[Using Three Australia]

After installing it the first time round, I managed to successfully receive a call. I then forced kill the app to save battery but since then can't log back in and keep receiving the message "Error! You're already signed in on another mobile phone."

Is it normal for this to happen or have I done something silly to be stuck in the vicious cycle?
[Android Apps and Games] Elsiko88:
Installed on Desire (on 3 UK network)

Everything seems to work well :)

Thank you very much for this app !
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
for india please.. please.. please..
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
for india is not possible.

"three" network operators give the user the possibility to use skype up to 600 minutes for free. It is not a real voip, but they will call you back.

Airtel does not give you this service, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to make it work in India.

Understand?
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yeah.. But can't it work on wifi.. I should make call through wifi on other PCs. Not on cellphone or mobile number or land lines.
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspreg:
official

Skype is official: search for Skype on Appbrain ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
It does not support calls on wifi I think. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
this is because this is not a voip app.

Skype will call your mobile phone number and the destination number at the same time. Without a network agreement it would be useless and expensive.

nimbuzz does not work for you? It works very well for me

@andreaspreg: OFFICIAL SKYPE???? :eek:

Not only for verizon??? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!!!

http://www.appbrain.com/app/skype/com.skype.raider

edit: and works on 3g/wifi!!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yeah.. I used nimbuzz and fring.. But I don't like 'em.. I saw skype on symbian phones.. It's really a good application. So I am hopping for it on android to work with wifi. BTW why is such partiality skype team does with android. All the skype clients (symbian and others) have wifi support then why don't android have?

does the new skype version (link you have provided) support wifi calling? I am located in india.
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
yes, it works in wifi!!

awesome

i hope that it's in your market, maybe you should use market enabler to fake an european country
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yeah.. and some guys from europe can provide me apk file then that would be great full. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Can't you find it on the market yet?
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Hmm.. I didn't try it.. is it available in market for india?
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Don't know, but did you give it a try?
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yes.. only chat was working.. there wasn't any option for call.
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
REALLY?? I have the option for calling seems fine... I will try it later... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
hmm... I installed the skype lite version..
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
That's NOT the Skype I have on my market, the Skype lite is an old bad version...
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
damn.. then which version do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Dowloaded now from market: Skype version 1.0.0.538 (not lite)...
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yay.. thanks mate.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Did you find it? Is it working?
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Yeah.. awesome man.. thanks buddy.. I was using nimbuzz and fring previously.. but it sucks.. but this is awesome.. :)

by way i can't thank you all enough for all the great work you do

just the other day i was at a party a group of people were showing off their new android phones even a few that had been die hard mac fan boys have converted. the best part of all of it was my little Vouge was the talk of the all of them, "what phone is that?" and the way theirs eyes let up when i told them how it use to be a WM but now greatest little android hack ever. after that i started teaching them tricks about android they didn't know and even gave them all the best apps to check out.

i remember when my friends use to ask what is android

now they all think i some kind of know it all hacker but i gave xda all the credit and told them all to come check out the dev here

so thank you all again

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccabreu:
This is for those who are having problems connecting Desire with a Bluetooth Keyboard, in my case a Chinese mini Bluetooth keyboard (model PA-BK03- $ 27.00).

Things you need:

1)	Rooted Desire (in my case OpenDesire 1.3b)

2)	3 files (hidd, hcitool and hciconfig) from code google

3)	Recovery console (unrevoked for example)

4)	And a Bluetooth keyboard…

The basic principle is to copy these 3 files to /system/xbin and set the permissions to 755, and than, after you enable Bluetooth on the phone and on the device, run the follow command:

#hcitool scan

Scanning ...

DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 Bluetooth Mini Keyboard

Than

# hidd --connect DC:2C:26:B3:C6:46 (use your own MAC Address)

After it, you mini keyboard will stop blinking the blue led….TADA….is done!

I just cook the blu_sign.zip that contains the 3 files…you can use your recovery console apply it. And I recommend to use gscript lite to write the “hidd --connect” command and shortcut it in your home screen.

All the credits goes to…. Erin at i-miss-erin blogspot

And please I’m not a developer just curious and I hope that some noble developer make an fancy apk better than this.

