HI
I think about buying a TP2 and i wondering about Skype over the phone data link (Telstra NextG) not Wi-Fi which has been confirmed working.
Thanks
What do you want to know? Yes Skype works over 3G!
according to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532563
"I got it worrking. What's the problem? Only works on WIFI though
(at least I think, never tried diffrent)"
Skype on THE TP2 only work thought the wifi and not the data network link 3G!
So dose Skype on the TP2 work with the data network like Telstra NextG ?
thanks of any help
I believe Skype works on both WiFi and on 3G (HDSPA better I guess). Quarintis says it works ONLY on WiFi, however, he has never tried to use it on 3G. What a way to make a statement.
Be careful though that most carriers do not allow for Skype, streaming media etc over 3G or HSDPA networks. Not even with "unlimited internet" accounts.
HI, I use Skype over 3G. There is no technical problem unless your 3G provider blocks the port!
It works perfectly over the loud speaker and earphones.
However, I can hear well over bluetooth but my own voice sounds like a duck... (clip naro model)
Thanks for your help

Does this mean it works fine also in the Straight Talk mode where you turn the phone over flat on its face?
I make a lot of Skype calls from home over WiFi and I'd love to stop using a PC headset and use a proper phone instead. So with Straight Talk speaker phone + Skype that would be excellent because I can just have it sitting on my desk and don't need to hold anything.

the activation of the hands free mode by putting the phone upside down on the desk works only in normal calls.
skype per default routes all its audio through the rear loudspeakers. unfortunately their sound gets recorded by the microphne resulting in a massive echo. You probabely dont want to use skype in that configuration. The alternatives are:
1. a bluetooth headset
2. the wired headset that comes with the phone
3. routing the audio through the ear-piece (it is to silent to get recorded by the microphone)
of course none of the 3 options gives you the hands free experience
Anyone know how to make video calls on it (through Wi-Fi)? I cant seem to find the settings for the camera.

You can't find it simply because the current version of Skype mobile unfortunately does not support video calls.

Hi all
AudioRoute by Teksoft alows you to have skype calls come out the phone's earpiece, like a regular call. I think Fring does this automatically. I think they've got a thread here somewhere.

Using the cabled earphones, just plug it and it works with Skype.. no need anything else! or do you mean Audioroute helps for bluetooth earpiece?
anybody get skype to work over bluetooth? i downloaded both programs and can't figure out how to get it to work here.
thanks.
i had an xperia and there was a skype version for it that would let you hear the sound from the earpiece, wich is more convenient if you are not using handsfree. See, you can let the sound go trough the speaker, but not always handy if you are in private talk. audioroute works, but it's just not that convenient to switch between the speakers all the time.
So... xperia's version of skype does install on tp2, but when starting the app it says that the tp2 is not an xperia, obviously... so... how to bypass that? anyone?

I have, i buy Jabra BT3030, this have hands free and stereo audio-you need this.
Jabra works with skype good
sorry for my english
dav000, how did you get skype to output sound to the bluetooth? it is not a built in feature to do this.
I've tried using Skype over NextG with my TP2, and have had nothing but extremely awful results. Horrible lag makes any Skype call over the air illegible. The only decent Skype calls I've made with the unit has been over wifi. Basically, it lags so much over Telstra that all you hear is wharblgarbl while it races to catch up. Calls skype to skype over NextG are marginally better.
For that matter, Fring over NextG is also as awful. Simply cannot make VOIP calls over the NextG network with the TP2.
It's a shame, too. With my nokia e51, you could still make Fring calls even if there was about a 2 second delay.
Mileage may vary in the city, though, but certainly not in the parts of Melbourne that I've tried (CBD, Melbourne East). I do live in country Victoria, but NextG here is still tons faster than Edge, but just can't seem to handle Skype. Knowing Telstra, maybe they've blocked the ports.

