I want to install Skype, is there a particular version i should go for or can i use any of the WM phones listed?
skype problem..
for some reason i can't get skype to work on my kaiser,when i try to log in,it don't recognize my user name or password,yet its the same info i use to sign in on my laptop.
Strange that, I took a chance and just installed it and it worked 1st time.
worked for me from the first time as well
I selected HTC P4350 and it worked first time on my Kaiser....

This is the answer I received from SKYPE support re the TyTn II - so are the happy users lucky or do the Skype guys know nothing???
"
This device has CPU with ARM v4 instruction set. Unfortunately it is incompatible with Skype for Mobile 2.2 voice calling.
Only the chat function is working on that device with Skype for Mobile 2.2 at the moment.
You can read in more detail about that problem from http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=980
Our development team is working hard to make Skype for Mobile compatible with more and more devices but no release date is currently available.
Please keep an eye on newer Skype for Mobile versions at our web page: http://skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/mobile/
We apologise for the inconvenience, but for the moment only chat functionality is supported
"
Had you tried 2.1 version?
I haven't tried anything - about to buy my TyTn II - just point of information to know whetner it works or not - makes a difference...
Think am lucky so far, I've made 3 calles and it worked fine apart from from usual echo.
I must be lucky too - works great - and even works very well with stereo bluetooth headset.....

What is Skype smoking? A cursory scan of anything named TyTN? The Kaiser has a ARM v6 instruction set. The Hermes supported voice chat too, especially in the 2.2 beta, but not the final gold.
Skype REALLY doesn't want to support any of the PDA phones. Hmm.
When it does work, does it support voice over Bluetooth headset, or does it still only support voice over speakerphone and wired headset?
From what I understand, the lastest verison of skype doesnt work on both Tytn and tytn 2 because of there new voice decoder. The older one works fine. But I dont know which version of skype it goes back to. Look in the Tytn forum and there are heaps of info on which one works and which doesnt and Im guess its the same for the tytn 2.

As rakh1 says you can select HTC P4350. So this indicates two things
1
TyTn 2 does not have to use the older version Skype 2.2 Beta or older
2
When Skype were asked about this they just heard the TyTn part and immediately launched their standard line - Skype chat is not compatible etc. Perhaps if they had been asked about the Kaiser or the P4350 then the answer would have been correct! (as suggested by NuShrike above)

i just downloaded skype 2.2 and it works like a champ on my kaiser. as others said just pick the p4350 and it will run np.
yep, volume still seems to come out of the rear speaker though, also, I had inital error when installing via the PC through activesync, but once copying the cab over, it installed and runs smoothly.
I wonder if the Skype crowd ever miss the Joost fellas
you guys who are using Skype successfully, couple of questions:
1) are you using internet or WIFI connection?
2) Which version of Skype?
Thanks!

1. Either.
2. The latest PPC build downloadable from the SKype site.
Skype phone calls seemed to work ok for me - perhaps a little crackle on the other side.
Does anyone know why skype only works through the speakers? Is this an issue with WM6 in general?

Guys, I read this ROM has Skype built-in, is this correct? I am curious if you guys have problems with WIFI & Skype as described here, and if this ROM/Radio has improved it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15707&highlight=skype
I have problems exactly as described in the link above, After a few seconds into the call, I would be disconnected from Skype. My Internet also “dies” (it still appears to be connected, but nothing will work)… only way to fix is to soft-reset.
This is a really bad drawback b/c a huge reason for getting the Blue Angel was to use VOIP via Skype! :x
btw, What version of Skype is included, and if a new version of Skype PPC is released, how would we go about upgrading it, since it is in the ROM?

