Skype (or other voip soft): very bad sound quality

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.

vox problems with recieving calls and sms

hi all!
ever since i got my vox ive been experiencing problems like this.
it only happens sometime and its difficult to reproduce. but problem is as follow..
people send me sms's (sometimes quite alot) and on their phone it just say pending. then if they phone me or just give me a miss call i recieve all the smses at once. but sometimes even when they try to phone me it goes to voice mail. my phone always have full signal during all of this. most of the time im experiencing this problem is when im using my phone as a gprs modem for my pc. i need to know if i should take the phone back or what? but how can i proof ive got this problem? i even updated phone to latest radio and still got problem. any help or suggestions pse!

I am not sure but I think the sms thing happens with my device also, but I have no idea how that could be possible.
?

What Radio versions do you have? If older upgrade to 4.1.13.54_03.10.90

I was on version 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 for some time
but i found the earlier version to be more stable.
just a personal experience.
but i guess i'll give 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 a second shot.

thanx i found ur link on another thread some time ago and i upgraded my radio. but its been 2weeks now and no improvement. my previous radio was something like x.x.34_xx.xx.xx or so. but yes, i do however think that i get better signal. cos on old radio when phone was on my desk it was 90% signal acording to the signal icon on home screen. now its 100. another thing about vox is when u type with qwerty ur hand blocks the antenna weakning the signal. kinda stupid as in most phone manuals they say u shouldnt put ur hand over the antenna area while in call or sms. haha!
but pse any ideas r welcome! im gonna use my sim in another phone for a bit to see if problem is with my sim or phone

Damn.
I have the same problem, most boring one.
Time after time, the phone stops receiving phone calls (line busy if you are calling me, I cant call because the green button doesn't do anything if i press it after I type the number or choose the contact) and some other times SMS messages. I keep the Vox close to my speakers and they make the sound like when you are receiving call/sms (can't describe it, but i think you get me) but nothing happens. And after 2 hours people call me and complain why I didn't reply to their SMS...
If someone finds what is the problem and solution to it I will be thankfull to him/her untill my Vox is alive.
Many options with new ROMs are great thing. But if the SP doesn't do it primary duty (make & receive calls and SMS messages) it's worthless.
I have it tested with 3 ROMs and the problem apeared with every one and each of them.
The default one, don't know the version. The radio was earlier version than 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
Then I tryed 6.1 v1.0a of Dr. Gonzo.
And now I have for 3 days the 6.1 v1.1. At least once I noticed that problem with this, latest, version.

i dont think u got exactly the same problem. cos whenever im not receiving sms or calls for a while then when i make a call or send a sms all my msgs deliver to me at one time. so what im trying to say is that i am indeed able 2 make calls all the time. i think ur problem mite b caused by a 3rd party app on ur phone? btw i had my problem with original rom, guava rom, 6.1a and im downloading 6.1 v1.1 now. but i can tell u its gonna b the same. its not a rom based issue.

what radio version and rom are u using? any 3rd party apps that mite interfere with ur call button etc?
PLEASE people lets all give our radio version and rom versions etc so we can pinpoint this problem. it seems that quite a few people are actually experiencing this problem and they dont even realise it.
it does seem that the vox gets in a type of a bottleneck with sms and calls. all ur smses gets jammed and then as soon as i send a sms it blasts open the jam and lets my sms's thru. no point in talking to service provider customer care as they are all idiots

My radio version is : 4.1.13.54_03.10.90
My rom version is Wm6.1 v1.1 : 5.2.19195 (build 19202.1.0.0)
I have just R66mobile7, but i don't think it interfere with my call button

Same problem for me even with the last version of the radio...
I had the same problem with the original rom after installing native voip but no problem with hard reboot without installing native voip on the original rom.
On this morning, I made a hard reboot and didn't install my voip settings only to see...
I will let u know if there are some changes...

I have some problem. Hard reset one day ago .. and till now everything work well.

