Skype (or other voip soft): very bad sound quality - Touch Cruise General

Hello all!
Did you try skype on touch cruise?
I have a very bad sound quality.
I tried fring (see http://www.fring.com/), and it's the same problem.
And you?
THX!

Hi,
I use Skype, from time to time, on my Cruise and it sounds very good (of course trough headset). Not just for me, for my interlocutor too.
@+

What version ?

Make sure your Wi-Fi or 3G connection signal is strong enough.

THX for replies
I use Skype 2.2.0.37. (the last I think)
Very bad sound quality because the sound is cutted. Specially for my interlocutor, he doesn't ear me sometimes.
I can verify when I make test call, I ear the voice but my voice is very cutted. Almost no sound...
Jules Winnfield, what is your version please?
THX
edit: I use only wifi, and the signal is ok, I'm at home...

My version is 2.2.0.37 too.
I've tried 2 or 3 time and everything was OK.
I have very good Wifi signal (at home) and Adsl 5 Mb.
@+

Make sure there aren't too much other applications taking up RAM, as it may be for swapping reasons that your device clutters voice input.

I also have a bad sound qualitiy. 2.2.0.37 Skype Version and tried it over WLAN an USB/ActiveSync.
It's getting worse if I tip on the screen...
Will keep on testing

For me it's better now: uncheck "sound echo correction".
The sound is not perfect (as on my computer...) but it's possible to make a little conversation

If i have this setting checked, my microphone seems to be muted. Means i just can hear my opponent, but can't talk with him...
But the quality seems the same bad one.

I've called a friend in Russia and sound was very good for him.
For me, it could be better if it was louder.
But, this problem is not just with Skype. It's a French Rom particularity: sound level trough headset is too low
@+

I've changed the rom and the radio on my Polaris.
The sound is worse! not possible to understanding something...
No idee? Please, I go to China and Japan during 3 weeks in april, help me!!!
THX!

I'm just about to download and use skype on my TC, I already use skype in my PC but have a doubt about fring, could you tell me the differences between fring and skype?
Thanks

I have a clear connection using HSPDA when calling my brother in France from the US without a headset. I haven't tested over wifi yet. I am using the original oem WWE ROM with original radio and the current version of Skype available on the site with default options.
What ROM are those with issues using? What speeds do you get over your connection with a speed test?

Fring is a "facilitator" to use Skype and other providers. They claim to make the data more "portable" even on Edge connection

You can run speed tests from your mobile browser (Pocket IE or Opera). Try http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed or you may want to get a speed test located closer to you for more accurate results either use google or try one of these http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1. Note, the more "high tech" flash based tests won't work our our mobile browsers.
EDIT: I also notice that you are using the "Test" radio ROM, have you tried Skype with the original Radio ROM?

THX sonus, for your reply.
It was better with original radio I think... And I didn't know it's a "test" radio rom! Can I back to old radio? (1.58.25.13) ? I will test!
Edit: I've just change the radio, hard reset,etc...
Same bad result with skype. And I see I have not good result with Internet explorer... Maybe a pb with the bepe rom and wifi? (no pb with original rom...)

I use 3g VideoCall from Telme,it works fine on my TC except for the video right now (they say they will release a new version in march or april).
You can download it (from the download section) and use it for free (or with an account just like skype)after registering for free as a Free Member from here : http://web2.telme.sg/cedel/index.php?option=mod_joinus
With "Route 60" activated (as a distributor) u can even call for free to 60 countries on fixed phones (from which 6 countries on fixed AND MOBILES for free)
I call then free from mi 3gphone to fixed phones, to 3gphones and also even to computers having the correspondent software from Telme installed (Deskcall NG)
I tried fring with voipstunt and voipbuster, I could not find my Voip contactlist and was not convinced so I uninstalled it.

i installed skype a couple of days ago and when trying the test service my sound was realy bad if it was sound at all. but when i called a real call the sound was good when i used the handsfree and when i had it against my ear. but was echo when i had it infront of me. so try a real contact and not the test conntact that follows skype.

