MSN messenger app with frontcam as webcam ?

Dear all,
I have been wondering if there is an application with messenger, which would have hermes frontcam as a webcam. After a long search I did not manage to find any apps like this. (with this i mean an app, which is running on the WM, NOT on PC).
However I came across one opinion about the thing that it could NOT be possible, since the heavy need of processing of the cam. I started thinking is that right, how much processing speed does it need to run a webcam with like only few pictures per second and a basic chat app running on msn messenger standard.
In my unprofessional opinion that should be possible, and if it is, why isnt anyone else interested in this kind of a thing, and why its not available.
Please somebody, do that kind of an application so I wouldnt have to learn WM PPC programming just because to do that.
or alternatively, prove me wrong.

It is defenately possible. I use Web Camera plus and you phone will act as a perfect webcam. You can even choose if you want the front cam or normal cam.

Thanks for the cool info!
Unfortunately that is working as a webcam for a messenger running on a PC only.. Not for messenger application running on my Hermes itself.
Is this impossible, is this going to be my Alamo?

Ow, that i do not know. I'm not aware of an app that can do that, allthough i think it should be possible.
Maybe someone else can help you.

Im going to have to say that i doubt such a program exists or will exist.
MSN uses a lot of processing power to convert raw video into a streamed format.
Just because it is possible to do 3G video calls doesnt mean that MSN will use the same compression method.
What they'd first need to develop is voice calls through MSN. Not just voice clips.

hey, check out microsoft portrait, it has an app for both PC and PPC it is actually a development for voice/cam chat for portable devices, work on my wizard, however I don't have a hermes, so you will just need to try it and see, post back the results.

on my wizard it does have a drop down for the different cameras it detects, however the wizard only has one camera, so i believe it may bring up both cameras on the hermes

Cool stuff! Will try it out as soon as I get a internet connection.. Just now Im located in Netherlands (against my will ) without internet subscription and with horrible dutch 3g data transfer pricing.
Reporting back from Finland! The land of the thousands lakes and stuff..
---
sry for that.. just noticed that the file is actually under 1 meg.. so even I can afford that with stupid dutch pricing..

I tried to install it but i couldn't
I've got the last windows installer but the msi gives me a error message every time (i'm running a windows xp professional sp2)

I will try that out later tonight. Which version of WM are you running? 5 or 6? and which version of the phone you have? ..or maybe you ment that its not installing on your computer..

I mean that is not installing on my computer, if I transfer the file to my hermes, it doesn't work either.
Does it work for you ?
I'm on WM6 (Schaps version 3.54c)

Air Sharing for Windows Mobile?

First things first, I'm not new to the forum...and I apologize for creating a thread for this!
So I was in the iTunes app store for my iPod Touch and I came across this ultimately cool app: Air Sharing
http://www.avatron.com/products/
This program lets you use the iPhone/iPod Touch as a virtual drive, available with pw protection.
Do any of you know if theres something like this for Windows Mobile Phones? Or if someone is interested in developing something like this?

There are apps that will turn the PDA into a USB disk. I prefer just running a small FTP server on the PDA to dump my files via WiFi whenever I need to.
Now if someone could only port a SSH server as well so I could tunnel traffic though SSH, that be sweet.

really? Do you mind posting up the usb app or something like that?

it's called wmstorage i think the most recent one is 1.8 you should be able to search in dev and hack and find it

what type of device do you have?
wm5 storage works really well, also softick card export will show on pc as usb drive. but these are not wireless.

wow thanks a lot for all the suggestions, though the wireless part of air sharing is totally cool. I'll be sure to look into the suggestions tho
So does anyone know how to make something like air share? I have the touch, since I dont like the iPhone..(weird i know) but the touch uses wifi so it couldnt keep a stable internet connection all the time thus not allowing me access files on it all the time as well..
Any chances a developer out there would take a look into something like this?

a Friend had Airshare on his iphone,
he come to me, had my WLAn Key...
he startet Airshare, give me an Link (from his Iphone)
i write it to my Internet Explorer at PC, and TATA, i can download or Upload Files to the Iphone
needs some seconds Time, that i can Upload Files to Airshare
WOW WOW WOW
this is really cool
i search as well an Ap for WM like Airshare.

Bump this thread, very interested in an app like this, used the air sharing today on an iphone and would love to be able to use my phone as a wireless drive. Ive tried things like mocha ftp and can only send from phone to computer not the other way. Appreciate any help with finding an app for winmo!
Thanks in advance.

edit double post.

I use mocha and I can send from the computer to the phone just fine. If you're having problems doing that, try using a dedicated FTP client like FileZilla.

Here is my good deed of the day:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-serversman.html
I tested, checked for any issues and found none. It literally setups your phone as a server.
However, it a very little known app. Play at your own risk.

