I have just installed skype which seems to be working fine. The only problem I have is that the unit has to be left switched on. If it goes into power save mode it seems to drop the WLAN connection so does not ring when someone calls me on my skype in number. Any ideas how to get this to work as the power drain on battery means that I have to leave the handset plugged into the mains.
I am also keen to change the ring tone but am unsure if this is possible as there are no options on the set up for the mobile skype.
All help and ideas greatly appreciated.
using skype, did the video camera work?
As far as I know the camera dosenst work....
Well I dont know if it's possible. But the Data connection useres alot of batery, so it may be a problem, even if the display itself is switched off.
This phone is sold as a high end Business device etc. yet its impossible to use the video camera with yahoo , sykpe etc. What is the point of offering a front facing camera designed to be used for web type use if it will not work
I still cannot believe the HTC head engineer allowed this phone to be sold with such silly issues
Skype works here on but only on speaker and not with the Telephone speaker. Is there a solution for that??
I've got a slightly different issue besides the fact we can't use the camera. I tried both fring and skype for VoIP, but in both cases the voice quality is always pretty bad. The moment I use the phone as a modem and skype with someone over a laptop, the quality is perfect.
I am currently using skype version 2.1.0.65 on the vario III, as I read somewhere that older versions work better with the Vario III. The quality seems to be slightly better than when I had the latest version of Skype Mobile installed, but it's still far from using it to have a decent conversation. I wonder how everybody else on this forum is managing to speak over skype or fring... Or is everybody having the same issue ?
Thanks

Hi, try to use Kaiser Tweak from this forum and enable WiFi on sleep mode. Haven't tried this myself, but it should work.
Greetz,

Is there a video option on Skype for Windows Mobile in the first place?!
Guys thanks for the input and help. My skype is working fine so voice calls over a wlan connection is perfect and not sure what was meant by speaker and telephone speaker but the volume controls and microphone quality mean that you can connect to skype as a phone or handsfree phone.
Will try the Kaiser tweaks to see if that does anything and will let you know.
Haven't tried the camera but I guess it doesn't work but that doesn't really bother me. Too many camera's out there these days watching ou anyway

Why do you persist in knocking this phone at every oppourtunity?
Please tell me which phone can be used with yahoo, skype etc? I won't hold my breath for a reply, because, these services are cut-down, mobile versions of the PC based software and don't even offer video calling! So why is it HTC's fault if the people who wrote the software didn't build that function in?! Maybe they should have held back releasing this phone because my Network doesn't offer HSDPA in my area, or I can't get coverage in the middle of the Pacific, or the GPS signal is crap in the middle of the channel tunnel?! Because that is clearly HTC's fault too by your logic...
And I think you'll find the front camera is designed for 3G video calls, not web type work...so frankly, you are a bit of a Paper Hat for moaning about this really aren't you?

Back on topic, changing the ring tone, not an option unfortunately, least as far as I could find after trawling through the settings options and the registry and the actual program directories.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with Kaiser Tweak to leave WiFi active whilst is sleep mode as it will still eat up battery since the WiFi is still active. With Skype using the WiFi connection to connect, WiFi will need to be 'always-on' thus any saving you make from leaving it on during sleep mode will be negligable (I would have thought). External power (or a huge battery) is the only option.
Still it is nice to at least have the option of Skype Mobile!
Have to agree with you about the phone as I think it's awesome and the best phone I've ever bought for functionality. Don't understand the web camera thing either - just use a laptop if you want that.
Shame about the ring tone as would prefer just the normal modern skype one but it's not gonna bother me that much.
Online on the lan I actually get a decent battery life anyway when on all the time so get a good 4-6 hours on just connected which is pretty damned good.

Actually last time I really used a WiFi connection seriously was approx 4yrs ago (when you could still use ActiveSync via Wifi) and my device at the time would be dead in an hour so if you are getting 4-6 hours of uptime I would view that as excellent!
Has anyone seen this? I just installed the 15 day trial and it seems pretty stable.

Also the only way I found the apk was through the site. I havent found it on the Market yet...
checking this out now. i like it so far. HiAIM is nice, but i dont like chat bubbles plus this will let me on all of the rest of the services too, it's like trillian for android.
I can't seem to connect to it, my AIM just sits at "Authenticating..." for ever
You know it was working perfectly for me at first. Now its doing the same thing you describe.
Ugh. Why cant we find ONE im app that stays connected?

Actually, the latest update has been working amazingly well.
Bu I'm gonna check this one out as well.
Actually, forget that.
$11,- for a chat app?
hahahahahahahaha.
I prefer Palringo myself. Does all those except ICQ and Jabber I beleive.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.paxmodept.palringo.android.main
Meebo build 15 keeps you on now and auto-reconnects. It will also notify you if it is unable to reconnect due to no data (edge/3g/wifi).
I'll give this a run.
After running Mundu for the trial period, I decided not to buy it. It disconnects way too often and when it does, it will stick at "Authenticating..." until I force close the app and restart it. It's too bad, I really love the interface and has all that I am looking for but I need AIM to stay connected.
I e-mailed support and of course they blame my connection. But here I am using HiAIM and it doesn't disconnect, EVER. I guess I'll have to live with the lack of great interface/options in HiAIM.
I see someone never mentioned ebuddy or buddymob both are great IM applications and buddymob have yet to log me out unless i make a phone call or incoming call, which leave me wondering if it does that to every IM application out there?

