Video chat over internet with Universal - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi guys
do you know any program for Uiversal that enables the device to video chat with another pc. i have fount microsoft portrait , but it doesnt support universal webcam.
thanks.

no ways?

I'm also looking for that kind of application.
Anyone could help us?
Many thanks in advance!

Currently, there're no TCP/IP-based (that is, no UMTS-based "native") chatter apps.

I too would love to have this kind of app, it just brings the Universal to yet another level!. Ive tryed searching but found nothing. I hope someone finds something soon

SKYPE
Anyone tried SKYPE mobile? I hear it works on PDA's I think it has video also.

How about Microsoft Portrait... http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/

skype>>doesnt have video chat
portaite>>doesnt support universal camera
did you ever used cool camera software that get the ppc video to pc with active sync i think this is based on tcp/ip.we should use this http://www.ateksoft.com/ >>cool camera. plz test it and find that can we change the ip off the pc that configurated in this program.

well the new beta skype has live webcam, maybe a matter of time skype will release a new better beta skype with webcam
but it would be awsome

the new version of skype that has webcam its only for pc i think and its version 3 but i am not sure

That cam on the front was a damned waste.

Well not really, it was only ever put there for video calling, which some people apparently use somewhere.
Nearly everyone I know has a 3g phone, not one person uses video calling though,

skype mobile does not support video chat. Pointless to post information that you haven't verified or can confirm.

Odd, I've got the universal using the front camera on portrait today.
Make sure you use beta 3.0 and soft reset after installing it.

Sounds like some Bull**** Buddy. Nothing personal, but I've tried about 20 different possiblities, including changing the registry entry for the cam that portrait uses and it does not every work with the video call camera, only the main camera on the universal. Further research has shown that there are almost 30 other people who have made posts in various different forums about this very issue with different branded universals. It seems that with the current version its not possible. If you really did do this somehow, posting more useful information about what else you've installed or what you've tweaked may help someone reproduce it. As far as Im concerned however, this Myth is BUSTED.

Exactly, thank you for confirming. I've written ms portrait support to add support for the secondary universal camera, but alas, Im only one voice. I encourage you all to go to the site and ask them to add this feature.

Front Video Cam

Happy holidays to everyone.
I live in India and I dont have 3G network to test the front video camera of my JASJAM. So downloaded the trial version of CoolCamera software and installed it in my device. Then changed the sensor to front, hoping to see some picture. However the display was black and no picture/video was displayed.
I contacted i-mate live support and was told by the support person that it is not possible to test the front camera without 3G network and that they don't support 3rd party software.
Could the problem be with the front video camera?
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

I have not heard this reported before. Obviously you can test the front camera without 3G using the CoolCam software.
I would hesitate to think there's a problem with Camera until I had tried Coolcamera several times and possibly even uninstalled it and re-installed it - i.e tend to think more of a software issue first.

Lost Front Camera Function
I recently switch my phone from the GER to WWE Cingular ROM, and once I did that, I lost the front camera function. I didn't load any of the extended rom files when I reloaded. Did it contain a cab that enabled this feature. If I please the button, it does nothing.
Thanks

Well as Cingular don't currently support video calling I suppose that may be possible- but I have not heard about it.
Let's see if someone else does
EDIT: in fact the following link shows a post by Rassah that seems to say Front Cam support is included with Cingular ROM. (Mind you he seems to have a mixture of different things there including parts of the TyTn ROM so ????)

you could always test it with microsoft portrait, its an IP based video calling software that is in beta testing, if you look for it you should be able to find it...
The video call hardware button will not function with any Cingular ROMS. However, video call capabilities can still be had if you load the TyTN extrom. You just have to be content with using the software button that's on the dialer app if you want to make a video call.
FWIW, even when the video button is working it merely does exactly what pressing the green call button does: bring up the dialer app.
As far as the front camera function itself goes, CoolCamera worked just fine for it on my TyTN (the image is rotated 90 degrees CCW tho...) when I was running the v1.31 Cingular ROM.
Thanks for the info, do you know which cab in the extened rom gives me that feature, or will I have to load them all?

I've tried 'Webcamera Plus' from Ateksoft to try out the security cam functionality and it seems to work quite well, not sure how good it is with MSN e.t.c, but there is a demo available.

There are a few threads here on it too.

thanks for the reply digital.diablo, but correct me if i am wrong, it appears that the webcam plus software transforms the camera function on ur phone (such as the htc x7500) into a webcam that can use for your PC, and not a webcam that can be used of the phone it self to have a live video conference.
is that right? if so, any other ideas?
thanx
Ahh, sorry, misunderstood what you were after. Yeah, Webcamplus is simply a way of using the onboard camera in your gadget as a webcam, so you could use it to video conference from your pc.
Not sure about your conferencing from the PDA though I'm afraid. Good luck on your quest!

thank you bilalperwaiz.
i'll think about it. i doubt my friends would be interested to install a new software just so i can use my video viewers. maybe there is a messenger service that connects to all messenger services and has the software support to video calls.
if anyone knows of such a software do share the info

Live messenger with intergrated webcam?

