Internet live camera - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hello
Is there any soft and possiblity to use built-in camera from bluangel to stream video directly in realtime to PC via USB, BT or Wi-fi.
regards

There is a program for nokia phones to do this i think its called "s60".
I did ask on here a year ago if there was any software to do the same, but i had no replies

Hi saganov,
maybe this might be interesting for you. I once had another program, but I couldn't find it yet... :?
HTH,
BGK

Nice Prog! What is does is it takes pictures form the camera and uploads them to an ftp server. I've allways wanted to be able to do this The HTML for the site doen't work very well, but i've used some java aplet for refresh and made it work. Vewy kewl! gracias

hmmm, I'd assume you are talking about the second software option from the top and not "s60", can you share that java applet that worked for you in smoothing comms ?!

Send GPS SMS

Dear all.
I found in my Eten X 500 an application I like much.
It is called locations SMS. You can look for your Coorsinates and send them
via SMS to others. ( I.e. for looking in Google Earth )
Best regards

Tested on HTC P3300 and works well. At least gave me some co-ordinates. Now to check with Google Earth

The X500 also has an application called 'Skype Switch'. From what I understand this enables Skype to be used by the front speaker used during normal tleephone calls, not through the rear 'handsfree' speaker. Can this application be used on the Artemis? Maybe it can be posted in the download area if it works.

Hehehe...I know and I tried to get it on the run on my XDA ORBIT.
No, it doesn't work with our cerll phone. I can post it, but that is traffic for nothing.

GPS tracing on google earth?

I should be getting my new artemis tomorrow. Im off on holiday soon and im hoping that when you take a picture there is an option to log the gps coordinates so you can tell where I was taken. Maybe you can even import them into google earth????
If this isn’t possible maybe there is some 3rd party software. Or any other good gps tracing applications??
Soz if this has already been covered, I have had a look at previous post!!!
There are lots of apps which get GPS coordinates. These are mostly for some Bluetooth GPS devices as diagnostics software. The German .NET Magazine dotnet pro had an article about getting GPS coordinates. If you are familiar with .NET programming you could write an additional GoogleEarth export.
Alternatively you could look after some ready made tools.
Im really surprised that nobody else wants to do this on a pda especially as the Artemis has a built in gps receiver!!!
!
I have since learned that this is called geotagging and some digital cameras with now embed the gps coordinated onto the picture. Web sites like http://www.panoramio.com/ which make a kml file to view your pics in google earth.
At the moment tho i have to find these coordinates by using picasa 2
and using their geotag option but you still have to find the location manually on google earth
download picasa here: http://picasa-server.com/?s=yp_uk&OVRAW=picasa 2&OVKEY=picasa 2&OVMTC=standard
It would be so much easier to be able to just take a pic on the Artemis and have the coordinates automacally embedded on to the file!
Any new ideas????
I heard that the Dopod ROM has this feature (geo coding). So solution for other ROMs yet.
im quite happy with my rom at the mo, dont wanna mess about with it. But if thats the only way i might have to look into it
Here is the solution to activate the gps photo on the Artemis...
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\
create a new folder called P9 and then
"ProfileName"="GPS Photo"
"MainCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"Enable"=dword:00000001
"2ndCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:00000054
"MainCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:000002D4
"2ndCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040
"EnableRecLimit"=dword:00000000
"RecLimitSize"=dword:0000005F
"RecLimitedType"=dword:00000000
"EncodeFormat"=dword:00000003
"CaptureFormat"=dword:00000002
"Property"=dword:018013BD
"CaptureType"=dword:00000008
"ProfileName_0409"="GPS Photo"
or you can import with Resco the attached registry file.
Some friend tell me that they have on the registry the folder P9.
In this case you must only change the registry value Enable from 0 to 1
That is awesome, great that this can be done via registry. Wonder why htc disabled it per default.

Yes. This is correct when the last ROM you updated from was the Dopod one.
While we are at this let me share my findings:
1. You can improve the camera pictures (at least if you uped. from dopod rom as I did) by going to the ext.rom with total commander and running the cab CP_061025_P800W_CamAgentCab.enus. The pic quality of the plain PDAMobiz rom is worse than the htc or real Dopod one, with a yellow hue
2. The radio rom is not updated, so it inherits that of last ROM before you went to the PDAMobiz one
Cheers
anyone done this yet? im just about 2 try!
It works!!!!! if you upload your pics to http://www.panoramio.com they will then create a kml file to view in google earth!
Cheers guys!!!
Yes, it works!
If you start the camera application,m you have to choose a different Profile in the left top of the screen.
Choose the Camera-sign with the cross, so the phone tries to get a GPS-Fix.
If the fix is established, you can make a photo.
But is the any other possibility to use the new information in Google Earth as panoramio?

Im not sure what question your asking?
I read the lat and long of the picture with an exif reader and use it in Google Map
It works in my P-3300. Thanks
just finding at the mo its about 100 meters out!!! anyone else found this?
Very GOOD!! but...

