3G Video Call Problem

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

Video calls solution
Galinha, Griffy wiffy!
I used this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1149766&postcount=82. Some other people also reported this helped. The only difference for me, was that I installed these skin cabs (see attachment) one after another: "TyTN_Blue...", and then "zphone_..".
Please use search "search" function - these questions were discussed several times in XDALive threads.
Good luck!

Really?
Dear Konstantin K.,
Can you really use the video button to dial video call?
Some people can install the dial pad but when pressing the video call button, it just make normal call (NO video)....
Thanks for your reply in advance.

Install These cabs
Install these cabs it worked on my spvm3100 and video call works fine.
First install MT_PC_HERMES.... then the zpv_leaf
the first adds video calls the second installs the skin.
also make sure that your phone has the correct settings in connections so can actually connect to the 3g network to make video calls
hope this helps

This works well on my UK SPV M3100 on the 3 network.
Used the TyTN Grey dialpad from the wiki to try and match the colours on the Aero scheme.
Anyone found a better dialpad that matches the colours well??

work fine for me but device seems to be slower, that it was before I install it.
I used this:
MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab
MT_PC_Hermes_HTC_REG_070112.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
and after that
zphone_reptile_blue_mm_qvga_3g_wm5.cab

Hello :
Thnks ! Where can i get these files ?
Are you haooy with you radio version ? GPS WORKS ???

Hi, what do you need to set specifically? I have the dialler, skin and 3G connectivity (for internet) but the Video call fails every time?
Any ideas?

PS I can receive Video calls fine, its just initiating the call from my M3100?

Just noticed that installing this fix on WMXL v.20 gives me the old green background on the Comm Manager program. It's hidious when compared to the rest of the theme. This didn't happen on WMXL v.10.
Any way to skin it back??
S.K.

Hi! hang.tuah:
Will you post the solution (dialer bitmaps)?
thank you!

I know this is not a issues thread but I thought I would mention after installing the methods mentioned in this thread to get video call, I've noticed when in phone mode if you press the softkey representing Contacts nothing happens however if you actually tap the Contacts on screen then I can go into contacts, has anyone noticed this?

I have this problem also, I thought it was due to my video skin only though. Not too much of an issue, but suspect when the 'official' XDA Live skin for video calling comes out, then it'll be fixed.

My comm manager is blue. but this dialer lags horribly.........

Strange, my dialer works fine (except for the contacts button obviously) no lag at all. However as soon as I install the P_Generic_UI cab file included in the zip of 3 cabs poseted here my comm manger goes back to the old green HTC one in WM5. This did not happen to me in the previous WMXL release.
Tried it twice now and my comm manager has been reskinned.
Must be doing sommin wrong here, lol.

ok tks for the help...

the video call 100% working. i've tested it with both parties. no worry.

also fully functional here, working on all WM6 till now I tested

got this weird problem though when receiving (only) video call, that the still (default pic) came out & the video won't change to show receiver's video despite tapping the still pic etc. (caller video is shown perfectly)
..this does not happen when making video calls from my end.. everythings is perfect (using lvsw 26-03-07 ROM)
tried to look for solution in video call option/settings.. but to no avail..
any ideas?
thanks in advance..

in the phone app. menu video call options. there should be a setting to flag that says something like disable camera when receiving a video call.
seemed like an setting but worked for me on wm5. however... I don't want need or use vc on wm6 so can't test for u.

LG KS20 NAVIGATION-BUG SOLVED(partially)

Guys,
For those that you bought the LG-KS20,propably you have noticed that there is a bug concerning voice announcements of Destinator or TOMTOM.
The voice announcements are cut off most of time.
But if you run in the background a windows media file (f.e an mp3 with no sound) you will see that the voice announcements are fully heard.
I was wondering if a kind developers can help us a bit and explain us why this is happening.
Best Regards

At least I made a small script to start the playback, then start TomTom and after closing TomTom stop the playback.
Maybe someone finds it useful.
Regards
Helmut

Thanks for you soft
i supposed it doesn't resolve the microphone probleme?
Is it possible to resolve the micro problem by the same kind of utilities?

Mouse007
I am the same one who has post post in the french <forummobile> which i was asking the sollution with the microphone.
The thing is that i test my phone yesterday through my office for 1 hour kai 15 minutes in GSM and 1 hour an 35 minutes with 3G.My Microphone did not turned off.
What can i say

I'm sorry this has nothing to do with your microphone bug, but since I remember having similar problems with my old SDA smartphone, which were caused by bad hardware design, I would suggest to send your phone to the service center. Maybe some KS20 phones are having similar defects, too. I'm afraid there will be no software solution for this bug.
Regards
Helmut

Thanks a lot , but the problem affects all the ks20 when we're calling outside 3G reception
I'm sure the problem could be solved by the same kind of software ...

I had also this problem occasionally and my favorite PDA reseller / SFR (Vodafone France) representative explained that the same problem occured with Nokia 3G+ phone using SFR networks.
Actually the problem would not lie with LG nor the ROM but with the SFR 3G+ network when the phone is switching between 3G+ and GPRS. The solution - as recommended by Nokia France in an official note further to this problem - is actually simply to block the phone to GPRS (or 3G+ if always available) network (instead of letting it switch automatically) until SFR fixed their network problem. Of course, if blocked to GPRS, you will need to change this everytime you want to use 3G+.