If you're on Edge, you lose data connecton during phone calls. If you're connected via 3g or wifi, your IM connection wouldn't drop. I use both Hello IM! and Meebo (not at the same time) and both of them rarely log me off because I'm either on wifi or 3g connection.

Are you sure you aren't losing connection and it is reconnecting? People told me Palringo wouldnt disconnect for them, but testing it I found it disconnected quite frequently and was just fast to reconnect. Definitely a turn off for your friends that have you on a buddy list

I do have 3G on my cell but yet it logs off and reconnects after the conversation ends.

Yes infact it really does annoys and i noticed my friend logged in and out because of it. I noticed it reconnected because of the notification bar, does HI IM have one?

Have one what? HiAIM does not disconnect me at all (unless I am on a call, not it's fault though). I tested this by keeping an IM open with my cell phone's AIM screen name and no notices of sign off/on. I did this same thing with Palringo and would see it reconnect every few minutes.
It sucks because I like the Mundu interface, but I can't find anything as stable as HiAIM. Maybe I'll dust off my programming knowledge and try to create something on my own that will have a customizable interface as well as a stable connection

Well the customization doesnt sound half bad so people can find their own colours, but im going to test out the connection thru every messenger connection.
IM
I use meebo and it has always been stable, the autostart and UI works well. Plus its free.
hey guys.,
my problems is i wanted to upload a 50 mb movie file which i recorded with my SGS to my youtube account.
thing is it will not allow me, coz it asks for wifi connection.
however is there a workaround this? or other applications to fix this?
sure you can, as long as you stay in a good conection area, you can easily upload the recorded videos on to youtube via 3G.... asuming you have a good data plan package
I have a good plan . But the phone seem to be programmed not to allow files over 3 mb to be uploaded over 3g.
I thought maybe there is a workaround this
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
this is correct. i have the same problem. its programmed in the phone that whenever u going to upload big movies to youtube it automatically requires wifi instead of 3g..
im interested if there is a solution
Interested too....anyone?
Hey all,
I have just uploaded a video of what the two can do together, with NULL ROM on the watch side and CloudNotifier installed on a JB iPhone 5S.
I have tried to make a complete demonstration of the functionality that can be expected.
Please feel free to comment and ask.

Hi gidi,
great video! Can you please explain what you have used to tether your iPhone and the Gear?
Because I can't enable internet tethering under bluetooth settings. The checkbox for Internet acces (in Bluetooth settings on the gear) gets unchecked immediately after I try to establish a connection.
the only workaround I have found is to enable Personal Hotspot on iPhone. But I don't like this (eats battery and there is a blue notification always blinking on iphone)
is there another easy way to tether iphone and the gear?
kind regards,
Robert

Robert, my man, I am using MyWi 7 for tethering. Even though my carrier allows tethering, I am still using it because it enables me to share wifi connection via BT.
I've had a problem the last few months with my music stuttering when I'm on wifi. This problem does not occur on 4g connection.
The problem is on any wifi network I'm on. It's really annoying. First I thought it was a Spotify problem and reinstalled the app, but that didn't help.
Music played from the player stutters as well when on wifi.
I've tried googling this, but I can't seem to find anyone who has had this problem
Anyone else with this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Have the same problem, but haven't found a solution yet.

Give us details guyz. We are jot gods. Firmware version? Custom or official? Any background apps that sucking your wifi while you are connected? Just saying that if you are connected on wifi your phone is uploading on cloud and that means lower connection for the rest. Its the only thing that comes in my mind. And i would suggest you to remove connectivity between clouds like google photos, onedrive etc and check again

Firmware version EVA-L09C432B393. Official version. I've got nothing that's uploading when I'm on wifi. The only thing that is set to upload the photo app when I've taken new photos, but that is like once a month maybe.

I got B394 and i can tell you that i never faced such issues even with earlier versions. Although im considered lucky because i have 300mbps up-down on my home internet and unlimited up-down speeds, unlimited data and i dont suffer with my streaming.
Try to remove every sync from the settings, like mail , google viber, facebook etc etc. Its most likely the reason why you have lag spikes. Go on Wi-Fi and activate the setting that allows you to see the download-upload speed on the top of your screen. This way you will be able to check in-out data. connect on your wifi and check if there is movement. I can not see where else is the problem. If you have data cap on upload it could be the big reason why you get stuttering on wifi when you are using streaming music. After you desync your phone run your app and check if you are facing the same issue. If that fails most likely your phone is suffering from a hungry memory app.
All of my playlists are offline lists as well. And I don't have the stuttering when I'm offline.
I can't find any option to show up and down speed on the wifi. But our home wifi is really good, and we have no cap on upload speed.
And I find it weird that it affects both music apps. I have songs saved on my phone and these also stutter when on wifi, even though there shouldn't be any reason for it.
Take a look o.n the upper right side what I mean. And just to answer your question yes. It does feed something somewhere when you are connected on wifi. There is no other explanation. Awful but its happening. Did you try the rest i suggested you?

Thanks for the help.
Me and my husband found out what was wrong. There is something wrong with the SD card I had in my phone. Turns out Spotify was saving all of my playlists there and it couldn't handle being connected to wifi I guess.
And the SD card somehow ****ed up my wifi connection speed as well. Did speedtests with it in and out and it was a big difference.
