Hey guys,
Some people are claiming that Skype works properly on their I780... For me it doesn't... I can use it with a headset or the handsfree but the internal speaker (the one for normal phone calls) doesn't work. I've tried several Roms to check if there is one which makes Skype work but nothing worked...
So, I was just wondering if you could tell me about your experience with Skype. Is it working properly for you? If so, please let me know what you did to make it work.
Thanks guys!
no comments about skype on the I780? Does nobody wanna use it?

As far as I know, Skype, or any other software, can't use the speaker that you would normally use for phone calls on Windows Mobile devices. Only the internal phone- and VoIP-application of Windows Mobile is allowed to use the speaker of the phone. All other applications must use the speaker on the back.
So there is no way to get this to work, unless Microsoft adds access to this speaker through their API.
I use Skype sometimese and it's really driving me mad that I can't use it with built-in phone speaker or BT headset.
It also seems not using all available bandwidth so the quality is only acceptable.
skype works on my i780.
one day i was in samsung service centre to upgrade my rom, the samsung service personel noticed my i780 had skype installed. he asked how i managed to get it works. lol
i told him i dont know, i just download and install

So you are saying that your skype is working properly? You can use the earpiece of the phone to call people? Sorry man, but I think you are confusing something. I found out that some people thought their earpiece would be working but what they heard came from the handsfree speaker. If you turn down the volume of the handsfree speaker, it kind of sounds like the internal earpiece speaker... Can you check again please?
the phone would be just perfect with skype functionality but it cant use the normal earpiece...
Did anyone find a solution?
Maybe Skype Mobile 3 Beta is worth of checking out.
for my skye works (even trough normal built in speaker), but only wifi. Is it posible my provider (t-mobile nl) has disabled the port or something?
It looks like some of you don't pay atenttion to what is written here, and keeps asking the same question.
As Ralph said, there is no way to get around it. It's not just a Skype problem, It doesn't work with all the others third party applications.
The same thing happends with the front camera in all the Instant Messengers. It just doens't work.

I have the same problem but I found a trick!!
Launch Skype with no wifi.
Switch Wifi on (it is fine even if u are in an area with protected only or no access point at all).
You'll notice that your status will become available (green).
Switch Wifi off.
Don't ask me why.....but it seems to work!!

Do you mean that you can hear Skype call via earpiece?? Are u sure? It is not supported by skype it self!! In my opinion you are confusing the sound source. I'll be more than happy to be wrong.
Can u post your i780 ROM ans Skype version?

One of the most annoying bugs in this phone is that you can't make decent Skype calls, you can only hear intermittent and low-quality voice that doesn't let you understand a single word :S; same thing experienced on Fring...
It seems this is due to Skype incompatibility with Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset "dual core" architecture...someone said that's because Skype doesn't support Qualcomm instruction-set, BUT...what about all other devices with the same CPU??? Why does skype work with them ??? I'm wondering if this is a driver problem, and in this case ...would it possible to extract and use other working audio drivers???
Anyone interested ?? Guys, we own a HSDPA & Wi-fi enabled phone wich doesn't let us make VOIP calls...
+1 to see this solved!
mind to share plz? wot is +1??
please hlp us :'-(
I would like to see this done too.
Please help us if you can , i think this phone don't have good audio drivers , i noticed that and on others voip applications don't work well . I had installed at the past the sjphone and when tested the audio , the mobile phone it sticks .
I'm new here, and I would like to know if anything is happening with this?
I'm planning on buying this phone soon and would like to know if there will be any way to use voip, ever...

What I do is to turn the volume down of the loud speaker (use the rocker etc) and when you put the phone to your ear: face the screen outwards so the loud speaker is on the ear.
is in this version support call when is device connect via activesync?

Please google search for Audio Route.
Is there anybody who's able to make a call with skype mobile. Everytime I'm trying to call somebody, skype is freezing and I have to softreset my device.
I've tried it with v2.5 and now I thought, that maybe v3.0 has fixed this issue, both versions with no luck though.
How can it be, that fring is working flawlessly, even the internal speaker is working, and the skype devs. are implementing new features without fixing old issues
I'm running Dutty's v3.3 XT and had this bug also with the german stock ROM.

skype video
hi
do you know if / when skype will work with video as the hd has forward facing video camera for video calls.
would be nice to talk face to face with other skype users whilst away from the pc
Skype on internal speaker
i have a little Add on for skype that enables it to run on the internal speaker not the external, just like a normal phone call, im not on home pc at the mo so when i am, i will upload i onto here, all you do is run it first and leave it running while using Skype its that simple
Hang on i have it here
Here it is for your enjoyment !!!!!
Yea, Video calling would seriously be nice for Skype Mobile because not everyone lives in the very few 3G areas that exist.