Hello Guys,
Please could some one give some advice how can I use my BT using Skype ?
because is not convenient some times ...
Thanks
My understanding is that this is not possible. Skype - by default - handles the audio signal differently - via data connection, not the GSM connection. So, the only way to get it to a headset is to use the plugged in version
Thats probably true because I can get my bt8010 to work with skype but either I lose sound on my end or the callers end and I know its not the headsets fault. The program starts running really really slow like it doesn't have enough bandwidth or something..
Its still in beta so hopefully it gets addressed..
As some of you may know, VOIP is possible with our phone, but require a VOIP cab, and editing a file to enter the SIP settings. Or, alternatively, there are a few applications out there like Skype, or Fring.
But the universal problem for all implementations thus far is that they all route the sound out the speaker on the back of our phone!
Today I came across BT Total Broadband Anywhere: http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=24561
This service clearly uses VOIP!
Obviously BT has fixed this problem! So two questions:
Could any of the ROM hackers here extract the fix for the rest of us to use?
Can a BT user with this service test Skype and see if the speaker problem exists?
Thanks!

BT Voice over internet is lame, you can hardly hear people, it cut's out during calls etc.
I have just reset my phone from BT due to bad programming on BT's behalf, so no voip i can live without, battery life was lame 2.
Yeah, but those issues may just be with BT's implementation of VOIP. Can you remember if when you were on a voip call the sound was correctly routed through the earpiece? our longstanding issue is that the sound was coming out of the back of hte phone (speaker) and thus voip caloing was useless in public places.

It was proper routed through the earpiece.
With AGEphone Mobile 2 Speakerphone Edition there is no need to worry about this in the long run: We are planning to add support for the internal speaker to all relevant devices!
Hey guys,
i was wondering if anyone was facing this problem... i have the Alpine 103BT in my car which has an inbuilt parrot bluetooth system. I have noticed that when someone calls me it shows up on the lcd on the headunit then immediately drops the call! it shows up as a missed call on my tp2... but when i call using this bluetooth system then it works like a charm!
Any idea what i can do to change this? Is there a setting i have inadvertently changed?
I would really appreciate this because this call dropping really defeats the point of hands free!

I've got the same problem.
Just look a few posts down the list and you'll notice my 'cry for help'.
So far though, nobody's come to the rescue.
I've been reading that our phones have a unique BT-implementation, so it could be down to a bug in that area. If more people show up having similar issue, we might know.
Until then: fingers crossed and hope for sombody to post a solution.
Great! its not just me then! I hope it gets sorted! it gets on your nerves after awhile!
That's putting it mildly.
This sucks big-time: when on a business-call you definitely don't want your headset to die in you. During any conversation, really, but blasting along the motorway it's the last thing you need.
I also have an alpine 103 bt and an htc touch(elf) with onyx rom on it.
my problem is that when i make a call either from the head unit or the phone on the head unit it stops the music, displays CALLING and then after 3 seconds it displays ------------- , resumes the music, but the phone doesnt hang up. It continues the call, shows that is stil connected but you cant hear anything.
this is really frastrating as it does this sort of thing randomly and not always.
any thoughts?
Your symptoms sound a bit different from ours so it could be a totally different problem.
We might need to be paitient until one of the experts has a simiral experience and dived into the software.
Until then, I'm baffled.

Come to think of it... i have a similar problem.. when i get an incoming call it stops the music and registers a call and just a few second later..i get the --------------, and then the music comes back...by the time i fish my phone out of the pocket ive got a missed call! havnt noticed any problems when im calling though.
i tried repairing the phone to the unit but same thing! not sure what else i could do
Similar problem (I think)
Cant get a working setup in my car kit. I have a Jaguar XF SC with bluetooth handsfree...The TP2 (TMO US) pairs and docks fine, but doesnt work well. Incoming calls dont seem to be recognized, and outbound calls will dial and communicate, but wont hangup. When I hang up from the TP2, the car kit still thinks its connected and mutes the radio until i forcebly disconnect from TP2...

