Video chat over MSN Messenger - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Is there a way to use videochat over wireless connection from Universal like from desktop computer? The O2 ROM has MSN Messanger but this doesn't support that feature.
Thanks.

Messaging clients on Windows Mobile aren't great. MSN is a battery hog. Agile Messenger is featureless. You'd think there'd be a great one to support this video conferencing feature by now. It'll happen.

I hope so. Video call is supported via GPRS/3G (way expensive), but not via tcpip.

Actualy via MSN Messenger, surely it would just be GPRS/3G data, not the video call facility being used?

I'd prefer MSN Messenger video via GPRS/3G data and via wifi as well. Video call is also ridiculously costly.

More Camera Function for your buck
As indicated here, and restated here to reduce double up....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=227487#227487
Any programmers out there? Gurus, god like creatures, avatars, superheros, and supreme beings..... PLEASE can any of you develop a program to allow us to get more functionality out of the camera:
1. As indicated, as a security camera
2. Instant Messenger or alternative instant chat by camera over WIFI rather than needing a video call
3. Perhaps even, maybe possibly, enable the camera flashlight also.....
4. Remote control operation from PC
5. Remote control operation over the web!!
I'll tip in some bucks for it and I am sure given the number of forums on this, that others will also.
Alas, mine is the JJ rather than Wizard, but I think many and all would like some additional apps and functions out of the cameras.

Video Cam

Hi,
Is there any way to use the video cam on the tytn.. if you do not have access to 3g or gprs? is there any way to get this working over a wireless connection?
Is there any other software that will enable its use in anything other than a video call. At the moment for me its a bit useless!
Thanks
Webcamera Plus from Ateksoft lets you use either camera as a webcam (with a wifi or USB connection to a PC).

but does this software alow u to use the hermes on msn messenger as a webcam?
msn and skype and........
yes you can, but only from pc.
One missed thing is to use msn + cam directly with the pda (without pc support)
I hope there are commercial reasons, because video calls can be unuseless if you can videocall via mobile messenger.
That would require someone to write a version of Messenger for the PPC that supported video calling, though. Unlikely that anyone except MS would do that, as I don't even know of any 3rd party PC clients that support it fully.
As someone mentioned in another thread, MS Portrait supports video calling - that might be some use.
Here's the situation so far.. I have the software mentioned above, and I can use the Tytn as a webcam, but the problem is that it only shows up in the window on the desktop that one has to open using the software.
I can't get the image to show up on MSN messenger instead..
Is there something that I am missing??
A few people have had this issue. Uninstall/reinstall/reboot worked for me, then you select the source in the webcam setup part of Messenger.

any way to webcam chat with front camera over MSN Messenger Mobile?

hi guys,
this question has nothing to do with the PC.
i mean strictly on the PPC, can i do this?
thanks!
Webcam Chat With Front Camrea Over Msn Mobile
with this program from microsoft, you can sign in to your msn and make a video call with the ones on your list. Two things i should say;
fisrt, this program does not use front camera, only the back camera can be used, and other friend should have this program installed in his PPC too..
There is also a seperate PC software which is used for making video call on PC, otherwise man on pc can not see your video coming from your PPC...
install and play for a while, you will understand the usage easily.
By the way, both GPRS and WiFi are supported. And both are the latest versions. I hope you are using windows mobile 5, because with windows mobile 6, sometimes program can make some problems.. Like you can not see client, but client can see you, or vice versa...

MSN Messenger replacement

Hola,
My built in MSN Messenger is refusing to connect for some reason. It worked when the phone was new, but I guess some ROM/Radio/program I installed pushed this already fragile program too hard.
I installed "Agile Messenger", which works quite well, but they require an absurd price for a subscription.
Is there any such program that can emulate the MSN Messneger functionality that is free or at least not outrageously priced?
Use Palringo, @+
send me a download link pls and ivwe been on the website, im not sure whether to clik the mobile one of the blakberry one...and is it ok to put my mobile number in? and they wont charge me anyfin?

try to disable your proxy at the connections settings.. that worked for me with MSN that doesn't connect.

Use Fring to solve all this problem..
how about web live messenger?
http://mobile.live.com/wlm
I usually use this link rather than the live messeger ... this is a lot faster , and uses less bandwidth. Just that it wont pop up msg, you need to press REFRESH ...

Webcam on HD ?