VoIP an wizard speakerproblem

In many threads ther is mentioned that some wizard users have problem to get VoIP running through teh phone speaker. So they have it through stereospeaker and the partner will get bad echos while speaking. So I started this thread to probably solve the problem.
1. there was an idee that it is an rom problem that maybe been solved by flashing original orwell --> I did and it didn´t work either.
2. somebody think it might be an hardware problem, that "old" wizard built before week 6 2006 do not support voip through internal speaker. --> this might be, because it fits to the posting in an other thread
3. it might be an registry thing:
But who can find these settings???
Or is it an dll problem?
Everyone who wants to answer should please psot the "wizard-age" the rom and what ever might be usefull to solve the problem for everyone.
Thanks
Hi
It's good to see that you haven't given up on solving this problem, sorry but I haven't come any closer to an answer.
Just for the record: To see when your Wizard was made, check the serial number.
Mine says S/N xx604xxxxxxx, the first number shows the year, the two next the week.
mine is from wekk 44 year 2005 - and I also didn´t came further
My wizard is week 9 2006 and I still have the speakerphone problem. I have tried both mUn and MB ROMs.

Just wanted to mention I've tried Radio ROM 2.19, 2.25, 2.47 and 2.69 - it didn't solve the problem.
One question to you, papamopps, does the Xplore 1.1 ROM have elatepushservice.exe (java for running WiFi in standby mode), so that you have have the WiFi task bar icon (with BatteryStatus Today-Plugin)?

The elatepushservice.exe is in windowsfolder. But I don´t know if it is running the way you want. But just pm anichillus - he will know it.
No body can help us?
Faria mentioned this:
There is a possibility but then we will loose bluetooth function.
Please - nobody knows an answer?
I am also having the problem. My serial shows week 12 of 06.
Mine is 06 42nd Week and I don't seem to have a problem.
Anyone come up with anything on this issue. I'd hate to see this thread die.
No nothing. Faria mentined that there would be a soulution but we would loose bluetooht support. Don´t know what that means but he never answerd again.
Sorry.
Hmmm...
Loosing bluetooth for voip wouldnt be a huge issue since most of us will be connected via WiFi, and wifi is a rare thing when you are driving (main reason for headset).

But when you are loosing complete support for bluetooth?
Don´t know how it would be working. Will ask Faria again.
That would kind of suck to loose Bluetooth all together. Not only do I use a headset from time to time, but I also use a bluetooth gps receiver so then I would be out 2 devices.
Hi, i also have a wizard model and the sound keeps going through the stereospeaker... I would apreciate some help...
Wizard Model
WM6 Faria Kitchen
IPL/SPL 3.08
Radio 02.40.11
OS 5.2.318
There is still no solution?
This, to me, is a major show stopper for using voip on my phone
No one can help us? I got the problem, too...
Arrrrhhh
I posted on the VOIP forum when it started. Seems an age back now - and yes I have the same problem. Seems absurd that the s/w cant control where the sound goes.... but there you go.
I have tried some of these registration hacks, but no success Maybe you have more luck? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921918.aspx

ProblemS with my Tornado

Does any of you feel this? Once a while, I can see that the the network operator will change to "Searching" then "Home Network" and then back to my service provider's name. Sometime, it happens when I am receiving a call, and the call will be dropped and will be considered a missed call. The other party will think that my phone ran out of battery as they are directed to the voicemail.
I also have this problem, sometimes when I call out, the ringing tone that I hear is distorted, this is not the speaker problem as even with loudspeaker, the sound its the same, the tone pitch is high and distorted, even when the other party speaks, their voice are distorted and high pitch. It's like when you play a DVD movie with fast speed, the speech becomes "cartoon-ish"
The problem resolves only if I reboot my phone, does this got to do with my phone or the radio ROM?
Even after reflashing the phone with the same original firmware, the problem persist. Another friend of mine using the same phone which he bought together with me complained the same problem at times.
FYI, I am using Dopod 577w installed with AKU2 patch
ROM version : 2.0.11.0
Operator version : 2.5.39.2
Radio version : 4.1.13.15_02.29.01
i get this too
ive put it down to just crap radio rom on the stock aku2 update from vodafone
which one do you get, the line dropping or the distorted sound when calling ?
yea i thought it was just me having this crazy thing going on... the carrier changes to display "HOME SERVICE" the back to its name... tho i never experienced it the call dropping and stuff...
carrier changes just before a call or txt msg
doesnt drop though
Try radio 2.61.01. On my Qtek8310 I install this radio and have no such kind of problem like you have.
I've attached an older radio version. I am using this with rom version 2.0.9.0. The radio that came with that ROM didn't seem to work well (had similar problems to what you describe, and others), at least in the US with Cingular service. This radio, (1.14.00) seems to do quite well. I am trying to extract the radio ROM from the latest cingular 2125 ROM (2.0.13.0), but haven't had any luck.