The installer for Skype is in ROM, not the actual program. The actual program is in ram, just as if you downloaded it. Version is 1.1.0.7 and yes that is a 7.
Seems to work OK for me, over Wi-Fi I have used it over 12 hours at a time.
THANK you dah54 ... almost had 100 views with no replies. :shock:
That is very useful information - I don't see 1.1.0.7 on Skype's webpage http://skype.com/products/skype/pocketpc/ . Wonder what has changed since 1.1.0.6?
It's actually only in the EXTENDED ROM. Which means it is indeed a seperate program, with a cab installer.
You can grab it from the FTP, here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_Operator/Imate/Default_SkypeForPocketPC.CAB
Thanks TheLastOne -- I wandered onto the 1.1.0.7 link earlier and thought maybe a simple Skype upgrade would solve my problems, but no dice.
Went full out and did the 1.40 upgrade with 1.12 radio, and have not had any disconnects yet! Will test it out more later tonight.
Problems fixed.
I can hardly believe it - Skype is working absolutely perfectly with this new ROM and Radio!
No more disconnects with Wi-fi and sound quality is a definite improvement (according to others). I will soon be getting some SkypeOut credits 8)
If anyone is on the pre-1.40 ROMs and having Skype issues, I strongly recommend you to give the upgrade a try. Heck, even those with wifi issues should try it... I know you're out there! -- I've seen quite a few of you with wifi issues while searching through the forums.
I recently had the chance to play with the Nokia E61i and the built in VOIP client is brilliant. It allows you to use internal speaker, speaker phone and bluetooth with VOIP calls.
I had a Pocket PC before HTC Titan, but unfortunately had to sell it because I am traveling a lot now. I will primarly use my device in South America where the WCDMA band is different. I am thinking about getting the Nokia E90 or the HTC Kaiser, but must make sure the Kaiser will have built in VOIP client. Can someone confirm? Thanks
Even knowing there are many VOIP applications for Windows Mobile, I tried many with the HTC Titan and only ONE worked ok, but the problem was it only worked trough the speaker phone which was very annoying and not convenient.
I understand voip should be included in WM6.
IE : the integrated phone application can do voip.
Tried it with WM6 and voipbuster on my HTC Wizard and it's working although the sound is not so good sometimes because of the Wizard weak processor (I think).

I have already asked that question some time ago - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322377 - and it turned out there is no VoIP support in Kaiser by default. I haven't seen any traces of VoIP in Kaiser I've played with two days ago. And finally, take a look into official Kaiser product sheets - they don't mention VoIP at all, while it's a good feature to shout about.
So basically, there is no VoIP support in Kaiser. However, installing it as an add-on from cab files might have a chance to work, but someone with real Kaiser with hands would need to test it and let us know.
That is really sad. I guess I am going to have to go with the Nokia E90 until a Windows Mobile device has a built in VOIP client.

VOIP is easily installed by YOU.
There's no reason to not get a kaiser because it doesn't have this if you are a member of these forums.

I have Kaiser now, I've installed VOIP Drivers.cab and MajikVOIP.cab. Installs all components correctly, logs into SIP account, makes a call, but... sound comes out of external speaker, instead of internal earpiece!
Did you manage to make it work properly and if yes - which cabs exactly did you install? Thanks.
im keen to find out also! I thought that you could only access voip using cooked roms.
There are a number of WM5 VoIP endpoints available.... however I'm not entirely sure about WM6 yet. I work in VoIP, and its on my list of things the check now that i have my shiny new TyTN II sat infront of me!
I'll keep you all updated with my findings.
Mind you.. i must check tmobiles policy on VoIP, I had a sneaky feeling they are blocking necessary ports...
managing your voip client?
for those with Voip enabled and working, can you tell me how the voip client determines which connection to use, ie wifi or using the data plan?
I have installed Fring and it works well. Is this different than the other voip programs discussed above?
from what i understand, Fring is a stand alone app, where as the voip i am looking at is fully integrated into the phone and uses the standard dialer, hence my previous question about how the Voip determines which connection to use? And if that is automatic? ie. if wifi is available will it just connect via wifi and if wifi isnt available will it then revert automatically to using the data plan to make the voip call.
Not that this helps with the Kaiser, but according to HP, the new iPaq BM series should have the VoIP client enabled by default; in fact, as far as I'm aware, it's the only device announced with it enabled.
Hi,
I'm new to the PDA and WM phone world, and i have a quick question. If there was a voip program of sorts for a phone like this, would that mean you could just pay for a data plan and not have to pay for a voice plan from a company like AT&T? And then u could still text message, e-mail, internet and the sorts, but also be able to make calls through your program?
Hi
Most providers (certainly here in the UK) flag data used for Messenging and/or VoIP so they are charge at a higher rate or excluded from your inclusive allowance so you pay extra or not blocked completely.
VoIP on a mobile device is only really of benefit when you are in range of a wireless connection.
Regards
Phil
Hey, thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if AT&T restrict data like he said? That's gonna be the main service i will be using, and want to know if they do or not.
Hello,
I bought the Herald because I wanted to use VOIP on it eventually.
But then it doesn't seem to work quite as expected. The main problem is that the sound doesn't come from the earpiece but from the speakerphone instead...
Has this problem been solved???
Thanks in advance!

