Hi
Ive just bought a EK-GC100 for my sister.
I was hoping for her to be able to use voice control to take pictures.
Whenever I try to use S Voice I get "network error Please try again", even though I'm connected to my home wifi.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Ive tried searching but only bring up results for Samsung phones.
Also, Is there a Bluetooth remote control that will work with the Camera? I got a free one but Camera doesn't see it in bluetooth settings.
Hope someone can help me, as my sister has Macular degeneration so can't see the camera controls.
thanks in advance.

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!
Hey guys! New here, just got my Kaiser. And I apologize if this has been posted before, but I searched and found WAY to many results, and was having a hard time narrowing down.
Does anyone know how to use DIALUP on the Kaiser? I have my dialup number and set it up as a connection, but it always fails.
I was just curious to get this to work as I currently dont have a dataplan because most places I go have WIFI - cept to and from work, so it would be nice just to hop on and burn some minutes just reading the news.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Actually, since I am here I might as well post other questions that I have thought of:
Is there a way to use the GPS without paying a monthly fee VIA a different program? AND is a dataplan needed for that?
Is there a way to use my currently Motorola HS850 headset to listen to music, etc?
Is there away to have the alarm on the phone sound even if I have the phone on silent? I have always used my cells as my alarm clock, but I need to turn the ringer off at work, and sometimes forget when i get home.
Again, I apologize if any of these have been posted. But if someone is more familar with the search functions on this forum, hopefully you can direct me to the right place.
Thanks in advance!
from what i've been told Att disabled your ability to use dial up, so if you've got att service you're sol. if not then ya might get an answer from someone else...
gps you can use it over the net...but either you need a data plan or else pay per use on the net kb's...
i dont know what the hs850 is. however there are many adapters from mini usb to whatever. i just picked one up for mini usb to 3.5mm headphone jack/usb, works great.
Yeah. I just grabbed a USB off ebay!
I just bought this, having big problems with connection dropped/ not able to re-connect...
Does anyone have live view working with the GT?
I received my SELiveView on Saturday, charged it up followed the instruction to connect it to my GTab. Then I installed the new firmware as recommended by Sony this is a fantastic device, works like a dream.
Hmm..... Followed a tip i found on xda, installed minfreeemanger changed settings to medium and secondary service to 6. This seems to help with the dropped connectionn issue alittellbit... Still looses connection from time to time... The SE liveview is very nice when connection stayes up....
I tested the SELiveView today and the only time it dropped connection was when I was out of range.
I found a workaround that works OK, I installed automateit from market and added a rule that if liveview is disconnected liveview application is launched.... seems to work OK... ill report back after testing tomorrow....
Hmm.. seems like the workaround to disable the Bluetooth pbap service really helps with connection....
I just renamed /system/app/BluetoothPbap.apk to BluetoothPbap.apk.bak...
This is the Bluetooth sharing service, so if it breaks something for you ....don't do it!

Hmm...i don know... i would not expect it... but this is why i recommend you to just rename the file... or in your case you should just kill the service and try your parrot.....

Hi guys,
After many hours and days of searching google for a solution to this I'm still stumped.
I have a Galaxy S i9000 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (had same problem with previous versions also) and I am trying to connect it to my Nokia 616 car kit in "hands free" mode, however, it keeps automatically connecting via "remote sim mode". I can confirm there is no way to disable rSAP (remote sim mode) through the nokia 616, nokia staff were not very helpful either.
There was an option in my old Samsung Jet (i think it was running touchwiz) bluetooth settings which allowed me to switch remote sim mode on and off. The only setting that exists on my SGS is after I connect to the nokia 616 i get the "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode?" option from the drop down bar... However, when I do so, the connection to the car kit is lost and upon reconnect it automatically connects using "Remote Sim Mode", regardless of how many times i try an "deactivate" it...
The only posts I could find about deactivating remote sim mode tell me to hit "Yes" to "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode", then to switch bluetooth off and then on. This does not solve my issue. Problem persists.
The only thing I can think of now is somehow finding perhaps a command line instruction that I can run from terminal to disable remote sim mode or even change a config file somewhere to deactivate it.
Does anybody have any idea how this can be done or maybe just give me a lead on where I can search next, I've hit a dead end with this now and im sure it can be done, somehow.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I'm sorry I cannot help you with this problem, but at least you're not the only one: I have exactly the same problem, but then with a Nokia 616 and a Galaxy S2.
I want it to connect with the normal HFP, so I do not loose the internet connectivity on my phone...
SOLVED Finally!
So after a while of searching then giving up, then contemplating ripping out my nokia 616 car kit and setting it on fire, I decided to revisit this issue and here is how I managed to disable/remove/deactivate remote sim mode or rsap... please note that I havnt really tested to see if this affects any other bluetooth functionality (i dont think it does though) so do at your own risk...
I ended up flashing my galaxy s with Darkys rom 10.2 extreme edition which gave me some nifty options of removing some stock bluetooth apps... I noticed there were a number of bluetooth related apps there, Bluetooth.apk , BluetoothOpp.apk, BluetoothPbap.apk, BluetoothTestMode.apk and the devil himself BrcmBluetoothServices.apk... at first i uninstalled them all except Bluetooth.apk, my phone starting throwing some bluetooth error which was expected, these errors disappeared after I rebooted the phone... I noticed that the 616 no longer connected using rSap (victory!), however, I was almost certain that not all of the apps i removed above would be causing the issue, and im sure that if anything having them removed would cause issues elsewhere so the process of elimination began... I reinstalled them all again, rebooted my phone, sure enough remote sim mode was back, then one by one i uninstalled, rebooted, tested, etc etc untill i came to the conclusion that the app responsible to rSap was in fact BrcmBluetoothServices.apk, after uninstalling it and rebooting Hands Free mode works a treat, I still get a "download error" when i try to download my contacts to the 616 but Im not to fussed about it, at least i can still use all the functionality of my phone in my car now, internet etc etc... as mentioned earlier I dont know if this will have any effect on the other uses for bluetooth so do be careful, not a huge issue because it can be easily reinstalled if nessecary using DarkysRom Tool...
Now I am sure this can be done on a stock firmware, you would most definitely need to root the phone and then find some sort of system app manager to hunt down BrcmBluetoothServices.apk and remove it...
Thats it! If anybody can work out how to successfully download contacts to the nokia 616 please post it here or pm me.

I've not had that issue. It's working great for me. I had an M7 back in the day and this blows the HTC remote away.

I wish I could agree but since IR blasters on HTC phones can learn I would take that over the S6's anyday.
I'm having the same issue.. while setting the remote control.. the tv doesn't turn on.. stil don't have any solution for this
I didn't have any issues with FC's but I did notice that I would close the app and the icon would still be in the status bar indicating that it is running. I wouldn't even be home and it would still be running.
