ROM 1.40 & Skype?

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.

Issues with VoIP

Hi.
I can't get the VoIP to work with my Kaiser.
No problem getting it to work with my Hermes.
I have downloaded and installed the file:
"VOIP Drivers"
"MajikVoIP"
and I'm using Schaps VoIP Config tool.
I can get the device to connect to the SIP server, and it will show in the home screen as "selected"
however, whenever I try to make a call, I get the error : "Network Service not available. Try again later" or some other messages about how the connection can't go through
The SIP account is set up to only accept g711 (either ulaw or alaw).
Has anyone experienced that problem as well ?
What did you do to activate VoIP on your Kaiser?
Thank you
Jean-Yves

Bump!
Decided to install VoIP to. But whatever I do I get the same error/message. I tried a WIFI and G3/GRPS connections, I tried VoIP Buster and our Company (Swyx) IPPBX and the alle result in the Network service not available message.
I tried the same accounts on my Wizard and the work flawlessly.
Anybody can shed any light on this matter? As far as all the other other threads go VoIP should work without any problems.
TIA, cheers,
Cacti

Same problem here
I tried many different solutions from different threads. I even managed to get the call another phone using VOIP (VOIPbuster network), but the other phone could not hear me and I could not hear the other....
I used different cab files like MajikVOIP and WM6VoIP, but no configuration works. I even tried different IPDialplans, but no avail...
Hopefully someone could shed light on this issue.
Oh, my ROM is the original UK rom...

actually, different problems.
@jyavenard/le_cactus: does it work over WiFi? If there is a block or proxy then WiFi should work. TMO is known to actively block VoIP on their European network.
@epoot: your issue is something altogether different and not easily answered since in-call audio loss isn't fully understood yet. I suspect its bandwidth/codec related and have done testing which supports this theory, but I have yet to produce a working low-bandwidth codec due to logic troubleshooting difficulties.

Hi Sleuth,
Thanks for your response, strangely enough I looked at my profile and it seems that I am from the US. Well maybe I created this account when I was travelling, but I am living in the Netherlands using the operator Orange with a non-branded HTC Kaiser (bought it without subscription).
I am testing VOIP over Wifi and have tried the different configurations found in the different threads of this forum. Never got it to work though...
So the proxy issue you mention does not affect me, I think? It might be another problem...
In one configuration with certain cabs from one of the forums, I kept getting the searching... status and VOIP did not work. In the other got the message: Network service not available...
In antoher configuration I finally managed to call someone, but no audio from both ends...
I was hoping to find a walkthrough of a successfull VOIP installation on an orginal UK rom...
Cheers,
Edwin

wierd, I could've sworn the OP's info was US/albania not yours epoot... Sorry for the confusion, I've edited my previous post for clarification.
I've installed the TNT VoIP cab available in the cabs thread. After I removed my AT&T hidden proxy along with the two port restriction entries in hklm\comm\rtc\adaptertypes I was able to connect just fine over 3G with both-way audio. My only issue is that sound plays out the back speaker instead of my Tilt's earpiece speaker.

VOIP internal speaker
I've finally gotten VOIP to work using the MajikVOIP.cab and VOIPdrivers.cab. Now all the sounds is coming out of the external speakers. Anyway to re-route this to the internal speakers? Great forum!

Hi sleuth. I am using Tmobile from the Netherlands with an unlimited 3G plan. i was wondering if u can tell me where i can find the Tmobile's hidden proxy ( if there is 1) and how to modify/edit the hklm\comm\rtc\adaptertypes in order to use my Tmobile 3G network for VOIP. What i see is that the string value is set to default. Atm i am using ur VOIP cab with VOIPCHEAP, which works fine over WIFI..but getting disconnected if i want to use it over Tmobile's 3G.
thank you in advance.

try using www.fring.com, it's very easy to setup and works ok.

I've tested fring too.
Did the sound in your case come out of the loudspeaker or on the earphone?

the sound is coming from earphone.

are u sure? my old fring version gives sound from the speakerphones and yesterday i downloaded the newest fring version for my tytnII, which gave the same result..sound from the rear speakers. could u try to set ur volume on max and then listen again..cuz when u set at low volume it could also sound like it comes from the earphone. I've used skype, fring and sleuth kaiserVOIP.cab ..all with the same result.

