how can I add video calls?

I have hermes100-AT&t, i dont use it with AT&T so i have the ability to make video-calls. I have just upgraded to "Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v3.62.0_ATT_Full" but it doesnt have the video-call dial.(this is the only rom not crashing so please i would like a solution without getting diffrent rom if possible...)
can someone give me an advice?
thanks

u should really read thru the forum there are tons of postings on 3g dialer. welcome to the site. but to not get flammed i would for sure use the search function for "3g dialer"

doesnt work
thanks 4 your prompt answer, i have installed "schaps video dailer" it became purpel but the video buttom doesnt shows.
what should i do?

It was reported that none of the actual 3G dailer works on the new WM6 rom but Black's one (part1,part,part3). It can be found on the thread of my rom (near the last page I think); but it is a very very unclean way to get a 3G dialer.

Question for you Fun_Key... What's the recommended way to load up the 3G dialer? Do you know if a package is available? I haven't had any luck with the package maker or with Schen's 3g either.
Thanks!

fun_key's method (part1,part2,part3) works fine but as he said, it seems quite an unclean way, i mean opening up the windows folder would now take me 10-12 seconds compared to previously 2-3 seconds.Aside from that, havent really noticed any other slowdown but i'd really like to know fun_key's other way of incorporating the 3g dialer....Fun_key if you could help us on this please? I noticed that u did it on the last version of ur rom and I'd really like to know how u did it...

What seems to slow windows listing is to overwrite ROM files. If the files are allready in rom, no problem.
What I did was something like that: Look into the part1.cab with a cab tool, copied all the data to the ROM and the registry. But 2 of the bmp located in the part1.cab are corrupted. You will find in a folder called wm6 extra or something like an uncorrupted copy of those file. Replace the corrupted file with the good one and you're done.
The part1,part2,part3 is an unpretty workarround to get rid of those corrupted file.
I also did some test with the beloved Kaiser 3G dialer, and everytime I made a video call my phone allmost crashed (work fine though). Any further information about this issue welcome (thread jacking on it's way )

Thanks Fun_Key! Will give it a try and see if we can come up with a new cab installer!
If anyone else has done this already, I would appreciate it if someone would let us know so I don't have to reinvent the wheel!
Thanks Everyone!

Please help, 3G video dialler not working for me.
Hi all.
Sorry for double posting my problem, but Fun_Keys ROM thread is now 28 pages deep, nearly 300 posts, and growing!!
This thread is relevant to my problem, so I add it here -
I have Fun_Keys WM6 1.5.2 on my UK T-Mobile Vario II hermes and after enabling the video dialling button using the advanced config tool, I still cant make video calls.
I've tried calling somebody with a 3G phone who can video dial other people. If he video calls me, he gets a service unavailable beeping sound. If I call him, I just get nothing but this dialog -
"Fail to make the video call. What do you want to do?"
Try again
Make voice call
Send SMS
Send MMS
Does anybody have any ideas what to look for to sort the problem out? I'm very new to custom 3g dialers and custom WM6 ROMs. I've taken a look around but cant find anything suitable. Its now the only thing I'm missing from the original firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Stu

the 1-3.cab worked just fine (slow but ok) thanks

Did you try the 3-cab method yet? That seems to work for everyone.

Already in the ROM?
Hi Quakie
I was under the impression that its already in my WM6 ROM because I'm using Fun_Keys latest.
Regardless, I'll try it -
Can anybody tell me where I can find the three CAB files?
Many thanks

Bug in Contacts application in WM6

Hello everybody, today I updated my HTC620 with the official WM6 upgrade from the HTC site. I am wondering why the hell???
The first thing were the mixed contacts from SIM card, phone and MSN. I solved it with deleting everything from the SIM card (what a solution!).
What really bothers me is the bug, that does not allow me to call my mother:
I have her number listed as "mama" and when I go to contacts and start typing "m", it shows me all the contacts, that have "m" in the beginning of either name or surname. Then I press "a" and it does not narrow the search to the contacts, that have "ma" in the beginning, but instead, the S620 understands this as "#" and does whatever it does. After pressing "m" again, I see all the contacts, that have "m" in the beginning and so on.
so after pressing "mama" it is searching "m#m#m#" and it shows me all the contacts that include "m".
My investigation shows, that this happens with all the contacts, which have the same letters before and after the second letter "a", i.e. for example:
"mam..."
"tat..."
"nan...."
Can anyone please confirm this?
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks,
Gastan

I just tried it and yep it seems to be a bug for me too. I don't know of a fix though

I noticed the same for a few contacts....
Change 'mama' to 'mamma' and the problem for this contact is solved

good solution
Thanks a lot, this really helps for this case
Amazing, what mistakes can occur in the SW.