Very kind. Thank you for your speedy response. This is why I love XDA Devs.

OK. Slightly delayed response here... However, I'm considering switching back to a WinMo phone and ditching the restricted iPhone... However, I would like to ensure that I have the same functionality on my WinMo as I do with my iPhone, so I'm looking for similar or same apps before I make the switch... Looks like "Air Sharing" has a WinMo comparable app: www . mobile-stream . com / airshare . html ... Mobile Stream's "Air Share"...

Does the mobile-stream work for windows mobile to use it as a secondary monitor for computer?
also I notice its only for bluetooth. Is there on for just using internet ?

Text messages handler on (PC-) screen (like Soti pocket controller)

Is there an application where you can send text messages from your PC' monitorscreen while the device is hooked up via windows mobile center (active sync)?
I often use soti pocket controller (lets you view and acces your xperia on screen, great app for installing cab files and editing your device), but its just nog stable enough, sometimes the connections just failes on me...
W'd be a great help... (especially unlimited text messaging, you'd be texting like its e-mail!)
Btw, great site with tons of info... find myself checking it every day...

I know you can do this with Jeyo Mobile Companion, but I'm not sure if it works with the x1 yet.

thx for the quicky ;-) Downloading trial now... looks exactly what i need... Let you know...
Any other suggestions?

When I had a C902 I used an amazing application called My Phone Explorer, but unfortunately they don't work with Windows Mobile Phones. I know that hasn't answered your question, but will be watcing this thread as I am also interested.
I currently use:
MyMobileR

Looks ok, but works rather slow, when typing messages in the screen, the application often skips some letters, but still testing.
There must me other applications out there that can handle this. So ill keep searching!

I got an X1 as a gift, but I have a Macbook

Is there any way I can sync the two up even though they're operating on different a O/S? I'm not that computer savvy, so please, be easy on me. I tried plugging it into my Macbook using the USB cable, but nothing happens. When I plugged it into my roommate's PC, everything worked fine. But I'd like to be able to get my pictures, calendars, and everything else sync'd up to my phone, is it possible to do this with a Macbook? Or am I going to have to get rid of my X1?

Never used it myself, but I heard The Missing Sync is an ok option.
There might even be a few others. Here, let me Google that for you.

You can try Eltima Syncmate,
(I use it on my iMac)
They have a free version as well as an Expert edition.
The free version is enough to sync, but if you want to activate the expert functions (which are very handy) you need to buy a license.
Regards,
EqX

Syncmate is best in my opinion, buy the expert edition, its worth every penny, the missing sync gave me a kernel panic as soon as i plugged in my x1
i just wish SE would make a SEUS application for os x too

Thanks guys. What are some of the expert functions that the free version doesn't have? I don't really be constrained by having a Macbook of everything I can do with this phone using a PC.

There is a detailed list on Etima's site.
(besides, all the goodies that are expert, are also listed in the freeware version with the tag: expert, so you see what you miss).

This site is too good

You got X1 as gift...
Why i have no such relative? XD

heh, I'm just lucky I guess.
I downloaded syncMate, but it doesn't look like I can access the phone's memory through my macbook. Is this possible?

Well mate if you have an installer of windows xp/vista, you can install it in your macbook using bootcamp. its easy to install and yes you will used to for your x1 without any hassle.

What exactly do you mean with "phone memory"?
You can attach your X1 as a drive to your mac, and it will appear as a disk.
Or you can sync contacts/iCal/mail/etc in any way you wish..
You can even browse the sms conversations (expert)..

EqX

I only have the basic version, but it doesn't let me browse the contents of my x1 on my macbook. I plugged it in, and it doesn't show up as a disk, nothing shows up at all under my list of devices when I plug it into my macbook. Do I need the full version?

Nah, you probably set the device to connect as drive, you need to let it connect through "activesync".
Eltima will start up as soon as it detects a device.

Stable and reliable app for viewing Android Phone Screen on PC?

Hi all,
I have used mymobiler and another one (cant recall) and find none of them reliable. Needs reboot of the PC or some different kind of circus to see the phone screen on the PC.
I wanted to make a youtube video showcasing few themes etc.. but unable to find a reliable app.
What do you use in here, whats a good one that i can use?

look for "phone screen sharing" in samsung apps. there you'll find the mobile client!
there are also versions for all kind of PC's "floating" around, as normally the PC client is only for certain samsung models.
otherwise this tool works great!

Is your phone rooted? If so, I use VMLite VNC Server.

Just wanted to add, VMLite VNC Server works without rooting. Regular Note 3 works just fine, you will need a free desktop program to start the server, though. Once vnc server is running, you can use a vnc viewer on pc to view and control the android phone, and record a movie. etc.