Radio 1.14.00 - from ROM for what platform did you get it? Maybe it is NOT previous, but NEWER one
By the way - PLEASE, reload this file to other service! iFolder, slil, ets...
What about some of the latest radio ROMS? going backward doesnt seem right ot me
Any stable and good radio rom? What do you guys think about the Radio rom from QTEK -radio 2.61.01
and btw, what's the difference between Operator version and Radio version as in my first post?
Mirror to Radio 01.14.00: http://zlydengl.files-upload.com/217114/radio_01_14_00.rar.html
Works fine! But - still testing
Your link is null
zyldenGL--good question!! I have no idea what ROM it was from originally, but it works great.
karhoe--I tried the link that I posted, and it works.

recipient audio sounds like it's coming from space shuttle (fix on page 2)

I am having an issue where the person I call states that I sound like I'm calling them from the space shuttle. I had someone call me on a landline from my MDA and it actually does sound like a NASA shuttle call.
I've applied the registry edit for AUDIOGAIN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN0]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN1]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN2]
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:CC
The problem is present with handset, BT headset, and wired headset. Anything else I should be looking at? I'm on TMO USA, but I roam on AT&T and EinsteinPCS. Problem crosses all networks. The only thing I haven't tried yet is putting an AT&T sim in and see if it's still there. I don't really think that would be the problem since I can put my sim in my Nokia 6230 and it sounds fine.
Running mfrazzz's XM6r2a. Original TMO 2.26.10.2 has same result. Tried 2.19, 2.25 (TMO OEM), 2.40, 2.69 radios. 2.25 seems the best of them all for me. Signal sucks, but call quality is about the best.
Any direction would be appreciated!
yo
dude that's like an added bonus no? you can use that to your advantage say you've went into the space program
seriously though i've tried them all (i'm on ATT) and I stick to 2.25 here in the middle of the USA, I get full bars just about everywhere, i've no doubts that each radio rom has different traits with physical location as well.
Sorry, forgot to mention that when I do have full bars in major cities, the sound quality does not improve.
same problem with me... any ideas?

Can you elaborate a little more on "YOUR" situation. ROM version, radio version, what you have done...
Went back to original TMO 2.26.10.2 and problem disappears. Copied audiogain settings and went back to XM6r2a. Still no go. I am using the same radio, 2.25.11 as in the TMO 2.26.10.2.
Is there a thread about all the reg keys that deal with the phone/radio?
When I search on phone & radio, it brings up everything but what I'm looking for.
Moderators: Is there a way to have the system not search signatures? Many users have "Radio:" in their signature and it seems like it is pulling on that also. I have been searching each sub-forum individually and it seems like I'm getting at least 1000 hits per search. Also, I show posts, not threads. Thanks!