Did you install your voip settings when you encoutered the problems ?

no route 66 wont interfere. i was thinking more along the lines of smart toolkit etc. it does seem like u got same problem. im read on another thread that the arabic version radio mite be better. so go check on the vox wiki and test the arabic radio. its the second newest version. im gonna try it 2. wil let u know

i never used voip before. but i do however notice if i use my phone as a gprs modem for an hour or so, then i usually send a sms to my gd and all her smses deliver at the same time. now, seeing as voip uses the gprs connection 2. it does seem that the problem is related to gprs being used. my guess is that it has to do with the fact that when u are using ur gprs and someone phones or sms u thru gsm connection ur gprs is supposed to cut out, a gsm connection gets esstablished, and when the connection terminates, ur gprs connection re connects again. now we need to find out if this happens with other devices using voip. and please test it with ur devices also. (while connected with gprs and using voip see if sms deliver to u)

i will test with the arabic radio, and my voip setting.
result tomorrow.

i just u.dated to 6.1 v1.1 and installed the arabic radio. everything seems to b working fine. ill let u know as soon as i experience my first problem

nope! no luck. i just disconnected from my internet sharing app. i send a sms, and 3 smses delivered to me that should have came thru 30mins ago! damn. gonna try another radio now. if this doesnt work i tried all the radio versions on the wiki. and i honestly dont know how to fix the problem.
anyone know what the difference is between chap and pap authentication in gprs settings? and in csd line type settings.. should it b transparent or not transparent. any one can tell me the difference and if this could probably make a difference?
lastly, can i ask if anyone that is certain they not experiencing this problem can maybe tell me what their csd line settings are?

after hard reset i installed myvoipsetting too ... still work perfect.
i think prob is solved with simply hard reset

ok im happy for u! i did hard reset but still had problem. pse let me know once u experience this problem again. in the meantime i changed my csd line type to transparent. no problems so far... i guess i was thinking that transparent wouldnt block as much sms and calls as non transparent! hehe! will let u know. pse will u check ur csd line settings 2? its under start/settings/csd line type/connection element

Fring screwed up wifi

I just tried installing fring on a factory unlocked Vox and apart from the minor annoyances of it hijacking the home screen and dumping itself in the startup folder there was one big problem -- fring killed my wifi connection!
Fring could not enable wifi itself, so I tried enabling it through comm manager but the wifi connection just vanished after a few seconds and all my wlan settings disappeared. In addition, the wifi plugin status on the homescreen disappeared. I had to uninstall fring and do a soft reset to get it working again.
Anyone else have this problem or know what might be going on?

Same thing happened to me... I could not get the wifi to work again. had to uninstall fring and that was the only way it would work again.

Good to know I'm not alone. Anyone know what went wrong? There seem to be some happy fring-using Vox owners out from what I've read. FYI, my problems were with the Jan-08 ROM.

I use fring on my vox with no problems at all.
which rom exactly are you using? HTC or cooked?

I just have the standard HTC ROM... 1.34.405.1

bluetooth car hands free not working

I posted a couple of days ago but didnt really explain properly so starting again.
I have a touch pro, with romeos2 rom installed. I have tried the 1.51 and 1.60.1 builds.
the device pairs find, picks up phonebook etc fine. but i cant dial from the headunit. its driving me insane. I havent tried with other roms apart from romeos2.
Sometimes it will dial but only if you dial on the headunit then turn phone off and on. it seemed to work slightly better with romeos1.51 but still useless.
Does anyone have any ideas? meh... getting annoyed with this
p.s. i tried my friends touch HD and works perfectly, 100%. he has windows build 20757

UPDATE: incase anyone else is having issues
Monx (romeos2 legend) has asvised to try installing the BTSAP profile when using his rom. I havent tested yet but will try tonight.
What i did find is that I tried the windows build my friend had and that didnt help, issue was the same. I tried another radio 1.02.25.31, same problem only worse. then tried flashing RRE 3.1 fuze rom and at the same time 1.08.25.20M1 radio. Now the phone works in the car, responds to headunit dial requests.
New problem is that it doesnt download phonebook to the headunit.
will keep posted on progress if anyone is having this problem

same here, im running Romeos 1.5x final touch pro rom on my fuze.
paired fine, cant make phone call, the car shows no connection
i tried install BTSAP, BTSAP, BTBPP, doesnt work...
please help, i really like romeos rom

Its working!!! i reflashed romeos 1.60.2 and installed the btsap profile and its working.
I dont think its the btsap that did it as from what i gather the btsap is to access the sim card of your phone to use it remotely in another phone devide in a car stereo and i dont have that.
I think the think that fixed it was flashin the australia radio 1.08.25.20M1.
It responded instantly to dial requests and pairs fine!

