Regards,
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, thanks for the info. Will try it later.

Doesn't seem to fit the screen properly.
Settings menu is bigger than the screen.

Mine screen OK.
Just the settings screen seems bigger.
Will have to play with it.
Didn't work on my HD. Two seconds after calling the Echo-Server the program crashed.
- Dromaius
Works well on my HD.
@madraven - Thanks for the tip!
the new skype does not work on my HD too
can you please post your rom version
Also did not work for me on ROM 1.14.405.3 - it got stuck on the logon screen and I gave up waiting. Worked fine on the PC so not a problem with the account.
Works Fine ..... :::After Restart Device::: .....
Works here too, I noticed some lag but nothing more than I would have on my Desktop PC.
Very handy to be walking around with my correspondend instead of being tied up behind the PC. ...Happy...
I'm still only getting sound through the external speaker and not the phone earpiece/bluetooth headset. Anyone else still having this happen?
Works fine on my HD, though you still have to use a headset if you don't want it on speaker.
Does not work on mine
The program does not start on my phone. I get the following error
"Couldn't find all the necessary resource files to start Skype. Please try to install Skype Again.
Skype will now quit"
I tried to resintall it, but it did not help.
I installed it on the internal memory..
Anyone else with the same problem?
Doesn't work on my HD either.
As soon as I call someone and the connection is established, Skype crashes.
It doesn't matter if I'm connected via WLAN, 3G or ActiveSync.
One thing I noticed though, when I'm connected via WLAN, Skype disconnects the network as soon as it crashes.
Soft resets and multiple reinstallations have not solved the problem.
Any ideas? (And no, I do not want to hard-reset my device.)
EDIT: Skype 2.2.0.38 works fine
works fine on mine but i was hopping Skype to start data connection by himself when i want to start Skype or when i select in Contact options "call with Skype" ...i always have to start data connection before starting Skype ...bouuhhh

Yes, it would be very nice if you could tell Skype to automatically connect to your WLAN or 3G when you make a call.

I downloaded the normal (>312Mhz) version and works fine on my TyTN.

??????
Thx
mmm... never heared of that. I checked my registry and I have the key but with empty value. YMMV but it runs just fine without any tweaks if you use the USB headset.

I would recommend this..

Hi Chris,
Check the Skype page beginning of October.
Cheers,

I installed Skype on my TyTn last night, and used it over wifi to call my Dad (just because I was bored and wanted to try it), I made no tweaks or changes and it works fine. I just chose Other Pocket PC and did an OTA install with the CAB file. Works great.
which skype brand - model for hermes
I took a guess and chose Dopod 700 version.
So far seems to work fine.
voice over EDGE sucks, but we knew that.

The HTC TyTN with SJphone or other.
For any of you who've been using a Nokia Symbian phone in recent months, you'll be happy to hear that fring has just released a WM5/WM6 fring client on a "preview" basis (beta of the beta - but not quite alpha testing).
fring was the one thing that was tempting me back to my Nokia E61 after finally "fixing" my TyTN. Basically, it's a combined VOIP/IM client that supports Skype, Google Talk, MSN and SIP as well as it's own community.
So those of you still stuck on WM5 or SJPhone forget about it. For those with any issues whatsoever with the WM6 VOIP client, forget about it. From my experience, fring SIP over 3G was even better than the built-in Nokia SIP client on the E61 over wifi in terms of call quality and availability (and that says a lot).
Does it have bugs, yes. Does it need improving, yes. But it's still the best thing out there. And even if you only use Skype Mobile, the RAM usage of fring is less than half (although call quality for Skype seems to be noticably lower than over SIP).
Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up. Don't kill me if you hate it (and no, I'm in no way employed by them). To find it, just do a google search for fring or go to www.fring.com. Their Windows Mobile forum can be found here:
http://www.fring.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=11
I have problem to in stall it on my Hermes.... Can`t install it...
Fring - Hermes not supported
After registration i recieved the following message:
Your handset is not supported ... yet.
I'am eager to try fring, but we have to wait until the Hermes is supported.
somebody out there, running fring on a hermes?
Edit: Now i recieved my downloadlink, hmmm i will try later tonight back home and report back....
Tried this morning b4 seeing this post. It works quite well...
it works
I finally installed fring, and it works..... (just tried skype)
tried over GPRS&G3, and the phone wakes up from standby flawlessly
i also like those facts (bandwith usage):
fring for symbian phones consumes
~ 8MB for 60 min of mobile-VoIP call;
0.05 KB per Instant message
fring overhead ~ 10KB per hour connectivity
i hope those figures are equivalent to those on a WM5/WM6 device....
i kept getting a no internet connection error...
Any way to take the: "On mobile by www.fring.com" ??
Thanks for the heads up from Quist! I had just installed the new version of Skype only to have it crash everytime I make a call, just about to go back to the old version but will give Fring a go as just the fact that is not as memory hog like Skype appeals to me.
Warning to those on limited data plans
Be aware that fring automatically starts and attempts to log in every time the device is reset. Since I do a backup every morning at 2:00 AM using Spb Backup, which does a soft reset afterwards, my GPRS data usage skyrocketed. Not to mention that I was fast asleep at 2:00 AM, not ready to talk to any contacts at that time. Bad, bad fring! Bye, bye fring... I may try you again when you behave better!
I know that there is an easy way to stop it from doing this, but it is just the principle behind it. I hate programs that try to second guess my wishes and do things on my behalf without asking me whether that is OK or not. Besides, it should have the option of not using GPRS/3G for those of us on limited data plans (in my case, $30 per month for 7 MB of data download!)