Same problem here. The most frustrating part is the audio on my end sounds fine and is intermittent on the recipients end. Friends tell me it's so bad I should throw out my cheap phone! I've tried 2.19, 2.25 and 2.69 with various 6.0 roms (XDA, TNT, Black Diamond and others) applied Cingular radio hacks and still have the problem. I had to send back the phone for an unrelated reason and it's the same with the replacement. It doesn't seem to be signal strength related and can come and go during a conversation. I don't think it happens with the stock rom but it's so painful to use I've only had it loaded for a few hours. Went back to 2.25 and applied the audiogain hacks above. Will let you know how it goes.
Problem solved... at least for me
Going through the registries of both TMO 2.26.10.2 and 5.2.318's, I found that the GSM codec is being replaced with MSG711. I'm assuming Microsoft's implementation of G.711, probably to support VOIP as well. Since I pulled VOIP when I customized mfrazzz's rom, it's not a concern for me.
I'm assuming that the people who aren't having problems are on a completely EDGE network, where I'm still on many GPRS towers. I don't think that directly has an implication; however, I'm sure providers have greater bandwidth going to towers that handle EDGE, thus the EDGE tower is less likely to go to full capacity, and can handle extra bandwidth.
GSM Codec: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-GSM+Codec
G.711 Codec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.711
Below are the reg fixes that helped me. I flashed TMO 2.26.10.2, then my modified mfrazzz, then applied the reg fixes. Echoing and Deathstar-spaceshuttle voice on the other end has disappeared, and I only had one bar with radio 2.25.11. Haven't tried other radio's yet, and not sure I will for a little while until I know this solved the problem.
Hope this helps!
Reg Fixes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\07]
"Hnd"=dword:0003EBC0
"Name"="ACM1:"
"Key"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\CODEC_GSM610"
"BusParent"=dword:00032400
"InterfaceType"=dword:00000000
"BusName"="BuiltInPhase1_0_43_0"

"Order"=dword:00000000
"Index"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="gsm610.acm"
"Prefix"="ACM"
looks like it work, i just chang the registry like you say and i think that works
im going to reflash the phone and see what the other people say
tks a lot
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
In the reg key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\07]
07 is the location under Active where it sits for "ME" after loading my modified mfrazzz and using radio 2.25.11 that's there from the TMO 2.26.10.2 original install. When I applied 2.69.11 for testing, it moved to 02. It moved the contents completely; however, if you apply the reg fix and it's not at 07, it won't solve your problem.
Good rule of thumb would be to check this registry entry manually to verify its location, make any adjustments if needed, then run the fix.

I used it a bit for chatting and also skype call. It works. But on some Wifi connection, it keeps breaking. This happen at home on secure connection and the reception is good. I tried on unsecure connections and it didn't break.
I dont have problem with installation or starting the fring with my TP. I've been using it for couple days. It works fine for me except some echo on the other side. By the way the sound always on speaker. I dont know why or how to change it to be like a normal phone. Maybe this is the cause of echo sound. But if i use headset with mic, the echo is gone.
Hi,
I would like to know for those that have Fring working, Are you using the original ROM? I am using the original Asian Rom. Thanks.
Original ROM :1.90.707.4 WWE (Asian)
ROM Date : 08/23/98
Radio : 1.02.25.19
Protocol version : 52.33.25.17W

[Q] Best experience to make microphone working with VOIP

Hi everyone,
While using VOIP other person can't here me. It seems to be due Microphone problem.
It is my first Android device and I have it since one Month so I am not sure what is the best option to fix the problem:
- Try Factory reset and hope it will help
- Buy BT Headset
- replace firmware with Kyrillos and use Voodoo Control
- send phone back and ask to fix it.
other suggestions?
Is it with just one application or all apps? If you used just one app, try some others and see if the problem persists
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
It's not your microphone that fail here, but it's rather a misconfiguration of your VOIP app. Try keyword NAT and STUN for your search.
A simple test would be to check with a real mobile call wether the mic is working or not.

I tried Skype, MobileVOIP, and couple of other VOIP clients. In all cases the other party can not hear me. The only thing that is working is sound test in Nimbuzz. If I start it and start other VOIP client in parallel then everything is working but the quality is poor. I guess Nimbuzz's voice test is switching on the Microphone or increase it's sensitivity somehow. It is a pity that Nimbuzz does not support my VOIP provider.

Thank you very much! It works! I installed 3CX App and entered STUN server of my VOIP Provider.
Unfortunately I still have problem. The outgoing audio quality is very poor. So other person can not understand me at all. Initially I though that it is due to connection. But this proble is stay several days and same with different SIP Clients. I found post saying that update to CyanogenMod solved this problem. As far as I know the best ROM for SG3 is Kyrillos. My question is: If I change my original ROM to Kyrillos will I be able to use Factory reset and return back to Original ROM without any problems? Somehow I did not find much about this on the net. It is may be due to the fact that nobody want to change back.
