Are you using the latest version? If so there's your problem... no voice support. You need to go back and download the previous beta version which supports voice calls on a Hermes. You need Beta version 2.2.0.20. PM if you can´t find it.

Boy, that's strange. I'm running 2.2.0.20 under Black Shadow with no problems (over wi-fi and 3G). I presume Skype don't realise that they have made this mistake with the latest build?

Simply meaningless!!

Skype is surely aware of the problem. Although they are still using pictures of skype running on TYTN on website, they have the following explanation in knowledge base. I think a guy from samsung did stg bad to someone from skype I can't think of a rational explanation for this situation. Supporting a processor in a beta release (which works smoothly) and realizing that it did actually not support that processor in the next release, Bull****.
From Sype:
"If you have a device with ARM 9 v4 Processor for example: 32bit Samsung: S3C2410, SC32442 and S3C2440, or IntelStrong ARM SA-1110, then calling is not supported by Skype for Windows Mobile in the 2.2 Gold Release. However, you will still be able to use chat to keep in touch with your contacts.
Below is a list of devices that only support chat. Note that this list is not complete as new devices are released all the time. All devices identical in construction to the ones below will support chat functionality:
• E-TEN Glofiish X500
• E-TEN InfoTouch M500
• E-TEN InfoTouch M600
• E-TEN M700
• Hewlett-Packard iPAQ rx5900 Series
• Hewlett-Packard rx4000 Series
• Hewlett-Packard iPAQ rx3700 Series
• HTC TyTN
• HTC P3600
• i-mate JASJAM
• Qtek 9600
• SPV M700
• MDA Vario II / v1605
• 8525 / M3100 / Trion
• Dopod D810
• Dopod 838
• Dopod P100
• Acer n311
• Mitac Mio P550 Digi-Walker"

Hold onto that working beta release!
The crazy thing is that it works pretty well - I've had "proper" conversations with someone from Spain (from the UK).

An explanation to why skype does not support V4
Quotation from skype forum from user Touche
"This is my 5 cents: If you look at the About dialog on the Skype for Windows Mobile 2.2, you'll notice that it says that it uses the HelloSoft voice engine. This engine does not seem to support the ARM v4 instruction set, since it crashes on all devices with that CPU. They probably use some of the v5 specific instructions in order to speed up the codec. The older versions of Skype for Windows mobile used the GIPS voice engine (also according the about dialog), which worked on almost all devices, but on the other hand was much slower than the HelloSoft engine.
Now, it seems that Skype for all other platforms has stopped using the GIPS voice engine and migrated to Skype's own one instead. That might be the reason why GIPS is no longer used in the Windows Mobile devices."

I have WM6 Black Majik on my 8525 (cingular) and I downloaded the version from the link in this thread and installed it however I am unable to make phone calls I was using 2.2.0.18 and I could make calls only on Wifi but not on 3G so I tried this one - with this one calling is grayed out completely Any ideas? Maybe I need to keep using .18 but need something to get it to work on 3G? I am able to browse the web with no probs.
PS - never mind, a reboot seems to have fixed the issue

WISBAR ADV V2.0 and BA

Running the O2 XDA IIS with the Imate 1.40 ROM installed WISBAR Advanced V2.0 I like it but when someone calls I get no notification no sound no picture CID etc. the backlight comes on but that is all I soft reset my device and it did work once but then went back to no notifications. I uninstalled WISBAR and all is back to normal.
Anyone else experience this issue or have any suggesitons?
Thank you
:?:
If you look at the Wisbar's site, you will find:
Supported Operating Systems
PocketPC 2002
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003SE
(Please note that this is not yet compatible with PocketPC Phone Devices)
so its not compatible with phone edition versions of WM2003SE.
I faces more problems than yours, until i found a new BETA version for WM2003SE phone editions.
It has many new amazing features, such as phone signal meter, battery meter, skin folders on storage card, ... etc
The BETA version is 2.0.1.29
You can get it from here: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1977
Cheeeeeeeeeeeers
ezzkht
Installed the beta so far so good but it has only been about 20 minutes
Thank you for pointing me toward the beta
No problem dude..
I am using this beta version for more than 1 month. Its going alright.. no any further problems till now 8)
Wisbar advance
Do any of you find that the wisbar sometimes stalls for a few seconds and eventually closes?
This is the only pain I had so far. It does happen quite often.
Cheers

Been running the beta for over 5 hrs now and have not noticed the type of behavior you are describing.
Yes, the .29 beta does shut down on it's own sometimes. It's still in it's beta stage so I can't complain. If i don't aggravate the app, it behaves properly. I can live with it for now. Another problem is that some application will remove itself from the top bar or just close for no reason. I'm hoping the creator will fix it on the final version.
BTW, I read that the version for 2005 will be another complete re-write due to the OS and how it uses the memory.
does anyone have a link that works for the beta version? the supplied link download is not working anymore..
The current version of Wisebar is 2.4.0.1 and their web site advises that it supports the following Operating Systems
PocketPC 2002
Windows Mobile 2003
Windows Mobile 2003SE
PocketPC Phone Devices
I am running this version of wisebar on an XDA IIs but have removed the O2 software which seems to make it more stable. No problems so far.