Maybe it cannot set the Audio buffer size properly... this bug involves not only Tomtom or Destinator but many other GPS navigation software too!!! This phone is FULL of BUGS!!!!! I've also try Miopap (iGo) software but it can't run in fullscreen mode because of top menu bar that cannot be hidden; then...this phone can't run any software using directDraw, so there's no 3D acceleration, no PointUI interface, no games, no iGo8...; I cannot use Skype and this due to the Qualcomm processor architecture...
hope a new rom is coming...now this phone (as is) sucks...

@gregnapola: Look into other posts - there IS a already a new row out for the KS20.

Pax

Thank you paxman, I've already seen it, but they're only SFR or German...I'm waiting for an English one at least(10e or better 10f)...so the only thing I can do now is playing (crying ) with my 10c italian ROM...

Here is the dutch version of the *Fix* for the LG KS20.
I also changed the dummy.asx a little. Instead of calling dummy.mp3 times 40. I've now made that script to call dummy.mp3 one time and then it will call dummy.asx again.
This means the loop is continuous instead of having it end after 40 times (20 hrs).
Hope it's useful.
I want to thank lindih for the original fix.

This is a cool looking phone.
Who is the maker of this phone? Quanta, the maker of O2 Atom?

I don't know exactly where all the hardware pieces are from, but the phone is sold by LG and caries the LG logo. So I suspect it could be made by LG.

Hi I have downloaded the file and see the folders and files inside can you please confirm the steps required to install.
I assumed copying the files into the relevent folders on the device is this correct?. and where do i put the "MortScript-4.1-PPC.cab" file and what do i do with it? do i just install it?

Call recording on Desire (android)

Hi!
I have a question if its possible to record incoming and outgoing calls on the Desire.

+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!

Dear All:
001.
Anybody has any positive experience with Ultimate Voice Recorder running on the HTC Desire (in the field of calls recording)?
002.
UVR on N1 seems to have problems with recording of the second party's voice, but on the US market this can actually be an "intentional" configuration/setup of the device.
003.
If same issues are present on the Desire how likely it is to get "fix" like the 2WayRecording? I have successfully used it on my TYTN2 together with Resco Audio Recorder to alleviate second party's voice recording issues.

+1 !!!!
2-way phone recording need very much!
any solution?

Desire and Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4
Hi,
an "In Call Recording function" would be nice to have. I partially was succesful with the Ultimate Voice Recorder 2.3.4 which was able to record the remote person very silent, but still recognizable.
Same problems as I had with Windows Mobile 6: I used to have a T-Mobile Ameo (HTC Advantage x7501, Code name Athena) which would only record the other side's person in speaker mode.
More or less bad luck until now, as I expected Android-devices being superiour in this matter!
Greetings.

shame this, my c905 did it out of the box flawlessly

Hy guys, I just installed on my Desire (Android 2.1) something from the market called vRecoreder.
Used it once running in the background and it recorded my conversation (the recorded volume is kind low, but you understand).
Give it a try.
ps: had to uninstall all my call voice recorders that run in the background.

Update: it records .3gpp (hence the bad quality i think) and aparently records only incoming calls. Must test more though.

Two ways call recording is depending upon hardware construction same like wm and symbian. For example if wm, Asus and Samsung can but HTC cannot, whereas if in symbian case, Nokia can but Samsung cannot. This conclusion comes from my long experience with the aforementioned mobile phones. Have not tested with Garmin Asus android yet as it is not available in my market but believe this one can.

I'm sorry, but I have an exception on that theory right here.
My Touch Diamond wouldn't do a two way recording whatever I tried. Until I switched to a custom (WM6.5.1) ROM, there it worked fine. So no hardware issue, it was a ROM issue.

I second this, as in a few Win Mobile threads discussed (no link at hand, sorry) there are registry values to be manipulated for successful two-way-voice recording. As far as I remember Microsoft and HTC stated that being NOT possible to record 2-way (without speaker mode), were hardware (design!) related facts and decisions made - until someone figured it out otherwise, by accident! (As a prior Win Mobile user: praise him!)

Not being able to record calls in Android phones is really sad.
The Palm system was able to do it from day one.
In fact the largest selling single piece of software for a smart phone ever is
Qmobilsoft's "Callrec" for palm.
So what does that say for a needed feature.
P.S. The Palm OS is now over 15 years old.

It worked on my Touch Pro2 as well, but seems as though the stock rom was on there for around 10 mins i dont know if it worked out of the box or not.

AirVoice claims to be able to do this. Unfortunately in my experience it just doesn't

Hi falks!
The situation is easyer, then you think.
The hardware and the software are ready to record 2way the phone conversations. We have only one problem: we doesn't have any software, which would do it for us.
At this time is the only solution the Ultimate Voice Recorder, which records the outgoing voice perfect, and the incoming voice very quiet.
Total Recall is the other software, which could be able to do this feature, unfortunatelly it does it only under 1.6, so on our phone - HTC Desire - doesn't works.

For the moment... maybe turn the speakerphone on... and record the whole conversation with another phone! Hahaa... lmao!

is there apps for 2 way rec
or only wish centar

Agreed but I had HTC Touch Cruise too and did adjust the registry value up to 5 in the Sound Categories using Memmaid software. The incoming call recording improve but very slightly indeed and is too far to compare with the clear quality from my Samsung i780 using Vito audio note in non speaker phone for both. Finally sold the HTC out and bought Asus P552w and very happy with the unit. Suggest to know and choose the right hardware from the start otherwise one has to learn how to play with registry or cooked rom and run the risk of losing warranty if does not know how to flash back the official rom.

No one here can confirm that Desire can do this yet. Samsung Spica and Galaxy S are reported to fail to record incoming call
