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.

cant record videos

everytime i hit record it stops at 1second.
when i go look for the video in my documents i see a green picture and it wont play. i cant even play videos i had recorded before this problem occur.
any help?

There could be many factors, but there are many posts about Camera issues. One too many as far as I am concerned try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387057
More info would help alot. Like have you flashed a new ROM? Radio? Have you changed anything before it started happening. Go to start, settings, system, device information and click on the hardware tab. Does it show Qualcomm 7200 or 7201?

i flashed it about 2-3 weeks ago to dutty's WM6.1 WWE
radio version 1.58.16.27
it says QUALCOMM 7201..
it takes pictures, sometimes it let me record but it wont play its just green

And it's only 1 second, or are you saying it's just a short recording?

well now for some reason it records more than 1 second..
i was reading that it had something to do with Dutty's rom.
should i just flash to another rom..
what do u recommend?

Your best bet is to read dutty's ROM thread.

so i been reading for hours and can get my camera to work
inow flashed it to [Apr 29] Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
and my camera now doesnt work at all.i get a black screen and it lags.i was reading that i must downgrade my radio..but how do i know to whic radio i must downgrade?no sound on my phone either
currently
Radio Versiom 1.58.16.27
Qualcomm 7200

Help! IGO8 always crashes!

Hey everybody, problem is as follows:
Installation works without problems, and after disabling HTC Home it starts properly. Everything seems to work fine, but after a few minutes of navigation it crashes! Screen freezes and no input is possible. Only way to get out is a soft reset.
does anybody have an idea how to solve the issue? would be thankfull for every suggestion!
by the way, I use Dutty's latest ROM [Jun 07] (Dutty's Diamond V1 Build 19588)
greetings!

ok... it's even worse now!
i uninstalled and reinstalled IGO8. and now it doesn't even start up anymore. well it tries to. the starting screen shows up, and it starts processing. but at some point the whole device (kaiser) just collapses and starts up completely new!
please! someone tell me whats going on!

First: Search in rom tread
Secound: Post rom related question in rom tread (yes this is rom related)
This issue been discussed in about every new build tread since Duttys april 29 hybrid. You will find youre answer in V1 tread, and before you flip. Its normal, youre kaiser isnt dying

Just desactivate AGPS :
Edit the registry HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/
Set 0 to EnableAGPS key.
Restart your kaiser, relaunch IGO8 and enjoy

DrQ is half-right...
You also need to disable HTC-Home if you're under WM6.1 AFAIK.

thanks for your answers...
even though I'm quite new to all of this, I found out myself that aGPS and HTC have to be disabled. I did both, but the problem exists. that's why I posted.
raiisak, thanks for your comment! I think you're also talking bout the aGPS and HTC-home disabling "fix" ... cause I looked over the Dutty V1 thread more than once without finding an other post concerning this problem...
I guess I will just do what Dutty did: going back to his APR 29th build. That one was stable and everything worked without problems. also I share his opinion that 6.1 sucks.
regards!

No.. iGO8 crashes like *crazy* on my stock ATT Tilt (shipped ROM/Radio/etc). If it doesn't crash it locks it up and I have to poke the reset hole.
I'll try disabling AGPS to see if that helps.. I don't have HTC Home installed, although I did a while back.

AT&T Stock with Bloat? Cause th bloat really makes the Tilt suck.
As long as HTC Home isn't running. Igo and HTC Home share a file. But like twin brothers they don't share it well.

You need to dump dutty
I wasted hours of my life getting iGo8 to work with my Kaiser. Unfortunately it's a bigger problem than just uninstalling HTC Home (if you can) and disabling A-GPS.
In the end I dumped Dutty and flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release by Laurentius26. This solved all the problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400118
Only thing that doesn't work with this ROM are custom keyboards (SIP), such as PCM Keyboard. Apart from that iGo8 works a treat

best solution so far, flash to this rom just to test, deactivate aGPS AND EVERYTHING RUNS GOOD SO FAR

Of course lol... it does not have HTC Home included.
You have to disable HTC Home, and disable A-GPS to get iGO8 to work under WM6.1.

I run IGO8 with Dutty's Diamond V1 without problems (if I disable HTC Home, that is). The reboots have something with either the legality of your IGO8 release, or with the fact that you dumped to many POI files in the POI directory (i.e. all available countries). In Dutty's Hybrid V2 this was not an issue, and it must have something to do with memory management in the Diamond ROM.
@mb: different ROMs work best for different people, no need to be a fanboy.

