I just took the plunge and upgraded.
I will be heading to costa rica in 2 weeks and need to be in contact with my practice. Someone mentioned skype. I was reading about it, but the consensus is that it doesnt work on 6.1.
Anyone hve experience?

google skype version 2.2.0.18 and install it it will solve the no audio issue.... but ur main concern will be getting wifi access in Costa Rica because if you roam using Data it may be cheaper to just use cellular
can you link or attach the installer?

Don't forget that using wifi doesn't count as data, so it's free to use worldwide. It may work well using local hotspots.
So what about the newest 2.2.0.37 version. I make calls but dont hear anything over the earpiece.

Ok. They are up to 2.2.0.45. It does come up and run. Lets you sign in and all. My problem is that I called the "Echo / Sound Test Service" and there was no sound. Can anyone else reproduce?
Search for a thread titled "VoIP on wifi" there is a version of Skype linked on the 2nd page that works.

What about working on 3G? I couldn't care less if it worked on WiFi.
the newest version is not working ... again.... damn!
I posted about this over on the general Titan section... I installed, was able to sign in and all - but still no sound. Skype reported that this was compatible with Windows Mobile 6.1, but maybe it's a problem with the Titan itself? Any ideas? I was able to call my friend with this and their Skype ringed, but no sound coming either way.
Also - you can instant message with it - just not talk... Anybody?
WTF?!
Seriously, people have posted this already. The latest version of Skype does not work on the Titan. When they tell you it is compatible with Windows Mobile 6.1 clearly it is since it installs and runs. You have to use an older version of Skype to get the audio to work. I personally use a Beta version. There is even a version of skype that works with the Titan stated earlier in this thread.
Yeah, Skype has declared 6.1 support with the Skype ver 2.2.0.45 released yesterday.
Frankly I'm more worried about the chat features than voice. So as long as it launches...

Not sure about 3G. I don't use Verizon's data network. I have wifi access everywhere I use my phone so I quit paying for it. Try it out and let us know. It's the only version I could get sound with over wifi though.

I did a search and realize that older versions didn't work on the Titan, but with a brand new release as of yesterday, I was hoping some of the issues had been addressed by Skype in the latest release...
Try this version:

It works great over WiFi. Not sure about 3G, but it is the only version that I could find with working sound.

Are you sure it works? It won't even come up on my titan. See my signature for the versions I'm using.
I just used it to talk to my cousin (over wifi) in Spain last week with dcd 3.2.2 and radio 3.42.02. I did install the VoIP feature in dcd's kitchen. I have not tried it with the latest dcd kitchen though.
Try doing a soft reset after install before opening the program.

It worked after a clean ROM install, but now I am also having the same problem.
I think it is because I uninstalled it and tried the new version released yesterday linked above. When I went to reinstall it and open it nothing happened as you say. Just the hour glass. Weird.
I assume you have also been trying multiple versions after your last ROM install?

Sorry if this is a dumb Question but I have not been able to find a true answer.
What is the advantage of updating My Radio Rom from 1.20 to either 1.27 or 1.35 or should I leave well enough alone.
Its up to you, the 1.35.00.11 version of the radio has the GPS chip enabled, but as you will see in the GPS thread the GPS chip works but has no antenna. The radio should be more stable, and i noticed an increase in the range of my 3G area with it. Make sure to use the version available here (at the top) because they push "des SSPL" to the phone so you dont need to worry about which bootloader or CID you have (not that it matters about CID with radio upgrades...but you know what i mean )
Thanks, i'll probably upgrade to 1.35 using the link you provided
Just upgraded, very straightforward.
One slight issue. After upgrade and soft reset I could not make a data connection.
I made a voice call just to check that was working . . .
then all was OK.
Don't know if the voice call sorted it or what
just make sure you have GPS off or your battery will be in for a ride

Hi,
I also flashed 1.35 nice and easy. So where can you turn GPS off ?
Thanks for the help

Don't worry, GPS isn't enabled unless you install the VRSerial driver (which aint easy....). Even then, it's only turned on when an application specifically opens the GPS comm port.

