HI
Is it possiable to view a webcam image with MSN Messenger for pocket pc using Mobile 2003se.
I have looked at the tools option within the MSN Messenger software currently running om my XDA II with Mobile 2003se, & can find no option to receive a webcam call or sound?
Having searched the net on this issue, I have found mention of a program called Microsoft Portrait which appears to give this function to MSN Messenger, but although this is a microsoft product, which is currently downloadable, I am a little reluctant to try as it's dated 2004 ver 2.3.
I have also looked at upgrades for MSN Messenger for Mobile 2003se & there is a site which will upgrade the product via Activesync, but with no listing of what features are available, or version No. to check against.
(Is it actually possiable to identify version of MSN Messenger running under 2003se in some way?)
Has anyone gone through this route before who can help me?
mobile messenger dont support it currently
not that it would be possible to do it with a higher fps then
1 fpm == frame pr. minut
Thanks for the reply Rudegar
Have you seen this before;

Please advise me of your thoughts.
had it installed once long time agoe
back then the camera of my himalaya was not supported
somebody talked about ms wanted to make support for it
if they had the camera stk
though
here is last i've heard about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22825&highlight=microsoft+portrait
and pretty much all i heard about it

Thanks for your time in advising me of previous activities on this.
May well give it a try myself now......I guess if anything developes in the future, it will manifest it's self via a "Mobile MSN Messenger upgrade"?
yes unless i'm misstaken then universal devices dont come with messenger and they seem to have to pay ms to get it
so that may indicate that newer versions of messenger will have more features
of cause i'm not sure tha they would release it for older non wm2005 devices
I guess a close watch is kept on MS to see if any new features appear at the following;
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/msnmessenger/default.mspx
It would be nice to be told of any new features are being made available?
I can find no reference to what new upgade features are anywhere, no version numbers or nothing?
Guess I will just have to run the upgrade & hope I only gain features & not loose any.......thats if anything happens at all.
Once again, thanks for all your help.
I thought someone had told me, WM5 supported 'push' e-mail that meant you got your e-mails like text messages, when they happen, not when you chose to download them?
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone know how to get it to work?
Thanks.
This needs to be supported by your email server... there was a lot of talk about Microsoft Exchange supporting 'Direct Push Technology'
See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/2003/sp2mobility.mspx
or http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/business/5/ for information about the windows mobile software
hope that helps!
Hi!
Here's what you need to get it working using ONLY MS components:
1. Exchange 2003 + Service Pack 2
2. WM5 + Messaging and Security Feature Pack
Everything except the MSFP is available today, it's released to OEM (HTC...) and is probably available to the public jan/feb or march through an OS upgrade.
Cheers!
With WM2003/SE, I used Intellisync or Chapura Pocket Mirror to sync Outlook categories and MightySync for folders - an added bonus was only having to set up a "Guest" Activesync connection to make this work, making the whole process a lot faster and practically troublefree.
In comparison, I found that extended use of a full Activesync partnership would continually disrupt my PC and my LAN and internet connections and corrupt Outlook. Not to the extent of meltdown, but enough to irk and cause unnecessary hassle (usually at the wrong time).
With WM2005, the Activesync experience worsened considerably. Outlook 2003 and WM2005 are barely cordial and it's a nuisance having to shut down AS 4.1 before I can reboot my PC - AS is also so damned slow!
The only app I can find that's compatible with WM2005 is On-Schedule Sync (www.odysseyinc.com). I can't tell from Intellisync's website whether they support WM2005, but I've tried and failed with their latest version.
Chapura state that they will release a compatible version, but haven't a date yet. This info is at least 4 months old!
Does anyone know of any other software besides On-Schedule that will work?
Also, Pocket Controller Professional syncs folders (very handy app, this!), but MightySync doesn't appear to (at least, not for me).
have you tried on schedule yet? i downloaded it... but the overtheair option looks like it's not included on the trial version. intellisync didn't work for me either, neither does SEVEN. the other programs i used to use (symmetry prot, infowave, etc... don't support single users anymore).
really need a push mail client compatible with my work env (no IT support, exchange server). i hate my blackberry!!!!
Well now that there are all the various ways to sync Google Calendar with windows mobile devices, I'm convinced there must be a way to do the same with Windows Live Calendar (plus I think they both use the .ics format) Anybody who's familiar with this type of app, can you give us some direction?
Thanks!

You need to add one more option to the poll:
"No, but I would if it could sync OTA with my WinMo phone!"
B/c that is where I am at right now. Until it can OTA sync with my phone, I need to stick with Exchange for my calendar.
Ideally, WM6.1 would add support for multiple calendars and WL Calendar would add OTA sync. Syncing both a Work and Personal calendar OTA would be the hotness.
I feel you...I was implying that this solution would sync over the air. I seriously have never synced with my desktop. I use hotmail, so windows live (in its current state) can handle email and contacts over the air just fine. Now if only we could get the calendar functionality going! Thanks for the reply and hopefully this will continue to pique the interest of other readers.

