[Q] Skype video calling - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

My Daughter and I regular use Skype. She used to have vodafone 1615(HTC kaiser??- tytn11??) and I have TP2 we used video calling alot which was nice.She then upgraded to an HTC HD2, so video calling stopped between us on Skype so we just used normal calling via Skype.
Anyway she has just upgraded her phone again to one which supports Skype video calling(iphone)So I tried to make a Video call on my TP2 and found I couldn`t. So I tried to make a Skype video call to pc and it didn`t work So I thought I would load Skype onto my Android(froyo7) os from the developers here. Unfortunately video calling is not supported on my phone via the Android os.
Sorry this is long winded but I needed to explain it correctly, so my question is can I get an upgrade for my TP2 on windows 6.5 to enable Skype video calling or is ther an upgrade for the Android (froyo7) os on my phone to allow video calling.
cheers in advance.

Mobile video audio chat with edge or adsl with bt/usb possible!and another things...

hello
first, I use skype on my hermes 200 adsl connection via a USB or EDGE connection in both cases I had not heard the voice of my interloccuteurs (voice cuts) while they are listening
will become of the weakness of my connection or there a reason?
also, I install skype mobile beta lite (for symbian s60 v.2) on a Nokia N72 to communicate with my hermes 200 but I have not the icon of the call, and in the category of aid on I said that "the call will be possible after the upgrade skype when it will be available in your country"
could I have the icon of the call before skype lite mobile beta is available in my country knowing that they have not yet?
else, the audio chat it was possible between two windows mobile user?
Finally, set apart the MIDs (see here) http://www.intel.com/products/mid/devices.htm , are there other mobile devices capable of video chat skype? if not, they are the other software can do without 3G or wifi, personally I know 5: vochat, octro, tivi, imichat (under symbian), and microsoft portrait
and another that I could not operate: tabletmedia, of whether someone else could get it to tell me how?

Skype on HD?

Anyone has Skype installed on HD? I installed the version at official website and it didn't work.
use FRING: you can manage Skype, MSN messenger and many similar apps all in one software and all at the same time.
I installed Skype on my Touch HD today from the Skype website. I used the 2.5 Beta version for Pocket PC (installed to my computer and used ActiveSync to install to internal memory of my HD). I've seen posts where people have been saying they've had issues, but (so far) Skype is working on my HD.
Skype works flawlessly on the HD.
I tested skype from my HD to another HD with skype and the results where
really awesome.. so little lag you dont even notice (we both used Wifi)
To Op: make sure you download for ppc and not smartphone.
I downloaded the PPC version, and try it again but still not working, maybe my HD is chinese version?
echoooooo
I used Skype and just like when i use it at home i get the echo sound and a repeating of dialog

Skype 2.5 didn't work on my HD either (crashed as soon as I tried to call someone), but the earlier 2.2.0.38 works.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to attach it to my post, but maybe you can find it somewhere on the web.
i tried once and the install didn't complete properly, the second time it just ran ok and have no issues with it. They should somewhat fix the interface tho and make it a little more fingerfriendly. support for camera would rule also.
on my Hd works but only if use WiFi, doesn't work via ActiveSync
i have installesd the mobile version from the website and it works fine. No problems at all with it. camera does not work with it but other than that it works fine.
I downloaded the current version from the web site and it works fine on wifi. Does not want to work over activesync (but then why would I want to bother, when I'm using the PC I just use Skype on the PC).
I have not yet tried Skype on the HD with bluetooth - next thing to try ...
I use Nimbuzz.
http://www.nimbuzz.com/en/mobile/mobile/
The new version supports WVGA an can manage a lot of providers like skype, icq, google, StudiVZ (german), yahoo, msn, ... in just one program. I love it

I didn't see the touch HD version listed there....which should I download?
Hey guys, I have Skype 2.5 working nicely except for one thing...
The sound comes out of the REAR speaker instead of the front
I think I may have seen someone mention it before in another thread but couldn't find it again.
Any fixes? Cheers
I am using skype on my HD and it works like clock and it looks really pretty as well...
It works both over wifi and over t-mobile internet connection...
cheers
Haha lucky you - sadly I still have this annoying problem
That's cool man, are you using a stock Touch HD or a particular ROM?
I have Skyp on my HD, it works well over both WiFi & my 3G connection, although as said, the voice comes over the rear speaker
After a bit of digging, a guy from Skype says HTC haven't shared something that would enable them to use the front speaker perfectly, without hacking which he says would cause too many support issues. Nevertheless here's the thread, worth a read..
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=186171&st=20
His suggestion is to install this app called AudioRoute..
http://teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
.. and I just checked to see if it works, and it does.
So before launching Skype we will have to launch this little program and it puts a small square on your Home screen. After pressing it you get the options of Front, Rear, Speakerphone ON and Exit. Pressing Front and then making a call with Skype has the desired effect.
It is good enough for me until hopefully Skype come up with something
Working with Skype for WM 3.0 on my HD and found no bugs. Everything goes well. WiFi or Edge or 3G all without problems. SMS now included and the most improvement. My provider offered a cheap 3G flatrate but the SMS are very expensive. Without me thanks to skype!
Interesting to see my Skype shows copyright for 2.5 but under version it's 3.0.0.100 to found. Seems they found no time to change the copyright up to today
P.S. The front speaker is active without any additional app. In fact there are front and rear active, allways.

Skype

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.
Teksoft AudioRoute
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.

NVIDIA SHELD TV android box SKYPE VIDEO CALLINGS

Hello Everyone! I bought a camera (logitech c270) compatible with nVidia Shield. It is compatible, works well on most application (i installed for example Google Camera, IPCAMERA, Warden cam) but when i try to use it with skype, it does not works. Skype do not recognize the camera. I wonder if there is a modded skype APK to use compatible cameras for video callings. Or maybe an old stable version wich lets me do video callings.
Maybe porting from another device ?
I know i could upgrade to Full android but Gamepad is no longer working with wireless and i do not want to lose gwarranty.
Well, just yesterday I bought the C920 for testing. I'm on 3.3 software, rooted. Sideloaded Skype v7.24.0.255 (Just today in apkmirror released the v7.25.0.308, so...). My results:
- Voice only calls work great, the mic on the controller works! I can see the other person on my TV and audio in and out work really well
- The webcam it's detected by Skype and works. Video works great, but for some reason none of the mics works (Controller and webcam mic). I can hear the other person but no audio from my side
Tellybean by the other side works as intended. A lot of audio lag but works.