I recently upgraded and it was a major improvement for me. Far fewer dropped calls, better reception, etc.
I have noticed a noticeable decrease in in-call volume...is this an issue with this rom? At max volume, I have trouble hearing in a noisey environment...never had this problem before.
RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe wants to connect to the internet?
I upgraded my radio rom yesterday and kept the installation file, RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe, on my laptop. I downloaded the file with the link supplied in the wiki page.
Now today I get a warning from my f-secure saying that the exe file “RUU_1.35.00.11_radio_only.exe” wants to connect to the internet. I clicked deny and it kept trying to connect four more times then it stopped. I scanned the file for viruses and Trojans but F-Secure didn’t find any.
Anyone else had the same problem or perhaps knows whats going on?

If the phone won't start, after flashing radio 1.35, simply reflash the SO.

Just set up the t-mobile connections manually and you should be fine.
ok, forgive me for being spoiled with autoconfiguration....I think I found the settings on tmobiles web page...but i cant seem to find where to put them.

You go to Start>Setting>Connection, then you will see an icon called "Connections". The iconn has c omputer, two mobile phones and a globe. Click on that, and click on "Add a new modem connection" . Enter the name of your Tmobile company, and in the select a modem window, choose "Cellular GPRS". On the next screen, enter the Access Point Name. If you don't know what is the access point name, call your phone company and ask them.
Thats' it. Very simple.
ok, i setup a tmobile mms connection and all I did was input wap.voicestream.com into the APN and then clicked finish. Now my direct push email is working and the net is working as well. Does anyone know if that should be all I need setup to access my full tmobile data plan that I have?
ok, everything seems to be working now except my receiving of picture messages....I had a friend send me a pic and i got the text from the picture message as a normal sms, not mms. once I tried to open the sms, it gave me an error that It couldnt download the msg and it would be left in the inbox....gotta be another setting somewhere....

I hope touchlasvegas dont mind if I ask a "few" questions.
1. I'm interested in flashing this ROM, can I go back to AP4 if I choose to? There wont be a problem with the repartitioning when its already done right?
2. In the addons, did Irus put the Windows Live and MSN messenger v10.6..... or is it a previous version?
3. Also in addons, which Windows Mobile is in there....is it the same one in AP4? I'm also looking for the Comm Manager and USB to PC from Ap4?
If I can get just these few things.....I'm ready to install this more stable ROM!!!
Thanks
depends on what SPL your using...I'm on SPL 1.2 so i can bounce around on various roms as long as they are the same SPL. I believe Irus has an spl 1.2 AP4 rom, but do you know which spl you are running? I do not remember seeing the windows live and messenger apps in the addons but i may have overlooked them...easy enough to download the latest versions though. Pretty much each little piece of software you need...you'll need to get the latest version and download it. I'm lovin the speed of the ultra vanilla though, all menus are snappy instead of the slug I had been used to.
and to anyone else concerned, I tracked down the connection wizard cab in another thread, ran that and it setup all my tmobile settings perfectly...so its all good now. I have one last issue, not being able to change the softkeys...I would prefer it to say just email...or mail, instead of Gmail at the bottom right. By chance anyone know of a cab file that would remove the bottom bar totally?
I'm running Ap4.0 3.5spl. I just dont know if any of the things that I'm looking for is available in his addons.
So the answer to the first question is....."yes" I can re-flash the PK Ap4.0 ROm if I want to go back to it?
I believe you can, I wish someone else with spl 3.5 could chime in..I do not have that spl yet, so I dont have any experience with it. It would make sense that you could change between any 3.5 spl roms though
Thanks for the help touchlasvegas.
A couple questions for you. What SIP's are apart of this ROM? Is teksoft fingertouch in there?
Would you recommend IYHO to flash to this ROM? I'm reading nothing but good stuff about it!