As mentioned in this thread, AGPS fixes it. Very odd. iGO has some quirky bugs.. This one I would consider a MAJOR bug, but oh well.. Another bug I noticed (and is on their website in the FAQS) is that their timezone/system time from GPS functionality is hosed.. Always wind up with the time on the PDA being GMT. Have to fiddle to get it to set the time right then disable that functionality or disable it and fix it in WM.
Otherwise, it seems to work well enough.. Wish I had 3d/buildings here to look at, but otherwise the maps look pretty nice with parks and such outlined. Still looking into how to add my own POI's without some silly .net gui in Windows to do it.

Just to be pedantic; AGPS is a problem in WM6.0 as well. WM6.1 may require the additional step of disabling HTC Home.

No. IGO8 works with HTC Home in Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid V2. It really depends on the OS version in the specific ROM, be it WM6 or WM6.1.

Tried the rest and went back to the Best. Duttys April 29th Hybrid is staying on my tytn2 now . Dutty will be missed here.

Missed the "may" part huh? Or got hung up on the 6.1 part? I suppose I shouldn't have even mentioned WM 6.1.

How to detect if my Kaiser has a cpu problem

Hi,
I try to use skype under WIFI/UMTS/HSDPA, but I hear one word on three/four...I thought it was a Windows Mobile Software block but it is not (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474370), I thought it was a carrier lock, but it is not. I tried a Toshiba g900 (wich is slower than Kaiser) with the same carrier and Skype works very very well, have you ever tried Skype with the Kaiser? I have the lastest Hyper Dragon ROM but it is not a ROM issue because it did not work even with its original rom and radio rom, this thing is driving me crazy! I made tests just after an hard reset and with wifi, so it is not a network issue but a device problem, how can I check if everything is ok? Maybe a benchmark to test CPU? Or what else?

I've never been able to run Skype smoothly on the Kaiser regardless of ROM. It's just too slow.

Not happening here. Running Skype 2.5 on WM 6.0 original ROM or WM 6.1 3.02 and it works fine. Just did a test call while connected to WiFi and the voice quality is great.

What's the difference between us? Different Kaiser Model? Wrong radio version? Wrong what? Why me and kilrah cannot use skype smoothly and vcespon can? Someone tells that his KAiser is fast in opening apps etc. but mine it is not fast even to open the start menu...I want to go deeper in this, what can I do to know if our Kaiser has some problems?

Mine is pretty fast doing everything, just skype will always skip very badly, regardless of version. It'll miss sound bits here and there, sometimes even blank completely for several seconds. That is, totally unusable except just for text chat.

Could you say more? We must solve it

ROM and radio firmware version can make a lot of difference. WiFi performance / RAM available. After trying dozens of ROMs for months, I only use the original WM 6.0 with 1.27.15.32 radio, or the official 3.02 with 1.58.26.20.
WiFi connection works OK for me even in "best battery" setting. I've been streaming music from shoutcast.com for half an hour without problems.
Skype 2.5 does not seem to have any problem with a test call, I have not tested it on long conversations, thoug.

Hmm actually I forgot about that setting, with WiFi on "Best Performance" a test call works fine. I was usually on "Best Battery".
Just need not to be doing other things on the phone at the same time. Can forget about using BT headset as well.

New Poll: Your experience about best Xperia radio

Hi Guys,
On previous Poll :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3765226
Radio 1.14.25.55 get 91 votes over 141 and poll finished biggest lead on all all other old radios now as we all know new radio is extracted "1.16.25.48" from new Korean R3BA015 Rom (Credits : nik40) , its rilphone.dll is not compatible as i read people experience on his thread but people live this radio , as they claim it is battery friendly...
but i think voice quality depend in real rilphone.dll
Well i am starting new Poll between these two radios let`s see now
either 1.14.25.55 is best
or
1.16.25.48 is best
Very Fine Regards

62% Guys satisfied with new radio with out rilphone.dll?

I used this radio with the supplied rilphone, however it did not automatically store the sms messages anymore. Therefor I removed the updated rilphone and went back to the rilphone of 1.14, this combination works perfect . Not much battery use, good signal reciept and still able to receive sms messages.

What is this "rilphone.dll" exactly? Can someone explain what it does?

I tried 1.16 for a while but went back to 1.14 - damn can't remember why now
I know I never tried it with the 1.14 rilphone -- it's worth a shot for a few days.

i prefer my v1.14. i can see that my gps is more sensitive on v1.14 . n as well as more stable data connection.
v1.16 got better reception, but then it keep on switch between HSDPA ./ 3G even EDGE. make it less stable.
so i stick to v1.14. oh yeah, battery is clearly show longer battery life.

so thats likely to be the jataayu messaging app in leo sets up the drm security permissions differently.. it maybe that the leo based roms use discretix rather than lockstream drm so it doesnt interfere as much..
nice find, ive not tried the 1.16rilphone yet,
so i guess it would be possible to work backwards to work out which reg is interfering with the none leo roms..
