P4350 or P3600 for Skype compatibilty?

Which phone do you suggest has best performance with Skype out and Skype In
also do the Skype mobile versions support skype SMS and does this work well.
Battery issues and performance with Skype running on each model?
I have read a few things about the GPS functionality on P3600.. is this true?

Skype: The 4350 (Herald) only has a 200MHz processor, so technically the P3600 ought to be better as Skype is processor intensive. Skype 2.2 doesn't work properly with 3600; not sure about 4350. Skype 2.1 works fine.
Of course the major difference is that the 4300 has a hard keyboard. For a faster processor, wait for the Tytn II
GPS: There are no problems with the P3600 GPS. Most reported problems are either due to people messing with the default settings, or not configuring the Application settings of the various GPS programs properly.

Skype 2.2 works great with mine P3600. For chat only

Are You Serious?
Using Skype for Chat only, is, well,.....
Looks like Skype/Google folks are planning something. It´s plain deadbrain to kill some devices out of your "latest" SW upgrade.
Don´t you think?.
I just have had to pass 2.1 to some surprised friend that just bought a new P3600.
Unbealivable.

skype 2.1 on 3600 / trinity
So then Skype 2.1 works with trinity for voice calls?
also anyone has any experience of making Skype SMS work with Skype for Mobile>?

I have replaced it with v2.1 and everything's just fine now. Voice calls are OK.

No - it's not at all true. You have not read a few things about the GPS functionality on P3600 at all.
If you could explain what you think you read - I could have a go at answering.
TO let you know - with recent (since March) ROMs, the GPS functionality is activated and works very well indeed.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying!

That's what I meant, 2.1 works OK with voice calls.
I haven't tested the SMS feature.

Lucky man!
Where in the world you get "unlimited" voip 3G access for free? (monthly flat rate I suppose) I want that too! ;o)
I'm sure you have spoiled lot of jealous readings on your post......
BTW do you have a reading on how much 3G Mb data your Voip calls use per minute?

Talkonaut - New Voice over IP Client

Hi there,
anyone tested "Talkonaut" yet?
It's a VOIP Client which allows you to call your googletalk contacts via voip.
Besides that, you can integrate your existing sip accounts and make voip calls just like in sipdroid.
Just discovered it in the market and made a few tests.
I called a friend over googletalk and he can hear me clearly but unfortunately I can't hear him.
I don't know if it's the program or a wrong setting. I'm able to call the same friend with the windows gtalk client without any problems.
Then, I tried to connect to my gizmo5 account, it kinda works sometimes but very choppy. Sipdroid is better suited for this purpose.
It still seems to be in development, perhaps it gets better in the future

What would be awesome, is if there was a way to use my Google voice account with my g1 but using data and not voice hehe.

VOIP on Android? What to do now Skype god fringing damned screwed us?

Hi all,
VOIP'ing with Android...is this still possible/worthwhile now Skype is blocking Fring?
Why / how?
All comments more than welcome!

i use sipdroid with my google voice/gizmo number
i think skype gives you the number and server info you can put into sipdroid doesnt it?

Nimbuzz works fine with Skype over WiFi, 3G/E (at least in the Netherlands) is slow.. as far as I see, best Skype solution right now..

Is it still possible to get a gizmo number? if so how?
I need VOIP so i can get rid of my blackberry and be able to receive calls in low signal areas that have wifi (ie my HOUSE)
I'm tired of carrying 2 phones to make sure i don't miss calls thanks to the UMA feature on the BB.

lets all file a complain to skype to extend skype rollout to all android devices regardless of carrier (lucky americans on verizon,damn you )

isn't there a way for videocall with skype?

i dont believe so, i signed up for it ages ago when i had my nokia and had forgotten about it, luckily i had it set up before google locked it down, hopefully they'll open it back up eventually

Personally I use SIPDROID with www.voipcheap.com (very very good rates a free call plans). If you want a good selection of DID numbers try www.localphone.com
SIPDROID does some sort of video call, if I recall correctly it is a little strange their method, never used it myself, but there is a demo on their website.