AGEphone Mobile 2.5 Speakerphone Edition supports the internal speaker on the Kaiser and a range of other HTC devices (with more to come)!

VOIP and the Herald???

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...
Nick

anyone bother to read around a bit...
it uses the same dialer for GSM and for VoIP calls.
anyway - fring is the best solution

Ok People SKYPE WORKS FOR WM 6.1!!!!!!!

Ok i have been breaking my head. to get it to connect over GPRS/EDGE/3G.
It works for me with any other connection. That is : Wifi, and Active sync.
I am using T-mobile, (unlocked) att Tilt, and have t-zones.
So of course it has something to do with proxy connection.
Please someone help on how to do a registry edit, or a .cab file or something.
One more thing, I never used to have all these problems with my wizard
(im guessing it was because i had the data plan(data plan is to damn expensive) )

why waste your time running another memroy hungry app on your phone; instead use fring http://www.fring.com and it's free and then have all your IM applications running from one app.

Some of use like to use the original app/OS, instead of a third-party version.
I too wonder if I should go back to WM6.0 because of the incompatibility with Skype. Skype is also free, and I use it primarily for calls, not IM.
It does seem that most Skype users wouldn't be using WM6.1 anyways since it's beta/unreleased OS anyways. Hopefully, the Skype people would update themselves sometime soon.

I am using skype on 6.1. See my signature.
I use skype for overseas calls as that is what they all use.

Not sure why it works on some 6.1 ROM's and not others.

I thought when i posted this, that i would get alot of help. Look i dont think this is hard. And as for the windows mobile 6.1 issue, i really dont think its an issue, cause thats what i am using.
The problem is that. The stupid t-zones proxy, is getting in the way of this thing connecting over the Edge/gprs/3G.
Please all you registry whiz peeps or all you people that know how to hex edit or patch stuff, please help with a solution for this.
thank you
Oh and do people know of other voip stuff that i can get into ?
thanks again

For what it's worth, I don't use any type of IM, but use Fring instead of Skype for calls. I used Skype on my phone, but Fring just seems to work better.

Well, don't know if you guys know (according to Skype) that Skype doesn't work on non 3G network?
I flashed many WM 6.1 floating in this board and I don't have any problem w/ skype on at&t 3G (yet.)

Hmm.. maybe I'll look again. Skype install worked quite fine on WM6.0 previously (Dutty's/Sleuth), but the new Dutty 6.1 Skype runs, but refuses to be "online". I can still access my previous call history and profile information. This is over WiFi.
I'll try again. Maybe network "hiccup".

While installing Skype of resco or 1-Calc, make sure you are NOT on WiFi. Just disconnect the WiFi, then install the programs.

Why waste your time running apps with such a CHEESY interface as Fring when Skype works perfectly? As an existing Skype user on my PCs I am very happy to have the same easy to use interface on my phone. I do not see it as being memory hungry either. I have been running Skype without a hitch in WM6.0 and 6.1 on my kaiser in Australia for the past 4 months. Have it connected right now on a non 3G, Edge network. It is Free other than my data charges. I have been using Duttys Roms.

Okay, so still nope for me. Can't get "online" with Skype still. Using Dutty's 6.1 ROM before the 19202 hybrid version.

If your using T-mobile t-zones plan, you can forget many things working.
If you want a clean im client thats free, go with parlingo, (i hope i spelt it right)
get it and search again for the reg proxy fix.
T-mobile they are pissing me off, No 3g and then there data add on is more expensive than all the other carriers with better networks.
I think i might just start a thread just to vent. This is pure rubish, How long does it take to upgrade there towers or roll out there 3g, they have been saying that it would be ready next year, since 2005.
They are just lucky i like there voice plans, But this is totally rubbish.

nymgo sip

hello everyone i am using 6.5 rom on my fuze on t-mobile and i wanted to use sip from nymgo to make my international calls but i am having some trouble finding a good program that works hoping for some suggestions from you guys

Nymgo site says to use fring
Have you tried it?

hey man - i am looking for something similar too. i know a few ROMS have the option of internet calling inbuilt, but I have never found a good SIP/VOIP configuration tool to make that actually work.

sip app or rom
got it working had to use the audio re router to get sound coming out of the ear piece works good just tried it

Hi I had HTC 6.5 and I' am using Skype on it and its working
Try it.
