Video calling with the Exec on Crossbow - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Firstly, I nearly typed "Strongbow". Hmm
Secondly, got CROSSbow ROM on and works great. However, no video calling. I actually like the new keypad etc so I was wondering if anyone had got it working?

3g Video Call Problem

Hi, I have recently upgraded my XDA Exec tothe latest ROM version 1.30.107 WWE. I went into the extended ROM to install the cab relevant to video calling. The video calling button now appears but whenever I place or receive a video call on my phone I can see myself and the other party. But the other party cannot see me. It can't be drivers as the cam works for me to see myself. Anyone any ideas as to what it could be?
Regards

I search for info about missing video calls on wiki and forums, only what i found on wiki is:
Is the Extended ROM a must, or can I live without it also ?
You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (video calling, skins, keyboard, operator settings, etc...).

...nothing more in hermes section, on forums also nothing clear response usualy same problem without no response
I downloaded different skin phones including original htc tytn and in HTeakC i turned on phone skin. When i turn on thc tytn skin video button is on the same place what speed dial and that double button is flickering.
More: when some one is trying make video call to me phone goes out from sleep and..... nothing. Other person hears only signal of waiting....
I also didn't had smart dial, but that thx to wiki wasn't problem.
But I didn't made any hard reset. If I would have to probably i will go directly to wm6, soon there will be xda-live3
If you have a Cingular 8525 you DO NOT have video calling. The 8525 doesn't have the front camera that is needed for video calling. Sorry
I know that i dont have front camera
But i ask if i can add video call's feature so i'll be able to see the other side or use the back camera.
Thanks,
omri

Some of us are having this exact same problem after upgrading to the LVSW WM6 roms. Don't know why as some others with exactly the same setup are saying that they work fine!
I wonder if this could be network operator linked instead?
edit: sorry, im using a TyTN and on T-Mobile UK

Roger's disabled video calling in TyTN? Fix?

Just was curious if anyone had a solution to how I can enable the video calling feature in my Tytn.. Rogers wireless disabled it for some reason. I dont want to upgrade to WM6.. just to enable video calling in WM5..
DO i need to copy a cab file from another EXT_ROM?
Can i just copy the cab file over and that is all???
Help please!
Does Rogers even support video calling? This may be why they have disabled it in your Hermes!?
Yes they do.. since 2 months ago.. I have a Samsung A706 with video calling enabled ( been using it for 2 months )... I think one of the tech guys told me that the TyTN wasnt certified yet for the network... However I know people using unlocked TyTNs on Roger's and their video calling works fine!..
The rep pretty much said that they disabled it so they wouldnt get a million tech support calls asking why sometimes they can video call and sometimes they cant..
Flash a different ROM to it then see if it works?

I presume that you are referring to a Rogers-provided TyTN that you just got in the last week or two (Rogers just started selling the TyTN -- just in time for HTC to end-of-life it!) These are being shipped with WM5.0 AKU 3.3.1 (I believe). Likely they just disabled a registry entry on the units they are providing.
I can't test it for you because we don't have 3G in the Ottawa area (yet).

Video calling only works on Vision ready phones only
actually no i am using video calling on my softbank X01HT. HTC TyTn is suppose to work with the video calling feature. u might need to unlock your phone and get a new ROM for it to make it work if it doesnt
Are you sure its disabled? or they just won't let you add the feature on your phone? even when i got video calling put on my plan, the guy said they don't support it for vid calling, I told them to load it on anyways and if I lose $5 I lose, he put my phone down as a samsung a706. I would try to add the feature online and try...of if u just want to test it, and ur in the GTA, PM me the number and I will test it with you.
I know people that got it working on the TyTN but billing was all messed up and they got charged as if it were data or something.
Yeah I thought rogers may screw something up...but surprisingly they didn't do that bad...they charged me for text messages that they shouldn't have...but other than that everything is good.

I had no problems adding the vision plans.. I havent got them yet.. monday should be the day. So if i have the vision plan on them..it should work right? does Rogers actually disable the front facing video camera??
Kinda confused now lol.. was under the impression that the video camera was totally disabled..
Rogers disabled video calling from the firmware. Only way i can see around it is to reflash. I upgraded mine to WM6, and Vid Calling is working just fine.
Has anyone checked to see what Radio Rom Rogers released with the new TYTN
I was on another post and somebody was asking how he could upgrade to his buddys rom v1.42.00.00. His friend just got a new TYTN from Rogers.
That would be a radio rom and not an OS and the guy was made aware, but regardless I was just wondering if there is a new Radio Rom out there that Rogers has released with this new product.
if only you asked a few hours ago. I just got my TyTn tonight, but upgraded everything as soon as I got home. I can check tomorrow when i get to work (i work in a rogers store) if no one figures it out by then.
u mean you will check it out to see if it has video calling on wm5 when you get back to work??
What wm6 rom seems to be the best/most stable

your cooked wm6 rom that you loaded (according to your profile) might not have changed the radio.. MOST cooked roms do not include a radio and the phone will use the existing one.. just go to start > settings > "System" tab > Device Information and it will list the radio version..

Video calling not available on unlocked Exec

I bought an unlocked O2 Exec off eBay and inserted a T-Mobile SIM but I don't see a video calling button in the dial application.
Can I video call? If not is there a way? If I installed a MDA Pro ROM would it work or would it brick?
Hello =)
I got mine from ebay with no video calls also...
If you dont see any video call bottons or settings in your device it means your rom is not updated to video calls.
One senior member told me there will have a very nice and upgraded one in around two weeks so just wait a bit and everything will be o.k
I am posting a link to the latest rom.
still with no video calls but I assume the next one will be around the same forum.

Have a nice day =)
use a WM5 ROM.the newest from Tmobile is very good.or maybe the previous owner disabled it because he doesnt need it.tweak the registry,u can fid it in the wiki.

Need help with my new TyTn

Hi, I've tried searching about this and I'm really confused.. I hope someone can help me..
The video calling function is not working on my newly bought TyTn (I'm with Rogers right now), and I'm wondering if it will work if I upgraded it to WM6 (It's currently 5)?
Also, I can only find the upgrade for AT&T8525 on HTCs website, is TyTn the same as 8525? Or I can't apply this upgrade to TyTn? I'm afraid the phone will just stop working altogether after I upgrade it...
If anyone has any experience in this, please help me out.. Thanks alot in advance!
TyTn an 8525 are brother and sister. 8525 does not have the front camera. For a ROM upgrade, you're better off with one of the roms put together by the fine cooks here on XDA.
Video calling will not function unless you have a good 3G service.
Thanks for your reply!
Rogers provide a 3.5G service so as long as I upgrade the ROM, Video calling would work?
but do I need to get Rogers settings somehow transfered to the new ROM?
I want the answer too! can someone please help..
To be able to connect to 3g and the like you will need the operator settings.
Have a look through here and see what you can find.
