Sony Ericsson :: Elm WiFi And Voip / Skype / Fring
Jul 28, 2010
I have a new Elm and have a couple of questions - sorry if I sound a bit stupid! If the 3G icon and the wireless icon are both shown, how do I know which I'm actually using and if I'm being charged for the call - in other words how can I know for sure that all I'm doing is using the local wifi rather than dialling out, or visa versa? Also does anyone know if I can use skype/fring or similar over wifi to make free/low cost calls?
I purchased Nokia C6.00 last year and i can use skype and fring. but few months back i cant install skype in my handset even if i tried a lot. Now a few weeks back my fring application is also lost i can installs fring but it got stuck in opening page. I re install this fring more than 10 times but it remains same problem. I also formant my mobile and memory card and after i intslled fring. but it remains same problem.
I just recently bought a C6-01 to replace my old E66. I installed skype and fring from Ovi Store. Voice calls from skype and fring are not working at all. Skype voice calls are displaying "skype call failed" while fring voice calls are hanging the phone totally. Chat sessions from skype and fring are working though. I tried re-installing it from skype and fring websites but still has the same problem. Re-installed it again from Ovi Store and still with the same problems. I checked if there is any available software update on the C6-01 online but none available.
This must be a Nokia problem as it happens both on Skype and Fring applications. I have been using these 2 applications on my other S60 Nokia phones and it works ok. Nokia's software quality on newly released models seem to be deteriorating. This is truly a bad reputation on Nokia considering all logged problems/issues in this forum. It is just a matter of one person posting all these on Facebook. I wonder if Nokia intends to compete with iPhones and Samsung smart phones. Not to mention that Android phones are becoming to be popular now. I hope Nokia will fix these problems quickly or these will definitely affect their sales.
I have had Fring installed on my mobile for some time. I used it as a means to log on to my company Skype account and chat with my colleagues - or log in to my private account and chat with my friends. Yesterday I looked and I couldnīt find Skype anymore, only MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ and those, no Skype.Is that just a temporary issue that might be solved by upgrading or has Skype stopped collaboration with Fring or something?

I recently buy new c7 & I install fring. App is running well I can use message but when I make call everytime my phone is going to hang even nimbuzz & skype is not working.
I'm just wondering why Skype was pre-installed on my Aspen (one of the main reasons why I purchased this handset) when skype is not compatible with this OS/handset.
try to use apps with voip like yahoo or skype so i do the call and i hear whom i call but no one in the world can hear me and then the speaker stopped the ringtone and all the media going in the front speaker so i restart the phone when its was in 1.6 it was working good but with this buggy update its stopped
thx and dont forget x8 also coz its have the same problem
I have just purchased a used Satin phone and I am having problems trying to connect to the INTERNET using the WI-if. I can go to websites but when i try to log-in it goes back to the menu screen. Is there something i need to change in the settings? I have downloaded the latest update but this hasn't made any difference. It may be something simple, i know but as its a new phone for me i am not sure what to do.
Does anyone else have trouble using the wifi aspect of their elm. I struggle to get it to connect and disconnect, so end up having to pay for mobile internet.
When I try to use wifi to access the internet it connects but after entering a URL it says "communication error - check settings or see your service provider"
I have had the W995 for close to a month now on a contract from Virgin and I am very pleased with it in almost every aspect apart from one!
The problem is as follows. When I connect to my WI-FI via the W995 I wait until I get confirmation that I am connected and then I attempt to access the internet via the browser provided by Sony Ericsson. After a short time I get the message 'Communication error. Try again, turn off Wi-Fi or contact your provider for support'. I have tried many things to fix this problem. I have spoken to Sony Ericsson and they suggested altering my security settings on the router. I have tried using Opera Mini as an alternative browser and perhaps 2 or 3 times it worked for a minute or two and then it failed. I have searched quite a few websites and seen that an awful lot of people have the same problem without getting anywhere with it. There are occasional suggestions that I have read and tried such as manually configuring the service and putting various IP addresses into my phone but nothing works!
Well connected to WIFI, but when try to connect to internet, keep poping-up "no gateway response" msg and failed to connet to internet. No idea how to solve this, need help!!!!
Just yesterday I installed new version to my phone (flashing) and the WiFi doesn't work. I find my network, connecting in to it, but web browsing is not working.
is it possible to get wifi on my c905a without debranding it? I thought i heard somewhere that just downloading opera's mini browser allows you to use wifi to surf the web?
My vivaz can't connect to internet via WiFi (router tp-link) when connection is secured I already checked all possible combinations. When I take off the password from the router there is no problem at all. Another weird thing is I can access router webpage whilst connection is secured but that is it. My router is showing all the time that connection is associated and authorized. Didn't test this phone on other WiFi points.
I tried to connect internet through WiFi in my office using mode W705. It is an open network. The network was connected whenever i turned on WiFi in my mobile. But while browsing, it causes an error like "Communication error. Try again, turn off Wi-Fi or contact your provider for support." Any one can help me, what is the problem happening here..
I'm having trouble logging into the Facebook App on my Elm, via Wifi. I was wondering if anybody else was having similar trouble and if they found a solution?
I have a c905 and the wifi was working perfectly for the first couple of months but it has stopped connecting to my router (it will connect when it feels like it but most of the time it will not).
i am now living in singapore and i need to tell you that i cannot connect to the wifi network although my uncle's nokia n96 can or even my psp. i am using my home wireless network. and sometimes when the wifi is connected the Internet page does not open. but my internet page opens.
I keep getting 'Out of range' from my aino while trying to connect to my home wifi (2wire 2701HGV-E). Need help on how to solve this! Also my phone is not detected during the update service via usb-to-computer. It is stuck at the 'connect' page and doesn't move onto 'confirm'.
When i want to surf to website like facebook.. it appear that "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AGAIN, TURN OFF WIFI OR CONTACT YOUR PROVIDER FOR SUPPORT" but sometimes i can surf...
why does my phone automatically connect to my wifi when i go to my hotmail account which means i cannot get my emails whilst outside and i get no alerts for new emails
After i get a WiFi connection and try to browse the Internet i get a message of error! what can i do to fix that problem? beside returning the phone to the shop!
