(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.

I780 and Skype

Hey guys,
Some people are claiming that Skype works properly on their I780... For me it doesn't... I can use it with a headset or the handsfree but the internal speaker (the one for normal phone calls) doesn't work. I've tried several Roms to check if there is one which makes Skype work but nothing worked...
So, I was just wondering if you could tell me about your experience with Skype. Is it working properly for you? If so, please let me know what you did to make it work.
Thanks guys!

no comments about skype on the I780? Does nobody wanna use it?

As far as I know, Skype, or any other software, can't use the speaker that you would normally use for phone calls on Windows Mobile devices. Only the internal phone- and VoIP-application of Windows Mobile is allowed to use the speaker of the phone. All other applications must use the speaker on the back.
So there is no way to get this to work, unless Microsoft adds access to this speaker through their API.

I use Skype sometimese and it's really driving me mad that I can't use it with built-in phone speaker or BT headset.
It also seems not using all available bandwidth so the quality is only acceptable.

skype works on my i780.
one day i was in samsung service centre to upgrade my rom, the samsung service personel noticed my i780 had skype installed. he asked how i managed to get it works. lol
i told him i dont know, i just download and install

So you are saying that your skype is working properly? You can use the earpiece of the phone to call people? Sorry man, but I think you are confusing something. I found out that some people thought their earpiece would be working but what they heard came from the handsfree speaker. If you turn down the volume of the handsfree speaker, it kind of sounds like the internal earpiece speaker... Can you check again please?

the phone would be just perfect with skype functionality but it cant use the normal earpiece...
Did anyone find a solution?

Maybe Skype Mobile 3 Beta is worth of checking out.

for my skye works (even trough normal built in speaker), but only wifi. Is it posible my provider (t-mobile nl) has disabled the port or something?

It looks like some of you don't pay atenttion to what is written here, and keeps asking the same question.
As Ralph said, there is no way to get around it. It's not just a Skype problem, It doesn't work with all the others third party applications.
The same thing happends with the front camera in all the Instant Messengers. It just doens't work.

I have the same problem but I found a trick!!
Launch Skype with no wifi.
Switch Wifi on (it is fine even if u are in an area with protected only or no access point at all).
You'll notice that your status will become available (green).
Switch Wifi off.
Don't ask me why.....but it seems to work!!

Do you mean that you can hear Skype call via earpiece?? Are u sure? It is not supported by skype it self!! In my opinion you are confusing the sound source. I'll be more than happy to be wrong.
Can u post your i780 ROM ans Skype version?

mobile shell 3.5.1 bluetooth widget not working

mobile shell 3.5.1 bluetooth widget on t-mobile TP2 is not working, i.e. on/off does not work. needs to use comm manager to turn on/off bluetooth.
any others observe the same?
any resolutions?

Same Problem with older version of Mobile shell
I had The same sort of issues with an older version of Mobile Shell. It failed to control WiFi and Bluetooth on mine though. I have not tried the Newer version you are using though.
Do you Think Mobile Shell is Worth the $$?
Thanks,
Minoch

I have same problem for MBSH 3.5.0 and when i chage to 3.5.1, problem still the same.
I still didn't got any solution.

I got the same bluetooth problem.
Another problem I have is when I am in the recent calls/dialer screen the "Contacts" selection on the lower left of the screen does nothing when I tap it. Anyone else confirm this?

Almost everyone else has this. There is a known conflict between Mobile Shell, and the new dialer screen. The 3.5.2 version of Mobile Shell seems to have fixed it for stock WM6.5 ROM's, but other than that, it remains a "known issue", which is apparently not easy to fix.

OK Google - No voice responses

Hi guys
Please help! I am a few days into my OnePlus 3 ownership and for most part I'm loving it! I have been a Nexus owner since the 4, with my last device being the 6P (unfortunately just a little too big to keep) and wanted a near vanilla OS device with great hardware in the form factor.
Besides the known bugs with Oxygen OS and the outdated phone apk which I wish had call blocking and local search/caller ID - any suggestions for a solution? The real issue for me is I get no voice responses to any of my OK Google voice commands. I am running the oxygen OS 3.2.1 update.
I only get responses in the browser / on screen. This is regardless of the command, what's the weather , what's the time in Tokyo etc or set a reminder, send a text to ... etc
Now I have done the following to troubleshoot:
1) Checked all related settings (speech output on etc)
2) Tried both uk and us English and ensured languages had been downloaded
3) Factory reset and tried again from restoring Google account
4) Factory reset and tried as a new phone with no Google account
Whatever I do there is no voice response. I will note during Google maps use if I ask a question I get a response.
OnePlus support offer nothing but an RMA which of course is probably no the solution it must be a setting or a software bug.
Can fellow owners check if they have the same issue and if they have a solution, kindly share it?
Many thanks

My first op3 was defective. Same issues with the mic. (besides phone calling)
Don't waste your time guys., you have to return device.
Sorry.

