The previously mentioned Ateksoft program is the best implementation I've seen to date. Basically turns your phone into an IP Webcam. Cost is about $20, and in my opinion it's well worth the money if you have need for such a thing.
A couple more you might try (and they're free) are Whoosh Cam and Comvu PocketCaster. The latter isn't quite a realtime webcam, but it does have some other interesting features, such as capturing and storing video to an upload server for later viewing.
These are all nice ... if you want to connect to be "tethered."
However, does anyone know of a "stand-alone" application where I can use my HTC Hermes as a webcam and broadcast to Skype, MSN Messenger, etc. that is running on that same device?
Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "tethered"? None of these require your Hermes to be attached to a PC via cable (USB connection). They can all work through Wifi or GPRS. And Ateksoft Webcamera Plus DOES work with Skype, MSN Messenger, etc. Did you bother to read the program capabilities linked in my previous post?

As far as I know that is a function of the client and neither Pocket Skype or MSN has that built in. Maybe one day...

Right. I see what he means by "tethered" now. The mobile versions of MSN Messenger, Skype, etc don't have video capability from the device. That's a limitation of those app's, not the webcam software mentioned.
I imagine when that capability comes to the mobile versions, you probably wouldn't need to use a second webcam app for the device to get the video stream.

The following applications do not work with this version:
SlingPlayer for WM5 smartphone (Can't connect)
Tornado PowerControl (OMAP errors out)
What applications don't work for you?
-TXTman can't capture sms
-AE Button Plus broke "end call" key when i remapped it to end programs
-Replacing IE_Short.lnk with task manager command causes internet explorer to open simultaneously with task manager
yeah no threaded sms programs will catch the messages. that's my only gripe right now.

I've run an Application Unlock on my S620 and I've managed to install Blackberry Connect but, like you, not getting any mail.
I've given up and gone back to the German WM5 rom. After a couple restarts of the device, the blackberry connet top banner doesn't even show up on homescreen anymore!
I'll wait till rim gets their act together on WM6.
J
Hmm...I am going to give this another try.
I realized that I couldn't get emails on my device, even after putting the WM5 rom back on, because I hadn't sent a "service book" from rim's blackberry site. That did the trick. Gonna, reload WM6 and give it a shot!
J
Bah, no luck getting this thing to connect or run reliably let alone get emails...
how do i go back to my original .. windows mobile 5...
if anyone is using WM6 on the Dash...
could you please tell me if they fixed the bug that automatically changes your profile to "headset" when you connect a bluetooth handsfree headset.
and if it does change it to "headset" automatically could you please tell me if you are able to change your profile to "normal" while the bluetooth headset is still connected
Thanks in advance

Someone would have to consider that a bug first. I think more than 99% of the people using a bluetooth headset would want the phone to switch to headset profile automatically. Call me silly, but...

well yeah it would seem that way but when i have my bluetooth headset connected... sometimes i want my phone on silent/vibrate and other times i want it to play sounds, and i hate having to go and edit the headset profile manually to do this, just changing the profile would be a lot more convenient.
I use my wired headset to play music then set the profile to normal.
Does this not work the same way when using a BT headset?

no for bluetooth, you can't change your profile unless you disconnect the headset
I noticed that none of the MSN pre-installed software that was part of WM5(MSN IM, Hotmail access, etc) is on this version. When I attempt to set up my messaging to receive hotmail, I get an error stating: "could not find pmsnlauncher". I've looked around and found a download of the pocketMSN software, but it must be 'activated' for ~$20. It does mention (msn website), however, that if the software is 'pre-installed' no activation is necessary. This leads me to believe that the MSN software is simply not part of the BETA rom.
Anyone else notice this? Any thoughts?
msn is now windows live.

uhhh... tpc works just fine for me... i'm using 2.0 beta 4 of tpc, but other versions should probably work as well. make sure your phone is completely app unlocked, or you will have problems. that includes the 0000101b policy entry in the registry.
i'm the creator of tpc, so if you have questions about it feel free to message me.
does "right menu" work on WM6?
Sling player works with WM6 beta

I found this over at the sling community forum. I can confirm that it Sling player mobile is now working with the install of the DLL only cab auto install.

I am having the same issue as well!
doesn't work under WM6
Hello,
I'm raising big hopes about the scheduled WM6 upgrade (i'm waiting for the official one, not t-mobile's or russian one) but in the meantime, do you know if there is an working SIP client for my s620 ?
By working, i mean that the audio is correctly routed, I don't want to use an headset.
I've tried fring, skype, bewip, gosip. I don't mind purchasing a piece of software if it work well.
Thanks
as much as i know.. the very best (for the moment) is skype..
and the headset i think it is not big deal to use..
just my opinion..
Oh, pick me! I know the answer! Me! Me! Me!
Well, if you wanna go proprietary, Skype'll do the job. But you want SIP, so that puts Skype right out. The correct answer was Fring™. Fring is a free MSN/ICQ/Skype/SIP client that claims to operate over WiFi and GPRS. I've only tested it over WiFi, and I'm doubtful that GPRS will be enough to make it work right (EDGE, maybe). Thankfully, Fring™ is free, and all you have to do is go to their web site. The entire process can even be done on your phone.
I could never get the WM6 Internet Calling app to work. Others have reported that the connection drops (although the wi-fi connection is still up) after 15 minutes. Another user and myself had the same config (aside from username/password and phone number), his worked, mine didn't.
I installed Fring and its SIP client worked as advertised. Can connect to any voip provider.
(But didn't like the fact I had to create a Fring account even if not planning to use it)

