Video VOIP application available?

Is there a VOIP application with Video support available for Windows Mobile?
The new Skype still doesn't support this.

Yes there is, tivi uses standard SIP and VOIP protocols, you can for example call someone on other sip accounts with tivi. Also take a look at the following post.

Don´t forget that most providers don´t want this and most sold cellphones ar bought with a contract of one of these providers. Furthermore, some providers in europe don´t allow VoIP via 3d/HSDPA. So there is simply nearly no market except for some nerds like us
As your providers hotline would answer: "Simply use the build in video-call"

Well, regardless of what providers may or may not want, this question is still about the software.
Nobody can forbid me to use Wifi (hotspots) to use this functionality.
And I'm definitly looking towards the future. I believe video communication is going to be a standard.

So were we told around year 2000 as UMTS/3G came on the table. Today it works but nearly no one uses it. I don´t think it will change with VoIP in the mobile sector. People don´t want it.
...
OK we do like it. But even we don´t need it really. It´s just for fun. The other thing is Vid-oIP from Netbooks to hold connection to People (loved ones) who are maybe overseas.
For example, Apple irgnored these function completely when construction iPhone 2 (3g). So their analysts came to the result that the marked is not interested.

Deadbeef, yes I am also looking for this kind of application, sitting in a cafe and video-chat with other pc-skype people...

[Q] Dialer in US ROMs?

Has anyone actually tried copying out the dialer/phone app from an international ROM and putting it into a US ROM? I did a quick search of the dev and general Tab forums and haven't seen a mention of it.
Is the limitation for not making calls in the modem or kernel, or is it just the lack of the software?

I *think* it is just the lack of software.

Interesting. I may have to look into this, compare an international ROM to the stock AT&T one.

Are either of you actually reading these forums?
The AT&T Tab has already been hacked to make calls.
The TMo Tab can be made to make calls, but you'll lose 3G.

Dave

It's been tried. So has just flashing the modem. Neither worked.

Yeah I've seen those posts, I was just just wanting to see if there was any way to do it without having to flash another ROM onto my Tab. I'm guessing it's pretty deeply ingrained into the framework or something.
(Mainly wanted to ask because my quick search did not pull up results of retrofitting Phone capability into a "crippled" US ROM)

I dont know if this has been pointed out before but in my tmo tab when using root explorer and I look in system/app all the phone apps are already installed. They are just being blocked, is there a way to modify them to work?

The dialer is there and I think it is installed but is disabled somehow. Trying to bring it up just displays a message on the screen saying the dialer application is not supported on this device. I would be very interested in just modifying this ROM to re-enable that feature so flashing the EURO ROM isn't necessary. I am sure someone will figure it out before me but I am looking into it too. I am just so scared of doing stuff with this thing because for some reason it feels like uncharted territory and I am afraid of unknown consequences. Once the dialer is working a simple IMEI and serial number change will remove any restrictions on T-Mobile's end.

Do you have an SPT box? You need the hardware this isn't a pure software solution.
http://www.sptbox.com/Products/Default.aspx
And it isn't cheap so I haven't decided whether or not I want it that bad. But I have been reading their forums and this product can in fact change the IMEI and serial number. It has been tested as sucessful on just about every GSM model of the TAB there is.
I just realized this is all way off topic. The OP is talking about enabling the dialer software and not changing the IMEI. Lets continue this in another thread.

Mixing KB1 Phone.apk and JS3 Phone.apk for Network Operators?

As some of you know, all Captivate ROMs are Flawed by AT&T, but have Audience chip.
If not my passion to use all the features of the device i have, i would go to JS3, or some other ROM.
But I need a feature to Select 2G, 2G/3G, 3G modes in Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators.
Can anyone teach me how to mix APKs or can do this for me?
I am already looking to differences in de-compiled APKs, but i see i might, and will, make errors.
Also i feel like i have a bad knowledge about Signing process of APKs....
Anyone to help?

Good luck with that. Really not sure how that works or if it works at all. But you can use this program to sign your apks's with. Hope that helps.

Mix them. See what you get. Don't forget to include PhoneUtil.apk as well. If it doesn't work then you ll most probably need framework change and audio libs replaced too. But if the audio libs are not compatible with the rest of the system then... theres not much you can do. Why don't you just wait till the audience driver is implemented in i9000 kernels/roms?