Hi CRU2008,
I hope you don't mind that i'm answering some of your questions.
Fingertouch is not included because Irus has no permission by Teksoftco to provide it.
This rom is great, very fast and stable. I had some annoying issues with the bluetooth stack and my Cardo BT headset. Every time a call came in, after a few seconds the bluetooth connection was lost.
So i had to go back to AP4 (i disabled all that fingertouch and automatic orientation stuff), because i have to use my Ameo in a professional manner.

Hi
I had the same Bluetooth problem then i have to switch rom. I have switched to Irus TaxistV10 it works great and faster than Ap4. It is upto you which rom you choose, but i recommend the V10 rom. Reasons for that
Bluetooth stack is great
Wireless manager works on 96DPI
faster
Good luck

if your still lookin for the connection wizard, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356330 to this thread and in POST # 3, there is a list of addons. Your going to download "Shamanix HTC ConnectionSetup v1.0.31247.2.cab" after struggling to enter manual settings, this got internet, data, and MMS all working perfectly for tmobile automatically.
I'm also very lucky, as I just dont have a need to depend on a bluetooth with my advantage...if I cant talk on the speaker due to privacy at the moment, then I just send a text, not a big deal to me. I have yet to run into any problems with the Irus Ultra Vanilla rom, it just takes time to get everything working because almost everythings been removed from the rom to make it ultra vanilla, and thats what I wanted...emilination of the junk so I can pick and choose what I want.

That's a statement, not a question!
If you need some help, more information is going to be needed. I presume from your statement that you are unable to download any applications from the Market over WiFi?
If that's the case:
1. Does it work over the cellular network?
2. What precisely happens over WiFi?
Regards,
Dave
I noticed this same issue today as well. Over the cellular network or wifi, i can't download or update apps. When I check on the status of the app after trying to download it, it just says it's downloading with no end in sight. I can use the browser, check email, update weather, etc... but, the market is 'useless'. I'm running a stock hero.
it works over wifi but takes ages to start, sometimes it starts inmidiatly and sometime it takes a while. i'm not sure where the problem is. but maybe this will be fixed with the new market.
Try starting Google Talk to see if this causes the downloads to start - I've heard of numerous cases where this has "cured" the problem, presumably because some of the GTalk components are common to the Market. It may help, it may not, but it is worth a try.
Regards,
Dave
I know this isn't an option for some, but I just decided to flash the modaco 2.2 rom and market is working fine. I did notice my LEDs were not working today so that kind of pushed me to flash the rom again. I kept the original radio (updating the radio to the latest a couple weeks ago meant I couldn't use my data connection :S) and it's working fine.

I have the HTC Aria with CM 6.1.1 installed on it.
Since the time I installed CM 6, I haven't been able to connect to the school network. I could do so in Liberated Aria (FRxx) and the stock 2.1 ATT Rom but not in CM6.
The thing is, my school has a login page that allows a student to login using his id and password and whenever someone tries to navigate to a page (google for example), the server would redirect to this login page first. Only after a user logs in, he can proceed to surf the web.
It works perfectly fien on my laptop and used to work in the Sense ROMs but for some reason, it doesn't work in CM6. 3G data works perfectly though.
I tried searching the forum but couldn't find a similar question. Someone asked this question in the Cyanogen Mod forum too but it was left unanswered.

If I'm remembering correctly it could be our wifi driver may not be compatible with their router or something along g those lines. Somebody can correct me on that though. Also, at the public library where I live every once in a while I wont be able to use the wifi. It will say connected but no internet. But if I go back the next day it works fine (reset their routers maybe?)

