videocall now works i can do video call but camera don't work only recive video from other but not send video as there is problems the tp2 dialer does not recognise the hd2 camera , please i wand developers help
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
No, the HD2 don't have a forward facing camera and HTC has better things to do.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
the first nokia 6630 only have back 1.3 mpix camera and it was capable of video call
[HD2 General] ratsalad:
How would you see the other person if the screen was facing away from you? :confused:
[HD2 General] quasi_mojo:
you'd have to carry a compact mirror...

like a woman...

:D
[HD2 General] madbird:
rofl... thats a very good one XD.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
no need to make fun of me ,iam not playing here

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 :D
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
dual post .................
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
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.
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
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.
[HD2 General] rich_13:
Basically there is so little demand that unless HTC were getting hammered with requests I doubt they'd do something about it.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
can we do it by our selves (take drivers and activate it) ,and does any one tried activating it
[HD2 General] mbalun:
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
[HD2 General] Tokolosh:
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
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
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
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
OH OK! NO NEED TO SHOUT!

naa I joke you :)
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
:D:D:D :D:D:D I wasnot shouting i , forgot to close the cabs lock
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
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.
[HD2 General] mila1909:
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:(
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
have you tested it and you could make video call ,or only we get the option without being abled to be used and how to return the original dialler
[HD2 General] C:Sharp!:
I can not try it. Nobody does video calls here.

You can uninstall it if it doesn't work. But it should work.
[HD2 General] jnlinh:
No video call on HD2. with other phone has no font camera i can get video call on it but not on HD2.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
good news videocall works , but i only can make video call but the camera doesnot work i only see who iam talking with but he cannot see me ,i think rohidum dialer does not recognize my camera,if only we could make reg edit to make it recognize my camera ,i need your help please ,
[HD2 General] ahchu:
can some body help to make the rohidum dialer recognize our HD2 camera??

pls help .... we really need it ...
[HD2 General] kilrah:
To me there is very little point in making a video call to see the other person's face.

I know him, most likely see him every other day in person, so what's the point of just seeing a face?? I've done it once and never tried video call again.

But to show the place I'm at, some item, show the person how to do something, video call would definitely be useful.
[HD2 General] troed:
I don´t miss videocalling. On one hand ´cause You need 3G connection (and according to Murphys Law when You really need it You don´t have it) on the other hand it´s costly since my provider charges extra fees for this .......
[HD2 General] rahulmaindargi:
I am from India and Recently buy this phone.

I installed the cab, and looks like video calling works fine.

However Battery meter has stopped working.. Even on Low battery the Home screen Symbol looks as if ti fully charged. also Battery drains Too Fast.. 100% to 10 % in 5 hours... previously it was working for 2 days for such a drain.

I tried to uninstall it. But un installation says all compenents are not removed.

Even when I Soft reset Device. Nothing has changed. Video calls still work and Battery meter does not work.

I do not want to Hard Reset Phone.

Any one can please help me to uninstall it or to fix Battery Problem?
[HD2 General] aLlamaWithARifle:
I hate how everyone says that it's pointless to have video call with a back facing camera only, I'd atleast like the option to do a video call. So many times I've been on the phone describing something, it would be much better if I could just turn the camera on and show them.

Sure I wont be able to see their face but I don't care I've seen their face many times before. I just like the option to show things to people.

I hope this does get finished, nearly all other phones have the optiobn to do it so I'd love to have it on my phone
[HD2 General] rahulmaindargi:
Please help. I love video Calling too.. But battery drain is unbareble.

PLease help ? any Regristry changes will do ?
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
could you make your camera send video ,as it seems id doesnot work for me it make videocall but sound only ,and recieve
[HD2 General] rahulmaindargi:
I would try to capture video of video calling and then upload it. In India 3G serverces are just few days old, so video calling is not so common yet,

but do u face Battery problem on ur phone? Have u tried to uninstall it? was it successful? was u able to get old Dialer and status bars?

If yes. Please let me know.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
iam sorry to say (NO) I had to hard reset it cannot be uninistalled
[HD2 General] rahulmaindargi:
I am kind of newbie here. :(

If we hard reset The phone. Will the programms installed on SD Card will work as before? :confused:

Or Will i need to reinstall SD Card Programs again too :confused:?