Hey!
A little question
I have UMTS , it's faster than gprs/edge
24 kiloBYTES per second
is it possible that i log on a program like skype or msn on my hermes/mdavario2/htc tytn or however you call it
i mean i go on msn or something like that on my phone and put on my 2nd camera (front)
and someone on the other side (pc) sees it! (visaversa)
(microsoft portrait doesnt work on hermes camera)
or does anyone know its on development r something?
kind regards
NO isn't working...
patrickjumpen: I've edited the title of your thread, from
"Live messenger with intergrated webcam!" - which suggests you have a solution, to
"Live messenger with intergrated webcam?" - which more accurately suggests that you have a question.
Do you see what I did there? Subtle, but effective, I hope.
Please try to use accurate thread titles.

Basically had the same question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322390 .
Portrait seems to be the only option, and it really seems to be under developement right now. Hopefully we will see some improvements for Hermes in the near future.
Did you try the latest version for wm5? 3.1 beta or so. Im sorry to hear that the cam did not work, that was the main thing I was looking for.

i-nigma reader on Mogul

I successfully installed the i-nigma reader on my Mogul and it SEEMS to work but after opening the camera and snapping the pic, nothing comes from it. Has anyone got the reader to work on their Mogul?
i-nigma.com if you are wondering what I'm talking about
I was playing with a business card OCR program and that didn't work with my Mogul because the camera can't focus well enough on something that close. The issue you're seeing is probably the same...
Anyone know if its possible to make the clarity of "macro focus" pictures better?

Since the phone is 2mpix, you're probably better off holding it far away and using the digital zoom to enlarge the area to scan. If the lens can focus, 2mpix is more than enough to zoom in on just the card before losing clarity.

Hi dragon_76
I'm part of the developing group of 3GVision, who develop the i-nigma. On Sep 07 the i-nigma application didn't work on windows Mobile 6 devices. From Oct 07, we started support WM6. Please go to www.i-nigma.com and install the new version, it should work now. Please feel free to email me impression.
Thanks

No need to snap with the i-nigma
The i-nigma work as scanner, there is no need to snap anything, just put the barcode in front of the camera and it will scanned automatically
i installed i-nigma on my wm6 t-mobile vario II.
It works fine, but the camera is flipped making it difficult to aim, (ie left is right and right is left, when in landscape. In portrait the image is upside down and up is down and down is up)
Anyone got this? and also, is there anythnig else on the site, all i get is the install link (when browsing via pda, work blocks the site via pc) could do with a help section, or FAQ.
Regards

What he said, I've had it on my phone for well over a month and it works fine without any problems. You don't have to take a picture of anything, it read the bar code as soon as it is in view.
It's a version issue. I had 1.26 installed, from my 6700 switch, but it was always buggy, often needing multiple soft resets, so installed v1.40, but have the same issue as the first post.
yup, 1.26 works on my mogul 2.17rom.

I Installed I-nigma on my mogul. Interesting program, nice to have. scans and decodes really quick. however i had the same "backward" issue. But u can fix it by editing the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3GVisionInigma\i-nigma\option
"PreviewDirection_31" = 0
change 0 to 2
it will fix the backwards camera. However it won't fix the landscape issue cuz the program wasn't design to operate in landscape mode, the camera preview won't rotate.
It's really worth keeping now.

No way I have ever found. Without headphones Skype on WM uses speakerphone capabilities only. I waited for Skype to fix this and the way the finally fixed is to drop support for WM all together.
Use this. Just route all audio to main ear piece before you start skype

Skype Cab
I have an old beta cab which seems to work really well.. I use it all the time and have no problems... Guess it never got released. See if it works for you.
Skype
I love skype on my winmo, and have used it often. Audio Route IS the answer that i have found, and it does work great.
One issue with Audio Route, is the icon in the taskbar is affected by WIndows Mobile 6.5.5, and the icon shrinks to an almost unuseable state.
Are there any other options besides audio route for routing audio to the earpiece?
Thanks,
Brandon
Wow is this topic really that dead? I would think using skype on oUr windows mobile is still one of the better claims to fame.
So does anyone know of an audio route device that pays well with 6.5.x?

skype?
Hi, i use idialer for googlevoice calls:
http://www.supware.net/winmo/idialer/
works pretty well (need to update your webview.dll file if you have a newer (6.5) rom. But it works for google voice. not sure if it would work with gtalk/skype
