front camera hermes - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi,
Does anyone has the same problem? When i'am trying to video call someone, my front cam doesn't work. I see the other caller, but he don't see me.
I've tried different roms
Also with coolcam the front cam doesn't work
If you had this issue, and you solved it, how?

You must activate video call at your network provider befor use video call. If you use a prepaid method, maybe your provider did not suport that users.
Call your provider and check.

Well the above might be an issue but it does not explain why cool camera does not work. There are some existing threads on this:

T-Mobile UK and Video calling on MDA Pro

Hi all,
I've had my MDA Pro a few days now and I'm really impressed with most of it (except the size, I still can't quite get used to it's wider dimensions...!) - the screen is AMAZING and is one of the big things stopping me going back to a QVGA screen!
I've tried video calls on it - BUT - they don't seem to work.
I've had a mate call me from the "3" network and it worked fine - we could see and hear each other without problems.
When I call him however all he gets is a "incoming call" notification (and not an Incoming Video Call notification) and all he hears is "digtial white noise" - ie, the sound of a FAX machine!
I have had 2 and 4 bars when I've tried making calls, but only 2 bars when receiving so I know I've got WCDMA coverage.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Between my wife and myself we have the \jasjar and MDA Pro and on different networks. No problems at all! But I have experienced this exact problem before when I had a Sony Ericsson V800 and called a relative on '3'. He could call me no probbs, we saw each other and everything. But when I called him, white noise for him but notification that he was receiving a video call.
Bottom line: It was never resolved so I took the phone back. Try a video call in a t-mobile shop, if it works try a video call in say vodafone or with someone else. This will tell you if you're phone is faulty or wether the '3' network is truly incompatible with some phones/network providers. Or PM me with your number and we'll try a quick 10 second test both ways.
Thanks for the offer - I might take u up on it later on...
I've got some gibbon from tech supp calling me today to try and sort it out (I think he mentioned something about not pressing the little "turn video calls" button)
If that doesn't fix it then I'll be swapping numbers with ya!
Cheers
I have also had problems going from O2 to THREE with video calls...
I managed to call an Orange VIdeo phone and we both got a picture, they can hear me, but I get no sound
Calling from THREE to Orange works fine all round.
I couldnt get O2 to THREE to work at all.
Is there a general problem with network incompatibility here?
Video calling from T Mobile UK to any network is fine, as long as both partys are setup for the service, and have 3G coverage. and both handsets are compatible

Enable video calls - Cingular 8525

Hi,
I've bougth unlocked Cingular 8525 and connected it to My local operator which support Video calls.
There is any option to enable video calls? (install tytn rom? or some extended rom)
Thanks ahead,
Omri
Same here
spv 3100 from orange, aku 2.3
r1.16.00.00 G32.53.7018.01h.
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

Video Conference

Hallow,
I have a Tmobile MDA Vario-2 device.
Is there any program out there that allows me to do P2P video conference using the front camera of the device to a PC using msn or skype? I have access to 3G and HSPDA in holland.
msn mobile and skype dont support video on the mobile version.
Thank you for your help.
Regards
llavon
I'd also be interested in this - anyone?
Try to use this:
http://www.tivi.com/
Let me know if it is working as my phone is back to the shop for reper.
front camera doesnt work
Tivi works but the front camera doesnt. You have to view each other alternately if you both have hermes. Does anybody else know of a way.

No video call button X1a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just received my X1a, I am with Rogers Wireless in Canada and get good 3G signal with my X1, but there is no video call option in phone menu. I have video calling plan and so does the other party. When I put my sim card into my old Kaiser, everything works well. Anybody has any suggestions what the problem might be? My rom version is 1.02.948.8, radio is 1.06.25.24U
Thanks in advance
I'm sure this is a reg hack that will open this up.
Does Rogers have full 3G? They might have kept video call out of the X1a considering no North American carriers have the entire 3G network capabilities yet. AT&t is getting there, supposed to launch within a couple months.
the x1a has the front facing camera so I'm sure you CAN enable this somehow on the device.

Video calling enabled
Hi, I have an X1a here in Australia. It works just fine - except that the video window is too small to be useful. I am on the Telstra NextG network (850Mhz). I have a previous post asking how to increase the video window display size, but no respondants yet? Can anyone help>?
Cheers,
Peter
This is already being dscussed in other thread
Video-call is a missing feature only in the NAM ROM (northamerica ROM)
Everybody else has video-call in the dialpal, even th LAM ROM (latinamerica ROM) has videocall
Nobody has prepared or extracted a CAB file yet, thus, if you want videocall you can flash the UK ROM. I have tested the X1i UK ROM myself on X1a and eveything worked fine, AND the dialpad incuded the video-call button and settings
Beware: yes the dialpad had video-call, but I didn't make any "actual" test call
I thought that the X1a did not have the camera on the front (one side of the earpiece) and so because of this video calling was not possible???

Who can help me???? Please!!!!!!!!!!!
HTC Touch Dual (NEON)
I think this is the problem of 3G service provider.May be the network is conflict or there is something wrong in connection.Did you contact to customer care of sim card provider company?
Thanks for the help.
but I didn't contact the sim card company, because my parents use the same company, but other phone, and for them it works fine.
What else could be?
Thanks
Anyone?
So... is there anybody that can help me???