I feel like I could also live with some desktop app that can sync my windows live calendar with an exchange account, then access it through direct push. I've read about a product called Calgoo http://www.calgoo.com that apparently can sync Google Calendar with an exchange server...does this sound like a possibility?
MJB
Bump? Anyone? Bueller?
This is a frustration of mine as well...one of the key components to the "Outlook" suite is calendaring, and that is the one component they have purposely left out so far. From what I have read about Microsoft's new Sync framework, I suspect that it has something to do with the launch of that new product and the impact it will have on the direction of Microsoft's mobile/disconnected computing offerings...
That said, it still doesn't address my needs today...the answer to mbial's question at the start is simply no...This has frustrated me to the point where I was going to write an application to handle this, however I ran into a wall when I discovered that the Windows Live API explicitly excludes a WL Calendar interface. So for now I am resorting to painful manual .ics exports and syncing with Outlook...no OTA yet...
MoonMan,
Despite the Windows Live API excluding a calendar interface, I don't believe all of the gCal syncing solutions explicitly rely on Google APIs. Take a look at solutions like these:
http://oggsync.com/index.php/windows-mobile-documentation/detailed-feature-chart/
or
http://www.goosync.com/
which permit full two-way syncing with no middle-man server. GCal and Windows Live Calendars aren't all that different in features or functionality, so I have to believe that this is a possibility. Keep the ideas flowing!
Best,
MJB
Here are 3 examples of open-source gCal sync solutions...anyone want to take a look at the code and see if we can repurpose these apps for Windows Live Calendar?

Thanks as always,

One more thing...
After scouring MSDN and dev.live.com I have learned that the Live Calendar APIs are not, in fact, available yet. This is surprising considering one of the developers stated that the API was coming soon way back in April of 07. Sucks.
MJB
Are there some new information? (Sync Windows Live Calendar would be a great feature.. if we cant sync, i dont know for what the calendar should be.)
greets blackx
Can I ask why you haven't tried using Outlook 07 for hotmail :S maybe that might solve your problems and let you sync the calendar. Don't flame me if I missed something or this is a stupid suggestion because I didn't totally comprehend the situation D:

I have Outlook 2003, but i dont use it.
I like to be portable (i use the http webinterface..) so i can check emails all over the world.. my calendar would be available for my messenger contacts, and i dont have to install/use more software then i really need.
(sorry, but i dont like to use outlook, its a nice program but i think web-based application would be the future..)
greets mike
The goal here is to sync over the air, not using a desktop. There has been some progress made though, as Windows Live Wave 3 is being rolled out and it's possible the Calendar APIs are now available. Also, I've been in contact with Thomas Wetzel of SynchPST. He is going to try and make the next version of SynchPST compatible with Microsoft Office Outlook Connecter, which would allow those of us with exchange accounts to use desktop outlook/exchange to have proper push of our Windows Live services (although this would require you leave outlook running on a computer at all times, it would be a big step in the right direction.) Take a look at our conversation:
Original Email:
I recently stumbled upon your product SynchPST because I am looking for a way to synchronize my Windows Live Hotmail account with my hosted exchange account. Presently your tool is able to read and sync the data file for my exchange account, however, it is unable to read the data file for Office Outlook Connecter (which is how I retrieve my hotmail into my outlook.) Is there any possibility of adding this functionality to SynchPST so it can read/sync data stores generated by the Outlook Connector? This would be HUGE for many people and I would be happy to pay a premium over your standard and professional products for this feature. Thanks in advance and I hope to hear a response from you soon.
Response:
Thank you for your reply.
I downloaded Outlook Connector and could reproduce this behavior. I will try to implement the synchronization of a Windows Live account in the next releases.
Regards
Thomas Wetzel

Let's hope there's some progress on this front for those of us using Windows Live services!

google Windows Live Essentials and Windows Live Sync.
or rather, check out www.liveside.net
MS is releasing a new Windows Mobile client that will utilize this client for over the air sync of contacts, mail, calendar, and more. just a heads up for everyone wondering
any progress?
its been nearly a year, is it not possible to ota sync with live calender?
It sucks. I want OTA syncing of my calendar. Its the only reason my phone even gets plugged into my computer anymore.

Live Framework CTP
Well, I hadn't checked back into this in a while, but it turns out that the Live Framework Community Technology Preview (CTP) was released in mid-March and DOES have access to calendar functions. Has anyone taken a look at this?

So I'm poking around in Pocket Outlook, and under "Menu>Tools>" there's a Greyed out item named "Enable Updates". I tried searching for any info regarding this, but couldn't find any. I can't find anything that allows me to use the item from the menu, but was curious what it was for. Anyone care to enlighten me?
This functions works with Exchange 2010
I don't know how, but it works only with 2010
SMS Sync works only with Exchange 2010 too...
Thanks for the info!
Yeah, it's an Exchange 2010 feature and seems it will also work with WM6.1:
Over the Air Update Mode
You can now push new Outlook Mobile updates/new versions to Windows Mobile 6.1 and above. This is really nice since you no longer have to wait for a new Windows Mobile OS version to obtain a new version of Outlook Mobile.

Also, slightly off-topic: Has anyone figured out how to actually send SMS from Outlook/OWA with Exchange 2010?
