(1) Is XDA Orbit unlocked ? (2) Anyone tried Skype ?

Just a few questions to those that have already bought
1. Is it SIM unlocked ?My XDA Exec was, so I assume O2 is carrying on the tradition ?
2. How is skype performance over wifi ?
many thx
c.

dunno about the sim lock
to use skype you need to boost the CPU to 264Mhz otherwise it can handle voice on skype properly
its easliy done and when done works perfect

I use Skype with it, works very slow, voice does work kind of delayed.... but still.... intrested to know how you over clock it though?

Do a search for 'omapclock', its freeware. I've got my Orbit overclocked to 264mhz and its much zippier through the menus. I've got skype installed as well but haven't got around to trying it via wifi yet.

Hi
I used omapclock - does it but does not keep it all the time??
any suggestions.

Tried the current Skype Version today without overclocking the device.
SkypeOut works great for me AFTER disabling 3 codecs in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Skype/Phone/Audio/DisableCodecs
Put into the field: ILBC G729 EG711U
That disables 3 codecs.
Calls to the Skype-Echo/Sound-Test won't work - but SkypeOut worked fine for me via WiFi - but only through the hands-free speaker of the phone.
Any idea how to use the normal speaker?

I've posted a question in an Eten forum re using the normal speaker. The X500 has an app that switches Skype from the handsfree to the normal speaker.
Still on Skype, a version 2.2 (beta) has been released yesterday that has been optimised to work on 200MHz processors. Is this the one you have tried, and in this case how is the quality in general?

No, I tried the "old" one from December 11.
The German Skype website doesn't provide the new version yet - I had to switch to the English site.
I'll test the new 2.2 Version this evening.
Anyone tested this app (what's it called?) from the x500 to use the normal speaker?

Re. the X500 I'm hoping to receive a reply as to what registry settings need to be changed, and I've also asked if the CAB with the app can be extracted. I'll post the reply when I receive one.
EDIT: StiflersMom - When testing Skype 2.2 could you please try without/with overclocking (if indeed you overclock) and tell us about the separate results?

sooooo, have you unlocked your artemis? i have a MDAc 3, and it is still unlocked, can somebody help me? Please!

I read somewhere that Omapclock settings are lost after switching the phone off. Try BatteryStatus instead (freeware). Despite the name it has several other options, including cpuspeed settings.

Just plonked my Orange sim into an O2 XDA Orbit and works fine so looks like they are sim free.

I have used skype lite version over GPRS. it worked, and i was able to talk to other ppl, but the gprs speed is very slow so my voice was crackling a lot, while other person's voice did come in a bit clear.
will try with wifi sometime soon!

Just used Skype 2.2 over Wifi to my land line and it was as good as any phone no issue so far any way. Pretty sure i wasnt overclocked at the time. I was happy enough to load up £10 quids qorth of credit ( though seems scammy to buy 10 quid credit and have to pay 11.50 :/ inc tax.
Does anyone know a tester to test stabillity of the overclock ? its really dangerious for me i cant help but keep trying a higher oc had at 280 for 5 seconds before i chickened out lol only had less then a day
I have the 3.1 ROM with cube thingy and it has a, um for lack of better word menu bar, i press and hold for a moment to access the options. There you can set the OC to stay on always.
I dont know how far too push it ( i overclock everyhting any way i used to over clock my crt monitor lol ) but without stabillity test i am abit worried i'll screw the rom or somthing.
FYI on the overcloking the hotter it gets usually decreases the mount you can overclock stabally, this prog also shows temp, my one seemed perfectly stable at 247 @ 40c quite warm i had wifi going full and was streaming radio, also shows power pulled its pretty damn neat... i am luvin my orbit i have had it almost 24 hours now lol nd thanks too all the good work done by people have it pretty tweaked and close to near how i want it very quickly a hours instead of days n maybe weeks so thsnks
Ed oh i baught mine off ebay it was a month old when i got it and it was sim unlocked but not CID unlocked. payed £200 seems good to me concidering the tomtom i baught as a prezzy forsomeone came in over £100.

WM6Voip.cab

Hi everyone!
I've installed WM6 official o2, happy with it so far.
I've installed WM6Voip.cab and have set up sipgate.co.uk with it and it does seem to be working, even though it always says "Sipgate: searching".
My only problem is that the German lady on 10000 is waaaay to quiet even though the volume is up full I can't hear her any louder than a whisper...
Any thoughts?
I've tried with the speaker and the headset, same result....

Sorry I'm not able to help but where can I find the VOIP cab please?
Thanks
N

I haven't been able to overcome the volume issue myself! What I have done though is to use SJPhone (voip softphone) which runs nicely on Windows mobile. This in fact does not require the voip package to be installed even.
Link to site is: http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html
I hope it goes well if you try it out.
Cheers.

Here it is.

View attachment WM6VoIP.CAB

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try
Edit>
Installed WM6VoIP.cab and SetupVoIP_v0.3.cab and entered the details of my Asterisk Server but I can't see any evidence of my phone doing anything. - O2 XDA Orbit with official O2 WM6 - No O2 stuff.
WiFi is working fine and I can surf but the phone doesn't attempt to register.
Any ideas please?
Edit 2>
Soft reset, switch on WiFi and I can see the phone registering and call extensions and the phone can be called. I can also make outgoing calls. However, I cant do *56* which should tell my asterisk box to read back my extension.
I also have almost inaudible sound.
Getting there though. Great work folks!
Thanks
N

about 'searching'
that might be a bug. Nevertheless it works.
I've installed the VM VI Black voip & config file and afterwards the original WM6Voip rtcdll. Now my display says 'activated'

Reviewing the audioRoute 1.2.010
It's really hard to believe that any VoIP client who play the sound just only on the loud speakerphone will become a real cellular telephony alternative. Everyone who got to be a VoIP nerd know the importance of routing the voice on the earpiece, and know this is the Microsoft Windows Mobile fatal weakness comparing with NOKIA and iPhone platform capabilities.