Thank you for that!
Is there a workaround for this? I hate to use the 3G data connection (which is paid, thank you ATT ) instead of the free WiFi that I could use instead. Also, at the place where I work on campus, I get no 3G. All I get there is EDGE.
I had this problem happen to me and couldn't find a solution for it. The only solution I found was to go to Liberated (I use the HK kernel) instead of CM6.
i would try using CM7 instead of CM6.
the CM7 nightlies were slow. even CM6 is pretty slow unless the aria is overclocked and doing this ruins the battery life. But i still prefer to use cm6 (for now atleast). Is there a way this issue can be rectified in cm6?

I find this to be the complete opposite of what I have experienced. I just got my phone Feb. 23rd and have rooted it flashed 3 different rom's and a couple nightlys. Like stated before, just get on the irc chat and start asking, but I do guarantee if you go with this kind of attitude you won't get far Good luck and I hope your problems get resolved.
did you consider asking IT at your college or checking their website for information on wifi?

I'm guessing that you used your browser after enabling WiFi and disabling data and entered your username and password mentioned above? Does this page even show up for you after this update?
immediately after you connect to the wifi, go to browser and try to open up a new page, that login should show up. (this is based on other networks where i have done the same thing)

thanks. Tried it but did not work.
I realized that since I started using the CM6.1.1 ROM, my phone's IP address doesn't show up at my home wireless router's logs. All I can see is my MAC id.
Could that be the problem?
You might want to give this new CM7 based ROM a try. It's based on CM7 nightly 21 and it fixes the known issues with hidden SSID's and reconnecting to "remembered" networks. I'm running it now and it's excellent.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996331
Edit: I expect that the changes in this ROM will be merged into the regular CM7 nightly builds in the very near future.

I dunno why it's been deleted, but in any case, the problems that ROM was designed to fix have been addressed a long time ago and current versions of CM7 shouldn't have those issues.
I'm working with CM7 no problem with hidden wireless networks, but it do seems that the phone get less reception on the wireless network. even if I'm close to routers I get only 2-3 bars on the wireless icon. Don't know why is that.
Has anyone managed to get Skype working with ICS? After initial install it works once. Then after it just refuses to log in and says that I have network issues...even if I'm connected to wifi...

I've been using since day one of ICS release. Never had problems as you described.

I have had this problem, but it has nothing to do with ICS itself, it is the updated version of Skype and it has affected lots of users of different phones and different versions of Android. As suggested by mharckk, downgrade your version and untick the option in Goole Play to "Automatically Update". I did that, I am running an older version and have not upgraded since about a month ago and I no longer suffer any issues that are present in the current version, which included but are not limited to Skype signing me out every 30 minutes and then refusing to sign me back in, and when you try to sign in it tells you your username and password are wrong. You kill it and restart the app and it does not auto sign in. The list of issues goes on.
Google it and you will find the Skype forum in which this has been discussed and you will find links to an older version of Skype as an .APK, follow the steps, uninstall the version you have installed and remember to uncheck "Automatically Update" in Google Play, you will find it will work.
Hope that is some help to you.
Tried that, still complains about network problems. What version do you use

v2.7.0.907 is the version I am on, you can try using v2.6 and see if that helps with your network issues. I did occasionally have the "Wifi" connection issue on the latest version along with all the other errors, but not often, because it always signed me out.
Like I said, I have had zero issues with v2.7 try it and see, if your issues continue, then uninstall and find v2.6, see if that remedies your issues.
I hope it works.
Its working, sort of, tells me people are offline when they're online. Tells me messages are pending when I know they have been sent because i checked on my PC. I kinda need the official app because i rely on it for calls to my fiancee in the USA, else i'd be fine using IM+.

If you are using the version of Skype I suggested, it is then Official, just not the most recent version as the most recent version has major issues, there is a thread on the Skype forum about all these errors, yet Skype have not responded or even addressed the issues. And like you, I rely on Skype to talk to my fiancee in the US and the version I am on now, v2.7 is the most usable one I have found and the issues of the latest version do not exist.
I have seen what you described, I would suggest signing out and then back in if your Skype as been inactive for a long period of time, or just periodically sign out and back in, you will then see your contacts online, it occasionally happens to me.
