Has anyone found a Skype that works with windows 6.1 and DCD'd newest rom and radio releases?
I have tried 2.2.0.18... No luck It worked great on WM6 but once i put DCD's 3.2.5 on my phone it will not run.
So I tried the newest on on the Skype site 2.2.0.45 and it runs but no luck with sound.
This isnt critical as I use it only once in a while on my phone but it is a nice feature to be able to use.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
i found this same thing yesterday, i reflashed since i had to include voip in the kitchen. was able to get it running and make a call, but no dice on the sound.
im using skype 2.2.0.20 on DVD 3.2.0/radio 3.42.02 and it works, although i can only make calls with my BT headset

Is DCD 3.2.0 WM 6.1? If so, you're the first person I've heard of that's gotten it to work!
I tried my BT today and couldnt get it to work for me with the newest Skype release from Skype. I also tried it with FRING I can hear people but just cant talk to anyone.
Very frustrating. Its like Skype dolesnt recoginze the mic on the 6800

yeah, thats been the problem from the beginning, thats why i have the build of skype, its the only one i know of that works for calls (albeit only via BT)
http://xbehome.com/xda/SkypeMobilePPC_2.2.0.20.cab
There is a low CPU version of Skype that I had working on dcd 3.2.0 and earlier. The sound came through the speakerphone on the back of the phone. Since updating to newer dcd ROMS it doesn't work anymore. Look for a thread titled "voip on wifi" or something like that for the cab. But it only works on older dcd ROMS.
I just installed SkypeMobilePPC_2.2.0.20.cab on my Sprint PPC-6800 with 15 MB free, and running the PPCGeeks 20270 kitchen and the 3.42.40 radio.
After the install and a soft reset, when I try to start Skype, I get a Skype can not start popup.
Try finding a beta version. I use version 2.2.0.20. I would upload the version I'm using but it doesn't seem to work. The version I have also only goes through the speakerphone, but I usually pop on a headset bluetooth or through the bottom port and it works fine.
I just downloaded 2.2.0.45 (actually mislabeled as 2.2.0.38) from this Skype forum post http://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t177281.html. It starts and I can hear the ring when I make the test call, but I couldn't hear anything from the other end. I could hear the hangup sound when I hung up though.

Quoted from the skype forum link on your post....

This hsa been a problem with Skype for something like 9 months. It has something to do with the Mogul's chipset and a copyright issue. It used to work with old versions of Skype, but, as you observed, no longer, as you can no longer talk or hear.
Don't bother to ask Skype. They never answer this question forthrightly! Your best bet is to forget the issue and move on.
You are right, the "new" audio engine has something with the Mogul's chipset, the older GIPS audio engine worked but Skype can no longer distribute that audio engine. I have forwarded this issue, but I don't know if/when is going to get fixed. Logically the audio engine developer is also involved not just skype. //Quote

I use the wm6 VOIP function to communicate via W-LAN.
Does anybody know whether it is possible to use it without headset? When calling somebody the sound just came through the loudspeaker on the backside (same as wm5 with sjphone or skype).... i hoped that it will work when VOIP functionality comes native with wm6.
All in all the VOIP quality is very good. The callee do not recognize whether i call him via PC or Prophet (instead of SJPHONE...there i had interruptions + delay)

hi mole0815,
which ROM are you using?
Linus
I use
ROM: 4.0.0.0.1 PDAViet
Radio: 02.69.21
Use ROM 4.0.0.0.2. Works fine, no headset needed.

