year in that range. Try that. That way i don't get that error message, however my phone freezes up as soon as i make a call. Working on that issue.

cant find skype in market?

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.