[Q] Skype for AT&T

Hi,
I am new to this, just flashed my AT&T N1 to CM6 RC3 yesterday and I am exploring everything new. Is there a way to get skype for my N1? I know they have it on Verizon, why no AT&T love? Is there some sort of way to access the verizon android app market to download it?
Please help,
Thanks

No Skype.
You can download Nimbuzz or any other Skype-supporting client.

is it possible that skype for verizon is ported to At&T?

And by any other client, you mean... ???
With Fring having dropped Skype support, I thought Nimbuzz was the only Android client that supported Skype voice, yah?

SIPDroid, I believe, allows Skype calls.
Also Skype Lite, which was dropped by Skype, can still be easily found on the internet.

SIPDroid, I was unaware of. But doesn't Skype Lite just use your minutes instead of data, for voice calls, which makes it kinda worthless?

AFAIK, that is the Verizon Skype, that the OP insists on getting for no good reason I could think of, and Skype Lite is the old version that looks and feels like a regular mobile Skype.

Maybe it feels like a mobile Skype, but it doesn't connect via wifi or 3g data and use my skype credit/subscription to make Skype VOIP to phone calls, or use the network for Skype to Skype calls. It uses your phone's minutes to connect to the Skype network for making calls.

[Q] Google Voice?

I can't find Google Voice...I find that odd. Am I misiing something?

Nah man I can't find it either I think hopefully theyll try to make an optimized version, regardless, I'm a little upset
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

If you try to install it via market.android.com, it says it's an invalid device.

not compatible yet. Should have an update soon. I have found other apps like logmin ignition don't work either. Sure updates will roll out soon

anyone have an idea on timing for google voice? really would love to be able to make a voice call and get sms.
google translate isn't compatible either...not sure why. seems like it should be able to run the phone version just fine.

I suspect that voice calls will not work even when/if we get google voice app in here. Unless google decides to push gtalk direct dialing like on the browser gmail.

I don't think they'll let you make calls from the xoom or any tablet, I think the most they'll do is to let us send text messages over the xoom, just because this is a tablet not a phone, but then you never know...

you already can with skype

Something I thought about was just using the browser to access the google voice webpage, which you can use to text message as well. It does work better when you change the browser userstring to desktop instead of android.

i tried a little while ago to run the latest version and got fc right off the bat. It may be as simple as a slight APK mod. Ill try a few things and report back.

Did you get it working

By using Fring VoIP, SIPGate, and Google Voice I can make VoIP calls with my Xoom. Once you set up Fring with SIPGate, add your SIPGate number to GV. Go to the GV website on your Xoom, lookup a contact can call. It will forward the call to your SIPGate number and ring on the Xoom through Fring. Works great.
Still waiting for an official GV app though.

I've been in touch with team at Google. At first, I was given the following response:
Thanks for your note. At this time, Google Voice is not compatible with the Motorola Xoom, because the Xoom doesn't have the required telephone features.

After replying that I didn't exactly need the telephone features, but rather the SMS and voicemail checking features, I got this back:
At this time, it's not possible to use the Google Voice app on the Xoom, but I will definitely share your feedback with the Google Voice team.

Hope this helps to resolve some of the confusion!

doesn't csipsimple use honeycombs native phone capabilities? If so why can't GV?
Lacking that what about after the 4g upgrade? Will it not have a radio then technically?

I believe the reason there isn't telephone capabilities is that Google isn't interested in creating a full-fledged VoIP solution just yet. You can see they're testing the waters with the VoIP calling in Gmail, but if they were truly dedicated to the concept, they would have added VoIP capabilities to the standard Android app or released SIP information. After all, Gingerbread and the Nexus S have the capabilities to run something like that.

This is a deal breaker for me on the xoom/Honeycomb. iPad has official GVoice app that does sms, missed calls, & voicemail and it has the talkatone app that does GVoice voip calls. You can put away your phone while using your tablet and not miss anything.
If your GV number is set to ring gmail/gtalk will a the gtalk app ring on a xoom?

Instead of Fring I am now using SIPDroid and it works great. Even tethering from my Incredible.

It looks like I'm going to have to put off the Xoom until more features are enabled.

I'm sure google has some clueless employees too, and given that they developed a GV app for the iPad, which also lacks telephone functionality, I'm betting that that's all this is....one of Google's few clueless.