tested , it is not working on T-mobile Wing, it keeps saying "searching", I may have to change ROM to use Microsoft VOIP.
the SJphone works fine on Wing

I had made an earlier POST about using VOIP on wing. Will appreciate your help to setup VOIP on Wing. I downloaded and installed WM6VOIP and Setupvoip from the forum - but did not understand how to get the device to dial out. Do you need to use the phone dialer or do you need to use another softphone software.
Will appreciate your thoughts...

anyone bother to read around a bit...
it uses the same dialer for GSM and for VoIP calls.
anyway - fring is the best solution
Hi,
I think it can be a solution for everyone who wants to use M$ VoIP and GPS in his Diamond (till today if you use VoIP, GPS goes dead).
IMHO problem was one file called dnsapi.dll in VoIP cab which overwrite original one in ROM. It caused that GPS goes dead.
I've removed this file from my OEM package and cooked a ROM with VoIP. I tested this and VoIP and GPS is working without any problems.
I using only OEM packages - if someone can make a cab file from attached OEM package and test it, maybe we will have a solution for everyone !
[2008-08-08] UPDATE - CABs can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2497988&postcount=8
Sound great!!
This is what i´ve been waiting for... fring does the trick... but BAD.
Sweet.
Good idea, a shame I don't know how to make a .cab.
None of the VoIP programs I tested work on the diamond (even Fring doesn't work properly...)

I'm not talking about Skype and Fring - issue was with VoIP drivers from M$. With that you can dial via e.g. Halonet from normal dialpad.
Anyone tried to make proper CAB? For chefs attached OEM package is ready to cook.
Hi,
I tried to make a proper cab, but apparently I failed
I damaged my original dnsapi.dll, now I have one with filedate
31.01.07; could someone upload the original one from a 1.37 rom?
Thanks,
Seven

Here you are...
Aaaah, thanks Saves me from Hardreset because the VOIP drivers wouldn't uninstall anymore... Have something in return: Here you have two CABs which do not install a dnsapi.dll, and tested them on my diamond. Works perfectly. You even dont have to reset the phone...
If feedback is positive, maybe the OP could change topic into "[solved]..."?
One tiny thing left to do: Change the ipdialplan.xml to make VOIP dial those "+1 (999) 1212 - 1212" numbers as well ^^
Thanks and enjoy,

what gps program are you using ?

