Guest scsi Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 If Skype for PPC infact works fine on the Smartphone platform, except for the "tap to loggin" thing, why dont Skype just release a verion for Smartphone without this? Do Skype know that the PPS version works fine? Perhaps they need to be made aware of this, and also reminded that there now are Smartphones (Tornado) with WiFi that were practically made for VoIP?

Guest LarsDK Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi Gomer, Will you please upload the extracted cab files here in a *.rar or *.zip-file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scsi Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just copy the exe file to your phone and run it. It seems to work ok for me, but none of my contacts were online, so I couldn't try to actually talk to someone. I can't get to any options, though. Do the default settings work for you, guys? Btw, I assumed that we are supposed to run the "low cpu" version, so that is the one I uploaded.skypeppc.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gomer Pyle Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 It is working fine with default settings :D When I tried it few week ago, I was surprised that it is quite same as on my PC, it quite clear and not too much echoes and interruptions 8) I can confirm, I also use the low cpu version LarsDK: looks someone already post the file ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LarsDK Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks for the file, I have now succesfully completed a call to the echo service. However I now have another problem, if I want to dial a number, I can dial the number but not initiate the call, what buttons on the 8310 do you press to begin a call to a regular phonenumber?

Guest LarsDK Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) except, that you only have to do it once and if you download the program you are allready at a computer... ;) besides the other program is really handy and have a lot of really nice features that you should check out in the trial..

Guest MitchellO Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 How I got Skype with the cursor to work was fairly simple. First, use explorer to delete the shortcut created by the modded skype install, and create a shortcut to the actual Skype program. The create a shortcut to cursor in your startmenu. Both shortcuts need to appear on the same screen, so put both in a folder called Skype. Run Cursor and then using the cursor click Skype. You can then use it!

Guest mattaylwin Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 hi! can i ask; how much does skype cost using orange gprs? i know the calls are free but the connection surely costs a bit doesnt it?! thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Skype doesn't work on GPRS. GPRS is too slow for that. You would need EDGE or some other fast connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kam_ Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) Actually SkyPE uses iLBC, so you need 2 GPRS slots to transmit one frame. However because GPRS is almost like token ring networks in some regards (think of it like 1 token per channel, and any host can posses more than 1 token), you are not guaranteed to be able to transmit in time to send or receive the next frame. If you were guaranteed to get 2 slots in time, in both directions then it would work. EDGE will have similar problems for the same reason, although less pronounced because it doesnt require 2 slots to accomodate one voip frame. This is exactly why SkyPE is never sugested to work over GPRS, although some users say they have got it to work, and this just confuses the issue. On an uncongested network it might work, but in the average case it'll be very choppy if it works at all. Edited January 23, 2006 by kam_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyt Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Question for those of you that have Skype working :- Does the audio come out of the earpiece or speakerphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Question for those of you that have Skype working :- Does the audio come out of the earpiece or speakerphone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It comes out of the loud speaker unfortunately (on not depending on how you see it ;)). It would be great if it would come out of the earpiece speaker like when using the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LarsDK Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I am not able to test it with the headphones right now, but does it still send the audio to the speaker with the headphones inserted? And please somebody answer this: Is it possible to call using skype out and dial a number on the 8310 running this version of skype? I can dial the number, but I cant begin the call, cant find the green button... Edited January 23, 2006 by LarsDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lynxul Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hello I tried installing skype, it kept saying not enough memory space, before I could select the storage card as destination. Then I copied the skypeppc.exe (thank you) file on my spv c600. When I run it it locks in the EULA area. Any advice? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