Do you mean the sound comes from the front speaker?
I have the same issue on 4.0.0.3. Is there any known fix for this?
Also, is there any known way to keep the phone registered with the SIP server when it goes into standby mode. I would like to be able to receive calls via VoIP without having to leave the phone on all the time, wasting a huge amount of battery life. I'm connecting to the server via WiFi by the way, so that would have to stay active aswell (which it does not seem to).
same here.
I upgraded to 4.0.0.3 and no sound from the frontspeaker.... Are u sure that the sound did not come from the backside?!?!
Don't think that they will remove this feature from 4.0.0.2 to 4.0.0.3.
Any other experiences?
I have it working with 4.0.0.0.2, not upgraded to 4.0.0.0.3 yet.
Can anyone confirm that 4.0.0.0.3 OK?
I don't find the quality acceptible in all handheld VOIP conversations.
If i use the wm6 VOIP functionallity (config via sipconfig.exe in \windows) the quality will be acceptable. But the main issue is: There is a need for a headset (either bluetooth or cable).... and it seems that there is no workaround
For all people who are searching for a front speaker workaround:
There's no one!
HTC doesn't grant the access to it for the 3rd party software developers.
So you still have to use a headset or be happy with the back speaker outcoming sound

Yes, it works also with 4.0.0.3
Bugger, oh well, looks like its headset's for us then lol. Is the speaker on the front hard-wired into the phone components or something?
I need to go back to 4.0.0.0.2 to familiar its works and not-works so I can appreciate whether 4.0.0.0.3 has any improvement or just the same with different color keyboard.
I'm using the PDAVIET 4.0.0.6 ROM, and I also suffer from the problem that when using VoIP the conversation is only one-way when using a BT headset (no sound at all when using no headset). Any solution for this available yet?

Well, yes and no. I can make calls just fine (haven't tested receiving (yet)). However, even though the other side can hear me just fine, my end remains totally silent.

Thats not because of the voip software in the phone, but because of your nat setting in your router.
One way voice in voip is a common problem, and is normaly related to nat settings in the router.

It's not so simple. I've tested all the PDAVIET-Roms from 40000 to 40006 with the same VoIP setting on the same router. The versions 40000-40003 work, other have the mentioned one-side-sound problem. So the cause can't be the router only.
Sorry Redandr, but NAT is the most common problem causing on way voice.
I have worked with VoIP for almost 7 years, and I se this problem every week.
Saying this doesn't mean that it can't be somthing else. Just that its the most common problem.

NAT being the problem is a slim chance in my case. My office's wireless network is used for other wifi handsets without any problems. Even more so, there's no NAT involved at all (our asterisk pbx is on a different subnet than our wifi, but there's standard routing between them), only firewalling. I think I disabled all firewall rules at the time of the testing for my device, but I'll double check sometime next week.
Guys,
Once again I am turning to you with a problem which is driving me nuts… After several attempts (ROMs and registry settings), I simply cannot get it working. I am using Jabra BT8010 handset and I get complaints from some, but not all, people I talk to over the phone that my voice is skipping. Some fragment of the words (a letter or two) is simply missing - not heard – by my talking partner. This has also happend to me when using official or irus ROM!!
First let me say that after I installed Michy’s R4.1 ROM the things with BT has changed a bit – in positive direction. I noticed that because the Jabra connects to the phone faster then before, when phone is rebooting the BT connection sign is gone immediately, etc. This was not the case with the original ROM nor iruses ROM 0mb PP. At this point I’d would like to thank Michy for that, since the file transfer to and from Athena now works almost flawlessly as well.
Please note that I get no skipping sound in downlink direction: nor during phone call nor during streaming of music or videos - the sound quality is just great!
But the voice skipping is just frustrating. What to do? I have tried twitching several settings in registry: BitPool, MaxBitPool, Sample rate and Use Joint Stereo. But, no combination resulted in no-skipping sound. Is it Jabra? Could you suggest what to do next in order to get this working!!!
PLEASE HELP!

I don't use bluetooth headset myself, but would suggest that you try out the latest R5.1. I find R5.1 to be much better than R4.1 in the data connection, GPS, and WIFI communication, and have no problem in bluetooth file transfer. However, I recommend that you use the latest radio version 1.58.
I find my VOIP experiencing voice quality improvement as compared to R4.1 with radio 1.57.
After trying it, I'd be eager to hear if that helps.
Cheers.
eaglesteve,
Meanwhile I got my hands on Motorola HS810. Guess what: no voice skipping or distortion what so ever!! So is there something wrong with my Jabra or simply the BT or its settings are not matching to Jabra? Someone suggested to delete the Bitpool and MaxBitPool from the registry to get protocol handshake, i.e. the device negotiate for optional parameters…?
I will try R5.1 and report back.
One question though in regards to BT and file transfer since you mentioned it: the feature to make my device visible to other keeps disabling automatically. Once I set it (check) and file transfer (via moBLUe) works, but sometimes - I swear I didn't touch the settings - the file transfer (via moBLUe) does not work. When I check the feature the feature is disabled!?!?! WTF...? I am doing something wrong or...
BR