Avantgo on WM 6 / ozVGA Solution

OK I have Avantgo working again on Windows Mobile 6 using ozVGA - current base rom (used by everyone at the moment - thanks Alan!)
Below is the link to the old 5.7 version which works like a dream in ozVGA on WM6. Admittedly I havn't tried it on normal se resolution. You might end up with very large fonts. Let us know...
http://avantgo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin...p_tbl=9&p_id=451&p_created=1160685239&p_olh=0
By the way - SPB backup 1.5.5 (the latest version) also works correctly now in WM6.
Also DO NOT USE Pocket breeze as this does not work in WM 6 (Although it appears to until it eventually freezes up particularily once you load third party today plug-ins)
Regards,
Simon
on Helmis new ROM the Avantgo works fine without any tweaks
pbreeze works perfectly for me

Skype on original rom WM5 not supported ?

Hi all,
I tried skype mobile version on my trinity, i see my contacts and they are able to call me to. but wenn i try to answers the call the phone keeps ringing. I search this forum but see a lot of thing for wm6. I want to stay on WM5 untill WM6 rom works 100 %. I went to skype to see the P3600 is supported en it seem the processor's not ? How can i get this to work ? I don't need skype any other voip program is good. The only thing i need is when at home i'd like to change or add a profile so i could call my home when i'm not in my country. Maybe some answers are abouvious for some guy of you but sorry i'm kind of new with this stuff.
tnx
I tried skype as well, when we where using cooked roms for wm5 and it worked fine.
Another program that also worked fine is SJ phone, but I don;t know any good internet voip servers
I can install SKYPE 2.2 on my Dopod D810. Once I try to login, everything alright, but it get restart when accepting any incoming call.
Skype chat ok. Calls do not work
I finally installed skype on my SPV M700, but it cannot make/receive calls.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Raffavito
I read somewhere that skype 2.2 does not support calling functions... what you need is skype2.2 beta... I guess you would need to search for that....cos I can't remember where I found it... the problem I have is that I can't seem to run that cab file under mun's rom. it says application not found for cab... anybody can help on that? is there a zip application I need to install or something?
Skype 2.0 works on trinity WM5
Hi
I had the same problems with the last version of Skype.
I found on Emule the version Skype Mobile v2.0.0.51 and it works ok.
If you need it send me an e-mail to raveiga32 at gmail dot com and I will send you this version.
Good luck
Try this one:

It's 2.2.0.18 beta but everything seems to be working fine.
Download link for Skype for Pocket PC version 2.2.0.20.2 Beta is provided at the end of this post. I believe it should work fine for both WM5 and WM6 Trinity ROMs. I say this because it was clearly intended for WM5 but works fine with WM6. At this point I believe this is the most recent version they listed and offered specifically for the P3600.
Those are some curious issues being described! To be honest I had never been the biggest fan of Skype (some disappointing results in the past, plus the lack of outgoing Caller ID - which is finally being partly remedied). I have always prefered SIP for VoIP due to the potential for superior call quality, faxing and many other features that are possible. But the snag has always been that it is hard for SIP to get past blocked ports, firewalls and NAT, unless you have direct admin access to those things. The strength of Skype is that it will simply revert to using TCP web ports if needed so it will always work almost anywhere, even if it sounds awful at times!
All that said, I have found Skype it to be finally working really very well over WiFi on the LVSW 2.0.1.1. WM6 ROM for Trinity. But the version I am using is no longer provided for public download.
My Skype version 2.2.0.20.2 Beta.
When it was available as public download from Skype (really quite recently) it was clearly listed as the right version for the P3600. I notice that it has now been replaced with release version 2.2.0.36 and the nearest compatible phone shown is the P4350.
It seem old versions of Skype can be downloaded from their Developer Zone but it is necessary to sign a Non-disclosure agreement first to get at the old versions. Seems a little over the top if all that is desired is a previous Skype build. I don't want to know their secrets, just be able to get at an older version!
WiFi works great. 3G.... don't bother trying (in my opinion). Doesn't have the Skype to SMS feature but otherwise seems very functional and completely stable.
I hope this is helpful.
Here is a link for a download of the Skype for Pocket PC 2.2.0,20.2 Beta.
http://rapidshare.com/files/37978278/SkypeForPocketPC_2_2_0_20-2_Beta.CAB.html
Edit: BTW I find it works best with echo cancellation on and when used with the headset because otherwise sound comes out of the rear loudspeaker, not the phone speaker.
Would it be possible with the member who has the 2.2.0.51 beta to please put it on Rapidshare or elsewhere so people can get at it easily please? It would be great if we can figure out exactly which build seems best for the Trinity... might be different for WM5 and WM6 but I suspect the odds are it will be one of these two builds. All the best
Scratch that last bit. I misread the post. It was the 2.0.0.51 beta previously mentioned... older than mine not newer. Sorry for my mistake. My guess is that the 2.2.0.20.2 Beta I have linked above is probably going to be best. Good luck!
Sorry to bump the post. Did some research.... well more like just a lot of reading on the Skype website! The current official Skype Mobile Gold Release 2.2 (non-beta) has a list of phones which are now ONLY supported for text chat.
I am both surprised and dsisapointed to say that BOTH the Trinity and TyTN are specially listed as now being only capable of text chat.
The last Beta version of 2.2. (Skype for Pocket PC 2.2.0,20.2 Beta) as linked in thre post above, did specifially list the Trinity and TyTN as support for calling. The trinity works wll with that version over WiFi.
So download it, back it up and hang on to it real tight!
Any download problems, please post and I will be happy to upload it again elsewhere. While I do feel very sure this one should be best for WM5 and WM6do please post feedback if that is not the case so we will all the exact sitituation.
Many thanks.
Thank you for the useful info. Using the link you gave,I downloaded the older version of Skype 2.2 to use on my HTC TyTN but it has no exe file and I do not know how to proceed from here. Could you please help.
Just to test the water, I sent an e-mail to Skype asking for the older version but they refused, saying that I should try to get it from some third party !!!!
I am a new member to the forum and am not sure how to operate but I have saved the page as a favourite and hope I can get your reply. Thanks