LG KS20 NAVIGATION-BUG SOLVED(partially)

Guys,
For those that you bought the LG-KS20,propably you have noticed that there is a bug concerning voice announcements of Destinator or TOMTOM.
The voice announcements are cut off most of time.
But if you run in the background a windows media file (f.e an mp3 with no sound) you will see that the voice announcements are fully heard.
I was wondering if a kind developers can help us a bit and explain us why this is happening.
Best Regards

At least I made a small script to start the playback, then start TomTom and after closing TomTom stop the playback.
Maybe someone finds it useful.
Regards
Helmut

Thanks for you soft
i supposed it doesn't resolve the microphone probleme?
Is it possible to resolve the micro problem by the same kind of utilities?

Mouse007
I am the same one who has post post in the french <forummobile> which i was asking the sollution with the microphone.
The thing is that i test my phone yesterday through my office for 1 hour kai 15 minutes in GSM and 1 hour an 35 minutes with 3G.My Microphone did not turned off.
What can i say

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your microphone bug, but since I remember having similar problems with my old SDA smartphone, which were caused by bad hardware design, I would suggest to send your phone to the service center. Maybe some KS20 phones are having similar defects, too. I'm afraid there will be no software solution for this bug.
Regards
Helmut

Thanks a lot , but the problem affects all the ks20 when we're calling outside 3G reception
I'm sure the problem could be solved by the same kind of software ...

I had also this problem occasionally and my favorite PDA reseller / SFR (Vodafone France) representative explained that the same problem occured with Nokia 3G+ phone using SFR networks.
Actually the problem would not lie with LG nor the ROM but with the SFR 3G+ network when the phone is switching between 3G+ and GPRS. The solution - as recommended by Nokia France in an official note further to this problem - is actually simply to block the phone to GPRS (or 3G+ if always available) network (instead of letting it switch automatically) until SFR fixed their network problem. Of course, if blocked to GPRS, you will need to change this everytime you want to use 3G+.

Maybe it cannot set the Audio buffer size properly... this bug involves not only Tomtom or Destinator but many other GPS navigation software too!!! This phone is FULL of BUGS!!!!! I've also try Miopap (iGo) software but it can't run in fullscreen mode because of top menu bar that cannot be hidden; then...this phone can't run any software using directDraw, so there's no 3D acceleration, no PointUI interface, no games, no iGo8...; I cannot use Skype and this due to the Qualcomm processor architecture...
hope a new rom is coming...now this phone (as is) sucks...

@gregnapola: Look into other posts - there IS a already a new row out for the KS20.
Greetings,
Pax

Thank you paxman, I've already seen it, but they're only SFR or German...I'm waiting for an English one at least(10e or better 10f)...so the only thing I can do now is playing (crying ) with my 10c italian ROM...

Here is the dutch version of the *Fix* for the LG KS20.
I also changed the dummy.asx a little. Instead of calling dummy.mp3 times 40. I've now made that script to call dummy.mp3 one time and then it will call dummy.asx again.
This means the loop is continuous instead of having it end after 40 times (20 hrs).
Hope it's useful.
I want to thank lindih for the original fix.

This is a cool looking phone.
Who is the maker of this phone? Quanta, the maker of O2 Atom?

I don't know exactly where all the hardware pieces are from, but the phone is sold by LG and caries the LG logo. So I suspect it could be made by LG.

Hi I have downloaded the file and see the folders and files inside can you please confirm the steps required to install.
I assumed copying the files into the relevent folders on the device is this correct?. and where do i put the "MortScript-4.1-PPC.cab" file and what do i do with it? do i just install it?

Voice Command

is there any rom that works with MS Voice Command?
It seems that on Stock roms it causes all sorts of bugs (internet connection shutting down etc, and then stops working?)
With 1000 contacts, Cyberion is not too useful?
And yes people. I have googled and searched please keep flame throwers off....

Hi,
have you tried this patch (link below)? It's for Elf, but perhaps it also works on Diamond.
I can't test it atm, cause my ordered Diamond was shipped today, so I have to wait a few more days

Hi,
can you tell me your version of VC?
Greets

@mikeycollins13
Today I get my Diamond. My 'old' VC works perfect.
VC version: 1.60.4622.0 with patch from link above.

Activating Voice Command
I currently have a kaiser and am considering a daimond. One hesitation is, how can you activate voice command on the diamond without having a button to map it too? I know it will also work via a headset, but what about just by using the phone itself?

Sykpe with Kavana 6.1 Excalibur

Hi
is someone able to run smoothly skype 2.4 on Excalibur with Kavana over WAPed WiFi?
I just get awfully chopped communications.
By the way the same result on a HTC touch as well.
Is is normal?
Has someone got another SIP client running well to recommend?
i'd highly appreciate your clues...

i saw somewhere it works a lil more smoother if u over clock ur phone to 240

try fring (it has sip support)

Trying fring...
Is that one less demanding on resources while phoning with a skype account than skype itself, or are you just telling me to phone over a SIP account instead?
Apparently increasing the pagefile could help, is that true?
