Nimbuzz should have it as well, I think. And the tests which I read (androidpit dot de - German only) said that Fring is clearly inferior to Nimbuzz.
[Desire General] slaming:
another nimbuzz vote here
[Desire General] O and O:
Will try nimbuzz as fring is useless for me, it diesn't let you add contacts on the fly and I can't even make calls because the speaker shuts off!
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Let me know how you get on with Nimbuzz. I tried Fring and the call quality was poor, with a audio delay on top of it.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
Installed and tried Nimbuzz. Sound quality is better than on Fring.

BTW: anybody knows if and how you can delete a fring account?
[Desire General] entropy:
Traffic?

Does anyone have an idea about the amount of bandwidth/traffic skype uses? Like for one minute? I'm on a 200MB per month plan...
[Desire General] O and O:
I don't think you can even change your password on fring!

Can you send SMS with Nimbuzz or even add new Skype contacts?
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
yes u can add contacts for any IM account; skype, msn, etc
[Desire General] O and O:
GREAT! Sounds so much better then fring!
[Desire General] O and O:
Nimbuzz seems to give my Desire problems ... keeps going slow, random reboot, never happened before, uninstalled and all is fine ... also it never seemed to work anyway!
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
strange. work fine here even prior to the latest update.
[Desire General] badgerz:
Nimbuzz working perfectly for all things and Skype now. For some reason though it finds it quite hard to connect sometimes, especially on a low connection where Fring seems to work either way.

Quite annoying on Nimbuzz where if Skype (or any of the accounts) does not connect first time there is no option to retry just delete the account.
[Desire General] luzok:
Did you try Fring?
[Desire General] SammyBoyWonder:
I noticed that too. also noticed my battery was draining alot quicker than usual - even after exiting the application.

And sometimes even when the app isnt running, I get an error message saying it's crashed and needs to be closed. This happens mainly when ever i turn wifi on/off.
[Desire General] ragmanchu:
anyone know an app that does group chat on skype?

[Desire General] O and O:
I don't use wi-fi but had generally the same issues. It brought my phone in some cases to a halt!
[Desire General] gogol:
Is there any "Skype" app or other app that can be used to use Skype account for calling non-skype landlines / mobile phones ?

Paid calls using Skype credits ... via Android.

I tried Nimbuzz, but it cant ... yes, Nimbuzz is not Skype client, this is obvious.

My only hope is "NimbuzzOut":

http://www.nimbuzz.com/en/nimbuzzout

But then again, there is no Android client still :(
[Desire General] patasenko:
Yes, Fring on Android can use Skypeout, so skype credits or any other SIP like voicebuster.

Haven't personally checked it but a friend tried it already and it works
[Desire General] gogol:
You are correct, Fring can use SkypeOut. I just tried it.

But the call quality is very bad, I am using WiFi btw.
[Desire General] patasenko:
could you also try with handsfree set, it might improve quality actually, as there would be no echo
[Desire General] itsamac:
I use a Skype in-country plan for £2 a month which provides you access to a local calling card number in a few countries using your Skype credit. It provides a bunch of other features as well like a local overseas number for my family to use.

That being said, I prefer Nimbuzz to Fringe. It's a shame as Fringe has been around for a while and it sounds like nothing has changed in terms of CoUP quality.

[Desire General] :
You can use Skype credit on Nimbuzz, tried it.
[Desire General] gogol:
How? I dont see any dialer there ...
[Desire General] :
oh yes there is no dialer. I just have numbers stored in my skype account. When I tested I called one of those.
[Desire General] gogol:
I also created some contact numbers in my Skype account, but I cannot see it in Nimbuzz ...
[Desire General] gogol:
I think Nimbuzz Skype is very buggy ... It cannot update / refresh Skype contacts :(

I tried installing re-installing ... no joy :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
I was wondering if it was possible to cook something up so that the N1 will speak the current time when the up or down volume buttons are pressed from sleep mode?