The linked file... here it is again
http://rapidshare.com/files/37978278/SkypeForPocketPC_2_2_0_20-2_Beta.CAB.html
is not a desktop .exe file. It is a .cab file. Connect your device to your computer then use the Explorer Pocket PC option (may be called something abit different) in ActiveSync or Mobile Manager to move the file onto to your phone. The file has to be moved onto the phone then installed there. You use the File Manager program on the phone to locate it and then double click in it to install.
The phone will see the cab file as installable. To your desktop computer it will appear to be an uninstallable archive only.
In short it is on-device installable only. It is not installed directly from your desktop computer.
Hope this helps
Skype 2.2 on DOPOD 838Pro is CRASHING
After upgrading from Skype WM 2.1 to 2.2, I managed to sign-in but noticed my skype-out account was not recognized (no credits were shown) nor did I succeed to make the echo call. Skype just crashed! When I followed the link to activate my skype-out, I got a "page not found" message!. Since I knew I had credits available, I then tried to call using the dial and it crashed as well! This is serious as I had install an old version 2.0.0.39 because my previous version 2.1 was overwritten by the new executable that I downloaded!

Sounds very frustrating. Please would you share exactly which version works for you and which caused the big problems? Any numbers involved after 2.1 and 2.2 and is this beta or release versions? Clearly this is tricky stuff, so the more exact info we can share the more it may help people. Perhaps we should also try to track the exact ROM version of our phones which work and don't with Skype versions so we can kind of build a little knowledge base for ourselves.
Also, was this over WiFi or 3G? I am wondering if the Page not found could be a DNS issue occuring which may be complicating factor.
Good luck!

Hi.
I use www.voipcheap.com as my voip provider and to me it rocks,I call Spain and other countries in Europe for a really nice rate and I live in USA.
Take a look at some destinations,because it´s free.
You can also use www.voipstunt.com and www.voipbuster.com, but like I said voipcheap works great.
Bye guys.

doese skype works into the cavalier?

hi,
is it skype working into the pda??
Cavalier has Arm9 processor, and latest version of Skype needs Arm11 in order to make voice calls.
So, basicly if you install Skype, you will only be able to send sms - no voice calls (same problem with Hermes), but if you manage to find Skype 2.2beta, there could be a chance that it could work.
Cheers

My experience with the Skype beta on the cavalier
I tried the Skype 2.2 Beta on my cavalier (Dopod ROM). While it allows me to place phone calls, the interface of this version is all messed up on the Dopod making it close to impossible to use.

You can check for latest versions here I think:

They point you to the 2.2 download now...
Use fring instead
Just use fring. It is WAY faster than the Skype program and it interfaces with your Skype account.