Try flashing the australia 1.08.25.20M1 Raphael radio and see if that works.
Also have you tried Jetware handsfree extensions? Some head units need this to work properly, and i think pioneer has issues if its not used.

1.08.25.20M1 ? I've been using this radio since they first posted it here.
so i dont think its the radio thats blocking it
any other suggestion?
btw i have a kenwood navigation with bluetooth add-on. works fine with my tilt and all the other phones.
thanks in advance...

well after all that, i hard resetted my device again to setup up from scratch, tested with new radio and it didnt work.
Sooo... installed the BTSAP profile and working fine so looks like that was the cause of my problems all along

thanks for testing that for us...
i installed BTSAP in my fuze still no luck...hopefully more people will come in and share with us how their setup works

well after all that mine isnt actually working properly arrrrrrgh
I just did few tests as have been messing with phone at work then quickly testing on breaks. anyway basically if the phone is on it seems to work fine and connects/dials calls perfectly since installing btsap....
however.... if the phone goes in to standby for a length of time it doesnt wake up when i try and dial from the headunit. If it then turn the phone on again it will start dialing.
This is totally 100% doing my head in as just spend bloody 90 quid on the bluetooth thing for my car
Anyone got any ideas why it wont wake up when dialing from bluetooth handsfree? The dial command obviously got to the phone as it starts dialling when you take it out of standby.
HELP! lol

Glad to see I am not alone in this. What a pain! Can someone tell me where to download the BTSAP cab? I will try that and jetware to see if it helps. I have a Kenwood head unit that also allows for SMS via the head unit but it doesn't work with my Fuze. Anyone else have that feature working?
Thanks

HTC Touch Pro loudspeaker problem

Hey friends ;]
have a problem, just bought my first smart phone and it was TP1, phone is new, newer used. Found some problems with loudspeaker, when i'm using it when talking with friend by phone(gsm conn) after about 3-5minutes(phone goes hotter) and starts that from loudspeaker there is no sound, but when i push icon to turn on earspeaker and then back to loudspeaker the sounds backs but for a while to loudspeaker(there is no problem i think with earspeaker), so in this case i can't hear normally, because after 3min the sound from loudspeaker crashes.
The same problem appears when i'm using wifi and youtube app to watch some videos from the web, after couple of minutes the sound starts crashing, and i can return sound only when I try to stop video for a few seconds and then turn play button again.
Playing video and music from the phone memory doesnt occur this kind of problem.
Also some times observe that keyboard doesnt work, after slide out, but dont know is this reffered to this problem, maybe it's normal
Tried to flash roms, arrived with german vodafone original, then htc WWE(quite similar to german), and now using vodafone UK original rom
5.10.161.1 1.14.25.05 52.63.25.34U
but problem stil exist.
Please give me some advice! p.s. sorry for my english..

Probably hardware if you have flashed other ROMs & issue still exists.
What HardSPL are you using ? you could try the ROM in my signature & the radio version & if issue persists try getting a replacement unit if possible.

Thanks for you reply!
I have used HardSPL:
RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_1_90_3
A couple hours ago i tried to downgrade rom from new one
5.10.161.1
1.14.25.05
52.63.25.34U UK vodafone WWE
to old one
1.90.707.4
with leving rom radio and protocol
1.14.25.05
52.63.25.34U from UK vodafone WWE
and after hour of trying to watch broadcast and talking, problem not appear. So i don't know is that fixed my phone, but now it looks like it does, but i will test it more in the future.
One more question, when talking and using loudspeaker, there should be the sound of GSM signal comes through speaker? The simple Gsm phone with loudspeaker don't have so obvious sound of that.
