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..

Last week, T-Mobile offered me, to make a (so called) upgrade, which means to extend the contract for further 24 month and to get a new device/mobile phone (for low cost). Starting from October T-Mobile offers the old 64MB-MDA with Windows Mobile 2003 in German. The new MDAII will be available at the end of 2003, they said. So I hope the new software (WM2003_DE) will soon be available on T-Mobile's Website (http://t-mobile.de/mda).

Its realy sad that t-mobile is not activly promoting the xda/mda here in usa. infact... most store workers know very little about it here.
i noticed o2.uk even advertise it on tv!
here... even the 24 hours support staff dont know much, they just replace with new unit everytime a software problem arouse.
believe it or not, this is my FIFTH ppc replacement!!
altho i HAVE figured out how to fix the dead media player problem,
they have not! but i still send it back every few months... for a 'scratchless' unit
if they are too dumb to know their product, i dont think there is anythin wrong with using their warranty to my advantage.
anyway... thanx for the reply
Sending it back?
How do you send it back? You call tech support? Give us a play by play, mine has some scratches on it too....
here is what happened.
first for real, but then i abused their ignorance!
my media player stoped working. when i launch it. it closes immediatly!
i called their tech support... they had me reset and try stuff, but nothin worked. so, naturaly, they'll say, we'll send a replacement.
but their replacement developed the same problem, and they
couldnt fix it. not over the phone anyway...
well after 3 replacements... i found out that it was fonix voice dial, and/or viavoice doin it, they were assigning functions to 4 keys, when xda only have 2 usable (calendar and contacts)
so.. media gets lost and closes.
you have to a registry editor to remove the 2 extra key assignment and that will fix it..
BUT! to get to the point... call and tell them u have this problem
and they wont be able to fix it. they'll just replace it!
make sure u reinstall the old 2002 that came with it.
not that they dont know that u changed it! every time u hard reset the device, it sends an SMS "[email protected],version #, date/time"

Does it really do that? Heck just take the SIM out when you do a hard reset.
HAHAHA
Really if they know that then they must have TONS of HTC Resetd from me.
interesting.
I updated my unit to a ROM kitchen version and frankly..
I helped somethings but I still have problems.
Im really waiting on the XDA II.
I hope we see it soon in the US.
Im on my 5th unit also..
But Im actually having problems.
I thought it was T-mobile or something but I got a T610 and I have two sims.
When I have problems calling out (voice or data) I immediately try with my T610. (guess what... no problems)
Im not sure why Im having such bad luck with the units..
maybe its the power supply..
they said they would send another..
I havent seen it yet..
hmm
gotta run ..
I need to call them
BeDammit!
So I got my new phone yesterday and decided that I might as well activate the new SIM that came with it, since mine in almost 4 years old, and I didn't upgrade it the last time I got a phone from them.
Well here we are 16 hours later & my phone will still not connect to the network, and my old SIM and been disconnected. So I have no way of making or recieving calls. Before I activated it I tried my old SIM in the 8125 and it worked fine Even without installing any of the Cingular Extended ROMs.
I guess I will have to go into a store latter this afternon and have them work it out.
Also when I went to install ActiveSync It wouldn't let me because I didn't have all of the service packs installed in XP. (I am using an early edition, and keep the updates turned off) so it took 2 hours of downloading and installing updates before I could even sync.
On the up side, I was able to CID unlock it and upgraded to the custom ROM that summiter posted, Installed Reg Wizard, Total Comander, and Weather to Go. I am also able to use WiFi at home.
Next things to do are Get the dam thing on the network, then install a VoIP client so I can use my Broadvoice VoIP on it. then decide on a GPS program and get that going.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks to all of you for giving so much info & Help.
I wouldn't change any thing to do with CID unlocking or the ROM till they fix it. You could end up in one of those situations
You: "it wont make calls."
Them: "you changed the ROM (unlocked cid), that's why it don't work."
You: "Id didn't work before I did that."
Them: "Well it voids your warranty."
You: "but..."
Them: "Bend over, we're drivin'!"

The problem was the SIM card they sent me was bad, I went and got a new one and it works great now.
Hi,
Does somebody have an idea if there is an existing patch for the telephony part of Hermes300 to support Alternative line service (ALS). This service is used by some providers to put trough two different numbers to ONE sim card. At Nokia mobilephones you can usually switch with the "#" key betweend 1st line and 2nd line. But on the Hermes I couldn't find anything like that?
I would be very gratefull for each comment on that!
Regards,
snyfer
I would really like to know about that too
Known as Line 2 on Orange UK. I'd be interested about this too...
I was told by a few HTC reps that they were aware of this issue and it should be fixed in the next ROM update. This was last year Septmember. I do not know if this has been fixed in the latest 2.0X ROM that have appeared in the last week or so. Anybody want to give it a try?... OK, I'll be first then.
Wam7 - can you tell us the HTC reps you've got this information about their awareness of this issue. - Can you give us a link to the ROM Update you were talking about?
I asked HTC support today and they told me:
"The HTC TyTN does not support Line 2, so you will be unable to make use of this function on the device."
and
"At present there are no plans to enable this in a ROM update.? This may be a future update but we cannot confirm that."
Does anybody else need this feature or does anybody have the slightest idea of how this can be implemented?
Pat
@snyfer
Sorry I did not take a name though they were definitely aware of the problem and said it was one of the two main problems they wanted fix on the phone - the other being bluetooth related. They even told me that using a 64k Sim that the phone would make calls from Line2 though in coming calls had to be on Line1. This is exactly the way it used to work in my phone.
The ROM I'm refering to is the Cingular 2.06 one, which at this moment as I type still available on via the WIKI. Have not had time to try it yet but I have my doubts it will work, but nothing beats knowing for sure.
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.
Can someone who lives in the US with AT&T and has the video call working with their rom help me out? I wanna test the video call feature...
gtrab tried to help, but it didn't work over international lines...
shoot me a PM and i'll give you my number or you can give me yours...
Thanks!
no one? lol come on!!
This is a MAIL CALL for any US ATT user !!

either flash the UK R2A ROM or use gtrabs 2 cab files and SIIIIMPLE instructions to get it... it SHOULD work.. i just wanna make sure
I beleive AT&T only supports video sharing which is different than video calling plus you need to have video sharing on your account with at&t as it will be blocked if you dont but dont think thats gonna matter anyway when its not video calling. Hopfully at&t will jump on the video calling wagon soon! I visited my family in britan this past summer and even my cousins piece of dump flip phone had video calling! Come on USA...
before i flashed the UK rom, my NAM rom said "this feature is not supported" when i tried to video call...
Now with the UK rom, it doesn't, but i don't have anyone to try with... well, until like tomorrow or friday... it SHOULD work... all you need is a 3G connection which i do have, otherwise it'll say "you do not have a 3G connection" and will offer to make a voice call
I remember my old imate 9502 had video out of the box and when I was in a 3g area, the video call icon would light up because it detected 3g. I tried to video with a friend and it always failed to connect on a 3g network using at&t and that was because at&t did NOT open ports for this to work properly as far as I know. Please, someone prove me wrong because that would make my 2009!
I will find out either tonight or in the next few days... i'll keep u posted man... this would def be ground breaking for the US
Sounds good.
@itsallsubliminal:
Please keep me updated, we should test BOTH the UK ROM solution and the CAB solution

absolutely bro...
for some reason... no one on here is willing to test with me... one guy offered and then never returned my pm...
Been doin quite some reading and I'm losing hope the more I search... it need to be carrier authenticated... we will see tho... isn't it just data sent via 4g network? i don't get it...
