skype on cingular 8525

Hi,
I have skype on my cingular 8525 and the signal is not clear. I can hear echos and distortions, especially when I call outside the U.S.
I checked the "echo cancellation ON" option on skype, but it's still the same.
I've heard that there's a better skype program for this phone. I'm actually running the latest version given by cingular and WM5 (for now)
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Go to SKYPE's site and download it. I use that one and make a lot f INternational calls through it. Skype via WiFi is always better than via GPRS/UMTS/3G.

They've just released a new version of Skype (2.2.0.36 I think) so give that a try.

Skype does not mention model # 8525...for Cingular/at&t...
Is it safe to install ? which one should we pick out of the 3 models supported?

The new version does work on the Hermes with voice calls!!! No support Only written messages unfortunately... Need to use the previous beta build Version 2.2.0.20. If you can't find it then I can give you the cab...

I need the Previous Version of Skype 2.1!!!
After upgrading from Skype WM 2.1 to 2.2, I managed to sign-in but noticed my skype-out account was not recognized (no credits were shown) nor did I succeed to make the echo call. Skype just crashed! When I followed the link to activate my skype-out, I got a "page not found" message!. Since I knew I had credits available, I then tried to call using the dial and it crashed as well! This is serious as I had install an old version 2.0.0.39 because my previous version 2.1 was overwritten by the new executable that I downloaded!
BEWARE OF INSTALLATION ON ANY HERMES100 DEVICE

Skype wont work on mine either but X-ten did work brilliantly with other VOIP providers that I use

is working fine only with 2.2beta, voice and data, uninstall and earase all previous versoins, reboot than reinstall this version
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/downloading_high_beta.html

will try it later...my phone hung :O
my phone wont load pas the Windows Mobile Screen...does anyone know what is wrong????

SKYPE is unable to run under WM6.1?

My device is CINGULAR 8525, I updated the system to WM 6.1, kernel version is 5.2.19174. SKYPE 2.1/2.2 is unable to run under WM 6.1 right now, I installed SKYPE successfully, either CAB or EXE file. But after I tap the icon on TODAY screen, it jumps out.
SKYPE was running well under WM 5.0 and / or 6.0.
Who has experience to run it under WM6.1?
Thanks!

Sorry if I'm not much help, but it does work for me (under 3g Skype or any other program has never worked under WIFI for me)

I'm using the latest version and it's working fine for me.

Skype is ok
Running ShadoW 2.1 and Skype 2.1.56 on HTC Hermes and everything is ok.

Hey Guys,
I've the same problem, but when I tried pay's rom 3.05, skype runs pretty well.
Maybe the problem is the kernel 19174.
And I could not run skype on some of kernel 19199.
Wondering pay more attention to WM6...

Yes, probably I should be back to WM6.0, if it is a problem for WM6.1.

As I said, on Shadow 2.1 TE - WM 6.1 (build 19199) works Skype without problem and I have no problem also on other WM6.1 ROMs! If You have Hermes, use version, I have mentioned in my first post here, because other versions are NOT working on this type of device (it is caused by device, not OS).

Processor is the problem. Hermes processor is build on arm9 architecture and Skype does not support it anynore (only messaging works). In other words you need a device with arm11 processor or the earlier version of Skype which supported arm9.
Cheers

Skype runs nicely on 3G and WiFi with Pay's WM6.1 v3.05.

The last version of Skype that supported arm9 processors was Skype 2.2Beta version

same problem :s
skype works fine on wm 6.0, but not run with the offical htc rom 6.1 :/

Skype Works!
Hi,
I can confirm that I have tried the current windows mobile version of Skype, available here, and it works well over WiFi with the two latest WM6.1 roms by Dvha79_ddt. The older betas I had been using did not work.
Regards,

I'm running the latest version of Skype (v. 2.2.0.37) on PDAviet WM6.1 (build 19900). It runs pretty fast. Faster than on any ROMs I have tried. Before I cannot use it as PPC to PC call but now its just like pc to pc call, with the absent of video though. I used it over WiFi.

works for me now also (build 19199).
I read somewhere on the net a while ago that Skype personel was working to get Skype work with arm9 architecture again, apparently they did it.

Alltel Touch Vogue

Hi,...New here,
I have made the leap into modifying my phone's software enough to download "RUU_Vogue_4350_ALLTEL_WWE_3.10.671.1_RS3.42.30_NV2.02_PRL30031_SHIP.exe" from Software.alltel.com. Was this update supposed to "unlock" my GPS? If not, does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Once I get that going, who knows, I might go crazy and utilized some of the fabulous ROMs you all are offering!
Thanks

Yes that rom update is the official Alltel wm 6.1/ GPS update. It also has a 30 day trial for Alltel nav.

dont forget to go to settings>phone>location settings and turn it to "on"
And if your feeling real adventurous go over to ppcgeeks and try shadow-techs "super fast lock on" AGPS fix. Then download google maps and click use gps and you should be good.
P.S ( AGPS fix not nessissary to make it work, just gives you faster locks)
Goodluck!

Thank you both for your advice! I didn't realize I had to turn it on under settings or that I received the new program (alltel navigator). I am on my way now! I haven't tried the fast lock update you mentioned, but I did install the unlocker so I can give some new looks a shot. Any recommendations for roms to try?

Has anyone had any luck with the official 6.1 ROM and getting the internal GPS to work with a 3rd party program (specifically iGO 8)???

custom ROM & update?
With this update mentioned above..........I have already flashed to a custom ROM, do I have to flash back to the official alltel ROM before running this update? I have flashed to several REV A roms and can't get my GPS to lock or anything? have tried EVERYTHING, believe me...........
thanks in advance for any help!