:mad: I hate Hard Reset :eek:
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
you will need to install them all again (sorry again )
[HD2 General] slayerns:
does sending video work?
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i just don't get it why HTC left video call out of this phone... it's 2010... wake up!...

oohh... what a nice phone... i'll make a video call to your super mega extra phone... ... aaa... you know... i know i paid big bucks for it but it can not make video calls....

let's be honest... just like iphone not having at first the mms!

just like a mercedes or a bmw without, let's say... electric windows on the back... you barely use them... but still....
[HD2 General] rahulmaindargi:
No It does not work on HTC HD2.

I think I dreamed of it working. I tried to Video call many times since then,, Even tried to get Video called.. but its unable to connect.

Further more, installing app freezed my battery Indicator, network indicator :(

You can not uninstall it.

You will require to HARD RESET your phone to get it un-installed.

Sorry for the bad news.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
it worked for me and i made video call but i only recive video cannot send
[HD2 General] daiash:
i dont know about other parts of the world but video calling seems to have died a slow death in the uk, it was all the rage when 3g first came about, i can officially say that i dont know of anyone that uses it anymore, i only used it a couple of times a few years ago on my sony ericsson w880i and p1i
[HD2 General] ei05035:
Here in Portugal it has died pretty much as well. Although what most people tend to forget is that it makes the phone usable for deaf people, as they used to only be able to send and receive SMS. Still, it has its advantages, but the major disadvantage is the need to hold your phone away from you (tends to be unconfortable) and either you use a headphone (which requires some previous setting) or make the call using the loudspeaker (not that useful in the middle of the street). I always thought it was more of a proof of concept than anything else.
[HD2 General] tom0_1:
i own some 3gcams for surveillance, working with video call. so, its no problem for me that the camera on hd2 does not work.

i installed the cabs provided by C:Sharp!. the video call buttons are available. and i can do a video call. the call window on hd2 keeps black, and the call will be interrupted after a few seconds.

please could you give me the rom version with receiving the video stream is possible?

thank you
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
it keeps black because it cannot identify the camera of hd2 ,lack of drivers
[HD2 General] tom0_1:
thank you for your quick reply. since i am not a native speaker, maybe i could not come to the point. so please appologize that i ask again.

i know, no outgoing video stream because the lack of drivers from the hd2´s cam.

a few posts above you wrote

that means maybe you can initiate a video call on hd2 to another device and you see the picture from the other device on hd2. thats all what i want. so if you got managed this please give me a hint how to get this, too.
[HD2 General] d_a_n_71@hotmail.com:
I have tried to install with exact steps you instructed but I still can't make the video calls.

I have HTC HD2 and I have installed this app on both HD2 (mine & my wife's).

every time I try to make a call it gave me the error of "Failed to make video call, what do you want to do?"

I really appreciated if someone could help me get this to work since I have to travel a lot. I really wanted to see my baby boy with this video calls.

Best regards,

Dan

P.S. you may email me the tip to d_a_n_71@hotmail.com
[HD2 General] Wildcopper:
Take a photo, send a MMS - problem solved.

Not wanting to sound harsh, but maybe you should have chosen a phone that is equipped with the right hardware for video calls then...
[HD2 General] troed:
Try this one:

http://vzochat.com/de/Download.aspx

works nice (though I needed only once for transmitting surgery details)

Still have my old HTC Touch HD Blackstone with Videocall. Last time I did VC: 1,5 yrs ago and it was crappy since 3G reception was bad.

*EDIT*: IMPORTANT !!! Always keep in mind that Videocall VERY OFTEN is not cross-compatible with other devices: e.g. You can´t videocall someone owning a crapphone - sorry - iPhone or make a videocall from a wm device to a symbian-device since there is no strict standard for videocalling or providers do not allow videocalls also by different protocols. E.g. the only one I would really like to videocall once in a while is my best friend in Germany and although I have the HTC Touch HD and he has the same device it´s not possible between my provider in Austria and his provider in Germany.

The best solution for Videophony would be to get a Skype-client for WinMo devices (which will never happen) or a google talk client for WinMo (which also would not happen so far)
[HD2 General] zorro101:
it is possible that the problem about sending video is only the resolution cam?

if set to low, it's work?

thanks
[HD2 General] ReganH22:
Which makes absolutely no sense if you're trying to show someone how something is operating. I had to do this at my old job all the time. They had to see how a specific machine was operating and we used video calls a lot. You obviously cant gain certain info from a still photo, so while you may have no use for video calls, others may.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waleed786:
Press "input method', or go to settings and enable something about "input method"
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redesignni:
You need to goto Settings > Locale and Text then Find the keyboard you installed and make sure there is a tick beside it. Hope that helps.