First of all thanks, Are you running it on a HD? What Skype version are you using?
Anyway of it running automatically when Skype is turned on, maybe a toggle switch?
The reason for this thread is to help people get Skype working to its fullest extent and resolve some of the issues. The ultimate objective is to allow those with Skype subscriptions to get unlimited anytime calling across North America if they pay the $2.95 / month for the Skype plan and have unlimited data...
Download Skype 3.0 for Windows Phones here:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windowsmobile/
It installs fine and theoretically works great, however, there are a number of issues:
1. Skype automatically routes all audio to the speakerphone.
To route the audio to the earpieces, install audioRoute from Teksoft:
http://teksoftco.com/storage/download.php?product=audioroute_ppc
This product is discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495166
It essentially installs an icon in your taskbar that loads when the phone starts up. Once you open Skype, you click the icon, select the first icon, which is the earpiece, and then all audio will get routed to the earpiece when using Skype.
To route the audio to a Bluetooth headset, then install A2DP toggle from Teksoft:
http://teksoftco.com/storage/download.php?product=a2dptoggle
This program should theoretically allow you to select the Bluetooth headset when Skype is loaded. It should theoretically be able to be loaded concurrently with audioRoute. I have not tested it fully.
2. Skype will not work unless connected to a wifi connection
I had tested Skype and thought it worked flawlessly until someone with an iPhone mentioned that he had to install some sort of program to "trick" Skype into thinking it was connected to a Wifi. I believe that this is an issue with the way Microsoft has designed Windows Mobile, but is probably intential to prevent competition for telecommunication company voice packages. This issue supposedly does not exist with Windows Mobile clients.
Just ensure that ActivSync/Wifi/Mobile is enabled under the Connection settings.
3. Skype Mobile does not support video calling
I'm not sure if this is a software issue or just something that can be hacked. I see no reason why this functionality would be disabled in the Mobile version of Skype... any insight would be appreciated.
Would love it if anyone else is experiencing problem 2 as well... I want to find out if it's isolated to my handset... or even to just my carrier.

No problem here on a Vodafone TP2. Skype uses the 3G connection fine.
You know that htere's a setting that tells Skype what connection(s) to use? It defaults to "Use ActiveSync/Wifi" but can be changed to "Use ActiveSync/Wifi/Mobile"
It was working for me I think
see the message below

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but I have made calls through Skype on my TyTN II using the Australian Three 3G network. Called my wife on her mobile in Shanghai with no problems. Well, the connection was pretty horrible (I think it's a bit hard work for both the phone and the network) but it connected fine for as long as I wanted.
As tjobbins said, in the Connection Method settings, I can "Use ActiveSync/WiFi" or "Use ActiveSync/WiFi/Mobile"... so if I'm overseas, I leave it on the first one; in Australia on the second one.

I'm interested in how this works. I own the Titan at the moment and Skype only works over Wifi. Do you know if Skype plans on fixing the problem with calls only being heard from speaker phone? Any update on video calling?
off-topic question here, does anyone know if the titan operates on 3G? (i have sprint)

We can only hope. Skype have their forums and I saw a number of posts complaining about those missing features. I guess we should add our voices, though I would expect it will take a while for it to be fixed; the current version for Windows Mobile, Skype 3, was released fairly recently.
One alternative to look at is Fring. It supports better audio routing, i.e. calls are not only on speakerphone - they can come through the normal phone earpiece, or a bluetooth headset. Don't think it does video. As well as Skype, it also supports MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AIM and others, so it's a good all-in-one client.
However on the TP2 Fring does currently have one quite annoying issue - it doesn't seem to work on Wifi. It's fine on mobile/3G connections, but on Wifi it won't list access points or connect. This is reported on their forums but no sign of a fix yet. Actually I did once get it connect to WiFi, but I don't really know how and haven't been able to repeat it.
Oh I just remembered the other huge problem with Skype for Windows Mobile - it doesn't list your phone contacts!
Bloody useless when you want to make a Skype Out call, and you end up having to go into the contact record, copy their number, and then paste it into Skype. Really daft.
Fring does list your contacts, and you can use it for Skype Out as well as Fring's own paid-for outbound dialling system.
I have another problem: NO notifications! So i don't know if someone chats or phone me! It's useless in that way!

Thanks for the suggestion. I want to make sure that I'm using only data-only when making calls, since I have unlimited data... and limited daytime voice minutes.
I installed fring, and it doesn't show the TP2 as a supported device. When I launched it, it kept asking me to find a WLAN... except nothing shows up on the list! Wifi is enabled AND data is enabled, and it keeps showing Not Available...
Has it worked on your TP2?

