Since I'm norwegian I'll see if I get time to test/translate the tip this weekend...

Awww awesome man! Thanks
I travel around alot, so only having one device would be very handy

I looked through it and fihured out how to do it. Howver I will tell you right now, in any language, it is not worth the effort.
Howver if you are going to do it, I suggest using
Pocket Controller-Professional as aposed the free microsoft app, MS app sux.
Also the Soft Cam App also kinda sux...
But i guess its better than nothing.

It doesn't say wizard supported (im on cingular 8125) but it does say magician, i have yet to get this to work. Best of luck to others on getting it working.

CoolCamera version 1.11 works as Webcamera on HTC Wizard (and other models).
Download:

I confirm, sup2006 is right! The last version of coolcamera finally does it, you can use your wizard as a webcam

great!
this works pretty good... too bad it only works for 25 seconds for the unregistered version... does anyone have the update or whatever to make it the full version????

Well, PCP has been tried and all I can say is:
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Its ace and if you are willing to spend cash, then this is it.
LOL, its excellent, I have no idea about most of the features as I have just used it for 10 minutes and went straight for the kill with the remote camera.
Actually, I say remote camera, the entire device is remote, you just see on the PC what is on the device screen.
Definate must.
The one drawback I can see is that it doesnt work if the device is in standby. i.e. One press of the power button. Coolcam works so I don't see why this doesn't, but hey, I'm not complaining,

Secondary camera usage?

Hi all,
I am contemplating purchasing this ppc but i wanted to know if the secondary video call camera can be used by MSN to make video calls using the WIFI.
This would be amazing if i could,
anyone knows please help
Thanks you

the pocket msn doesnt use the camera at all

I have an X7501 (no front camera) but I think Microsoft Portrait will allow video chat. Here's the link:
http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/

Wow thanks, i will check it out
This might be my next phone afterall

I read a little further on this software and it seems to do everything i need it to do. it appears that i can use the secondary camera for video calls using this software via WIFI or wap connection as long as its fast enough.
You can talk to others on MSN and create video chat sessions by only sending yours, or requesting other users, or both way so both participants can see each other.
Thanks again for the link!!!!
This app should work for all PPC's although i am yet to try as i have not had a chance yet.

Doesn't recognize camera
I downloaded the MS Portrait 3.1 beta but it doesn't recognize the camera.

X7500 Front Camera Envy?
I have the X7501 and now that the X7500 is down to $960 on mobileplanet, I am going through "front camera envy." The more people who tell me this feature is useless in the USA, the better I will feel.
Is anyone using the front camera in any way here in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter)?

The camera is for videoconferencing in 3G technology.
In the middle of the conversation you can change the image you are sending from the front camera to the rear camera so you can show the person you are talking something in front of you (back of the X7500). For sample when I'm talking to someone I can show that person the landscape I'm seeing. Or if some one want to report a computer error just change to the rear camera a point it to the PC screen and shows me the error.
I don't know... there are many samples where videoconferencing is a good posibility for the X7500.
I wasn't aware that the US taste of HTC Advantage, the X7501, got no videoconferencing.

mahjong

Very few options for videoconferencing in the US. I've been searching... Is this built into your cellphone plan?

Good point ,mahjong. I know of a car body dent touch up guy who asked his prospective client with video conference phone to show him the dent and give quotation over the phone without having to physically travel to their house to inspect the dent.

Man I'm from Europe and I'm not aware about how cellphone systems works in the States. Sorry.
In my case, in Spain, the 3 mayor providers got data plans and videoconferencing is considered data connections so goes in that plan.
But I can tell you at least in Spain and I think in the whole Europe since we share the same 3G technology (called UMTS) the videoconferencing on cellphones is being used much and much more everyday.
Now the European providers are instaling 3,5G technology called HSDPA which give you more bandwidth on the same prices so I guess video calls is a winning bet.
UMTS is 384 kbps and HSDPA us around 3.6 mbps bandwidth, just for you to know.

I feel your pain. For a "world leader in technology," the US seems to consistently fall behind the curve. But then we have to make sure that our big telcos can extract maximal money from the consumers while delivering minimal service.

does it mean it wouldn't work with the front camera? i'm trying to decide if i want to get the 7500 or 7501.
has anyone else try this?
thanks

you all seem to have missed the true purpose of the front camera, shows your ages
it's obviously so you can see when you're trimming your nasal hair...
video conferencing, phooey! what will they think of next?

Heh, what a great idea... I've been meaning to buy a new shaving mirror, now I don't have to!
(I'll be on here next week, complaining that i dropped my Ameo into a sink full of soapy water....)

they better release a secondary mini usb cam for those x7501 users without the front cam.

video call cam??

can the video call cam be used for anything else?? and can it be used with skype?

Wouldn't it be just utterly splendid? But no, no other function is possible at the moment. And with WM6+ it's useless as a video call one as well. Damn shame..

well that just sucks balls.

Unfortunately, there is no 100% implementation of VC in WM6 ROMs. If you want to go into semantics, you could say partially working (sometimes/in some cases etc) VC is not completely useless, but until it is worked into the ROM properly, I say it is.
Incidentally, have you managed to actually read the thread?

You can use it as a virtual mirror (in camera app), ha ha!!

the benifit of videocalling is not to see your face only ,you may need to show some one a thing when shopping or doing any thing before doing it ,video conference is only one benfit of it

dual post .................

There is very little point in video call without seeing the other persons face.
I understand where your coming from with needing to show someone something.
But I've never ever needed to show someone something that badly..
It would be nice, but we'd never use it.

I agree, plus, if the other person can video call (Which is also expensive), they likely have a phone that will accept a picture message or a video message that our HD2's can send (And with good quality results too, better quality that front facing cameras too).
Without a front facing camera I can't see the point either.

Basically there is so little demand that unless HTC were getting hammered with requests I doubt they'd do something about it.

can we do it by our selves (take drivers and activate it) ,and does any one tried activating it

The SE W950 which didnt have camera at all had video call.
the person that cald you coud see your picture, an you could see his/her video stream.
is it pointles, I dont think soo

to show someone something i can put the call on hold, take a picture -> send it via mail/mms, and then carry on talking. hence, no need for video calling

ON MY REGION IT IS VERY CHEAP TO MAKE VIDEOCALL THAN SENDING MMS videocall is as expensive as normal call on my country ,so better for me to havevideo call

I wasnot shouting i , forgot to close the cabs lock

Here is how to do it:
- install "HTC Dialer disabler (MS Dialer enabler).cab"
- soft reset
- install "Rhodium dialer.cab"
- soft reset
Now you should have the video call option in your dialer.

Here in Macedonia we have cheap video calls and indeed it's cheaper than sending mms. As I work in one of the mobile operators I get unlimited video calls for free. So I really miss it

Here is the ooVoo ooVoo.apk

Here is the ooVoo.apk for anyone intrested in trying this out.
This is a Video Chat program.
I have tryed it out. I made a video call from windows to my Vibrant with FFC. The voice works but the video does not show up on either device.
Please post if you get this to work.
I believe it is very popular with high school and college ages because ive seen my cousin and BIL use it.
This does not require to pay unless you want to use more than 1 to 1 calling.

whats oovoo?
