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.

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.

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.

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.
I have been searching for the best and most usefull apps and came across a real nice digital compass. Of course there is no reference to if it will work on an imagio or not. All the forums say "we need actual compass hardware" for them to work. Sorry I don't know the correct terms better. but does anyone know if we can get a real compass on this thing
this is the one I'm talking about :

Here are two...try both! I know Its not the same exact but these both have extra features.
on the HDspeedo you may need to click "ok" several times b4 it loads, other than that they work flawlessly!
so does the htc imagio have a digital compass, i saw these apps for the iphone on bbc click online call augmented reality AR apps, and was wonderin if the imagio would support them once they came out for the windows mobile 6.5, if you dont know what im talkin about go to acrossair.com , it would be awsome if AR apps worked with the htc imagio/wm6.5...

No, the HD2 don't have a forward facing camera and HTC has better things to do.

How would you see the other person if the screen was facing away from you?
you'd have to carry a compact mirror...

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

I got it to work with the ported android on my hd2...but there is no front facing camera so its a little pointless but still cool...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I can make a call now but I cant get the camera to work for the video part. I'm running Energy Sense.
How can video calling work on the HD2??
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Utilizing the camera. You would just have to turn your phone around. I have done it with the Vibrant and its just neat to have and to play around with.

Or hold the camera towards ur face, then the LCD is looking at a mirrow.
Too bad no one makes a USB camera for the HD2, like some I have seen. Then
the problem is solved.
BTW what phone model did you select to download the Fring.?
It was a cab file that I found and downloaded it. It didnt ask for the type of device. It looks like its for the android base though. I havent been able to get the camera fixed. I woukd like to get this working. If you know the correct file can you steer me in the right direction?
Do any one know method of having manual camera controls like manual focus,etc like on S6 without rooting the device.
So far, almost no devices have manual camera controls save for the Nexus 6 and, apparently the Galaxy S6. Not until the Samsung developers update the camera api will we get those features.

Camera FV-5 and Manual Camera both have support for manual camera controls, but they don't work unless the device already has the Camera2 api implemented. We're out of luck until Samsung decides to throw us a bone, so to speak.
Yeah I really want to try this feature.. Hopefully they will bring something out soon