Why don't wanna wait? Cos it requires not only porting a kernel, but also modding Phone*.apk and libs too to i9000 rom

A lot of us are anxiously awaiting for this but I'm not sure how much effort is actually being made for it. If I were a DEV it would probably be number one for me now as IMO this will be a huge accomplishment. I know icezar definitely has the smarts to do it. But people not is the USA that has never experianced the chip's call quality do not know what they are missing.

No, the fact that it is only available on the AT&T version of the captivate.

Hm... Okay, but why people HERE using the captivate don't wanna port those features to i9000 roms?

First, in order to get the audience chip to work you must use the KB1 modem.
First and foremost, that kills HSUPA, which in my opinion helps data to the point of screw the audience chip.
But, to continue, if you use a KB1 Modem / kernel with an i9000 ROM, the audience chip is enabled by default, and will function you just cannot turn it off. Since the software for i9000 is unaware of this feature the kernel never turns it off, thus the modem uses it and you get the benefit, but with NO HSUPA.
So I suppose the bottom line is that if you want that audience chip, you may as well stick with stock or simply use cognition. Cog is the best of both worlds imo, as far as "fixed from ATT stock broken" and added features.
For me, I dismissed the audience chip long ago in favor of HSUPA..

but with NO HSUPA.

Video Calling App

Just realized the stock dialer doesn't have native video calling (that I can find).
What are some good alternatives? I'd like it to be a fully functional dialer / contact app as well.

I am a proud oneplus fan since the first device but recently due to some circumstances I used a Xiaomi device for couple of months. I bought a oneplus 5 and was disappointed to see no video calling. The fact is that we pay for the internet for 1, 2 month or 3 months plan depending on our usage, similar to the plans now being offered by Vodafone and Airtel as well.
The only difference is that Jio provided unlimited Voice calls (over LTE) which other carrier don't (They have started now, but 300 minutes per day is the limit which is reasonable. But the calls are over 2G network only)
The video calling feature that people are dying for is actually a call made over the LTE band. Even if you disable the Mobile Data & Wifi, it works. It works regardless of internet access, which is a very handy feature to have.
The video call will work as long as your LTE network is in range. Now tell me, who won't love this?
You can make a call across devices like Xiaomi, Samsung & HTC, etc.
Please look into this concern and help.

In the US, this "native" video calling isn't in high demand. Everyone on Apple uses FaceTime, everyone else uses either Skype, Duo, Hangouts, etc.
Google is making a big push on Duo. The latest Google Dialer will supposedly support Duo (just Google latest Dialer).
Whatever Dialer you get, it will likely not use your native networks video calling feature. You may have to look into custom roms.
The stocked texting app doesn't even allow for single thread group messages, either!!

On all my Mi volte devices, there is video call option in stock dialer.
Just found Op5 does not!
Well others are suggesting duo, Whatsapp etc., thing is they all use data... While video call on jio, as I was using.... Needed not to activate data.

I use WhatsApp, everyone has WhatsApp unless they've been living under a rock.
free and stable.

A very good video calling app which you can have a look at is: R-HUB HD video conferencing servers. This is easy to use plus offers 30 way HD video conferencing.

Verizon wear24 any way to unlock for use with other carrier?

I just picked up a Verizon Wear24 for cheap. I'm a Project Fi user and would like to get rid of the verizon crap on the watch and link it more completely to my phone. I'm new to Android Wear but not to android. Is there a way to unlock AW and flash a more stock ROM?

The SIM actually comes out in this if you take it apart enough. You can replace with any SIM of your choosing. The real problem is that the phone is limited on bands as it is just LTE band 13. Let's say you succeeded in adding bands, you would still have an issue entering APN settings as this menu is restricted.

Without root you cannot add any bands. i did this with my tmobile lg g3 back in the day. while complicated it did work.
Has anyone rooted this watch?

Adding bands to qualcomm you must patch rmt-storage or any modifications to the bands will revert
then you have to enable APN menu as adding new APN is disabled on this firmware.

Since this watch was available at $80, a lot of people jump in to get one. Hopefully with time we get more developers to be involve. I'm looking to replace the bands. As of now I don't care about LATE. But I wish we can enable NFC for Android pay

For now you can just disable the Message+ app in System apps. Also disable the cellular radio.

Interesting approach, wonder if you can still send and receive texts with Message+ disabled?

Bt is phone audio. I'll do a reset see if that helps. Hope so because it is a nice watch. Maybe we will get stock wear it soon and have the full potential unlocked.

Tried the reset but no change. Everything seems to work except the mic. Google assist also does not work for texting with ok google. Watch is solid tho.