I think it only works on Google launcher home screen and any screen while phone is on (if activated under settings). It will not work while screen is off. Correct? Or are you referring to something different?

Thanks for this, to be clear are you saying you had the same problem, voice commands via 'OK Google' were working but the response was only on screen? But your replacement phone works fine and you get audio responses/'OK Google' talks back?

Thanks for your response, I am referring to the fact the phone doesn't talk back. No voice response when asked a question. 'OK Google' works from any screen when the phone is on (and you choose the setting) but whatever you do the answer or response is on screen only, no answers are spoken back.

I have the exact same issue, it was working when I received the phone. But since 4-5 days it has stopped responding back, it just shows the answers on screen.
Good to know that I am not the only one facing this problem. I hope it is just a software bug and will be fixed soon.

i am saddened because of this as well! I used to ask Google Now about the weather, time, to set the alarm and the talk-back is a great feature to
me, just that now my OP3 has lost this capability !!! I've already googled for a while, a few are questioning same problem but no resolution!

Wow, it got fixed automatically after so many days. I was just setting a reminder and it replied with voice, so I tested other commands too, like weather, time and other stuff. It is working properly for me now, please check if it's fixed for you too. (I didn't update to 3.2.2 yet)

I've had this phone for almost a week and have had the same issues. Tried clearing cache, reinstalling Google, changing settings and nothing worked. All of sudden it started talking back to me yesterday. So there is hope.

Hi FateWeaver, I updated to 3.22 and this is now fixed!!! That's the solution guys at least it was for me, install the oxygen os 3.22 update! So happy OnePlus are delivering fixes so quickly!

Question [HELP] Call Screening Setup Issues

I'm having issues getting past the "Download a language update to finish setting up Call Screen", been trying for the last 48 hours.
Clicking it returns "The update isn't ready yet, wait a few minutes and try again"
Phone: Pixel 6 Pro
Google Phone Version: 72.0.406921769-publicbeta-pixel2021
Service provider: EE
Country: UK
The odd part is, using the Public Beta version on my Pixel 5, I set up Call Screening without any issue, downloaded, followed prompts and done.
I've had a look at a few threads referencing Call Screening and I've checked the following...
GBoard Language: English (UK)
System Language: English (UK)
Google Assistant Language: English (UK)
Google Account Language: English (UK)
I've tried deleting cache and storage for the Phone app multiple times yet still fails with the above error.
I've tried doing it on WiFi and on 4G, end result is the same.
Any ideas I'd appreciate...

is there a public beta on the Pixel 6 Pro? Where is that from?

Just enrol into the Beta via Play Store and that's the version you get. (On Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro)
Default version is 72.0.406921769-pixel2021
Public Beta version is 72.0.406921769-publicbeta-pixel2021
I don't think there's any difference between these two versions, it's just that I was enrolled into the Beta on my Pixel 5 and it carried across.

Thanks - i was on Beta on Pixel 5. assumed it would have rolled that over .... assume nothing

My issue is still open for anyone new to the thread. Hoping someone can help.

Have the same issue on Pixel 6 Pro in Ireland. Pixel 2XL worked fine before moving to 6.

I don't even see the option for Call Screening - Pixel 6 Pro, UK, ID Mobile.

Forgive my ignorance, but is this related to the automatic call screening or just manual call screening - or all of the above? According to this article Google rolls out Call Screen to seven more countries — but there's a catch:
Google Pixel owners in more countries can now filter out robocalls, albeit manually.

Yep, it's related. We're trying to enable Manual Call Screening.

@OP, sorry for small OT, but can you tell me if you can see the Caller ID (company name showing instead of number) when you are on 5G/4G? This is not working on the Pro 6 for me if I'm not of WiFi. It's like the phone cuts off any Internet access when it has call incoming...

Manual screen calling is working fine with my phone, central Europe. So the rep is definitely clueless. But all Level 1 reps are clueless, you could also say useless, but don't do that, that's rude.

I spoke to them and confirmed it was and they told me what to troubleshoot and if it didn't work then to wait 48 hours.

Works fine for me in the UK but I has to set all my languages to English UK and then clear cache and storage on contacts then reboot and it worked after that.

Call Screen option has been updated recently to this now. The 'Voice' option appears but still fails to download the language pack when I click it.
When I receive a call the "Call Screen" option appears but clicking it doesn't do much, doesn't transcribe what they say and the Accept/Decline call buttons don't work at all.
Does anyone have any idea on how to complete the setup so the feature works correctly?

As of a few days ago it was magically configured.
My suggestion to you would be not to reset the app/cache, be in the beta and just leave it.
After 1 to 2 weeks it should configure. It takes time... I don't know why, but it took me a while.
