3g camera as webcam?

Hi i was just wondering if the camera on the front of the device can be used as a webcam while on msn messenger?Or if perhaps in some way it could be modified.It'd just be a cool thing to have when your away!cheers

if you mean a webcam for your pc then do a search for webcam in the forum because the universal would as much possible to act as the role of webcam as any other htc device with a cam

No i mean a webcam in itself.Since it will be capable of 3g calls i see n reason reason why i couldn't,in some shape or form be a webcam in itself while on msn on the ppc.Perhaps with some tweaking,i don't know just a question

oohh ok well does messenger pocket support webcams at all ?
i dident think it did
if it does it just need to support the htc cam
with ms portrait they dident support htc cams
if it does not support webcams then maybe in a future version

theres no options for it i can see, shame tho, i use jasjar alot on wifi and it could have so much potential for msnm
maybe in the next version

As first step have a look at http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/LxCam.html
LxCam is working with MDA pro / HTC Universal.
Conclusion: HTC camera was found.
Wi-Fi-streaming is ok, but slow.

soz but i think you got the wrong end of the stick there,
agreed that is good and has it been successfull on the universal?? if so im gonna grab that baby!!!!!, If im correct that app is used to use the universal "AS" the webcam for a desktop pc, for use in msnm etc, but im on about pocket msnm actually on the phone, using the webcam within the phones version, surlly that is a big oops by M$ specially as theyre charging for the upgrade to the version on the universal
argh, to many different versions of the same thing!

Doesn't work on my JasJar. It complains: "Error opening HTCcamera.dll" or something along those lines.

it works on mine mda pro.
It uses the 1.3MP camera instead of the Cmos one..
And the screen is upside down on the pc, and i must hold the camera also upside down to get a straight picture.
its a great app !

It's a shame it cannot be used as a webcam in pocket msnm.Would be a great feature

I am hoping they are working on an API that will allow the second camera to be used as a webcam. I know MSN Portrait supports that on previous PPCs that had to have an camera installed via SDIO/card, so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to do the same with a built in cam

I e-mailed them and asked about future support. The reply was
" Thanks for your support. We may support windows mobile 5.0 in near
future."
So let's keep our fingers crossed. This would be the killer app.

Did someone tried http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-wince.html ? it's a really really good video/music player (ogg included) and can stream videos over the network.

Any bode know if there are something new in about webcam on JasJar

Turn your new HTC pda into a webcam!
Turn your HTC PDA into a webcam
(a little slow and not as good quality as internal video, but still a neat little trick)
Note **** This is a trial version for 14 days ****
1. Download the following files
http://www.virtual-gadgets.com/download/LxCamView.exe
http://www.virtual-gadgets.com/download/LxCam1.01.exe
2. Copy LxCamView to the desktop computer and make a shortcut
3. Copy LxCam1.01.exe to the pda and make a shortcut
4. On Desktop/server, configure the firewall appropriately: add a TCP service with IP address of the Pocket PC (or internal lan or allow any device) with port number 4444
5. Start Wifi or Activesync Connnection
6. Start LxCamView on the desktop computer
7. Start LxCam1.01.exe on the pda
8. Select tools, then select ip address, enter ip address of pc/workstation,select ok
You should see the image!
On Pocket PC, setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zone1\LxCam\Rotate to 1 rotates the picture by 180 degrees
He also has a great photo app that takes pictures with the pda camera and auto ftp's them to your web site... The photo app was cheap and works well on my jasjar, pda2k and my son's hp6315.
Check out this developers web site for more info
http://www.zone1,de
and no, I don't have anything to do with this web site or developer; I just thought he had a couple of good apps....

Does this work as a webcam for MSN? I know there used to be an app that did it for other PPCs, but that it didn't work for MSN.

BBC Iplayer app for Diamond

Hello guys,
1. does anyone know of a way to play BBC iplayer on the diamond or
2. Can some on write an app (like the you tube app) for the bbc iplayer, some thing like the Nokia N96 will have.
i would have thought as the diamond supports Flash and Java, the iplayer should work, howerver this is not the case.
the have given us flash lite so we dont miss out on all the wonderfull banner ads around the web, but no video support
This would be great for the WM 5/6 user. as the iphone is able to play iplayer and N96 will be able.
I feel left out.

I was just wondering the same thing, an iplayer app would be awesome

The BBC are releasing a new iPlayer client for mobile devices on 1st October, primarily for the Nokia N96 which is a Symbian phone:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7603606.stm
It's possible they might release something for other device as well.
I had an idea to get iPlayer working though, haven't really looked into yet. As the iPlayer works on the iPhone, it might be possible to get it to work on the Diamond by doing the following:
- Install latest version of Opera (build 1938)
- Install Flash Lite 3.1
- Change the User Agent String in Opera to that of the iPhone
Don't ask me how to do the last part, I'm not even sure if it is possible but you could start by checking out the Opera.ini file
Good luck!
P.S. It looks like during a beta earlier this year the iPlayer was available on HTC phones, except videos didn't work. Here are screenshots of what it should like on the Diamond!
http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/2008/07/06/bbc-iplayer-20-beta/

I've had no joy doing those two first steps but would be willing to try the third if someone could point me in the right direction.