Any takers?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
Not Exactly, but close:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.norbsoft.android.talking15

^ That speaks the time in regular intervals or when you tap the screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] markouk:
Hmm, I'll take a look at that one.

Doesn't get great reviews.
[HD2 General] nilsk123:
Hey,

I listen to music via a logitech bluetooth stereo almost all the time. I've noticed that when I have a wifi connection active, the phone realy seems to struggle staying up to speed. When I just listen to music is fine. When I play a youtube video for example, the sound will start stuttering from time to time, which is quite annoying.

Also, when wifi is active and I scroll through a list of text messages or any other list, audio stuttering will occur. Realy annoying. Wifi shouldnt be so hard for a phone like this? anyone else noticed it?
[HD2 General] nilsk123:
can anyone confirm this?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the only obvious wifi lag that i have seen is when you wake from sleep, and the home page tries to draw the weather animation and reconnect to wifi at teh same time. Sorry, not much help.
[HD2 General] nilsk123:
hmm do you think it could be usefull to try different radio's?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I'm in agreement with Samsamuel.

Try switching the homepage background to an animated one (rather than the weather one) and see if it does the same.

[Desire General] Cleargrey:
I was just trying to get some contact info sent to me via email out of my Gmail app and into the phonebook. First I remembered that there's no copy and paste. Next I found out that when you go to add a contact, hold your hand on home, switch directly to Gmail, get the details and switch directly back, the Add Contact screen is no longer there.

No quite as multitasking as I would have liked.

Anyone know either a good email app or a straightforward way to get information sent to me in an email?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GuestK0065:
Hai guys,

I've been playing around with JoshKoss' (great work on the ROM dude :P) WM 6.5 ROM but it eats up too much RAM and is kinda slow for my taste. Plus the limitations of the new start menu put me off too much from it.

So I was wondering which is the best Windows ROM around for this device, preferably one that has WPA/WPA2 support :P (also if I would support videocall that would be really nice xD)

Thanks in advance,

K.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] killster3:
I want to know too!

i got a 8525 to give away and it had a "custom" rom on it but turns out that rom sucks bad and doesnt even have Calculator or office or ring tones or ability to even change the ring tone to a mp3 or solitare hehe which should i use? i really dont see anyone answering us but worth a shot right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] GuestK0065:
For now use Joshkoss' LITE 6.5 ROM, works fine for what I want for now, and it's not as slow as the FULL rom: LINKY

hope it works for you bro
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Rencx:
I like DarkVisions 5.0 Final. It's based on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional but different than moust ROMs on XDA.

The best ROM for TyTn plenty of free RAM and an amazing speed.

Also there is another 7 ROMs versions but i like the best Final.

You can flash all and take one you like the best. Use Search write DarkVisions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] slaki85:
My advice: Upgrade Shamanix Grass 2.2 Lite rom.He have 31 MB free ram after boot.Very fast,start menu in Windows 6.1 is much better than 6.5.Also Win 6.1 is much more responsive and much faster.You can find test here with 52 roms.If you like stable and fast rom use Grass 2.2.He dont have `cool stuffs`,stupid addons and dont have stuff like Manilla...If you really like cool today screen install some SPB on 6.1... Windows 6.5 dont have nothing new.Only stupid start menu.or Marketplace ? pffff....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] slaki85:
And yes Grass 2.2 have 3G Video Dialer.I tested,work very good...Ofcourse have and wpa... Test it !!! If you find faster rom,pls share with us : )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] macelius:
Personally 6.1 with all the 6.5 finger friendly menus etc. implemented for the best of both worlds, Ive seen most of it on alot of roms but never together, and some stuff like contact list/message list finger scrolling I have not seen so not sure it can be done, You can always run other apps for the purpose on top in stead tho. Manila on 6.1 was good, ok on 6.5 too but short on ram yeah. Start playing with ROMs and identify what you don't care, or can't live without, I'm just getting a clear picture out of all that is available myself. That's the nice thing about wm you can run anything :), in stead of the millions that can only run one interface. lots of 6.1/6.5 hybrid choices, I liked Josh's or TAIs and many others out there, for 6.5 QuePC and MrDSL both did a great job especially since I like manila which i guess is a ram hog ;p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] keca:
I would say Shamanix Grass 2.2 Lite rom is the fastest and the most clean rom out there + no extra addons. After you have updated search for crc cab files or schaps cab files to install addons you want - eg htc home screen or whatever. /Keca
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yeballer:
I personally use TAI's lite; it's got the latest built of Windows (28236) and it's really light so that you can load any device-memory only applications such as SPB Mobile Shell that you can think of.