Mortplayer and TCPMP crash after loading WM 6.1 updates
I have just completed upgrading my OS to the latest 6.1 Pro and installed Conflippers Alltel ROM (Great ROM) however now mortplayer comes up freezes and then exits. Loaded TCPMP and it just crashes. I use NCH Pocket dictate and it had numerous errors on (Alltel) WM6.1 / LBS Update – Version 3.10.671.1 but after the Conflipper ROM, it works great. Is there an issue with WM6.1 and Mortplayer that anyone knows how to fix? Also, I did update Esmertec Jbed 20081203.2.1.cab that fixed the Java issues with the earlier version.

nfsfans rom
You should try out nfsfans roms here, imo
they are the best out there. They have all the new
touch flo features and are very stable.
He also does a very good job updating and supporting them.

nfsfan
+1 for NFSFAN's roms

Another vote for NFSFAN's rom. Only thing not working for me with alltel is mms.

Problem kaiser with android no network

HI
i have kaiser 130
I tried few diffrent android version but with evry version phone cant connect to network sometimes he connects for few minutes but not longer. With windows everything ok
I tried:
Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1
Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
Im using
HardSpl 3.34
radio 1.70.19.09 (tried 1.70.18.02)
Protocol 25.83.40.02h
Maybe someone had same problem and can help me?
Sorry for my english.
i just checked i was editing nbh for Warm Donut RLS 5 with Kaiser updates integrated including battery
and i was using esclair not donut. (dum) Maybe in this is problem....

I has the same problem too ,waiting somebody give a method to solve this

Have you tried an older radio, such as 1.65.21.18?

No because in guide:"How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)" (sorry i cant paste link because im new user) is recommended 1.70.x and better here it is "#2 Does your Kaiser have a relatively new radio rom? If not then get one. Recommended to have 1.70.xx.xx and up. "
if it is radio fault so why on winMO with same radio working?
And one more thing kaiser with android finds not 02 but BTCellnet (in the beginning O2 was BTCellnet )

The same radio suggestion was made to me several days ago while trying to get audio working in android (via HaRET). Upping to 1.70.xx didn't fix my issues, but 1.65.xx did.
If you are able to test it in WM, you must still have WM installed. Are you booting android with HaRET?

No i think HAret if you installing to sdcard but im installing not in sdcard.
im doing all by this guide go here to read.
xda-developers > HTC Kaiser: Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III > Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development
> How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide)

Yes, I know the sticky thread to which you have now twice referred. I am asking how you know wifi works in WM if you have replaced WM with android as the guide leads you to do.
There is no danger it trying an older radio regardless of what the guide suggests. I would respectfully suggest that you give 1.65.xx a shot, despite what the guide says. If the older one works, then you have solved your problem. If it doesn't work, you can flash 1.70.xx back on and try something else.
I am running Incubus's Super Eclair on my device and wifi works flawlessly. I am also able to do BT connections and hear audio. None of these worked when I tried 1.70.xx, so I use 1.65.21.18 instead.

em not wifi iwth wifi every thing ok but mobile newtwork dosent work

Roger that. My recommendation still stands, however.
Trying the alternate radio will take you less than 5 min total including d/l time. You can find it linked in post #3 of this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182.
You could also try 1.71.09.01, which I see was posted several days ago.

thx m8 its working! just signal strength is bad but still....it works! one more time thank you m8!

m8?
What was your solution?

i have a similar problem. Cannot connect to the internet with 2g/3g, but wifi works. The latest rom did not solve my problem. Maybe i'll try older ones...

hi @all,
any news here?
I got the same problem.
At the moment I have running the version milanche has upped, because I thought it is running for him, so maybe it does also for me. but it doesn't.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6570064&postcount=7
(sorry, as a new user I can't make a link out of this)
Everything seems to be fine except mobile internet.
Edit:
Maybe I should inform you that I already have edited my APN-Settings. And I really think they should be ok. On WM6.1 these settings are working.
And I like to mention that I'm booting from SD.

Kernel may be ?...
Same problem with my phone. I have installed Froyo as explained in another post on my Kaiser TyTNII and everything works perfect except the phone network. I tried already around 5 diferent radios, with NO results.
Do anybody think this issue may come from the kernel instead ?
Using the "kaisimg-panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-06-09-10_22.nbh" on my phone.
Thank you.

I have a problem with an i-mate K-JAM ... Some time ago I got this ppc but I went I installed a program and got stuck. Windows and the currency we now find no signal at all looking and looking and still not know what does. please help me

possible solution
I,m started MODEM application,tapped Connect-and looks like APN now working!

Let's see how long it works for you. I have the same setup as orcatrainer but mine works off and on some times. I must add, I have Simple Mobile. They are on the T-mobile network therefore, I cannot access 3G on my tilt. Playing with the 2G setting usually cause my phone to connect to APN until I turn the phone off. Then I have to struggle to get it to work again. I just put my sims back into my Blackjack 2 to access mobile data until this issue is fixed.

Hi there, I don't understand well what you did on your phone which made it work. Under which section you can find "modem" application ?
Thanks.

[Q] Is there a Haret Android version HTC Kaiser where the camera works ?

Hi,
I have been an old HTC Kaiser, and have been experimenting with Android using Haret, running on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 .
I found Myn's Warm Donut ran well, but that the camera and sound, e.g. ringtones, did not function.
I have spent hours searching the Internet, and found the most people who have tried to fix it have failed and those that did had to sacrifice another feature such as wireless.
Can anyone recommend an Android install that will run on Haret on my Kaiser and allows the camera to function ?
All replies are appreciated.
Regards
GW

you need to make sure have the right kernel or the update for the kernel (zimage is the kernel) check the posts in the build and you should find something (use search).
