Hello Steph, Could you be more specific when you say in Skype "No one hears me and I cant hear them." I assume you can hear people over the earpiece of the phone and they can hear you if you talk straight into the phone? If that is the case it may just be a matter of you switching to your Bluetooth headset the same way you would switch to speakerphone. It's a bit tricky to do this when the sound comes out of the earpiece because you have to hold the phone close enough to your ear so you can hear Voiceover, but also far enough away so that the proximity sensor does not engage and locks the screen. Oh, and all of this has to be done once you started your call because you won't have the option to switch until you are in an active call.
Once you are on a call, check the status bar right above the home key where on the home screen you have your docked apps or where in the phone app you have the options for your Favourites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad and Voice Mail. In Skype you will find the End Call button at the very bottom right, a Mute button and, approx. in the middle above the home key you will find a button called "Earpiece". If you double tap this choices appear above that and about in the middle of the screen (I mean the middle from left to right). Maybe do this without your Bluetooth on first to get the feel for it and if you use the white headset that came with your iPhone first it's even easier since you hear Voiceover on the headset as well as your Skype call. The "Earpiece" option now says "Headset". If you double tap it and then slide your finger up a bit you will find another "Headset" button, just above that you find the "Speakerphone" button and if you slide up even more you hear the elapsed time for your call. If you double tap on Speakerphone the call will switch to speakerphone, tap Headset again and it will go back to Headset. When I just tried this with my Bluetooth headset, "Bluetooth Headset" was a third option in that list, i.e. I had Speakerphone at the top, "Headset" underneath and "Bluetooth Headset" underneath that which means Bluetooth Headset was the first option if you move from the bottom up. It seemed that the first time I had to double tap on Bluetooth Headset to get Skype to route the call to it, but when I hung up and called again it would switch to the Bluetooth headset automatically just as a wired headset has priority over the earpiece. If you want a way to try this all out, you can use the Skype Call Testing Service, it's "Echo123" if you don't have it in your contact list. If you start a call with the call testing service you get a message that this is the Skype call testing service and that after the beep you can say something and if everything works the way it should, you hear a second beep after 10 seconds and what you said will be played back to you., to test these sort of things. Also keep in mind that a 2-finger double tap will not work in Skype for hanging up a call and neither will the headset controls, you have to double tap the "End Call" button on the very bottom right of the screen. Hopefully Skype will at least implement this to work with the headset controls at some point. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