I had the same problem with my 8010 until I went to radio 1.57 (and then 1.58, although 58 isnt as good as 57 for sound quality and the 8010). Im not using Michy but that shouldnt matter.

Eaglesteve, what solution do you have for VOiP?
weird. i am on michy 4.1 spl 1.2 and radio 1.57, and i think i have the same problem, but only with skype voice calls.
i am using plantronics pulsar 260.
it is so bad that the word "hello" breaks into 3 or 4 fragments.

Using Jabra BT8040 with Athena and another cell phone,
poor performance, ocassional voice breaking and soft.
Just upgrade its firmware and monitoring.
With another simple bluetooth by Motorola H375,
no such issue, voice was clear and loud both ways.
I have tried several settings with radio 1.58 as well as 1.57 and in all cases the voice is distorted with Jabra BT8010 ;(
On the other side, using the Motorola HS810 I expirienced no problems at all at any setting i gave. Eventhough I like Jabra VERY much due to its features I will replace it...
I'm on ROM AP4, you might try that, too.

I have same expertise as you (jabra with some troubles). But if I connect this headset to a blackberry no problems and it is perfect
I have 7500/4.1(3.5) and a BT8010. I have solid connection with my blue tooth.
From your descriptions, it sounds like you have a defective 8010.

This is my second Jabra 8010. I have experienced the same problem with both!
Yesterday, I have flashed Athena to Michy's R5.1. No change.. the voice skipping is still present ;(
I decided and will replace Jabra. I have two candidates: Nokia BH-902 or Motorola SH-7x0. As said Motorola before Motorola SH810 gives very good – no distortion – voice! Will see how the Nokia behaves. Any pros and cons for each???
Thanks guys for your help.

Yes, same effect here, I'm using the Jabra 8010 also and have sometimes the same problem. From my point of view it is a jabra problem, not a ameo / athena nor a ROM problem.
After updating on radio 1.58 I have some problems with the connection to my Pioneer carraudio Sytem (used as a handsfree set) also. So I've decided to go back to 1.50, after that I will update on michyprima and check it....
Kind regards

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I have learned a great deal from you guys & gals! Hail to all!
I have the same problem with my U1000 & bt8010 under Radio 1.57 & 1.5.
For me, the problem seems less noticeable if I:
1. stand / sit STILL (sigh...)
2. have more ram to the system (no big TODAY plug-ins like spbDiary)
In theory the 8010 is perfect for big dogs like the athena. (gosh i love the phonebook and the music ... even mono makes me happy ...)
Just a simple suggestion but based on what I've read on this last page with you guys changing the radio's and ROM's has anyone decided to update the Jabra BT 8010 Firmware. I've never experienced the problems you guys have it might be a last hope but why not go for it. Firmware found here:
http://uswww03.gnnetcom.com/Myjabra...=/myjabra/bt8010_control_center_na.html#step1
The software is at the bottom of the page, however you will also need to install the program to you computer to actually install the firmware. Follow the directions provied on the link, and feedbacks please.

tootallk2000,
I have been using the FW 1-40-0 for more then a year now and compared to older FWs it does not make a difference