Yeah... QA and Testing is obviously a little shoddy. I don't think we would ever see this on a Blackberry.

That latest ROM that was found/released doesn't have this bug.

Can you post this fix?

replace the attached file in folder \windows\ on phone, you may need to use total commander or any other filemanager to copy it.

Are you using the new rom ? Because only in this rom is the "z" problem.
I keymapped a lot of roms but only in the new one i can't fix this problem !
The problem is the 'z' searching in contacts, not the keyboard map.
Thanks anyway.

Official ROM 2.03 Keyboard issue

Hi All,
Have searched but could not find any info on this. On a regular basis when i receive a text i click it to reply and for whatever reason the on screen keypad will not show up and it requires me to create a message from scratch. It's quite annoying and i wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same problem?
Thanks

same here

problem with sending textmessage

I've got a new problem with my pro2.
It seems that when i'm getting a textmessage and i write an answer... in the little box down the window you see on this picture: [click for image of window]...
it will send.. no problem... (to the phonenumber: +31612345678, thats good)
but when i then send another textmessage to the same person again, in the same box as earlier, and i don't got an answer yet the pro2 shows that the message is send, but when i look at the phonenumber its changed automatic. it must be +31612345678 but then it is 31612345678 without the +... so the message is not send...
how can i solve this?

NOt a real solution, but dial two zero's "00" instead of the + sign. Though it should work with the + character

Same here! I was wondering why I didn't get a reply from the message I thought I was sending...now it's obvious.
Need a hotfix FAST!
As a business user this is totally unacceptable!

I don't think that will help, and i'm not going to change all my phonenumbers, because the + caracter must work to.
i'll try later this day with one person.

Hmm, that's all ok. So that don't caused the problem... any more solutions anyone?

The contact manager has an option to auto set the phone number.
If I (still my hermes for now) add this number 0612345678 my contact manager makes it: +31612345678
Maybe it's something with this settings of auto managing the number format. Don't give this solution much chance though

Hi i'm xperia user, with a rhodium ROM, the newest one Build 21051.1.6.4, and we (all users) have this same problem too. Even in prevorius rom version i had problem with it. The problem is in HTC roms. I think u neet to wait for a update.

Thanks, i've send smaberg a private message. hopefully he knows the answer. strange problem!

Your buddy John might appreciate it if you edit your original message to remove his direct number from the forum.
EDIT: Hah! I'm dumb. I just noticed that it was a dummy number! I'll shut up now.

Hahahahaa, youre funny

hmm not found a solution yet! ... anyone else maybe?

Ah! i've got a reaction of smaberg! (It's for the X1 officially but i think/hope it will work to on the TP2, because it are both WM phones...) but i can not test it now...
my plan is to test it somewhere tomorrow (sunday)... i will post the results, and the answer here if i know more!

i've tested it, but the problem is still there.

I still have the same issue as well, weird no solution is available huh...

I've added a poll let's see how many people there are with the problem

you should notify HTC support - they really DO read the messages they get - describe it good, and you will get response.

How can i contact them? there website is not very clear about that

doubt about incoming call screen slide

First of all excuse me about thise title, i didn't know which name I would give to this thread.
I have a problem with this incoming call slide. In my stock ROM, it was very smooth when answered or rejected a call. Since I flashed a new ROM, this slide became very slow, even flashing with stock ROM from htc.com.
Could you plesase tell me if you have the same problem?
And I would be very thankfull if someone tell me how can I fix this.
(sorry for my english )

In my experiences, the slide has never been smooth. Would be interested to see if theres a fix.

I Use my Blackstone from around 2 years and the slider is just Eye Candy i never use it i preffer to press the hardware call button, because often the slider is slow or laggy and this is how it is in many rooms i use around 50 ROM`s and i can tell you Better use the Button the slider is not good at all
Anyway if you want to pick up call with slider you can use S2U2 its free and have Full Screen Caller Image with more sensetive slider and alot other things

Improving the on-screen slider feature
This post is one year old, but maybe the link below will help someone who has the same problem and is trying to solve it.
So I suggest downloading the hotfix from HTC ‘s home page:
Title: Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls

P.S. This is my first post so please forgive me for not posting the link straight away. It is forbidden for security reasons from the forum rules. Respect.

thanks for sharing.
let me just add more information:
the link you provided leads to a direct hotfix (an exe file to be executed on the blackstone directly). it works without entering a serial number (important for everyone with a carrier branded device, that are not able to download roms from htc directly).
and most important: that fix only works for roms 1.22 or older (assuming that the fix is built into newer stock roms).
and for everyone to lazy to copy and paste and mod the url you gave, here is an active link:

If you did flash a non-stock ROM and tryed to apply the hotfix, probabily it will happen again.... If your ROM is a a stock one, it might not happen, but you can try.