Video calls are not possible, if you got it from an American carrier, i.e. AT&T, because they remove the front video camera.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] xjuk:
Can anybody suggest a light clean stable 6.5 rom with only tweeks/fixes but without fancy stuff?

Tried shamanix and CRC's roms (6-6.1), they are great, not bloated and fast. I'm only using hermes for reading/music/calls, I don't want to get OOM after opening a pdf along with core player.

So far I tried TAI's light (latest) but it had some 'link not found' errors, low on RAM and task manager app (forgot the name) which I can't uninstall is buggy and ram hungry. So the rom is not-so-light

[Touch CDMA Android Development] tsrich:
Hi,

I've recently rooted my phone and moved from WM to Myn's Donut NAND build. I like it a like except for a couple things. The most annoying is that my phone reboots every time it enters sleep mode, either from timing out or from me sending it into sleep manually.

I've reflashed the ROM a number of times with different builds, and even some of the other ROMs. Same problem.

I tried flashing back to one of the custom WM builds and that was even worse, it rebooted soon after coming up to the WM desktop. I never had problems prior to unlocking and doing the initial ROM flash.

It seems odd that I would have picked up a hardware problem right as I did the unlock and first ROM flash. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
what unlocker did you use?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tsrich:
I have the 2.31 CoKE HardSPL unlocker that is referenced in the how-to guides such as the paragraph below. Think something is wrong with the install?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
I know that there are vogues that are different than others. That may be the case with yours. Some don't work right with android, some do. I'm not sure if it's something with the unlockr or slightly different hardware. For example, my wifes vogue is a funny one;

I can't flash a new nbh from the SDcard. I have to use the htc flash app, also for a long time she couldn't update her build because the kernel was incompatible. However now, the most recent kernels are fine.

Since unlocking some of the 6.5 builds won't work, they would randomly hard reset. but the 6.1 builds were perfectly fine..
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
I had that problem where it would reboot on sleep, even in windows mobile, i figured out that it was the unlocker, so i relocked it, then unlocked it again with .31 and that fixed it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
I've already unlocked my Sprint Vogue.

Can you please provide URL for "relocking"?

Will need it in the event that it needs servicing.

Thank you...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
just use the unlocker v.40 then flash stock rom, then unlock again with the .31

as for the url, just google vogue unlocker .40
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tsrich:
How did you install the .40 unlocker? It uses activesync to connect to the Vogue. Did you have a WM ROM installed first?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
flash it via sdcard or through bootloader
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tsrich:
Maybe I'm doing it wrong then.

I opened up the vogue_unlocker.exe and extracted all the files to a dir. I changed into that dir and copied the VOGUIMG.NBH file to RUU_signed.nbh. I've had to do that for other ROMs, so I did it just to be safe. I then put the phone in bootloader mode, and connected it via USB. Then I ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from that dir.

It wanted to update from image ver ' <blanks>' to image ver ' 1.00.000.0'

It runs through the install, but doesn't seem to update the ROM. The bootloader still shows SPL-0.41.CoKE
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tsrich:
I ended up flashing to a custom WM ROM, which let me establish an Activesync connection, so then I could run the full .40 install from windows, which worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Digital Outcast:
Does anyone know where to change the font sizes and menu heights for generic menus? I've changed them for the Manila (Sense) menus but that doesn't affect the rest of the Windows menus. See the screenshots for a better understanding.