[General Questions and Answers] ryonnn:
hey, I've been having random problems with my tilt kaiser with cfw 3.57htcks.

the touch screen will stop working altogether, and even when it starts working, it randomly starts pushing the lower left button on the touch screen and opening it to whatever it is, such as all messages, send, send, send, and keeps going. I'm not sure if it's a firmware problem, or a device problem -_-;
[General Questions and Answers] ryonnn:
I've even soft resetted, hard resetted, and just getting through the calibration screen took long enough, and it STILL doesnt work right.
[General Questions and Answers] ryonnn:
update- the touch screen no longer responds at all.

Which is lame, since I haven't fooled around with it.
[General Questions and Answers] linucu:

[HD2 General] donwhann:
hey guys, im thinking of trying the demo on the market place for spb shell but just need to know a couple of things first. for those who have it, whats it like?, are there any issues i need to know about and is the install straight foward. i have my phone set up pretty sweet using mods from here so this has to be worth the hassle....its just spb looks nice, i need to try it. thanks for any advice.......
[HD2 General] Qais55:
I would like to know as well
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
In my opinion, SPB mobile shell is very good.

It's HIGHLY customizable, there are lots of themes and icons available for download.

SPB replaces your default UI, so if you miss HTC sense, all you have to do is enable sense on the today's menu.

It's definitely worth looking into.

It looks nice, It works damn fast, and with right themes, it'll give you the perfect "Android" look you(someone) always wanted.

I mainly use HTC sense, but I do use SPB mobile shell quite often as well.

But to be honest, spb mobile shell is more of a fun toy to play with. real fun, though.
[HD2 General] Qais55:
I would also like to know if it is considered illegal to download a copy of spb shell without paying. I don't have a problem paying especially with seeing how things work but I was just wondering if they're asking for a donation or pay to be able to put it on your phone.
[HD2 General] Springdale:
I think it's good, but not better than HTC Sense.
[HD2 General] baam2k:
yeh its good , better yet its the best app for wm.

it works better then sense for me.

i already use it since my touch and it works great .

customize the way you want verry easy.
[HD2 General] nim:
SPB always offer a 15 day trial so you can give it a test drive :)
[HD2 General] wilcovh:
On the site of SPB you can download a trial. this is legal obviously. as far as i know this will work for 14 days.

have used mobile shell for a long time. fully customizable. in that view better than sense.
[HD2 General] bartveld:
SPB MS is in my opinion the best shell available. But you should take some time getting to know it and customizing it to your liking; if you're looking for a quick setup you may be disappointed. Take some time and fiddle around with it and you'll end up with a wonderful shell. And, by the way, SPB have very good customer service!
[HD2 General] Seg2009:
Try googleing SPB Mobile Shell 5 and then have a look at some videos. Shell 5 isn't out yet, but looks absolutely fantastic.

Shell 3.5 works well for me, but I always seem to revert back to Sense UI. You could always look into Throttle Launcher, I have this too with the WM7S theme for it.

Try em and see what you think, it can't hurt to try.

Seg
[HD2 General] DN41:
yeah, spb shell is really nice and looks great.

but imho, nothing can match HTC's Sense ;)

[HD2 General] donwhann:
thanks for all the replys guys, gonna take a look this aft......
[HD2 General] Qais55:
yeah thanks guys :D
[HD2 General] patcooke:
Used spb 3.5 - waiting for spb5

I used spb mobile shell on my hd1. Since getting the hd2 I've stuck with Sense but when spb 5 is out I'll definitely be trying it - from the reviews and previews sounds like I might be replacing Sense with it.
[HD2 General] passavodiqua:
I prefere SPB Mobile Shell and I use it.

IMHO is more customizable.

