Has anyone been able to use the 7500 to run a video conference. Not just a one on one call. But a true Video Conference.
Thanks,

If you're referring to the use of the Athena's camera over WiFi for a video conference i'm looking for a solution to this as well. Some software that accesses the camera and let's you do a peer to peer type of communication.
If you're referring to the Video call feature, I don't have 3G here so I haven't tested this feature.
Microsoft Portrait should be able to do that, but I haven't been able to get it working with the front facing camera, so it's a bit pointless at the moment

ltxda,
Yes, this is exactly what I am looking for. I will poke around MSFT Portrait and see if that does the trick.

I tried portrait not ling after I got my Athena. It would only use the back camera and that was upside down! It would not offer the internal camera for selection.
Haven't tried under WM6 though!
Let me know if you have more luck!!

I tried it under WM5 also and it totally sucked. Wasn't worth the download. If you guys try it let me know. Way too slammed right now to play with the phone.

Hi guys,
Since my Universal is dead I've just brought an HTC Tytn.
There is any way to access the front videocam? In Universal you just need to go to camera app and choose the front camera, where you can take pictures and make videos.
In Hermes camera app you can only access the 2.0mpx cam... I've already installed Coolcamera 1.5b and I still can't choose the front VGA videocam.
Any suggestions?
Tks
Phelipe
PS. No 3G networks available in Brazil, so no videocalls yet...

I had same problem, but some folks have said coolcamera can access front camera - maybe someone can let us know how it's done with coolcamera?
Mike
yup coolcamera let's you access it, you just switch from main to frontcam, you can take pics and all using it.
photo / settings / sensor / front
If you go into settings there is a setting called "Sensor" ... you need to change that from 'Main' to 'Front' and then it will capture from the front camera.
Hope this helps

hi
it's possible access to front camera without use coolcamera?
thx
I can use the front camera now with coolcamera but the screen is 90 rotated to the right. There is no way which I could correct this even if I change the rotation setting. Can someone help, please?

Yeah. I get that too.
Also, Probably me being dense, I can't seem to get the web cam to actually work on my pc.
I can set the IP address in the pda to that of my PC. The port is 2047 on both devices, but nothing seems to appear.
What am I doing wrong?

Difficult to say. Presume ypu have used d-pad or jog wheel on device to select webcam mode. Presume you have started the coolcam software on your PC and a coolcam window (which is expandable) has opened on your screen with instructions as to the next steps to take. And finally that your active sync connection is live. Sometimes I get the window on PC coming up blank/black in which case I close PC application and restart it.
The little 90 symbol on screen should rotate image. If not and restarting does not make it work, I think I'd reload the software.

On CoolCamera forums support said that the rotaton issue is a bug they're aware of and will fix later. Nothing you can do for now.

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.

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!

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.

i wouldn't second this. adding a contact with quickmark resulted in a "," behind the name and a "h" behind the number.
i-nigma does add the contact on a right way.
Re: use back camera

anyone know how to video chat with HTC HD2 i tried but says error.?
Where is the video chat option on the HD2 (you're using the t-mobile version on t-mobile.. right?)..
Can you use the front camera (even without the video chat)?
I'm curious about this too.
How do you plan to video chat with a phone that has no front camera?

that would not be a camera. those two things left of the ear piece are sensors. One for light and the other is the proximity sensor to turn the screen off during a call while the phone is next to your face.

better question is... "how did he try, that it gave him an error" ha! lol
some people just dont take a moment to analyze things before they run asking questions...
It seems that its easier to run and create an account on XDA, create a new thread, type it out and wait for a reply than it is to seach google or yahoo for the key words... "video chat HD2"
btw you can video chat with out the front facing camera i use to do it all time on my tp2 using qik its just very annoying wen you have to keep turning the phone wen you want to look at the other person and wen you want them to see you.
