All,
I just upgraded to a new phone and WM6 and have the issue that when people try to call me, the mobile is aperently not on and they get my voice mail. This while my phone is on.
I even tested it myself with the phone lying next to me, and on, and I got the voice mail. strange thing is I can call out perfectly, so it apperently doesn't have anything to do with the strength of the connection.
Also I tested my sim in a different phone (samsung, no windows mobile) and there I can reach it perfectly. chenged back to the p3300, and agian voice mail.....
Anybody have this as well? and know how to solve it or at least what to trouble shoot?

I am running the leatest Artemis Touch 2.1 WM6 WWE ROM, full version of meschele.
It sounds like all your call are setted to forward to voicemail.
You better try to go to the phone settings/options goto tab "Services" and there "Get Settings" of the "Call forward" option and take a look.

Well, actually, it doesn't happen always. I do sometimes get a call on the mobile. I did check and call forwarding is not set standard to the voicemail, only when the phone can not be reached or when it is off.
Anything else?

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.

Interesting... I think my settings might have changed because I tested it again just now and it worked!
Thanks all!
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 experts
Whenever I dial codes like *101*2#, it keeps displaying "waiting". These were working before, but then it stopped and stacked at "waiting"
I tried in Nokia with same sim and it responded back with proper information.
I have installed different roms on my Hermes (SPV M3100) but it is not working.
I also confirmed from Mobile Operator company but they also said, it could be your mobile problem.
Any idea/help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Are you sure these are not JUST for nokia phones?
Thanks for reply
These codes are not phone specific. Instead these are Mobile Operator specific.
Like *101*2# is to check my remaining SMS bundle.
*111# is to check my remaining balance in Prepaid account.

Ahhh ok.
Which ROM are you using?
Have you run 'connection setup'?
Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 has broken codes support.
Wich dialer are you using????
default? i dont think so... if you are using another than the default, please open de advanced config... go to "phone" then in "skin" set "no"... "done" softreset coming then try again....
I can do it on my prepaid line too *133# it returns me my info correctly
I'm observing the behavior of these codes since some days and I've got to know that these codes are not working in some specific area, while working in another area.
In the area where these codes are not working, there are no mobile phone Jamming Devices or anything else. But this is highly security zone of the city.
But funny thing is, if I put same SIM in Nokia phone, these worked even in that high security area where my Orange SPV M3100 is not working. And this is where me and mobile operator are confused.
Windows Mobile 6.5 23047 have problem with ussd ( Unstructured Supplementary Service Data ) network messages *xxx#
We have same problem on TAI rom 23047 build ( for HTC Hermes )
Now im waiting for a new release to fix this problem...
|Sorry 4 my english.
On pretty much every phone I've ever previously owned, if I call someone who's in the middle of another call, I get a little beep and a notification displayed on screen saying "Call Waiting" or equivalent. On my HTC Desire, my first Android phone, there is no notification. Is there any way to make it tell me?
Is your Call Waiting (in Call settings) notification ON?
If by that, you mean:
Settings>Call>Additional Settings>Call waiting
then, yes. But that setting is for me recieving another call while I'm already on the phone. What I asked for is a way to be notified if the person I'm calling has me on call waiting.
I'm sorry, it seems I didn't pay enough attention to your original post.
I apologize but I don't know the answer.
Yea I found this pretty annoying also. Would be cool to find an APP on the market that notifies you with a beep or a vibration that another call is coming in
I don't know about you, but I get a beeping notification if someone's calling me while I'm on the phone. Might be done by my provider though. I switched to this provider at the same time as I switched to this phone.
Well I got used to Bluetooth dialing (put BT to ear, push button, say "NAME" and it dials", but unfortunately the Desire and Android 2.1 do not offer it right now
My provider might have something to do with my "no notification" when another call is coming in. Hopefully Froyo 2.2 can be released soon because I think it does offer BT support
there is
I have noticed this bug with the original ROM too. After rooting and installing Pays ROM the beep was ok, loud and clear.
Also on my current ROM (DeFroST 0.6) call waiting work.
(Payed) App from the market: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.droidea.callwaiting/
dboy0911, you made the same mistake ferus initially made. I'm not asking for the notification if someone's calling me. I want the notification if I'm calling someone who's already on another line.
i miss that in android, like my nokia,its defenatly not operator option since the same sim was on my nokia and it did notify me
Yeah, Rabia seems to be the first person getting exactly where I come from with this..

whats the use my friend, still no fix to my knowledge
Galaxy Tab does it so its possible, I actually found out that all Samsung phones even windows ones will actually display call waiting msg if ur calling someone who's is on a call currently, I actually might go for galaxy my self unless someone try a Samsung Android on HTC
It is very important to display call waiting msg. Why HTC does not support this basic feature.
I just checked and there's an option for "Vibrate on call waiting" in CM7. Don't know if thats AOSP or CM specific though.
It's not in the AOSP.. Or at least not as of FroYo, which is what the HTC Desire officially has as the latest. I know this because my colleague has a Nexus One and it doesn't have that option either.
I see. A good excuse to start rooting and loading CM then :]

Sorry, but that's not reason enough for me to change my ROM. I'm very happy with Sense UI. Though I would like to try CM tbh.. Still not gonna try it though.

Hello body(s)
As a matter of fact, I faced to a monster problem(absolutely in my view) . Initially I'm a PHP/C++ developer but I'd like to make a Microsoft Wm6 program on phone calls topic.
I'm trying to get information about incoming calls like caller id/number,... . In addition, I hadn't enough experience and knowledge about C#.net. I've been tried about Microsoft.WindowsMobile.telephony and Microsoft.WindowsMobile.status references(classes) but I have not being successful yet.
If anyone knows around it and helps me Who makes me Happy
regards,