You can see that the menus in Outlook E-mail are larger than on the main Home screen.

Edit: Let me preface this by saying I'm on NRG's latest ROM from 04/06/2010 with Cookie's Home tab.
[Desire General] throup:
I use my personal email address as my Google ID. I have absolutely need for a gmail account, but I do use contacts, bookmarks and other services.

I have tried to sync my Desire to my Google accounts, but it tells me "does not use Google Mail" and won't let me proceed until I sign up for a googlemail address.

Is there any way round this without signing up for an email address I will never use?
[Desire General] O and O:
Google Apps?
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
but even a google apps domain should work absolutely fine...or at least they always used to..

of course, if you have literaly signed into igoogle with your own email address and do not actually have a googlemail account, be that normal or google apps domain, then yes, you would need to sign up for one. that's just how it works.
[Desire General] throup:
Thanks for the quick replies.

I do literally sign into Google with my own email address and it works fine for all of the web-based services I ever use. But if I have to, I will setup an inbox which will never be used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bowserb:
I just came across this in the Tilt2 Marketplace. $30 one time charge for a GPS navigator sounds a lot better than $10 per month to AT&T for their navigator, especially when I already have a Garmin Nuvi.

Anyone tried this program? I notice that it appears more expensive on the NDrive website than on the phone's Marketplace--60Euros vs 30 USD--so I don't know what the story is there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] hegazy1970:

With the tutorial "Rebuild Treo Pro pt-BR ROM Released" (in this section) remake the flashable firmware ignoring point 5/6/7/8 (because you already have the raw dump). Remember that italian use 0410 as number and not 0416.

But if you have problem to make it tell me and i upload the file ready to be flashed :P

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] okocharuud:
Iv been reading through some of the posts on the forum regarding volume overlays being affected by installing new taskbars as i am having the same problem. In core player, WMplayer etc whenever the usual green volume overlay would appear for volume i am instead getting a black vertical block on the left hand side of the screen, no volume indication at all.

I have installed the default HTC Leo volume control but this gets rid of the speaker icon in the Taskbar i have installed and its a very basic looking volume adjustment which also overrides the HD2's main volume control aswell, so uninstalled this.

Was wondering if there is any kind of update or a file in a cab that would remedy this issue?, its not the end of the world as the volume adjustment still works but theres just no indication. Although having an actual volume overlay looks much nicer than a black box =P.

If anyone could help would be much appreciated

Also forgot to mention I did try to install a cab from a post I read where somebody had included all files that was supposed to fix this issue but after install and soft reset it didnt change a thing. I have the gfreek G_Brains WM6.5 taskbar installed on my HD2 with Co0kie's Home Tab and the Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch... if this helps at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nniicckkss:
Same with me, on 1.66 standard ROM (UK).

I don't think this really is fixed on many of the taskbars.

I'm using the one attached below at the moment, has the old style black volume control though, and I would prefer the proper green slide one.

DJC seems to work OK too (do a search), and with the proper green slide volume control, but the voicemail icon isn't included and it's the standard white windows one amongst the nicer looking DJC graphics icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] okocharuud:
i was using the DJC one before but got this one becuase i was having some problems with a few of the icons not working. Posted this really to see if anyone had any idea of how to get this to work with ANY taskbar that was installed because i noticed quite a lot of people having same problems with numerous different taskbar installations. Like i said its not that big of a deal but would be nice to have the volume overlay that i had when i first got the phone (without having to uninstall my awesome new taskbar) =].

Thanx anyway

Hello,

I've been around on XDA for quite a few years, and i wouldnt have been this crazy about phones if it weren't for you guys.

I'm not sure, but I might be able to do something back. I'm receiving my Desire tomorrow, maybe somebody needs something from it? Maybe a dump or whatever, i'd be willing to help (just need some instructions on how to do that).

Let me know :)