Anyone with skyfire try it?

Well, I made a bit of progress!
I now have the iPhone version of iPlayer loading in Opera after I modified the opera.ini file and changed the user agent string as follows:
Custom User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A102
Here is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
However, I haven't figured out how to get the videos to play. I downloaded the dvha79 build of Flash Lite 3.1 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423860
Without changing the user agent string, the standard iPlayer page loads and videos appear to start buffering but never play. After changing the user agent string to the iPhone, as you can see from the second picture it complains about a missing plug-in. I have done a bit of experimentation and appears it is trying to load an MP4 stream which Flash Lite should be able to handle, I have tried tweaking the opera.ini plug-ins section (even tried to get Windows Media Player to play the stream) as well as the registry classes root and played about with CLSIDs to get it to play with the Flash Lite plugin but no joy.
I'll give up for now and wait and see what happens on October 1st.

I'm working on this too - if I get anywhere that hasnt already been covered then I'll let you know - I have simular results to this but I didnt change the .ini file - I'm not convinced that makes a huge difference? I have the latest Opera installed and the latest 3.2 flash.....

Sweet!
Thanks for the heads up.

THE question is... does it support VGA screens with normal font size !?
Ciao

signed version
how to get it signed!? I hate these popup questions everytime i click on smtg
thanks

edit your selector.utf file and change the domain for the mini 4.2 suite to be tckmax. add 3 spaces after the word tckmax to keep the file the same length.
4.2 is a yawner for me. mobile youtube support. big whoop. skins? yawn.
notes? your kidding right. speed up? I'm sure that if they have us based servers now, your old version 4.1 is using them.

Alright!!
Let's give it a try ~~~~

4.2 definitely feels much faster to me. i only use wifi for browsing, but it's definitely loading pages much faster than before. glad they finally have a us server too. 4.1 still went through the NO servers (at least on my phone it did), and it was extremely annoying when sites that automatically set your location thought i was in norway.
to get the signed version, just click on the link (on your phone) to select a different version. all the signed ones are right there.

Thanks! Installed & works for me using Esmertec JavaVM...using black skin; very fast.

No need to do dirty hacks on java security, just download the correct (signed version), from the alternate links on mini.opera.com\beta

It is faster for me and I love the skins.
I prefer green skin right now.

Hi, does someone tested it on vga screen ( diamond for example ) ? What about the fonts size ?

Here is the link to launch it directly and the icon dll
Just put the dll in /windows/appdb and the lnk where you want

Opera Mini 5 beta is available

www.opera.com/next

All in all it's just a new interface and copy and paste functionality...
I'm a bit disappointed..
I can see Sh*t on my Xperia 800*480 3' display... Everything is so tiny that is unusable...
They should put some setting to make zoomed interface for bigger resolution (like Xperia)
Also old problem using large font size is causing overlapping of letters... and all looks mixed up .. . is not solved...
So almost nothing has been changed of all problem that I had on my Xperia... and all WVGA resolution Mobile phones...
One more thing: Automatic changing (when opening keyboard) from portrait to landscape does not work

Opera Mini 5 beta is now available
This is the day you've all been waiting for! Opera Mini 5 beta is hereby ready for download.
As you know, we've been working on this version for quite a while. When you see the end result, we're sure you'll think the waiting was worthwhile. To download, go to http://m.opera.com/next, but please note that phone support varies from previous versions of Opera Mini.
Some key features:
* New, sleek design
* Tabbed browsing
* Password manager
* Inline text editing
* Copy-and-paste function
* We have made a special, native version for BlackBerry which includes opening links and copy-and-paste functions
Known issues:
* No Android version yet, but we're working on it :smile:
* All Palm devices will have to stick with 4.2, as they aren't capable of running 5
* Downloads, feeds and Opera Link are all disabled in the Beta while we polish the implementation
* Devices with little memory may have problems, in general, and some may not be able to run Opera Mini 5 at all.
* Devices with small resolution (less than QVGA, 240 в 320) are not recommended to try the beta
For more info, please read the press release
As always, we welcome your feedback in our forum, and please report any bugs in our bug report wizard. Thanks!
Enjoy Opera Mini 5 beta! :yes:
Best regards,
The Opera Mini team

Lol, hello!
Well the view switch problem is annoying......

awesome i love it already but what i miss is Opera Link inside

And still no version of Opera Mobile 9.7 beta. And 9.7 has the turbo mode already. I hope that they will release the final 9.7 version soon.

loved it now. im gonna say goodbye to opera mini 4.2.... i miss you forever

Some users have reported that new OM5 beta is battery eater.. it consumes up to 3 times more resources than old OM4.2...
I think that I'm going to stick to good old OM4.2 until they resolve this big energy consumption problem...