DOH!!! How did I miss that one?! And guess what? There is also an option "Disable autostart". OK, now I feel like a fool. Maybe I should edit my original post to say "Make sure that you disable autostart if you don't want fring to log in at 2:00 AM after a soft reset, and make sure to disable GPRS/3G if on a limited data plan."
My apologies to the fring developers.

this software is pretty bad ass,, i finally got it to work a few days ago.... i even started a call with a friend on google and it worked great!!!
thumbs up!
Did your Google Talk call go through your speakerphone speaker? Is there a way to change that?

You have two (maybe three) options: The first is to use the built-in rear speaker (the default). The second option is to connect the wired headset that came with your device. The third option (I haven't tested this or know anyone that has got it to work, but according to Teksoft's web site it should work on the Hermes) is to use Bluemusic to redirect the rear speaker output to a Bluetooth headset.
There is no way to use the built-in front (ear) speaker as this is reserved for the phone hardware.

hi all,
i've been trying to use Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) on my at&t 8525 windows mobile 6.
everything installs fine and i can connect to calls but the sound keeps on breaking in to pieces. plus the other person can't hear me.
i thought it was my slow 3g connection but it wasn't because i tethered the phone to the comp and used skype. that worked fine.
so i think it's a software issue? or the version that i'm using is wrong?
does anyone else have this problem? know how to fix? or which version of skype are you guys using with windows mobile 6?
oh i just found the solution, for those that have the same issue. you need to get an earlier version of skype: Pocket Skype 2.2.0.18 Beta!
get it here: http://smarthacks.com/2007/06/26/wo...-trinity-p3600/
I have the same problem on my Dopod 838 pro. Can't find a good solution because I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1. Forced to use the newest version with crippled sound engine. Anyway, the link appears to be erroneous to me. Error 404 in that blog.
Same problem here. Sound breaks up. Using Schap's 4.31.
Re The above broken link:
The older version of Skype is hopefully still on this link:

Just wanted to say in advance, Thanks Mike.
Just checked my Skype account, so I can talk to an old friend in Poland, and hoping this will ease this...
Do you know if it'll work through the WIFI on the phone? (Hermes). Or do i have to preconnect it to something first?
mobile skype the same as desktop skype is a bloated, useless piece of sh..software.
The reason the sound is breaking is probably because skype takes up all the available processor's resources and it's not enough for it.
I use fring, the sound quality is not as good, but at least it's bearable.

Yes it works through wifi. It's a while since I set it up, but simply put, if you are connected to your PC by wifi and the connection connects to the internet then Skype will too.

I downloaded skype 2.5 beta today and it works great on my Verizon 6800 DCD 3.22. I can make calls and receive with no issues. Only things I would like to see are my contacts. Is there a way to get it to import my contacts for fast dialing?
Thx

lepapirriky, if you modify a contact will you see the change in skype?
Yes, well about that it really didnt change my contact..i wait for a day and still nothing, but if i add contacts from my comp, they will add automatically on my phone.
Skype and wifi disconnection when screen goes off: registry tweaks please?
I have Skype beta 2.5 on my Sprint Mogul (PPC6800) running on wm6.1. Skype, however, requires the wifi to remain on if you want to receive calls. But when my phone's screen goes off the wifi gets disconnected so skype goes offline and now one can call me if I want them to call me from wifi using skype.
Also, when I am making a call, I want to be able to turn off the screen (or the phone will turn it off after a minute) to save battery, but then the wifi goes off and skype call gets disconnected.
I have tried skype's settings to tell it not to let system go into standby mode and I have tried to change my wifi settings by selecting the non-battery saver mode called "performance." None of these works. When the screen goes off, so does the wifi, and skype becomes unavailable for use.
Can some one tell me a registry tweak to disable the phone from turning off the wifi when the screen turns off? Thank you.
I will have to look for the wifi...for the screen off I use the tool in Pocket Toolman which is a free download. I use it a lot for the "screen off" function so the device stays on but with a blank screen.
Just looked and in the OS tweaks section there is an option I am not using called "keep wifi connection active when sleep" in side Pocket Toolman v2...it's free just google it...

Hi tejeskifly, Skype 3 takes a VERY long time to connect the first time it starts, up to 30 minutes. Why I don't know. But after that first time it loads and connects instantly. The first time you install it and try to connect just leave it alone, it might fail one or two times but just make it try again. When you install it and it asks you about your connections make sure you choose the second option (the one with "mobile").
anyone got audioroute working with energy rom with skype. I"m having a hard time trying to divert the speaker call to ear piece or anywhere else. Any help is appreciated.