In my post #12 I claimed I had "solid connection with my blue tooth". I spoke too soon. The first time I played music on Pocket Music I got lots of skipping.
This was also a problem discussed at length last year. I did a reg search on "priority256" and found that the decimal number was 131.
I changed it to 256 and NOW I have "solid connection with my blue tooth". I have not had a single skip in 15 minutes of playing music.
OOPS - I just got a 1/2 second skip.
on my post at #6, i also spoke too soon. when i tested skype at our office (faster dsl connection), the voice is smooth, no skipping. i guess it was just an internet connection problem.
I've looked through several of the 6.5 rom threads and flashed a few, but haven't found one where the BT headphone controls work. I know MS made changes in 6.5 (thanks B4PJ), but was wondering if any of the 6.5 chefs had overcome the problem. thanks for any tips!
are you talking about audio controls? like next/previous/play+pause?
If so, ive got mine working with the newest energy rom and mortplayer
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Mortscript, huh? Could you point me to a thread to learn more about how that works?
I'm using a Jabra 3030 stereo bt headset and it works great with arrup's ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521007 . his even comes with a real nice interface s2p found in the multimedia folder that has built in support for bt. I'd try his out. Also Nrg's ROM seemed pretty nice I just think arrup's is a little more stable, but Nrg's is probably a little faster. hard to tell though. Nrg's is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517296 . Both are really great chefs. and BT worked with both for me. definetly try arrup's first though if you're having BT trouble, like I said the S2P app. has support built in. it's basically a really nice skin for WMP, but seems to work a lot smoother, and actually allows what you were listening to when you turned it off to come back up.

Appreciate the assist - BT is working, I can hear music and make phone calls, etc. I just can pause/FF/RW music, or answer or hang up calls because the BT controls don't work... I think I'm headed back to 6.1.

Mortplayer. not mortscript. its a completely different audio program. i havent tested avcrp controls on any other program...
AVRCP doesn't work in the newest Manilla3D but it works in Coreplayer. It's not WM6.5
The problem lies with HTC's AudioMAnager not having been updated to the new WM6.5 API's. All WM6.5 ROMS with WMPlayer work fine with the AVRCP, and most other media players work off the WMPlayer API's. AudioManager by HTC is totally standalone and hence it does not work.
BT Controls work with ShEp's ROM as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497699

That's what I mean. the controls all work on Arrup's ROM for me. pause/ff/rw/answer call. all work on arrup's 6.5, and most others from what I've seen and heard..
I added hyper droid to my phone and it starts up fine and everything works good, I started clrcad and then ran haret like it says, starts up fine and is stable but when i tried to do a test call to my girlfriend, she can hear me fine but when i hear her it makes like a gargling sound and i cant hear what shes saying at all. what do?
My problem is slighty different to yours
I hope there is a solution to this,
Since I installed HSPL2 and flashed ChuckyROM 3.14, have been experiencing problem using wired or Bluetooth headset to make or receive calls. The incoming voice is ok but no outgoing.
To clarify, I’ve tried a few other radios and none made a difference.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Is anyone successfully using Fring on a Vibrant? I have a rev 2 ffc installed, Bi-Winning V2 and Fring used to work pretty well. I can't say exactly when, but sometime in the last month or so it started having problems with mic volume. I make a test call, and I can hear myself, but just barely. People I call complain about being barely able to hear me. The camera works fine.
I see that some people are saying that Fring is working with CM7. I was wondering if there are any other roms that Fring might be working well with? Or if anyone has any idea how to adjust the mic input? Thanks!
Funny you should ask that I was starting to think I was going crazy. My mic volume was fine before but I flash new roms a lot and don't really check if the mic volume is working properly. But for some reason I am having the same issues... camera works fine but mic volume is really low. I don't remember which rom I had that had the mic sound working properly and can't seem to find one that does.
Strangely enough, using the voice recorder records my voice at the expected volume. I started to think my phone got busted somehow. I tried increasing mic sensitivity on the voodoo sound app but that doesn't work either.
Maybe it's a fring issue. I'll try another video chat app and report back if I find something else.
Currently I am running Bi-Winning v3.
Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether I should update to Bi-Winning v 3.0 to solve the problem.
I beleive this is a Fring thing. I've gone so far as to pull and older version of Fring out of an old Titanium backup and installed that apk. (v 2.4.4.2). The older version seems to work better, although the mic volume is still not great. I think that I would have viewed it as OK in the past, though.
If you'd like to try the older apk, let me know and I'll post it somewhere.