Yes, but the fact I can't have sound from earpiece is a problem...
Anyone has Skype installed on HD? I installed the version at official website and it didn't work.
use FRING: you can manage Skype, MSN messenger and many similar apps all in one software and all at the same time.
I installed Skype on my Touch HD today from the Skype website. I used the 2.5 Beta version for Pocket PC (installed to my computer and used ActiveSync to install to internal memory of my HD). I've seen posts where people have been saying they've had issues, but (so far) Skype is working on my HD.
Skype works flawlessly on the HD.
I tested skype from my HD to another HD with skype and the results where
really awesome.. so little lag you dont even notice (we both used Wifi)
To Op: make sure you download for ppc and not smartphone.
I downloaded the PPC version, and try it again but still not working, maybe my HD is chinese version?
echoooooo
I used Skype and just like when i use it at home i get the echo sound and a repeating of dialog

Skype 2.5 didn't work on my HD either (crashed as soon as I tried to call someone), but the earlier 2.2.0.38 works.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to attach it to my post, but maybe you can find it somewhere on the web.
i tried once and the install didn't complete properly, the second time it just ran ok and have no issues with it. They should somewhat fix the interface tho and make it a little more fingerfriendly. support for camera would rule also.
on my Hd works but only if use WiFi, doesn't work via ActiveSync
i have installesd the mobile version from the website and it works fine. No problems at all with it. camera does not work with it but other than that it works fine.
I downloaded the current version from the web site and it works fine on wifi. Does not want to work over activesync (but then why would I want to bother, when I'm using the PC I just use Skype on the PC).
I have not yet tried Skype on the HD with bluetooth - next thing to try ...
I use Nimbuzz.

The new version supports WVGA an can manage a lot of providers like skype, icq, google, StudiVZ (german), yahoo, msn, ... in just one program. I love it

I didn't see the touch HD version listed there....which should I download?
Hey guys, I have Skype 2.5 working nicely except for one thing...
The sound comes out of the REAR speaker instead of the front
I think I may have seen someone mention it before in another thread but couldn't find it again.
Any fixes? Cheers
I am using skype on my HD and it works like clock and it looks really pretty as well...
It works both over wifi and over t-mobile internet connection...
cheers
Haha lucky you - sadly I still have this annoying problem
That's cool man, are you using a stock Touch HD or a particular ROM?
I have Skyp on my HD, it works well over both WiFi & my 3G connection, although as said, the voice comes over the rear speaker
After a bit of digging, a guy from Skype says HTC haven't shared something that would enable them to use the front speaker perfectly, without hacking which he says would cause too many support issues. Nevertheless here's the thread, worth a read..
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=186171&st=20
His suggestion is to install this app called AudioRoute..
http://teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
.. and I just checked to see if it works, and it does.
So before launching Skype we will have to launch this little program and it puts a small square on your Home screen. After pressing it you get the options of Front, Rear, Speakerphone ON and Exit. Pressing Front and then making a call with Skype has the desired effect.
It is good enough for me until hopefully Skype come up with something
Working with Skype for WM 3.0 on my HD and found no bugs. Everything goes well. WiFi or Edge or 3G all without problems. SMS now included and the most improvement. My provider offered a cheap 3G flatrate but the SMS are very expensive. Without me thanks to skype!
Interesting to see my Skype shows copyright for 2.5 but under version it's 3.0.0.100 to found. Seems they found no time to change the copyright up to today
P.S. The front speaker is active without any additional app. In fact there are front and rear active, allways.
hey everyone, i was wondering about an application that does make video calls from ur pocket pc HD or X1 to other computers using skype or msn...etc
i use that from my laptop but its a bit hard to do so while traveling or even roaming around..i made alot of searches for such application and foound few sharewares that does video confrence ONLY from a pocket pc to another pocket pc..
what im requesting is finding a way to do video calls from ur pocketpc to skype or msn using 3G/Wifi connections, it would be really great to have such thing application...
best regards everyone

thx for the info but i tried this one, buggy and really slow... what im looking for is somthing that can make video calls from ur pocket pc to skype or msn
still cant find anything...
my best regards
Hi!
I've also been looking for such applications, but so far haven't found anything like it. It would be great, wouldn't it be? We will just have to wait until someone comes out with the solution.
Even I am waiting for such application. Maybe Skype themself may come up with this option.. Other than that, great people here might have to develop one..