;-)

[HD2 General] kevev:
I am running SPB on my T-Mobile HD2. I disabled Sense. Most of the bugs I have had with my phone were caused by sense. Go figure. The phone responds faster now and seems to have better battery life. I am guessing it is because of the widgets in Sense.
[HD2 General] simeezee:
Mmmmm, maybe I will give it a try. One time I had to hard reset my phone because my hd2 wasn't able to launch htc sense.
[HD2 General] donwhann:
as much as I like spb iv gone back to sense.ill defo be trying 5 when its out though. wouldn't it be great if you could flick between the two with a button press, or did I miss something.....?
[HD2 General] jchoong:
Sense 2.5 + Cookie = much better than SPB Shell 3.5. I was a SPB user on TD2 but gave it up when I upgraded to HD2.
[HD2 General] shthpnz:
I have Laurentius V3 on my HD2 for speed and up to date apps. And use SPB Mobile Shell over it. IMHO a combo can't be defeated:)
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
IS it compatible with 6.5.x?

Can the icons be customized like those in Sense?

This is something I have not seen addressed.
[HD2 General] nieves53:
i must say i love spb mobile shell, but it does not run at its best on the (tmobile-us) hd2. i have use spb on, kaiser, touch cruse, diamond, pro, pro2 n even glofish x500 and the carousel is much faster in 3D..i even try chainfires patch which does make it better but not the best.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I suggest you try DEMO first and see if it works for you... I did not like it on Windows Mobile 2005 before - definitely would not put it on HD2 as Sense is all I need :)
[HD2 General] Raven78uk:
Sorry for off topic : where is otion to disable sense?

Nice

I think SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 is awesome! It gives a little Android-looking system. Looking forward to see Mobile Shell 5. Looks great! :)

1024 Leo, USA T-Mobile version.

It only happens with incoming email, SMS and calls are fine.

When I try to reproduce the problem, I simply have to wait for the phone to check for new mail. The the phone notifies me about new email. If I try to turn the screen on, it won't. The hard button lights up, indicating the phone is on but I can't interact with the screen. Resetting the phone via the red button is the only remedy.

If I act real fast when new mail comes, sometimes I'm able to start sliding to unlock but it still crashes. If I'm really fast I'm able to even get to the mail screen but it still crashes.

But the crash does not occur if I'm already using the phone when new email comes in. If I want to reproduce it, I have to leave the phone "alone", with the screen off. If the screen is on when the new mail comes in, the crash does not occur.

The problem started occurring with completely stock phone, the very first day, without making changes. As I cab tweaked the phone, (no ROM) the problem persists, it happens.

Because of this problem, when I wake up in the morning, I can't use my phone because the screen doesn't turn on and I have to restart the phone so I can use it. My mail send/receive interval is set for 4 hours so while I sleep the phone receives new email at least once.

I investigated similar problems for TP2 and Touch HD but it does not help.

I backed up everything on my phone so I'm ready to make changes if you have any advice. I checked for: changing the email ring tone, wake up on new email setting. They have no effect on this problem.

After this happens, I tried calling my phone. It will not ring, but the hard buttons light up but are unresponsive, I can't neither pick up nor reject the incoming call. I sent an SMS to the phone in this state, it didn't do anything.

Do you have knowledge that can help me? Is anyone willing to try to reproduce the problem on their phone?

All you would do is set any ring tone for incoming mail, leave the phone with the screen off and "wait" for new email to come in. Don't do anything for a minute and then check if the crash occurred.

Please help, I hate waking up to a crashed phone that I need to restart every time. Because of this problem, setting a wake up alarm is useless.

If you can't help with this, at least is there any way I can "force" the phone to restart without removing the battery cover?

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bczrx:
For all of you with extended batteries AND WM6.5, can you tell me how well they work [and which battery/ROM combo]?

I remember reading a few posts about the Mugen 4500 mAh and the 3xxx mAh batteries requiring the owner to remove the battery and reinstall it after it turns off, as the phone doesn't measure the amount of charge left properly.

Is this true in your experiences?

What about the HTC/OEM Extended 2150 battery? Does that require a battery removal to get the phone to recognize and use the full potential?

I have the Sprint Stock/OEM 6.5 ROM that just came out, for comparison purposes.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I have the Tilt 2 on TPC's latest 23544 build and the 2150 OEM. It's the only extended battery I've ever had that doesn't require the "battery trick" (remove and reinsert battery).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] momulah:
I just received my htc oem extended battery and I placed it in and there are no notification lights while charging. Now It is charging while powered on and I can see that in the taskbar above with battery icon, but as far as the hardware light(red or green depending on status) it is not lighting up at all. I know its probably not a rom issue since its an extended battery, but it is the only htc oem extended battery made specifically for the tilt 2. While the phone is off I cannot til if its charging so if there is anything I can do to try and correct it please let me know.