Hermes 6.1 19212 Business Edition (Direct port from Kaiser)

With the help of Bepe's old Hermes kitchen and tools from Tadzio and others, I've put together this rather forgettable, yet stable ROM. It's simply a direct port of the TyTN II 19212 6.1 Build which was last build for that model. It does not have Touchflo, but it has all other components and updated icons that don't look like WM2003. It is basically a "flash-and-forget" ROM for those who want a nearly official 6.1 build, yet don't care for all of the "look-at-me" bling and bleeding edge on some of the other devices. It is set up for an AT&T Keyboard, and does not have the 3g dialer. I have a version with the 3G dialer that is also set up for the HTC keyboard, but it's not ready for prime time, and no, I don't have a timeline for its release. I will not include any programs that are not OEM in the RC build or the final build so don't ask. You may dump the ROM and use any part of it at your discretion. Just give props where they're due.
Note: I put this together just like the factory ROM so all of the programs are in the OEMAPPS folder when you dump it. I'm working on making all of the packages come out in the SYS and OEM directories, but I haven't played with the new visual kitchen by Ervius just yet.
Programs:
-HTC Home with working backlight adjuster (NOT a fix; this uses an HTCUtil.dll from another device that works)
-Voice Command (from AT&T Tilt official ROM; I like it, therefore its there)
-Sprite Backup HTC Licensed Edition (also from Tilt official ROM)
-Adobe Acrobat
-Audio Manager
-Esmertec Java
-Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.19
-Internet Sharing
-Voice Recorder
-IA Zip
-Enlarge Start Menu (from Jade)
-Large Title Bar (also from Jade)
-HTC Connection Setup
Enhancements:
-New, official WM6 or 6.1 icons for Control Panel items
-Lockstream DRM functional
-Windows Live and OneNote removed
-Connection Setup runs automatically after first reboot
-Mail setup runs automatically after first reboot
Possible issue:
-Someone please check SMS capability and functionality (I currently have it disabled on my account)
There may be other issues with this ROM, so please report them here only. I will fastidiously prune the thread of non-constructive comments and requests such as "Please include (name third-party program) or "How do I flash a ROM?" and "Please make me a splash screen."
Download link: Megaupload
________________________________________
Update 8/20/09
Log:
- Build number on splash screen updated to 3.29
- ROM date changed to reflect build date on original Kaiser ROM
- A little better memory usage but not much
- Icon's updated just a little
Really there's no reason to update unless you like your numbers to match. I'm anal like that, so I updated. It's still snappy, stable and looks OEM. Perfect for those of us not on the bleeding edge who also use our devices heavily.
Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YK1VJ21E
_______________________________________
Update: 10/20/09
Log:
- New Large Title Bar Function (uses pop out at top of screen)
- Vibrate button function restored
- In-call volume now adjustable by scrolling wheel
- HTC Splash Screen added
- Now packaged with 1.54 GSM radio
This is an interim upgrade. I will be releasing a package with the HTC keypad tomorrow. I'm not working on a 3G dialer version right now, as the components are a little different and I can't test it because AT&T doesn't allow for it.

Update: 10/27/09
FINAL UPDATE
Why? My new Fuze comes tomorrow because my keyboard is on the blink. Alright here is the change log.
- Animation works
- Bluetooth file transfer works
- Task Manger 1.51 replaces more recent version due to not closing programs correctly
- Somewhat improved memory usage

Here are screenshots of the today screen, ROM components and device info.
I completely love 19212 or 214 builds! You can flash them, and dont have to reset the phone for days literally! Thanks for the release.

Same as stock ROM. No bigstorage. RAM settles in around 25 MB free on startup and ROM is around 39MB.

Best ROM till now!
Wonderful ROM mate!! I have tried almost each & every Hermes ROM available on the internet till now. But, I'm now settled on your make. It's very stable.
Though, I don't give a damn to the RAM usage.
Keep your good work going. I think you should try building a ANDROID based ROM for Hermes. It'll rock.
this is EXACTLY what i have been looking for
thank you so much!
rom wm6
does it fix the video calling on hermes?
So far, so good. MMS working finally!
Check first post for "update". It feels a little wierd saying that for a 19212 build.
Hello
Hello, I installed this ROM to my hermes, it all works great but my bars with Calendar, Contacts and Start didn't change color... Thoes are still green and the rest of rom is gray and good looking.
Did I do something wrong, or should I just flash again?
Reflash.......

Keyboard bug
Hi,
First of all, thanks for this perfect rom, I was looking for this simple Kaiser Stock ROM since months and months.. Thanks again.
However I've noticed that the keyboard mapping of this rom is for Kaiser. You've the issue with the caracters @, !, ;, etc...
is it possible to fix it with a reg update, or with a new rom?
also, is it possible to add 3G video call?
thanks again for your answer and specially for this rom
Is a radio included with this ROM? The file looks to be much smaller than what I have flashed for the stock AT&T or TyTN (Official HTC release).
Thanks in advance!