Would it be possible to pair a BT mouse this way, too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimlad:
Hi that's very interesting, will this method help with connecting other bluetooth devices? ps3 controller perhaps... or the wii one which apparently wont work with htc sense..

hup Holland hup :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
The ps3 controller isn't a hid device, but afaik a wii nunchuck is.

They did get ps3 controllers working on PC though , so it might be possible.

That keyboard looks nice btw. If it had one of them weird nipple things that old laptops used as a mouse I'd deffinately invest in one.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackm0d:

Got a Nexus One here.

There is a major internal difference between the two and three battery keyboards, with many saying the three battery keyboard works better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffy:
Well that's good news for me as I have the 3 battery! :) But not had any luck yet. Tried on a rooted rom but got device not found on hciconfig. So running stock again for now.

Does anyone know if Froyo will make it any easier and is it impossible to run hidd un-rooted?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmeidl78:
I'm using the 3Battery Keyboard and I think it was 3.0 of the Setenza Froyo Rom or the Version before.

I think I've done it something like this:

You must flash the files via recovery and then search the keyboard via the orig. Bluetooh. It was found but doesn't pair. Then I've made the "terminal-thing" and while pairing the orig. BT asked for the key.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffy:
Just to update this for anyone having similar problems, it appears some users will have a problem using the hidd method or bluetooth keyboard drivers like "Bluekeyboard JP" because of the stock bluetooth implementation.

I don't know this for a fact but everything points to it. Hopefully running certain custom roms or a future stock rom update will fix bluetooth.

When i write in terminal:

Which ROM and terminal emulator are you using, if it is working for you?

I have bluetooth enabled and i HAVE paired keyboard with my phone... but always receiving that message :( I have the same keyboard as "ccabreu" in first post and on phone installed blue_sign.zip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:

Man, this is a no brainer... Read and follow all the passages.

Yea well i AINT so im working with a few dev to find out, You unhelpful lalalalal!!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatsu_1981:
You tried 'su' before asking for help, right? ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Im working with the "DEV'S" yes thats basic stuff, dont worry about it, the post was for more intelligent people to get on and help. as it only seems to work on Open desire so we are trying to figure out the diffrence in the bluetooth stack and or kernel changes
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatsu_1981:
I only told that "it does works on open desire" and "have you already tested with su".

You know, you never told "I am not on open desire, it does only works for open desire", so it could be read that "It's not working on open desire".

From that, my first reply.

If this is enough for you for insulting another person's intelligence, you don't deserve to be helped.

Oh and BTW, I actually AM a dev.

Not an android one (yet), but I compiled my first kernel a little less than a decade ago ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Lol, you insulted mine first, Have you tried "su" what you think im still in pre school.

And if you wrote English a little better I may have been able to understand you were not just taking the piss.

And you wrote "I AM using Open Desire, and I AM using my Palm Keyboard.

Man, this is a no brainer" which implied I was a complete **** in doing it wrong, when in fact im trying to get this sorted for ALL users not just the users on OPENDESIRE.

I mean whats the point in limiting it to one ROM ???

And you been making kernels for ten years, but cant figure out the diffrence between me saying it not working for me either - replying to someone else, and im on open desire and its not working.

Whatever man you need to chill the **** out Gatsu..........
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biffy:
Right, lets get back on topic please guys...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
True,

ok sorry biffy, and sorry Gatsu :P

Hope its alright to use this thread to work out a solution for ALL of us ?

If thats cool , then well cool.

If not ill make a new one, but dont really see the point in two of virtually the same thing.

And Gastu, i'de rather have you helping on this then arguing between ourselves, hence why i appoligised.

So Thought one, i told IEF earlier that on the Opendesire rom and say the rom im on now (mcr 3.1) their is an extra file in the opendesire rom called fw_bcm4329_aspta.bin. Their are also two the other two files bcm4329 and f_bcm4329.bin which have increased in size. The bcm4329 is im told the Wifi driver, but seems to handle bluetooth as well.

So theirs a starting point. I hope we can move on with that info and get it working for many other too? :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatsu_1981:
Man, I am cool, you are the one addressing me as a stupid.

