Looks like a minor upgrade. There is a PPC version and a Smart phone version, not sure of the differences or which is best for the Touch Pro.
Hi,
It is a major upgrade since a new voice engine is included.
The on the touch pro you need to install the pocket pc version.

Does it fix the issue with the sound playing out of the back speaker instead of the front one?
My company just made skype standard platform for internet call. Just wonder if this PDA version ad free? I installed desktop version but hate the pop-ups and silly ad on top. Well, I knew I should not complain as I use it for free.
ok i have a question. if i install this skype on my phone and my friend in india installs skype on his phone as well are those calls free if we can call each other through skype? I am always around wifi in the US and my friend has internet on his phone all the time since its dirt cheap (30 cents a day for unlimited in case your wondering)

do u guys know if this skype can be used with bluetooth headset?
"00" = "+" to make calls
Maybe this is common knowledge, but it took me an hour to find answer, which I eventually found on skype forums. I've used skype on PC for couple years, but just installed it on Fuze.
Problem is, you have to dial numbers in international format. For USA, that means you dial a "+1" before the area code and number. Skype 2.5 softphone has no way to type a "+" symbol and you cannot set it up to do so automatically like Skype on PC. Also, it does not accept input from our phones keyboard.
So, I found on Skype forums if you type "00" it equals the "+" symbol. Maybe its common knoweldge, but it gave me a hell of a time. Hope it helps.
...anyone know how to import Outlook Mobile Contacts into Skype mobile contacts?
Current Pocket PC version: 2.5.0.170. Release date: February 16, 2009 solved problem with Skype shuting down upon initiating skype call on my Touch Pro with Proven 1.14a ROM.
Finally I can make calls with skype on TP
Hey guys, I tested this over an EVDO data connection and wifi with and without a headset (wired). The quality of voice call was acceptable in every circumstance on both ends. However, not sure if this is an issue with my wireless ISP, using the EVDO data (and this has never happened) my data connection was disconnected within a minute or 2 in 3 consecutive calls. I have never had a disconnect issue before, and I did not receive a standard call to my phone in that period of time. Again, I am not sure if this is Skype causing the issue, or an issue with my stock Bell Mobility ROM/ISP. My guess would be Bell.
has anyone tried to use this with bluetooth headset?
Skype over Normal (front) phone speaker/ BT Problem

Keep this issue alive...
My guess is there is a registry setting or three to adjust related to the default audio gateway instructions for Skype output, but I had trouble locating them before flying overseas (and therefore, using a WIRED headset for every skype call). I will look again, but anyone who has this fix, or an idea about solving the problem, please weigh in.
If this can be taken care of, then the "Call using Skype" option in Contacts may actually make Skype on a mobile work like a true IP phone client and change my mind about leaving Skype running on my mobile al the time instead of forwarding incoming Skypes to my mobile number (and paying for the forwarding) in an effort to avoid every answered Skype call being on speakerphone by default.

There is no registry setting or such thing (also see the Skype forums for this issue) to achieve this. According to the developer(s) they have no possibility to use the earpiece speaker from their code as the phone OS will not allow this...
CU,
Cactus World
P.S. If anyone finds a way, please share as this issue is very annoying indeed!
test results
OK, so the speaker issue is not resolved.
As mentioned before, physical keyboard is not working: on-screen keyboard fine.
I only use skype on wifi, but for me the call quality is improved.
So, other than the keyboard issue, it's a good update.
to use skype through the earpice instead of the speaker just install troca2.cab works perfect
skype blocked fring ,what shouldwe do to use skype now onmobile?
Good question, since there's no skype for android whatsoever and that skype beta lite that was floating around is a useless piece of crap.... My guess it's we are fkt.
The first thing I noticed when I switched to android was the lack of an official skype app and I can't believe that skype completely ignores android. Maybe now that android released their SDK publicly we will seen some app that will integrate skype.
Or if skype team start doing some work they release the goddam official app.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Skype turned into Verizon's *****.
I just switched to nimbuzz, it's free in the market.
Edit: I haven't tried calling on it yet, but text is fine.
Calling works, but no video support.
calling drops on nimbuzz the sec it trys to connect.
I was testing Nimbuzz; for me it works great over WiFi, sluggish over 3G/E.. Anyway, as far as I see, right now the only skype solution..

how i tried both wifi and 3g drops the whole time
Every time I run Skype it crashes. Not only does it crash, the phone reboots. I'm on the CM7 nightly from 7/6 and everything works great except this annoying app.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to make calls overseas? I travel a lot for work and had previously relied heavily on skype but this is driving me insane. Fring is fugly and other apps I've seen seem sketchy somehow.
Any recommendations?
I actually may have solved my own problem. Not with Skype, but an app that works extremely well with Google Voice which is what I was hoping for anyway.
GrooVe IP. I saw it in the Amazon Appstore... works well overseas. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is having the same problem.
I have a problem with my Mate S updated to the latest stock EMUI 4.0.1.
With every app that consents an internet voip call (Skype, Hangout, Whatsapp, Viber) I can listen without any problems my interlocutor but my voice will be cut avery 4/5 seconds for 4/5 seconds each time so that the call is impossible. Only sometime everything works, it seems when the screen is off and then restart to have problems when it is turned on again.
The strange problem is that this happens also with another phone, a Honor 7, so another Huawei phone, and this does not happens at all with Galaxy or other phones.
The problem is present with different internet connections, wifi, interlocutors, so this is not related with the network infrastructure at all.
Could please someone gives me some hints on how to investigate further this problem and kindly tell me if you have faced the same problem?
Many thanks!
UPDATE:
The Huawei official support says that they cannot guarantee the compatibility with Third party Android App so in fact their OS or Hardware have serious bugs and they are not interested in discovering the reason. For them you simply need to avoid using most famous third party app, so do not use your phone like a smartphone.
Please consider buying different company than Huawei if you want to use internet calls

That's strange...I don't have that problems and I'm in the same version, maybe you have a hardware problem.

Thanks for you reply sebastassara. This is the first thing I thought when it happened the first time with my Mate S, in June, but then I bought last week a Honor 7 and I was really sorry to discover that the problem was exactly the same. For this I could not believe that it is and hw issue, or otherwise I would be completely out of luck!
I think more in a OS problem but I am trying to find at least to why it happens or how to solve it, but at least what cause this problem...
Dear members!
My problem is, that whenever I try to use facebook messenger app for wideo calling, my partner barely hear what I'm saying.
Currently I'm using the latest RR 7.1.2 build from the forums, and used several cusom roms,but this problem was common in all of them. In the official 6.0.1 TW the fb messenger video call works properly.
Furthermore the second microphone is not seems to working. As I remember it worked as a dictaphone mic.
Is there any solution? Somebody has the same problem?
Thanks for the answers, and thanks for the developers for theese great roms!