Nope. See my post before the one you quoted! It doesn't work on WiFi on the TP2 at the moment - and also on some other WM devices I think.
Works great on 3G and ActiveSync, just doesn't work on WiFi.
Except.. once for me it did. It suddenly connected and I don't know how or why. Haven't managed to repeat it yet though. But maybe there's a workaround lying in there waiting to be (re) discovered

No no - I had wifi disabled and just tried to use regular data connection... but it couldn't find the connection for some reason.
Hate to bump an old thread... but I finally got Fring working on my TP2 (latest version), but SkypeOut calls don't actually direct to the Earpiece... I don't hear anything. Loudspeaker works fine.
hi everyone,
does anybody know a working voip sip program for htc hd mini?
i've tried without success:
adoresoftphone
SJphone
fring
and sip confg tool - which I manage to make an outgoing call of which I could hear the other side but they only heard digital noises - and the phone got frozen without the ability to make another regular call.
I also tried gizmo5 - which works great on my pc, but I cant config it to do the same on my phone.
that's it I think,
help?
Havent tried voip, but although there is no support anymore, doesnt Skype work? You can still download the WinMo version through the unofficial sites...

as I wrote before I used the operating system option for internet calling - which was only partialy successful, since I managed to make the call, but my voice was distorted.
PORTGO (PortSIP for CE)
Try this, it work for my HD MINI
i tried wm6voip + sipconfig, managed to get it work (at least to call a mobile phone in france from a low speed wifi hotspot in china) but the sound was not very good.
i need to try in better conditions to have an opinion, but it is not very convenient (have to disable HTC Sense to enable/disable internet calls via SIP)
thanks i will try portgo and let you know
i just downloaded the soft here:
w w w .portsip.com/wm-softphone.htm
after installation, it executes, but big slow down (lag) and some parameters makes the phone freeze, i had to reboot!
i have to test it anyway, but another issue is, seems you have to build a new contact list, it does not take the ones from Windows Mobile...
let's see
no incoming audio

I would like to buy this wonderful phone but first i need to ensure that skype works..Has anyone tried it yet?
I have searched all over the internet and i have found that due to cpu freq skype does not work smoothly, especially when the screen goes blank(proximity sensor) and the OS drops the cpu freq. But that answer was 6 months old So i hope for a bit advancement in skype development..
I would be grateful if anyone that has tested skype in that phone could give me a more accurate answer!
I can confirm it works without any doubt , plus you have possibility to add voip accounts without installing any extra app

@koki-tytnII
which version do you have runing on it? coz on mine it just make problems when I speak, and exactly when skype is running on background, that means when the display is turning off
thanks
you can find skype app at market.
So my own experience with Skype and that "****ty", but cheap, cellphone (Wildfire S, by the way, I used the official HTC ROM)... So that's just impossible to handle the calls with Skype. I tried Skype, Skype lite, Skype on 3 (a special version of Skype which allows just the chats, so NO CALLS)...
So I installed Viber. The calls are pretty good even if the sound is quite low... But compare to Skype (desktop software version) that's not the same quality/rapidity!
To sum up : Skype doesn't work well for the calls! Okay you can use it to chat with your friends but some better applications exist (like WhatsApp).
A buddy of mine used tasker to setup a profile to keep the screen ON when i'm on a skypecall, so skype has benefit of the max cpu produced.. I've got crystal clear skypecalls over 3G here
I use Skype_on_3 without any problems: audio cristal clear.
With normal skype instead, I have the famous choppy sound that make it useless (3G or wi-fi is the same).
I tried to use headphones to leave the screen on, but the problem is still there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
(Wildfire S, Stock ROM, S-OFF, last skype updated yesterday from the market.)
Skype works perfectly normal, and its very good to use with head set, and there is no lag. tho` there is no front camera for video calls ... and i think the 600mhz wouldnt handle video calls
skype doesn't work for me either (Wildfire S, Vodafone Ireland, Standard ROM, S-ON).
I think it works when the phone is flat and I use a headset, but that's pretty limited!
I tried downgrading to an older version (Skype 1.0.0.984 and Skype 1.0.0.983), no success either. Any suggestion?
I had the same problem, i uninstalled the new version and installed the old v1 and works just fine, no problems whatsoever

Where can you find an old version? The market only has the latest. I wanted to use skype over wifi and the sound is to bad it's useless. I thought it was a bandwidth issue but I tested and got about 10 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up so I know it's not that - glad to see that others are having this issue also not just me. But I'd be even happier if I could get a fix
I found skype 1.03 and it works without the new versions chopped-up sound - works just FINE!!! Found it here
Hi,
I agree about using an old version. I do it as well and speaking works very very good, and sometime better then my old notebook.
Just one thing that I really dont like, with such old version skype doesnt support sending sms, which means, when I need to speak I use the old one, for sending sms the new one.
Perhaps there is a stable version from skype which allows sending sms? Or is there a way to install two version of skype?
thanks
