Getting Skype to work on my XDA IIi - General Accessories

Hi Guys
Have downloaded Skype onto my new XDA IIi & while it goes through the motions of dialing & connecting, I can hear the person I'm calling but they can't hear me. Any ideas? I did a search for this topic but couldn't find a specific thread. Thanks !

For me it worked pretty straight away. Have you tried using the handsfree-kit with it?
I am trying to locate a solution by which one could talk on skype using a BT headset, now THAT would be useful.

Skyped!

Go here and enter in the model you have. It should tell you whether or not you can stream music through your phone, to your bluetooth.
(<---- feels like an ass) thank you for stepping my bluetooth game up!!
first time i ever get one..... ofcourse i do no research and assume bluetooth works for everything.
really appreciate you guys answering back so quickly.

[Q] Transfer phone book to car

Hi all,
so my wife and I just got a new 2012 Nissan Maxima and it's the first car with bluetooth that we have ever had. Last night we were messing around with the bluetooth and both our phones were able to make calls and voice dialing worked perfectly. However, we weren't able to access our phonebooks, or get names of callers on incoming calls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if there is anyone here who has the same car. 2012 Nissan Maxima, with NO NAV, just the backup camera monitor package.
Thanks in advance all!
i would recommend either reading your manual or asking this question in a nissan forum oppose to asking a phone forum as your issue will be car related.... just a thought

My only thought when asking here was to figure out why the PHONE wouldn't transfer its data to the car.

Call quality fix?

I am currently having an issue with my phone calls. Anyone who I call cannot hear anything I say. I'm told that I sound extremely distorted and muffled. However, I am able to use Google search voice commands just fine. So it isn't the microphone itself. I am using Psychos Cm9 9.1, but I have the same problem when I restored my backup of MIUI 2.4, so I'm guessing it's not the ROMs either. I read something about changing my settings to something called EVRC-B, but l the methods I have tried to get to the menu to change the settings haven't worked.
Any input would be appreciated.

Have you actually listened to a recording of yourself that was recorded through your phones mic?

or he or she is holding the phone against their chin, or there's lint stuck in the Mic hole, or their friends are jerks. Lots of possibilities...
Unless my doctor are mother are in on the joke... Haha.
I used a voice recorder app, and I sound fine. It is only through calls.
I admit I'm kind of a noob since I mainly mess with ROMs, so I could easily be wrong here, but could it perhaps be the radio...?

That is exactly where I would be looking now. I personally find the 1111 radio to be the best. Results vary though. Worth trying a couple at least to see what works for you.

Link please? I've never messed with radios before, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right one 'cause I'm seeing a lot from a Google search.

Here you go.
make sure to read the instructions. You don't flash it like a rom. Don't forget to remove it from the sd after you're done or you'll regret it (briefly).
So the link on that page for 1111 didn't work. The 4shared page wasn't available.I couldn't find it on Google since all the links were for a multiupload page that directed me to some other site. I downloaded 1.09.01.0312 instead, read the instructions, and got confused. What is the Android SDK folder? I went into hboot and updated that way. I called my girlfriend, who had the biggest problem with my phone call quality, and she said it was extremely better. So hey, it worked! Problem solved!
Thanks for your help, I appreciated it.
You cant change EVRC in an AOSP ROM - but you can switch back to a stock ROM (Sense 2.1) and any changes you make will stick.
Even if you ask your phone to use the EVRC-B codec, there is no guarantee that the tower will process the request, as that codec uses more bandwidth. Dropped calls and such can (and probably will) occur because of the fight for bandwidth.
On the stock Verizon ROM dial ##778# - enter six zeros and you will find the menu to make changes. Be sure to commit modifications.

[Q] Google search stopped speaking to me!?

Google search is no longer speaking results back to me! It was fine yesterday?
I did have 'speak to it assistant' installed. But i uninstalled it... yesterday.
I have re-installed 'assistant', but still get no voice from google search.. i do get voice from 'assistant'
I've looked in settings & it says 'speech output - always speak'
Anyone had a similar problem before
Do you have selected a voice in settings - text-to-speach?

I do yes.
Although when i go into the settings on 'assistant' it says i have no language on the phone?!
And when i pick to install it.. no English?!
thanks for the quick reply
*EDIT*
Seems to be affecting other people..
Google now giving me silent treatment.!
Hello,
perhaps it'll be some similar problem like that, I've posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096446
My workaround to install two voices of different developers solved my problem with my dumb OneX.
Now it speaks to me fortunately.
Good luck

Thanks for the info :good:
I'll try that.. at some point, see if it fixes the problem for me.
Although i've also just noticed (yesterday evening) that the little mic icon has disappeared from my keyboard!
Apparently they both need an internet connection to work.. although i DO have a good connection (wi-fi & 3G)
The mic icon DID re-appear this morning as i began to type out an email, but disappeared as i was typing?!?
It's normally over the fullstop..
*edit*
Ha Ha! :laugh: typical..
Just tried google search, and it's working again.. she just told me that tomorrow morning will be cold
Also the mic icon is back on the keyboard :victory: .. for how long i don't know though
It was a google problem

Ive recently bought a a bt keyboard, a cheap unit that works fine with my other android but keeps disconnecting from my note, pretty much every third second or so.
I know this has been asked and answered other places, that for some odd reason i cant find anymore, but l would very much appreciate someone giving a poor sod a helping hand.
Ive tried to turn off the on screen keyboard, and that didnt help much...
Any other tricks i can try out before i return the bt keyboard??
The note in question is a sm-p600

Thanks in advance.

Try installing Bluetooth Easy Connect app from the Play Store. Its the only solution that worked for me. Follow the instructions in the app description.

Yup thats the only thing that worked for me too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mybesttools.btkbservice.
Problem is that it needs root, and I'm not that keen on killing my warranty just yet... I know some people have had some luck with either sending it in or exchanging it, but that's a lot of hassle, no guarantee that you get a safe unit, and to be honest something else might be busted ( yellow screen, SD card issue etc) ( Really samsung, Really? Quality test dpt is having quality issues )
I bought a Samsung Bluetooth slate keyboard and it works 100%. I am Also on stock 4.4.2. Before, i was on rooted Roms. Had disconnects with every Bluetooth keyboard I tried(tried like 4-5)
