3G Video Call Problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi There, I have an XDA Executive and have recently upgraded to the 1.30.107 WWE ROM. After the upgrade, the 3G video calling function disappeared. I read some instructions on the Internet and found out how to get it back using a CAB located in the extended ROM. This brought the function back. However when I place or receive a video call, I can see the other person and myself on my phone but they can't see me on theirs. Any idea what could be wrong?
Regards
Ashley

maybe you also had to run a cab file from the extented rom which was a driver for the cam
is by best bet

Don't think its that as the camera is actually functioning when I place or receive a 3g call I can see myself and the other party. Its just they cant see me.
Regards
Ashley

A couple of Questions after WM6 Upgrade

first of all I'm in Australia and conected to the 3 network, I've upgraded to the Black 2.0 rom and Radio 1.38.00.10 all is working well.
I have a Dopod 838 Pro
Question 1. instead of the U when I'm connected to 3 I'm getting a H is this normal, I get the normal 3g when not recieving Data.
Question 2. When I use to get an Text or Email I would get a Voice promt,
You have Mail or You have Message, I can no longer find them in the notification settings.
and before anyone says anything I Searched and Searched.
There are better people than me to answer question 1, but question 2 - the sounds would have been part of your original ROM, and aren't included in the one you have now. The files you're missing are just sound files that would be in the windows directory, so if you can find the files, just copy them there and they'll appear in the notification options dialog box.
If you post you ROM here, someone with that ROM may come along and help you out, otherwise you could try googling for something similar, or you could even record your own with your device!
Question1: Basically H is short for HSDPA which is 3.5g network. Much faster and better. When not connected to the web, it would just chew up battery (I'm guessing) so well done your phone is now compatiable with the faster network.
Question2: As Paurockliffe said. Those were sounds files part of the old rom. I just upgraded as well, and the misses loved those sound files. I wish I could get my hands back on them for her, but i'm not in the mood to flash again and strip the sounds... Maybe might give aussie3g.com a whirl.. someone on their forums is bound not to have upgraded the dopod yet...

1) Your problem seems to be just wrong icons - this has been reported heavily for WM6 ROMs, there might be some fixes around.
2) As said above these sounds were part of your original ROM. Sounds are stored in Windows folder by default so you are free to dowload/use whatever sounds you like. You can assign sounds and notifications for many actions using Settings >> Sounds and notifications option. You can even record and use your own notifications.
Thanks for the quick replies, now just to find some witty alert sounds.
got mail n youve a message attached.. hopefully...
Your icons are fine! As previously said, when your device sends and receives packets of data on a 3g cell that is upgraded with HSDPA, your icon changes to an H to show you are getting the faster data service.
simon_darley thanks for the files, and Unwired thanks for the advice.

Tytn - WM6 - Video Call

I Have Tytn. I Upgraded the rom from WM5 to WM6. I used schap rom, and the official rom as well. Before the upgrade process, i had no problems with vidoe calls. I.e when i used Orange IL wm5, i had no problem. This was 3 monnth ago. Now, having WM6 - I can use vidoe call, but it seems that the front camera does not work. I can see the side who is talking to me, but i cannot see my protrait. Any help?

which Hebrew do you use?
Video call
i've tried any options in the video call setting - including the
"turn of camera" and "flip the 2nd camera". did not help. I'm using eyron hebrew for wm6. last edition. I do not think its the cause, as i tried the video call before installing Hebrew - and didn't help. As you can see here -- http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Himalaya;action=display;num=1187527263 -- it's a problem that many have. Maybe someone knows of an application for the front camera? I could use that to see if the problem is with the camera itself.
Can anyone use video call in LA area with ATT/cingular service? If so, any setting need to be set? I always have probelm to start the video call.
Video call
Anyone? Help? please. Thanks.
used video call on my tytn in france. worked fine with wm6... i was using custel 1.3 at the time.
?
Anyone? Any idea?
Got the same problem myself.
Not able to get video camera on front working.
Same here in Hong Kong. No video call function since day 1 of upgrade to WM6, from cooked roms to official.