I helps peoples on forums from a lot of time, and the first thing that you should suggest to a person who can't turn on his pc is "plug it into the wall".

This doesn't imply that you are addressing him as a stupid, only that maybe he is a newbie.

Even to me, it happened that I have to re-do a stupid batch operation, since I didn't understood it the first time, or maybe I did it wrong or too hastly.

Mine wasn't an insult, everyone has been a newbie, even the most skilled developer.

I have to suggest, try CM6, since it's in the changelog "Implemented HID".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Yea it only got to me as im a fully qualified IT Engineer pmsl, and part time graphics designer, plus hacker lol. Otherwise if i was a noob i would let the stuff slide lol.

But yea the CM6 seems a good a place as any to start :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranwej:
I tried those files in new Froyo Sense, and not working. At all, hcitool and bluetooth HID doesn't work with HTC Sense!!!. Same problem with HTC Hero. So our goal is to find, why HID and hcitool doesn't work with fckin SENSE!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansheestealth:
The following probably isn't useful or won't make any sense at all (and I admit to being well out of my depth here), but looking around online, and in the folders of my Inc. I've found the following:

I don't think it's Sense causing the issue. It looks like more of an implementation of the BT: it's not recognized as a UART device, which is why you might be getting the "device not found/no route to host/etc" responses from hcitool/hciconfig/hidd. Same issue is coming up on the Incredible.

hcid and hcid.conf aren't in the /bluetooth folder. How the BT host hardware on the phones is seeing devices and working through them supplanting the normal bluez way of doing things, I don't know. It might have something to do with the combined nature of the wifi/bt chips and their implementation- ie, nothing gets handed off to the normal access method.

I have no idea how it's done, or what the values respective to the hardware is to do so, but from everything I find online the actual bt chip on the phone has to be recognized as UART, using hciattach, then it will show in hciconfig dev and hcitool. Once complete, we should then be able to use hidd --connect (BT address) to go from "paired but not connected" to actually working.

If anyone has an idea of the values needed for hciattach with regards to the bt chip on the Incredible, I'd be more than happy to give it a shot, which might very well mean it would work with the Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranwej:
Maybe i made some progress. I tried to initialize UART driver with hciattach tool, because it looks like it's not initialized and therefore hciconfig doesn't see any bt adapter. I was succesful, but BT isn't started properly.

Here are commands from adb shell:

For power up BT chip:

# echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

for UART initialize:

# hciattach -n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 any & sleep 5

(maybe we need to use instead of "any" some other device, you can see them with command hciattach -l)

Now when u type "hciconfig" you can see one BT adapter with address 00:00:00...

So we need tu start it up

# hciconfig hci0 up

Now BT have address, but is not started properly and you can't see BT icon (like when it's enabled). When u type

# hcitool scan

it will start scanning.. but doesn't find anything.

When you start BT through SENSE in this state... phone is laggy a lot.

I need your help guys for some more investigating, i'm a really noob :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Ummm.... sorry but thats above me :(, all i know is he is working on it :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
might as well respond here as well then.

Right now, there's two methods to do this on HTC roms:

1. Do device scanning and pairing through Bluez DBUS interface. A HCI interface gets created there. I've been unable to get it to connect to my keyboard up till now, but at least we can talk to the HCI interface through this.

You can find your HCI device (dbus path) through the following command:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapter

This will respond with something like /org/bluez/<pid>/hci0

After that, it's on to scanning and pairing with

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/1000/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.CreateDevice string:<MAC>

2. I've also been trying to recreate the normal /dev/hci0 device.

I've only got up till here so far:

(hciattach -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 any 115200 , and hciconfig hci0 reset)

hci0: Type: UART

Non-Sense ROMs use brcm_patchram_plus to patch RAM with the BCM4329 firmware.

I have, however, been unable to get it to scan anything so far..

Also, Sense ROMs use 'btld' (replacement for legacy brcm_patchram_plus) to do the same thing, as can be seen in logcat when enabling bluetooth.

I currently have no idea how this program works, or if we're able to call this binary interactively.

To be continued..