I've got exactly the same problem as the original poster. Mine's a vodafone TP2 with the standard vodafone rom. I've got the Alpine 104BTi. I can make outgoing calls ok but as has been described any incoming call will show the caller ID for about 1 ring and then it hangs up the call.
I've got a Jabra BT500 which works perfectly. I am wondering whether it may be the actual firmware in the Alpine device. If you look at the phone compatibility list on the Alpine website the TP2 is not listed. It worked fine with my Kaiser and this is listed as compatible.
I emailed their tech support and they said they are waiting for their customized version of the firmware from Parrot to be updated, possibly around September. I've noticed that for the Parrot standalone devices these all list the TouchPro2 as compatible, so maybe this will be fixed.
They did mention that the firmware update may only be available through the dealers. I'll keep an eye on their website. My current firmware version is 320.
I've read some other threads somewhere that people with the vodafone rom describe having problems with bluetooth that are fixed after flashing with a different rom so may turn out to be that.
Infuriating though.
It seems to be the poor implementation of the new BT stack
I have had similar problems to those described above, my Peugeot van has inbuilt BT (uses Parrot in implementation) which just misbehaves unbelievably including hanging up the current call if a new one comes in on call waiting, phonebook access is rediculously slow and buggy.
My Jabra BT8010 disconnects at random
My Jawbone disconnects very occasionally
The stack is full of bugs and HTC must know it - I reported it on their support system and firstly fobbed off, then they said they would look into it, then the log was auto closed - very convenient way to show they are meeting targets in resolving issues.
It is poor, poor and more poor. The new WIDCOMM stack looks great but doesnt really work.
Very poor for a flagship handset and they should sort something out
I went to an Alpine delearship who suggested what ukdoc was trying to do.. basically firmware update! Are you using a different Alpine website? Because the one i go to says coming soon on the page where software updates are supposed to be. I culdnt find any connection with parrot and alpine on the parrot website!
Basically what im asking is how are you going to be getting the firmware update and could you direct me towards it!
Many thanks Mate

FYI, I just upgraded the radio to "4.46.25.24 - HTC" (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939) and the handsfree seems better...not sure it's perfect, but it does answer and hangup now...
Upgrade Alpine CDE-104BTi firmware from 320 to 360
I have just updated the firmware in my CDE-104BTi radio to version 360

This has fixed the problem of not being able to recieve incomming calls on my HTC Touch Pro 2.

Hi
I just tried updating the BT in my Alpine 104bti. The laptop connects to the headunit but the update tool don't find the connection, I've tried disabling the antivirus etc. But it don't see the connection but the connection is displayed on the laptop.
Any Ideas whats wrong ?
Cheers Gomez...

Tried again using a laptop with Xp on worked first time, Seems Windows 7 was causing issues.
i installed the new skype ver 3.0 and my bt headset(jabra halo) mics doesnt work? is this normal? as i have read bt headsets dont exactly work with skype yet? coz i hear my friend but she cant hear me ?

cauz i have problems with others some times
I'm not so sure what starzshowz means, but Skype works perfectly for me. I use the Panel version as it is better optimized for the X1 than the general public version. Granted the latest general public has file transfer, but I don't need that as much as I need output to the proper phone speaker, and proper BT support.

Pre, does your BT headset work when making regular calls (not through skype) and when listening to music?

Is this a known issue/"feature"? If I'm using wifi calling on my G2, the device ignores my connected wired headset and uses only the phone speaker and mic. If I'm not using wifi calling, everything works fine. It did this before and after installing Bacon Bits. I haven't tried this with Bluetooth, but wired is really where my concern is.
Brad
Sorry for the shameless bump, but is anyone else having this problem? It happens on both mine and my wife's G2. The DTMF (dialing) comes through the headset, but when the call itself connects, it goes to the handset. Speakerphone works fine also.
Anyone else? Is this a known bug or "feature" that I'm just not aware of?
Brad
Yeah, I just discovered this issue....any have any information on this? I was hoping to use this for long conference calls...kind of useless if I cannot use a headset.
Edit: Bluetooth seems to work fine - but I don't want to depend on it.

I hope that's not a bug b/c my main use on my phone (HTC magic 32b) has been making calls through internet using new built in sip and the next phone I will get is an HTC T-Mobile G2 and if I can't talk through headset will making calls through sip then that will be a huge drawback.