sunnysoft calling card issue with wm6 rom

hi ,
i am using an application called sunnysoft to dial my calling card no. s . but when ever i use this application to dial a number , its not registering in the call history. Has any one faced this issue.
i have tried this with almost all rom s in this forum ( tnt, pandora kitchen, scaps, cyphol and v3pg)
Is there a solution for this or is there an alternative application to dial calling card...
thanks in advance
Hi,
We are having the same issues with Treo 750s and we've tried to get a hold of the Sunnysoft's support without any luck (ie calls hung up, emails unanswered).
There's another issue with WM6 phone gives you a 'Call Ended' popup which seems to slow down the speed at which this app works (as it seems to hang up in teh background on your call and redial using calling card, very slow).
Anyway just noticed that v1.1 just been posted on 1st of October, going to try that, no idea on whats new in it as product page is still listing v1.0 as latest.
Would be keen to find out of any other apps out there, surely its not that hard to make something like this that would work well.
*** Correction *** Seems like the so called v1.1 is actually v1.0, false alarm :-(
Typera, i have the same experience with this application. The version 1.1 that is out is the not the calling card but sunnysoft contact manager.
The other application that i use at times is called callingcard. THis one works fine but the limitation is that when you have to call a no. , you have to click on the contact and then select the option of " call using calling card" . so its so cumbersome.....
another one that i found is a inbulit calling card application in the inesoft contact manager but could not find a way to configure it.
i was looking out for some other better program that integrates both these but none seems to be available.....
hi drgopoos,
just tried the callingcard and its quiet a pain in the bum to use, not as easy given treo's quick finder thing from todays screen.
I did notice one change in the calling card app from sunnysoft download from today is ability to wait for dialtone, which if I recall correctly was not there 2-3 months ago. Maybe there's hope after all...slim as it may be.
I too started using it for a few months now , but i think that this feature ( dial tone) was present there even before..

3G Video Call?

Hi Folks!
I've updated to WM6 a few months ago....but since then no video call allowed...is there anyway to fix this?

Video calls have nothing to do with wm6, they were already possible with wm5.
In your post, you don't say if it used to work for you when you were using wm5 original ROM. If so, your wm6 ROM may have some problem, try to reflash with another one.
If 3G video calls never worked for you, make sure with your service provider that a special sim card is not needed for those specific 3G services.
In France, I heard you need to apply for a special sim card, the one you used for 2G cannot do video calls....

Problem with Voice Dropping Out on Caller's End with TMobile

I am having major problems with the voice dropping out on my end. I can hear the other person, but they can not hear me. This happens sometimes right away when I make a call and sometimes a few minutes into the call.
The same problem is happening to me with every version of ROM and Radio Version I have tried:
WM5.0
WM6.0
WM6.1
I have a HTC 8500 Hermes (8525 without the camera) - ATT/Cingular that I am running on the TMobile Network.
I am currently running CRC's WM 6.1 with Radio 1.54.07.00
I get great signal and good data connection. The calls do not drop entirely only my voice outgoing.
I ran the network selection wizard and selected T-Mobile without result.
I have spent hours reading the forum and searching for posts about this...
Any help or ideas?
Thanks
where u located? what plan u on? look at these prior threads on the subject from a xda google search...maybe some help:

With using a Bluetooth headset or straight through?
Have you flashed to the EXACT factory ROM/Radio for your model and see if you have the same symptom?
Hi there,
please refer to this thread. might help you find a solution or 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352218&page=2
Main ideas is
1. Disable your start up animation sound
2. Do not enable WOW HD Settings on boot up.
I am in Dallas, TX using the T-Mobile Network.
So far, I have only tried straight through. I will give the hands free and bluetooth a try. Thanks.
Also, I have tried 3 Shipped Roms or Factory upgrades (Cingular WM5.0, ATT WM 6.0, HTC WM 6.0)
I looked at the thread link and went through all of my phone settings, but I am not sure how to disable the start up animation sound or WOW HD settings on boot up.
I will keep searching the forums' threads, but if you have some instructions that would be great.

Mine has gone all day and it seems to be working. I think it's the SRS_WOWHD_bt_fixed cab like wikiri mentioned.

The problem is that I can not find how to fix or reinstall the WOWHD. Is it a patch or a setting change?
With the hands free plugged in the phone works perfectly. If I unplug the hands free then the mic goes out or is patchy.
it sounds very much like my phone problem that i had. I use the mic and the other side couldn't hear me well, keep saying i sound too far away. Once i turn on the bluetooth, they could hear me loud and clear.
If turning off Starting animiation sound and WOW HD Settings doesn't work. chances are you have a bad mic and need repairs.
Thanks for your posting on the problem with my mic on the Hermes. It is definately the same problem you had. I was wondering if you could help me with how to turn off the WOW HD settings and initial animation. I have searched the forums and can only find that I should do these things but not how. I am running CRC's WM6.1 v.11. I can not find a program called WOW HD in the settings.
Thanks alot!
I am having the same problem except the conversation goes well for a minute or so then the person on the other end can not hear me.
The solutions given don't work for me and I never used SRS WOW.
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change all these settings.
I'm hoping the phone doesn't need repair. It just stopped working and when it does work is clear and precise. Does anyone have any other ideas?
addicus, I have had the same problem with my 8525 on Tmob here in Chicago. I think my problem is a combination of poor signal quality/radio rom.....I wonder how much this has to do with Tmob upgrading their network to 3G.

What's up Vision77. I believe this has a lot to do with the 3G upgrade for TMobile USA. I never had this problem until 4 days ago and I know my area (Southern California Inland Empire) is being upgraded soon as part of Los Angeles.
I flashed a new radio last night and it seemed to have solved the issue from my test. Chexk out my signature for the radio # and good luck.
All Hermes radios are available on the wiki or through CRCinAU's signature.
yea, I found radio 1.47.00.10 to be the best w/tmobile out West, back in Ohio, in Texas, and even roaming in Mexico!