I've tried this and suceed to take photos. But how and where can I see them geo-referenced??
if you download googles free picture viewer/editor in properties you will find the coordinates. make sure that you have selected the gps mode on the camera it will flash up searching for gps signal.
GPS-mode in camera works great, thank you very much. However I've lost vibration function for incoming calls, probably coincidentally, but I'm not sure.

For the vibration function try to see in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script
you must have in the script a v with a number i.e v2 means vibrate for two second, or v0 vibrate always...

GPS Capture

Like many of you i am sure an attraction of this device was the GPS function.... now i was wondering does anyone know of a program that can use the GPS to record the longs and lats and dump them to an xml file when a button is pressed? For example i take a photo, it has a timestamp.... i then take the long/lat with this program and save it to an xml then when i get back i can link it all up and then plot it to a map where i was and what it looked like... Anyone? Or even an automated way to take a GPS location save it to an XML and link it to a photo for example.
But really what i want as a barebones is just away to press the screen and dump the location to a txt or an XML with a line or so of writing so i can link it to what i was doing or where a location is.
Anyone?
Would anyone find this useful or is it just me?
For GPS exif data take a look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292560
ok then that looks great howevs does anyone have a fix for making the minutes in lat and long differ? or have any info on a possible fix or another program?
Its the seconds that appear to be the issue, not the mins
strange though with the HTC Artemis P3300 it works fine but with the O2 XDA Orbit or the T-Mobile MDA C III it messes up, not found anything as yet to address this though - Mike

Check out the GPS Tuner website. http://www.gpstuner.com/
They also have a free program called "Map Calibrator" which I think does what you want.

Hmm i wonder can anyone extract the camera app and stettings etc of the P3300 to try it on the XDA/MDA?
And Mike you are right im sorry it is the seconds that are just coppied between each other.
I doubt the GPSTuner application can do this functionality, what we are talking about is embeding the Lat/ Long information directly in to a photograph taken with the onboard camera, its a nice application though all the same.
The GPS Software is the same on both the HTC P3300 and the MDA C-III (if you check the Exif info it lists them as 29.29.9.9 on either device - not got direct access to an O2 Orbit to check).
The Camera versions are the same but the Build number is different (24865 on the HTC P3300, and MDA C-III is Build 24724, will have to try "playing" around a bit more - Mike
If anyone wants to help, I've been putting together an application to fix this long/lat camera issue on the Artemis/Orbit
So far I have the following working
1. monitor a given folder on the device for new jpegs as they are created
2. query the satellites for the correct GPS long/lat values
3. update code to write to the EXIF GPS values for a given JPEG
I have a mixture of C# and C++ code, which I need to combine into a single application.
If anyone has C# or C++ skills and wants to help, then please PM me and I'll share what I have so far
I've also posted this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1217400#post1217400 post #54
Ah that seems to be a great idea i will eargerly await any info on it.
I still hope that HTC fix this issue would be a great not to have to use additional applications.

HTC TyTN Cam's

Hello,
Guys pls help me ... I've one question Where i can select watch 1nd or 2nd Camera ???? or maybe on this shap's 4.20 ROM camera select program doesn't exist ?
Tnx
i would also like the answer to this!
i believe what the original poster is trying to ask is, is it possible to take pictures with the forward facing VGA camera at all?
I may be wrong but the front camera can only be used for video calls, it's only 0.1Mpixel anyway so I can't imagine the quality would be up to much even if you worked out how to.
..and does anyone know if it can be used for skype video call?
thx a lot!
No, it cannot be used for skype video. After all NO mobile device is supported for video calls in Skype.

Except for Mcrosoft Portrait there is no IM program to allow for video telephony on Pocket PCs so far. Maybe in the future

On a PC, yes, there are programs for turning Windows Mobile device into a webcam - like "Mobiola WebCamera".

This cam version lets you choose between cam's. It doesn't have the best cam quality, but it works.
Try coolcamera.......you can use both cameras for taking photos......also works as a messenger webcam via USB (And bluetooth).

Please do, I would love to see. My x01HT is having an issue with the VGA camera, it doesn't work with webcamera plus, coolcamera, or the GPS camera cab. I think it is unpluged as yours was. Is that the one you had not working? Plus it would be half cool to paint it too. Thanks!

well it's vga, and yes it's not so good in term of quality but it's a handy feature for some people...
and to think about it, trinity has the feat... so how come hermes cannot...? there should be way around to do this...
i mean, if vijay can lit the flashlight with certain commands without turning on the camera... then the camera switching may be possible too
don't u think?

Front camera with skype?

I don't know if it is the right place to put an idea or suggestion...sorry if it not
the tytn1 have a camera in the front, but it can be used only by VOIP calling, so it is possible to make a program or some change in hte configuration or in WM that allow us to use this camera in another applications (for example messenger or skype). I don't know if it is possible or not but i don't know too much of programs.
thank you!
Walter
(PD: sorry but my english is not good)
hm nice idea.
I´m also interested in ! Is it possible to make normal photos with the front camera?
On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.
