[P3600 General] alexsenxt:
The text found below was sent to Skype by me today

Dear Skype,

#1 please sent me a list of supported Pocket PC’s that work with skype and with a Bluetooth A2dp Headset.

The one I have now can be found at: http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT8040.aspx and I works really well for windows media mobile.

#2 I currently have the following device which does not work with Skype for the Pocket PC with an A2dp headset. I am very upset about this; I really want to use your skype out service, but cant.

My Device Information: Unlocked

HTC P3600, Trinity

ROM version:	1.23.405.2

ROM date:	03/11/07

Radio Version	1.38.00.11

Protocol Version:	32.71.7020.12h

ExtROM Version:	1.23.405.103

I have installed the following versions of Skype for PPC

SkypeForPocketPC-2.0.0.51-LowCPU.cab

SkypeForPocketPC-2.0.0.51-LowCPU.cab

SkypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.18-Beta.cab

kypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.20-Beta.exe

SkypeForPocketPCNew.CAB

The only one that works is the SkypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.18-Beta.cab it works perfectly for the HTC P3600, Trinity however, "only" when you use the corded headset that attaches to the mini usb on the phone, or just the speaker that is on the back of the phone the “external speaker”.

the SkypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.18-Beta.cab, I feel, does not work with any A2DP Bluetooth headset.

I have tried the following A2DP Bluetooth headsets

JabraBt8040

Link: same as above

Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Lubix UBHS-NC1 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

I think something goes wrong when the Bluetooth stack tries transfer the Skype audio to the Bluetooth headsets it gets all messed up with lots of echoes and sound disconnects and, latency and so on. However playing any multimedia files on the phone work perfectly through my A2DP Bluetooth headset.

Like a said SkypeForPocketPC-2.2.0.18-Beta.cab works perfectly only when you use the corded headset that attaches to the mini usb on the phone, or just the speaker that is on the back of the phone the “external speaker”.

I have also tried to use a whole bunch of 3rd party applications that redirected the sound to my older mono headsets. I tried three of them, and that did not work either. It’s something when the speaker sound gets transferd to

any

BT device.

(((((( Update I just used the the btaudio.zip that qyach posted: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=289720

it works but the mono sound is still not very good, nothing like a mobile phone call sound, and no ware near the sound quality with the corded headset that came with the HTC P3600 What to do,, anyone?

Im thinking of getting a ETEN X800 http://www.smart-mobile-gadgets.com/welcome/cart.php?target=product&product_id=1128&category_id=40

I read that It works well with Skype, and the sound is sent to the phones earpiece after installing a piece of software that ETEN developed called Skype Switch, therefore it should work with a BT headset.

But now some sales man who sounded like he know what he was talking about, said that the ETEN phones are flaky and that 70% of the ETEN phones that he sells get returned.

I don’t know what to do, but, dam it I want a WM5 or WM6 Phone that works perfect with Skype sound BT and all.

Now the only problem is how much better or worse is HTC V.S. ETEN? I really am looking for a cool looking phone something small and sleek that will work perfect with Skype mobile. The ETEN X800 looked like it was the solution. But now I don’t know what to do.

Someone please help.

Update: 02/16/08

I Just got an ETEN x800 and istalled the Skype Switch and took skype for a test run ,, ya,ya, the sound gets redirected to the earpiece,,, ya, but it sonds like sh_t also..

Someone out there has to be able to Hack this mess.
