Skype over Bluetooth for WM6

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..

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.

Tilt2 Bluetooth Headset List

Hello,
I've had my Tilt2 for 2 months now and am ready to get a headset. After many searches I can't find a definitive list of headsets that are working/ not working correctly.
I'm using a stock ROM and have the Tilt2 2 tweaked to 43% memory usage on boot-up. The phone is fast and everything works correctly. Also using SPB mobile Shell.
Has anyone tied in the Bluetooth 2.1 vs 2.0 headsets with correct operation? I want the voice command, audio passthrough, and buttons to work correctly.
Maybe we can start a list of Phone - ROM version - Headset - Whats working/not working.
I'm mainly concerned with the stock ROM but any info may assist others.
Thanks
Jim O

Well, I have the Jawbone Prime & Motorola HX-1 and both work fine.

Motorola H710 works fine as well.

Thanks for the info. Does the voice command work for making calls and you can also hear music files and audio from websites?
Thanks Jim O

Surely more folks can contribute to a good list. Lets get some more response going. This could be of great benefit to one and all.
Thanks!!!!!

Samsung WEP 850 with voice command works just fine.

The Sony DRBT100CX stereo bluetooth earbuds also work very well with the Tilt 2. All A2DP/AVRC audio and handsfree calling functions are supported. Nice bargain at $50 as well.

Yes, but...
... has anyone found a BT headset that announces the incoming caller ID over it instead of the phone's speaker?
I've tried a couple of older as well as one new BT headset. All pair and work flawlessly with my Tilt 2, but none of them will announce the incoming caller ID over the headset as it did with my original Tilt.
Yeh, I'm pretty sure this was a screwup in the Widcomm BT stack but just want to make sure. FYI, HTC tech support states that none of their phones do this! When I asked 'em why the old Tilts did, I didn't get any more response.

Well, I picked up a new Motorola H17 12/30/09. Everything works as advertised, except the incoming caller announcement (on phone announcement only). This headset was released only a couple months ago with the latest Bluetooth 2.1 and all the other amenities so this problem does seem to be a problem with the stack.
On a side note, this headset works great. Get ALL phone sounds transferred and also volume control on both the phone and headset. Works great with streaming video/audio. And it is loud, usually have it set to mid volume. Also, I bought it from an AT&T store ($80) and he stated that if anything goes wrong with it for 1 year just bring it in and he will replacement.

I have the Jabra HALO and works wonderfully well with my TP2, running Win6.5

The manager @ my local AT&T store has a Tilt 2 using a Blue Ant Q1 bluetooth & he says that his BT does all these things. I just ordered one so I will let you know when I get it. FYI he was using a Jawbone prior to the Q1.

I got my Blue Ant Q1 and it does announce the incoming calls over the blue tooth & your text messages, e-mail, reminders, your music- I like it. If you turn "announce incoming call off" in voice command it will not announce them over the speaker on the phone. I bought mine off e-bay for $48.99.

Mi6 bluetooth problems

Each time I use Mi6 via bluetooth in car to answer/make calls - first call goes OK, and all others not - people I talk to don't hear me. It happena in 4 different cars so it's not car's problem. Mi5 was OK. I run 7.1.1 NMF26X global beta. miui 8 7.6.8 global beta. And can't solve it myself. Tried deleting and re-adding cars, restarted phone - nothing helped. When I switch to phone during call - it's OK. As soon as I switch back to car - same problem. No one hears me and I hear everyone.

Any1?

I'm sorry but I can't test because I don't have any Bluetooth devices.

Not using any bluetooth device either.

Hello there

Thank you

Ok, one by one.
1. My phone does not see andriod wear app on my smart clock with bluetooth --> My watch works, did you unpair your watch with old phone first? Android wear watch can only connect to 1 phone.
2. There's personal hotspot, you can see it in the settings menu.
3. GPS needs time to find your phone, you need to have wifi (or mobile data connection to assist the phone), if it located your phone, next time GPS will work faster.

It is a different issue with me: when paired with a BT device with the "phone audio" profile enabled, despite picking up the call on via pressing the green button on the touchscreen, it still defaults to the BT device (and I have to switch audio back to "phone" before the other person cuts off after hearing nothing). This is on the global ROM 8.2.2.0...
The global ROM seems buggy as hell...

Hello Friend.
The same happens to me.
It connects to bluetooth but I have no output or audio input.
Did you get it fixed?
Thank you

Everyone.
This is not xiaomi's problem.
This problem is due to oreo's new bluetooth stack.
There is no current solution to this. I've searched far, wide and deep.
Android has a great track record in keeping the bluetooth stack broken.
If you try to search google, you will find out that not only xiaomi phones have this problem.
The only theoretical solution is to port old bluetooth blobs, and somehow make it work. But as far as i know, no one has done this before.
There is hope that android pie will fix this. But from what i read, early builds of pie still has this problem.

Mi Max 3 Users Please Help With a Check - Bluetooth Mic not working in WhatsApp Calls

Hi Mi Max 3 Users,
Would someone be kind enough to check and confirm if you can use your bluetooth headsets with microphones on WhatsApp calls on the Mi Max 3 Phone.
I read a user's review that the microphone on your Bluetooth headset WILL NOT work (as in the user on the other end of the line will not hear you) when making WhatsApp Calls on this phone. The user says the Bluetooth microphone and headset works normally and as it should when making regular phone calls but DOES NOT work with Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook and other messaging apps. User claims that handset was tested at a Xiaomi store and they said that this feature wasn't supported on the phone.
Is someone kind enough to confirm this please.
I intend to buy this phone rather than the Redmi Note 5 and the phone being able to support the use of Bluetooth headsets with microphone and the mic on them for WhatsApp calls is a crucial element in my decision process. Everything else seem ok (unless you guys have noticed other problems in daily use).
Thanks in advance for your help.

It works just fine. I'm on Eu rom 8.8.9 non ARB; using with and without Bluetooth (apple airpods) in whatsapp calls and video work flawlessly for me. I use it all the time even with Viper4android enabled and disabled.

Thanks. Placed an order for one and arriving soon.
Hope running a global rom gives no different a result to your experience.