I've tested in HTC GPS Tool and Automapa (Polish navigation).
Anyone tried CAB prepared by mcseven?
I used tomtom 7, outdoor gps and mobile terminal emulator to see nmea records on COM4 directly. all 3 programs were running simultaneously and were receiving GPS.
I also tried to connect the VOIP to my asterisk, works as well, but cannot call any +1* numbers or numbers with brackets, since I dont know how to change the ipdialplan.xml in /windows...
I didn't know wich one of the .cab I should install so I installed both; I started with the drivers, it did nothing then I installed WM6Voip, it seemed to work. So I installed SIPconfigTool to configure my connection and I tested TomTom, the GPS was detected (whereas it wasn't with the original WM6Voip). Nevertheless, I tried to use my VoIP account over 3G but it couldn't connect (whereas Fring can connect).
works fine using tomtom 7 and GoSIP...
Yes, possibly the built-in VOIP cannot use STUN functionality, and fring can. I believe that to be a firewall issue.
However, now I seem to have that 5 seconds silence bug. I establish a connection, but 5 seconds into a call the diamond ceases to transmit voice. Receiving voice from the remote party however continues flawlessly. No Headset connected and not put into a docking station. Has anyone a similar problem or even a solution to that?

Well, yes. Use a program called SIP config (anyone you like, I use this one) to program your provider settings into the phone. Then make sure to visit Settings->Phone->"Internet" Tab and change it from "Never" to a setting of your liking. After that (and pressing ok in the top right corner) it should register with your VOIP provider as soon as there is a data connection available. If your phone places a call via VOIP, it will ring a short audible "beep" prior to connecting. I found no way to tell it explicitly "use cellular network" or "use VOIP network" for placing a call. Perhaps this will be added in a later ROM.
However, now I seem to have that 5 seconds silence bug. (...)

I believe that to be a firewall issue as well. Yesterday I went home from work and put the phone directly into my home Wifi net with direct connection to my asterisk server. Everything works fine.
Today I used another access point at work, and it worked fine as well, so if you are having trouble getting voice to the remote party it most likely is your firewall's fault.
btw I have not found a way to use the internal=headset speaker, it will always use the loudspeaker for received audio.
wow, big THANKS.
works fine for me. Could connect to my Axon PBX with SIP and GPS also runs fine (Tested with tomtom7 and WMMiniGPS).
I realy waited for that and had also two hard resets behind me previous during tests
It almost works for me. I can connect, but my voice doesn't arrive to the other side of the line at all. Neither does the voice of the other side arrive to me. The line is open, but seems 'dead'.... what am I doing wrong?
ipdialplan.xml for sipgate in Germany
Fantastic, with the new cabs now GPS and WM6VoIP works. Attached a dialplan which I modified last year for my Kaiser. It works with my sip provider in Germany (sipgate) and you can dial local plan, leading 00 or + or 0. It may work also for others.
voip speaker
Great job!
Is there already any solution for the intern/extern speaker problem?
Here my catch of the day:
Taken from an other forum (credits goes to lubo777):
http://www.minitelecom.org/downloads/images/voip/WM6VoIPFull.cab
HowTo: http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=61730
Worked for me...
Yeah I think I've seen that one before & tried to use it...
Have you tried your GPS since you've installed that? Because I think that one breaks the GPS (at least on the Fuze units) .. and if it IS on a Fuze - is it actually working properly over 3G?
I have another version that I got to work without breaking the GPS - but never been able to get it to work over 3G on WM 6.x ....
Hey - would I recommend it if not ?!?
Sure I did - as I said working like a charm...
I have a TouchPro with the German V3 23001 Pro image (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529794) and as VoIP provider: Sipgate.de. Furthermore I checked that GPS is still working with GoogleMaps and sTevesTeve after install and setup and it was working as before.
With all other SIP setups I tried before, I had the same issue as you mentioned - they all rendered my GPS worthless -
BUT NOT THIS ONE!
Peace!
i gave up and use portsip as you can set the audio output http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508715
Hmmm I also wonder what MrGAN is talking about... for two handsets (WM6.5) voip is not working properly!!!
Its so frustrating with WM6, Microsoft hasn´t any clue about how VOIP has to work on handsets.
Why don´t they learn from NOKIA??? My old E60 is still working beautiful on VOIP. Ringing on the external speaker, voice on the internal speaker. Just no difference between VOIP and GSM.
Microsoft, why is it so hard for you to understand???