Well, basically it can do much more than 4.2, like tabbed browsing.
Rendering is perfect. And it's REALLY fast.
It has bugs of course but another miracle has been done.

I find Opera mini 5 extremely fast at loading pages, easily the quickest mobile browser ive used.

Uuuh, that would not be nice. I really do love the new 5 beta. Before I couldn't believe that there would be a big improvement possible but it really is. Great browser!

I really like this new browser, and I havent got to use all its features yet.
Some problems with drop down menus on a web page, but maybe this could also be an issue with the website coding itself, ie not browser friendly.

Anyone know why when installed on my phone it has the java logo instead of the Opera one?

Use Mauro Venturini shortcut creator for changing the icon. You can copy icon from Opera mobile.
Actually for me this beta works nice. I would not use it, since it does not have opera link yet, so I can't use all my bookmarks .. and if some page was rendered bad in old opera mini, it is the same here, as it is more problem of Opera proxy servers (it is same with Opera mobile turbo mode).
Anyway all I can say is I like it.

If I follow the online instructions, my X1a then opens a Java app and indicates that it is installing a "midlet". After 30 sec it shows an error(?)
If I go to the Opera website via my desktop's browser to see if I can download an installer, I see a 'JAD' and 'JAR' download, but I don't know which is appropriate(?)
Please advise ...

[Discussion] WM applications missing from Android

Most of people here has moved from windows mobile 6.5 to Android after this great revolution.
Did you have any programs in windows mobile that you are missing and wish to be on Android or you don't even know that they exists? maybe those are preventing you from completely switching to Android.
The purpose of this discussion is to help each other finding replacement tools and applications for some useful applications in windows mobile.
My applications that i missed from windows mobile:
* LMT : multitouch launcher - I've viewed a previous thread telling that it is not possible to create such an application, but in my opinion it could be done using the Accessibility services-
* g-trigger : Perform actions based on gestures with the phone. found some replacements as shake2* (shake to play next, shake to mute but those uses only one gesture with very limited actions) , tasker ( very hard to configure and record gestures)
* Garmin : I know there are many GPS applications but there is no one that can work offline, create custom map and provide 3D navigation. Since no GPS application is offering a map for my country. I usually use openstreetmap and offline map downloader to create vector navigation map for Garmin.
* And finally the reverse tethering (Internet Pass Through) just like what activesync was doing for non Desire HD/Z based ROMS (can't use them since they lack some Arabic support and are much slower than cyanogen and stock builds). I was able to reverse USB tethering to browse the web through my PC internet but many applications on Android won't run if there is no wifi or data connection is available -thinking of providing a virtual wireless interface but this needs more time -.
Do you know any replacements? or do you miss other applications from windows mobile?

Have you tried OsmAnd? Free satnav app which uses openstreetmap and consistently gets good ratings.

Forced to use wimo only by tomtom navigator or update build.

Use CoPiliot for offline GPS navigation - I do and it works great.

Ahhh see living in the United States, CoPilot works flawlessly for me but it's definitely not my favorite. I really prefer iGO8 from WM but I have yet to find a similar GPS software for Android that is available in the United States.

maybe Navigon would be the best for me, but i'd really be glad to give it a test before spending 60€...

Actually this image is from the internet
I live in Syria. IGO, AERO, CoPilot and Navigon do not provide a map or navigation for my country!
The good thing with Garmin is that it can give me the features of those applications with a custom map taken from a map source.

I only use WM for TomTom now (and not even that... I live in London and do not drive when in the city, so no need).
However I have yet to find an e-book reader as useful as AlReader2, although CoolReader is getting close. All of Android readers are either limited on file-type, have specific storage locations, or look ugly/have no night-mode when reading.
And I'm glad VPlayer has come along, as I was otherwise missing TMPCP or whatever that video player was called, and I didn't want to pay for RockPlayer.

Doesn't Droid Explorer have a window for viewing the contents of your Android screen? (Screencast plugin)

Missing:
1. the calculator of Wm6.5 and the new WM7, they are great.
2. the way WM6.5 (don't know what WM7 does) groups contacts, the 2 versions of Android I tried do not work well for me.
3. don't like HTC Sync it is too unstable and has too many requirements (I had to setup an XP disk just to load my contacts and it was painful), prefer Active Sync it works on any OS
4. battery drain for WM is about 5% overnight with the 2 Android builds it was close to 60%, simply unacceptable.
5. flipping only 1h2m on the darn clock every time you look at it, Android starts from 12:00 and goes to 23:59 that drives me crazy
6. versions of Android that are out seem to be too unstable for my taste and the last one completely crashed my HD2 and had to reinstall radio and rom and had a hard time doing it. Now I am back to stock radio/rom of WM6.5 until everything on an Android build is stable.
On the other hand
1. locking out WAP was easier on Android
2. miss the digital clocks of Android
3. setup was easier on Android
4. the message balloons were easier to see