Hello
does anyone know if there is an application to turn the HD into a webcam ?
To use with skype or MSN.
Thanks.
I don't believe you can use the phone as a webcam for msn or skype, I don't think the mobile versions support that. However, if i've mis understood you and you want to use the cam for PC msn or skype, then check out ATEKSOFT web Camera Plus. It's a fantastic program which will allow you not only to use the phone as a webcam over activesync, but you can do it over wifi too with an IP connection.
See what you think.

Its 100% free app..........
Thanks and regards
important and fantastic
Dear ALL!!
As our senior member wrote earlyer,it is a truly amazing app.
Besides my problem,(happen to me) the program is working in EU or other modern countrys.Dubai is back in time with 20years in the communication yet.
The fantastic thing in Fring is that you belive it or not>> you don t need a sim card in your phone to use it!!
I advise you gyus to look at the youtube or google for the Fring videos!!You can be pretty surprised with the outcome!
Well,you def. need a strong wifi connection.!!!With 3G I don t guarantee full satysfaction!
Don t forget the phone specific download.On the Fring site,you need to find your own download cab.!
happy Fring helios
when on site of fring, no support for htc touch hd? Which version should i take then?

Download from my mirror or else select anyother htc devices ( i.e diamond ).
hmmm, just tried it, but it isn't very finger friendly... and no option to hide offline contacts....... it's got potential, but lacks user friendlyness
I just gave it another try too - and it still has the same annoying alert sound when receiving a chat msg! I can't find anyway to disable or change it other than muting my sound altogether with. If there was an option to change or disable the sound I might use it.
Skype or one of the others?
Thanks for the post.
So which is best and cheapest if I want to call
my folks thru fring to their cell phone, (but not smartphone): skype? Where can I find a comparison
of pros and cons between the different voice data internet systems? (I have a full data plan thru T-mobile, and use a Trinity wm5.)

is there a way to use fring with 3g WAP access?
in other words, for port 8080 only?
Screenshots?
Doesnt it work over GPRS? 3G? or WAP?... so it only works on wireless or while connected via activesync? O_O
starnge but happy
Heyyyahh All!
so many question about FRING.Why noone take a sneek wiev on youtube,or google,but the best is the Fring website.Planty answers,and even more pics films e.t.c are there.
When I met with this program first,I needed a free or at least cheap communication in Dubai!sorry FROM Dubai!Back to EU!
On 3G ,it works badly if you call your Mom!On wifi it needs a good signal.GPRS sometimes ok,but most of the week signals are just fine for chat!
The best option is to configure the SIP client.If you have voipbuster,it is easy!Check out the data on theyer website,and you can see what country is free to call?!!!!On the otherhand it is always free from computer 2 computer!!Or from Fring to another Fring user!
There is no cheaper tan FREE!!!!!
The annoying beep is there in the msg client.With the system sounds and noticication you can fine tune it.It is visible with HTC and some fresh Rom s !!
It is the IM client sounds in the notification setup.In the system setup tabell!
The connection is buffling stable on wifi,and it was specialy fantastic at the airports!!!Good to say helo I m alive for free!!The option to chat in the same time wit 6 different chat client is just great.
well: look at the website,and learn as I did.Find som wifi and Fring away!!!

fring on etisalat
Ahdeshpande!!
You right,but as u probably know,etisalat in UAE. is just another fu..ng stupid company,who belives in fate,and the kingdom of communication!!
Well there are a number of softwares what u can use to go on any website in the world.!
Not proxy servers,but others!
just a few>> ghost surf,hotspot shild,ultra surf...This is a small list of softwares,u can use during sign up on the Fring site!!
I do,and work fantastic.After the sign up procedure it will work on your phone!
It is truly a pain in the a.... how etisalat try to control the web.But u know,it is uncontrollable,and with one of the above mentioned software,u can browse anything!!ANYTHING!!!
P.S the ultrasurf programm is attached.It is a good start for invisible browsing!HAVE FUN
helios
etisalat the bastardo!!!!
Please don t forget>>>> the u94 program works only on explorer.Not on mozzilla!!
So u can open now the Fring with explorer.After u unzipped the program u94,and setup is ok,please give a few seconds for bild up the vpn connection.Don t let the automatic site to come and load fully.It is not important.A Padlock appears on the lower left corner on your desktop,if the MEDICINE is ready to use.U can use for many other sites.If u need some hard sites,it isn t the strongest encryption.So it doesn t work for all sites,but many!!
