Hi there,
I got a problem which I would like to share with you. When using skype with a GPRS conn, the program do not initiate a connection. If it is using WiFi, then it works with no problems. If I have initiated a GPRS conn with some other program, i.e. browsing with my opera browser, then skype connects with no problems to the allready initiated GPRS conn. What can cause this?
Thanks in advance.
skype over gprs?
would this even work, skype needs a broadband speed connection to work and skype do not support calls over gprs, maybe this is why
Skype will only work over wifi or 3G, it will not work over GPRS.

3G or HSPDA - just the same. Skype do not initiate any conn. To be able to log in I must, at first, start a browser, open a page, keep the conn alive and then to log in with Skype
When you first ran it, did you set it to only connect on WiFi?
Log into Skype, then go to Menu > Settings
Scroll down to Connection
In Connection Method, does it say WiFi and 3G, or Use Wifi only?
If connected using WiFi only is selected, it may refuse to initiate a 3G connection, but will happily use on if its already active.

Yes, I have selected both WiFi and 3G and I see the screen warning me that Skype is going to use a 3G conn. The problem is that Skype do not initiate any conn, just use any if it is already initiated. WiFi conn is switched on manually by the user, not Skype. Same is with 3G - it must be initiated previously from some other program and Skype just uses it. Further more, if 3G conn is closed while using SKype, then Skype can not initiate it again. All this is too strange for me. I uninstalled Skype, deleted all files connected with it, checked registry for strings that might be in use from Skype, then installed it again and nothing changed. I have no other installed programs for handling internet connections, just those that come built in with my PPC.
I had this problem with another program that wouldn't initiate the connection. I checked my connection settings, and it was set to automatically dial MEdia Net (since i use AT&T) and I switched it to automatically dial My ISP GPRS and ever since, my programs have been dialing fine.
hey man i had the same issues i went in to conection settings and changed them to media net becouse thats what i use thats in conections then conections advanced select networks i also disabled my proxy in conections 2 and it worked for me dont know witch one of those did it for me but that should get you in the right direction
Yeah, you have to select media net as default, and disable the proxy.
The proxy is the one that's preventing you from connecting. Other programs figure it out but some don't bother and can't connect.
hey sorry if i'm hijacking ur thread but
I was curious if anyone knows about this. I'm not using a 3g connection as well. My skype gives me the option of using a "cellular" connection, but it doesn't show it connecting to my edge or gprs. I was curious as to whether anyone know if it's edge or gprs? (trying to find out if it's using minutes or whatever.. a connection besides edge n grps)
Thanks for your time
Hi,
I'm currently running L24 V4 and I experience an anoying problem in the internet connection using pop3 email (messaging). When I enable my WLAN it won't send/receive my email via this connection. Instead it opens a GRPS connection. This is not what I want. The second problem is that when I try to connect trough gprs it only works when I set the network connection in advanced server settings of "edit account setup" of my pop3 account to "Vodafone GPRS". Settings like "work" and "the internet" doesn't let me connect to grps at all. So doing this way it looks like I'm forcing the email connection to GPRS.
I have this problem only for email. Browsing the internet goes fine. If I have WLAN it goes trough wireless. If WLAN is not on it opens GPRS. For mail this doesn't work.
Any idea?
Cheers!

I have this same exact problem. Is this a known problem or does anyone have a fix? I'm using the official HTC WM6.1 rom btw.
Also, just to clarify, if I change the Network connection setting to 'The Internet' in the POP3 email settings, I can send/receive email over wifi but not via GPRS/3G. If I change the Network connection setting to 'MEdia Net' (US AT&T GPRS/3G connection), I can send/receive email via GPRS/3G, and it always uses GPRS/3G even if wifi is available. All other internet programs I use (Internet Explorer Mobile, Opera Mini, CorePlayer, HTC Home weather) connect over wifi when available instead of using GPRS/3G.
Using my HTC Touch Diamond with the company VPN, I have a strange problem:
. Trying to connect to my VPN with GPRS signal, everything is ok, VPN is opening and my device works correctly.
. Trying to connect to my VPN with 3G or HSDPA, VPN is not working(independly from the signal level). The messages received are "Server Problem ..." or "Disconected from remote..."
I'm using IPsec/L2TP protocol and a private key.
Before the Diamond I succesfully used P3600, Q9090, Q9000 in the same VPN. I have no idea where is the possible solution.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance
I'm trying to get a SIP account working over a VPN connection on my GS, however it fails to register whenever I'm connected by the VPN. My company has an external PBX that's only accessible over VPN, and when I'm in the office on wireless (which is already connected to the VPN) the SIP account works fine. Does anyone know a fix for this? I searched the forums but didn't turn anything up.
I did find this though... http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14043 which seems to be the exact issue I'm having, but the link with the alleged fix is broken.
Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!
The SIP service that comes with Gingerbread does not work over a VPN. Try using Csipsimple or Sip Droid, i can connect using Csipsimple over a VPN.
Thanks for the tip, I've tried CSipSimple, looks really good but still won't let me connect over the VPN. Tried on 3g and wireless, same deal, connection refused. Works fine when I'm not on the VPN. Is there some setting in CSipSimple that lets you specify a VPN?
firewall VPN
Hi! This is my first post here in xda-developers. I just wanted to pitch in and maybe get an answer to my problem as well.
I've been trying to use CSipSimple thru a Fortigate VPN with a 3CX PBX System. I managed to register it using a L2TP VPN configured both in the Firewall and my Android phone (btw, it's a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, Gingerbread 2.3.6 Rooted). I can make and receive calls on my phone, but I have one very annoying problem: I can't hear the person on the other end from my phone. They hear me just well (with awesome sound quality), but I can't hear them.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
BTW, regarding the topic above: have you configured your Firewall to accept the VPN users? And maybe check ports 5060, 8000-8020, 9000-9020 to be open?
I am not able to connect to voice server. (the one tht gets activated by double pressing home button). Rest everything internet related is working perfect, including voice input in message creation.
Everytime I try I get “unable to connect to server. Please check your connection settings and try again” message.
I am using TP-Link wifi router, and connecting via PPPOE option.
Any solutions ?
PLEASE READ: I can access the voice server if I use my another backup internet line where I connect using “Auto Detect” method. Voice server also works if I use my mobile provider GPRS internet.
Bump nobody?
